These hospitals have nursery units and in most cases obstetric wards or floors, so that the obstetrict patients are separated from other patients.

The Children's Bureau of the United States Government for many years has been working cooperatively with doctors and hospitals to establish and maintain standards for the core of the newborn in hospitals, to minimize the risk of infection and to protect the health of t3 the mothers.

Approximately 95 per cent of all births in America in 1956 were in hospitals, with a physician in attendance. Two-and k a-half per cent were attended outside a hospital by a physician, and the remainder were attended by a midwife or by some other non-medical assistant.

Thriough their family doctor and E through public clinics available to them, many mothers get both prenatal and y postnatal care. During 1956, for example, a quarter of a million mothers were served by maternity medical clinic service proVided by the various States with assistance from grants by the U. S. Children's Bureau. We do not have figures available on how many mothers received this kind of care from their own private physicians, but the number is large. g In addition, in 1956, mothers of more than two million pre-school children sought advice on child care from conference services provided by the state with assistance from the Children's Bureau.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK An individual owning a building with a potential income of $120,000 over a Brakes on the Wheels of Life Insurance, period of years would consider it valuable property and certainly would safeProgress An Investment guard it with fire insurance. Yet conIt is not difficult to appreciate the Seriousness of the problem, of liquidation of investments in old age. One needs only look about in his immediate circle and observe he many old men who at one time honestly thought they were amply equipped for the emergency of old age, but who found when they reached old age that they were unable to liquidate their investments for anything like a real value, with income shrunk in relative proportion.

We are not old tomorrow. Therein lies the difficulty. If we were old tomorrow, selecting investments which would liquidate tomorrow or would bring us a certain income tomorrow would be a fairly easy assignment. But we are not old for ten or 15 or 20 years from tomorrow, and to buy investments today which we know will liquidate without loss at the end of 20 years is an almost impossible task. Thci plight of penniless Old people in every community testifies to the impossibility of the task.

The worth of an investment to us in our old age is not what it is worth when as young men we put it into the the safe-deposit box but rather what it is worth when in our old age we take it out. We spend hours debating today's worth of investment, when that question is not nearly so important as the worth of the investment in 20 years form today. ) • I,. •.(

Are You Worth Your Weight in Gold?

The average American male weighs 155 pounds. In gold, this is worth approximately $86,000. For the sake of illustration, assuming that a man earns $3,000. a year, over the span of his earning period he will receive approximately $120,000. This is, of course, contingent on his living and working until retirement age at 65.

sider this: Only one building out of two hundred is ever destroyed by fire; yet two out of three men die during their earning period.

The importance of protecting potential income that may be lost through death is obvious. Life insurance is the only medium that can replace potential income lest to dependents. Further, life insurance is the only guaranteed method of accumulation which can be converted to income in the event of survival, with that income continuing during lifetime.

You are worth your weight in gold to your prospects because you provide against the only sure thing besides taxes — namely a long or a short life. ) • 4. • (

Life Insurance Is Not Bought for any One Idea It is true: Life Insurance is not bought for any one idea — a number of ideas enter into the sale. A person buys life in surance not just because he is going to die, or get old or need a buy and sell agreement. Not for just one reason but for a variety of reasons. Life insurance is no good if it does just one thing.

And because life insurance does more than one thing, we have superiority over savings accounts, the stock market, or any other plan of family savings. )• 4 YOU PAID IT, TOO Did you know that your share of the interest on the national debt last year was $36.33? That goes for every member of your fathily, too, and, in fact for every person in the country. Just to save you the time, $36.33 multiplied by '150,000,000 comes to $5,450,000,000 — and some odd cents — for interest on the national debt alone.

The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball. They fight no fight. They make no mistakes, because they attenvt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers. They make many mistakes because they attempt many things. Ford forgot to put a reverse gear in the first automobile. Edison once spent over two million dollars on an invention which proved of little value. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything new He is a brake on the wheels of progress.

A Suitable Answer If anyone should ask me what our brotherhood really represents, I would give him this answer. The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas is a legal reserve fraternal society, founded on July 1, 1897 and has enjoyed 61 years of steady growth and given faithful service to its members. Our SPJST, as we call it, like any family, measures its growth in human values.

The measure of a company is in the people itself, the life policy owners. The continued faith in their own future and the future of their families depends upon their life insurance to provide financial peace of mind , Participation in our organization is beneficial in that, it will provide for security and assurance of income to your family in case of an accident when it is needed most.

It will provide also educational endownment to provide your children an opportunity for a better education. You also can have a mortgage cancellation feature to leave your family a home and not a mortgage so that you will have a safe and secure future. We are all proud of our organizers whose understanding of their clients dream and objective gives them the inside intelligently planned life insurance to achieve its ultimate goal — family security. What are you doing to protect your faOily, your loved

Sims 15 ONE OF OUR READERS WHO DOES NOT WANT TO BE MENTIONED WRITES Dear Brother Hosek: I like the various items that appear from time to time in the Vestnik under the heading "Czech Names in Texas News." I think that is a wonderful way to bring to the attention of our people, what our Czech folks are doing at the present time, all over Texas. In that connection, I think it would also be well to mention occasionally, the exploits of some of our people in the past. Along that line of thinking, I think it would be well, if you agree with me, to publish an article that I ran across a few days ago, about the exploits of one of our brothers, Pfc. Alvin Blinka of Richmond; which appeared in the Houston Press Tuesday, July 17, 1945, a copy of which article I am enclosing with this letteN Since the enclosed article appeared in the Houston Press. in July of 1945; and since this is Jay, 1958 or 13 years later, if you agree with me, please pub lich the article in the Vestnik.

Fraternally yours, C.F.J. Excerpt from the Houston Press, pub-. lished on Tuesday, July 17, 1945.

SERVICE PARADE RICHMOND SOLDIER DUBBED OKINAWA "FIGHTING FOOL" The title "Fighting Fool" is no nick name picked only at random for Houston area soldier. Pfc. Alvin J. Blinka of Richmond won this title two time over, one time on June 21 when Blinka'4 company swept toward the town of Aragachi on Okinawa. When the advance was momentarily slowed by fire from a Jape position in a, heavily titled torrib on the reverse slope of a': hill, Pfc. Blinka crawled to within a fe feet of the tomb's opening and threw in more than two dozen hand grenades.

Ten Japs were killed.

Two hours later, Pfc Blinka strengh ened his claim to the title in a hand-t6hand encounter with a Jap. The Texan discovered the enemy crawling tow_ard him in the darkness, and opened fire, only to take cover when a grenade was tcssed into his foxhole. It turned out to be a dud and Pfc. Blinka came up . firing, the Nip kept coming. Finally he re-7 sorted to beating the enemy over the head with his rifle, and so ended the encounter. ) &

The Fall Meeting of our VII District will be held on the 26 day of October 1958, at the Mission County Park in San Antonio, Texas.

a Day

at E rus of Dishict Sunday, June 29th, the District III of the S. P. J. S. T. held its first field Youth Day to a very substantial and appreciative crowd. (in this day the youth of our fraternal order gave us an exhibition of their talents both in handiwork as well as entertainment. Each entry was awarded with a Participants ribbon, which was more highly valued by the little folks than any amount of Cash Prize, and will remain with them for many years to come, to look back to the "Good Time" that they had in Ennis on this Sunday, the 29. It was also grafilying to note that every Youth Club in this District that participated carried home some prizes for their efforts. Many beautiful articles in the Handicraft Contest, segregated into age groups, were truly worthy of being placed in the most discriminating home.

The Bathing Beauty Contest of the "wee" ones (ages 1-5) representing Miss Dallas Suburbia; precariously poised on their spike-heel shoes, turning, preening and their blowing kisses at us, was of course, one of the highlights of the pi'ograan. A pair of twin blonde baby girls, two years of age, as 'The Piedmont Twins, were especially endearing. These little Dallas queens, with their mothers playing the role of their hand-maidens, received public admiration, were pho• lographed and feted by the whole gathering.

The 1-17ittsical renditions were all very good. It was gratifying to see so many boys in this District studying the Piano, and they were all really good. What a bunch of future band leaders!

Elvis Presley, in p.antomine, took the cheer and swoon with the older group of our youth, with his all shook up "Hound Dog" rendition.

In the Dance Contest (ages 13-19), the oldest group, gave us a lovely exhibi- tion of ballroom, dancing, beautifully executed. Even the Bop Ivomber was nice. As the "Judges" time,;ers in their fields of music, dance and art) awarded the prizes through Sister Ceska, DisJames Janousek,No. 84 trict III, Youth Director, the excitement, among the groups was electrifying.

Shouts of glee and cheers arose from the different Lodge members as their Youth were called up to received their specific prizes. The competition was keen and friendly.

The talented brother-sister-team, the Pokladnik youngsters, of Brother and Sister Sid and Justine Pokladnik of Dallas Lodge 84, gave us a well executed tap dance. Theres youngsters are getting better and better with each appearance before the audience.

The Square Dance group known as the Gold Nuggets and the Beseda group as well as the exhibition number of the Television famous Silver Bells group, were outstanding. How those young people coed weave and reel while executing that fast dance to its music on the HIFI. It's amazing, and one had to marvel at their stamina!

The combination rhytmic drill and acrobatic number by the two teen-age girls was full of grace and good: timing to the music of a beautiful waltz and enjoyed by all..

The good sisters of the Ennis Lodge 25, took it upon themselves to prepare a luncheon which could be purchased for those who did not bring the "Box Lunch" as was requested, and no one went hungry. Thanks!

The lovely Mistress of Ceremonies, Mrs. Dolfie Hrabina, Youth Director of Lodge 25, opened the afternoon program of the contest for the older age groups, and remarked: "We are deeply indebted to the youngsters who gave us an enjoyable day and performed for us. The Third District is proud to be able to say that we arc again the 'First' to be able to achieve a Youth Day among the Districts."

Sister Hrabina introduced Sister Emma •Ceska, Youth Director of District III, and Sister Bessie Peter, Assistant Youth Director of District III. The two gracious ladies acknowledged the applause and in part said: "To the Junior members of the SPJST from the bottom of cur hearts, we want to thank you again for giving us this wonderful day that has been accomplishes by your efforts. If you know of any other children that would love to be. SPJST members, contact your Lodge organizers."

Thereupon, she introduced Brother Sid Pokladnik, an officer of District III who said in part: "The future of the SPJST is bound to be the BEST that Texas can have. We cannot conclude the day without thanking our officers and organizers.

Thereupon, Brother Pokladnik introduced Brother Hosek, Editor of the Vestnik. ale) acknowledged the recognition and briolly said: "I am only sorry that

the other 50 percent of our membership could not be here to see what honest effort can accomplich.

Brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice President in charge of the Youth. Movement from the headquarters level too spoke a few words — concluding: "I want to congratulate you — each and every one of you for a job well done.Our President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Edward Marek and his gracious wife took the applause, of recognition.

Brother Marek said among other things: "Special thanks I want to extend to the youth Directors of District III, your Lodge Youth Directors and the parents, the youth themselves bore his afternoon. This is a vision coining true! In our youth is the future of the fraternal organization and we beckon the youth assembled here this afternoon to keep up their work. I adk that you accept the Hand of Welcome of the Lodge workers; come into :our midst and work with us. Fraternal work as it has been known and as it is known today, has been extended from generation to generation from time -mcr,orial and it is to the Youth that we will extend this work as we have it in our hands to day. We wish to thank you for the hospitality that has been extended here this afternoon and we hope that in the near future, we shall again meet under conditions as we have them here today."

Brother Marek then spoke a few words Czech for the benefit of our older Czech speaking membership, to conclude with a fervent NAZDAR! Brother Sid Pokladnik then introduced the new officers of District III, asking them to present themselves before the .stage for the audience to see Brother Pokladnik thanks Lodge 25 for the invitation to have our first District Youth field Day in Ennis, and to the hard workers who made this program possible.

Brother Jelin Hrabina was introduced to thank Lodge 25, that had worked so hard to make this day successful. He also announced a Fourth of July dance to the music of Eric i Honza there in Ennis, inviting all.

Brother Sid Pokladnik then announced at the close that the next District Meeting will be in September on the 13th — at this same place in Ennis.

Sister Ceska then called the gathering to order for the awarding of the prizes which the judges had completed.

As said before, everyone on the program received a Participants ribbon.

The small fry were goggled eyed at the ribbon, each hurrying to show Mamma or Daddy what they had received.

Please read the report of our Sister Ceska.

Wednesday, July 9, 1958 We shall all look back at this Sunday, as one of the most wonderful meetings of our brotherhood and its youth on a common ground, where everyone had such a fine time.

Needlessr to say, our sincere thanks goes to those sisters and brothers in our District III, as well as the Ennis lodges, who worked behind the scenes for so many weeks in advance planning, advertising and executing the actual work.

One has had, to have done this type of lodge work to fully appreciate the innumerable hours dedicated to the success of such a project. You did a great job and our appreciation goes to you.

To the parents who worked with their little ones at rehearsals, who chauffered them and then again waited upon them in Ennis, patiently tending their needs, thanks and Bless You All. To all the Participants — you were an orderly and well behaved lot.

The Editor and wife have learned to do the "Hokey — Pokey" only, on us it isn't as cute as with little Miss Skrivanek of Ennis. You're some Baby Doll, little Missey!

• Bessie Petr Youth Leader of Po rok Dallas No. 84, SPJST • oho if WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls, The Editor and I just got home from our semi-annual Press Committee Meeting at Temple and it started raining.

A special Weather Bulletin has again today been broadcast over the Dallas channel and the thunder is rumbling somewhere nearby threatening to pour more rain into the thirsty corn tops to insure a full ear of corn, and a bountiful crop. The gardens too, are laughing even though most of the vegatables are harvested. The moisture will fill out the peaches and plums that are beginning to put on their blush of ripening. The moisture will run down into those wide cracks to give deep roted plants and trees a good drink. All in all its wonderful, it we be spared the high winds and hail that is a possibility.

The ringing of my telephone brought me into the house from my garden last Monday and the urgent voice on the other end said, "Mom, it's a girl!" So I had become a grandmother again.

When the recital of having all ten little fingers and ten little teas, blue eyes and being beautiful, was over, my humble thanks went up for the miracle of this little woman, my granddaughter.

Deda Hosek, too, caught up in the excitment worked like a demon to finish his work, to a point, where he could take a break and run down to Fort Worth hospital to see our newest little Miss.

Yes, she is wonderful; skinny but beautiful and lovely blue eyes which Grandpa Hosek says will change. Her mother is fine and all smiles too, ready to go home to care for this little dolly of a baby. The baby's father, too, survived the "bornitig" and is doing fine.

earthly life, I asked, and humbly prayed for a heritage for her of -love, health, happiness and security.

I prayed she be gentlewomanly, wise, loving, with compassion for the downtrodden. I prayed for her spiritual fortification so that in time of distress her family will find her a bidwark of courage and strength.

I prayed she be proud of her CZech ancestry and of its enViable place on the roster of Texas citizenry. I prayed that she never know the pain of seeing her men off in the service of their country in combat. I wish her a happy home with a fine fami ly of children of her own; of knowing that such a great love for her dwells in the hearts of her adoring family that she can hold her head hi gh and grow up into a lie.,nitiful young woman. There are many things one would lay at her tiny feet in the way of a bequeath and perhaps in her generation :man the world over will be on a more developed level spiritually so that man will be brother to man, and all of these fine things come to pass for her generation. If there is power in prayer— then I pray this for her.

The Editor and I are still reminescing the fine program the District III Youth Day sponsored in Ennis on the 29th.

What lovely children they have! I can still see 4-year-old, little Danny Vrla, with shaking finger at us sing, "Ty, ty ty, ty to musis platiti." Every string in him was taunt when the Adamcik Sisters of Lodge 84, played a Polka Duet. Danny had the floor to himself, uninhibited he danced to the Music. He won th0. heart of everyone watching. The prec' ious little girls had their "dollies" along too, and played, Mamas. They had such a good time — makes one's heart a little sad to think that the "Dolly" phase of their lives ends much too soon.

Before clozing, Happy Birthday to deal Pep7a 5 - ueek of Hallettsville, who on served. his 80th birthday, with a gala party of loving family and kin. Many happy returns of this day for you, deal friend!

I hope the rain came to see you this weekend and that your gardens are revived enough so that your summer flowers will burst in bloom.

Again, if driving during summer vacation months, be careful so that you will return to your family safely and so that we can all see you again at your next fraternal function. With best wishes I am, Fraternally, The Editor's Wife ) 9 4. fr

Worth in January forsaw the possibilities of such a day set apart from other district activities and are truly grateful that its fulfillment took place. They are hopeful that we may meet again soon in such a happy and fruitful event.

LODGE 92, FORT WORTH, TEXAS Dear Readers: Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92 will have it's regular Lodge meeting, 8unday, July 13, starting at 8 p.. m. and will be a joint meeting of the Adult members and the Youth Club. The Ladies are asked to bring extra food just for this meeting since the Youth will be there.

Many thanks.

We are glad to hear that the Youth Day at Ennis the 29th, was a big success and want to remember our Fall District III meeting which is drawing nearer, September 14 and will also be held in Ennis Lodge No. 25 and everyone be making plans to go.

'Congratulations to Brother and Sister Lonnie Burkhalter who have a boy, Lonnie Scott, and they also have one other son. Sister Burkhalter, is the former Miss Gladys Ruzicka, daughter of Brother and Sister Robert Ruzicka. We hope.

Brother and Sister Richard Hubenak be able to be in the meeting as Sister Mary Hubenak was sick, hope it was nothing serious and she is feeling fine again.

JAROSLAV KLEPRLIK organizers throughout the state have been vacationing or having "Siestas" during the last month of June. But Jerry Kleprlik of San Antonio worked and stayed wide awake. The result according to. reports for the Supreme Lodge, he wrote more SPJST insurance then any other organizer. He was "TOP" man for the state.

He pledged volutarily to write only $40,000. new insurance this year and at the rate he is going, I am willing to wager he will make the $100,000.00 club for 1958. This is only his second year as organizer for SPJST. Us old veteran insurance salesmen should take notice and, go to work ourselves or "bow our heads in shame."

Another distinguished point about the class of new members he brings in, is that several of the new members are very active in our lodge work. In fact, one is holding office in our San Antonio, Lodge and others are serving on committees.

"Hats off" and congratulations to Brother Jaroslav Kleprlik.

Renowned Scientist And American Citizen Prof. VaclaY Hlavaty is the man who achieved "the almost impossible" when he gave the world a solution to Albert Einstein's unified theory of relativity.

Last month he became an American citizen. In an interview with the Kalamazoo Gazette, Professor Ellavaty calls himself a ''pure mathematician — a dreamer. I work in equations made up of complex symbols and designed to probe areas which man cannot even visualize." Einstein's famed unified theory of relativity was published by the great scientist as a series of equations without solutions. "He was certain in his mind that his equations were correct, but he hadn't worked them out.

I spent five full years working on them before I came up with the first solutions which proved him correct. He was delighted but not surprised."

Professor Hlavaty, author of the new book "Geometry of Einstein's Unified Field Theory" observes that we are three-demensional human beings who cannot visualize the four-demensional curved space in which we live. "All that remains to man is the faith that there is something more powerful intelligence than his which understands not only his abstract theory but also its true interpretation."

Dr. Illavaty fled Czechoslovakia, when the Communists seized his country. He is now professor of mathematics at the Graduate Institute of Applied Mather matins at Indiana University.

From Jim Wright's Letter

Day Is Night and Night Is Day

Elimination of the 3 per cent excise tax on transportation of freight gained final approval last week in both Houses of Congress. First the Senate, then the House, approved a conference committee report calling for outright repeal of the wartime levy. The conference committee had refused to go along with a, Senate amendment which also would have abolished the 10 per cent excise on passenger fares.

The public at large should enjoy an indirect benefit from this action in reduced selling prices for all sorts of commodities. All as consumers of transported goods have been paying the hidden tariff.

The transports lion industry (freight rails and commercial trucking) will benefit directly. One observer estimated that the 3 per cent tax on freight was often equal to the entire amount of profit normally received by a common carrier.

Disappointment was evident when the committee rejected the move to abolish passenger excises. Originally designed to discourage unnecessary wartime travel, this tax on the transportation of persons has outlived its original purpose.

As a revenue producer, the passenger levy has been disappointing. Opponents of the reductions pointed to the loss of revenue as of compelling reason for keeping the tax but the 10 per cent excise on personal fares has traditionally produced less than the 3 per cent levy on freight.

Other excise taxes presently in force present valid claims for elimination.

Whenever additional tax reductions are possible, these excises should be reduced or repealed. Essentially, they are sales taxes. They add to the cost of living.

"The free world is on the defensive, instead of being on the offensive, Liberty, truth, right to self-government, which were the bulwarks of western civilization, are now no longer invoked against a regime which tramples on them. Day has become night and night has become day. Why should the, free world instead of being obligated to acknowledge a note to Khrushchev being mailing notes out first? Why should not the first note rehearse he injustices to Poland the second to Hungary and so on hrough the countries behind the Iron Curtain? What courage it would give the enslaved peoples to know that we were pleading Or their liberation."

SPJST SOFTBALL Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: My apologies for not mailing in the results from our game played on June so I will combine the results of our 25, but I was just to busy and involved, last two games in this report.

On Wednesday night, June 25, we played "Armed" Taylor, Inc. and lost the game by a score of 8 to 2. We just couldn't get started, they got 4 runs in the first inning and 4 more in the second, after that, our fellows blanked them the rest of the game. Early inning jitters, 3 errors and some loose play allowed 6 unearned runs. In the second game, McCord Music defeated State Farm Insurance 2 to 1 in a game that lasted 21 innings. Some game!

Frank Mach, III, hurled another good game for us, alowing 6 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4 batter. With better support the game could have gone the other way in our favor. Allen Dunn caught another very fine game.

Getting hits for our Team were Allen Dunn., Frank Mach III Raymond Smith and Jody Rejcek. Geting on base on a walk was Jack Moffit and contributing sacrifice plays were Joe Jarolik and Albin Vrana. • We had another large turnout at the game of members and friends, amongst them a large number of our teen agers.

Thanks to all of you for your attendance and loyal support.

After the game, most of the players wives ,children and several our members gathered at the Jerome Rejcek's home and enjoyed some refreshements, consisting of soft drinks and "Pivos".

We all had an enjoyable evening. Plans were made for our softball dance which was coming up that Saturday night, June 28.

Last night, July 2, we played State "I'll take care of that," said the con- Farm Insurance and though we lost, ductor, helfully. Then he shouted, "Next our fellows played an improved brand of ball from the previous game. The stop, Mount Vernon!"

Wednesday, July 9 1958 final score was 6 to 1 and it should have ended something like 2 to 1.

Though we lost, we were not as discouraged as one might think, as there is evidence we can beat the other team in our league before the season ends if we just all try hard enough to do so.

Frank Mach II hurled a very good game, allowing 6 hits, 2 walks and stricking out 4 batters. Allen Dunn had another good night behind the plate.

Getting hits for our team were Allen Dunn, Frank Mach III and one our teenagers, Joe Ondrusek, otir former bat boy. Joe not only got a double, but was advanced to third base by a perfect sacrifice by Frank Mach III, and then raced home on a passed ball and scored on a perfect slide to evade the catchers tag. Two more teenagers have been added to our squad, Kenneth Brown and Richard Sykora and maybe they will get a chance to show their tad= eats in the near future. Also getting on base with walks were Raymond Smith and Allen Dunn.

We had one of the largest attendance of our game this year, and we wish to thank you all for your presence and do keep coming out for the rest of our games. Four more games remain to be played before the season is concluded.

We will be looking for all of you again next Wednesday night, July 9, as we will play McCord Music, the second game starting at 8:30 p. in. at Samuels Diamond No. 2 After the game, most of the players, wives, children and some members all went to the lodge hall and cleaned up the hall. As you all know, we had an annual Softball. Team Dance on Saturday night, June 28 which turned out to be quite a succes, both socially as well as financially for our team. My heartfelt thanks to all the players, wives and members who helped clean the hall and put it back in spit span condition. It is through such cooperative efforts as this enable us to have a softball team and to enjoy the many things that we do by having •a team. Also present. were Brother Ben and Sister Mildred David and, children from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are spending a two weeks vacation here in Dallas and Taylor, Texas. We were all glad to see them and we enjoyed their comming by to visit and helping us out.

The Softball Team wishes to thank our Lodge, Pokrok Dallas No. 84 for letting us have our annual Benefit Dance and all all the proceeds from the dance for our softball funds and we deeply appreciate this consideration. We also wish to thank those teenagers who help us decorate the hall for our dance,

Wednesday, July 9, 1958 and many thanks to the wives who decorated the hall and helped 'prepare for this special occasion. We wish to thank the Otto Janousek Motor Co., Brother Otto and Sister Annie Janousek for donating all the free pretzels for our dance We know they were enjoyed by all present. Our thanks to Brother Willie J. and Sisters and Carlyn Ondrusek for their donation of the "Columbia" Ham for the door prize, also our thanks to Rudolph's Market; Brother Sid Pokladnik for their donation of a smoked ham.

We also want to thank. Jenara Rejcek for having our tickets printed and for buying us the crepe paper used for decorating the hall and also to Sister Lillie Jarma for buying the rest of the decorations. We wish to thank Sister Agnes Kutil for working in the kitchen and to all the wives and ladies that helped out in the kitchen and those of you who brought, cookies, pies and cakes.

Wish to thank all of the players, wives and members who helped out at the door and the bar and especially to those who did more than their share.

May God reward you all for your kind deeds. If we have failed to acknowledge or have overlooked some one, then let us thank you also for I assure you it was not done intentionally. It is only through such united and cooperative efforts, as fraternal brothers and sisters, working together that we can achieve such wonderful results.

Last but nat least, we wish to thank all our members and friends who attended our dance and helped make the occasion a financial success. In behalf of all the players, thanks to you all for everything.

Remember our next game, July 9th, 8:30 p. m. at Samuel's Diamond No. 2 We will be looking for you. Thanks to the editor for publishing our reports.

Danger Signals Ask the first 100 people you meet what their favorite sport is and chances are good that at least 70 will say swimming. Even golf and fishing have taken back seats as sport choices, a recent nationwide poll shows.

An estimated 50,000 new pools will be constructed this year throughout the nation. In Texas at this moment well over 4,000 pools are attracting swimmers.

This is all to the good, because swimming lends itself to social adjustment.

It teaches coordination and builds stamina, and character. A child who overcomes fear of water has learned courage.

VtSTNIX — WEST, TEXAS But there is also an element of risk.

This accelerated interest in swimming creates hazards to life and limb, and danger of disease transmission. That's why the State Health Department conducts courses to teach pool operators the various skills of their jobs.

"Short schools" for pool oprators are concentrated during April, May and June, the intention being to enroll as many operators as possible before hot weather and overflow crowds make it hard for them to get away from their work.

Co-sponsored by the Texas Beach and Pool Association., courses consist of eight hours of intense technical and practical instruction. It covers such things as how to disinfect the water, and' how to control water acidity -- the factor which causese swimmers' eyes to burn, rather trian chlorine as is popularly supposed.

The course also covers pool safety, bathhouse sanitation and the various filtering systems used by modern pools.

How important are swimming pools as links in the chain of disease transmissionsion? Ear, eye, nose and throat, skin and intenstinal infections are among the most common conditions spread in swimming pools. Typhoid fever and diarrhea diseases have been traced to neighborhood pools.

Most prevalent however, is ringworm of the feet, commonly called "athlete's foot." It is not contacted in pool water but by walking on wet walks and floors on which spores flourish.

VRSTNfIC — WEST, TEXAS "BOYS RANCH" NEAR GRAPEVINE CLOSED The Variety Club's Boys Ranch at Bedford, northeast of here, is closing this week after nearly nine years at the site, and sending its young residents back to their homes or to the agencies that referred them to the ranch.

The ranch, founded on a 4200-acre site at Copperas Cove, near Belton, was moved to the present location in August 1949: It has been sponsored by the Variety Club, an organization for members of the amusement industry.

Robert J. O'Donnell, former chief baker (president) of the Variety Club in Dallas, said the ranch had become a financial burden to the club.

He said the club had been unable to obtain charity funds to operate the ranch. It takes more than $2,000 a week, he said.

O'Donnell said the club plans to sell the ranch and invest the proceeds, turning the income to other charities, primarily those for needy children.

"There s better than $800,000 in that ranch," he said.

After moving the ranch tothe site between Fort Worth and Dallas, sponsors constructed two dormitories with a total of 105 bedrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria accommodating 210 persons, and a. football field.

As many as 90 boys have lived at the ranch, but lately the figure has been under 60.

Immigration QUESTION: I came to the United States on a student visa, because at the time I wanted to come here, my quota was oversubscribed and the consul told me that there would be a long wait.

Since coming here, I have married an American citizen. I understand, that makes me eligible for adjustment of status without leaving the country. But someone told me that if I try to adjust my status, the Immigration Service would find out that I was not a bono fide nonimmigrant when I entered, becatise I previously attempted to come as an immigrant. What shall I do?

ANSWER: You should try to adjust your status. The fact that you previously expressed a desire to enter the United States as an immigrant does not in itself preclude the issuance of a nonimmigrant visa, nor preclude your being a bona fide nonimmigrant. However, before you take any steps to adjust you should consult an expert. If you fail in your application for any reason, you may have to leave the country. In most situations however the s pouse of an American citizen may apply for preexamination procedure.

Control of Heart Disease Seen Hcpeful One of the most amazing turnabouts of modern times — one that effects thousands of hOmes where heart disease has struck — is the change in attitude toward heart disease.

Ten years ago the prevailing attitude toward heart disease was one of near hopless . Today the outlook . is one of confidence. Treatment of heart sufferers is now much more effective than it was a decade ago, What is more, the prospect of gaining control of the major forms of heart disease is most hopeful.

Dramatic indication of progress has been happening with the two most revalent forms of heart disease: hardening of the arteries, and high blood pressure, which may be linked,' with one another, and which effects a great majority of Americans.

Greatly improved treatment is available for parents with these diseases. New and powerful drugs, as well as diets carefully planned to check weight and salt intake, make it possible to control high blood pressure which in many cases used to be beyond the doctor's reach. "Anticoagulant" drugs are now widely used to help keep down recurrences of coronary occlusion — a type of heart attack due to the formation of blood clots in the small arteries of the heart.

In purely statistical terms, these and other advances in heart medicine have had the effect of adding years to the lives of individual Americans. Many a victim of heart disease is now able to return to work and earn a living, often with few restrictions on his time or energies.

VESTNITC - WEST. TEXAS ies to come out of current heart research is the fact that women before menopause are vastly less susceptible to coronary occlusion than men, perhaps one-twentieth as susceptible. This has led researchers down another path of investigation, to explore the role of sex hormones in hardening of the arteries.

The expectation of life has more than doubled since this century began. The largest factor so far in this change has been the suppression of infectious diseases. Such medical progress in the recent past, together, with the intensive, productive research now going on, justifies the strong hope of gaining control over heart disease.
