S. S. 87 Sprava Svobody Sprava svonocly je resolute Cis, 87, pied lolena senaLorem Paul Douglasem a postoupena Committee on Foreign Relations kde se -fed' neleza. NeunavnY zastance utlaeovanYch, bojovnik za lidska prave, senator za stat Illinois, opet pied loZil senatu svilj navrh Freedom Authority. Cfeelem je posilnit viru ujarmenych narodti za zeleznou oponou v jejich osvobozeni a urychliti vYvoj v tomto sineru, cestou rnirovou, bez valky.

Senator Paul Douglas povaZu j e nynejclobu za nesmirne vaZnou. Udelosti v Polsku a Mad'arsku nom jasne ukazuji, ze lid Wail po svobode. Nam se naskytla neivetSi prilaitost za poslednicla deset let, jak prispet zotroCenYm ndrodfon jejich osvobozeni.

"Nevi nejmeriM pochybnosti", pravil senator Douglas, Se komunismus pone buje oddechu, easu si odpoeinout a na brat say. ;le tomu nekolib dui, co sam Mikoyan reki ve Vidni, Sc komuniste maji svYch problenati ve sve nisi na tri generate , "Vy a ja. vime, Se to jsou peoblemy s lidmi, problemy pciicejniho statu vladnouciho bratalni silou."

Nyni se naskytla doba, kdy musime vyvinout vetsi einnost, dokud nebude odstraneno nebo zneSkodneno komunisticke nebezpeei ohrolujici svobodu -cr" eeh lidi. Kdybychom ted' ustali a dali kominis-turn to, co tak nalehave potrebuji --oddech — znamenalo by to odloZit nadeji miliond touZicich po svobode a zvysit nebezped valby. NeodstrOlime-li tutu nebezped, bode americkY lid nadale tit velke dane. Dnes 60 centd z kaZdeho dolaru od poplatnika je venovano v to Si one forme no, ndeodni obranu.

Ted' nesmime ustat. Proto navrhuji ye sve resoluci, aby byla zrizene Sprdva Svobody, zodpoved.na prim presidentu SpojenVeh Static. Sprava by mela hlavniho adminiAratora a d6.1e, pro 'kaZdou ujarmenou zem za Zelezned oponou pc) jednom administratorovi, celkem jedemiet. Byli by: to AmeriCane rodem, pdvodu to zeme, pro kterou by pracovali krajan e'eskoslovenskeho pUvodu pro aes koslovensko ,atd.)

mnohem intensivneji neZ tomu bylo aZ dosud. Meli by za Ukol uverejnovat easove zpravy, jak ze svobodneho sveta, tab o udalostech za Zeleznou oponou; postarat se o mobilni kratkovhie vysila6ky, aby komuniste nemohli ruS'it Poslech; vysilat lidove programy a pkiponnat, jim jejich historicke, narodni teadice a duchovni hodnoty; podavat jim zpravy o svcbode kultury v nekomunistickem svet(A; podporovat pasivr4 resistenci lidu zvla,,qe y e vYrobe k dosaZeni koneeneho osvobozeni; vydavat spicy -unrchlikfi it oZiveni natodni kultury tvdreieh schopnsoti, potlaeovanYch komunistickYmi relimy.

Nazor sendtora Douglase o kulturni vY mane zddraznuje: "Ti, kteri se sdeastni vYmeny se zemerni za Zeleznou oponou by men bYt pripraveni na s ydj fikol, aby mohlo pozorovat a lepe posoudit pomeey v techto zemich i ye svobodnem sve te.

Nema tudiZ jeho testa Zadnou cenu, prave naopak. Poz. red.)

Senator opakuje, ze je rozhodne proti to mu, aby Sprava. Svobody podnecovala ke vzpoure. Zavdalo by to Moskve prieinu ih ned vzpouru potla.eit. "Sprava Svobody musi usilovat o mysl a du'Si lidu, ani2 by je vyprovokovala k otevrene vzpoure . — Sprava Svobody by uvedla sky za svobodu do ofensivy a komunisty do defensivy, a to je velmi dilelZite.

Are You An Important Asset To Your Fraternity?

Every fraternal benefit society is proud of its financial statement. — The fraternal benefit societies have some other "assets," however, that are not rdwaws taken into consideration but that are so important that they should never be overlooked.

There is an asset that surpasses any other and that is the spirit of ownership that comes with the fraternal organization. Every person who becomes a part owner of it with just as large a a member of a fraternal society becomes share as the highest officer or the oldest member. Every member has the same right of expression and the value of his or her vote. He can oppose any action that might be proposed and he can go to the very top of the Society With a protest, with complete right to be heard.

To this asset there -might also be added that greater thing which we call fraternalism and which manifests itself in the desire of every member to do what is best for the entire group without regard to his or her own interests or desires. This is really the heart of the fraternal system and that it is a real and moving force is best seen in the many services which, the fraternal society renders outside of its actual contract.

When you read of the members of a society plowing and seeding the fields of an unfortunate member; when you read of the members rebuilding a home that has been destroyed by fire; when you hear of any of the many human services that are rendered by a fraternal group, you are hearing of the greatest asset that the society has — the asset of love for fellow man. Of course, the afflicted brother could have insurance to pay for illness or fire or any other misfortune but he could never have enough; but the small payment of money the fraternal society has given him is an assurance that surpasses anything that he could buy and it comes to him because his brothers know that he would do as much for any of them under like conditions, ) • 49 • (

Strana 18 OUR ORGANIZERS CORRECT ATTITUDE As long as worry, fretting at people, little disappointments, gloomy thoughts crowd our minds, there is no room for courage, cheerfulness, self-confidence and the goad thoughts that will help us win. We cannot use the power and the personality that is in us as long , as we block the door with a sour mental attitude.

If we can't be enthusiastic about our job and about life insurance, we can't expect to motivate ours prospects. Discouragement pays no dividends. These are critical days in which we live, and there is no room for discouraging influences of the wrong mental attitude.

If we are talking courage, optimism plan of life to our prospects, we must posses these things ourselves. The right mental attiade gives a man coura:e to do the day's work, but iif courage is gone, all goes with it.

The man who will outline the things that would make him and his family happy, who will build a program to secure these things, will have the kind of mental attitude that will carry him Co success.

REPOR1 j FR LODGE SAN ANTONIO NO. 133 Sisters and Brothers: Sunday, June 9, was a fine Sunday to hold our lodge meeting, no excuses on account of bad weather. It was gratifying to see some of our Sfr, all fry among us. In the absence of our chairman, Brother Chas. Cerny, our vice president, Alfred Kalmus took over the meeting, during which Brother Kleprlik announced two new applications for membership. The investigating committee ,agreed to accept them as members.

They are. Chas. D. Saza ysky and Stella Edith. Mares.

Outside of a discussion regarding the San, Antonio Czech Orchestra the rest was mostly routine. Games followed the meeting and shall continue after the next meeting ,July 14. Brother chairman, pro tern. was the lucky winner of the attendance prize, a nice reward for being present. The meeting could have been better attended, but some of our mearbers hied to greener pastures, and others simply didn't come. Yet the attendance could have been worse. Let's make -the July meet most interesting by crowding the hall for, avia grapevine we hear brother chairman will have a wonderful vocalist on the program.

dishes.

As a girl I remember watching my mother making noodles, before the "store bought" could be had. When mother made noodles we had them drying on every flat surface in our house.

She made enough to store in containers for future meals, cutting some into flakes, h inch square, strips and then the very fine -vermicelli type for soup.

Into the impression made in a mound of white flour, she broke an egg to which she added very little water and With her hands worked the flour into the egg mixture until all the dough was used up ands the dough was stiff. Then on a, floured roiling ooard, she rolled out sheets of dough "as delicate as tafk fetta and thin enough to read a papet through lit"' is :ter winch the 4,:iheas were laid out on towels to dry oi4's:light-, ly. Then they taken up and cut into widths usually 4-5 inches long and the strips stacked on one another un,Gil about 3/4 inch high when she began to cutting the strips 1,4 inches wide and fluffing them loose to dry out further.

For the vermicelli her knife would cut very fine ((toothpick thickness) noodles to be used in soups which were very popular in our house. Whet thoroughly dry the noodles were stored for future meals.

Noodles with ground left over halm, meats of other kind, baked to crunchy goodness, clotted with butter how we loved it. Baked with cheese, beaten eggs or just boiled in salt water and served piping hot with melted butter and sugar or a sugar-cinnamon mixture. What 4 versatile food — the noodle. ,"311-1e C4ecila families used ground poppy seed and sugar mixture on the lipt noodles. This is an excellent meat substitute.

May I thank Mrs. Rose Helweg for the excellent recipe she sent me ,fox the cottage cheese cinquette. Cottage cheese is a comrmxiity that is plentiful on every farm and. this is an €:',;ellent way of preparing it into an appetizing and nourishing dish. Yes, I'm going to try it on the Ed.

Some of our Lodges are planning Rest Home Projects — and I do believe that if 'Some of our sisters on farms would put up some of those (??wonderous??) home made pickles , that are so sought after at our gatherings, or chow-chow, Corn, beans that the sisters who have to buy these items in the city super markets would be delighted to purchase them at these benefits. I purchased some Chow-chow from the Women's Auxiliary to the Medical Association, a pint for which I paid 45 cents but it is excellent and I never regretted that 45 cents. Now that flowers are no longer available for transplanting — why not jars of home canned foodstuffs? What no yoll think?

Here's wishing, you and yours good health, and keep cool.

Fraternally yours, The Editor's wife ) 8o o _ ALL ABOUT GIRLS

by DR. STEPH. WITHEY. (University Research Center). , .Week-end dates are not all that teenagers think about, according to Dr. Withey. The girls are making plans for the future, too. Almost all of them plan to finish high school, work for an indefinite time, and marry.

Girls have a high regard for education, Dr. Withey states.. A third of the girls want to go to college, and more than half want more .than a high school education for them-selves—and for their future husbands,.

In fact, Dr. Withey discovered even if a girl does not want to go to college herself, she wants her husband to have a college education. Six out of ten expect their husbands to hold white collar or professional jobs.

The average American teen-age girl is likely to daydream about meeting her future husband on a college campus or whereever she may work. Ninety-four per cent of the girls expect to marry "oniecta,Y;" and only one in ten is thinking ,about la career.

However, almost all girls e xpect to work before they marry, and the kinds of jobs which require feminine charac- teristics — helpfulness and service to others — are most popular. Secretary, nurse, teacher, and social worker are the most frequently chosen occupations, Dr. Withey reports.

Girls not only plan to work after they finish school; most teen-agers work at the, present time. Nearly 60 per cent hold jobs outside their homes, and 20 per cent earn money for home chores.

Baby sitting is the most common type of work for girls from the age of 12 on,

7,nay. ,,Tuly 10, 19,.;•I Of the girls over 10, a sizeable group have jobs in offices and stores.

Half of the girls interviewed reported they were curently getting an allowance, and among these more than 50 per cent said they received from their parents between $1 and $5 a week as spending money.

Finally, according to Dr. Withey's statistics girls are less influenced by glamorous movie or TV stars, than has been assumed. Eight out of ten want to grew up to be like 'their mothers, other female relatives, or teachers. Only two per cent dream of becoming a movie star or TV personality. ) • eTo ( Here's a paradox — To clean your walls from "top to bottom", start at the bOttom and work upward.

Rest Florae Regulations Specific rules and regulations and some basic principles essential to operate Rest Home for the aged.

Division of Hospital U. S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE Austin, Texas (Excerpts) (Furnished us through Brother 0. Stehlik) Site Selection and Planning Selection of a site in suitable surroundings is the first, and a most important, step in the provision of planning a building. Location of the nursing nnrne in an urban, or suburban, area will usually make visiting convenient for relatives and friends of patients and by placing the patients where they are able to enter into local activities, can help them to feel that they are an important part of the community Itself. Reliable transportation is more readily available to churches, libraries, hompitals, shops and recreational facilities and, in convenience to the home's permanent and visiting staff, availability of utilities and services and ease of delivery, the advantages of such , a location are obvious.

The site should not be exposed to excessive noise, dirt, odors, smoke, traffic disturbance, insect breeding areas and the like. Adjacent fire hazards should be 'avoided. The usual factors of orientation such as sun, wind, view and site usage are important consIderations.

However, most patients would like to be able to view some of the ordinary day-to-day activities of the community.

This should,be given consideration when selecting the site.

The size of the site will vary with individual institutions and careful study should be given to size and type of building, number and types of patients, extent of services to be provided and possible future expansion before final selection is made. Since visits by friends and relatives are so important to patients and are felt to be a necessary part of their treatment programs, the site should be large enough to provide areple parking area for visitors, as well as staff.

In other types of hospital facilities, where terraces for patients' rest and recreation are provided, they are generally required to be in quiet, seclUded places. However, in nursing homes, locations near busy areas such as main entrances or facing the street traffic might be good for patients who like to watch the traffic and see wha comes to visit the home.

Adkninistrative Area , -- Lobby

The public lobby need not be very spacious because' traffic will be minimal. Some waiting space should be providad in or off the lobby.

Offices Office space must be provided for administration, medical records, general business, admitting, social service, medical and other consultation. Preferably offices should open off the lobby and waiting area.

It is felt that at least an administrator's office and a general business office would be required, With a multipurpose consultation room highly desirable, in even a minimal institution.

Toilets and Telephone Public toilet facilities and a telephone, for both visitors and patients, should be provided near the lobby.

Ancillary Facilities Social contact and recreation are so much a part of making people feel emotionally secure and at home that facilities for those activities should be particularly wel planned and should become the social and recreational hub of the nursing home.

Rrecreation The recreation room should be as centrally located as p possible with respect to the patients' bedrooMs. Location near the lobby would be convenient for those patients who would enjoy viewing the activities in and around the main entrance and lobby. It would also be convenient for visitors and in many cases for supervision of the Nurses' Statien. The recreation room should be ample in scale, well lighted and decorated, and arranged to serve the recreational and occupational needs of the various patients. It should look out on scenes of interest and activity and, if possible, should! have direct controlled access to outdoor recreational areas.

More than one Recreation Room may be provided but it is felt that generally the need for supervision and the pleasing effect of generous space makes one room preferable.

or afternoon tea to enhance the homelike atmosphere. If it is adjacent to the recreation room and separated by folding partitions, it can also be used for large group meetings such as chapel service, movies, or speakers.

A staff dining room, even if it seats only 3 or 4 in a small nursing home, is desirable. Staff members because they are in constant contact with their patients in a nursing' home will benefit by having a quiet place to eat their meals. The staff will no doubt eat in shifts; therefore, the seating capacity need only be about one-fourth or oneh'alf of the total staff.

Patients in nursing homes will wear their own clothing and will hive personal items of clothing which' they will not wish to send to a comMercial laundry. The provision of laundry facilities for the use of patients, particularly women, will be an important part in the program of helping the patients feel useful and at home. Laundering also might well be a part of the activities of daily living which are taught to some patients. Minimum equipment would consist of a laundry tub, iron and ironing board. A drying area is desirable.

If it is the policy of the nursing home to launder certain; items of patients' clothing such as shirts, dresses and underwear, facilities for this type of service could very well be included in the patient's laundry. In such cases, the minimum\ equipment would be increased to include domestic type, heavy duty washers, dryers , hollers, presses and sewing machines as required.

It is the general feeling that patients' bedrooms should contain no mere than two beds. Cbareful pr;ogihroning will determine individual home needs for an oceasional bedroom for four. No ideal ratio of one-bed and two-bedrooms has been est ablihed. Two-bedrooms are adequate for the needs of most patients.

However, one-bed, rooms are needed for medical isolation and for personality problems. At least two single bedrooms should be provided in each'nursing The ratio for individuals projects will be determined by such factors as 'types of patients to be accommodated,. local demond for private rooms based on the economic status of the community' and the need for flexibility.

Dining it is recommended that the dining space for patients be located adjacent to the recreation room and separated by a folding partition. Dining space , should be provided at the rate of 25 square feet per bed for 75c f0 of the total number of beds. The nursina: lioaoe In small nursing homes of one or two program should reflect its t i,de toward the use of the cliaio e e-ca.

SALUTE TO HAL T ETTSVILLE Founded in 1837 by Mrs. Margaret Hallett and named for her, Hallettsville today is a town of three thousand population and the county seat of Lavaca County of 22,000 people.

Some Czech settlers were here already in 1852 when Hallettsville became the county seat. But their names are unknown. Four years later several Czech families came Jan Satsky, Joseph Kahanek and three Wencesia ys — Matula, Kubos and Michna, also John Moris, Joseph Kutac, F. Kanak and J. Miatusek, Frank Bosak and Joseph Stastny. But the real immigration of Czech people to this county followed till after the Civil War. Today a half of the Lavaca Co. people are of that origin.

This is evident also in the court house: County Judge Gus Strauss, County Attorney Leon Pesek, County

Clerk Charless Strauss, county Attorney Jul. Holubec, County Treasurer Jul. Mikulenka, County Surveyor F. W.

The Rev. Fulgence Gross, of Omaha, told the Senate internal subcommittee in testimony made public Saturday about mental and physical "atrocities'. he endured as a prisoner of the Chinese Reds from March 29, 1951 to March 28, 1957.

Attempts were made, he said, to get him to renounce his country and his faith, admit to being an FBI agent posing as a missionary, and to spy against his own people.

The 53-year-old Nebraskan, whose missionary headquarters is in Chicago, testified that in. these efforts the Red• :inflicted some !physical tortuves too "unspeakable" to mention.

He told, however, of how his jailers got "bloody andtired while trying to wring his ears off, how they kept him manacled for a .month, and inflicted other "humiliating" atrocities against him.

Nevertheless, he said, "What was worse was the mental torture, the constant interrogations and trials. . . which lasted six or seven hours, often throu gh the night, and not one time, but often."

He told the subcommittee: "Those who too readily condemn our American soldiers who found their way into Communist prisons and made confessions, who even might have revealed secrets to them, should themselves pass just one month in a Communist prison and court."

Suffered From Fallen Stomach I, too, wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Albert II. Broden of Hallettsville for all he has done or me. My age is 67. I came all the way here from Denver, Colorado, and I am happy I came. At my age I was rather dubious about getting well because I was doctoring my ailments since 1922. At first a number of Doctors told me I had appendicitis; later I went to one and he told me that I have a prolapsed stomach and not appendicitis, later I found out he was right because my uterus was down too. I had terrific pains in my back and groins, constipated and heart trouble.

I cannot enumerate the doctors I went to, but all they had for me was a belt that dealt me more misery than when I did not have one on. Doctor Broden examined me and without X-ray just his finger touch in less than five minutes he told me what was wrong and in another half our I was back to health again. It is nothing less than a miracle to be delivered in such a manner. My organs are now in place and I feel like new born. I feel that Hallettsville should be congratulated for having a wonderful Doctor like Dr. Broden.
