Paid Up Policyholders Notice There seems to be some misinterpretation of the convention ruling that all paid up policy holders are entitle 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 insur ance policy to maturity and received a paid 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.

Again, as in the past 30 years, Lawton, Oklahoma, has held the "Easter Pageant—Forever" amid the magnificent natural backgrounds of that country to which thousands of persOs from these parts of the United States converge to witness this panorama patterned after the Passion Play of OberAmmergau village in Bavaria, that have been held for many centuries.

Dear Readers: It is only proper and fitting that we comment more in detail on the fine job that our Sister Rose Parma of Lodge 66, Waco, has done in her capacity as District Three secretary last year.

Her care in recording the minutes of the District Three meetings, giving attention to detail, as well as her prompt attention to handling of District Three business entrusted to her, earn her our sincere gratitude.

In our everyday lives we are so preoccupied with our own problems that we tend to take these fraternal workers for granted and if we but stop a minute to thank them and recognize their efforts, it will give them impetus to remain active in their respective lodges, hence for the good of our fraternity.

Sister Parma, may we continue to hear from you in your Vestnik, even though you may now be just a "member" (Sister Wilma Nesuda of Ennis is the new secretary of District Three, elected this last meeting. Good luck, As the Easter sunrise touches our Sister Nesuda!) continent, multitudes or worshippers Sister Parma, it has been a pleasure have gathered on Maine's Statehouse knowing you and your family better— steps, at Part Hamilton in New York having worked with you in our District Harbor, at the George Washington-Me- Three.

WedneFklay,ll.April TO • OUR ORGANIZERS A Tribute to the Field Representative The field representatives of fraternal insurance societies merit the same degree of commendation that was accorded to the agents of life insurance companies, in the remarks of L. O. Schriver, managing director of the National Association of Life Underwriters. He told a meeting of executives the field representatives who although they are sometimes unwept, unhanored and unsung, have made it possible to build highways, buildings and institutions.

"They represent you at the grass roots, and many a policy holder has confidence in the organization because they have confidence in the man who is their neighbor," said Mr. Schriver.

'They teach thrift and demonstrate that life insurance is a different kind of investment than any other type available. It is the only investment in the world that matures, even c if the investor doesn't. It is the only thing that fa ther can buy on the installment plan that mother doesn't have to finish paying for. A judge of probate has said that 81 per cent of all the property of decedents left in the U. S. consisted of life insurance proceeds.

"Those who represent you have been teaching the public for 100 years that you can create on estate by the stroke of a pen .They have taught the public the value of life insurance as collateral. They have taught the public that it is a will by contract, and that no litigation needs to be involved in its distribution. They have been teaching the American public that life insurance is the device by which you can guarantee the education of children, the continuity of American business and competence in old age."—Monitor. ) • 4 • TEXAS SOCIETY FOR MENTAL HEALTH Governor Price Daniel has called upon all Texans to join the crusade against mental illness, the number one health problem facing the state and nation.

In proclaiming April 28 to May 4 as Mental Health Week, the governor said, "Mental illness is no longer hopeless, as evidenced by the increased rates of improvement and recovery in our mental hospitals. We can help the mentally ill of Texas to be restored to their families and communities by concerted citizen action."

Pointing to the facts that 16,000 Texans are in state hospitals now and it is estimated that one in 12 Texans will be hospitalized for mental illness some time during his lifetime, Governor Daniel stated, "It is the personal concern

V T KT — WEST, of each one of us to work for improved care and treatment of hospitalized patients, more intensive research, and for the creation and treatment of hospitalized patients, more intensive research, and for the creation of more community Mental health services aimed at prevention. Experience has shown that recovery from mental illness is dependent on early and proper treatment."

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES DEAR READERS

Since my last article which appeared in the Vestnik on April 4, regarding our proposed SPJST Rest Home, many of our members have come to me to contribute to our rest home, and many of our members promised me individual contributions to that cause, each according to his ability.

I also received a letter from one of our lodge members who lives in the northwestern part of Texas, who is a member since 1904 but who because of the distance is not able to attend our meetings, who wrote as follows: "Dear John, I read your letter in the Vestnik and was very glad, indeed, that Lodge Komensky wants to do something for our rest home, for it has been a long time since I heard from any of you there and I thought that you had fallen asleep."

This brother wrote that he had already contributed directly to the Supreme Lodge but that he would again contribute to this worthy cause, and that I should in turn send the contribution to the proper place for the crediting of this gift.

Brothers, in the name of our SPJST Rest Home, I thank you for your contributions. I have made a list on which all names of contributing members will be written and when full, together with all monies, will be sent to the Rest Home Treasurer, Br. Charles Navratil, Temple, Texas, who ' will send each of you a receipt acknowledging your donations.

Brothers and sisters, no set sum is suggested for this contribution; let everyone give according to his means and as his heart dictates.

Wishing my best to each of you with a good measure of health included, I remain, Fraternally yours, Jno. P. Trlica, ) • 4 ° OUR BROTHER M(ICULKA—"THE FRATE•NALIST"

A very interesting letter has been received from our Brother F. K. Bucek, The letter was sent to him from his nephew Kocurek, a member of our fraternity. This young brother is on a tour around the world and we hope that he will give us after he returns some of his observations as to social standards of the different people he contacted while abroad.

Here is Kocurek's letter: Dear Mr. Bucek and Rest of Family: Thank you very much for the letter that was awaiting me from you when I got, to Calcutta. You have no idea how welcome a letter is when a person is so far from home. I am exactly on the opposite side of the world here. It is 1" hours difference in time.

Th is has been an amazing trip for me. first to be caught in San Franulseo during the earthquake, then being forced to land in Free China and to spend the night in a Japanese hotel ( no beds and Japanese girls to wait on you hand and foot) and other happenings about which I could write a book.

Calcutta is an amazing place—over 3 „million people. When drove in from air port la.s t night saw thousands of Indians . sleeping in streets and sidewalks.

Understand that every morning, the wagon goes down one street to another to pick up the dead and then burn them. The travel agent here at the hotel is a very good friend of Earl and Tom Slick of San Antonio whom I know well, and he will escort me around tomorrow. When I get to Rome I will try to get a visa for Prague. Understand I can get one. If I do I will go there for a few days. I will let you know.

Plans are being made for a Mother's Day program which will be the 11th of May. The program will be sponsored by our lodge Volna Cechie and assisted by the Junior Sokol children. As always on Mother's Day, after the program there will be eats and coffee.

In August our lodge will have a 40year celebration, this was discussed but as yet plans have not been made.

We are happy that Lodge No. 84' of Dallas will deliver us a Czech play the 28th of this month. This will be at the Ennis Sokol Hall. Make a note and plan to see a- good play.

We are also very proud that some of our Junior Sokols will appear on a TV show the 4th of May, with a square dance. Some of the children are members of our SPJST. Good luck to you, "Silver Bells."

Fraternally, Alene Skrivanek ) •4,, • ( LODGE ANTON J. CEBMAK, NO. 56 Corpus Christi, Tekas Brothers and Sisters; Lodge 56, Anton J. Cermak, held its regular meeting, April 14. The meeting; was well attended, about 42 adults and 38 children were present. The children had an Easter Egg Hunt and than were given ice cream and chocolate eggs.

Every one present seemed to have a wonderful time. I also want to thank Sister Vera Kucera for the well filled lazy Susan with chocola te bunnies, chicks, eggs, etc., these were used as prizes. I also want to thank to all the mothers that helped with this occasion.

As everyone knows Sunday will be the District 7 meeting all of us here in Cor-

VIT Strana 2.? pus Christi are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and fellow members of the SPJST. We are inviting all of the officers of the Supreme Lodge, the editor and the public to come and spend the day with us. The meeting begins at 9:45, the ladies will have that pot of coffe on and kolaches for anyone that wishes for that mid morning snack.

Too, I want to mention our next regular meeting, it will be held May 12 (Mother's Day). Sisters are asked for goodies and the husbands will serve.

(Ha - Ha). There also will be a door prize, donated by C. C. Sokol and prizes for the eldest and youngest mother.

This ought to be fun, so let's all come on out and join in the fun.

June 9th is the Annual picnic. So far it wasn't discussed too much and I will write the details at a later date. I'm leaving for a trip that was my dream when I was a little girl, and that is to Prague, Czechoslovakia .My Parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Holasek are taking my sister, Mrs. Carrie Veselka and yours truly on this wonderful trip. Also from Corpus Christi, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Strniska will make the trip. We are all looking forward for a trip of a lifetime. To go on a trip like this, there are so many things to think about and one must do before leaving. We are also planning to go to Vienna, Austria. Oh, I know this will be very interesting and lots of fun. I'm planning on taking many pictures with my 135 MM and in color So that when I come back I can project them on a screen. From now on I'll be plenty busy getting clothes suitable for that climate, vaccination, vision etc: I already have my passport and this is only a beginning. I'm sure everything will turn out right. I have cousins, aunts and cousins in Czechoslovakia that I'm looking forward to meet for the first time.

Well the rain just about missed us again, it rained only .5 in. t's just not enough for that dry sod. In our neighborhood the Cotton and maize are dying out. I just don't see why it doesn't rain anymore. We're still hoping that it will rain soon.

Will close my letter as it is time for me to go to the school and take the youngsters on their Easter party to the South Bluff Park, here in Corpus Christi When there are children in school, there is always somewhere to go.

Bye for now and am hoping to see all of you here Sunday the 28th.

CULAK LODGE NO. 165

Moulton, Texas Dear Readers: The April meeting of our lodge which was held this afternoon, proved quite interesting for there were several reports given on recent activities.

Firstly ,our secretary - treasurer informed us of the satisfactory results of the Irish Stew Supper which we had sponsored on March 17. Although it had rained hard up to noon that day, in the afternoon the weather cleared and we were delighted with the nice attendance at the supper. Bro. Joe Kubenka and his wife, with other helpers, did a wonderful job in preparing the delicious Irish stew.

Secondly, because of the absence of our organizer, Mrs. Anna Havlik and her faithful John, at the meeting, the president requested yours truly to give I a short report on the 6th District Meeting which eight of us attended in Hallettsville Sunday, April 7. I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that it was a pleasant experience to hear the talented youth of the Hallettsville and the Moravia lodges perform on the stage; to have an opportunity to listen to and meet several of our leading workers of the SPJST (that ineludes our editor and his gracious and charming wife), and finally, what an opportunity to mingle with old friends and to make new ones during the social hour. Our Mrs. Theresa Valenta happened to be the oldest member present and hence, Mr. Senkyrik presented her with a lovely gold pin and two silver dollars! Yes, Mrs. Valenta enjoyed the afternoon so well at the 6th District meeting this spring that she announced to us on our homeward way that she is going again to the fall meeting to be held at Sweet Home in October.

For the past few years every first Friday and Saturday in April the local FFA boys sponsor a fat stock show in our town, which gets underway with a parade of floats on Friday afternoon.

Any organization, commercial enterprise or individual is welcome to enter a float, therefore this year for the first time our Culak Lodge also entered one.

Although it was not awarded any prize, it served a good purpose, letting the multitude of onlookers know that the SPJST with its slogan "Benevolence, Humanity, Brotherhood" is a living organization. The few industrious members who worked so hard to decorate the float are to be commended, for no one knows better than I how much work goes into creating a float. I regretted that I could not help with it for our pastor had again appointed me

‘A'ednesday, April

1957

chairman of our church float, therefore bad my hands full with that project.

May I boast that our Zion Lutheran Church entry was awarded first prize in the organizational division?) If I obtain a clear picture of the SPJST float, I may send it in to the Vestnik if you will be able to reprint it.

Because of the fact that the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day, we voted to dispense with the meeting that month. Therefore, our next meeting will be held the second Sunday in June-no meeting in May. President Lee Jarosek appointed a committee of three, namely, Sisters Bessie Dlouhy, Mary Dlouhy and Rose Helwek, to work out the details for a bake sale to be held some time its June.

Sister members, you will probably be hearing from-us by and by.

My, but isn't' the countryside beautiful after all the good soaking rains?

Truly, we can say that the desert is bloSsoming like the rose" for the formerlY parched, barren, windswept pastUres are now flourishing with abundant grass, lovely Texas bluebonnets, Indian paint brush, foxglowe, primroses, hollyhocks, etc. Our own garden is a mass of vivid colors—larkspur, phlox, tiny pansies, petunits, calendulas, sweet peas, carnation, all offering their Easter best in finery! As one gazes upon all this beauty, one can indeed quote rightly from Burns: "The year's at the Spring, The Spring's at the morn, Morning's at seven, The hillside's dew-pearled; The lark's on the wing, The snail's on the thorn, God's in His Heaven, All's right with the world."

A joyous Eastertide to everyone!

Very sincerely, Rose Helweg, Reporter (Editor's Note: Thanks for your fine report; will be waiting for that picture.) ) • oTi • ( Dear Editor, At the last District 3 meeting you requested news about our young members for the Vestnik. The enclosed article appeared in The Ennis Daily on April 15th.

We are very proud of the youngsters who have been meeting at the SPJST National Hall every Wednesday night.

Going back just about a year, these young people began square dancing as a part of Lodge No. 25 youth work.

At that time Sister Mildred Trojacek, who organized the Silver Belles, called and as a result I asked Mr. Ray Rickert to instruct this group for a period of time that spring. This spring he again directed a number of square-s, the hall.

Wedneuday, April 24, 1957 Under his and Mr. Buddy Clardy'a able direction the children learned quiek:y. With the co-operation of all the mothers the square looks very attractive in their black and silver costumes.

On April 27 Ennis is staging a parade at 10 in the morning. Ennisites are celebrating their 85th anniversary.

Our SPJST will be represented in the parade with a float being prepared by the Junior Division of Lodge 25. So if you happen to have a little time come to Ennis to see this event.

Wilma Nesuda, * * Local Square Dance Group Invited to Appaer The "Silver Belles" square dance group has been invited to appear on the Bobby Peters Jamboree television show on WBAP-TV at 10:30 a.m. on May 4. The square is composed of SPJST and SOKOL members. They are: Larry Houdek, Linda Kucera, David Nesuds, Janice Skrivanek, Larry Laznovsky, Patricia Trojacek, Miles Strunc, and Barbara Doctuer. The group's directors are Ray Rickert Jr. and Buddy Clary.

(Editor's note: Many thanks for this fine contribution tro our Vestnik and hope that you, Sister Wilma, will be an asset to our ladies' column and an inspiration to our youth. Thanks again.) )'• 4. • ( AN ARTISTIC CZECH READER— "SPRING" A new illustrated Czech reader— "Spring" published at the University of Texas, is being mailed to all parts of the world where Czech people live.

Dr. Eduard Micek, Slavonic languages department chairman, wrote the book, fifth in a series published by the Czech Literary Society. It teaches youths and adults how to read Czech and has 88 pictures and 10 folk songs. Every Czech family ought to have it!

The non-profit publication of Czech readers began in 1951 after it was discovered that communists in Czechosovakia were changing the masterpieces of Czech literature, omitting certain parts and substituting their propaganda. Czechs in the U. 8. requested publication of books for adults and youths, presenting the unchanged text of the original literature. The author received much credit for the book.

Copies of "Spring" may be ordered at $1 each from Czech Literary Society, University of Texas, Austin 12.

,4-111111101.0 SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM

Dallas, April 18, 1957 Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Wednesday night, April 17, our tram was defeated by Firemen's Fund insurance by an overwhelming score of 20-12; It was just one of those nights that our whole team seemed to do everything wrong as 9 errors were committed and other bad plays were made.

We just hope we got all the bad plays -oUt of our system as we have a much bettor team than the above score indicates. This same team lost 2 practice go mes to us and one ended in a tie; guess you can't beat a good team all the time. Our team contributed heavil.,, offensively, gathering 13 hits and 6 Wft but still that wasn't enough to win.

Leading hitter for the night was Raymond Marek with 2 home runs and a single. Frank Mach and James Wortman each banged out 2 hits apiece and gettbrig single safeties were Raymond Smith; Bill Robbins, Ben Jarma, Dave Wier;, Wilbur Munger and Adolph Janocka.

Ne:J, Wednesday night we play State Farm Insurance at 8:45 p.m. and we certainly feel we will play a *much better game than we did last night and We Will spend a lot of time trying to improVe on all our mistakes.

The batteries for the game were Frank 111Lieh pitching the first 5 1-3 innings, and Jim Scoggins, who was on the ailing list, pitching the last 2-3 inning.

Wilbur Munger caught the first 3 innings and Adolph .Janecka finished up the game behind the plate by catching the last 3 innings. The team has no alibis to offer except that we were sound ly beaten. and we hope to avenge this defeat the next time we meet this team.

We had another large turnout of members and friends who really tried and did their share of rooting for the team-but all this to no avail as we lost despite all their wonderful support.

T.< -

We are sorry to have let them down, but please come back next week and attend every -game as we feel you will see a lot of good ball games before the conclusion of this season. We also were glad to see a group of ur teenagers at the game, sonic day several of them will be playing on our future teams.

So teenagers, why not make it a habit and come on out to the games every Wednesday night when possible.

I would like to mention here the busMess firms who are helping to sponsor our team and whose advertisements are listed on the backs of our softball shirts.

Adamcik's Appliance and Auto Parts 1, Art Sheet Metal and Model Works 1, Columbia Packing 2, Otto Janousek Motor Co. 1, '<Airs Upholstery 1, Marek's Auto Service 1, Mary's Beauty Shop 1, Rudolph's Market 1, John Sykora, builder and contractor 1, Ross Ave. Ignition and ServiCe 1, SPJST Supreme Lodge 2, SPJST Lodge. 84 1, Vita's Garage 1, Vita's Grocery 1; and White Reck Texaco Service Station I. Their support' S greatly appreciated by the team( and we sincerely hope all our members show their appreciation to these SWell. neas firms behind our team.

We play again next Wednesday night at Samuels Diamond No. 2, game time 8:45 p.m. and our opponent will be State Farm Insurance.

There has been another change made in or uleague: Dallas Times Herald has replaced Jones Blair Paint. They played State Farm Insurance Wednesday night and were soundly beaten.

Hoping to see you at the game next week-Fraternally yours, Bro. Ben Jarma, Mgr,, SPJST Softball Team ' •( WE ARE STILL PAYING WARTIME TAXES

During World War II, Congress levied special taxes on the passenger fares and freight charges paid to railroads and other forms of public for-hire transportation. One reason for these special taxes was to discourage the use of these transportation facilities in war time.

The war ended more than ten years ago but these taxes go on—and on. They still add an extra 10 per cent to the passenger fares you pay, and they add 3 per cent to the freight charges on everything that moves by public carriers such as railroads.

The reason for these "temporary" wartime taxes vanished long ago. But they are still . discouraging the use of our public transportation systems. And by so doing, these taxes are weakening

"THE JEWS" San Antonio, Texas Crises in the Middle East and Israel and Egypt having the spotlight in the news, one wonders about the peculiar people called Jews. Ancient history tells us that one nationality stands out conspicuous for its distinctive characteristics. The Jews are that nationality. One sect of the Jews Also has the distinction of being the first to ever practice Communism, but Oh, what a different form of Communism ' than is practiced today.

Despised and persecuted, dispersed and maligned for nearly two thousand years, they remain steadfast and part, clinging with tireless tenacity to their immemorial customs, the Hebraic blood unmixed and pure always and everywhere found, they are as distinctly "the children of Israel" as if, , intermarriage with other nations ara,absolute impossibility. With a history as specific as if it were a record of a day, they take us back to the very foundation of all existence, and show us the founder of the nation, Abraham, in his relation to the whole human family. He was an Arab Sheik and belonged to a tribe of Bedowin shepherds, which sacrificed their first born to Appease the gods of their Idolatry. Abraham, who was born about 2200 B. C. enjoined upon his descendants the substitution of a, sacrificial beast for a human being, assuring them he did so by the express command of Jehovah, whom they should worship in all singleness of devotion. The story of the rescue of Isaac by divine interposition is told with minuteness, and must have produced a profound impression.

Then, too, he took care to remove to a region far country remote from his an cestral home.

When in later time, the history of the Jews began to be written, the record was carried back to the very morning of creation, and each generation given from. Adam down, together with many details such As the sacrifice of Abel, the wickedness of the Antedilwians, the the Deluge, the Tower of Babel, and other incidents too familiar to be mentioned here, but all of which taken together tended to strengthen the hold upon the children of Abraham of the religious changes instituted and out of which the distinctive nationality of the Jews grew, by a gradual process of development. The oneness of the Deity, and Abraham's abhorrence of human sacrifices may be called the Joachim and Boas of the Hebrew Temple, the parent thoughts of the very nation it-

Contributed by Brother S. C. Bundil sel. Isaac did, not make any marked contribution to the nationality. He lacked, the vigor and personal power of his father, Abraham, and his son Jacob, or Israel, the latter saw his somewhat numerous family, with their vast flocks, comfortably quartered on the rich pastures of lower Egypt-Goshen -- while one of the cons was prime minister of that great kingdom. That must have been a proud day for the patriarch. But he was not unmindful of the great mission of fidelity to Jehovah which his grandfather inaugurated, and with his dying breath he, berouth his children to be true to the great trust of nationality bequeathed to them. His eye of faith saw his descendants winding their way back from Egypt to Canaan, there to make, of a pure theocracy. It was four hundred .years before that hope was realized. and there we have the origin of the Jews. Most interesting to the writer is the ancient history's reference to a sect of the Jews not mentioned in the Bible, and long neglected, which deserves far more attention then the other Jewish sects, such as the Pharisee.s and Sadducees. It refers to the Essenes. The brilliant D-'Quincy, had the temerity to pronounce this sect a myth, or rather, a sort of forgery, according to this historian. Quincy may have been sincere, although this is open to doubt.

However that may be, the hypothesis is simply preposterous. There are three distinct sources of imformation, namely, Pliny, Philo, and Josephus. They arc not entirely harmonious, but differ only as it would be natural for three writers to differ who had widely distant points of observation. Josephus being a Jew who resided in Jerusalem, had the best means of information; Pliny, who merely crossed the country, the least; Philo was an Alexandrian Jew. Pliny, the elder, born in Verona twenty-three years after the Christian era began, wrote in his natural history this passage: "Lying to the West of Aspeltetes, and sufficiently distant to escape its noxious exhalations, are the Essen'', a people that live apart from the whole world, and marvelous above all others throughout the earth, for they have no women among them; to sexual desire they or stirangers; money they have none; the palm trees are their only companions.

Day after day, however, their numbers are fully recruited by multitudes of

strangers which resort to them, driven thither to adopt their usages by the 'tempests of fortune, and wearied with the miseries of life, and thus it is that through thousands of ages, incredible to relate, this people enternally prolonged their existence without a single birth taking place there, so fruitful a' source of population to it is that weariness of life which is felt by others.

Philo's and Josephu's account — contined. ° 07,• • ( BE SURE TO READ THIS!

Some thr.e ago one of our sKeakers reminded us not to be ashamed of our mother tongue, and listed several reasons for knowing more than one language. He reminded: us that the Arniy seeks linguists—men that can speak more than one language. That is true,„ I know from my own experience. Be 7 cause of my background as a lawyer_ and because I could speak Czech ,(ot Cech, if you prefer), I wasemade a,spe*,, cial agent in the Army's intelligent corps. However, I do not believe a p,ere,, son should be forced to speak Czech,. he can express himself better in Eng-7, lisle Furthermore, the older people w119: speak better Czech than they do,Eng,/, lish should not be condemned if they: do try to express themselves in English. -even though it is broken. I spealcF., Czech when. I can and use it a lot trOm day to day. Yet I express myself better, in English. There are many people who, have recently come from Czechoslovakia who must learn the English language, before they can become Americani izens. We should not criticize anyone' if he wants to speak English. I don't think that we are throwing our .heritage into the wastebasket." Those Of.,U4 who know more than one, language should be proud of it, and maybe we are more valuable in a sense. But on the other hand, we are in America and let us not "pity" the person who prefers to struggle along in English PY01:1 though he can express himself bettei; in Czech. When I visited Czechoslovakia while in the Army in 1945, those wham I met applauded my being able to coalverse with them in their native tongue., So most we applaud those who, aa‘-, though being able to speak Czech bet-. tar than English, nevertheless do.: ,try to express themselves in English—no matter how broken, we still understand it,—G.J.N. ) • 40 • ( Let's all remember to Help our Rest Home for the Aged!

1.

A study made last year by 'the Federal Reserve,Board shows that 56 per cent of all Americans owe some kind of personal debt—not counting mortgage or business debts. The average amount owed is $450 a family.

Most families having such debts earn yearly incomes between $2000 and $7500 the survey is showing. More than 25 per cent of the familiesain the lower income brackets pay out as much as 20 per cent of their disposable income by purchasing various goods on installment plans.

"There's nothing wrong with installment buying, so long as the buyer knows what he's doing. Unfortunately, many workers don't know enough abort such buying. So they lose much of their money through excessive interest charges, repossession casts, and various types of shady practices.."

The dangers of being cheated are particularly great to automobile buyers, who have accounted for much of the increase in recent years in buying on credit. This is because automobile contracts are very complicated.

One way in which automobile buyers are cheated is through extra high insurance charges — charges well above standard rates. Buyers should doublecheck these charges as well as the total cost of the car, not just the monthly payments required to purchase it.

People who buy on installment plans must also pay a service charge to cover the cost of purchasing on credit. And in many states there are no laws that protect buyers against unfair interest rates. So, it's important "to read the contract and find out what part of your monthly payments are going to reduce the principal on your loan and what is going for installment charges."

I 'kept u normal weight up to this writing and never took another treatment.

Several months ago I had a severe heart attack. De. Broden was in Europe than and I had two months or, shots, but by the end of the two months I was worse' than when I began. I was hoping Dr. Broden would turn and take care of me or I would not live long. .1 bj could not work. Laying most of the time in bed. One day a friend of mine said Ed, you know your Doctor Broden is back in Hallettsville? As soon as I heard that I made a point to go to Hallettsviile. I got about four treatments and my pain in my heart left me and I get. s strong again. After ten treatments, I went to work an, ♦ at this writing I am doing the plowing as though 'I never was sick a day. I feel better than I have in years.,.

I hope every one who suffers with heart or any other sickness will believe me as I have no other desire than to help my fellowman.
