Vdeene vzpominame A. Kornenskeho Letos vzpominame 366. yYrodi naroze ni prveho exulanta, nejptednejgiho Jednoty 6eskkeh Bratii, Jana Amose Komenskeho.

Narodil se r. 1592 v therskem Brode, zemtel 15. listopadu v Amsterdamu.

Jeho otec, Martin, byl mlynatem, ale zahy zemiel, rovnet i jeho matka Anna, take Komenskk byl upine na sebe odkazan. Nejprve se ho ujala teta ve Strat kde choclil do gkoly. Po potaru me sta roku 1605 chopil se rozlidnYch mine stnani a at roku 1608 dostal se k Often Dubinovi do Pterova, kde se meal udit latine.

Roku 1611 vypravil se KomenskY s mla dym hrabetem z Kunovic na akademii v Nassaysku. Ptiklonil se hlavne stakiekemu vykiadateli bible Janu Fisherovi a mladernu pansofovi Janu Jindtichu Alstedovi.

Do let pobytu Komenskeho v Herbornu ptipadaji tet prvni jeho zadatky jako spisovatele. Krome vydani tiskem dvou udenYch disputaci, podal jit zde sestavovat velika dila na nicht po leta pracoval. Byl to pfedev gim "Poklad jazyka deskeho", jimt chtel deskemu narodu zptistupnit latinu. Po etyticet let proto sbiral k latinskSrm sloyfim ptimetene des Ice vSTrazy, irsiovf, ptislovi a potekadla.

Kdyt toto dilo bylo koneene hotovo a piipraveno k tisku, bylo znideno le genskYm potarem v roce 1656.

Pobyv dve leta v Herbornu, vydal se pak Kornensk)", roku 1613 na ,cesty a dostal se po prve do Amsterdamu. Onemoc nel tam., vratil se a 1:47val na universite v Heidelbergu, kde ziskal velmi cennST, ptivodni rukopis slavneho hvezdake Kopernika.

Roku 1614 vratil se Komen.skST pies Prahu na Moravu, kde se staff uditelem na pterovske gkole. Zde pro sve taky sestavil latinskou mluvnici. ye sve cirkvi se pak chtel stat kazatelem. R. 1616 kdy dosahl pinoletosti, byl zaroveri s Drabikem vysvecen na kneze v Zeravicich. Vyudoval mladet a poma,hal v duchovni spra y& R. 1618 dostal misto duchovniho spravce i gkoly nedavno pied tim zfizene ve Fulneku. Zde zazil Komensk nefgt'astnej gi leta sveho tivota. Otenil se a pokradoval ye studiich. Nashromatdil knihovnu a pokra,doval ve svYch spisech. Nebylo mu vgak doptano, aby se dlouho tesil rodinnemu gtesti. Hned po 'W ye belohradske byl nucen prchnout.

Zerotina a starotitnosti morayske."

Uvahy o nestalosti vecipozemskSrch vedly ho k sestaveni spisu kterft nazval "Labyrint sveta a raj srdce."

Net vgak po mnoha svizelich KomenskST navtdy opustil vlast, napsal nejpted nej gi vychovatelskY spis "Didaktika Velika,". V ni vyjadtil navod, jak v gemu je mono se naudit, jak posilat lidi do gkol a tak pomoci potlaeene cirkvi i statu.

Vzdelani, gkolstvi byly jedny z nejvetgich zasluh Jana Amose Komenskeho.

Byl tet vybidnut, aby ucil metafysice na vyggi gkole v Elblagu.

R. 1648 byl zvolen biskupem Jednoty.

Vratil se do Le gna. Jako 77 1etSr statec, vydal jests spis "Jedno • pottebne", v nemt vypisuje bludy a souteni lidska, lid nedini rozdil mezi vecini pottebnS•mi a nepottebnYmi. Nemci, Anglidane, 8vedove, Mad'ati zvali Komenskeho, aby pti gel organisovat jejich skoly. KomenskSr bloudil Evropou skoro padesat let. Toutil po navra to do vlasti, ale tehdy rakou gti cisatoye to nedovolili. KomenskS7 se proto dotadoval pomoci u Svedu a Anglidana, aby pomohl ‘Cechtim k navratu .

Stalo se, te roku 1631 se 6e gi mohli koneene vratit do Prahy. Bylo to v dobe, kdy protestante zvitezili a dobyli Cechy. ' vedove byli s kralem Rok na to vgak S Gustavem Adolfem v bitve u Lutzenu po rateni. 6e gi se musili zase stehovati z eech. Kdyt byl ye Westfalsku uzaviran mir, o Cesich se tam ani nezminili a tak vgichni exulanti musili zilstat v cizine a Jan Amos Komensk3i mezi nimi.

Tam i zemtel. )•

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK problem of gotting dollars ready to come an old man.

Is Life Insurance Our put to work when death or old age Ask the question of your experiences, destroys earning power. Certainty of and you will find the answer in LIFE future income is the first of the two INSURANCE. Because the life insurance Obligation? premium deposit is made, month after reasons why men save and invest.

Why do you save and invest? If you were to ask the question of a hundred different men, you wound receive a hundred different answers. At first thought the hundred answers would appear to have little in common, but as you analyzed them, they would lead you to see that the real reason men seek to save, is because they realize: First, that future income is uncertain; and second, that future income is absolutely necessery to future happiness.

We like to believe that men save and invest because they desire to accumulate capital, or because they want to be well thought of by their associates. We may ascribe an abundance of reasons for the drive that leads men to save and invest.

Despite the wonders of our changing world and the inrush of that which is new and strange, one ancient law remains, the law which says that a man must be at work or" ,,he must have dollars to put to work for him, or there will be no income. And if there is no income, there will be misery.

This picture adds emphasis to our first conclusion that men save and invest for two reasons and for two reasons only: First, because of the uncertainty of the future and second, because future economic and personal happiness depends upon the certainty of future income.

Dollars ready to put to work against the coming of the day when death shall wipe away earning power! Dollars ready to put to work against the coming of the day when nature's slow process of wearing out a man shall have been compie ted! Dollars to be put to work so there will be income for those who live and for the welfare of those to whom a man has cheerfully and gladly obligated himself! Dollar to be put to work so there will be income for the spent old man who needs in his sunset days the comforts and pleasures to which his standard of living has accustomed him!

The problem of personal finance is the

We say income is simply income, but therein lies the error. Income is not simply income — it either is past income or future income.

Past income, the income of yesterday and last year and all the years before, has done its job. Past income maintained the family standard of living. It bought the schoolbooks. It provided the home.

It paid the doctor and the dentist. It kept the home as a home should be kept.

It brought us and our families up to the present moment of our lives.

But there is a tomorrow as well as a yesterday. There is a future to which we look forward, a coming day with our dreams and hopes. As the past had to have income to make it what it was, so the future must have income to make it what we hope it will be.

Into that unknown land of tomorrow into which we travel daily, lives everything for which we live. Life is dear to us not so much because of what happened yesterday but because of what we hope will happen tomorrow.

Take away future income and you destroy all that for whiCh a man lives.

We can make no single plan for the future, small though that plan may be, which does not rest for its completion upon the certainty of future income.

Because we realize that future income is of paramount importance to future economic happiness.

It follows then that to select a savings and investment plan which actually will lead to the objective of a guaranteed future income is one of the most important decisions any man can make.

What plan shall be used? Are the plans that men are following bringing them financial independence?

We must have a plan which will get the old man's dollars out of the young man's pocketbook, keep them out, appreciate them at interest, save them carefully, and send them ahead to be waiting surely and certainly , ready for the day when the young man has be-

month, year after year, the life insurance plan works and the young man is able to resist the temptation of spending the old man's dollars. )• •(

Czech and Russian In the University of Texas

CALVIN C. CERVENKA We are glad to present to our readers the newly elected President of District II, Brother Calvin C. Cervenka, of Rogers, Texas.

In accepting this responsible position we hope that, as one of our younger members, he will have the cooperation of all his District Membership. ) • 4. • (

Remember that with the stroke of your pen you can create an estate — that can guarantee security for your family and also provide funds for your own retirement. Do you have an adequate insurance program? -- Our fraternity offers a number of fraternal insurance policies for you . or every member of your family.

Do not neglect to see or call your local organizer or call direct for a program of protection from our Supreme Lodge, Box 400, Temple, Texas.

Czech is the most developed Slavonic language and the key to other Slavic languages spoken by more than 200 million of people..

Our citizens of Czech origin were among the first settlers in Texas. They came after the revolution in 1848 because they were persecuted by the Austrian government. Today we have in Texas more than 300,000 citizens of Czech origin. Most of them own land, and they are among the most prompt taxpayers of our State. From the beginning of our University they have roved themselves to be loyal friends of our Alma Mater. Many men and women of Czech origin, our ex-students, occupy prominent positions in our State. Registrar Mathews stated in the Alcade, December, 192,8: "The Czechs of Texas constitute one of the most energetic supporters of education in the State.

They are good friends of the University."

It was in the school year 1925-27 when I came to the University of Texas and started to teach Czech language and literature-after my graduate study in Prague, King's College, the University of London, and Chicago. In my class I had 14 students. Next year I taught 3 courses and soon 5 courses — 15 hours weekly for several years. When my throat beeame seriously ill and was twice operated on, my dean at last gave me an assistant, Dr. Jaroslav E. Zivney, who left our University 4 years ago.

The non-profit project was undertaken after it was dicovered that the Communists in Czechoslovakia were changing the masterpieces of Czech literature, omitting certain parts and substituting their propaganda.

It is a historical fact that after Hitler closed the 'famous Charles University of Prague, our University of Texas became the only University hi the world offering courses in Czech language and literature.

In 1942-43 I started to teach Russian language and literature and had 14 students. The interest in Russian during the war and shortly after the end of it was growing; we had 321 students of Russian and Czech in our Department.

The influence of the Cold War, the establishment of the Iron Curtain, and, especially the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia caused the decrease of the number of students in Czech and Rus+ sian in our University, but during the last two years the situation improved.

The importance of Russian and Czech is more emphasized, especially after Sputnik, and it keeps me, Dr. Joe Ma-! lik, Jr. and M. I .Smith, Special In, structors of Slavonic Languages, very busy.

The foundations have been laid and it only remains to build, despite many obstacles and lack of understanding.

The number of students of Slavonic languages in America increased because public attention became centered on the Slavonic areas and because studentS found positions in government service, journalism, and busine tss. There will always be openings for well trained scholars. The prospects are far brighter. than they have been.

The teaching of Czech in our University' developed ,and before the Great War II we had more than 90 students.

In 1929-30 the Department of Slavonic Languages was established and I became a chairman. Several of our students received scolarships for the fa-' The studies of Slavonic languages, lit-MOUS Charles University of Prague, founded in 1348.

Winter. has 64 ilthem to see which are mine, Mine stink lustrations. In 1957 a New Illustrated Czech Reader Spring was published. and hers smell like perfume."

There is no easy way to learn Slavonic languages. It takes hard work, but our country needs men and women with the knowledge of Slavonic languages and culture. Much work remains to be done. ) • 4 • respite the talk, this younger generation shows promise of great achievement.

The following commentary is presented in order to elaborate on the items in the report. The items referred to will be designated by Exhibit Number: EXHIBIT I: Contains the increases and 'decreases of ledger assets, which is the cash income and expense of the Order in 1957. This exhibit shows that the income was $417,703.79 in excess of the expense, whereby the ledger asset increased from $8,791,478.37 to $9,209,182.16.

million ($5,749,000.00)

greater by approximately $30,000.00. As a result of all of the increases the Order operated at a loss.

EXHIBIT III: Reflects the invested and accrued assets, termed as admitted assets, and liabilities at the end of 1957.

Despite the fact that the Order operated at a. loss an increase in surplus or unassigned funds is shown. The 1956 surplus amounted to -1,455,844.81 where the 195'7 surplus is:$1,494,849.51.

EXHIBIT IV: Is self explanatory and needs no comments.

EXHIBIT V: Reveals that the funds invested in mortgage loans in 1957 were 3 to 1 in properties other than farms.

EXHIBIT VI: The valuation ratio declined from 120.12% to 118.95% due to the increase in reserve and outlay of funds for Rest Home.

The mortality ratio decreased from 49.84% from 1956 to 44.70% for 1957.

The invested funds yielded a net return of 3.96% as compared with 3.81% for 1956.

EXHIBIT VII: Reflects the progress of the Order by decades and reveals a steady and healthy growth.

EXHIBIT II: Is a summary of operation on accrual basis. This ,exhibit shows that the Order operated at a loss of $5,518.14.

The principal cause of the loss was the $100,000.00 contribution to the SPJST Rest Home and the deficiency in aggregate reserve for certificates set up in previous years. In 1956 the increase in reserve was $322,013.00 and in 1957 the increase in reserve was $487,019.00. This increase of $165,006.00 is much greater than the amount set up in previous years.

Charles is a beginner who cas,n someday become an accomplished ageopdionist.

Last but not least was Freddie Buri, a handsome teen-age tenor, who has won acclaim in his home town, singing Return To Me, in English and beautiful Spanish.

The curtain fell to the enthusiastic applause of the assembly. Roll call revealed that four districts were present at this meeting.

Due to the continued rain all day Sunday, which turned into a flood Monday in Houston's low places and underpasses, a great many Lodges in District V, were watsrbound and could not make the Meeting. Noteworthy, however, was the nice delegation from Needvine, Texas. Congratulations!

As minutes cf the last meeting were published in the Vestnik, their reading again was set aside to conserve time.

The District Treasurer gave his report.

Brother Edward Marek, President of the Supreme Lodge brought "greetings" from brother officers of the Supreme Lodge. He made an effective speech about fraternalism; about our youth and their work; complimented the very enjoyable program of District V's children.

Speaking of our children, Brother Marek said: "It is up to us to encourage them and to do everything we possibly can to help them to do their best. they are going to be our leaders, tomorrow. Fraternalism is working here today!"

Brother Marek then complimented the organizers of District V, who have done such a splendid job last year of selling insurance, commenting: "and they are. doing a mighty good job this year."

He stressed 'determination that "it can be done" and assured the organizers every possible assistance from the Supreme Lodge Headquarters would be theirs.

Brother Frank Olexa, too, commented on the "fellowship" that existed between the Districts since their inception as sanctioned by the Convention and that the Districts are working very effectively.

Brother John F. Chupick, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, also reiterated Brother Olexa's comments on the "fellowship" in the Districts. "It gives us an opportunity to meet directly and to see something new. He mused that one never knows how many more times one shall have the opportunity to be together, as the older membership is steadily leaving our ranks. "I want to wish you all the very best of success; that you organizers will be bringing in the business in baskets," Brother Chupick smilingly concludieU.

Alien came the "plum" of the program_ District V's romper set, gave mamas and pappas and doting kin, a Bathing BeautT.

Then District Organizer, Brother Joe Skrabanek read letters and telegrams of well wishers from other districts that were unable to be present.

Brother Skrabanek made his report on activities in his District, pointing out that his District more than "doubled" their sales in '57' confident that the 1958 quota set, up for District V could be made.

Brother Olexa pointed out that the sisters of the Birthday Club in Houston recently chartered a bus for a visit to the SPJST Rest Hon-e in Taylor, Texas, and introduced Brother Steve Valcik to speak on the Rest Home.

Wednesday, April 23, 1958 ge Director and also Treasurer of the Rest Home, first spoke to the organizers confirming that we can make our quotas this year and that it is important that everyone help their organizers as much as possible. He assured that the selling of insurance was no snap, that organizers really had to sell.

Regarding the Rest Home, Brother Navratil emphasized that "We certainly have a pretty Rest Home, one to which the most discriminating son or daughter can take their parent or parents, a Rest Home with such comfort and a true atmosphere of "home." There are no requirements that the guests have to stay should they later not wish to remain, and the son or daughter may came to visit the kin, to take them back to the home town for a spell etc.

Brother Navratil, briefly gave us some pertineht financial statistics asking for contributions to this "worthy cause" to help wipe out the remaining obligations.

The editor of the Vestnik also reiterated the statement that "we have come together to encourage each other." He were ren-arked "when these organized, there was some some opposition to them, however, District III made a successful start, met with other Districts in our brotherhood, and set a fine example of working together and' getting to know each other more intimately. He complimented the Children's Program, that in spite of the bad weather so many were there. He stressed that these meetings were our mottos (Podpora, Lidskost, bratrstvi) are at work. Brother Hosek, too, reminded the assembly of Sister Ruby Holl's Rest Home Benefit Booth, at the Dedication on the 27th., and that any further gifts for this booth could be sent to Sister Holly directly or taken to the Taylor dedication personally.

District V, voted to donate $100 to the Rest Home out of its District coffers. — Many thanks!

Between Buffalo and Waco, we hit a cloudburst which looked as though we would be marooned there for the night, however our luck held and we did wade out.

I was nice meeting so many friends whom we have not seen for quite a spell, to enjoy the fellowship in your fine meeting.

Reports From Local Lodges KOVAR, TEXAS Dear Editor, Fraternal Brothers and Sisters: First, greetings and best wishes to all of you and a message to all district organizers of District One. This last week I have been honored by a visit from our popular Vice President of the Supreme Lodge Brother Joe B. Hejny. He is as we all know, in charge of the organizational work in our order. He said that he was returning home from somewhere and so he thought he should stop by, I was real glad to see him, but I am suspicious that his visit was more of a business nature, that the real purpose of his visit was to remind me that we in the First District will have to start working a little harder in order to reach our 1958 goal of selling t h r e e hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance. I have promised that the district will sell its quota when the quota was first set. There was nothing else I could do, because if we did not start with confidence, there really would not be any need to start at all. However, we can do even better than that, it will all depend on how much time we will contribute to that good cause. More time we contribute, the more insurance we will sell, that is for sure. Please bear in mind it is very important. I firmly believe in the law of averages, if you will contact a large number of prospects your average in writing new members will naturally be higher than if you contact only a few and it will be time well spent because you will make money and the insured will also be much better off. There are about 30 organizers in our district, if ten out of the 30 would sell two thousand each month of the year and the other 20 only three thousand a year we would reach our goal.

Surely we can do that!

But we better .get to work right away and don't wait until the end of. the year, you know the old saying (the early bird gets the worm) so lets start early and get lots of insurance. Knowing how to explain our different policies to the best advantage is a big help in selling insurance, it allways pays to be well prepared.

In order to be of as much help to you as possible we will again start having our organizers meetings or schools. As to when and where they will be held, you will be notified in time, please attend all of these meetings if you possibly can, it will be to your advantage to do so. In order to stimulate and to

Wednesday, April 23, 1958 make insurance selling more interesting for all of you, I have decided to sponsor cash awards to the total sum of two hundred dollars, to be divided among nine organizers that will sell the most insurance, most money going to highest one, and on down until the two hundred dollars is used up, in this order, highest one — $50; next one $40; next, $30 and $25, $20, $15, $10, and $5 each to the next two.

Of course I will only be able to do this if we reach our goal of three hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance sold in 1958 as I have told you in our last district meeting at Novy Tabor. I certainly wish you would make me pay it. It can be done so let's get out and do it.

In closing I again wish to remind all of you that I am always ready to conie and help you with your sales so you please call on me at any time. With best wishes to a successful year I am as always yours, VACIAV H. BARINA District One Organizer )• •( TAYLOR, TEXAS Dear Readers: Lodge No. 48 at Beyersville had their Easter Egg Hunt and supper last Saturday night. It can be truly said that all the children really enjoyed 'it. This is payment enough for anyone's few hours of work.

The last few Saturday afternoons some mensbers have been coming to the Hall to do some re-modeling and building. This surely paid off Saturday night.

Everyone had compliments to make about the progress already made. Our thanks to everyone who in any way helped to make this Saturday fun night a. success. This proves my theory that a little co-operation and some ambition can make any organization a successful one.

Our next meeting will be on the first Sunday afternoon in May. Visitors and guests are always welcome and members are urged to attend. I'd like to comment on the new Rest Home of the SPJST. It is new complete, it is beautiful and it is operating on schedule. This home is located in Taylor, the town with a golden heart. If you ever have a chance please come visit the home an Taylor too, you will be glad you did.

Thanks for your time, if wanted, I'll come through Vestnik again real soon.

Sincerely, LEON SHILLER Editor's Note: Thanks for this letter, Cooperation as you stated and the good will of our Members can change any Lodge into an outstanding one in our Brotherhood. Write again, soon!

VESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS La Parita Lodge 161 Dear Members and Friends: Our April meeting was well attended.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Readers: Last Wednesday night, April 16, our SPJST Softball Team opened the season with a 12 to 3 win over the Republic Natural Oil and Gas Company Team in the Insurance League. State Farm Ins. Defeated Fireman's Fund Ins. 6 to 0 in the first game. Next Wednesday night, April 23, we play State Farm Ins. in the second game 8:45 p. in., at Samuel's Diamond No. 2.

Considering the fact we were unable to have any workouts the last 2 weeks because of rain and wet diamonds, as a *earn, our players played a good game.

Except for one had inning where 3 e rrors were committed and some loose infield play resulting in 3 unearned runs, our team looked pretty good. Outstanding was Jim Scoggins on the mound, allowing only 4 hits, 3 walks, and striking out 13 batters. The 3 runs scored were all unearned, so Brother Scoggins performance was very encouraging for this early in the season.

Wilburn Munger and Allen Dunn both turned in good games behind the plate.

Leading the hitting parade were: Raymond Smith, Albin Vrana, Frank Mach, III, Bill Robbins, Jim Scoggins, Jack Moffit, Louis Zabojnik and Ted Dusek, Jr. with solid Base Hits. Getting on Base via walks were the following players: James Wortman, Albin Vrana, Jory Rejcek, (2 times), Ben Jarma and Allen Dunn. Credited with sacrifice bunts were Abin Vrana and Wiburn Munger. Fortunately all 16 players got into the game and all enjoyed the game.

We had a most wonderful turnout of members and friends at the game. This was indeed gratifying and we the players really appreciate your moral support at our games. If space would permit, I would like very much to list everyone who came out to the game.

Thanks and hope you will all be back for all our games and those of you who eaUldnk't Ariake the firSt game, then

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS in the Bedell Building.

Brother Maly was first, a devoted husband and father, understanding, lovable and gentle. His second interest was the SPJST Lodge of San Antonio which he and a few Czech friends organized 41 years ago in his home. He was active and devoted to his Lodge almost tothe day of his demise. He was a good committee man and he held the high office of president probably more times than any other member and was held in high esteem by his fellow members. Whenever a controversal question arose, demanding much discussion pro and con, Brother Maly was usually called upon for a few words and with such words presented in his `usual able and diplomatic manner, peace would befall the group and the matter under discussion would be disposed of amicably with any further debate. Brother Maly was a man of few words but would not hesitate to offer his opinion whenever called upon to do so. He was so well read and kept up with all news events; consequently, he could enter into any conversation or discussion with the greatest of intelligence and ease.

His further interest was Sokol organization as he had been a member since the age of 9 in his country of Vitkovice. He also helped organize the San Antonio chapter of the Sokol and was very active until the dissilution about three years .ago. His contribution to this organization was a big factor in the San Antonio unit.

Brother Maly became a member of the Alamo Lodge No. A.F. A.M. (Masonic Order) more than 37 years ago. He was a 32nd degree Mason and member of the Alzafar Temple. He attended their meeting regularly and participated in the functions most zealously.

Brother Maly was a member of the Anton Wentzel Lodge of the Sons of Hermann, and would have observed his 50th anniversary as a member this coming fall. He, too, was very active in his lodge and enjoyed the friendly brotherhood relations between the members.

Yes, Brother Maly was indeed a loyal fraternalist, but the traits which will long be remembered, were his kindness, sincere friendliness, devotion to and love for his family and to his many friends. He shall be missed but his spirit shall never die.

May he rest in eternal peace. Our sympathy to the Family and friends. )• • •( IN MEMORIAM of our brother and member of Lodge 58 Peter Kana that left us 29. March, age 7$ years. He was a faithful member of our Frater-

The committees for this celebration are working eagerly to make this day a satisfactory occasion to all that will be present.

So please be so kind and let us know how many of you will come from your lodge. Please do so before April 22nd.

Those that wish to come Saturday and wish to stay overnight, should contact s. Edwin Kovar, 700 Lake Drive, Taylor, Texas, as soon as possible, or contact directly; The Blazilmar Hotel — Carlow Motel — Trail Motel, or the Taylor Motel. They are all "First Class."

Fraternally yours, A. L Boudny, Secretary 1• •(

Criticism Many have the mistaken idea that they overcome their feeling of inferiority by pulling others down. - Some never seem to learn to 'd'o anything else but criticize others and complain.

Unfair criticism is often prompted by jealousy, suspicion, injustice or intolerance and it becomes habitual with the worst offenders.

If criticism is unfair, or unjust we should let it ride off us like water off a duck's back. ) • i •( A motorist, after being bogged clown in the sticky clay of an old deserted Georgia road, paid a passing farmer $10 to pull him out with a team of mules.

After he was on the road again, he remarked to the farmer, "I should think that at that price you'd be pulling peo -pleoutfhistufdayn ight.

"Nope," drawled the farmer. "At night is when I tote the water for the hole." )• 4•( A middle-aged Texan went to a psy• chiatrist. "Doc," he began, "f shore need your help. I'm in a bad way. I've been a Texan all of my life, and suddenly I just don't give a hoot."
