Ve sttedu, tine 4. prosince 1957 ny bylo teHim ukolem. Mluvila jsem o torn s mnoha deny, kaldSr jen kreil ramenama a dodal, M to bude dojna krava naSi Jednoty. Mluvila jsem s nagmi Utednikami br. Markem, Chupickem, oni nebyli proti tomu, ale poukazovali na to, aby to byl podnik soukromY neb Jednoty, Ze by to nemohli vilbec zastavat, se o to starat.

Nelibylo se mne to, co me se tYka, ja bych si byla ptala, aby to bylo eiste nak Jednoty, kam by mohli jiti eleni nemajet ni, neb s malYm ptiplatkem.

To co by oni nemeli na zaplaceni jejich yydrZovani, mohlo se dati do stanov aby ka2djj elen, kter3j ma pojistku v odboru dospelYch elenri dal roene dolar na yydrZovani nemajetnYch elem v nstavu.

Tedy bratti a sestry zde ma te eerne na bSdern, M at' je to jednoty neb jaksi soukromi podnik jest stale — "iitulek naSi Jednoty" a rta gi povinnosti je a bude se o nej starat.

Byli byste kdokoliv z vas proti takovernu ptijeti Mena, kterST ne sam ale jeho deti kterYm on vyplacel pojistku a neb dosud plati syYm vnoueatftm nebyl ptijatY? Ja rozhodne bych volila pro neho neb tam je kus toho bratrstvi, ktere ma a musi sahat i za hranice naS1 Jednoty.

Pak je by 'Oen nemocnST neb jinak zatgen.Sr nemfile tam bSrti. ptijatST. Byli jste uz nekdy v takovSrch domech, kde leli teMe nemocnjj pacient. Ano, ja jsem v nich byla a mohu Vam tici, ze i ti kteti takove aulny vlastni kkaji nedoekaye al ten chovanec zernte. ftekla me feditelka takoveho domova, kdybysme to nemeli nekolik chovancri, ktefi jsou jeSte prrimerne zdravi a kteti si to bY\Tani zde dobfe zaplati, nemohli bysme takovS7 ritulek vydrZbvat.

Za 56 let zmohli jsem se na vlastni svoji budovu v Temple, Texas a nyni, o 4 roky pozdeji, uskuteenili jsme davnou myglen ku — postavili jsme krasna "Domov Odpoeinku" v Taylor.

Jako chuatt matka nernohla diteti svemu tolik data co jini tide mohoviti; tu vgak ctnost do sebe inela, 2e jim nezavidela, and nad svou tatudobou se nermoutila ale trpelivu,sti paeholatko k vdeenost k Bohu, sEriclmo,t1 a aetrnosti vedla, a pokaacie kdy2 proatidka pokrm jemu paedkladala, opakovala, ze ant toho, co nail lath v skrovnosti dava, nezasluhujenae.

Vojtech ye glcole hezky prospival, a matka kaadodenne nim eitavala v akolni knize. Om vice chlapec na tele prospival, tim vice potteboval, a proton matka sebe saratt zapiati musila aby chla.pce ogatila a nasytila. Lasky mateaske nemohouc zatajiti, zadaste k srdci svemu jej tiskla a s placern kikavala: "0, by ml Buh jen to milo qi clopfal a mne pri zdra vi zachoval, abych o tebe stale mohla peeovati! Jen se clobae, Vojti gku chovej a Bfh neopusti tebe: Bah jest odplatitelem vaem, kteti se k nemu bal. ; bud' ctnost na a naboana a dobte se ti povede." Vea tech plakaval se svou milou matiekota a tail se na to, co mu slibovala.

Nemaje nadeje k declictvi, by nelcdy bez nedostatku aiv bati mohl, cvidil se Vojtech ye akole umeni; veselea druhy sve neehaval na obci hrati a sam doma s knihou se zabaval a z fist matainach dobra na.ueeni poslouchaval. Dalai, co matce na, oeich vial; chodil s ni na di'ivi a pti pritcech domacich ji pomihal. Byl, to syn vdeena a radost matky sve.

Ach, jak teak° bylo ji synatka v Praze zanechati a opu gtene do osarnele svetnieky se navraceti! Na vetejne ulici drael Vojtech svou drahou matieku okolo krku, nemoha place za.staviti, a,nia se od ni odtrhnouti. Matka dala hodnemu synku svemu poaehnani a se slovy: "Vojtialcu, boj se Boha a nezapomi nej na svou matku!" plaeic odebrala se do sveho domova.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK with those of other lodges can then be To All Our Members worked out successfully in our district One More Deposit The end of the year and of our 60 Anniversary of our fraternal order is approaching and it would be interesting to ascertain just how many of our lodges in the different communities have observed this Jubilee.

It was indeed, a rare opportunity to inform our public of the aims of our brotherhood and it could have been of great assistance to the propagation of our fraternity. It could have served, incidentally, to publicize our endeavors and our humanitarian purposes in our communities for in many instances the public does not know about our undertakings in that respect.

meetings and this in turn would help the progress of our whole fraternal order.

Our annual meetings should assemble ALL of the membership of each lodge so that they could personally see how their lodge has progressed financially, and otherwise, in the year just past.

The election of officers is a very important function and often the success or failure of a lodge depends largely upon the choice of the elected officers and their capabilities. Every member should exercise his privilege to help in selecting the guiding minds of his respective lodge. Your lodge depends wholly upon the cooperation of all the members and the numerical growth and financial well-being, the social functions, and the cultural accomplishments, are dependent upon the interest of each and everyone of you.

There is still a litttle time left before the New Year where we could catch up on what we have neglected if we have been lagging behind! Let's all remember again, that a successful lodge depends upon our participation, upon our interest, upon our good will, upon our vote and upon our willingness to serve if we are selected and entrusted with some office, so, brothers and sisters, go to your lodge meetings and help with other members, to expand and build up your lodges and our fraternity.

My best wishes to you all.

L. O. H.

Besides the election of officers in our annual meetings, we should talk about the accomplishments of the year just past, and reiterate what has been accomplished in our organizational department and we should also lay plans for the coming year. There are so many things that we should discuss and so many plans that should be laid for our educational activity, for our youth movement and for our social and entertainment program,. These different phases should be worked out in our annual meetings and plans perfected so that our delegates to our next district meeting, would have something worth while to report. How can our delegates bring a favorable report about the activities of their lodge, if nothing has been done and no plans for the future laid? No wonder, that while we are complacent( ) ly standing by, other organizations and Double the Sales Before the New Year! insurance companies are taking our Youth right from under our noses!

In a short article such as this we cannot lay before you all the details on how to proceed, but our annual meetings should, after due deliberations, lay some plans — according to the possibilities of each respective lodge and locality. The main object is to always plan for a more successful program to follow.

Your ideas and suggestions together

Sometimes men feel that they must drop their life insurance because they look ahead with hesitancy to the many years of deposits which are yet tof be made.

But there is another angle.

It may be that one more deposit will be all that will be needed.

It may be that only one year of premium paying lies ahead.

All other premiums which would become due in the normal course of expectancy are not due now; only one premium is due now.

And perhaps this is the last premium that ever will be paid. ) • 4, • ( FRATERNAL PROGRESS UNABATED It is a matter of history that the pioneer fraternal benefit societies went through some trying times to attain an actuarially sound, financial foundation.

They had the courage to acknowledge their early errors and the strength to correct and profit from them. Today, the results of their acumen and good judgement has placed the societies on alegal reserve basis equivalent to the commercial insurance companies in steady, healthy financial growth and progress.

The fraternals have no appoligies to make to any companies or associations in the life insurance field. )• TRAFFIC TOLL BRINGS RECORD POLICY CLAIMS The mounting traffic toll is certain to bring a record number of life insurance death claims for motor vehicle accidents in 1957, with a record amount paid out for this cause, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

In the first nine months of this year, 34,000 such claims accounted foe payment of $82,000,000. This copares with $71,000,000 under 33,000 claims in the like period of last year and $53,000,000 under 27,000 claims five years ago. At the current rate, the 1957 total will be more than $110,000,000 under 46,000 claims.

How Much Is A Smile Worth To You A newspaper account recently told the story of a boy who had been struck by the broken end of a live wire, which touched one side of his face, burning and paralyzing it. In the court, the boy's lawyer asked the little fellow to turn toward the jury and smile. He tried. One side of his face smiled but the injured side just puckered up in a piteful condition. The jury took 12 minutes to award the boy $20,000. The amount was thus certified as the legal value of a smile.

If a smile is worth $20,000 after you lose it, it must be worth that much while you still have it. A friendly smile and a genuine interest in our fellow men are essentials for success in life. ) • .11* •

Our Children's Contact The urgent responsibility incumbent upon adult= units, it seems to me, is to make suitable plans for welcoming each class of young men and women entering the thresholdaof life.

Many years ago Fraternalism was coupled with something secret that only the privileged initiates were supposed to learn about. Practically all of the beneficial societies organized on that foundation; the meetings were closed, and there were mysterious and clandestine ceremonies. True the members waited on the sick and buried the dead, but over a period of years it gradually dawned on the members that their greater purpose was to help mankind, to cooperate for mutual welfare. The adequate rate movement brought the life insurance certificate into the fore.

We have been told by the highest authority that we must become as little children if we would attain the desired goal.

The idea of insuring and admitting children, called "Whole Family Protection," was broached in the National Fraternal Congress of An and was frowned upon. Finally after a number of years of agitation, it was approved at the Minneapolis Convention of the Congress in 1915.It was necessary to secure the enactment of permissive laws by the state legislatures. That required time.

Finally it was necessary for the frater nal leaders to come to the realization that the juvenile movement was a godsend to the entire fraternal system. So

today, while we have been advantageously combining our solicitation, we are only half-way.

At one time in our work as leaders or general solicitors it was necessary to say: "I'm sorry but we do not write the children." Not so today. The splendid and various forms of protection written by the fraternals now reaches out into the home of limited income on up to the home and parent who can offer educational opportunities at an unlimite• cost. Whole family maintenance is an advanced attraction in the field of life insurance, and many of our fraternal societies have embraced that plan.

The fraternal societies have their juvenile organizations. These are the greatest assets today. You are engaged in something big when you do juvenile work. The greatest company built on childhood is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. In its early days, it was almost a failure, but the children made it the largest.

The narrow and unreasonable limits in which we are permitted to operate juvenile departments in some states, how senseless it is. What an insult to the intelligence and abilities of the parent when we must offer to write insurance on a child which will pay such petty sums in case of death before the second birthday. Every fraternalist should do everything within his power to support the bills coming up in the various state legislatures to eliminate such offers.

We think it no exaggeration, no departure from the truth, to say that romance of *commercial life insurance companies has been predicated and built upon American childhood. For more than 50 years, policies have been written, nearly all of them upon lives of children.

These children have been reared in an old line atmosphere, but the fraternal societies have a natural advantage in juvenile work. They are handicapped in some states by inadequate-laws, but that situation will entirely be remedied before very long. The natural advantage is this: The only contact that the children have with the old line companies is through the debit men who call at the back door for the weekly or monthly collections.

That is not a very inspiring contact.

Their contact with the fraternal societies is through the meetings where the children have an opportunity to develop their talents,_ to take part in the fraternal activities. They learn something about the society, its formative stages, just one or two experiences last for life, and the parents can be highly instrumental toward that end. Combined ef-

Strana; '15 forts on their part with combined solicitation on the part of the field wor er. A membership campaign which neglects the children and young people is not conducted upon correct principicA. A unit can shift along without the very old people, but it will find it hard to do its full fraternal part and assist in keepz ing mortality rates down unless it peals strongly and continuously to the young people. It should cultivate the good-will of the children, so that in the fullness of time the ranks may be recruited fro::-( them, rather than fro/1r outsiders. These latter know little, and• often care less, about the society and they work the subordinate unit is doing,. among the membership and the corgimunity.

Strange as it may seem, when the membership ls presistently recruited, from this never-failing source, and az;li. highly desirable one, there is often little' occasion, if any, to go outside our rants, for new members. In other words, it is,', in effect, an endless chain of prospects.

Most of these do not need to be told, or educated as to the desirability and ) advantage of membership it the societ They learned it young, when their min were most plastic and retentive.

In conclusion, let me say it would be a great idea to take an inventory an analyze the condition of our respective'units, set our houses in order, 4$a•d:' place the "Welcome Sign" for all incoming business, junior and senior, in combined effort to show we are bigger and better today, than ever before. ) • .Ys • (.

The Christmas Seal Campaign

Our Compliments

Each year, as the Christmas season approaches, the National Tuberculosis Association carries on its annual Christmas Seal campaign. And it would be hard indeed to find a cause more worthy of public interest and support.

Great strides have been made in fighting tuberculosis — due in no small part to the work of the Association, and to the financial success past sales have achieved. But a great deal more remains to be done and must be done. The latest estimates indicate that 250,000 Americans have active TB, 100,000 of them unknown to health authorities. In addition, there are 1,750 people with inactive TB, and 550,000 of them are still in need of medical supervision or public health follow-up. And an estimated 55,000,000' Americans — a third of the population — are infected with the gerrx-It that cause TB. Some 2,700,000 of this huge group will develop TB in their lifetimes, if the present rate of development of disease from infection continues:' ) • 4 • (

a0 Early, Christmas Mail Will Set Record Predicting that the Christmas mail this year will set an all-time record, even exceeding the record set in 1956, Postmasters announce the "Mail Early For Christmas" campaign has started.

With Christmas only a little more than a month away the Postmasters remind ris, "It's later than you think!" Most folks have a tendency to wait until December rolls around before they give their Christmas mailing plans any thought.

It Is further suggested that right now is the .tiase to take the following steps: Cheek your Christmas card lists very carefully and make sure that each address ' includes the full name, street and number, city, zone and state.

It is also a good idea to stock up on heavy wrapping paper, sturdy corrugated cartons, strong cord and paper adhesive tape for use in securely packing and wrapping your Christmas gifts. If you would like to include your Christmas card or letter inside your gift package, add the appropriate First Class mail postage to the postage for the package itself; thus, insuring simultaneous arrival of your gift and greeting.

From the report received from our Brother Joe B. Hejny, we note that in the just past eleven months of 1957, we have gained 1,321 new members with a total of insurance added of $1,845,500.

This is, indeed, most gratifying and our organizers should be commended for their efforts that have brought such outstanding results.

In the month of November, alone, our organizers have secured 108 members with a total insurance increase of $128,500_ In this month of December if we should make a similar progress, we should be able to over run the figure of $2,000,000 of new insurance written in 1957. Again we take this opportunity to thank all of our organizers for this splendid work that benefits every member of our fraternity.

May the Christmas Spirit bring you all more unexpected and favorable results.

THE EDITOR )• 4 • ( DIETITIAN SCORES REDUCING SCHEMES The important step toward weight reduction is to visit a physician. With his over all knowledge of a person's mental and physical health. he alone is qualified to decide what the weight reduction program should be. including a sane rate of weight loss.

So declared Mrs. Henry E. Erickson. president of the American Dietetic A&= sociation and director of the Department of Dietics at Ancker Hospital, St. Paul, Minn.. in a statement criticizing certain publications that publish weight reduction ". che.i,s,s" without medical or scientific basis, which "in time may prove detrimental to health."

"Tremendous advances would be made in the health of our people," she continued, "if they would realize that a weight reduction program should be custom built, designed specifically for each person. It is ridiculous to assume, for example, that any particular 1,200calorie diet should be suitable for all women and any one 1,500-calorie diet for all men, regardless of physical condition, size, age, daily activity, and a number of other considerations. Each person's caloric needs should be determined, and the requirements of other important nutrients should be specified.

Mrs. Erickson said that the Association is publishing a booklet to counter food misinformation.

Wednesday, December 4, 1957 STALK DESTRUCTION DEADLINE FOR CONTROL OF PINK BOLLWORMS Field inspection for Pink Bollworms in McLennan County, this past cotton' growing season, revealed a considerable reduction in the infestation. This reduction can be attributed to several factors, but probably the foremost of importance, is the extra good stalk destruction that was carried on in the county in 1956. This destruction also helped considerably in the control of the boll weevil which was also very light in the county this year.

Although the weather conditions have not been too favorable the past few weeks, the early frost in :east parts of the country has• eliminated all hopes of a top crop. This in it self is work g for an even better insect control, int,ehat it will cut off the late generations.

The remaining Pink Boll worm can be dealt a further set back by cutting and plowing under cf the cotton stalks as soon as the weather will permit. This should be done before any oats or other small grains are planted.

The following is taken from Proclamation No. 7 of the Texq Pink Bollworm Law. , `All cotton plants in McLennan County must be destroyed by midnight of December 15, 1957. Cotton stalks standing in any field in the county during the period from December 16, 1957 to April 1,1958 shall not be within the authcrization conferred herein, and, therefore, shall be in violation of the afore said Texas Pink Bollworm Law. Each owner of land and his tenant, agent or leasee, if any, of said land, shall be jointly and/or severally responsible for conducting cotton production as provided herein, and for any act or omission on said land not within the authorization confereed herein and in violation of the Pink Bollworm Law, each person shall be subject to the penalty imposed by law for said violation."

Children's, Youth Club TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR YOUTH LEADERS Report on the Youth Counsellors section meeting of the National Fraternal Congress of America held at Los Angeles, Calif., submitted to the officers and members of the youth counsellors section of the Texas Fraternal Congress Convention at Temple, Texas.

Since at the meeting of the Program Committee of the Youth Counselors Section of the Texas Fraternal Congress at Dallas on August 21, 1956. I made a statement that I would probably attend the National Fraternal Congress in Los Angeles, it was suggested and agreed by that Committee that I should attend the meeting of the Youth Counselors section at the Los Angeles Convention, and make a report on it to the Youth Counselors Section of the Texas Fraternal Congre ,s. I therefore, wish to carry out that assignment.

The Youth Counselors Section meeting of the National Fraternal Congress was held in the Los Angeles Room of the Statler Hotel at 9 a.m. on Sept. 24, 1957.

The meeting was presided over by the chairman, Michael Grasha, President of the Croation National Fraternal Union.

After the invocation was . offered, the pledge of Allegiance made and the National Anthem sung, Mr. Louis E. Probst, the President of the National Fraternal Congress extended his greetings to the meeting.

After the reading and acceptance of the minutes of the previous meeting of Youth Counselors Section of the National Fraternal Congress of America, Michael Grasha made his report as President of the Section. The Secretary-Treasurer, Francis L. Mizenko's (Slovak Union) repoXt was then read by Mr. Don A. Talucci, (Maccabees) as subetitute for Mr. Mizenko, Mr. Mizenko be-

vtaTiiiic.

WEST, TEXAS

ina ill. These reports were accepted. A Nominating Committee was then appointed. After these preliminaries were dispensed of, the real purpose of the meeting was then taken up. This consisted principally of a panel discussion with the Chairman, Michael Grasha, presiding, as Moderator.

The panel discussion was participated in by quite a number of the delegates. chiefly Hugo Young, (Catholic Order of Foresters), Anna M. Cooley, (Royal Neighbors) E. E. "Blue" Howell, (Wcodx(an of the World Insurance Society, Don a Talucci, (Maccabees), Louis Patrick, Woodman Circle) and several others. These panel discussions were very interesting and instructive.

The matters discussed and the plans offered for organizing and maintaining Youth Departments of Fraternal Orders were many and varied. While the participants, on the panel discussions, differed on many things there were some things on which they had unanimous opinions. Some of those things on which all the participants agreed being principly the following: (a) That the organization of Youth Departments of Fraternal Orders is very important, well-nigh indispensable for future existence of our Fraternal Orders. Its a must. (b) That in order to maintain a successful and a smooth working Youth Department in any Fraternal Order it is best if the boys and girls are divided into separate sections and then divided into various age groups, in the sections. (c) That in order to get the Youth Department membership interested in the Youth Department and in the activities they must be made to feel that it is their organization, that they are the members and managers of it, and that they control it. (d) That in order to arouse and retain the interest of the membership of the Youth Department in the Youth Section of the Order a certain amount of ceremonial or ritualistic work is very desirable. It has a• certain appeal to Youth. e) That the membership of a Youth Department of a Fraternal Order must be kept busy. They must be put to work: They must be given assignments in order to make them feel and realize that they are a part of the Youth Organization and that their contribution to the Youth Section is very important and necessary. They must be made to realize that by participating in Youth activities that they are doing something worth while. (f) That' the Active workers in the Youth Department should be rewarded

Strana 21 by awards of merit, badges, uniforms, stripes, etc., in recognition of their work. (g) That above all to insure the success of a Youth Club in ariy Fraternal Order the most necessary and. important thing is a good leader: It's a must! If the Club is large enough that there should be a lady leader for the girls section, and a man leader for the boys section.

After the Panel discussions the report of the Nominating Committee was received. The new officers of the section, nominated by the Nominating Committee, were elected, and there-upon installed by Louise Patrick, (Woodman Circle.)

As president of the Youth Section for the ensuing year the section elected Mr. E. E. "Blue" Howell (Woodman of the World Life Insurance Society).pre:s1:dent, Mr. Don a Talucci (Macaboes) First-Vice President, and Louis E.:Caron (Catholic Order of Foresters) secretary In the panel discussions it was suggested that the National Fraternal Congress should provide and maintain a complete library of text books, literature, outlines of programs and everything needed in connection with the Youth Department activities of the n-Rmber l societies of the National Congress, so that all theSocieties would have available to them the best material and information on the subject obtainable. That appears like a good idea to me.

One thing that surprised me, very agreeably, at this meeting, was the Willingness and desire of the reptesentotives of the various Orders taking part in the panel discussions, that have, organized and functioning Youth Departments, their willingness to 'Share with others, interested in organiting Youth Departments, their experiences with their own particular Youth Departments and their generous offers to donate their literature etc., to other societies for their study and adoption.

Some Fraternal Orders, especially the Maccabees, Catholic Order of Foresters; Wcodanan of the World, Royal Neighbors, and others have very interesting literature dealing with organization and management of Youth Clubs. Since these organizations offered the use of their literature and the benefit of their experience to other societies I would suggest that any society interested , ha organizing a Youth Department write 1 o these Orders for their literature.

The spirit of Fraternalism which wa so manifest in the attitudes and statements in all to participants was very refreshing and cheering to me. I enjoyed the meeting.

Respectfully submitted, MRS, J, F. CHUPICK

Yourth sincerethly, Carole Nemec ) „7• • ( "TEEN AGERS" CLUB OF ENNIS The Ten Agers' Club of Ennis, SPJST Lodge No. 25 held a meeting on November 21. There was an election of officers for the year of 1958, and those elected were Roger Nesuda, President, Danny Novy, Vice president, Martin Zapletal secretary, Judy. Hrabina, treasurer, and IThtty Jean Haskovec, reporter.

A Christmas Party has been planned toe December 17. The children are sup: Posed to meet at the hall, and then go out "Caroling" to town while the rest of the parents and smaller children will be at the hall. After our return, we'll have a small program. There will be a Xmas tree and an exchange of gifts.

"Because it's about you."

"That's the very reason you ought to tell me,' the young man said.

He urged her and begged her until at last Dobrunka did tell him , the dream.

"Well now," he 'said, "that dream of yours except the part about the cat can be realized easily enough."

Dobrunka laughed. ',Mow could I ever become a fine lady?"

"By marrying me," the young man said.

Dobrunka blushed. "Now, sir, you are joking."

"No, Dobrunka, that is no joke. I really mean it..I came back this morning to ask you to marry me. Will you?"

Dobrunka was too surprised to speak, but when the young man took her hand she did not withdraw it.

Just then the old woman, came in. The young man greeted her and without any delay declared his intentions. He said he loved Dobrunka and wished to make her his wife and that all he and. Dobrunka were waiting for was the mother's consent.

"I have my own house," he added, "and am well able to take care of a wife.

And for you too, dear mother, there will always be room in my 'house and at my table."

The old woman listened: to all he had to say and then very promptly gave her blessing.

"Then, my dear one," the young man said to Dobrunka ,"go back to your spinning and when you have spun enough for your wedding trousseau, I shall come for you."

Wednesday, December 4, 1957 He kissed her, gave his hand to her mother, and, springing on his horse, rode away.

From that time the old woman treated Dobrunka more kindly. She even went so far as to spend on Dobrunka a little of the money the young man had given them ,but most of it, of course, went for, clothes for Zloboha.

But in those happy days Dobrunka wasn't worrying about anything as unimportant as money. She sat at her wheel and spun away thinking all the while of her fine young lover. Time sped quickly and before she knew it she had spun e nough for her wedding trousseau The very day she was finished, her lover came. She heard the trample of his horse and ran out to meet him.

"Have you spun enough for your wedding trousseau?" he asked her as he took her to his heart.

"Yes," Dobrunka said, "I have."

"Then you can ride away with me this moment."

"This moment!" Dobrunka gasped.

"Why so quickly?"

"It has to be, my dear one. Tomorrow I go off to war and want you to take my place at home. Then when I come back you'll be there to greet me as my wife."

"But what will my mother say to this?"

"She will have to consent."

They went into the cottage and spoke to the old woman. She was far from pleased with this arrangement, for she had worked out a very different plan in her mind. But what could she do? A rich young bridegroom always has his own way. So she hid her disappointment with a false smile and gave them her blessing.

Then the young man said to her: "Get your things together, mother, and follow Dobrunka, for I don't want her to be lonely while I'm gone. When you get to the city, go to the palace and ask for Dobron.kil. The people there will tell you where to go."

Dobrunka with tears streaming down her cheeks bid her mother good-by. Dobromil lifted her to the saddle in front of him and away they went like the wind.

The town was in great excitement.

There was much hurrying to and fro as the troops were being put in readiness for the morrow. A crowd had gathered at the palace gates. and as a young man came galloping up, holding in front of him a lady lovely as the day, they should went up: "Here he is! Here he is

Wednesday, December 4, 1957 The people in the courtyard took up the cry and as Dobromil rode through the gate all of them with one voice shouted out: "Long live our beautiful queen! Long live .eur noble king!"

Dobrunka was struck with amazement.

"Are you really the king, Dobromil?" she asked, looking into his proud and happy face.

"Yes," he said. "Aren't you glad that I am?"

"I love you," Dobrunka. said, "and so whatever you are 'makes no difference to me. But why did you deceive me?"

"I did not deceive you. I told you that your dream would be realized if you took me for your husband."

In those early times marriage was a simple affair. When a man and woman loved each other and their parents consented to their union, they were looked upon as married. So Dobromil now was able to present Dobrunka to his people as his wife.

There was great rejoicing, music played, and there was feasting and drinking in the ,banquet hall until dawn.

The next day the young husband kissed his lOVelY bride farewell and rode off to war.

Left alone the young queen strayed through the magnificent palace like a lost lamb. She would have felt more at home rambling through the woods and awaiting the return of her husband in a little cottage than here where she was a lonely stranger. yet she was not a stranger for long, for within half a day she had won every heart by her sweetness and goodness.

The next day she sent for her mother and the old woman soon arrived bringing with her Dobrunka's spinning wheel. So now there was no more excuse for loneliness.

Dobrunka supposed that her mother would be made very happy to find what good fortune had befallen her daughter. The old woman pretended she was, but in her heart she was furious that a king had married Dobrunka and not Zloboha.

After a few days she said, very artfully, to Dobrunka: "I know, my dear daughter, that you think your sister, Zloboha, was not always kind to you in times past. She's sorry now and I want you to forgive her and invite her here to the palace."

"I should have asked her before this," said Dobrunka, "But I didn't suppose she wanted to come If you wish it, we'll go for her at once."

"Yes, dear daughter, I do wish it."

V E S.T N I K WEST, TEXAS

So the queen ordered the carriage and off they went to fetch Zloboha.

When they came to the edge of the woods they alighted and ordered the coachman to await them there. They went on afoot to the cottage where Zloboha was expecting them.

Zloboha came running out to meet them. She threw her arms about her sister's neck and kissed her and wished her happiness. Then the wicked sister and the wicked mother led poor unsuspecting Dobrunka into the house. Once inside Zloboha took a knife that she had ready and struck Dobrunka. Then they cut off Dobrunka's hands and feet, gouged out her eyes, and hid her poor body in the woods. Zloboha and her mother wrapped up the hands and feet and the eyes to carry them back with them to the palace because they believed that it would be easier for them to deceive the king if they had with them something that had belonged to Dobrunka.

(To Be Continued). ) • 4, • ( CHRISTMAS DELIVERY ASSURED BY MAILING EARLY Early mailing of all Christmas cards and gifts is the biggest single factor in getting all of the mail delivered before Christmas.

The postmasters throughout the state urge special care in preparing gift packages for the mails. Make sure all addresses are legible and complete.

If you have any article of unusual size or bulk, better check with the Post Office before attempting to mail them.

The limits on size, and weight of packages varies, depending on where you mail your package.

When wrapping gifts for mailing it is better to use corrugated cartons, especially in cases where there are a number of various sized objects in the shipment.

Use plenty of wadded tissue or newspaper for extra protection against shock, and securely wrap each package or carton in heavy paper, and then tie with strong cord. Be sure to include an extra label with your return address and the recipients address inside the carton or package before it is wrapped,.

Another good idea is to place a piece of transparent cellophane tapio over the address portion of the label on your package to prevent defacing in transit, and always make sure to incleda the recipient's full name, street address, city, zone and state. ) •A•( Do Not Neglect Lodge Elections! ) • 4, • ( Double the Sales Before the New Year!

Strana 23 THE WAY TO VICTORY Victories of life are won not in 'the marts where the decisive struggle takes place, but in the obscure and forgotten hours of preparation. Success or failure lies in the hands of the individual long before the hour of final test comes.

In the higher fields of success there are no accidents; men reap precisely what they have sown and nothing else; they do well precisely what they have prepared to do and they do nothing else well.

The world puts its force into us when we put ourselves in right relation with it; experience makes us constantly wiser if we know how to rationalize it; time deposits all manner of treasure in our imagination and memory, if we hold the doors open.

Nothing is lost upon a man''' who is bent upon growth, nothing wasted on one who is constantly preparing for his work and his life by keeping eyes, mind and heart open to nature, men, books and experience.

Later I married a Ohcitizen abroad and now want to file petition on behalf of my new wife, for, a nonquota visa. Somebody tells ale Mexican mail order divorce is invalid.

Would you advise me?

Answer — Mexican mail order divorces, are not generally recognized as valid.

However, Mexican divorces, where at least one party was present in Mexico and the other represented by attorney, have been recognized for immigration purposes. Since the question is very centplicated, it is recommended that per,son4 , who have received such divorces and who want to take any steps in an immigration procedure, first consult a, lawyer regarding the validity of their, divorce.

Women's Nook LODGE 97, PLACEDO, TEXAS Dear Sisters and Brothers: Here I come again! Well, we began to have some bad weather. Seems like a person can't make any progress in anything for if you think that perhaps now you can start working in the yard or field—it starts raining and that's the same way in the house. Just as soon as you mop up the mud off the floors and et your clothes washed and dry. here it etarts raining again. So it is, 'round ar_d 'round.

But I guess we shouldn't complain since we ha d a long drought, though I don't know which is worse, the drought or lots of rain. When it's dry you don't make anything and when it rains the floods get it, so, it hurts either way. However, we have to take it as it comes.

Now, regarding our meeting: The attendance in our last meeting was very small. This sounds just like this one meeting was poorly attended. The fact is, hist the officers and two members came. Needless to ask what have we decided about our next District Six Meeting! I sincerely hope that it was the bad weather that caused this small attendance.

I'm sure that every member is aware of the fact as the year 1957 is drawing to a close, thatthe time has come to elect the new officers for the year 1958, so I urge all of our members to come to the meeting and elect officers of your choice.

The Date of our next meeting is December 8th. at 2:00 p. m. sharp, since there will be election of officers and cliscup,sion about our District Meeting.

We are expecting to see each and every member present at this meeting on December 8th. Please do not fail us!

Several of the few remaining circuses have gone on the rocks in the United States in recent years. The newspapers carried the stories of another failure this month.

Ringling Brothers-Barnum and Bailey Circus is touring this year without their traditional big top, as they no longer cary along tents. The huge show under the big top is at an end, as the show is performed in indoor auditoriums.

If this marks the end of the big top in America, it will be the end for many things, and the vast traveling assemblage which has characterized the circus in America for so many years will fade from the scene. The smaller circuses have not been able to make it in modern times, competing with television and other forms of entertainment. They are now selling their animals and the show will never again go on the road.

This is unfortunate, and to a certain number, of Americans it is almost a personal tragedy. The circus, one might say, has been a part of the American way of life. If the traveling circus with its wonderful animal acts, and many others, now fade from view, a little bit of the color of our way of life will have been lost.

Irons Cites Importance Of Fraternal Insurance David B. Irons, member of the State Board of Insurance, told 154 persons at a banquet of the recent 57th annual Texas Fraternal Congress in the Hawn Hotel that the fraternal benefit system is an "active and important segment" of the state's economy.

He cited the $204,708,250 of insurance in force with 12 Texas fraternal benefit societies and 34 out-of-state fraternal benefit societies licensed to do business in Texas.

Fourteen fraternals are represented at the conference.

"Obviously, the fraternal benefit societies have every reason to be proud that the people of Texas have entrusted to them this substantial segment of their insurance coverage," Irons stated.

The 40-year-old former attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice who returned to Texas from Washington to be a member of the State Board of Insurance which was reorganized under Senate Bill 222 this summer, said he belongs to a fraternal benefit society himself.

"In Suggesting that you should seek always to give real meaning to the fraternal aspect of your societies. I do not suggest that your insurance program should in -dny Way be subordinated," he commented.

"There can be no doubt that its insurance program is the primary purpose of the fraternal society to, which I belong. Beyond question, it is an insurance organization. HoweVer, it is also an actual fraternal organization. Its local units have active social programs for members and their families, and the benevolent works of the society of a completely non-insurance nature are an important aspect of the program," Irons stated.

Irons described a fraternal benefit society as an organization which is organized and carried on solely for the mutual benefit of its members and their beneficiaries, and not for profit, and having a lodge system and representa tive form of government.

It should admonish you to cling to that aspect of the nature of your organ-. ization which is found in the words `having a lodge system and representative form of government.' I believe this is the cornerstone of the fraternal benefit system," he said.

Irons said the section of the insurance department which handles complaints against insurers practically never gets an inquiry or complaint against a' fraternal benefit society except in instances where people are actually acting as

commercial insurers under the guise of fraternal benefit societies.

"It is important never to permit the requirement of a representative form of government of a fraternal to become a hallow mockery," he asserted.

Irons outlined the reorganization of the state insurance department which is still under way. He said the new board completely replaced the old insurance commission July 1.

He said it is the rule of the new board to make all hearings public so both sides can always be heard.

The speaker paid for his own meal.

"It is a felony for any board member, the commissioner or employees to accept anything of value from an insurance company, agent or employee of ony insurance company. It is a felony for any officer, agent or employee of an insurance concern to even offer anything of value to us. We are observing the strict letter of this part of the new law, he explained.

J. F. Chupick, Temple, president of the congress served as master of ceremonies.

Rev. L. Stanley Williams, pastor of the First Methodist Church, gave the invocation.

Carl Biebers, San Antonio, Grand President Of the Sons of Herman in Texas, introduced distinguished guests. Biebers later was presented with a silk American flag for the best photograph and pamphlet. display of fraternal activities in competition won by the Herman Sons.

The Harmony Maids of Temple Junior College, under the direction of Mrs. Robert Marshall, sang several numbers.

Coming to the congress by special bus from Houston was the 24-member Carlette drill team, composed of girl members of the Sons of Herman, aged 10-17 under the direction of Mrs. Beatrice Miller. The Carlettes returned to Houston after a drill demonstration.

The Women's Benefit Assn. drill team captained by Mrs. Viola Woodyard; the Degree of Honor Lodge No. 36 drill team, also captained by Mrs. Woodyard; and the Krebs Willing Workers, Woodmen Circle, Captained by Miss Beverly Jones, also performed.

Miss Deborah Ann Adamcek of the SPJST played an accordion solo, and the Matus sisters of the same organization sang two numbers.

The Busy Bees, a Maccabee group, and Miss Kaye Folkes, also of the Maccabees sang to the accompaniment of Mrs. Etta Walker.

During his years working among thd sick in this community, Dr. Dufrieid earned the respect of everyone, and was looked to especially by the poor for advice. As one person stated: "Many poor people who were unable to pay are still alive today because of Dr. Dufner's humanitarianism and medical attention." He cared for the poor for little or nothing.

Preceding him to the grave were his father in 1929; two sisters, Mrs. Annie McGill and Mrs. Viola Fehrenkamp; three brothers: Freddie, Jodie and Caddie Valenta.

Brother Valenta was a member of our Lodge No. 10. May he rest in peace! r )• L. E. PUSTEJOVSKY PLACED AT REST The passing of 'Louis E. Pustejovsky brought deep sorrow to his immediate family and expressions of sincere regret fro& a large circle of friends.

Mr. Pustejovsky was born December 17, 1892 near Halletesville, in the community of Ezell of Lavaca County and always cherished the fact of being a native Texan as well as a Lavaca Countin. He was the son of Joseph J. and Mary (Adaniec) Pustejovsky.

Scores of friends evidenced their respect and sincere regards by attendance upon the last rites. Myriads of flowers covered his last' resting place and spiritual , bouquets were profuse. ) •( THE VOICE WASN'T LOUD ENOUGH Sylvia Porter, the syndicate writer on economic r■ f [airs, recalls that during this year's congressional session "You, the American public, demanded cuts in federal spending in the limdesit voice you have used in modern times."

Just what results did this public clamor obtain? Miss Porter provides an answer to that guestion, based on information from the factual and authorita live Congressional Quarterly. • There were 66 rollcall votes directly affecting federal spending. Moves for economy v:4re backed in only one-third of these votes - 22 out of 66.

As for the future, Miss Parter takes a peSshnistic view. She thinks the chances are that government spending in. general -- as well as defense allocations -- is likely to rise.

Recent events, obviously have made a bad matter worse. There is a definite probability that two or three additional billions will be needed for a stepped-up missile program. Other military spending may also be increased. Congressional leaders have said that the money can be obtained by paring non-defense spending. But will it -- or will it be piled on top of an already swollen budget?

The public voice demanding economy was loud earlier this year. But it is going to have to become far louder still if it is to get the answer it wants.

If a member has risen to claim the floor, or has been assigned„ the floor, and calls for the question are made, or it is moved to adjourn, or to lay the question on the table, it is the duty of the chair to suppress the disorder and protect the member who is entitled to the floor. Except by general consent, a motion cannot be made by one who has not been recognized by the chair as having the floor. If it is made it should not be recognized by the chair if any one afterwards rises and claims the floor, thus showing that general consent has not been given.
