FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK qm, An Uneven Race!

THE MAGNITUD, 0 Whet has fraternalism done and what can fraternalism do for its members, their community and their country?"

Why do you and I belong?

Why have we maintained our interest all through life?

Do you believe that you can live a fine, unselfish and prosperous life without association with others and without contributing some good to your neighbors, your fellow-men and your country?

Why do all the States in the Union and the Federal Government exempt all Fraternal Insurance Associations from income tax and other forms of taxes?

The answer to these questions are evidently as follows: Fraternalism generally is recognised by our lawmakers as beneficial to our citizenship, it affords an opportunity for our citizens to live together in harmony; opportunity to serve their community, city and state, and to generally make better citizens.

Our nation and its various states have recognized fraternal organizations as public benefactors, as necessary component parts of a great democracy. Fraternal organizations teach democracy, religion, patriotism and loyalty. Many members who have taken an active interest and have accepted appointments committees and have been sufficiently interested to aspire to an office in our Lodge or other fraternal organization have become business executives, governors of various states, senators, judges or other high public officials.

Men and women in a great democracy such as ours, where each individual has the opportunity of reaching the top in the business world of his chosen business or profession has been afforded his opportunity through some Fraternal Association. Business, whether it is commercial or professional, must first come from those with whom you are acquainted or from favorable recommendations by your acquaintances and friends.

It has been and can be used as an effective means of making new friends, new acquaintances, new customers, new clients and new patients. Fraternalism

on

offers to all young men and women in business and professional life, these opportunities and advantages, together with the, opportunity to demonstrate to others their leadership; opportunity to develop confidence in themselves and to prove to others their sincerity and ability in their respective business or profession. mY.•(

L y Durance Risk The farmer as a life insurance risk haz for many years received favorable consideration. However, his daily work has been changed by the use of power driven farm machinery and rural electrification. AlsO, many farmers when their seasonal duties on the farm are over will take a part-time job in trucking, construction, lumbering and factories. These other activities of the farmer may make some difference in the underwriting of the applicant.

The results published by the National Safety Council give some rather interesting information on comparative hazards in various industries. For example,' the wholesale and retail trades had 15 deaths per 100,000 workers; the manufacturing industry, 17 deaths per 100,-: 00 workers; the service industries, 18 deaths per 100,000 workers; public utilities, 31 deaths per 100,000 workers; and farming, 52 deaths per 100,000 workers.

Only one of the major industries, that of transportation, has a higher death rate which was 53 deaths per 100,000 workers. ®" •( BROTHERS AND SISTERS

While labor unions monopolies ride the rapid wage-price escalator, the rest of us are falling farther and farther behind in the race to keep up with rising prices. The rising cost of labor, without a corresponding increase in productivity — the unit per manhour production rate — is providing inflation with its principal upward thrust.

The American consumer has suffered from increased price levels resulting from the power of monopolistic unions to exact wage gains unrelated to productivity. If the unions are able to force through higher and higher wage demands, without regard for productivity, the economic well-being of the country will be most certainly threatened. ) 4, (

Keep Records This Year SAVE TAX HEADACHES NEXT YEAR There is no time like the present to start a procedure that will aid you with next year's income tax calculations.

That is to maintain a record of your income and outgo. Such a record can be simple and brief but it may save you tax dollars and many hours of work in filling out tax forms.

The average man who works for a wage or salary doesn't have to concern himself about keeping books and records — at least •so he thinks. His employer keeps a reliable record of his earnings and Uncle Sam looks primarily to the employer for information on his earnings and for the withholding of various taxes out of his wages.

But whether or not you run a business of your own, you have a partner who each year is claiming a substantial interest in your personal income. And the law requires that you keep books for him in case he ever asks for an accounting.

Perhaps you own your home or are paying it out in installments. It's likely that some day you may sell that house.

When you do you'll want to be able to prove whether you realized a gain or a los,s on that sale. If a gain in capital resulted, it probably will add to your income tax. If a loss was suffered, it probably will reduce your income tax.

You may have made certain capital improvements on the house while you lived in it, but unless you can show what out-of-pocket expense you incurred while making them, you may not get credit for them in your cost basis so as to prove that you had no capital gain or that you had a loss.

Or perhaps you received that little summer cottage on the lake as a gift from your father. If you ever sell it, you should be able to show Uncle Sam not only the cost of improvements you made on it while you owned it, but also what its fair market value was at the time Dad gave it to you.

It may be that you are receiving an annuity on an insurance policy. If so. do you know how much that policy costs you and how much of that cost you have recovered tax-free to date?

My dear Sisters and Brother readers: The Editor would like to presume that the Christmas issue and the New Year's issue of your Vestnik found its readers enjoying the many interesting and informative articles presented therein for their reading pleasure. There were: Christmas and New Year's greetings from our Supreme Lodge Officers to our fraternal family, the Woman's Nook, contributions from our fraternal youth leaders and their respective youth, information on our S. P. J. S. T. Rest Home and a variety of other timely articles.

With last week's issue of the Vestnik, your Editor embarks on his second Year of editing your weekly paper and judging from the favorable expressions which he received from his many friends and hosts of new friends which he treasures no end, his assembling material for publication, toil into the wee hours each week, bore satisfaction among the membership. He takes this means to thank you all.

A great part of the success of the Editor's first year goes to our wonderful sisterhood, who truly kept both language sections of your Vestnik so newsy and colorful with their contributions which the Editor gratefully acknowledges. This grateful acknowledgment comes not only from your Editor, but from the whole fraternal family who seek the Vestnik as a medium of communication with the whole SPJST order and its activities.

Strana 15 to our activities in the brotherhood and the use of appropriate cuts for the different departmental headings in your Vestnik, which were liked by all.

Once more our thanks for the expressed interest and willingness to assist the Editor wherever possible. Please be assured that the editing of your Vestnik in harmonious accord gladdens all of our hearts as well as ultimately such accord fills the till of our fraternal order with new membership and insurance. We are grateful to everyone for his or her coperation in this work, and which work testifies to true and unmercenary brotherhood in our fraternal order Forehearance and temperance in our demenor will be our badge and our motivation for further endeavor for the growth of our SPJST. We are sincerely looking forward to your continued good will and friendly o: cooperation, sisters and brothers. It It would please the Editor immensel y if those of you who so far have idly stood by, would come forth with a nice letter for our readers for we know there are many among you who write well and interestingly. Tell us something of your community and its activities. The whole Vestnik family of readers will be look7 ing for your letters. Don't fail them.

Let's also strive in the year 1958, to work together in true spirit of fraternal' brotherhood.

As the old year comes to an end and we are standing on the threshold of 1958, we look back at our accomplishments and wonder what happened to all the things we were going to do this year.

This year was one of my most trying years I ever experienced, I had so many things planned and started, many of which are still unfinished, but I hope to have them for you before long.

The new rate books, for example, are being worked up by our new actuary, the new all English certificates are also being prepared, and waiting for approval by the State Insurance Commissioner, and many other things too numerous to mention, as I stated before, this was a trying year for me, and I know how true the old saying is, experience is the best teacher, My greatest wish is that I will be able to accomplish more for you and our members this coming year.

This report that I am enclosing is incomplete, since we close the books on the 25th and we now have about $130,000.00 of insurance being processed that was written in 1957.

I will have another report for you as soon as we receive all the applications from Dr. Leshikar and the confidential reports on some that are still on the waiting list. This report will show exactly how much insurance was written by each organizer and each district. We do know at this time that Districts No 3, 5 and 7 have doubled their sales this year. Congratulations and my sincere thanks to you, both district and local organizers, I know you had to work hard to reach your goal and I want you to know that it is deeply appreciated.

To you in the other four districts, I also want to thank you for your ,effort, you have some very good and capable workers among you too, but I realize that in some localities the times were hard and it was not easy to write new insurance, my plea to you is that you do not get discouraged, but stay with us and we will try our utmost to help you write more insurance this year.

Death Claim No. 6458. Brother William In conclusion may I say that it was F. Proza, typewriter repairman, mema pleasure serving and working with you Death Claim No. 6445.

Third and Seventh District Doubles Sales for 1957

Our Youth'

Junior members like to hold their own meetings. At these meetings the youth have an opportunity to exemplify their club ritual as well as to present folk dances and other special talents which they may have. These meetings are usually held during vacation times and a picnic and sports program with prizes is held in connection with it. This gives the Juniors a full day of activity with plenty of fun and relaxation.

perience has always been that we may point to them with pride. Again I would emphasize that you must have the propel. leadership. How can we get the proper leadership for our youth? We can get it by going out among our members and selecting and training the ones who will lead our Youth. )•

The Moon and Our Weather Does the moon really exert San influence on crops? Should certain crops be planted according to the phases of the moon?

The belief that the moon affects the weather and that crops should be planted according to its phases is largely discredited today by astronomers — though many hold faithfully to the belief.

The moon does exert a powerful influence on the tides and on certain earthly functions, but it is not now thought to exert any appreciable influenece on our daily weather.

The moon, interestingly, is the earth's only satellite. Some of the other eight planets we know of have more than one satellite. Jupiter, the largest planet, has 12 moons, and three of the planets have no satellites.

A halo around the moon indicates rain is on the way.

We held 'an open forum to discuss problems of Organizers and worked out suggestionli toward improving By-Laws and regulations pertaining to Organizational work and for the benefit of our Order in 'General.

Arhong other things discussed, it was unanimously recommended by all 13 Orgftnizers present that we request the following two changes in By-Laws: Change Article 71 to permit Organizersfh secure applications for insurance on 'Non-Medical basis up to and including the amount of $5,000.00 who are not more' than 45 years of age. Also, in the same Article, permit Organizers to secure aPplications on Non-Medical basis up to and including $3,000.00 who are not More than 50 years of age.

ACTION NEEDED IN WASHINGTON Facts which have been revealed in official Washington which have made it quite apparent that immediate action is necessary by the Administration if the United States is not to run a serious risk of being overtaken by disaster in late 1959 or 1960.

The estimates of the experts, and intelligence sources who have been checking on the missiles and antimissiles programs of the United States, and Russian progress in this sphere, is that Russia will have the capability of launching an accurate ICBM attack on this country in something over 18 months.

Moreover, the prospect is that the United States cannot build and prepare an adequate anti-missile defense before 1961 or 1962. Therefore a period of maximum danger will be passed in late 1959 and in 1960.

It should be pointed out clerely to the Arnerican people that this country's defense industry is highly vulnerable. No dispersal program has been carried out since World War II and, instead, defense industries have been concentrated to a even greater degree. As a result, a nuclear attack on this country would smash most of our industrial potential.

The above opinions are not just those of the editor but constitute the considered evaluation of key figures in Washington and have been impressed upon President Eisenhower himself, and the National Security Council.

Women's Nook West, Texas Dear Girls: This second day in the new year, finds me wanting to go out into the garden to dig among the plants, but while its sunny its too cold, so, instead I'm coming into your home through our Vestnik to chat a moment while you relax from getting the family and home back into order and its normal routine after the excitement of Christmas and then the New Year's celebrations which were held in a great many of our lodges. After all the hubbub, I too, welcome the normalcy again.

While in Waco window shopping and visiting the White Sales that go on in January for bed linen and towels, some places were offering rosebushes waxed and balled up in wood shavings for sale.

Trees 'of various varieties too, were being offered now.

Between now and February 15th. is a good time to prune your fruit trees and set out those replacements in your fruit trees. It is also a good time to start pruning old growth on your plants in the flower garden, and hedges. If you have room for a climbing rose in your garden, do give the New Blaze Climbing Rose (red) consideration for the honor of turning your fence into a mass of color this string. It blooms some during all the summer but becomes a solid mass in the spring. The new Blaze will prove a grateful rose for your money and care.

0 yes, those seed catalogues are coming in. Time to dream and to order those seeds while the stock is plentiful.

Those of you who have house plants which you are holding over for transplanting outside when weather permits, your greatest problem is their care the next two or three months until you can put them outside in the ground. While they will require as much sun as possible during the short dull days ahead, there are several other things which you must watch to be sure your plants come through in good condition. Watering is of utmost importance. Plants

VSTNK K® WEST, TEXAS usually will require less water during the cold months than the wanner ones, however, being inside where the rooms are heated the evaporation is great.

Check daily to be sure your plants do not get too dry. Do not water unless the soil feels dry to -your touch. This daily care will keep you dirt gardeners happy until we can all get to digging in the garden again, When you water house plants, do not get water on the foliage and use tepid water. The soil should be thoroughly soaked at each watering, The best method to do this is to dunk the pot with plant into your sink up to the rim for a thorough soaking and letting it chain Off the surplus on the drainboard before brin ging them back to their place in the sunlight. If you have many plants to water, time can be saved by placing them into your bathtub and soakin g them in that manner. Only occasionlly is it good to spray the foliage with tepid water to remove dust and discourage insects. About twice a month. if you feed the plants, only once a month with water soluble plant food. However, this should be the dormant season for your plants, a time to rest, and growth should not be encouraged. Then too, remember that plants grow toward the sun and unless you turn them, they will grow One sided, Drafts will cause the leaves on your house plants to burn or wilt.

Repotting is necessary in. the spring just before plants start growing again, for those plants that will not be set out in your garden.

Mealy bugs and red spiders are enemies of house plants and need to be watched. By simply washing the foliage in tepid water will discourage this pest, but if infestation does start, use a mild soap suds to wash foliage, but do not rinse it off.

Your Editor is about to start a Czech love story in the Vestnik. Now is the time for those of you who can understand Czech to brush up on your reading of the language. It is a wonderful story this "IICite' Stehlibek", of a schoolteacher in Czechoslovakia 50 years back, of his trials and tribulations, and describes the village life of these sturdy Czech people, and the three beautiful loves in this one man's life. It is a story that will hold your interest until the end and I suggest that you who can, keep up with reading the installments in each issue as they come out. You will be amazed how your Czech reading will pick up and you will have had an enjoyable time reading about this man's fate as a teacher, lover and husband.

I'm sure our older Czech sisters will relive some of their youth at some Of these village functions. For you American

Strana 19 born deScendants it will be love story with lots of appeal.

I'm also gladden by the report that our gc'od sister Vytopil of Bryan who was hurried right smack in the middle of Christmas to the hospital, is better.

We all wish for her continued recovery.

With the bad months ahead of us, now would be the ideal time for our Youth Directors to map out plans for youth activity so that you would be well organized and acquainted with each other before the beautiful weather sets in where activities such as hikes, picnics, ball games, hay rides, box suppers, skating, swimming etc. can be enjoyed. Let's not neglect our young folks during the next three months!

To or good sisters, may we ask your continued wonderful contributions to your Vestnik this 1958, to make it as much, as if not more, as interesting as last year's reading. Your letters made us aware of our big state, our widely separated lodges over it. It made us aware 9f you as individuals in these far away lodges and of our wonderful czech folka and their desecndants who belonged to them. You brought so much joy and pleasure in your letters to us all in the Vestnik. Let's keep those letters coming too, for their precious message of remembering us, of your Christian love for our fraternal sisterhood.

May the year 1958 find us, hardy, courageous of heart to face whatever may present itself; to further the welfare of our families and our fraternal order.

Please forgive me, if my letter is lenghty today.

With best wishes to you all, if you have to drive, drive carefully; and like the song "Stay as sweet as you are" and lovely too.

Sincerely and fraternally, The Editor's wife.

P. S. We have just received a wonderful report that the Seventh District went "Over The Top." Congratulations!

It sure does make us happy. We knew all along that you in Seventh District could make it, if you just would, and we held our thumb for you.

Fraternally, Mrs. A. A. Svacek TEEN-AGE CLUB IN ENNIS, TEXAS Now that the holidays are over and there doesn't seem to be any prospect of having another holiday any time in the near future, it seems that we will just have to make up our minds to settle down to going back to school and also back to work. But it certainly was enjoyable while it lasted, and I'm wishing every one a happy New Year.

Our small teen age club is continuing to grow, considering that it was Organized only a few months ago. It seems that if an opportunity is extended to our young folks, it thrills them to be able to havo s e ine place to go and just have a good time. And this is exactly one of the reason g why these clubs are being organized.

So now with the New Year in, we have great plans to make this club the best yet, and there are many things that will be done, so all of you youngsters keep coming to the National Hall, and the main thing that yea don't want to forget, is -- Bring Your Friends! because I know they enjoy having a good time, just as you do.

We have had several parties so far, each one of which seemed to be enjoyed

VESTNt X — WEST, TEXAS by all. Then we have also had a very nice Christmas party, at which we didn't actually have a very large program, because, the members wanted to go caroling instead, and since so many of them had Christmas programs in school and church, this seemed to be the best thing to do.

The parents and children met at the hall Tuesday Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m., and after everyone had arrived, several of the fathers furnished their cars for the carolers, and they left in a gay festive mood. They caroled at pre-determined homes, and after an hour of caroling they returned to the hall, where they sang White Christmas to the parents.

Afterwards, a small program followed, then exchange of Christmas gifts and Santa also distributed his packages to all. Then when the call, "Let's Eat" was heard, no one wasted any time in partaking of the very delicious sweets, which the mothers had prepared. Hot chocolate and coffee was also served.

This party was also enjoyed by the parents and I am sure that every one went home full of Christmas Cheere.

Since this club was organized, we have had quite a bit of expense, so consequently, we also have to combine work with fun, and determine just how we can make a little extra money, to finance our expenses. The club has their own officers, and at a recent meeting, it was decided that the Teen Age Club would sponsor a "Mardi Gras Ball," on Shrove Tuesday. It has been the custom for many years to have a Mardi Gras ball at the National Hall. Perhaps for the past 15 or 18 years, this has been an annual affair. So it will be again this year. However, if everything turns out right,it will be a bigger and better affair than ever before. So all of you start planning now, and also start planning your costume, for I'm sure that there will be some handsome prizes awarded.

Our next meeting and party will be Friday night January 10th at 7:30 so let's all plan on attending and having a little fun. We will have a short business meeting, a few games and then you can dance to your hearts content. And bring your friends.

See you soon.

SPJST Rest Home OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME Wichita Falls, Tex. Those of you who have not seen our home, have missed a great deal. No Hotel in Texas is nicer and that's saying a great deal.

We are short of money We anticipated donations to come up to $20.000, but less than $15.000 came.

It seems that we have enough money to pay for the building, but the furniture account is short the drives to and around the home cost $375.00 being gravel, if you know the Taylor black land, on rainy days, there would be no chance to get in or out.

"Managers Home" Sooner or later we will have to build a, home for our manager, for the people at Austin tell us, that if we don't, our manager would become a candidate for a mental institution.

"Nloucka Fund" This fund should be greatly increased, because, if we are to take care of those who can't pay full charge, we must have help from this fund.

"Our Price Charge" Before you criticize our charge of $100 per month investigate others, that their charg es are about $125.00 to $150.00 and the guests are not housed in a fire proof home, nor do they have central heathing systems.

Donation of this and that Someone donated a very beautiful quilt and other articles. In my opinion this party will never find the quilt, because it will be covered with counterpin, which are all alike in all rooms, you see the furniture and furnishings harmonize.

"Plaques" There will he about forty of these, and they will cost six dollars each, that is if they are all alike, but as some of the donors want this and that on it and some want it in Czech, opinions at our directors meeting, doubt was expressed that we could -get them done in Czech.

"Caravans" May I suggest, to the officers of a local lodge or to the organizator, to organize trips to the home and after you have been there five minutes you will be stepping high. About six inches off the ground saying, "What a Wonderful Organization I belong to Organizator bring your prospects, you se'l them there.

Children's. Youth Club The Golden Godmother (An Old Czech Fairy Tale) There was once a wealthy farmer named Lukas who was so careless in the management of his affairs that thehe came a when all of his property was gone and he had nothing left but one old tumbled down cottage. Then when it was too late he realized how foolish he had been.

He had always prayed for a child but during the years of his prosperity God had never heard him. Now when he was so poor that he had nothing to eat, his wife gave birth to a little daughter.

He looked at the poor unweiccmed little stranger and sighed, for he didn't know how he was going to take care of it.

The first thing to be thought about was the christening. Lukas went to the wife of a laborer who lived nearby and ABOUT THE "REST HOME" asked her to be godmother. She refused Wharton, Texas because she didn't see that it would do Dear Brother Hosek and Readers: her any good to be godmother to a Because I was down with the flu for child of a man as poor as Lukas. one week, I wasn't able to write an ar"You see, Lukas, what happens to a ticle on the Rest Home for our Vestnik.

Wednesday,sTanuary wealthy. I'm sure she hasn't forgotten that I was gOdmother to her child. Go and ask her if she will be godmother to mine."

"I don't think she will," Lukas answered, "but I'll ask her."

With a heavy heart he went by the fields and the barns that had once been his own and entered the house of his old friend the burgomaster.

"God bless you, neighbor," he said to the burgomaster's wife. "My wife sends her greetings and bids me tell you that God has given us a little daughter whom she wants you to hold at the christening."

The burgomaster's wife looked at him and laughed in his face.

"My dear Lukas, of course I should like to do this for you, but times are hard. Nowdays a person needs every penny and it would take a good deal to help such poor beggars as you. Why don't you ask someoneelse? Why have you picked me out?"

"Because my wife was godmother to your child."

"Oh, that is it, is it? What you did for me at that time was a loan, was it? And now you want me to give you back as much as you es]ve me, eh? I'll do no such thin g! If I were as generous as you used to be, I'd soon go the way you have gone. No! 1 shall not walk one step toward that ch•istening."

Without answering her, Lukas turned and went home in tears.

"You see, dear wife," he said when he got there, "it turned out as I knew it would. But don't be discouraged, for God never entirely forsakes any one.

Give me the child and I myself will carry it to the Christening and the first ,person I meet I shall take for godmother."

Weeping all the while, the wife wrapped the baby in a piece of old skirt and placed it in her husband's arms.

On the way to the chapel, Lukas came to a crossroads where he met an old woman.

"Grandmother," he said, "will you be godmother to my child?" And the explained to her how everybody else had refused on account of his poverty and how in desperation he had decided to ask the fir s t person he met. "And so, dear g • andmother," he concluded, "I am asking you."

"Of course I'll be godmother," the old woman said. "Here, give me the dear wee thing."

So Lukas gave her the child and together they went into the chapel.

As they arrived the priest was just ready to leave, The sexton hurried up to him end whispered that a christening party was coming.

"Who is it?" he asked, impatiently.

WEST, TEXAS

"Oh, it's only that good-for-nothing of a Lukas who is poorer than a church mouse."

The godmother saw that the sexton was whispering something unfriendly, so she pulled 'out a shinning ducat from her pocket, stepped to the priest, and pressed it into his hand.

The priest blinked his eyes in amazement, looked first at the ducat and then at the shabby old woman who gave it.

He stuffed the ducat into his pocket, whispered hurriedly to the sexton to bring him the font, and then christened the child of poor Lukas with as much ceremony as the child of the richest townsman. The little girl received the name Marishka.

After the christening the priest accompanied the godmother to the door of the chapel and the sexton went even farther until he, too, received the reward for which he was hoping.

When Lukas and the old woman came to the crossroads where they had met, she handed him the child. Then she reached into her pocket, drew out another golden ducat which she stuck in the fold of the child's clothes, and said "From this ducat which I endow my god child, you will have enough to bring her up properly. She will always be a joy and comfort to you, and when she grows up she will make a happy marriage. Now good-by."

She drew a green w and from her busom and touched the earth. Instantly a lovely rosebush appeared, covered with blooms. At the same moment the old woman vanished.

Our Juniors Some societies have found it helpful to organize teen-age groups and this is a fine idea, as it keeps the teen-agers active until they reach the age where they, feel more at home in the established adult unit. Our society is giving a great deal of thought to this group of boys and girls.

Through our organization work we can encourage the parents to cooperate in planning the activities. This gives the parents an opportunity to meet the boys and girls and see for themselves the companions of their children. If we don't organize these children ond nlma programs for them, soma othe- organization will and it might n_at be the kind we would want our children to belong to.

• J. • NEW IMMIGRATION LAW EASES HARDSHIP CASES The new immigration law, signed by President Eisenhower on September 11, 1957 eases several of the hardships caused by the old law and will enable a number of immigrant families to reunite.

Admission of Close Relatives Suffering from Tuberculosis Heretofore, aliens suffering from tuberculosis could not be admitted to the United States. A section of the new law, however, now permits the admission, until June 30, 1959, of aliens afflicted with tuberculosis, provided they are the close relatives of U.S. citizens or resident aliens.

Appropriate safeguards will have to be met. It is probable the sponsor of the immigrant will have to post a bond and submit evidence that a bed will be available for the alien in an approved hospital or sanatorium- upon his arrival and until he is ready to be discharged.

Certain Grounds for Exclusion Waived.

Under the new law the Attorney General is permitted to waive past criminal or immoral acts as grounds for exclusion from the United States. This waiver, however, iroy only be exercised in favor of aliens who are spouses, children, or parents of American citizens or lawfully resident aliens, and only if they are otherwise eligible for admission.

Furthermore, such waiver is dependent upon satisfactory evidence that- the alien's exclusion would result in "extreme hardship" to his U.S. citizen or lawfully resident spouse, parent or child, and that his admission will not be contrary to national welfare.

Robert William Koneschik, 70, a retired ginner, died Sunday in a Taylor hospital. He was a member of our Lodge No. 29 in Taylor.

Funeral services were held Monday at 3 p.m. at the Condra Memorial Chapel in 'Taylor with the Rev. Frank Svoboda of C M B Church officiating. Burial was in the Taylor City Cemetery.

Survivors include three sons: Wilkins J. Koneschik, Robert J. Koneschik and Besse W. Koneschik, all of Taylor; two

Misrepresentation Waived as Ground for Deportation The new law forgives misrepresentation as to nationality and place of birth by aliens admitted to the United States between December 22, 1945, and November 1, 1954, a period when a great many people came here as refugees or escapees from Iron Curtain countries.

Previously, the immigration law required deportation of all persons guilty of such misrepresentation. These aliens,

Wednesday, January 8, 1953 however, must be able to prove that, when they misrepresented, their nationality or place of birth, they were not trying to evade quota restrictions but from fear of persecution were- trying to avoid being sent back to Communist-controlled countries.

The new law also waives deportation for another group of liens — the spouses parent; or children of U.S. citizens or lawfully resident aliens — who entered. the United States as a result of misrepresentation or fraud in procuring an immigration visa. Moreover, a visa application may now be approved for the same group of aliens still abroad -- that is, spouses, parents and children — who have wanted co come here but have been refused because of past misrepresentation or fraud in trying to obtain a visa. ) • 4 • ( LONGER LIFE PREDICTED Many Americans will by the year 1970 be beating the Biblical length of life of three score and ten. They will be living three score years and 20. The proportion living to 100 years is about the same today as it was a century ago or a millenium ago, however.

These are the predictions of Dr. Louis I. Dublin of the Institute of, Life Insurance, who gave two Messenger Lectures at Cornell. University, Ithaca, N.Y. In 1970, Dr. Dublin said the average American white man of 65 will have an even chance of reaching 79. The white woman of 65 wll have a life expectancy of 83 years.

Dr. Dublin sees little basis for "extravagant forecasts of longevity based on a dietary revolution or some world-shaking discovery in connection with the chronic diseases."

More deaths, he points out are due to the aging process of the body and there is no sign that this will be reversed. ) 4 • The bright pupil looked long and thoughtfully at the school examination question which read: "State the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States in any given year."

Thirty Days Behind The Iron Curtain Continued July 9. --- This night was a big occasion for my dad because he had his school chums invited for a farewell party at Hotel Tatran on the Vaclayske Name,sti. There were about 30 guests invited. There was the Mikuleak family, Pelican's, Vodicka's, Hanna's and several others that I forgot the names.

Mr. and Mrs. Hanna, Mr. Pelican and Mr. Vodicka are all friends of my dads from way back and that was in the school days. On this occasion, dad invited Mr. Vodicka a school buddy, for they haven't seen each other since 1919. when this group met, they really talked and to me it looked like a very, very happy day to all of them.

At the Hotel Tatran a Czech orchestra played the waltzes and polkas. I never had a chance to sit down as I was always on the dance floor doing the "Aestka" as my cousin Jura Mikuleak told me. I really enjoyed this night as I danced with my uncle Mikulcak, he really loves to dance. The perspiration was pouring off of everyones brow. This night will be long remembered by all of us that were present. We all parted in happy spirits and sang "Molna, ze se sejdeme od dneska do roka." We returned to our hotel room for next morning we were departing from Prague Czechoslovakia.

July 10th — Everyone was up early this morning as the luggage had to be in the lobby at ten o'clock. This is one morning that the elevator operator was busy. When we arrived in Prague at Hotel Esplanade, all of us 2 pieces of luggage only now many of us had an extra suitcase, boxes, pictures, and records in small bags. So just imagine what a mess this was. After I got all my luggage into the lobby, few of us decided to go outside and take pictures.

As I've mentioned before, this was the day for the big celebration of the arrival of the Communist Party big wigs. The streets, were parked with people. One just couldn't get anywhere. only stay near the hotel and the park.

I never saw so many people at one time. Some were there at sunrise. so that they could get a good place to stand and watch the porade.

Sharply at 9 o'clock there was heard a loud applause at the Hlavni Nadrazi.

This was the moment of the leaders arrival in Prague. When the band played the Russian National Anthem, the people stood at attention, this was followed by "Kde Dornov Muj" at this moment. I believe a pin could be heard when dropped, for no one moved. When

By Mrs. Betty Judea the band played the Czech Anthem. I'm sure many a tear fell, for this song meant a lot to many that were there.

All of us from Texas were right there.

After the parade passed and the people went to their homes and places of business ,two busses were there to take us to the Hotel International for lunch.

This hotel is located halfway between down town Prague and the airport. It is modern in every way. The vice president of the Oedok Agency guided us throughout the hotel on to the roof garden where one could see Hradcany in the distance, the River Vltava and apartment houses. After we were shown hotel rooms, we were than shown the movie pictures that were taken on our ten day tour. Everyone enjoyed this movie and we had lots of fun of seeing ourselves on the screen. We than were served dinner in a dinning room. Than following the noon meal the film was shown again to several that didn't see it till noon. I went to see it the second time. Mr. Valcik has this film and many of you throughout Texas have seen it.

We all had many laughs over this film and at the same time enjoyed every minute of it.

Now it was time to get going once again. we got aboard the busses, and headed for the Airport. This was a sad time for everybody had friends and relatives there to bid farewell. Our passports were checked, and the flight ticket to Amsteddam had to be turned in.

When dads time came to turn in his flight ticket, he didn't have it. Boy what an excitement! Dad got nervous and excited about this and I don't blame him, but he wasn't the only one that had lost or misplaced the plane ticket.

It took only a little while and things became normal again. Now it was time for us to part from the loved, ones.

There was much hugging, loving and crying on every side. As our names were called out, we had to go and pick up our passports and we than had to go into the waiting room. Our plane was late and all this time, no one could leave and talk to their loved ones. There was a large crowd gathered at the airport. It was real cloudy and out of nowhere it thundered and it began to rain. We all had that last glass of Czech beer before our planes arrival. In the meantime, we saw a Russian plane take off from the airport, it was the same model as the one that brought the Russian delegation to the U. N. our plane flew in, and than our luggage was load-

ed on, and than we were told to board the KLM. We left Prague at 5:00 o'clock and arrived in. Amsterdam at seven. Here we were taken by transit to the restaurant where we were served a good supper. After we ate, many of us shopped for souvenirs. Some one in the crowd ' found out that whiskey could be brought bought here tax free. Many of us brought back a fifth or two back with us to the States. Oh, yes, I forgot, at supper time we had a good "cake", for a treat. Did this taste good, just like at home. at nine o'clock our plane was announced. Here we boarded a larger: plane than the one that we left Prague This time, when we got aboard the plane, we had our choice of seats, This time I took a seat in the rear of the plane. (Only this time I had a seat, to myself.) The plane was divided to three parts. There was a jolly , time, that night in the plane. Mr. Skrabanek,; of Houston took out several French Harps out and several played familiar Czech songs. We all sang and had of fun. About 10:30 some one suggeSted. that they were thirsty for beer. Mean-.1 while a stewart was listening to our singing and laughing. He brought each of us a glass of beer and the singing, continued. Finally we decided that time to retire for the night. All of .a: sudden, everyone quited down and.one,' by one fell asleep.

However, the artificial moonlet could burn out as it spiraled toward the 'earth' about a month after it was shot' itit6' space, Dr. Whipple said. Observations of satellites will lead to an accurate tld-' termination of the upper atmospheric density to an altitude of some 300 miles..

If the density is as low as a million-millionth of the sea level value, Dr. Whipple predicted the sattellite's lifetime would be limited to less than one year.

ROBERTS' RULES OF ORDER (Continued) Art. H. General Classification of Motions.

For convenience' motions may be classif. i". as follows.

Main or Principal Motions 11 Saosidiary Motions 12 • Incidental Motions — — — — 13 Privileged Motions — — 14 11. A Main or Principal Motion is a motion made to bring before the assenilifY,' for its consideration, any particular subject. It takes precedence of nothing — that is, it cannot be made \\then any other question is before the as--embly; and it yields to all Privileged, incidental, and Subsidiary Motions — that is, any of these motions can be made while a main motion is pending.

Main motions are debatable, and subject to aa ‘andment, and can have no subsidiary 12) motions applied to them.

When a main motion is laid on the table, or postponed to a certain time, it carries with it all , pending subsidiary motions. If a main motion is referred to a committee it carries with it only the pending amendments. As a general rule, they require for their adoption only a majority vote — that is, a majority of the votes cast; but amendments to constitutions, by-laws, and rules of order already adopted, all of which are main motions, require a two-thirds vote for thelf adoption, unless the by-laws, etc., specify a different vote for their amendment; andr the motion to rescind action previously taken requires a two-thirds vote, or a vote of a majority of the entire membership, unless previous notice of. the motion has been given.

Mrin motions may be subctividod into Original Main Motions and Incidental Main Mations. Original Main Motions are those which bring before the assembly some new subject, generally in the form of a resolution, upon which action by the assembly is desired. Incidental Main Motions are those main motions that are incidental to, or related to, the business of the assembly, or its past or futpre action, as a committee's report on a resolution referred to it. A motion to, accept or adopt the report of a standing , conny4ittee upon a subject not refer,. red to it is an original main motion, but - !notion to adopt a report on a subreferred to a committee is an inCider.1,91 main motion. The introduction 1-,n original main motion can be prevented by sustaining by a two-thirds vale ; an objection to ist consideration, nui de just after the main motion is .stats ed and before it is discussed. An objet:, lion to its consideration cannot be ap-

plied to an incidental main motion,' but a two-thirds vote can immediately suppress it by ordering the previous question: This is the only difference between the two classes of main motions. The following list contains some of the most common

Incidental Main Maims Accept or Adopt a Report upon a subject refferred to a committee.

Adjourn at or to, a future time.

Adjourn, if qualified in any way, or to adjourn when the effect is to dissolve the assembly with no provision for its reconvening.

Appoint the Time and Place of the next meeting, if introduced when no business is pending.

Amend the Constitution, By-laws, Standing Rules, or Rasolutions, etc., already adopted.

Ratify or Confirm action taken, Rescind or Repeal action taken.

All of these motions are essentially main motions, and are treated as such, though they may appear otherwise.

Though a question of privilege is of high rank so far as interrupting a pendg question is concerned, yet when the question has interrupted the business and is pending it is treated as a "main motion so far as having incidental and subsidiary motions applied to it. So an order of the day, even though a special order, after it has been taken up is treated in the same way, as is also a question that has been reconsidered.

No motion is in order that conflicts with the constitution, by-laws, or stand ing rule, or resolutions of the assembly, and if such a motion is adopted it is null and void. B a use introduction of such a motion it is necessary to amend the constitution or by-laws, or amend or rescind the conflicting standing rule or resolution. A motion is not in order that conflicts with a resolution previously adopted by the assembly at the same session, or that has been introduced and has not been finallt B ,posed of. It is not too late, the proper course is to reconsider the vote on the motion previously adopted, and then amend it so as to express the desired idea. If it cannot be reconsidered, the old resolution may be rescinded by a two-thirds vote and then the new one can be introduced. If previous notice is given, it may also be rescinded by a major vote at the next meeting, In societies where the quorum is a small percentage of the membership and meetings are as frequent as quarterly, no recolution that conflicts with one adopted at a previous session should be entertained until the old one has been

rescinded, which requires a two-thirds vote unless proper notice 11, • s been given.

12, Subsidiary Motions Subsidiary motions are s uch as are applied to other motions mom the purpose of most appropriately disposing of them.

By means of them the original motion may be modified, or action postponed, or it may be referred to a committee to investigate and report, etc. They may be applied to any main motion, and when made they supersede the main motion and must be decided before the main motion can be acted upon. None of them, except the motion to amend and those that close or limit or extend the limits of debate, can be applied to a itibsidiary, incidental (except op appeal in certain cases), or privilege Mbtion, Subsidiary motions, except to lay on the table, the previous question, and postpone indefinitely, may be amended. The motions affecting the limits of debate may be applied to any debatable question regardless of its orivilege,,And 'require, a two-thirds vor , for thei •:, adoption. All those of" lower' rank than 'those affecting the limits 61" debate `a-re-'debatable, the rest 'arc not. The motion' to amend Anything that has ,already -been adopted, as by-laws or minutes, 'IS not a cul4.diary. : motion but is a main motion and can be laid on the table or have applied to it any other subsidiary motion without affecting the by-laws or minutes, because the latter are not pending.

In the following list the subsidiary Inntions are arranged in the order of their precedence, the first one having the in hest rank. When one of them Ls the immediately pending question every i-,ration above it is in order, and every one Mow it is out of order.

Farm Records Can Tell A Story College Station — It is time to close the books on 1957 farm records says C. H. Bates, extension farm management specialist, and to take a look at the balance sheets on the various form and home enterprises and a look at what happened during 1957.

A close lock should point up the problems that must be met in planning for 12E8 and . on into the future. For as Bates points out, a good set of farm records will reveal problems that are of vital concern to every family member.

Records often reflect whether a management change did cut costs and raise profits or whether or not a minor farm enterprise should be dropped or expanded.

Too, a complete set of records is a must at income tax figuring time. Regularly kept records can save dollars at tax paying time for often deductable expenses are overlooked, especially if paid in cash, points out the specialist. With tax rates as they now are, the failure to claim $25 deductible expenses adds $5 to the tax bill and even more in the case of higher tax brackets.

Bates also points out that complete farm records are an asset when money be borrowed for production or operating expenses. Knowing what the business is doing is a strong talking point in making credit arrangements. Too, farm families need facts upon which to base their decisions and none are more reliable, says Bates, than those obtained from farm records.

If a simple record book is needed, he suggests using the Texas Farm Record Book. It is available from the Exchange Store, College Station, Texas, for 75 cents a copy. And finally, he suggests that if assistance is needed on record keeping, a visit with the local extension agents be planned.

BY EXTRA - RISK TREND Millions of American families are now benefiting from the many advances made in the issuance of extra-risk life insurance over the past decade or two, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

Not only do millions now enjoy the protection of life insurance for which they would probably have been ineligible 15 or 20 years ago, but many millions more have insurance at standard rates, on which they would be paying extra premium rates on the hasls existing only a few years ago.

By the end of the year according to the Institute, there will probably be about $16,000,000,000 of extra- risk life insurance in force in the U. S. under more than 5,000,000 policies.

While today's aggregate of extra-risk insurance is almost double the amount in force just 10 years ago, this is only half the picture of growth, the Institute states. This gain has come about in a period in which many risks have been eliminated requiring an added premium, and thus many previously extra-risk policies have been transferred to the ltandard policy category."

recent years. Many types of impairment which once precluded insurance are now insurable at extra rates and some impairments formerly covered at extra rates are now insured at standard rates.

About one-fourth of those now issued extra-risk policies have minor heart impairments and in sonic cases policies are now issued after a waiting period to persons who have suffered coronary thrombosis. Some persons who have survived TB or a cancer 'operation are now insured, some at standard rates after a sufficient period of non-recurrence.

Last year, 400,000 new extra-risk policies for $2,700,000,000 were purchased and it is expected that not far from the same number, for a somewhat larger aggregate will be purchased this year.

Every 20th p011ey issued is now an extrarisk contract.

Advances in medicine, improved surgery, antibiotics and other new drugs, improved occupational safety and the better health facilities generally are all contributing factors in the life companies' constant expansion of policy unIllustrative of how extensive the lib- derwriting in the area of extra-risk coveralization in this area has been is the erage. Another important factor has fact that one company reports that al- been the increased business-wide studies most half of the extra rates for occupa- of impaired risks and occupational fac= tions of 20 years ago are now eliminated. tors.
