Jako jeden ze spolkovYch zodpovednYch htteclniku, tadu Anton Germak, ei slo 56 SPJST v Corpus Christi, Texas. jsem pova‘Zoval za svoji , elenskou povinnost, udelat dotaz a se pouelt 0 tom, co nas oeekava v phICtich dnech. Z davodu 'Ze se nejednalo o Z'adnou osobni neb soukromou a tajnou zalelitost, (aspofi jsem to tak sam uznal po dobrem uva2eni a tedy se rozhodl, pouZit sloupce naicho Vestniku, jera", co , organ Jednoty, nas stoji okol tficet Best tisic, s tim nejlepiim imyslem posloulit celku.

Sna2im se psati srozurnitelne, ale snad nejsem dost talentovany bych Se jinak vyjacitil. Tak aby to nebylo nekyin bra ne, Ze to do nakho organu nepatti.

Kdy jsem Ceti v nasledujicim eisle Vestniku to upozorneni od naieho br. )eda.ktora pod laaviekou "Naeirn dopisovatelam k uvaieni," pkieel jsem nejak do rozpaka.

Co jsem to tam jenom napsal zleho, he hned najednou takove upozorneni nebo varovani. PozdCji se br. redaktor ornlouva, he to nebylo minene osobne, ale vieobecne. Nu, at' ji2 se to stab osobne neb fieobecne, stab se!

Rid bych sobe pohidil bdle z rifZov:,"/mi skly, abych Si je mohl rano phi vstavani nasadit na oCI, kdyby to melo iteinek pro cei den optimisticky myslet. jsem Ci takovir nedotik, be se potad mu sim neeemu ptitleovat a vSak ne valy

Strum jen k vuli sobs, ale take nekdy k jinYm. iteknerne na ptiklad jen: co takovY ptedseda, tajemnik neb organisator tadovy musi vedet, aby se imlatnil ye svojem tta.cle. Olenove si voli svoje aredniky ze sveho sttedu takove, v ktere maji chiveru, ze svetene jim atady budou die svojich nejlep gich schopnosti svedomito a nestranne zastavat. Jsou-li firednici einni spolek dela pokrok.

Mt& bYti spolek tinny, kdyl jeho flrednici jsou jen pro vYpineni mist? Nemaji zajem o spolkove zalelitosti. Nemaji od Zadneho pottebnou informaci, poneeni, povzbuzeni a posilu? Olenove ve vgech spolkovYch zalelitostech se obraci na tredniky. Jak mfiZe takovY UkednIk posloukt radou neb einem, v takovS7ch ptipadech, kdyl sam nema o tom postaeitelne vedomosti? Je-li dbaly rychle se do v geho vpravi a doroste do toho stupne, ze pozdej rychie muze zodpovedet jemu kladene otazky.

Mnohokrate se mi ptihodilo, ze jsem postradal takove vedomosti, abych mohl spravne uspokojit v dalektYch otazkach spolkovSrch kde v tom roz gitenem pojigt'ovani, jen se sklada dosud z dvaceti rianSich ttid. V techto zalelitostech, kdyl jsem to nemohl nikde najit, v tech skro vnYch pomiickach, co jsem dostal do zaeatku co organisator, tak jsem se omluvil a bez odkladne si dopsal do Hlavni iitadovny o pottebne informace.

Podobne jsem dinil kdy2 se naskytla sporna, zalektost, jsem bral radu a vysvetleni z Hlavni fitadovny. Musim zde ptipomenout 2e mi vkly bylo vlidne, srozumitelne a rychie obratem po gty poslouleno. 2e toho bylo mnoho ptipada, to Vain dosvedei fitednici z Hlavni atadovny. Mnoho z teto korespondence, mohlo bYti uvedeno ye Vestniku a jsem jist, by to udelalo svoje poslani a u getteni pra ce, easu a vydani. Domaci tadovi fitectnici a organisatoti a eleni by se to doeetli ye Vestniku co chti vedet.

Nepovalujeme Vgechno za spolkove tajernstvi. Naarlime na jine spolky, le by od nas nem odkoukly.

Nemyslim, 2e mame primat na v gechno. Ja na to hledim tak, ze jestli je neco dobreho, pak se to shit mezi nagim lide ma nebat se vlastniho stinu.

Vidim jak ' nekdo rad kale jine a radi jak psati, jen‘le nel takovY dopis doetu, tak shleclam, ze ten pisatel neb pisatelka zap4Dmel(a) ku koci to co zaeal(a) psati a sami sobs odporuji.

Jestli moje dopisy pottebuje ochranou ruku, pak ten organ je zbyteenY a tech 36 tisic roene se mule upottebit na neco ullteenejkho.

Potlaeovani voInSich nazora se dtiv neb pozdej zle vymstilo na tech, kdo se odvaZili poukvat dvoji miru. "Yardstick"

VEST NI X — WEST, TEXAS Nagi zakladatele od prvopodaticu uznavali, ze spolkovy organ, je ten nejlepg mluvei mezi eleny, kde se mame poudovat aby prace spolkova se datila. Ovgem le se take datila!

Vgechny sjezdy doposud uznaly, spolkovY organ je na ge neplepgi dorozu mivajici pojitko. A to take bylo.

Vgichni atednici Hlavni fitadovny, tadovi a vabec kaklY schopnY psani, by obeas meli poukt sloupce Vestniku, pro vYmenu s yYch nazora a navepro zlepS'eni spolkove einnosti.

Mnoho naSich elenfl nekdy uslySi slovo "stanovy" ale nikdy se jim nedostaly do ruky, aby je videli jak dopadaji, ne tak potom vedet jejich obsah.

UvaZoval jsem eastokrat, ze na mists tech nekdy i nepodarenYch vtipfx, jen jsou pouZivany na yypIneni prazdnych sloupcil Vestniku.

Paul Sablatura, pkedseda SPJST Rest Home, Taylor, Texas • ( ) • Z DOMOVA ODPOINKU

Taylor, Texas Sestry a broth.: Minuleho t3idne mel bratr redaktor vecnou a easovou avahu "Dame-li se obinekeit?" Rad jsem videl jeho tadky.

Zdarazriuje a potrhuji jeho slava, abyste "vy ygiehni, ktefi jste dowel neptispell darem, se Je pomoci fern zapatebi." Diky, bratte Hogku.

Na nasledujici strance tehoa disla poda,va bratr Hugo Shefeak jeho myglenky o Domove. On to stale nazYva fitulnou, ae mezi atulnou-iistavem a domovem s rodinnYm ovzclu gim je znaenY rozdil. To vgak vedlej gi. Chci podat svuj nahled na jeho slova: "keditele udelali chybu, ie nepostavili fitulnu za $100,000."

Jsem tea jeden z tech sedmi, kdo "udelali chybu." Kolik teakosti jsme meli, nea yg echno bylo nakresleno, stanimi fikady schvaleno, kolikrat pfeciseda a tajemnik vftorti, museli miti stale porady • architektem, to virne jen my dva, br. ablatura a ja. Jestli jsme "udelali chybu", pak ta nejvet gi chyba pichala nas jako ttiska v prstu, se jsme vzali na sebe

takovou ne y deenou zodpov'ednost, ania bychom ptedern vedell, do ja,kYch obtanYch problenni zatedame. Kdyby elovek pi edem vedel, co ho eeka za roher.a, vyhnul by e tomu, eeho pozdeji lituj e.

Ovgern fines aadnY z fediteln nelituje toho, co bylo vykonano. NeprohYtili jsme nic ,tfeba jeden muj dobrY pkitel tvrdi, ae on by tu budovu postavil hodne Nebyl zde dosud ,nevidel hotoyou vec, tedy jeho slova nemohou byti brana vaane.aetrili jsme, kde se dale.

Moderni budova vyaaduje nova zatizeni, o kterYch jsme ve sjezdu neuvaaovali, ale na ne2 nam bylo poukazano statnimi fitady, architektem a odborniky v techto praktickYch vecech. Jak Franta Bareg z Michiganu se vyjadtil, kdya zde byl nedayno navgtevou: "Je videt, se jste parnatovali na v gechno, na co obyeejnY smrtelnik by vfibec neptigel." Nage pinny a vYkresy musely bYt na mnoha mistech zmenene a dopinene, nea na ne stavitel podal nabidku. Vzali jsme tu nejniagi, jednu zpatnaeti, o $44,000.00 niagi nea byla ta nejdratgi.

Tak se stale, ae rrinme k modernimu domovu blativou cestu. Neni fondu ani 112, zakoupeni vice aterku, 0.6 velka fara stoji jen $5.00. Neni dosud zaplacen ten Sterk, kterY uz sem byl dodan. Diry v ceste se zvet guji. Radii mi jeden navgtevnik :"Tak si nechej do yesti naklad gterku, vysyp to taxable na hromadu, naptej si delnika s trakatem, aby ty diry zasypal." Ono se rack hladovemu, jak drobit chleb do polevky.

Je Vaal jedna potegitelna znianka, souhlasu od tech, kdo sem ptijdou navUeyou. KaIrlY tvrdi, ze DOMOV je lepe postaven a zatizen nez naAtevnik oeekaval. A kaZdy takm7Y na ygtevnik dle moanosti ptispeje. Zde kvituji:

Usttedi v Temple. V kteresi schazi ni fitadovny bylo rozhodnuto, ae lepe poslouai tyto nadherne vaza.ne knihy v Domove. Naloail jsem je do auta a ionveal sem. Krorne toho pfivez1 jsem ze sve residence z Houstonu asi za $250.00 novYch eeskYch i anglickYch knih. Ceske knihy jsou klasicka dila na gich jokednick spisovatelfi, znovu yydand nedavno. Doufal jsern, ae nekdo z na gich ndruaivYch etenatil vzpomene si, jak nagi dedeekove a babielty radi etou pogle dolar nebo dva na deskou knihu. Dosud se tak nestalo.

Prave byl jsem pkeru:sen navgcevou 'eti pant z Austinu. Pki gli, aby prohleall nag novY domov a upozornili spra y -ce,vdmhylaujnboktervci dle zakonitYch ptedpisti.

Personal Protection Plan Built Up The American people have built up an extraordinary system of widespread protection for the individual and the family, much of it on their own initiative and by their own efforts, which has become one of the great stabilizers in the economy in the steady flow of income that it is bringing to millions of people.

Figures compiled from Governmental and nongovernmental sources show that the combined public and private programs established to protect the indivi, dual against the economic impact of death, disability and retirement are currently contributing the huge sum of more than $25 billions a year in the aggregate to the nation's income stream.

This figure is the equivalent of about $1 out of every $12 of total personal income for the year based on 1957 data.

Both the total of the payments under these protection prograrms and their relationship to aggregate disposable personal income have been going up steadily year after year, and are now at new record high levels. The biggest single element of this great personal income source is life insurance, its benefit payments representing close to a third of the total.

With conditions as they are, it is interesting to note that the more publicized economic stabilizers, such as a personal incometax reduction, don't come close to the total payments the people are now receiving regularly out of the individual and family protection programs they have built up for themselves. So far most of the talk about a tax cut, if and when this develops as an anti-recessionstimulant, involves a sum of about $4 billions or so. This is little more than half the benefits currently being paid out of life insurance alone.

after taxes was only 5 per cent, or 60 per cent of the 1957 ratio.

The public and private protection programs on which these figures are based do not include unemployment insurance piograms nor public assistance payments. Neither do they take into account the huge income flow produced by accumulated savings or investments of individuals in such areas as savings accounts, U.S. Savings Bonds, savings and loan associations, real estate, and corporate securities.

With combined benefit payments of more than $7 1/z billions in 1957, life insurance was the leading single component of the income flow produced by public and private protection programs for the individual and the family. Of these life insurance benefit payments, approximately $7 billions were from private sources, predominately legal reserve companies. The balance represented estimated benefit payments under veterans life insurance last year.

Benefit figures for private life companies include payments under insured pension and retirement programs but exclude accident and health, field in which the life companies play a magor role.

In recent years, in fact, accident and health insurance has become one of the fastest-growing areas of protection for the individual and the family against the impact of hospital, surgical and medical care costs and the loss of income resulting foam accident or illness.

Total benefit payments under these programs are estimated at well over $4 billions for 1957, up 72 per cent since 1953 and over four times the total in 1949. Payments to individuals under accident and health protection now represent the third largest source of benefits paid by public and private individual and family protection programs. )•4•( It is likewise significant to compare the contributions that these programs are making to the nation's stream under current economic conditions as against similar periods in the past. In the recession 'of 1953, for example, total payThousands of graduates will start ments to individuals under combined public and private protection programs real soon to look for jobs -- will begin for the individual and family added up careers -- lay the foundation for into just $16 billions, or some $9 billions dividual estates.

The U. S. - U. S. S. R. Cultural Exchange On January 27th the United states and the Soviet Union completed their first .-mccessful negotiation since 1955 on a substantial matter. This the AmericanSoviet cultural exchange agreement.

The new agreement brings to mind a statement made by Persident Eisenhower back in 1956, when he called for the beginning of what he termed people-to-people exchange among all nations. "This," he said "is the truest path to peace."

From the viewpoint of the United States, the exchange agreement is quite obviously another step forward in this person-to-person program. For it provides, almost entirely for an exchange of individuals, Under the clauses of this agreement, four categories of persons will exchange visits between this country and the Soviet Union: artists, technicians, educators and athletes.

In addition to exchanges within these four fields, there is to be an effort to stimulate tourist travel in general. And, on a more impersonal plane, there are to be exchanges of films, television programs and broadcasts — even, under special arrangements, broadcast exchanges on political subjects.

The agreement does not contain everything that the negotiators wished to include. And there are items which, according to the agreement, must be discussed further — for example, the subject of direct airplane flights between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Nevertheless, it is generally believed that, whatever its imitations, the agreement is, in its own language "a significant first step."

On the same day that the agreement was signed, the tenth anniversary of another significant step in international understanding was observed in Washington. In January 1958 Congress enacted into law the Information and Exchange Act, which provided for the exchange exert/ year of thousads of students between the United States and some 80 other countries.

At a ceremony marking the anniversary of the student exchange act, President Eisenhower remarked that he thought it would be a good thing if large numbers of Soviet students were allowed to come here every year, even if American students were not admitted to study in the Soviet Union.

The agreement does not by any means demolish the Iron Curtain which the Soviet Union set up more than a decade ago. Nor does it provide for a genuinely free flow of persons — private persons, not official delegations -- from the

satellite countries or from the Soviet Union. Yet, in the view of many observers, the agreement is a move in the right direction, Hope has been expressed that it may establish an atmosphere in which travel restriction may be relaxed even More.

These same observers point out that the exchange agreement demonstrates something else. It is the result, they note, of three months of negotiations between Soviet Ambassador Zarubin and U.S. Ambassador Lacy. This, they say, emphasizes that concrete results can be achieved by the quiet and patient work of professional diplomats — the same kind of work which the Western nations have insisted must precede any future meetings of heads of governments.

D Figures Lie? The instructor was striving to drive home some truths. "Figures can't lie," he declared. "For instance, if one man can build a house in twelve days, twelve men can build it in a day."

A puzzled student interrupted: "Then 288 men can build it in one hour, 17,280 in one minute, and 1,036,809 in one second." While the instructor was still gasping, the ready reckoner went on: "And if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. Figures can't lie, can they?" )♦4 * The following S.P.J.S.T. organizers and officers attended the Fraternal Seminar Course at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

More Couples Will Be iving To Celebr to Golden V' -cllings What are the chances that you and your spouce will live to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary?

According to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company "for the typical young couple now entering marriage, the likelihood that both will survive to the golden wedding anniversary is more than twice what it was for the average couple of a half century ago."

Specifically, the chances are better than two out of five that young married partners age 21 and 17 respectively will live to make their 50th wedding date. A half century ago their chances would have been less than one in five.

If the groom is 25 and the bride 21, the chances of joint survival are nearly three out of ten. Fifty-odd years ago, they were only one in eight.

Of course, the older couples marry, the less likely they are to survive to the anniversary, If they are both 25 years of age, for instance, their chances are Only a little better than one in four.

And if both are 27, the odds drop to slightly less than one in five. None the less, prospects for longer married life are substantially brighter than at the beginning of this century.

Chances of celebrating a 25th, or silver anniversary, of course, are generally excellent — and also better than they were in the past. A groom of 25 with a bride of 21 could safely give odds of between eight and nine to one that he and his wife will celebrate a silver wedding anniversary. And the odds are nearly as good even if both partners are as old as 27 when married.

For that matter, a man who marries as late as age 35 has better than seven chances in ten of toasting his wife after 25 years of marriage, presuming she is either younger than he is or not more than two years older. Interestingly, his chances are better than those that could have been given teen-agers who married around 1900 )o ♦ R,EIVIENIBER THAT WHENEVER YOU

Growing Opportunities Success in a profession which deals with individual sales and clients is increasing in nature. The first year is usually difficult for a lawyer, a dentist, a doctor, or a life insurance representative.

It is evident that a person shoosing any one of the above professions must have a substantial clientele before he earns a sufficient income for a comfortable living. This is generally not accomplished during the first year.

In most professions, a person must wait for clients to come to him, but a life insurance representative has the advantage of controlling to a great extent the number of persons he will contact during the year, by daily planned appointments and interviews. However, it still takes some time to establish a substantial clientelle even for him, so he must be patient.

Having won the friendship and confidence of his clientele, the progressive representative will tactfully ask for the names of their acquaintances whenever the opportunity presents itself. Again, he has an advantage not available in other professions.

It takes time to establish a favorable reputation when rendering any professional services, but results can be 'obtained easier and quicker in life insurance.

Robstown Lodge held their regular meeting on March 2. A larger than usual number of members were present and also some visitors from the neighhoring Corpus Christi lodge attended.

Also Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Cerny from San Antonio were present. After the meeting was called to order, Brother Cerny swore-in the officers of our lodge.

Our newly-elected President, Brother Victor Janek, very ably conducted the meeting. Brother Cerny talked on the different types of insurance the SPJST has to offer and better methods =of sell ing it. His speech was interesting and informative. The short speeches by Brother Chas Holasek and Brother John Stasa, both from Corpus Christi, were also interesting. We'd 'like to thank Brother Cerny for coming to visit us and also all the visitors are invited to come again to visit us.

Our lodge unanimously elected our retiring president as an honorary president. Brother John Rektorik served the Robstown Lodge as president for over 30 yeals. Thank you Brother Rektorik for doing a good job for so many years.

After the meeting was adjourned a delicious lunch was served. Ladies, thanks for bringing all the good things to eat and especially Mrs. Jaro. Rektorik for seeing that coffee was available for those who wanted it.

We will have a special meeting on Sunday April 13th at 2 p.m. There is some unfinished business and one subject which will be whether the 'members

Members are asked to think about it until then and voice their opinions at the next meeting, April 13. So members are asked to please attend the meeting.

MRS. GEORGE PAVELKA Reporter • •C LODGE NO. 54 WEST, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: We held our regular meeting last Sunday and am glad to say that we had a large attendance.

Resolution was read in Sympathy of Brother Henry Snapka who died in Corpus Christi. Services were held in Abbott Catholic Church and buried in the West Catholic Cemetary. He is survived by six sons namely, Roman, Rudolph, Mehtod, Louis, Ernest and George Snapka.

One of our Committee-man, namely Brother Henry Matus has resigned, and now with new management on the Hall committee, they brought up several new programs which they have worked out for the entire (whole) year. The e first dance coming up will be on Easter Sunday with Rudy Kurtz Band from Shiner, Texas playing. We hope everybody will come to this big dance and celebrate Easter in a big way. The Committees are also working on a Program for Mother's Day, it is yet two months away to Mothers Day, but the committees are busy as bees on plans for the future.

There are several of our members on the sick list, they are Sisters Albina Mikeska, Christine Milberger and Brother Hugo Freund. We hope all of you will be well and able to attend our next meeting which will be on April 13th instead of on the first Sunday, 'because Easter falls on the first Sunday in April. So please mark your calendar today and be sure to come.

who had so many children she didn't know what to do.

There were many attractive costumes, such as the two Zorro's, Colonial girls, Bo Peep, Spanish ladies, Rabbits, Gypsies, clowns, little prince, and also the old time costumes. Maybe I have left out a few, but that is purely unintentional, for they were all very good!

The Old woman incidentally was Mrs. Emil Petr from Dallas, with her group of Teen-agers. Sorry, but I just couldn't tell how many children she had, because they just wouldn't stand still long enough to be counted. But we du want to express our sincere thanks of appreciation to every one, for making this dance such a success, to you from Dallas, and from and around Ennis.

Also our sincere thanks to all of the mothers and fathers who worked so hard, so that their children could have fun instead of having to work that particular night. I think we are all alike, when we know that any effort is for the good of our own children, then everyone is willing to help as much as he or she can.

Also wish to announce that we will have a business meeting at the National Hall of the Teen Age Club, Thursday night, March the 13th at 8:00. So all of you be sure to come, and be sure that you tell all of your friends, because this will be a very important meeting.

The Golden Duck

Dear Members and Fellow Youths, Hi -- this is my first letter to the Vestnik. I am in the eighth grade at Rogers Junior High. Although I do not live there. My home is in Cyclone a rich farming community..

It was my , pleasure to be elected the first president of the Youth Club of Lodge 24, SPJST. I want to thank all and everyone for giving me this honor.

It is my desire to make them a good president. We have held two meetings and already our membership has grown to 27. Since our lodge hall is large may I urge all the teenagers and those who are not teenagers to come and join us at the Hall. We meet at the same time on Sunday our parent Lodge 24 meets. Big things are brewing so cone on out and get on the band wagonFraternally yours, DOROTRA. HOLSCHER. Editor's Note: Thanks for the fine letter and here is our Wish that you may be successful. ) • 4 • ( Great scholars never graduate in a hurry - they do it in degrees.

(Old Czech Fairy Tale) CONTINUED The farmer near whose house it stood begged hard to have it saved, but the king was firm.

Shortly after the poplar was cut down there grew up under the king's window a pretty little; pear tree that bore golden pears. It was a wonderful little tree.

No matter how many pears you picked in the evening, by the next morning the tree would again be full.

The king loved the little tree and was forever talking about it. The old queen on the other hand, dislikel it.

"I, wish that tree would die," she used to say. "There's something strange about it that makes me nervous."

The king begged her to leave the tree alone but she worried and complained and, nagged until at last for his own peace of mind he had the poor little pear tree cut down.

The seven years of Yezibaba's curse at last ran out. Then Ludmila, changed herself again into a little golden thick and went swimming about on the lake that was under the king's window.

Suddenly the king began to remember that he had seen that duck before. But none of his people could catch it. Then he called together all the fishermen and birdcatchers in the country but none of them could catch the strange duck.

The days went by and the king's mind was more and more engrossed with the thought of the golden duck. "If none can catch it for me," he said at last, "1 must try to catch it myself."

So he went to the lake and reached out his hand after the golden duck. The duck led him on and on but at last allowed herself to be caught. As soon as she was in his hands she changed herself and Raduz recognized her as his own beautiful. Ludmila.

She said to him: "I have been true to 'you •but you have forgotten me all these years. Yet I forgive you, for it was not your fault."

In Raduz's heart his old love returned and he was overjoyed to lead Ludmila to the castle.

He presented her to his mother and said: "This is she who saved my, life many times. She and no one else will be my wife."

A great wedding feast was prepared and so at last Raduz married the faithful Ludraila.

The record discloses that of the • 365 paralytic cases reported last year, 218, were pre-schoolers under five. That figures out to be 59.7 per cent of Texas, compared to 45 percent for the nation as a whole.

Of the remaining Texas cases, 44 were between the ages of five an dnine; 23 were in the 10-14 age group; 19 were between 15 and 19, and 61 were over WI Clearly revealed in these "age group distribution" figures in the necessity of' placing special emphasis on the immunization of pre-school children, while at the same time keeping in mind that everyone up to 40 years of age should take the series of three shots in proper sequence.

It still takes almost 8 months to take the entire series. The second shot is given two weeks after the first, and the third seven after the second.

Parents must take the initiative in seeing that their younger childnn are properly immunized and in getting immunized themselves.

In the four years since the advent, of Salk vaccine, its effeciency in conferring immunity against the crippling effects of polio has exceeded all expectatioas.

This is its record of performance for the past five years.

In 1952, Texas suffered 3,984 cases of both paralytic and non-paralytic polio: That• was the worst year in state history. In 1953, reported cases totalled 1,751. There were 3,037 cases in 1954; 1,931 in 1955; and 1,359 in 1956.

Now compare those yearly totals with the 729 cases last year — slightly over half the number experienced in th6 lightest year of the previous four.

The time for parents to take action toward having their youngsters -- esPecially those of pre-school age — vaccinated is right now, before the polio season begins. And parents will be making a mistake if they neglect to get themselves immunized at the same time.

The tendency of many people is to take one or two doses of vaccine, and forget about the third. True, one shot does give some protection, and two gives even more. But only by taking that third shot can maximum protection be assured.

Getting vaccine is no problem nowadays as it was in the beginning. Latest estimates put the nation's vaccine sup. ly at 30 million doses.

TEXAS SAFETY ASSOCIATION "Traffic signs, signals and markers are silent policemen" E. C. McFadden of Dallas, Vice President of Employers Casualty Company and President of the Texas Safety Association, told motorists today in discussing this month's traffic safety program. The campaign is part of the year-long national "Bach The Attack on Traffic Accidents" program, sponsored by the Texas Safety Association and National Safety Council, "All signs should be observed the same as if a traffic officer were stationed at every traffic sign," he said.

The safety expert explained that the purpose of this month's program is to focus attention on traffic signs -- called "Signs of Life." The program is designed to encourage recognition and observance of all traffic signs in an effort to cut down traffic accidents.

"In four out of five fatal accidents, one or more driver violations are reported," he said, "and many of these involve the deliberate or unintentional disregard of traffic signs, signals and markings.,; * 4, 4 (

Ueitel StehliCek (Pokradovani) mne na uditelskem ustave nejvice byla hudba a zpev. Behem roku jsern sehrali v kostele nekolik velkych mg r. Ve prospech chuaYch kandidata ueitelstvi byl nastudovan rodne jeden kon cert. Hralo se pri vyprodanern dome.

Mg e byly oznamovany v novinacn a staly se aostavenickem milovniku cnrr,move hudby jak z mesta, tak z okoli. Vystupovali jseme v2dy po dukladne pkiprave.

Nag keditel, dobrY hudebni kritik, zarival radosti, kdy mu hudebni odbornici, k nimi2 na prvnim miste pattil otee Olduv, po skoneeni In ge ph odchodu z kostela gratulovali.

Podival se na nas ptisne a tekl: "Nekdo z vas musi ptevzit basovY part a na to je tireba hued na poCatku Sk,olniho roku pamatovat. Z vas by se k base nejlepe hodil Slavieek."

"Stehlieek," ozvalo se z mnoha fist.

"Pardon, Stehlieek, jak svou postaveu, tak L,polehlivosti ye vYkonu samara. Ste hircku, domnivam se, 2e ochotne menu pram vyhovite. 8kolu na basu si vypirjei to se gkolniho hudebniho archivu."

Ptani keditelovo bylo ov gem rozkazem.

Vstal jsem a slibil, ze s Katenou udelam milerad blizsi znamost. Byla to etnost z nouze.

Za kratko se stal ze mne uz obstojnY basista,. Mohu rici, 2e mne hra na basu 'Cala. Tony na base vyluzovanYmi podpi ral jsem celou hudebni stavbu, eili tvrdi-li jsem muziku.
