voikstva Jak seznamuji politicks strany Ye Spo jenYch Statech voliee se stiYmi sme'rnicent a snahami?

Jednina ze zakladnich rysti ka±cleho Po litickeho ttadu je polada yek, aby byl valid nalelite informovan. To plati autoinaticky o kaldem vpravde demokratickein systema. Olovek, zasta yajici politickY Utad, sam nejlepe vi, ze jeho zvoleni jests neznamena, le se po nastou pen ido Utadu male venovati uz jenom konani sve prace a nepottebuje venovati pozornost nieemu jinemu.

I po dosaleni do idadu musi stale vest kampan, a musi i naddle informovat voliee o raznYch politickYch otazkach i o torn, Co a nich sam soudi. Musi choditi na politicks schtize a naluviti na ban ketech, potadanYch obchodnimi a pitmyslovtmi organisacerni a ZenskYrni klu by. Musi sezriamovati vetejnost se sxtmi nazory prosti-ednictvim tisku, rozhlasu a televise. Tato nutnost stati v poptedi politickeho livota je snad hlavnim zpilsobent, jak voliastvo informuje.

Druh3i zgasob pozustava, v einnosti organisaci ,ktere stduji politicks otazky a pak je v tisku probiraji. Tyto organisace jsou obyeejne pticiruleny k politickym Jednou z nejlepe znamS7ch je Liga voliett • ktera. nahodou neni zapojena do ladne z politickSTch stran, ba zastava nestrannoli i v dobe voleb. Jejim fleelem je toliko informovati volieky o kar)didatech a o politicktch otazkach v mistnich, statnich a federalnich volbach, a meti je k tomu, aby volily.

Liga vycla,va, a giti literatttru o minulasti kandidata, jakol i o jejich projevech a nazorech. Potade. schtze, na nicht' tito kandidati mluvi a odpovidaji na otazky plitomnYch. Nekdy pozye i kandidaty dvou oposienich stran k debate.

Jinou dalelitou, sluthou Ligy je upozor novati validity na vetejne otazky, o nich jim bude hiasovati, a uvadeti clavody pro i proti. Ani v torn ptipade nesnaai se Liga ptikloniti volieky na to nebo onu stranu. Vge, oe usiluje, je, aby politickpa otazk y objasnila.

Nelvet gi z,asIuha Ligy taji se v gak v Jejim usili o to, aby pfimela vg'echny kvalifikovane volieky, aby se duly yeas registrovati a r_eezatily pr&vo hlasoyati v Yolbach. Snali cc vesti v evidenci lidi, kteti se ptestehovali a kte ti so proto musi dati znovu registrovati, jakol i miadei, ktera dospela hlaso vaciho veku. Ligu nezajimaji, ke kte re strane se voile prikloni, ji jde jen o

Mir a Americke tradice "Ve SpojenYch Statech pfeje si narod jeho vlada mir — —" psal president Eisenhower 12. ledna ptedsedovi vlady, Bulganinovi. "Poslednich atyticet let da va ptilelitost posouditi komparativni nit rove dokla,dy na gich dvou systernt. Ochotne tyto na ge doklady nestrannemu soudu lidstva." tasove rozpeti, o nem2 president millvi, vraci nas ke konci prvni svetove ky, do roku 1918. Spojene Staty vstoupiiy do tehdej gi valky pozde a zdrahave, bez lakekoll touhy po politickem nebo zemnim zisku. "Valka na skoncovani valky" bylo oblibenYznheslem onech hesla, ktere bohuZel nebralo ztetel na spletite skuteenosti mezinarodni situace, odratel se poeatek moderni americke tradice. .AZ do .prvni svetove valky- staly Spojene Staty ponekud isolovany od ostatni ho sveta, jeho't vedne valky byly pro. ne zdrojem podivu. Nag vstup do valky, oznaeene jako. "Great War", byl potatkern ulgiho zapojeni se do zahranidni politiky a zaha.jenim nageho patrani po for-. mull svetoveho miru, na ntimi jsme stejnY zajem jako ygechny ostatni ze me sveta.

Nikdo nepopira, ze Spojene Staty dopustily se raznYch ornyhl, jako kdy't na ptiklad usoudily, ze je .v zajmu avetoveho miru, aby do Spoleenosti narodU nevstoupily. Nage omyly nebyly v gak projevem touhy po valce, nYbr't nedostateene promyglenYm projevem nedoekavosti o nastoleni tr yaleho miru. V nagem poeinani za poslednich etyticet let neni ani jecline ukazky americke ittoenosti, za to vgak cela raga navrbil a zakrokii smetujicich ke zmirneni nebezpeei val ky.

Ve dvanacti letech, ktera od to doby plynula, zastala vase snaha o zachovani nuru nezmenena.

President Eisenhower ye svern dopise upozortiuje. ze americka vlacla je sestavena tak, le je pro ni nesnadno, ba skoro nemolno dopustiti se agrese. Vlada mule podniknouti okamlitY zakrok na, odraleni Utoku, nemtile v gak sama za ittoeiti bez ptedchoziho schvaleni zastupcti lidu v kongrese. Toto sch ydleni yyladuje delgi cas a vetejne projednani.

Jak se chovat pii seznani srdeeni choroby Na srdeeni choroby nejvic lidi ve Spo jenYch Statech umira, kdy se vyjme rok, kdy zemtelo mnoZstvi lidi na mfluenzu. Nemoc srdeeni nevi snad nemoci samotnou o sone, je v2dycky jaksi ptivociena jinYmi chorobami jako revmatickou nemoci, za gkrtem, akutnirn re vmatismem, zanetem plic i jinSrmi chorobami. Take choroba mandli i chorobrie dasne a zuby jsou jaksi zodpoveclny za chorobu srdeeni. Take jsou jine jegte ciavody vzniku srdeani vady a choroby vabec. Tak je to ptili gne telesne ptepjeti, nadmerne u2ivani alkoholickYch poja, anebo pov gechne kornateni cev. Po sledni tato nemoc jaksi zavini stvrdnuti cev, steny srdce utrpi a nemohou propouStet dostatek krve do srdce a zase ze srdce yen do cev.

Nektere choroby, jak zprvu jmenovany, zavini srdeeni vadu a chorobu jii v mladern veltu a tak stava se, 2e ditky gkolni vykazuji 1 a2 2 procenta srdeeni vady. Zanet mandli east° zavini u ditek chorobu srdeeni, ani2 by se to ihned poz nalo. Ma, se taidi2 poeitat s tim, ze, u ditka pokade zainet mandli ptisobi na srdce a zavini zaeateeni chorobu jeho.

Steny srdeeni jaksi se roz giti, srdeeni dutina se zvetgi a musi tudi2 pracovat s vettim izsilim, aby se krev dostala do obehu. Pozdeji teprve je to patrno, sval stvo nepracuje ji2 s takou lehkosti, dech se krati, nemocnY- kale ,objevi se i krev, boleni hlavy, krev modra a jevi se to na kuzi, objevuje se finava, podra2denost a melancholie.

Nejdtilelitej gi je, aby ihned byla nemoc tato zjigtena a zaeala se leeit co nejdkive at' u ditek at' u dospelS7ch. Zjisti se take ptieina choroby a ta must bYti systematicky odstratiovana. Kdy2 se sezna, ze ptiligne kouteni je toho

Jedine tim zgasobem cia se srdeeni choroba vylecit tak, aby nevzbuzovala vane obavy. Doporueuje se: 1. Ditky nemaji Ikonat namahavY pohyb po spade, anebo zagkrtu.

2. Po vyledeni revmatismu pacient ma zachovat klid, dokud srdce nevi zase v potadku.

S pozdravein Stry'eek MiZek z Austirni Adresa, stdeka je: Dr. Ed. Mieek, University Station. Austin, Texas. )o o Boiena Nemcova,:— Strejeek pkihoda Jeden chalupnik byl tuze chudY a nevedel, jak si ma k penezfun pomoci. I nodal mu cart dobie delat, Sel a ukracll na zamku pokladnici se vSemi penezi.

V noci si je ptines1 domil, a aby mu Zád nY na ne neptiSel, vyndal prah a pod nej je poloil. Zena se na neho divala a ptala se ho, kdo mu tolik penez dal.

Ale on vedel, ae ma hloupou'Zenu, a tak ji netekl nic, e je ukradl, nYbi2 jen, nejsou jeho. "Nu a proe je zakopavaS?" "Pro strYce Pilhodu," odpovedel chalupnik. Rano si nee() penez vzal, tekl Zene aby o torn nikomu nepovidala a Sel do mesta. Na zamku byl rano ktik, vSichni Sli zlodeji na stopu, ale nemohli se nieeho domakat. Bylo to k poledni, sel ka sedela venku a piedla. Tu jede kolem pan na koni; jak ho videla, myslila si, Ze to bude nejspige ten stryc Ptihoda, i vole, na neho: "Pane, pane, netikaji yam Piihoda?"

"Proe se ptate?" pravil s podivenim jezdec.

"Já mysiiia, 2e jste ten strYc Piihoda Z'e si jedete pro ty penize, co milj Honza pod prah zakopai."

Jezdec slySel ji o kra,d0i, ihned mu to napadlo, a on tekl selce, Ze se jmenu je "Ptihoda".

"Nu, tak pejd'te a vezinete si je, ma-

te je sehovane."

Jezdec slezl, selka mu odundala prah, on penize vzal a jel s nimi prima k zarn. ku. Tam kdy2 je poznali, hned eli s pou ty pro chalupnika. Ale Zena icida, c se jeSte nevratil, ale a.2 prijde, ae ho tam

V noel pi.A1 mua domb„ a kdyi mu kena s poteSemm vypravovala, e penize strYci Ptihodovi odevzdala, dostal takovou zlost, e by ji byl hnedle zabil. Chvili chodil po sednici a ptemYSlel, jak by se trestu zbavil. Najednou mu neco napadlo 1 tekl 2ene: "Ted' poslouchej, ty motyko hloupa! slySel jsem ve meste, ae bude dnes v noel potopa sveta, kdo se nesschova, ten se utopi. Ja, vylezu na strechu."

"A kam marn ja vlezt?" ptala se s plaeky selka.

"Jdi do kuchyne, ja zadelam kaklou dirku, a neptijde-ii voda aa na stfechu, tak ti nebude nic."

Selka tarn vlezla a mu:Z. zadelal ka1dou skulinu, aby tam voda nemohla.

Potom si ptistavil he stte ge 2ebtik a kominem Ill clad do kuchyne vodu. Zprvu se 'Zena modlila, ale dim dal ji voda Sla, tim vice ji bylo tilzko a koneene zaE-lechl mu'Z temnY ktik: "tltopim se pomoz, Honzo, main vody po krk." Honza pkestal lit, S'el ke kuchynce, a ti ge udelal maJST prUchod, aby voda ubihala. Skoo do Tana stala, selka v kuchyni, potom ji mug otevtel, vSecko se uklidilo, a on tekl: "AZ," sem ti pani ptijdou, mazes Ze byla potopa sveta." KdyZ" titednici nechtel se Honza k nieemu priznat, Pka, ‘Ze nebyl doma, Ze je i'ena bldzen, kdo vi, kterak tam penize ptiSly. Za volali Zenu a ptali se, kdy mud penize zakopaval.

"Pied potopou sveta," odpovedela 2ena a pevne na to stala.

Hdyt s hi nemohli pani nieeho sliest a mud zapiral, nechali to bYt, a tak uSel Honza trestu.

At 1:30 p.m., New Tabor Lodge No. President Vavra called the meeting to order, Sunday March 16, to open the District I Meeting of our SPJST fr:ternal order, to greet the members and guests and turn the gavel over to District I President, Brother Melvin Skrabanek.

Immediately the Children's Program was presented which was so enthusiastically received and it put the whole assembly into a holiday mood for the business session that followed.

Sincere thanks goes to Sisters Ruby and Bennie Matejka of the Bryan, Texas for their efforts in behalf of this program and to the children who gave us such a fine performance. Elsewhere in the Vestnik you will find a complete listing of this program.

Upon completion of the singing of "America" by the assembly, Brother M. Skrabanek launched into the rollcall of District I representatives of the lodges in that district. Those of you in District I who were not present well, it's your loss, for the day was beautiful, you could have made it and could have enjoyed yourself immensely as did the crowd that was present.

Brother Steve P,egMund, Secretary of District I, read the minutes of the last meeting held at Dime Box, which were approved as read.

President M. Skrabanek greeted and recognized the various officers from our Headquarters, Directors, Organizers and gneots and- while Vice-President of our Brother Joe, Hejny was preparing t of the program, the presentas of Dist-Act I Organizers with the i_ct r their Brother Vaclav Brother John Chupick, secretary of our Supreme Lodge spoke to the good folks of Burleson County and vicinity as "coming to his second home" for this pioneer Chupick family has a good

many relatives in this section of Texas.

"We come here to- Novy Tabor to get together and refresh ourselves in spirit, to try to do something for our fellow brother in this great organization," Brother Chupick stated. "It is to us who have been in the SPJST since its .founding that this all means something so very special to us. This fraternal order was handed down to us as a heritage, to pernhtuate this organization and its ideals for which it stands. While it was founded in the Czech language, it was really an American institution. It is well that we are reminded, of the many fine things whichour organization stands for and fitting that we do something to make it still -a better organization than it was before." Brother Chupick reminesced in the Czech language for the benefit of our membership who can better converse in the Czech tongue, of our fine Czech songs, songs he learned at his mother's knee, the beautiful emotions of man that they contained and their inspirations to man to accomplish something for his fellowman during his allotted time on this earth. Brother Chupick is a noted extemporaneous speaker whose messages to our membership leaves us all feeling a little closer and kindlier to each other. There are so few speakers of this type left, which is to man's -sorrow.

Brother Chupick complimented the Editor on his work with our fraternal paper and on the brotherly relations that exist between the paper and the officers of our Supreme Lodge. (Thank you Brother Chupick.)

Brother Joe Skrabanek, Director in cur SPJST who hails from the Houston lodge 88, also claims that locally, namely; Snook, Texas, as his birthplace, and he too; carried fond memories of this part of Texas. Brother Skrabanek invited the gathering to the District V Meeting which is to be held Sunday, April 13, in Houston at Lodge Tokrok 88.

Your Editor Hosek then called attention to the lobbying in our legislature in Austin against all "fraternal" organizations; that in order not to succomb to the same category as our commercial In-

surance companies and thus to be highly taxed, we must practice our lodge rituals, hold monthly meetings and in true fraternal spirit conduct our business to keep our fraternal individuality.

It was pointed out that this lobbying costs our competitors of insurance selling more than all the upkeep of our SPJST headquarters plus the cost of our publication.

Your Editor urged that lodge reporters keep the membership informed of their immediate lodge 'and youth club activities, for an informed membership is an interested and active membership, Your editor commented upon the fine children's program just presented and urged all present members to take some of this keen enthusiasm back home into their respective lodges.

Brother Stepan, Director of District I in our Supreme Lodge, complimented the enthusiasm of the meeting.

Brother Charles Cerny, recently returned from a week's insurance course in Dallas at Southern Methodist University, pointed out that the SPJST was a TEXAS Institution and that all of our money stayed in Texas. He further pointed out that the investment that we all are putting into this SPJST is used for retirement money, for helping build homes, build farms, right here in Texas, that it thus helps build Texas, and that our members get first preference on loan applications. He further pointed out that the $1,000 policy that a great many members have( which in its time was a lot of money) was- only "undertaker money" today, leaving nothing for the Family. He urged those under 45 years of age and still eligible, to take out that other $9,000 for maintenance of the family and its education should the breadwinner pass away before his time.

Brother Hilscher, President of Lodge 88 in Houston, gave the assembly an example of how in his own family circle, adequate insurance "Saved the day" of the family of his kin, a young man killed in an accident.

Sister Frances Olexa, also a participant in the week's schooling at SMU in Dallas insurance course, urged the worn-

Ve stfedu, dne 26. bfezna 1958 en to check the family policies and "push" for adequate coverage of the family. She is also a member of the Pree,s. Committee.

Brother Frank Olexa, our congenial I brother also from. Lodge 88 Houston, complimented the District I, Meeting and extended an invitation to visit District V Meeting to be held in Houston in April.

Dietrict President M. Skrabanek then introduced the County Judge of Burleson County, Brother Clint Lewis, who was present at the meeting, a member of Lodge No. 17.

Burleson County Clerk, Brother John Toupal, also a member of our brotherhood, son of our now deceased brother and long-time friend, John Toupal and his charming "maminka" (mother) were introdueed. to the gathering. It was so nice to see all of these nice folks again With greetings and well wishes out of the way, Brother M. Skrabanek called forth the election of District I, officers for the year 1958.

Brother M. Skrabanek declined 'to accept nomination for the presidency for District I, for 1958, stating that due to previous commitments necessary -to his livlihood he could , not accept. We are truly sorry, for our fraternal order needs young men of his educational background to have a vital interest in our organization, so we regretted to see him step down and we all thank him for the nice job he preformed as president of District I, in the year 1957.

After elimination of presidential candidates by voting by the raising of hands by the eligible membership, Brother Willie Trealek was then elected President of District I, for the coming year 1958.

position of Youth Director and was duly elected for the year 1958.

Brother Steve Regmund, secretary then read the financial report for District Now followed the presentation of awards to the District I, Organizers.

Brother Joe Hejny with the aid of District I Organizer, Brother Vaclav Barina, presented the participating organizers of District I, -according to their achievements in selling insurance, with awards, namely: a beautiful leather brief case with the name of each recipient stamped in gold.

Because Brother V. Barina sold over $25,000 insurance, he was eligible for the Gold Pin t/3 the "$25,000 Club."

Brother Barina announced that in the year 1958, he would personally sponsor awards to the sum of $200 to be divided between his District I organizers in prizes to those of his organizers who will sell the most insurance.

Brother Skrabanek (didn't catch his initials)' organizer in the District I group near Snook, doubled his sales over 1956, selling over $23,000 insurance was top man on the list, followed by a comparatively newly elected organizer, Brother Frank Vytopil of Wheelock who thus far sold over $15,000 insurance; followed by Brother P. P. Baron with over $12,000 to his credit, who commented: "that the very nice gift of his brief case didn't leave anyone any excuse for not working" in the coming year, which was loudly applauded by all; then Brother Schovajsa with his over $16,000 sales; and, of course, Brother Vaclav Barina, who heads the organizers' group for District I, with his over $25,000 sale of insurance. All of these organizers mentioned above received beautiful leather brief cases stamped in gold.

The Editor and wife wish to thank the New Taborites for their invitation to be with you that beautiful Sunday in such wonderful com p any, to thank each and every one of you for the fine comments and. encouragement on our Vestnik, and here is our assurance again to keep our Vestnik free of controversies.

After being cooped up so long due to the inclimate weather, the long journey was most pleasant, especially as we neared our destination there was evidence of spring with the trees budding out their fresh green leaves, the new oat pastures, winter grass pastures, and lazy cattle sunning themselves and the pretty towns with their neat and trim gardens and lawns with blooming red bud trees, blooming peach and plum trees, brilliant iris, yellow jasmine and stock of all hues in full bloom. What a contrast to the northern part of our state where the trees are still slumber ing!

Brother Joe also informed organizers that the new Rate 'Books were already completed but had not yet been "okeyed" by the Texas Insurance Department in Austin, for release to printing, so he could not give the organizers a definite date for release, pending the neceThe place of the next District I Meet- ssary "okay". ing will be announced later by the offiWith the enthusiastic singing of "Hej cers of that district in our Vestnik.

There followed rafters of New Tabor Hall, the meeting a lengthy "question and answer" session adjourned and upon the invitation of between candidate Sister Matejka, it the good sisters of Lodge 17 of New v, or outlined how the Youth Program Tabor Lodge, we all partook of their wirl-s so successfully at the Corpus delicious coffee and pasteries. and San Antonio Lod ges and It was truly a fine meeting — brothbet-roan our Vice -President Brother Joe ers and sisters on equal footing as our Ilfejny, who is also in charge of the Creator intended, whether we hail from Youth Program on the Supreme Lodge town or country, to encourage and inlevel. spire each other for the good of our Sister Lillie Mae Matejka of the Bryan SPJST for the betterment of our CounLodge accepted the nomination for the try, State and our descendents.

Just around the corner a short distance from the cemetery stands the New Tabor Lodge Hall, No. 17, and a short distance from the Hall their Czech Moravian Brethren Church and there on a short distance the Hus School Encampment, a lovely place for youngsters to spend the summer in the atmosphere of peace, sunshine, happiness and love.

That's the Community of New Tabor, or our Novy Tabor!

Brother Frank Vytopil, was elected Vice-President by the same method and Brother Steve Regmund of the Bryan Lodge was again persuaded to accept the Secretaryship of the district for another year which work he so commendably carried out.

As we rounded the corner of Highway 166 at the New Tabor Cemetery, one could not help but notice the well kept cemetery with its multitude of varied colored blooms on the graves.

Here lie our Czech pioneers that came to this part of Texas, many, many years ago, here on this hilltop facing the rising sun, lie these dear Czech people asleep and their graves are tended by the loving hands of the younger ones of these pioneer families. Here from this cradle of Czech immigrants to this New Country, Novy Tabor and its im mediate vicinity, are scattered descendents of these first families all over this New Country, now our America, who lovingly look back to this place where these families first took root, and look back with pride.

May they all prosper and carry on in our fine tradition as law abiding citizens and continue to raise some fine families as we have had the pleasure to see in your fine Lodge Hail.

No Superior To Life Insurance For The "Little Man" Recently we asked a partner in a very reliable investment house what kind of securities he sold the small investor. Specifically we asked, "What do you have for the little man, such as trust shares, etc?" The investment man's reply was, "There isn't now and never has been anything for the little man. Sooner or later all small ivestors will be wiped out, because the big investors can control the market." That should be sufficient answer to the man who wants to II13.1:e some quick profits in the stock market, or who says that he can afford to invest his money in something besides life insurance. We don't claim that everybody should invest all of his idle funds in life insurance, but for the "little man" there is no superior to life insurance.

Financial Strength In In Our SPJST. The best measure of an insurance company's strength is the ratio of net worth to insurance in force. "Net worth" of the company represents funds that are available for protection in addition tc the normal legal reserve required by law. Our SPJST has an unusually high ratio of assets to liabilities.

How Does Life Insurance Benefit Me?

Our Policy Benefits You!

Life Insurance is a big co-operative undertaking — in fact the biggest in the world. It can operate only by co-operation. One man, or one group of men, could not assume the responsibilities which are spread thin over millions.

This plan of Life Insurance is a human device which has performed miracles for thousands. It has been proven over the years of its existence to be mathematically sound, and scientifically correct. It is not miraculous in the Biblical sense, but in the sense in which it cooperates with man in the fulfilment of the fundamental urges of human life, — that, to safeguard the future of his loved ones, — and also the stimulation of the ambition of the young man that it may become the satisfaction of the old man, in secure retirement. ) • Ito •

The SPJST has long adheared to the motto: "We Shall Keep Faith." This, we believe, is the one most important function of management. But we have many other basic policies that are important, teo. In the desire to serve policyholders better, with an underlying desire to remind all policyholders of the importance of their insurance program.

Each person should review his insurance program annually. With the changing cost of living pattern, a satisfactory program of a few years ago is woefully inadequate today. Through its organizers SPJST stands ready to give you a thorough, unbiased analysis of your present insurance. You owe this to your family — and to yourself!

•( )•

Will You Please Consider THAT — Humanity's greatest achievements are nothing if they do not serve to make human life easier, richer and fuller. Similarly medical science must recognize the need to link its practice with the life of each human being and the sorroundings in which he lives. This is how medicine really becomes "social medicine." The responsibility is not that of the doctor alone — the new concept must be understood and supported by society as a whole in order that medicine may exercise its full influence on human lives and play its full part in building a better world.

That, you do alone.

Her Greatest Want A Job

A provocative note was struck on a recent "People Are Funny" radio show when one contestant was asked what she wanted more than anything else in the world.

Everyone, including thousands of listeners, expected the usual answer. --a mink coat, $5,000, new car, or fulfillment of some frivolous desire. But she said: "I'm a widow, 56 years old, and I cannot get a job because everyone tells me I'm too old. 'want a job!"

What she meant was: "I want peace of mind, the old-age security that life insurance could have provided. Now„ only a job will give it to me. Maybe I'm at fault, too. Years ago I should have helped our insurance man persuade my husband to forsee the future. I need that job, today to live."

The moral this incident points is obvious, isn't it?

So please take care of -a adequate life insurance plan in time!

Free The Farmers The March issue of the Reader's Digest features a challenging article entitled, "Let's Set the Farmers Free." Its author is Earl M. Hughes — a successful Illinois grain and livestock farmer, an agricultural economist of note, and a former vice-president of theCommodity Credit Corporation, which handles the government's $8 billion farm surplus hoard.

Mr. Hughes' solution to the farm problem is based on abandonment of "the impossible job of trying to legislate farm income through direct price supports." The government's main job, he believes, should be to help find new uses and markets for farm products, and then to turn farmers loose to produce in response to free market prices.

And he cites an actual and outstanding example of how, in a free market, food consumption can be increased and diet upgraded.

Here is what he says: "At the sharp break in the price of beef in 1953 there were howls that Congress should fix prices on beef cattle. But most cattlemen figured, that the real answer was to sell more beef to the housewife, not to the government larder. They joined with packers, retailers, farm groups and government in an intensive promotion effort. The housewife got a bargain, and we ate our way out of the beef glut. In the past five years beef consumption has jumped from 62 to 85 lbs. per person per year. If the government had stepped in to fix prices and control production, we would have had a beef scandal to dwarf the 500-milliondollar potato fiasco of 1947-51, when millions of bushels were given away or destroyed with kerosene. And we'd have a sick beef industry today."

This isn't theory — it's hard fact. The meat industry has provided us with a blueprint for getting agriculture back on a free enterprise basis of operation —which is the only sound and secure basis.

TEXAS

Report From Congres man "Jim" Passage of the Omnibus bill is an event of unusual significance. The last such general authorization became law in 1954. Meanwhile, dramatic new needs have arisen in many areas of the country.

The bill itself contained 149 projects scattered over 46 states and the territories. Included were a number of Texas projects on which Corps of Engineers studies had been completed.

Among other things, the bill authorizes a broad resurvey of the entire Trinity River basin in the interest of barge navigation. It is believed such a survey now will demonstrate economic benefits exceeding costs by at least two to one.

Much has been said about an accelerated public works program to arrest the present decline and promote economic recovery. Surely, among all public works undertakings, water developments are economically the soundest.

Alone among public construction activities, water programs are judged by the stern criteria of benefit-to-cost ratios. In order to qualify, they must not only pay for themselves but return dividends on the investment.

While the projects in this bill will create jobs and stimulate construction activity during completion, they are not "make-work" programs. The principal virtue of flood control and navigation works is that they protect life and property, promote the growth of industry and stimulate the flow of commerce, in turn enriching the free American economy and creating ever more job opportunities for American men and women for years and years to come.

Fraternalism Fraternalism means brotherliness: the care and concern of one for another; indeed we are our brothers keeper, and in this precept we fashion our lives in accordance with that rule of conduct, The Golden Rule, found in all the religions of the world.

The fraternal societies of the world have been established upon and are acting according to this principle of human conduct, and you as pcominent members of these societies are every day engaged in the advance of a better understanding among all men and help and care to your fellowman.

There is nothing of a compulsory nature in your ministrations, as true brotherhood does not admit to any force or compulsion, else the real spirit is done, rather the free will offering is made and the person to whom the offer is made is free to accept or reject according to his own desires.

How different this is from the concept of care which seems to prevade much of our government thinking at, the present time.

There the idea seems to prevail that a fraternalistic government shall decide that which is proper and best for all of us and after such a decision is made, it shall be imposed upon the people whether they like it or not. This is pure fraternalism; — of the ancient school as it were; — you do as we say because we know what is best for you; —and, incidentally, of course you foot the bill.

"Sometimes life insurance and life insurance men have been accused of being sloppily sentimental about death. It is the average man and not the life insurance solicitor who have been sloppy sentimental about death.

"The man who refuses to face the facts,: who created the illusion in his own mind that, he of all men, is exempt from the law of mortality, is sloppily sentimental.

FROM OUR DISTRICTS DISTRICT TWO MEETING This is a last minute reminder and invitation for every SPJST member from District 2 and all other interested persons to attend the SPJST District 2 meeting on this coming Sunday, March 30. The meeting will start at 1:00 p.m. and will be held at the Komensky Lodge 20 Hall in Granger.

From the plans which have been announced by the district officers and members of the host lodge, this promises to be a most interesting and enjoyable meeting for all SPJST members and their entire families. So plan now to bring your entire family to the meeting.

Highlights of the meeting will be a program of entertainment by talented youth, a highly informative and inspiring address by Vice President Hejny, an Easter Egg Hunt for the children, special reports on organizational and youth activities and the rest home, election of officers, and last but certainly not least the hospitality and friendliness of the host lodge members during the refreshments and social period.

Some lodges have always been unrepresented at previous district 2 meetings.

Let's make this meeting one of 100 per cent representation from all the lodges in the district.

Since the organizational and youth activities of the SPJST have recently taken on a new and guided emphasis and vigor and since both the state and new district organizers will be present at this meeting, each lodge should make sure that, at the very least, its organizer or sense other lodge representative will be in attendance. If you as a member are really interested in the future of your lodge and of the SPJST, invite your organizer to attend and bring along as many of your members as possible to show him and others that you are interested in and are supporting his efforts.

On the agenda for this meeting we have, besides routine business, a short in by cur youth, followed by an "ter egg hunt, which I am sure eveery child will enjoy.

For the 'p rincipal speaker we have the promise of our Vice President, Brother Joe B. Hejny to fill that post. which we know he can and will do splendidly. Besides his short addreSs, he will brief us on the present youth activities, and also those in planning.

For the organizers he will talk insnrance, and sales of insurance, and "ndl work with, and help plan, the work of our new district organizer, Brother Ben Mikolaj. It is urgent, that all organizers of our district be present in this meeting. May be, our district has been a little unconcerned about 801.nig SPJST insurance, we know SPJST is gcod insurance and by far cheaper than any other. But being as we have the Supreme headquarters here, and now the Rest Home, I think that, that M itself is a good selling point. Maybe, we will do better in the future, best of luck to you, Brother Mikolaj, and all district organizers.

Car Vice President Brother, Hejny has been, (by the last convention) charged with big responsibilities. The sales of insurance, and youth activities. wish to compliment hirre on the way i . e is handling that job. I for one, don't think, that we have any cause for disaPpeintment.

Report Fro m Novy Tabor Elsewhere in the Vestnik you will find the Children's Program which was presented at the District I Meeting, held at New Tabor 0e1511, Sunday March 16, under the supervision of Mrs. Rudy Matejka and her co-worker, Mrs. Bennie Ma tej ka.

The highlight of the program was the Style Show, presented by members' daughters, all under 12, which provoked so much mirth, for the little ladies modeled their mother's clothing and hats, shoes and bags as well as belts to their best "dis-advantage," As the Fashion Commentator, Mrs. Rudy Matejm, pointed out, all the creations were imports from the Fashion Centers of the World and beginning with a pretty cotton dress, modeled by Miss Zapomel was "just the thing for a neighborly bunch, to run into town, washable, light and only $25.; while the Evening dress modeled by Miss Nepasuje, featured an interesting front effect a frou-frou, of the same dress material, thin shoulder straps and on interesting low back decoliete, full, floor length skirt, and a white gossemer nylon eveningcoat to match, a must in every woman's wardrobe. The coat could be also worn as a duster, washable and only $50.

The Swim Suit so effectively modeled

by Miss Veliky, was the latest thing in bathing suits, with commentator's remarks "every lady mustreally have one for afternoon swims, running in and out of rain and sounbathing," While it may be too large at first, shrinkage will make it just right for daughter, guaranteed for that — colorfast and reduced to only $39.50.

The dark brown silk Dinner Dress worn by model Betty Kratka, accentuated the long-waist look, or if the wearer was of short stature, could be janked up to give the blouson effect, featuring off the shoulder neckline, shirred waist and floor length skirt with matching shoes and accessories, "truly girls, a dress to wear out to dinner so husband won't have to wash dishes. Worn low, the train behind had to be watched so delinquent boys won't step on it, at only $98."

The latest word in slacks as modeled •by Miss G a tke, as Fashion Commentator Mad:rae 11,1ate: pointed cut, just the thing for fis:hin:. Ticknicking cr working in the yar ...'" -n:::-1.7red black pants on elasticized wahLand wlt.h white top, washable, drip-dry material, in size to fit the slick chick or the pleasing plump matron, to the highest style." Only 825.

The two-toned Coat Suit, Coat one

color and skirt of another color with matching shoes, bag, hat, earrings ect., modeled by Miss Nerozuma was the thing for Church, Funerals and Wed-c dings, reduced to $129.

The House Robe, as shown by Miss Pleskata, a must for that quick trip, or when welcoming unexpected company or the bill collector at the door, suitable for either man or woman, whoever grabbed it first with matching clogs, can be worn belted or loose, reduced to only $25.

The Sack Dress or what is better known as the Chemise . Dress as shown

by Miss Pitlova, made of sacking, was the pinnacle of the show. Made of sheer white material, to be worn belted or without a belt, cut straight from neck to toe, this dress would conomand the "second look" anywhere for it was cool and — not shaadowproofed.

The little models slinked and slithered, preened and turned on the stage like true models to show each creation to its "dis-advantage." From odds and ends picked up at home and as in the case of the sack dress, flour sacks made that creation, with mother's very high heeled shoes of various colors to match the dresses, hats that were held up only by the model's ears, earrings that dangled, baggs, belts, and the way they walked in those too big shoes (clomp-clomping) and stumbling in the flowing skirts, created a hilarious "show" that was not expensive to give, created lots of fun for both girls — all of whom like to play ladies — and the audience, it was most enjoyable. The witty comments by the Fashion Commentator, of course, adds to the merriment. Try one of these "shows" at your next lodge meeting. )•

• 4, LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON, TEXAS It gives us great pleasure to set aside our regular routine work, and devote our time to our Lodge No. 88 children, for our future Easter Program. First, we would like to remind our members of Lodge 88 that we had to change our program, from March 23rd to April 6th at 3:30 p.m. We hope this will not be confusing to some of our members. If you will notice; Brother Louis Harms announced the date of our program in his last letter, and it was too late to change the correct date of our program, as his previous letter was in the hands of our editor. Please don't forget to mark your calendar for the Easter Program, April 6th. We would like to have as many children participating in our program as possible. So bring out your Easter basket, and enjoy the evening with Mr. Bunny. We wish to announce one more thing; there will be a Modern Dance that same night for our Teen-Agers.

Tickets are being sold in advance for the dance, by our ambitious Lodge sisters. We would appreciate, if the mothers could contact any of the following sisters by phone for our program: Sister Estelle Kelly UN 1 7435, Della Kadlecak UN 4 1921, Maxine Sefcik UN 9 1451, in order to line out our Easter Program.

Please feel free to call on us at any convenient time. We will be expecting to hear from you.

All of the sneoenes and discussions during the meetin o were very interesting and educational.

I must mention the good tasty afternoon lunch that was served at the close by the good ladies of New Tabor Lodge. Gosh, there was so much to eat, I even got a poppy seed kolac which is my favorite.

All in all this was a great day for us and I want to tell all of you people that missed this meeting that you robbed yourself of a barrel of fun, good eats, meeting new people and many other things. Seems as if every one I met knew my husband or some of his people. I felt just like at home between all these people.

It wars :a great honor to be elected as your District', Youth Director and although I know very little about it yet, I plan to learn, help and teach to the best of my ability. We have no local youth leader here at our Lodge No. 39, but we plan to elect one in the near future. All ladies from our lodge are urged to attend the next meeting as this will be discussed.

bers who have the most points by attending local meetings, district meetings, programs, etc. Everyone has an equal chance.

Finally, the weather has permitted us to began work in the fields. In the month of January and February, we had twenty-inches of rainfall. The crops are delayed by three weeks. Everyone is now busy planting cotton and maize. Many fields have grown up in weeds and now they have to be rebedded. A farmer always has troubles, not enough rain, or the opposite, too much.

Since the last time I wrote to the Vestnik, I've received several letters from Czechoslovakia. The packages that I mailed overseas, have been received by the people. Everyone seems to be glad to receive a letter and a package from the U.S.A. A letter to a friend "Behind the Iron Curtain" is just as good as"Dollars for Radio Free Europe".

So let's all write often .to our loved ones.

Peace an American Tradition "In the United States," President Eisenhower wrote, "the people and their government desire peace — The past 40 years provide an opportunity to judge the comparative peace records of our two systems. We gladly submit our national record to the impartial judgement of mankind."

The span of 40 years which the President mentions would take us back to 1918 to the end of the First World War. The United States had entered that war late and reluctantly, without any desire for political or territorial gain.

"The war to end war" was a popular slogan in those days. It was a slogan which — however it may have overlooked the complex realities of the international situation — reflected the beginning of a modern American tradition.

Prior to the First World War, the American people had been isolated from and somewhat puzzled by what seemed to them a continuous series of wars all over the world. Our entrance into the Great War, as it was then called, marked the beginning of a deeper involvment in foreign affairs, and the beginning of our search for a formula for world peace which concerned us much as it did other nations.

Mistakes were undoubtedly made by the United States — such as the mistaken belief that the cause of peace would be best served if we did not join the League of Nations — but they were mistakes made because of a eagerness for peace, not because of any desire to promote war. The record to which Mr. Eisenhower points shows not a single instance of American aggression anywhere. Furthermore, the record shows a whole series of proposals and steps designed to minimize the possibility of war.

And down through the past 12 years the record for peace has continued.

As President Eisenhower points out in his letter, the American government is so constructed as to make it difficult -- even impossible — for it to commit an act of a,ggression. It can respond promptly to an attack, but it cannot initiate war without prior approval of the peoples' representatives in Congress — a process which requires time and public debate.

But history gives proof that there is yet another reason why no nation need fear aggression by the United States.

That as the President pointed out, is its record for peace.

VRSTNIX — WEST, TEXAS We Americans naturally see ourselves as a peaceful and peace-loving people.

So it comes as a shock to us to realize that in a large part of the world our devotion to peace is often regarded with doubt and suspicion. It may well be that our record for peoce and the assurances of our official spokesmen, however earnest, are not convincing enough.

More convincing may be the simple statements of ordinary people like ourselves in our letters to relatives and friends abroad. Each of these millions of letters can testify that peace is foremost in the minds of all Americans — that for us, as President Eisenhower once said, "there can be no alternative to peace." ) • • (-Texas

Department of Health

Half the men and a fourth of the women in the United States smoke cigarettes daily, according to a recent survey by the U.S. Bureau of Census. That adds up to something like 38 million cigarette addicts — 25 million men and 13 million women.

S lating smoking to cancer death rates, it is possible to prove the connection by laboratory methods. By condensing the smoke of burning cigarettes and painting the gummy tars on the shaven backs of nice or rabbit% laboratory technicians have produced cancerous growths on the animals.

The question as to whether men smoked but quit have a lower death rate than those who have not quit has also been answered statistically, Men who quit ten years before the study was made showed a death rate almost as low as those who had never smoked.

Should you stop smoking? You must answer that question alone. Ask yourself if the fleeting pleasures you get from cigarettes -- described as "adult pacifiers" by the late Dr. William Mayo, outweigh the risk involved.

And keep in mind that the best scientific research talent in the world is convinced that steady cigarette smoking constitutes a hazard of major proportions.

The American Cancer Society has turned its results over to the National Institute of Health for further checking.

"What's this?" asked the teacher.

"That the 'Flight into Egypt'," replied the tot. "That's Mary, Joseph, Infant Jesus and Pontius the Pilot."

Those figures, besides revealing the extent to which the smoking habit has become ingrained among Americans, accentuate the grimness of the recently validated relationships between cigarette consumption and the general death rate, including dreaded lung cancer.

It took the American Cancer Society four years of concentrated study of the smoking habits of 188,000 men to reach Judge: "What brought you here?" those conclusions: Prisoner: "Two policemen."

Judge: "Drunk, I suppose?"
