"Much has been done to correct much that is not right in the insurance situaMon in Texas. All was not well in Texas insurance, but that does not mean there was not also a lot of good in Texas insurance. The insurance commission has been reorganized completely so there is now one commissioner and not three. The board has been unified so it won't go off in three directions at once, to fire, life and casualty insurance all at the same time."

"I think the fraternal groups must feel intense pride. None of these scandals have even touched the skirts of the fraternals. It is a tribute to the officials and to the members of the fraternals," "The fraternals have more friends in the legislature than any single group.

Freshmen legislators are always told to vote against sin and to vote for mothers and fraternal orders, both of whom do a wonderful job," Secrest reported.

Secrest told the fraternalists, however, they must continue their efforts to keep the fraternal order in a favorable light. ) • ire • ( BROTHERS SKRABANEK AND VRLA: All the pictures from our Elm Mott "Victory Banquet" will be in the next issue of our Vestnik.

District I Selects Novy Tabor For 1958 Meet The SPJST District I Meeting was held at Dime Box, Texas, Sunday, November 3, 1957.

It was pouring when the editor and wife left West to cover this last District meeting of the year, and it rained almost to Cameron with only intermittent showers form there on. The sky remained overcast all day.

The countryside was putting on a style show for the tourists for thetrees that covered the hilly country was a riot of colors. It was a sight to behold. We stopped at a series of well constructed roadside stands where farmers were selling the farm products of that area.

Golden yarns, red potatoes, peanuts, yellow squash, green peppers, pecans, snowwhite onions and orange pumpkins and green and white stripped calabashes. The editor's wife couldn't pass it up —she had to have some yams, so yams it was.

The town of Dime Box is full of Czech names on its buildings. The Vavras seem to be predominent. It is a nice little town with a big trade area. The farms in the immediate area speak of good farm management which indicates a good living.

We arrived at the spacious country Hall just a stone's throw out of Dime Box to meet the local members already gathering for the meeting. The good sisters, as everywhere, with only a nod were inirrying in with burdened arms of containers for the free lunch which they served after the meeting during the social hour.

Sometime after one o'clock the local lodge president, Brother Ed. Krenek, called the meeting to order and welcomed the gathering to Dime Box. He then turned the gavel over to Brother Melvin Skrabanek of Caldwell, President of District I for the remainder of the meeting.

We sang "America" to open the meeting to the accompaniment of Miss Joyce Urbanovsky at the piano.

The Youth Program was next. It was short and very nice.

The Star Spangled Banner was sung

by Miss Betty Joe Blaha, whose lovely lyric soprano voice inspired us all to stand just a little more erect with pride.

Next was a piano solo, "Falling Leaves" rendered by Miss Urbanovsky, followed by a chorus singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" sung by Mesdames Wm. Urbanav,sky, Olga Kubena Nimitz; Miss Betty Jo Blaha, 'MisS Patsy Kubena; Messrs. Ed. Balcar and Eugene Horak.

Miss Urbanovsky at the piano.

The rendition "Beautiful Dreamer" by Miss Blaha was wonderful.

Brother Eugene Horak then gave us a harmonica solo of our beloved polka dance Czech songs which were well received. Brings to point that good music comes from the musician and not the instrument.

While the group from Industry were catching their breath, for they just then walked in, the District Secretary Regmund called the roll of Lodges which revealed that while zany of the lodges were not represented, District I did have 10 of its organizers present. If you know Texas, you know that when it rains traveling is sometimes impossible, therefore, the attendance goes down. Together with the flu that is now raging, it is especially bad.

next District I meeting came up, Brother Srubar of Novy Tabor then invited the District to hold the meeting in his ledge and the assembly immediately designated the time so that the District Meetings of our seven Districts would not conflict with each other when possible. They set the fourth Sunday in' March, 1958 at new Tabor, as their meeting date upon a motion which was carried and appreciation was immediately expressed for their brotherly invitation.

It Was brought before the meeting that their good Brother 'Kubena was ill in the Gidney lIwpital and the wheleassembly wished him a speedy lecovery: A minute's silent prayer was then dedei cated to our recently departed member-, ship in that Dkstrict.

fully about it before them, we cannot expect them to join us, for we are in fact talking about ourselves and our management in our own investment.

Regarding the Rest Home, Brother Navratil stated that the Building Fund still lacks some $12,000 to pay off the contractor. That the furnishing of the kitchen, dining area as well as the recreation area was still lacking funds and he asked in the spirit of Christian Charity that we contribute to this noble cause to poy off this honest obligation. He advised that this project was a "big headache" for those officers who nudertook the responsibility to see the project through to a finish but that when it shall be completed, it will be one of the most beautiful humanitarian monuments to the Texas Czechs and:their kin. To date 40 applications have been received for adnfission which are in the Process of investigation for eligibility.

Your editor Hosek complimented the Meeting, its program and stated that he always learns something new from there. He bid the Lodge Reporters to write to the Vestnik about their lodge activities so that all of the other Texas lodges can get strength, encouragement and inspiration from the function ing of the sister lodges. He pointed out that little differences arise in the best of families for it is human to err, but that he is doing everything possible to foster unity, harmony, understanding and brotherly love among the brotherhood, for this way has proven itself to be the only way to the growth of our fraternal order.

The tantalizing aroma of fresh coffee permeated the Hall, so with "Hej Slovane," we adjourned until March, 1958.

The Social Hour followed. The food was delicious. It was wonderful to chat with the Bryan group, the Vytopils, Patronellas and their charming teen-age granddaughter, the RegmuncLs and Kreneks, to meet Mrs. Toupal, and Mrs. Mikeska (these two ladies were known to the editor's wife only by letter) the Kubenas, in fact, all of them, to again meet with those whom we last saw at our last Convention.

Like Brother Barina said, "It's not the quantity but the quality that makes the lodge. A handful of true and faithful brothers and sisters can do more for the growth of a lodge than a Hall full of complacent membership.

Our sincerest thanks to Dime Box Lodge for the invitation and hospitality and our best wishes for their continued growth to the joy of the membership— the young as well as the old.

For Your Kind Attention Brother Hugo Shercak is his recent letter published in the Czech section wrote that it was not his intention to hurt anyone's feelings and if he unintentionally did, he asked to be forgiven.

It was his aim to remind the officials of the Rest Home that it was about time to publish an accounting of all the Funds collected and expended for our Rest Home, so that our interested public would be well informed just how we stand, how much more money we need to accomplish the goal we set out to reach.

Brother Shefcak in his letter paid his compliments to the Directors of the Rest Home for the task so far accomplished and he thought, that by having a financial statement of the conditions published now, we could all see and learn just how much funds we would need.

We are of the opinion that this request was well meant and hope you all consider same in that spirit.

Let's have a financial statement and then let's all work in harmony.

JO ANN HUBENAK —I • 4, • Ennis, Texas To all ftin loving boys and girls: As many of you know, we have started a small group of teenagers, and preteens, on a once a month meeting and party get-together, at the National Hall here in Ennis. Of course you do not have to be a member of the SPJST. But we would appreciate seeing more of cur SPJST children at these functions. And I urge all of our members to see to it that their children and grandchildren come out and have a goud time in a warm and friendly relationship with each other.

As time goes by, there will be more constructive work planned, so that there will be a purpose behind these monthly get-togethers, We will have a Christmas program that will be a little different. So plan now on taking an active part to make this program a success. And it goes without saying, that your parents will be very proud of you too.

Our next scheduled program. , of entertainment is a Barn Dance and party for Saturday nite, November, 16th. You can wear your jeans and plaid shirts, Square dance dresses or any other cotton. dress.

Old straw hats and bonnets will be in high fashion for the nite. The atmosphere will be 'Old Fashioned Country'.

So bring your friends, mother and dad, and anyone else that you think would enjoy a Barn Dance.

The Wooden Maiden The story of Betushka and the Golden Birch Leaves — Old Czech. Fairy Tale Betushka was a little girl. Her mother was a poor widow with nothing but a tumbled-down cottage and two little nanny goats. But poor as they were, Betushka was always cheerful. From spring till autumn she pastured the goats in the birch wood. Every morning when she left home her mother gave her a little basket with a slice of bread and a spindle.

"See that you bring home a full spindle," her mother always said.

Betushka had no distaff, so she wound the flax 'around her head. Then she took the little basket and went romping and singing behind the goats to the birch woad, When they got there she sat down under a tree and pulled the fiber of the flax from her head and with her left hand, and with her right hand let down the spindle so that it went humming along the ground. All the while she sang until the woods echoed and the little goats nibbled away at the leaves and grass.

When the sun showed midday, she put the spindle aside, calling the goats and gave them a mouthful of bread so that they wouldn't stray, and run off into the woods to hunt berries or any other wild fruit that was in season. Then when she had finished her bread and fruit, she jumped up, folded her arms, and danced and sang.

The sun smiled at her through the green of the trees and the little goats resting on the grass, thought: "What a merry little shepherdess we have!"

After her dance she went back to her spinning and worked industriously. In the evening when she got home her mother never had to scold her because the spindle was empty.

One day at noon just after she had eaten and, as usual, 'was going to dance, there suddenly stood before her a most beautiful maiden. She was dressed in white gauze that was fine as a spider's web. Long golden hair fell down to her waist and on her head she wore a wreath of woodland flowers.

Betushka was speechless with surprise and alarm. The maiden smiled at her and said in a sweet voice: "Betushka do you like to dance?" Her manner was so gracious that Betushka no longer felt afraid and answered: "Oh, I could dance all day long!"

"Come, then, let us dance together," said the maiden. "I'll teach you."

With that she tucked up her skirt, put her arm around Betushka's waist

Vt ST NiK — WEST, TEXAS

and they began to dance. At once such enchanting music sounded over their heads that Betushka's heart went onetwo with the dancing. The musicians sat on the branches of the birch trees.

They were clad in little frock coats, black and gray and many-colored. It was a carefully chosen orchestra that had gathered at the bidding of the beautiful maiden, larks, nightingales, finches linnets, thrushes, blackbirds, and showy mocking bird's.

Betushka's cheeks burned, her eyes shone. She forgot her spinning, she forgot her goats. All she could do was gaze at her partner who was moving with such grace and lightness that the grass didn't seem to bend under her silent feet.

They danced from noon till sundown and yet Betushka was not the least bit tired. Then they stopped dancing, the music ceased, and the maiden disappeared suddenly as she had come.

Betushka looked around. The sun was sinking behind the . woods. She put her hands to the unspun flax on her head and remembered the spindle that was lying unfilled: on the grass. She took down the flax and laid it with the spindle in the little basket. Then she called the goats and. started home.

She reproached herself bitterly that she had allowed the beautiful maiden to beguile her and she told herself that another time she would not listen to her. She was so quiet that the little goats missed her merry song and looked to see whether it was really their own little shepherdess who was following them.

Her mother, too, wondered why she did not sing and questioned her.

Dear Brothers, Sisters and Readers: The softball team has another score to report and of which we are all very proud. Let's start at the beginning of this game, the J. Daryl Grieser's were told some 4 years ago they couldn't have any children, so they made arrangements and adopted a little girl.

Then a year or so later, as it often happens, they found out the doctors were wrong and they were blessed with news of their expecting the birth of a child, and it was a little boy, who now is 1 year old. To further prove the doctors were wrong, they found out they were again to have another addition to the family, but some three weeks before the arrival, they had news that it might be not one, but three additions. Well, Friday, October 25th, a set of tripplets were born at Baylor Hospital and the proud parents were none other than Mr. and Mrs. J. Daryl Griser. Daryl is a meirober.of our lodge and has been one of the stars on our softball team the past 4 years. The tripplets, all girls, arrived 3 minutes apart shortly after 3 a. m. Friday Morning, October 25th and the mother, the three daughters and father are all doing well, our last report.

The Griser triplets delivered by Caesarian section weighed a whopping total of 13 lbs, 2 ounces or separately 4 pounds, 1 ounce, 4 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces and 4 pounds and 91/2 ounces. According to a Dallas Morning News Reporter, when calling Daryl, said ::We've known for about two weeks, that we were going to have three of 'em" he said. "So I guess we are about as prepared as we could be and very proud."

Their house at 2850 Peany Rd. has two bedrooms and a den, but Mr. Griser said the den would become another bedroom "pretty fast" for the 3 new girls."

He said neither he nor his wife has a family record of twins or triplets." I am pretty excited about this and I guess I should pass out one cigar for every baby, but I think I'll just take one ci-

MY TRIP ABROAD

BY NAOMI KOASTOM

(Continued) PART V The gondola is a canoe-looking contrivance which accommodates not more than six people comfortably. It has very artistic lines that remind you of a very graceful swan. The gondolier is the captain and as far as I know, has very little trouble with his passengers -- they don't even enjoy back-seat driving — for once! He is gracefully perched in his place as he very masterfully winds his "ship" through lanes so narrow and traffic so heavy in some places that the uneasy tourist begins to miss the comforts of his "convertible" which at this moment realizes he was a pretty dum bunny to leave such a thing as a car at home. At the rate he swings his oar, the 22 minutes it takes to reach the hotel of your choise seem endless until you learn to relax and enjoy the excursion!

But what a hotel! A garden on the water. Our quarters in this hotel compared to that of our accommodations in Rome. In other words, it could not compare to the comforts of our rooms in Prague nor the elegance of the furnishings in the Bristol in Vienna, nevertheless, there was a charm about the establishment in which we completely relaxed. Your meals are served in the garden facing Frand Canal which by day gar and cut it in three pieces instead.

(Daryl, I'm waiting for /ta r cigar's, plural.)

Incidentally, the three girls were named Debora Kay, Diane Marie and Donna Sue. and all were identical. The mother and father are anxiously awaiting the day they can bring them home from the hospital. Boy oh boy, how are they going to be able to tell them apart, three and all identical, but what a wonderful problem, I'm sure they don't mind.

Our sincerest congratulation to you Joanna and Daryl and may your years be blessed with your wonderful family of Daryla Jo, David and the three D's, Debora, Diane and Donna. Well the team won't benefit from a players standpoint, but the cheering section has really been reinforced. We hope to have a picture of tre triplets, if at all possible.

is attractive for the traffic and distant scenery; by night for its romantic atmosphere.

The tour through this unique and roa mantic city was made by foot and included the Palace, House of Justice, St. Mark's Church and The Square and several shops.

The shopping and amusement area of this city is not too large however, most any part of it may be reached on foot because dozens and dozens of bridges span the canals in every part of the city. Instead of living on streets:1)r avenues, people are said to live on such., and such a. Canal, and each canal ' is named and numbered.

Here prices were exorbitant. It even, seemed that somebody was always expecting a tip of some sort for reason — we never did, figure this out,: however ,the natives betrayed the , fact that tourists seem to stay only two or three days---they used totemain abont, a week or ten days. That is easy to figure out!

Incidentally, the means of exam,' hge, in Italy was nothing short of a, head-, ache. To cash or convert a 820.0,0 Am., Exp. check for Italian Lira was like kL'. iing for the Bank o! Italy. To this Si).. ple request the hotel clerk told ,rify brother, "Sorry, sir, we do not have that it money now." We were notified later when the exchange value of 12,500 lira could be drawn.

But what is there to do? May as well enjoy yourself because after you leave Italy you learn your arithmatic all over; again.

In this case, it was the franc of Switzerland — an exchange of 4.60 per $1.90;' that is after we arrived in Lucerne; following a day spent in Milan, Italy'.

Our trip by rail continued from hoori to 10 p. mi. when we arrived in Lucerne, Switz. Again the American EXpreSS was represented by a friendly yet unostentatious young man. Assisting with our baggage — and his ready smile — he informed us that Aunt Matilda was waiting for us. (Again our train was late.) "Aunt Matilda," my sister chirped, "that's right, we are staYinto, at the Swizerhof Hotel." And her el-i• thusiasm mounted as we found ourSelvei standing on the curb' ready to be prei.; ented.

This is the boy that dad was going to adopt in 1948, but due to some difficulties it wasn't possible. Tonik is still hoping that some day he will get to come to America and get to live in the land of freedom. At present the boy lives on a farm, milking cows, delivering milk, and helps with the farm work. As soon as school opens this fall, he will continue his studies as this is his first year in high school. He told me that he will study the German and English languages for his later use. As long as there is hope, there will be a way for this youth to come to Canada and than to U. S. A. We arrived at Marianske Lazne in mid morning. All of us were given a room, as we were going to spend the night here. Lunch was served in one of the spacious dining rooms and than we all got ready to walk and see the lazne (Bath houses).

Marianske Lazne is a pearl in the string of Czechoslovakia's spa towns, a unique spot combining the advantages of a city with the peaceful, quiet charm and grandeur of mountain scenery. It is situated at the most southern tip of the great west Bohemian spa region, forming a triangle, leaning towards the we-tern part of Bohemia marked by the famous names of Carsbad, Franzensbad and Marienbad. For two centuries visitve been corning here from all ors have parts of the world, seeking and finding at the mineral springs their lost health.

Marienbad (Marianske Lazne) is one of the most beautiful towns of Czechoslovakia and of all Europe. It was built with the intention to surround the spa visitor with joyful gardens, blossoming parks, beautiful and magnificent buildings.

Karlovy vary is the name of one of the most efficacious and popular spas in the world, a name which an increasing number of people pronounce with respect and gratitude. guests come to Karlovy vary from all over the world with the hope of being cured and they leave satisfied with their treatment.

There are some forty mineral springs in and around Marienbad. World fa111• DUS is the Cross Spring, Ferdinand Spring of the sulphur-saline-alkaline muria tic group, further the alkaline mineral water of the Rudolph Spring, the iron containing amibros mineral water with a high content of bivolent iron. All mineral springs in Marienbad have a high content of fue carbon dioxide.

The spa has been famous for centuries and visited by distinguished guest.

The story goes that the Bohemian King and Emperor, Charles IV discovered its hot springs by chance when he set out on a hunting expedition from his Castle at Loket and his dog scorched it,self in the hot water while trackin; down a deer. While the truth of this story cannot be confirmed that Charles IV was familiar with the springs, understood their inportance, and founded there the city which Is named, after him, Karlovy vary. By degrees the .spa grew, the greatest development taking

nearby monastery at Tepla. It wad not until the year 1808 when the Tepla monastery built the first pavilion at the so called "Cross Spring". The hamlet of Marienbad was established in 1812.

The first patients to be treated in Marienbad were wounded soldiers from the last Napoleonic battles. The Empire style became the characteristic architecture of the spa buildings and of the Colonade.s.

The spa of Marienbad was a fashionable place before and after the World War I, where kings, maharajahs, millionaires, famous actors, politician's, singers and beautiful ladies from tYfe whole world sought 'cures and. entertaimrent.

Now Marienbad is open to everybody who seeks medical aid, recreation or the beauty of nature.

Marienbad is a place of beauty. We walked through the parks and saw where the official spa orchestra plays in the Colonade. Also several drank the water from the springs (I don't care for it, just as several others didn't) and seemed to like it very well. A grouP of us decided to walk through the town and enjoyed it very much.

July 6. — We all had breakfast at $ o'clock and were than all getting, ready to go to Karlovy Vary. On our way to our destination, we traveled through a beautiful countryside. Now we entered the mountainous country and beauty was seen on everyside. The road was very crooked and dangerous. The bus groaned as it made steep hills and curves.

Strana 28 place in the 18th and 19th centuries when the numerous buildings which give the city its racoco and Empire Character was built. Rococo, in art and architecture, a development of style in architecture and decorations, rising from baroque, originating in France in the reign of Louis XV (1715); based on shell motif, with scrolls and branches with flowers and leaves.

Thee reputation which Karlovy vary enjoys through-out the world is based on its eternally hot, irerplaceable healing hydrochloric alkaline, saline springs, the most abundant and hottest of which the "Vridlo" soots forth to a height of 30 feet. This spring is a beautiful sight, everyone took pictures and Mr. Valcik took movies. I'm sure by now, Mr. Valcik has shown his movies in several cities and most of the places that I have been writing about are all in the films.

Karlovy vary mineral water is used especially for drinking and for curative baths. It is bottled and together with the springs salts exported throughout the world. It is not only the healing power of the springs which is responsible for the world reputation of the spa.

Its exceptional location on the northern edge of the Slavkov forest in the romantic valley of the Tepla River also contributes to this. The spa is located at an altitude of 1150 feet above sea level and is surrounded by wooded slopes.

An important aspect of spa treatment is the entertainment of the guests. All the sanatoria and guest homes have libraries and reading rooms, while concerts by Czechoslovak and foreign artists are regularly held in the ballroom of the Grand Hotel Cedok-Moskva. In addition to Cinema houses in the town itself, has an open an Cinema seating 3000. (We also stopped at this Cine-ma, a fine place to find pleasure and entertainment). Form's of treatment: drinking cure, baths in hot spring water, Carbon dioxide baths both water and gas, peat baths, water therapy and electro-therapy.

an honor Mr. Valcik). After we ate our dinner, our guide song several songs and told jokes. All of us enjoyed this very much.

At the time of our visit to Karlovy vary an International Film Festival was being held. The city was decorated with colorful large flags and banners. This festival is held every year in July, and concerts theatrical and cultural programs alternate in rich series. While there, we had the honor of seeing a film, "Dobry vojak, Svejk". The teatres are very small for such an occasion, as only about 36 people can be seated. The other party that saw the movies with us were Russians, while the movie was shown, an entrepreter, translated it to them in Russian. The film "Dobry vojak Svejk is a comedy and all of us got a big laugh out of it. (A few days later in a Prague newspaper I noticed where this film won first place at the film festival.

All of us had fun shopping in Karlovy vary. The shops all closed at 1 o'clock and anyone that has seen us, as we were hurrying from one place to another trying to buy something in a hurry. This day was enjoyed by all, even the heat didn't bother. In fact I hated to leave this place of beauty, one cannot just see all of it in one day.

In late evening we all got aboard our bus and right away some of us were asking "where will the next stop be for a cold glass of beer." It wasn't long, the bus driver stopped at a "hostinec" and everyone ordered their favorite drink.

It was about a 31/2 hour drive to Prague and all of us were glad when we got there at 10:00 o'clock at night. There never was a dull manment on the bus, always singing and laughing. All throughout the tour, we sang just about every Czech song anyone knew. Everyone had a smile on their face and sparkle in their eye.

When we reached our Hotel Esplanade we were told that we could still be served a. "cold plate," this sounded very appetizing and we all agreed that it was a good idea. After talking and discusions of the days happengs, we all departed for our rooms. I'm sure everyone was ready for a good nights rest and be refreshed for Sunday morning.

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE FALL POLIO VACCINATION

With the peak of the polio season practically over, one big fact becomes apparent. Over 70 million people( in the country had had at least one % shot of Salk polio vaccine by Sept. 1, and this summer the number of polio cases dropped to a new low. It is clear that the Salk vaccine is safe -and it works.

How do we know it's safe? Because the U.S. government tests this vaccine thoroughly and continuously, -and must approve all that is used. How do we know it works? Because recent medical studies show that three properly spaced shots of Salk vaccine give immunity to 90 per cent of the persons injected.

But once the sumaner polio season . is over, people tend to forget about it.

They think that polio is licked and they don't need to worry about it any more.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The first thing to remember is that in the words of Dr. Jonas Salk, "Your neighbor's vaccination doesn't protect you." The Salk vaccine does not "wipe out" the polio virus. It protects against paralysis, but the virus remains alive and can be passed on to other people.

Unless you yourself have been vaccinated, you are as likely to catch polio as you were before there was a Salk vaccine.

The second thing to remember is that you need three shots of vaccine: the second shot two to six weeks after the first, the third shot seven months after the second. Unless you get all three, The guide from the Cedok agency you don't have -maximum protection gave us orders and at 2 o'clock all of against paralysis. us had to be at Cedok Grand Hotel If you start this fall, you can be fulMoskva.

(45-46p) ) • a& • SHOULD DISASTER STRIKE A traffic jani composed of people rushing into the disaster area is the major problem relief workers and police will face in coping with the affected community.

If disaster strikes suddenly at your city or community, the greatest problem will be posed by the tremendous number of people who throng to the scene, not the victims who want to get away.

How to handle the appalling traffic jam of those rushing into, not out of, the area will be the big headache of police and rescue workers.

This is the conclusion of a special Committee - on Disaster Studies of the National Academy of Science and the National Research Council. The committee made a earful study of a large number of tornadoes, floods, explosions and other calamities.

The findings contradicts a notion shared by many police and other control authOrities that the major disaster problem will be the control of a panicky population. In fact, the investigators reveal, disaster victims are normally passive, cooperative and subject to control.

Bven the horrable destruction and dangers of atomic attack cannot keep away the tremendous crowds of peo-

ple who rush toward the scene of disaster.

Within 24 hours after the bombing of Hiroshima, the committee's report states, thousands of refugees came streaming back into the destroyed city.

"According to one of the U.S.S.BS (U. S. Strategic Bombing Survey) reports, road blocks had to be set up along all routes leading into the city because there were so many people who wanted to search for missing relatives or to inspect the damage."

Convergence of great numbers of people on the scene of a disaster is a virtual universal phenomenon, the report states. Those who return are people with, in general, five types of motives. There are the returnees who want to look for family or friends or to salvage what they can of their belongings.

Then there axe the anxious, the helpers, the simply curious and the exploiters.

Those who go to the scene of a disaster through curiosity, although often resented by the victims and relief workers, are generally not motivated simply by idle curiosity or • by neurotic or "Ghoulish glee" in witnessing destruction and suffering.

They seem to feel the need to understand the threat of such a catastrophe and its possible future danger to themselves. There is a need to direct and channel the activities of the curious rather than to block them off. The danger of looting is n:iostly imaginary, the report indicates: "In none of the peacetime disasters studied during recent years has there been a significiantly large amount of looting or major theft."

The greatest need in handling disasters is for speedy, accurate and specific information. It is principally the impossibility of learning the fate of loved ones in the disaster area that makes people rush to the spot or bombard it with telegrams and telephone

calls or any other means of communication.

The report urges the organization in every community of corps of informa tion specialists who would have experience in news gathering and dissemination and who would be given special training in how to get the information out when all ordinary means of communications had broken down.

Ham radio operators, owners of loud speaker equipment and those who operate such communication facilities as radio stations, newspapers, telephone switchboards and printing establishments would be integrated into this as clearing houses for collecting infor fation and passing it on to relativeks and corps and provided with courieles and clerks to help them.
