THE EDITOR'S DESK Director Rob. Cervenka Is Your Lodge Building or Remodeling?

FROM

The results of the tedious procedure of raising money by soliciting pledges and then collecting them, donations and obtaining a bank mortgage for immediate working capital are not often very satisfactory.

A plan adopted in the 1930 meeting of Lodge XYZ of Texas, avoided these uncertainties and expenses and the plan might help other lodges save thousands of dollars.

The cost of a new addition to the lodge hall was assessed by the architect, and the officers agreed on the sum• to be raised. But they decided to borrow from their own members instead of the banks. The total dollar cost of the project was divided by 25, the amount of the srnallers loan to be accepted This determined the number of $25.00 loans, or shares, needed for the building program.

Members were asked to subscribe to as many shares as they could handle.

The shares issued to each individual member were numbered consecutively each holding starting with the number 1.

A widow or a person of small means might be able to lend on $25 and take one share. A man who could afford to loan his lodge $1,000 received shares numbered 1 to 40.

The lodge had its money immediately and was able to proceed at once with construction. The common investment of the shareholders held them closer together to see the project paid up to the final share.

A liquidating committee was appointed to collect donations and monies from the money making projects of the lodge and bank the profit in a special fund.

When the treasury had the money to pay off all shares numbered No. 1, the shares were called in. As further contributions and monies were received, redemption of the next-higher-numbered notes were made, and so on, until the entire obligation was repaid to the

members.

The advantages of such a. plan are many. No time limit need be set for redemption of the notes. Members and friends may be more willing to loan money than to make large outright contributions. Both large and small contributions can give maximum immediate aid to the project. The small contributors, who may need the money most, are paid off first.

Many variations are possible. Undoubtedly an alert lodge committee of officers could improve upon the details of this plan as described.

ECTED BY ACCLAMATION AT JAROMIR West, Texas The local lodge Jaromir No. 54, West, Texas, held its annual election of officers Sunday, December 1, 1957, for the coming year with a nice crowd participating in the elections.

Brother Robert Cervenka was elected president of Lodge Jaromir for another year by acclamation as was Brothers Sulak, Cocek, Kostohryz, Mikeska and Marek Sisters Barton and Soukup were elected reporters for the lodge for the Czech language section of the Vestnik and the English section.

Lodge Jaromir also voted acceptance of the Lodge By-Laws as amended by the By-Law Committee and with the emphasis on "Youth" and its role in our lodges, it was decided that the Youth Director or Directors would be elected in the next meeting, after more thought and effort be put into the formulation of plans for a very effective Youth Club, which is to be worked out with the Youth Director accepting this responsibility.

Other officers elected will be announced by the Lodge Reporters. , The Editor and wife were amazed at the face lifting that Lodge Jaromir got since we were in the Hall last and congratulated the Lodge for this step toward modernizing and streamlining the Hall. Shows what work and cooperation will do! Just keep it up Lodge 54!

The Editor and wife attended the meeting of the Ross Lodge Sunday, December 1, to a goodly crowd of brothers.

They have a very, very nice country Lodge Hall, with lots of space. If the good brothers would only help their wives with Sunday dishes so that the sisters could get ready and attend Lodge meetings with the brothers, plus children, and possibly a few kolaches and a pot of coffee, and after the business meeting have a song fest for about an hour, what a nice social hour they

Wednesday, December 11, 1957 could have in their fine Hall Without the woman, there would be no home, without women there is little lodge activity. Sisters of Lodge Ross, make that man in your house take you to your Lodge meetings, too! Organize a "Women's Circle" a gabfest if needbe, but be there and bring the little ones, too. For the Youth of your Lodge, organize a softball team or Volley ball team (boys against girls). Let them get acquainted and let them play with .other children of your Lodge family. It is for them that you and your husband maintain the expense of keeping up a Hall, bring thew, with you, make them glad to come! They are your future Lodge leaders, let them grow up in the fraternal surroundings!

Let them play games around the Hall. if the weather permits. This probably goes for some other 'napping' Lodges of ours, too.

The Editor and wife wish all these Lodges around West lots of success in the coming year, may your membership double, and your Lodge Halls echo with laughter of your youth. This is our wish from our house to your house.

The. editor and the Vestnik stand ready to help you whenever possible, "but you will have to take the initial step" and in willingness and cooperation , you will not fail. Good Luck. Lod-. ge 126, Bless You 54! Don't let them beat you Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood, and of course, our best wishes to No. 66 at Linden Hall.

ATTENTION DISTRICT SEVEN MEMBERS AND ORGANIZERS San Antonio, Texas November report from the Supreme Lodge reveals that our District has utade wonderful progress so far this year in writing new members and new insurance. Our District has made a very good record and I am very grateful and thankful for this very nice achievement. We are, however still short only about $40,000 new insurance to attain our set goal of "Doubling our Sales for our 60th Anniversary."

From the time you receive this copy of your Vestnik, we will have only about 10 days left for writing new membeM or additional insurance for your present members in order to count this new insurance in on this Year's production.

We are so near this Goal. It would be a dissapointment if our District would miss this goal just by only a small amount.

VESTNjI — WAS% TEXAS Let us be sure we go "Over The Top".

I suggest you make a check of your own insurance needs, maybe you need more insurance yourself, or talk to your good neighbors, explain to them our SPJST Fraternal Life Insurance, then call your nearest Organizer to work out the details. I remain, Your fraternal friend and District Seven Organizer, CHARLIE CERNY ) • 4, • (

FRATERNAL TOPICS Dallas, Texas December 4, 1957 _Asters and Brothers: First, it seems to me that, because of the extensiveadvertising our lodge Pokrok Dallas, No. 84 of SPJST has done during the month of September, to be exact, in Vestnik No. 37, issued on the eleventh of last September, of the projectedâ&#x20AC;˘showing by Brother Valcik of Houston, of motion pictures taken by members of our SPJST on their visit to Czechoslovakia, which showing was for the benefit of our Rest Home, it surely is pertaining to let our membership know how much this show has added to the treasury of this home.

In Vestnik No. 40, issued on October the second, in the report of the treasurer of the Rest Home, $96.20 is mentioned as contributed to the Home by lodge Pokrok Dallas, No. 84 of our SPJST, but no mention is made, that this amount was voluntarily contributed by viewers of those pictures, exhibited

by Brother Valcik, and that the money is a direct result of Brother Valcik's and and Lodges efforts.

So lodge Pokrok Dallas, No. 84 of our SPJST has additionally contributed $96.20, which does run up our total contribution to the Home to close to three thousand dollars. We are making this statement knowing well that we may be the recipient of another sermon about boasting of the amounts we have contributed as a lodge for outfitting the Home with furnituft, as has happened to us alter the full accounting of the contributions in our great effort to help the Home. We have promised that every contribution will be accounted for in our Vestnik and we did just that, and there was absolutely no boasting involved.

Sisters and brothers, memories of that banquet to the victors, organizers of district No. 5 by the losers, organizers of district No. 3, is a very healthy and for our SPJST very profitable membership contest between these two districts are still buzzing in my head. This banquet was ably described by the secretary of district No. 3, Sister Wilma Nesuda in Vestnik No. 45 issued on November 6 and we should express our sincere appreciation to Sister Nesuda for her compact report in English.

Then following week, in Vestnik No. 46, on pp. six and seven, Sister Frances Olexa is expressing her views on that banquet, bringing out items that are really interesting to every member. Her description is somewhat different from

Sister Nesuda's complete statistical review, bringing out her personal feelings and views.

And it is a pleasure to note one item that Sister Olexa brought out. That is the somewhat concealed fact that the district organizers, Brother Skrabanek of the Fifth and Brother Vrla of the Third, gave the top workers of their respective districts, seven in all, very handsome and valuable gifts, for which these two district organizers paid themselves. That surely is showing The FRATERNAL SPIRIT, spelled withcapital letters. And that is one reason why the fifth and third districts are at the top of our insurance writing statistics.

Sister Olexa named the seven top organizers so honored, butrepeating their names here will not hurt, they deserve it. They are. Steve Valcik, Alfred Hilsher and Sister Frances Olexa of the Fifth District and Sister Anna Milan (top worker of the Order) J. R. Bartek, Alvin Nesu_da and Emil Popp of the Third District; and, boy, were they surprised when handed the gifts.

It may interest the readers to know that this gathering of organizers of only two districts out of seven have written over half of the members admitted up to October 1; that is, of a total of =1,10-1 members these two districts wrote' 557 (50.6 per cent) and of $1,579,000 insurance written, these two districts were credited with $923,500( over 58.4 per cent). So yOU certainly must agree with sister Ne.suda's last two lines resume of this occasion that "the full objective of the contest was reached by the outstanding amount of new membership," and permit me to add, "Insurance." But, here I go boasting again.

Of course, this sort of work for our SPJST should merit appreciative recognition from the top ranks of our Order, which recognition did not materialize, but, we all, and I mean all, had a very pleasant and good time anyway.

Gratifying is the mention by Sister Olexa of the address by Brother Charles Cerny, head organizer of the seventh district, from San Antonio. It certainly was a pleasure to hear his objective treatment of the policies of our SPJST and comparison of our Order with competition. Everyone I talked to agreed at his was the best address heard in a long time. His experience as agency manager for so many years is worth listening to. We surely are glad that Brother Cerny visited us on this festive occasion.

There is one as pect of this banquet

that should be pointed out in appreciation, and that is the management of the whole program by the two district organizers, Brothers Skrabanek and Vrla.

Before this banquet materialized, they made extensive preparations requiring some long auto trips and numerous long distance telephone calls, all at their own expense. But, the result of their careful planning and dilligent work was the best and most pleasing meeting of organizers these two districts ever had.

We not only had a good time, we also had a very educational time: Let's hope more meetings of that kind are in our future. The time and effort the& two brothers spent on this undertaking was at least partly, repaid by the appreciation and thanks of the organizers.

But, let's not forget one important thing that happened during this meeting; that is, the director and organizers of the Fifth District,. extended a hearty invitation to the organizers and members of the Third Di , tricl to attend a b anquet ink Houston, to be given-,in their honor sometime early next year.

So, though losers, we, have gained further in friendship and mutual admiration between these two districts. Just look at what you started out some four years ago, brother Sid Pokladnik!

Sister Olexa, in her narration on that banquet, also mentioned that the writer of this letter had some pertinent comment and that he called attention of the organizers to a report in the exerpts of a Supreme Lodge meeting held. the eleventh day of last April, published in our Vestnik on the fifteenth of May, announcing the intention of the Supreme Lodge to base all our future insurance business and all our plans on the 3 per cent Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table.

The comment was mainly on Brother Cerny's lecture, comparing the absolute safety of our insurance with financial difficulties of some other life insurers.

On this I commented, that such financial debacles are wholly impossible with the SPJST, pointing out the controls the membership of this Order excercises over the management of our Order and the interest our members take in our affairs. These .difficulties of some insurance companies are the direct result of negligence of the stockholders and also are a very eloquent warning to all fraternals not to relax their own controls or become indifferent to anything that may affect their order. By the way, have you heard lately that, any

drie,ld ay; 'Dee einber, -11, -1957 fraternal order was in financial difficulties? I have not!

As to the proposed change to that rather new Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table with .3 per cent interest assumption, this surely fell on interested ears, because after the meeting six organizers expressed to me their desire to find out more about the importance of these tables and the effect these tables and interest assumption of the insurer have on insurance rates.

Also, brother Vrla informed me that several organizers approached him on the same subject. They aLso wanted explanation to my statement that the lower interest the insurer pays on the insurers reserves, the more the insured must pay in rates.

This subject is rather comprehensive and can not be explained on one or two pages of our Vestnik. Up to January 1957 our Vestnik used to periodically contain valuable pointers on insurance and its problems; I wonder how many of our organizers miss these fine lectures. ' Mortality TableSand interest assumption are the very‘foundation' of insurance business. Study of these' "is very interesting and "giVes the student comprehension of the insurance 'btisiness.

There are several very interesting- yearly publications on this subject, such as the Handy Guide, of which I bought my first copy some months before the Ennis convention in 1932. Then there are; The Little Gern, The Unique Manual, Statistics of Fraternal Societies and Consolidated Chart, all of which you may find in my collection of insurance statistics.

It probably would be very interesting for some, of our organizers to read the comment on many of these books, disclosing the importance insurers are attaching to a study of these facts bringing almanacs. But, that would take much time and we shall leave it to the future.

With wishes of a very Merry Christmas and a. prosperous and healthy New Year for. everybody I am, Fraternally yours, FRANK B. STEINER )• • There is always someone worse off than yourself.

Mail 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 us, "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 time to take the following steps: Check 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. It you would like to include your Christma,s 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.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES LODGE 66, ELM MOTT, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters.

It was gratifying to see a larger than usual crowd at our meeting of Lodge No. 66 held Decen-gber 1st at Linden Hall. We will have to give credit to Brother Hosek and the wonderful publicity given this important annual meeting in the Vestnik.

There were so many decisions made and so much accomplished that I could nearly fill this issue of the Vestnik with this report. Since I don't believe that Editor Hosek would care for that, perhaps I'd better just list the more important things briefly.

Our members voted to order from the Supreme Lodge a standard form to be mailed to members who became delinquent in paying premiums. These are reminders to our members in order to keep them in good standing. Wanted all who were not at the meeting to know about this so they wouldn't feel that they were being singled out for reprimand should they receive one of these notices in the future.

Sister Libby Parma will need to know the name and age of each child (12 years or under) who will attend the Christmas party, Dec. 14th. It seems that even Santa Claus has to make a gift list so that no one will be overlooked.

Letters will be mailed to our members having children of that age asking for this information but should you plan to bring children of this age group to the party and your letter does not reach you for any reason, please contact Sister Libby (Mrs. Frank Parma).

There will be entertainment for everyone at this party — "42", musical games, youth program, dancing, etc. Make your plans to come and bring your family for an evening of fun.

Sister Rosemary Spence announced that the members are asked to come to the Hall Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 6:30 p.m. to help decorate for the Christmas season. As many members as can are urged to help in this undertaking. Some of the men will be needed to assist in• servicing the coolers.

Members celebrating birthdays this month are: Sisters LaNelle Ceska, Irene Reznicek, and Irene Janke; Brothers Christopher Spence, Carroll Simcik, Kenneth Koen, and Otto Eidson.

The following officers were elected: President — Edward Mazanec Vice-President — Alvin Reznicek Financial Secretary — Otto Hanus Recording Secretary — Rose Parma) (Sister Parma will also continue to

serve as Czech reporter).

Treasurer — Edwin Traywick Guide — John Simcik Youth Director — Libby Parma Trustees: Willie Korenek Frank Parma Frank Miller Otto Matus Roman Parma Lodge Physician — Dr. Frank Stani-1 slay • Parliamentarian — Monroe Janke, Sr. English Reporter—Rosemary Spence Members elected to serve on the Entertainment Committee are: Emma Ceska Otto Harms Antoine Mazanec Walter Poehls Libby Parma President Mazanec appointed the following committees: Auditing Committee: John Simcik, Willie Korenek, Edwin Norovec Sick Committee: Mary Simcik, Rose Parma, Roman Parma Grievance Committee: Emil Hanus, Otto Matus, Emma Ceska Delinquent Committee: Ed Traywick, Monroe Janke, Frank Miller Resolutions Committee: John Simcik, Otto Hanus, Stacey Kazda President Mazanec expressed his approval that our members had felt free to express themselves on the floor during the election but asked everyone, no matter whether he or she voted for or against the officers, to work with the officers during the coming year for the good of our Lodge and of the Order.

A delicious supper was served following the meeting and the fellowship period was enjoyed by all.

Don't forget the Christmas party. Our next regular meeting will be held January 5th at 2 p.m.

It has been a pleasure to serve as your Financial Secretary and English Reporter for the past year. I have made many new and good friends. Thank you for allowing me to serve in these capacities. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Now it remains to be landscaped to complete the drives and suroundings for this project the directors have no funds so it will be up to us brothers and sisters to donate what each one of us can to make this work possible.

Sometime ago a Plan was made and submitted to the directors and in turn to the Taylor Garden Club for approval, after several changes and suggestions it her finally been completed and it is now ready to be installed. Here is a short brief of the plan. We plan on using Pecan trees along drives and premises for both shade and later income from sale of pecans. It will be some time be roue these will grow big enough and until they do , we will plant pear trees in between for both beauty and income from sale of surplus fruit. Each wing will be beautified with 4 group plantings on trees and shrubs with a low hedge hiding the foundation in betv. een a Picnic grove and a flower garden for cut flowers will also be included, Each shrub or ornamental selected is the kind that will .take very little care and stand lots of abuse and lielect for a long time and still look beautiful. We have built a magnificent Rest Home and now let's plant it to complete this fine home.

In order to build the necessary concrete borders and properly plant its surroundings in an approved manner we will need something like $1800 and in order to do this work during the pro per planting season please send your contribution Now! I have just returned _born a tree buying trip and pecans are al mot sold out by every large pecan grower, I have been told that Pecans e re in a very short supply this season.

Please make your contributions to the SPJST REST HOME LANDSCAPE FUND and send them to Rt. 4, Box 236 Waco, Teens. Every contribution will be cred itee to you in our Vestnik each week, so please act now. When the work is completed we will have a bronze plaque made with the name of every contributor on it which will be placed on a stone on the 1, rounds where every visitor can see it for as long as the SPJST HOME

VESTNIK — WEST TEXAS will be there and I am sure everyone of us will be proud to have our name there so please act TODAY. We want to thank you in advance for any assistance that you can give us, and we assure you that we will use every pickle to the best advantage so that our REST HOME can proudly hold that bronze spire up in the clouds if there is anything left in the Sand after the landscaping is completed, w e will transfer the balance into the operational fund of the home.

1 Sentinel SOKOL NEWS FROM DALLAS The "Jiternice Dinner" was quite a success. The turnout was fine and the dinner was excellent. Credit goes out to Sister Valcik and her two assistants, Sisters Fitz and Nesuda for preparing the dinner There were other helpers too, but I will not mention their names as there were so many.

Qua?, Von My eight-year-old son has picked up a lot of "dirty words" about sex and elimination. I think he gets most of them from his playmates and perhaps from the comics he reads away from home. I am very careful of the comics he reads at home. Isn't there any way to stop a child from using such words except washing his mouth out with soap?

Answer: Even the old-fashioned soap and water treatment did not keep a child from using "dirty words" behind parents backs. All it did was convince him that he had better watch what he said near adults.

There are, however, two things you can do about this matter. First, be sure that your son has correct information about sex and elimination and that he has a wholesome attitude which emphasizes that they are normal functions of the body, not something to be ashamed of. Second, explain to him that the use of such words will create the impression that he is not a "nice boy" and that, therefore, it would be to his advantage to guard his language when people who might misunderstand are around. Knowing that he can use such words when his friends are using them will remove, any glamor they have for him

The Golden Spinning Wheel (CONTINUED)

Then Zloboha put on Dobrulifka'41'311 clothes and she and her mother qdde back to town in the carriage'and ; ficil body could tell that she wasn't,l'lptiuc':.brunka. In the palace the atterittaMei .,:ion whispered to each other that their') mistress was kinder to them at -", but they suspected nothing.• In the. meantime poor Dobrunka; was not quite dead, had been found s 6' a hermit and carried by hi:r. to a 'Cave-*''' She awoke to feel a kind hand sea/04'j ing her wounds and putting &Jill& Gre-ti. viving drops between her lips. Of coilble,, she could not see who it was, foe had no eyes. As she regained conseiaf5-;.:J1g ness she remembered what had hai5 *1=1 ed and began bitterly to upbraid het-in' natural mother and her cruel sister.

"Be quiet. Do not complain," a-low, voice said. "All will yet be well." "MAN'" can all be well," .wept. poor Dobri,ink "when I have no eyes and no feet;4, hands? I shall never again see 1.,t,he bright sun and green woods I shall'nevey again hold in my arms, by, beloved.po-,

Strana 24 bromil. Nor shall I be able to syin fine flax for his shirts! Oh, what did I ever do to you, wicked mother, or to you, cruel sister, that you have done this to me?''

The hermit went to the entrance of the cave and. called three times. Soon a boy came running in answer to the call.

"Wait here till I come back" the herMit said.

He returned in a short time with a golden spinning wheel in his arms. He said to the boy: "My son, take this spinning wheel to town to the king's palace. Sit down in the courtyard near the gate and if any one asks you for how much you will sell the wheel say `for two eyes,' Unless you are offered two eyes for it bring it back."

The boy took the spinning wheel and carried - it to town as the hermit directed. lie went to the palace and sat down in the courtyard near the gate, just as 7,1obolia and her mother were returning from a walk.

"Lock mother! What a gorgeous spinning wheel!" cried Zloboha cried. I could spin on that myself! Wait. I'll ask Whether it's for sale" She went over to the boy and asked him if he wiuld sell the spinning wheel.

"Yes," he said, "if I get what I want."

"What do you want?"

"I want two eyes."

"Two eyes?"

"Yes, two eyes. My father told me to accept nothing for it but two eyes. So I can not sell it for money."

The longer Zlobaha looked at the s pinning wheel the more beautiful it seenied to her and the more she wanted it. Suddenly she remembered Dobrunka's eyes that she had hidden away.

"Mother," she said, "as a queen I ought to have something no one else has.

When the king comes home he will want me to spin, and just think how lovely I shouid look sitting at that golden wheel.

Now we have those eyes of Dobrunka's.

Let's exchange them for the golden spinning wheel. We'll still have the hands and feet."

The - mother, who was as foolish as the daughter, agreed. So Zloboha got the eyes and gave them to the boy for the spinning wheel.

The boy hurried back to the forest and handed the eyes to the hermit. The old mon took them and gently put them into place. Instantly Dobrunka, could see.

The first thing she saw was the old jierrait himself with his tall spare figure and long white beard. The last rays of the setting sun shone through the opening of the cave and lighted up his

Vt STN :I. X — WEST, TEXAS grave and gentle face. He looked to Dobrunka like one of God's own saints.

"How can I ever repay you?" she said, "for all your living kindness? Oh, that I could cover your hands with kisses!"

"Be quiet, my child," the old man said.

"If you are patient all will yet be well."

He went out and soon returned with some delicious fruit on a wooden plate.

This he carried over to the bed of leaves and moss upon which Dobrunka was lying and with his own hands he fed Dobrunka as a mother would feed her helpless child. Then he gave her a drink from a wooden cup. Early the next morning the hermit again called three times and the boy came running at once. This time the hermit handed him, a golden distaff and said: (A distaff, boys and girls, sia cleft staff about three feet long on which, in the acient mode of spinning, wool or flax was wound,) "Take this disstaf and go to the palace. Sit down in the courtyard near the gate. If any one asks you what you want for the distaff, say two feet and don't exchange it for anything else."

Zloboha was standing at a window of the palace looking down into the courtyard when she saw the boy with a golden distaff.

"Mother!" she cried. "Come and see!

There is a boy again sitting near the gate and this time he has a golden disstaff."

Mother and daughter at once went out to question the boy.

"What do you want for the distaff?"

Zolboha asked.

"Two eet," the boy said.

"Two feet?"

"Yes, two feet."

"Tell me, what will your father do with two feet?"

"I don't know. I never ask him what he does with anything. But whatever he tells me to do, I do. That is why I can't exchange the distaff for anything but two feet."

"Listen, mother," Zloboha said, "now that I have a golden spinning wheel, I ought to have a golden distaff to go with it. You know we have those two feet of Dobrunka's hiden away. What if I gave them to the boy? We shall still have Dobrunka's hands."

"Well, do as you please," the old woman said.

So Zlcboha went and got Dobrunka's feet, wrapped them up, and gave them to the boy in exchange for the disstaff.

Delighted with her bargain, Zloboha went to her chamber and the boy hurried back to the forest.

Diets high in milk are almost sure to contain enough calcium — needed all during life for healthy bones — and enough of the vital B-vitamin riboylavin.

Yet, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 1955 Food Consumption Survey showed that nearly three families in ten had diets too low in calcium, usually because they were short in milk.

Thirty Days Behind The Iron Curtain (Continued) - Monday morning. -- Got up it o'clock thnt morning and had (-eirly breakfast. When I came down, 'dad and Tcny Elajek were having their breakfast early also,' as Tony was leaving that morning for his home. He had . his suitcase all ready and immediately after breakfast we started walking to train depot. We were going to the ,Ma-aryk. s Nadrazi and it was a nice walk . from our hotel. oar way, to the, station, I looked .around and I saw a one horse drawn hearse. I was told that these aren't msed anymore, but once in-a-while they are: driven just to show them off. My ,luck was that I didn't have My camera and missed -taking an unusual picture. , ; ,Mitisaryk's Nadrazi is a huge railroad 0:,14.jon and packed with people. Tony ought his ticked for his destination „finch than we went to find the track that ,.the would be at. Never saw so many people waiting to get on a train. .Atutong the people I saw many young .men in uniforms and several high ranking „ officers. Also there were many of the Mongolian race among the crowd.

This race — is sent to Prague to study .and they are exchange students from Mongolia. The Mongolians were seen throughout Prague. I decided that I would sr out around and see what I could get for Tony for him to take on the train for lunch. I bought cookies, candy and rohlik and salami sandwich, he was very pleas-cc:I, when I handed hia- the package. It wasnt long that the train arrived and that was the last time dad n'1 I sow Tony: Tony on our way back to the betel. we took our time and "store discussing" the large buildings. We both looked owed at the structures that were built fifty, hundred or more years ago. I enjoyed this walk with dad, as we kept on - talking and kept walking than through the park and on our way back to t h e hotel. As I arrived back at the hotel. I saw Mrs. Horak and also Mrs. Holub (Dr. Holub wife) of e lious,ton . Mrs. Holub didn't make the trip with us, but it was a pleasure to meet he r at the hotel.-I-beak,, of Dallas) and I decided that we'd go shopping . as. she wanted to some filmS. I Walked with her to Mitt: e I bought some and she bought seve •ol rolls so she could show qiC"pictures to liar grandchildren. Than Weh went and shopped' for "garnets." ii of us bought rings, pendants, etc. around till noon.- We then . .„ e : browsed decided that we wand not go to our 'II:WI for lunch, but glint we would eat

By Mrs. Betty Jurica at "the Automat." Here at the "Automat" one can buy just about anything on e desires to eat. The place was crowded but the food smelled so good that we decided to buy hot dogs, (parky) rolilik3- and mustard. We both were looking around for a place to eat and my luck was I saw Mr. and Mrs. Steve Strmiska of Corpus Christi and their niece and her children. The y asked us to eat with them and we accepted. I asked Mr. Strmiska if he would do me a favor and buy me a glass oc beer and he did.

Everytirne we passed by the Automat, it was always crowded and we were told that it was three stories high.

After lunch we went shopping again.

I bought more records and Mrs. Horak bought souveniers for her grandchildren.

We fooled around awhile and than Mrs. Horak went back to the hotel, while I went to the Narodni Museum. There are just too many things of interest to be seen here and there wasn't that much time. I will not describe this museum as it would be hard to do. By this time it was late evening, and time for supper.

After supper, I at in the hotel and several of us held a conversation. Mrs. Schnell and I decided that in the morning (Tuesday) we would take our camera and take more pictures of Prague.

July 9. -- We were up early, only to hear the paller of rain, but it wasn't long before the sun shone again, So here we go (no rain coats) all full of hopes of getting good pictures of Prague. As every one remembers at that time it was a great time for many in Czechoslovakia.

The city was being decorated fm the arrival of Krusch ev Bulaanin and others of the Connintrit Patty from Russia. on every window there was the sickle and the hammer (Russian Emblem).

Czech and Russian flags were seen evcrywhere. The bunting was draped from the windows to the street below (these were verylong), also the motiff used, the emblem of Russia and the Czech flag, red, white and blue.

The city was very colorful looking, no matter what direction one looked.

Just as soon os we come to the Narodni Museu ,D, it began to rain. So here we go on the run again and from door to door till we made it back to the ho tel. Helen put on her over shoes, rain coat, cap and I got my rain coat and hood and out again we left the hotel (in the rain) to venture further from the hotel to see what was going on in other part y of Prague. It rained of and

on several times but we kept on going, By now the streets were slosby and my sandals were all nirty. When I say this was a mess, I mean i t was plenty bad.

You see coal is used for fuel, and the soots are all over the roof tops, so when the rain fell, the water was black. The streets were awful looking by now, water running everywhere. - We walked for few hours, and when bile sun would peek a little, I'd take pictures of the decorated buildings. Both of as noticed that there was a large crowed in front of a hotel. We looked up and down the building and it was the head q uarters; of the big wigs that have arrived in Prague. All of them were well dress/d and all had a ribbon pinned on the Nipels of their coats. There also were words, such as these in large letter on the buildings: Socialismus, Mir, Kruschev, Pravda (Truth). There were in large letters and could be seen from far.

Many of my pictures, didn't take beerase the City was covered in a haze, but at least I'll have remembrance what the city of .Prague looked _4,ike, for this bi g occasion. was also told that the mext night the city, would be called "Pro ha Sv(tla.) Prague in lights. All of the merchants had to display the Russian Emblem in the windows, hang bunting and flags for this occasion. I'm sure many of you know by now that only 8 percent of the population are communists but they overule the 92 per cent. One does what he is told or else.

The, rain gave the flags a droopy look.

We also took time and counted the flags to see if the sickle and the hammer were used more or the Czech flag,, they were about fifty fifty.

In the late afternoon, I took a walk through the park and up to the Malin' Nadrazi. There I saw a colorful display (All red in the background). A little later I found out that this is where the party would arrive at: The area was roped off, and the loud speakers were being set up in several places. I felt much out of place in this area and to think that so much was being done for this occasion. I walked around and so one seemed to care as they were busy getting everything organized.

The city of Prague has a population of one million and is very large. I just thought and began to think of the yards and yards of bunting that was used for this celebration, and how some people have hardly any clothing and little food and yet all this has to be done. What a waste of money and time, but nothing can be said.

Wednesday, December 11, 1957

On December 15, 1791, the first ten amendments — known today as the Bill of Rights — having been ratified by three-fourths of the states, became part of the Constitution of the United States The Bill of Rights grew out of the criticism of the Constitution as drafted by the Convention of 1787. Many delegates contended that it did not sufficiently protect the rights of the individual; as a result, the first session of the First Congress, in September 1789, approved 12 amendments to the Constitution and submitted them to the states for ratification. Two, relating to the appointment of Representatives and the pay of Congressmen, were rejected. The other ten, guaranteeing such rights as freedome of speech and religion, peaceful assembly, the right to petition the government, ownership of private property and trial by jury, were duly ratiifed. The Bill of Rights is one of the bulwarks of our democracy.

The American "Bill of Rights" consisting of the first ten amendments to our federal constitution, all adopted in 1791, specifies in some detail a number of basic rights of the individual citizen.

Unaltered by subsequent amendments and jealously guarded by the courts, these privileges must still be respected by our governing bodies today.

Among the most familiar of our constitutional guarantees are those relating to freedom of religion, speech, and of the press. The same article protects the rights of peacable assembly and the privilege of petitioning the government for redress of grievences.

Another amendment secures our persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and specifies that no warrants shall issue but upon proper cause, and unless supported by oath or affirmation.

The due process of law amendment en compases not one but several guarantees. Every American is secured against meing placed twice in legal jeopardy for the same offense; against being compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case; and against having his private property taken from public

VES TN t K WEST, TEXAS use without just compensation.

He is also secured against being held for trial for capital (death penalty) or other infamous crime, unless upon a przsentment or indictment of a grand jury. And, of course, no person may be deprived of life, liberty or property withcut orderly court procedures, on due process of law.

The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, in the locality where the crime was committed, the right to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, and the rights to compell attendance of defense witnesses and to have the assistance of defense counsel in all criminal prosecutions are secured by another section of the "Bill of Rights."

Excessive bail and fines, and cruel and unusual punishments, are prohibited in Amendment VIII. Other articles insure the right to bear arms and ban quartering of soldiers in private homes during peace time.

Then, to make quite clear to our governing bodies the underlying intent of the preceding provisions, the Ninth Amendment states: "The enumeration in th.e Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

The . Tenth Amendment further emprahasizes this basic theory by providing: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Thus, that fundamental philosophy expressed in the Declaration of Independence, that men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that "to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," has been carried forward into the highest law of our land. ) • 4 • (

Farmers And The Cost-Price Squeeze A speaker at the recent 64th annual convention of the Farm Equipment Institute said that the industry's business this year will average out distinctly better than last.

One reason he cited is the breaking up of the big drouth which plagued much of the West and Southwest for many years. Another is of deeper significance. Speaking of the cost-price squeeze in which farm equipment customers found themselves, he • pointed out that they are using with consider-

Strum 27 able success the same method to help offset it that industry is using. To quote him directly: "They are finding, more and more, that buying cost-saving modern power equipment is truly an investment and that prices received for their products are not nearly as important as the difference between that price and their cost of production."

In other words, even though farm equipment prices, like all other prices, have risen substantially, mechanization is far and away the most successful means of cutting farm operating over head. The equipment makers have done an outstanding job in designing and building equipment which' has a greater use value to the farmers. And, though this may come as a surprise Ito many, they have also done an outstdnding job in keeping "prices down. Since 1947-49 — a period commonly used as a base for such measurements — wholesale prices of farm equipment have risen 32.2 per cent. In the same period, the industry's hourly wage costs have increased by more than 80 per cent and steel prices have gone up an average of almost 70 per 'cent. 'Phat is a record the industry is entitled to be proud of.

SAFETY STRESSED AT CHRISTMAS Church fires in recent years emphacize the need for special safety precautions during the Christmas season.

In Caribou, iVie., • Christmas trees placed around an altar in the auditorium of a church there fed the blaze. They were ignited when a small girl knocked over a tree which fell on lighted candles nea rby.

In Billings, Mont., an attendant ligthing candles accidentally set fire to a large velvet curtain behind the altar.

Fire quickly spread to a combustible fiber-board ceiling.

In upper New York. State fire burned out the interior cf a church after starting in a Christmas creche at the right of the altar. Through the cause was not detern-,ined, the paper and other cornbusta.ble decorations fueled the blaze.

And in Missouri, Christmas trees placed along the altar rail fed a blaze of undetermined origin.

Because of the extreme combustibility of evergreen trees, there is a considerable hazard in setting up a Christmas tree anywhere in the church, the National- Board of Fire,Underwriters.

If a tree is set up, however, the local fire department should be cousulted as to suitable methods of flameproofing.

Location of the Christmas tree is of vital importance. Do not let it block an exit, or set it up near a stairway or elevator which would provide an updra ft. In addition the following precautions should be taken: Buy a fresh tree and store it outdoors until actually needed. When setting it up, stand it in a tub of water and brace it well. Keep it away from sources of heat. Use only flameproofed decorations or those made of noncombustible materials. Lighting sdts and ex-tension cords should be in good condition and carry the UL label, which means that Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., have tested them for fire and shock hazards.

Bulbs should hang free and not rest on needles. Do not leave tree lights burning when unattended. An inspection should be scheduled each day by someone of authority to determine whether the tree has dried and become brittle and should be left up for a longer time or be discarded. Never use candles on the tree.

All draperies and decorations used at any time in any part of the church should be properly flame proofed. The local fire department can give advice concerning flameproofing methods. A pamphlet entitled "Flameproofing of Textiles," published by the National Bu-

reau of Standards, gives a number of formulas for flameproofing solutions.

Flameproofing is also done commercially by many laundries and dry-cleaners, with fire department approval.

Although flameproofed fabrics have a certain degree of resistance when exposed to a source of ignition, safety measures should be followed, never-the less. Candles should never be placed where drapries or decorations can blow over them. In addition, if candles are Wed, take further precautions by always setting them in sturdy candelabra which will not tip over and seeing that every candle is extinguished when the service is over.

Combustible decorations are on the list of special fire hazards of churches.

Their use for flimsy costumes, Christmas creches„ canopies and decorations for social functions is evidence that the fundamentals of fire prevention are not fully understood, C'hurch oficials should scrutinize their present practices, first for the purpose of reducing the use of combustible material to a minimum, and second, to protect that which must be retained in the ritual so that it does not present a serious fire hazard, the National Board says.

Suggestions include the use of flameproofed cloth, clothing and decorations, treatment of both temporary and permanoent interior woodwork with fire retardant paint, erection of Christmas trees and crecheS on church lawns, and where this is impracticable, keeping them small. Open flames and temporary wiring. obviously, should not be permitted near combustible material, and where special illumination is required spot lights should be connected to permanent fixtures at safe distances. ) • et• • (
