Den Prkce ve SpojeStatech Bylo to v newyorske metropoli pied 76 lety, kdy delnici po prize pochodovali v pruvodu Dne prate. Dennik New York World tehdly psal, Z'e 20,000 delnika uspo •adalo schazi na Union Square, po se za zpevu ubiralo po Broadway, nesou ce plakaty s razn*mi napisy: "Osm hodin na praci: osm hodin na odpceinek; osm hodin na zabavu!" "Delnictvo tvar cem vgeho bohatstvi!" "Vgichni Tide jsou si rovni!" "Prav*m lekem je organisace a hlasovani!"

Pametnim dnem byl 5. zaki 1882, hlav nim po'Zadavtem delnika bylo pracovni doby na osm hodin denne. Redaktor New York Times byl touto natanosti.,zneklidnen, varoval, ze osmihodinova pracovni doba povede k prUmy slovemu krachu, a k plynouci z ni zaMika zavini zvSrgeni zlainnosti.

Vezmeme-li v avahu stoupnuti dnes prnmern* delnik stale je gte koupiti -al a pnikrate tolik, mohl koupiti jeho ptedchadce pied t •emi etvrtinami stoleti.

Vetgina snad ne v gechny. cile "snilka" z roku 1882 jsou jiz dayno skuteCnosti. Minimalni mzda byla zy*Sena na ciolar za hodinu. System federal ni bezpeCnosti, zfizenST ve tticat*ch leteeh, se neustale zdokonaluje a rozutista.

Odstupriovana, dan z ptijmu ma za nasledek rovnornernei gi rozdeleni zna ene vyggiho narodniho prijmu.

Od prvniho slaveni Dne prace progla Amerika skuteenou hospodarskou, politic kou a socialni revoluci, ktera z ni ueinila zem, v niz hospodaisky a politick* vyznam organisovaneho delnictva je stale dillaitel gi. Tento vliv neodra gi se toliko ye vecech narodnich, ale i v zahranienich.

Den prace nevi pouze svatkem delnikfi, n*b0, svatkem vsech Amerieana. — Timto driem jakoby koneilo leto a nastaval poclzim. Pro miliony studentu je to posledni ptilditost uziti slunce a svo body, ndli nastane skola.

Wednesday, September 3, 1953 Reports from our Lodges, or , any other Reading Matter to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue. Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

—HE RALDFOUNDED 1807 Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P. 0. BOX 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

THE EDITOR'S DESK character of the vulnerable youth, the knowledge that the Youth Director is Your Dual Obligation To Our Youth Leaders building himself a Monument of ReOld men exhibit a strange skepticism rnemberance in the hearts and minds -Why A Youth towerd compound interest. After years of these boys and girls through the rest of experience in the field of saving and of their lives, the plaudits, commendainvestment they confess they have never Program? tions offered by the Mother Lodge should met up with compound interest, but FROM

young men who are, of course, still novices in monetary matters are sure of compound interest.

This sharp division of opinion has arisen because the average plan of saving and investing takes the simple interest which is earned yearly and pays it yearly to the young man who does not need it but who takes it because it is made available. Your savings of cash deposited at your bank are so easily available each year that the tempta tion to take it out is almost irrestible.

With life insurance, the interest not only is compounded but is saved and held for the old man who needs it instead of being given to the young man 'Who does not need it.

Life insurance is the only plan the average man seems to be able to find which gives him the benefit of compound interest. Without the benefit of compounded interest, the job of preparing for old age is increasingly difficult.

Again the logic of life insurance.

Strictly speaking, a man does not buy life insurance. What he really does is to use the life insurance plan to accomplish certain objectives for himself and for his family. When a man makes a premium deposit of $100, he is not spending $100 for life insurance; he is using life insurance to make his $100 do more for him and for his family in the way of future income than can be accomplished under any other guaranteed plan.

This distinction is not a mere academic distinction. It is fundamental and sound.

So if you realize your dual obligation, an obligation to care for the old man you will someday be, an obligation to care for the wife and family who looks to you for all things needful, call our organizer or contact our SPJST Supreme Lodge, Box 400, Temple, Texas.

Besides the important insurance selling phase of our fraternal order to its youth, our youth program is instrumental in molding our children into worthwhile citizens of tomorrow, God fearing, unselfish, to the honor of our Czech origin and America.

When one sees these beautiful young people conduct their division of the lodge work with such confidence, poise, courtesy and good level-headed management, the weight of the work, worry and the expenditure of our respective lodges and of the Supreme Order in assisting our Youth in their activites seems well spent.

Creating a youth program that would be of interest to boys and girls in the different age group (from birth to 18 years of age), flexible enough for all the different kinds of lodge and community conditions, that of the city child of the rural child, is not an easy task as our Brother Joe B. Hejny has pointed out several times, but when one has the privilege of seeing the ultimate result of all the effort expended to provide a fuller, more enjoyable, a more appreciative childhood for boys and girls who are members of our SPJST and who will in the future become members, the program planning is an inspiration and a happy chore.

For the children who as yet are not members of our Order, the Youth Program opens up an opportunity for the child to experience at first hand the value of belonging to our fraternal family as well as the social contact enjoyed among young people of fine caliber. In addition all boys and girls enjoy sharing lodge and community activities' sponsored by the Youth Clubs' and supported by the Mother Lodges and the Supreme Lodge.

spur the Director to outstanding success.

Youth Directors prove themselves civic servants as they develop the greatest asset of any lodge and community, its youth!

For the Organizers, and the District Organizers who work through the Youth Programs, there is the knowledge that they are building prestige for themselves and for the Order, that they have working centers of influence, for service to children makes personal friends of their entire family, and when youth becomes impressed with membership in our fraternal order through its Youth Clubs, will consider our Order favorably when they reach adulthood and find need for additional insurance protection for their own families.

The development of Youth Clubs in our lodges are the training centers for citizenship, by developing the foundations of social, civic, educational and fraternal phases of human behavior and thinking.

Social events cover a wide range of activities enjoyed by youth from parties, talent shows, skating, swimming, dancing, hikes, horseback riding, hayrides, picnics, just to name a few, while Civic events cover those activities for the benefit of the country, city, town and community where the youth live, such as participation in ,exhibitions, fairs parades, etc.

The Educational phase of the Youth Program gives our youth an appreciation of the plans of thrift encouraged through the ownership of life insurance, foresight into, the potentialities of insurance in future life, 'pensions, retirements, educational funds, endowments and an emergency measure for loans or bank collaterals, which ever interest rate happens to be smaller. It teaches For our Youth Directors, the challenge compatability, develops leadership of successful leadership, of shaping the sportsmanship and brings vocational and

Wednesday, September 3, 1958 talent aptitudes to the fore.

Fraternal effort is stressed in service to others, particularbi those less fortunate in our order. This does not require any large contributions of money but rather the realization of helpfulness toward others which is one of the greatest rewards of life. Fraternal effort teaches our youth to honor the older rnen-bership, respect his Czech language and origin; and courteous friendliness.

Fraternal effort stresses support of the mother lodge projects if our youth expects the Mother Lodge to support its program and activities, to support the lodge baseball teams, dance teams and other talents.

Reciprocity, both financially and morally! In representing your Order in civic activities such as town parades with floats, banners or just uniformed marching groups, show the SPJST emblem and your lodge member, so that the public will become acquainted with the order's existance in your town. At conventions, District meetings, District Youth Day celebrations, participate in the handicraft, art, needlework, painting, woodcraft contests available to you. Placing of SPJST booths at your county fairs with Czech pastries, etc., cake bakes, chili suppers for money making projects when your fraternal order will be before the public eye is good fraternalism.

Your Youth Program may take a lot of effort, same money but the returns are well worth the endeavor.

•( )

When You Buy Life Insurance You set up a systematic savings pro gram— Mostrrsen find it difficult to save maney and keep it saved. There always seems to be a "good reason" for taking money out of a savings account.

Money saved the life insurance way stays saved, because you feel a certain coinpulsion toward paying a premium notice. ° You save when you borrow money— Life insurance is the world's best collateral. If you want to borrow $6,000 and have that much in cash values, there is no question about your getting the money. You'll get the loan at about 4!/2 (( interest too, rather than the usual 6%.

Your income is guarnateed for life— We never should forget that when we are old, we 'don't need money in the bank. What we need is a guaranteed income which neither we nor our wives can outlive. Life insurance is the only way to make sure we will have that income when we get ready to retire. Any other method is just based on hopes.

Have You Thought 0 This?

Many weekly editors of different papers, no matter how corageous they may be, will never have an opportunity, in the majority of small towns, to express their honest opinions about different matters as this would be indicative that they are taking sides in debates, controversies, or any other 'different problems of fraternal or local affairs.

Like the boys who go into the Armed Forces, uncertained as to how they would act in actual battle, the average weekly newspaper editor may never know how courageous he may be under heavy fire, unless he has a fixed opinion after years of trials and tribulations.

We would like to state here that the small town editor always lived in an atmosphere which should build fearlessness in human relation.

This, of course, takes a strong character and an independent position to devote himself to show courage "Above the Call of Duty."

It is the willingness to speak out editorially, week in and week out,among his acquaintances which should be recognized even though you will always find some that will dispute his opinion.

An editor that has the courage to speak out his honest opinion, we cannot help but say that he should win the admiration of his readers. ) • i, ♦ (

Ennis Meeting Of District III, SPJST

Leadership Of The U. S. Foreign Language Press Praised Commenting on the importance of the American foreignlanguage press in politics, Jack Redding in his new book "Inside the Democratic Party" says: "Most foreign language papers practice a personal journalism which the mass news papers of the regular press have lost — To survive, these papers must exert lea.derShip among their readers and because Of this are a most effective publicity medium." An entire chapter of the Redding book is deveted; to the important part played by nationality groups in the 1948 caMpaign. This was largely due, he says to the leadership of the editors, whose readers are, because of close contacts abroad more apt to be intelligently concerned over foreign policy than other Americans. Today, according to 1957 statistics compiled by the Common Council for American Unity, the foreign language press in the U.S. includes 833 publications in 39 languages other than English: 77 dailies, 279 semiweeklies and weeklies, 357 semi monthlies and monthlies and 120 publications of lesser frequency. The total demestic circulaticin is over 5,027,000, plus an additional 1,117,000 circulation n Latin America of PortugeSe and Spanish trade journals published in the United States.

Dear Members

Wedneilay, September 3, 1953

Officers of the III District met in Ennis Monday August 18 to plan the order of the meeting of the District which is to be held in Ennis on September 14th.

After formulating the procedure a discussion followed concerning business of interest to the district. The officers expressed the hope that the membership would consider plans for another Youth Day in the District in the forthcoming year's work. They forsee a need of greater cooperation between the district and the organizers, hence a need to plan.

They wish to suggest that a plan be formulated whereby young people in the district can actually help in the growth of the membership. They think a plan such as the one used in Lodge No. 84, Dallas, in which the Youth compete for a crown for the young lady who obtains the largest number of new members , thereby working with the organizers could be effective on a District basis.

This then is possible business of the day. The officers hope that these suggestions start a trend of thought and that you attend and bring with you many new ideas for district use.

The officers extend a cordial welcome to Supreme Lodge Officials, the editor, officials and visitors of other Districts.

They urge the district to make this the best and most fruitful meeting yet held.

The crowd that gathered by noon was a big one. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Dinner was served and we were settling down to see our youth perform. Our three youth directors, sisters Sefcik, Kelly and Kadlecek had

T such nice preparations made to have this program. The youngsters already in their costumes, waiting to be called on to act on the improvised stage, nicely decorated for that purpose. Brother Rudy Sefcik made the announcement to begin the program, when the overcast skies started flashing bolt s' of lightning and big drops of rain started faling and before long a heavy rain poured down all around us.

Everyone scattered in all direction and before long the cars, one by one started to leave, being afraid of the dirt road leading to the highway. Quite a few stayed and waited till it quit raining.

We were sorry that everyone left, because it Wasn't to bad. The children had a grand time riding the pony afterwards.

Thanks to everyone for coming, and let's hope it won't rain again next time.

Also thanks for all the delicious pastry donated by the good sisters and friends.

Cotton picking is coming to an end and again corn breaking is about to start. Some folks in our community are making a bale to the acre, but we are on the end and will make only half of last year's crop.

I pity those mothers who have a couple of children going to school this fall and to feed ,at the table. We older mothers had to go through hard days too.

Then'cotton was only eight or nine cents a Pound and of this: we had to pay four cents a pound for cottontags. Then the farmers got his one-forth share, so you can see how much the renter had left.

I'm glad those days are not coming back.

INDIVIDUAL HAS RESPONSIBILITIES IN KEEPING BENEFICIARY RECORD UP-TO-DATE An increasing number of cases have come to light in which GI life insurance proceeds must be paid to other than the veteran's immediate family because the veteran failed to keep his beneficiary list up to date.

This was reported recently by Veterans Administration for the benefit of any of the 6,100,000 GI insurance policyholders who should change their beneficiaries in line with recent changes in family status.

Marriage, divorces, births or death are the types of changes in family status which may indicate needed changes in beneficiary listings, VA said.

Favorite West Texas Dean W. L. Stangel Retires West Texas' favorite dean is retiring this month.

But the productive career of Dr. W. L. Stange' is far from ended.

It's more fittingly, a milestone for Texas Tech's diminutive, 68-year-old cigar Lpuffing dean.

Stangel, who came to Tech as head of animal husbandry in 1925 when the institution opened, retired Aug. 31 as dean of agriculture. On that date he became dean emeritus of the Lubbock school. " The contributions of Dean Stangel to Texas Tech and West Texas in those 33 years might best be mirrored in the growth and development of agriculture in the West Texas region.

Many of Stangel's programs, especially in livestock feeding, served as foundation for the rapid rise to prominence of the area — now one of the nation's richest ranching and farming sections.

Stangal, years ago, pioneered in lamb feeding with the idea of demonstrating the "practical side" of raising Texas lambs on Texas grown feeds. Also of Much economic value to the state's cowmen have been his numerous cattle feeding experiments with varying levels of cottonseed in feeds grown on the South Plains.

Stangel, a mere 5 feet, 8 inches in height, has probably judged more stock shows than any other man in Texas. His trail of cattle judging has led him to almost every livestock-producing county in the state, and to most major livestock expositions in the nation.

His show ring placirigs seldom are subject to challenge.

"Stangel has an uncanny ability for doing the right thing at the right time in his constant human relations work for Tech," Dr. E. N. Jones, president of the college said recently, paying tribute to the retiring dean.

Stangel, whose initials stand for Wenzel Louis, was born Aug. 16, 1889, in Stangelville, Wisconsin, a town named for his family. His father came from Czechoslovakia.

He came to Texas with his parents before the turn of the century. In 1910, at 21, Sta,ngel was president of his senior class and was coach and captain of Fort Worth North Side High School's first football team.

He enrolled in Texas A and M. College in 1911, receiving a BS degree in animal

husbandry in 1915. A year later he earned his _Ms degree at the University of Missouri.

After completion of his graduate work Stangel then 27, was appointed instructor in Texas A. and M.'s department of animal husbandry. He was named full professor in 1920.

Stangel, in 1925 left A. and M. to join the staff of the newly established'-Lubbock school.

Under Dean Stangel's direction, the Tech farm's livestock program grew from two gray mules to a well balanced herds of Hereford, Angus and Brahman cattle and swine and sheep.

The dean still remembers the pair of mules. He has a couple on the farm today that he points out to students as "the last of the Mohicans."

"They're used for hauling grain and we know they'll always start regardless of weather," said Stangel.

He was appointed dean of agriculture in 1045.

Stangel has served in some official capacity with the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show since 1921. He now heads the steer division of the Fort Worth Show.

In 1937 when he took over the Angus department of the show there was a move on foot to abandon the showing of the "blacks" at Fort Worth. The reason was the lack of interest in the breed.

He since has seen the cash premiums of the Angus division incdease from $1,050 in 1937 to $11,035 this year.

Stangel's .first attendance at the Fort Worth show was in 1914 as a member of the livestock judging team from Texas A. and M. He tied with another student for high individual scorer on the team, which placed first in the contest.

He has attended every stock show in Fort Worth since 1914 except the 1916 show. That year he was doing graduate work at the University of Missouri.

Stangel served as horse •show manager in his first official connection with the Fort Worth show. For several years he was swine division superintendent.

The colorful dean was invited to set up and direct the first post-war livestock show of the State Fair of Texas in 1946.

He has directed that division ever since.

The value of attractive and educational displays of livestock at stock shows has been a topic close to the dean's heart in recent years. He frequently uses,the subject for his many speaking engagements.

kept livestock on' exhibit continuously for six months."

Dean Stangel is a past president of the National Block and Bridle Club, Holstein Friesian Assn. of Texas, Texas Agricultural Workers' Association, and the Texas Panhandle-Plains Dairy Association.

Texas A. and M. College in 1956 conferred an honorary doctorate degree upon Stangel in recognition of his long .service to Texas agriculture.

"A livestock show shoUld be orderly enough to create an appeal to those who know little about the animals," Stangel maintains. "The Texas Centennial was a big beginning in this direction. We

The world is full of lonely people, old middle-aged, very young. All of them we should invite to some of our parties, they need to be noticed and made to feel our interest

In 1951 he was chosen "man of the year" by a leading farm magazine and four years later was named, "top West Texan" by the .West Texas Chamber of Commerce. The Tech football team dedicated its games to him in 1942.

Stangel for years has served as general superintendent of the fast growing Lubbock-South Plains Fair.

But the greatest, and most important mark of Stangel in his three decades as teacher, adviser and judge is his lasting molding influence on his students.

Few educators are as admired and respected as Stangel.

For thousands of Tech agriculture graduates he'll always be "their dean" regardless of where he goes or what he does.

Citizenship QUESTION: I was born in the United States in 1915. At the age of nine I was taken to Greece and returned to the United States when I was 40 years old.

Am I still a citizen of the United States?

ANSWER: Generally speaking, persons born in the United States do not lose their citizenship, so that theoretically it would .be possible for you to be a citizen today. However, you ,liyed abroad for many years and could possibly have lost your citizenship for ten reasons enumerated in the Immigration and Naturalization Act, among them obtaining naturalization in foreign state• through your own naturalization or through naturalization of a parent, or by voting in foreign political elections, and for many other reasons. I suggest you consult the book "How to Become a Citizen of the United States," published by the Common Council for American Unity, 20 West 40th St., New York, and you may answer the question whether you are a citizen of the United States, yourself. ) • et. • (

Fraternal Life Insurance While nine-tenths of the life insurance owned by American families is with the legal reserve life insurance companies, there are several other types of life insurance companies. These other types added up to nearly $60 billion in force at the close of 1957. This amount, conbined with the $458 billion outstanding with legal reserve companies, gave American families over $500 billion of life insurance protection in 1957.

Veterans life insurance, issued by the Government, accounted for about 75% of this other protection at the close of 1957. Total veterans life insurance in force at years-end 1857 wos $43.9 billion.

About 81% of this amount, or $35.6 billion, was Participating National Service Life Insurance issued to the Armed Forces during the following World War IL Another $6.7 billion of Non-Participating National Service Life Insurance was in force at the close of 1957 on persons entering the Armed Forces since 1951, under provisions of the Servicemen's Indemnity Act. An additional $1.6 billion of U. S. Government Life Insurance on World War I veterans was in force at the close, of the year. Total benefit payments from veterans life insurance amounted to $66 million in 1857, With more than 53% of this total representing death benefits.

Fraternal life insurance provided by lodges, societies and fellowship organ i7,ations in the United States and Canada, accounted for a record total of $11.8 billion of ownership in 1957. This was 10% more than the year before and '43 per cent above the total ten years ago.

Assets of the fraternal societies reached a new high of $2.8 billion in 1957: Benefit payments totaled $171 million, a year's gain of $4 million. ) 4 •

tional purposes. The U. S. Office of Education is a federal agency, primarily concerned with research and the promotion of education and it has no control over the public school systems.

Private schools must meet certain standards set by the State Boards of Education but otherwise are free to operate as they choose. They receive no funds from the state and are supported entirely by tuition fees, endowment funds and by their sponsoring agency.

According to the U. S. Office of Education's most recent figures, there are 123,763 public elementary schools with an estimated enrollment of 26,177,000; and 25,637 public secondary schools with an estimated enrollment of 7,447,000.

The same source reports that there are 15,000 private elementary and secondary schools, of which nearly 80 percent are Roman Catholic parochial schools. Attendance at these private schools is five and one-half million, roughly 16 per cent of the total number of children attending elementary and secondary schools in America.

There are 1890 institutions of higher learning in the United States, with a total enrollment of more than three million. Of the colleges and universities, 654 are public — that is, supported by the state or city— account for 1,780,000,students. Privately supported and endowed colleges and universities number 1,236 and have an enrollment of 1,283,000 students.

The public elementary and secondary schools are coeducational — that is, they teach boys and girls together — and are free and open to all children. State and city—universities and colleges are also open to all qualified students and payment consists of a nominal registration fee. Education is compulsory in most states from the age of six to 16.

Modern education is expensive. The tremendous increase in the number of children attending, schools, the need for more school buildings and equipment, as well as the need for more teachers and higher salaries, have placed a severe burden on the financial resources of the individual states. There is, therefore, a growing movement for more financial aid for the schools from the Federal government. ) ( Let no man be sorry he has done good because others have done evil, if a man has acted right he has done well, though alone; if wrong, the sanction of all mankind will not justify him.

Move Away At 65?

Just how much is your home town worth to you in retirement?

This is one of the serious decisions you must make at 65. And however you make it, the day will come when you wonder whether you made it right.

Here, from three intelligent people in their mature years, are some strong arguments against picking up and moving to a paradise at 65.

Read them and make up your mind in the light of your own situation.

An educated woman in Cincinnati, Ohio: "I can't think of anything 'much more lonely for us than moving to a strange town. Aren't the people who try it hopelessly, desperately homesick/ "It seems to me that people who pick up and go at 65 must have been living in a vacuum. Otherwise, how do they expect to replace in a new town everything they built up in a lifetime at home?

"What about interests, hobbies, organizations, friends, children and grandchildren? What about familiar loved objects in home and yard — the tree your child brought home from school on Arbor Day? "Aren't there ways of cutting down expenses at home to preserve these dearly bought and priceless intangibles?"

A man in Fresno, California: "Don't move. Stay in the community where you have friends, where you have lived and worked. You have strings that reach out. You have, or should have, roots that reach down.

"Don't ship yourself off to a paradise where you are apt to be a toad on a log with many other old toads, with nothing to do but nothing.

"Your community is crying out for your services, and in serving others you will not only escape boredom, you will find true happiness. One rule has no exception: To be happy you must have things to do."

A retired couple living in a small Missouri town: "We own our own home and have lived in it for 46 years. We advise anyone looking to retirement to get their own place and grow old with it.

"We love every inch of our home, and why shouldn't we? We have planted most everything here and watched it grow. Now we are watching three elms trees grow straight and strong — each was planted the year a grandchild was born.

"We have fruit trees and berry vines that we watch blossom and bear fruit.

Etrana 26 We have a vegetable garden that we walk through each spring morning to see how much things have grown through the night — these provide us with good eating and fill our freezer for the coming winter.

"These things plus the radio and TV, the newspaper, and a few shares that send us; to the newspaper every day to see if we're richer or poorer, — have kept us vibrant, have made our Golden Years, the happiest years of our lives."

Wednesday, September 3, 1958 by school buses. Most people are careful when approaching a school bus which may be standing beside the road or school to pick up school children or allow them to alight. However, we have already had some very bad accidents this year because a child or a motorist or both, were careless at that very time.., Most Texans are aware of the law which requires a driver to come td a complete stop when overtaking from the rear a school bus which has stopped to receive or discharge school children. After stopping immediately behind the bUS, he is then allowed by law to proceed past same at a speed "which is prudent, not exceeding ten (10) miles per hour, and with due caution for the safety of such childeren."

What many persons do not realize is that the very same rule applies when MEETING a stopped school bus. While everyone is interested in protecting our children, unthinking violators of this simple safety rule greatly outnumbers those who comply. Failure to follow the law in this case can lead to fines up to $200.00 even when no accident occurs.

Following an accident in which some child is injured or killed, the penalties are naturally much more serious.

Although the above rule does not always apply when passing a stopped school bus in a business or residential district of a town, the necessity for " extreme caution even in those loeations is obvious.

When it comes tO overtaking-and passing moving vehicles, exercise of -ordinary common sense will generally keep . a driver within the law. For instance, when passing a car it is-only common sense- to proceed on past it a safe distance before cutting back to the "right side of the highway. .Also, any driver would realize the danger of increasing his speed while another is 'attempting to 'pass -him. In the same category • is the prohibition against passing on the right under most ordinary conditions. Of course, you may leagally pass on the right in a few specific instances, such as when the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn, or upon a one-way street with two -or more lanes; or .upon a four-lane highway.

However, our traffic laws state that even when passing on the right is allowed, it shall be done only under conditions permitting such movement . in safety. And, in no event should such passing be accomplished by driving off the pavement or main-traveled portion of the roadway.

Familiar to all are the no -passing zones designated by dash lines placed to one side of the center stripe on our

Wednesday, September 3, 1958 highways. Not so well known are the restrictions against crossing the center line when approaching within 100 feet of or when traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing.

A driver should never cross the center line of a highway when the left side of the road is not clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic. Generally speaking, when not engaged in passing another vehicle, one should not drive to the left of the roadway.

Our People Who Wage Peace Unlike many other countries, the United States does not require that aspiring Foreign Service officers present certificates of any kind; although the overwhelming majority are college graduates, yet there is no kind of diploma which will qualify one automatically.

Foreign Service officers are selected through competitive examination, open to any American citizen 20 to 31 years of age. First comes the written examination, which takes one •day and consists of four parts — English expression, general ability, general background, and modern language. The oral examination, for those who pass the written, usually runs an hour and a half and is conducted by a three-man panel. Having success fully completed his written and oral tests, the candidate is given a physical examination. Foreign Service officers being subject to assignment anywhere, certain disorders which do not seriously interfere with work at home may disqualify one for foreign service. Qualined candidates are also given the regular background investigation required of all prospective Department of State employees. This investigation seeks to assure that a person's character, reliability, and loyalty are such that he can be trusted with the responsibilities of a U.S. Government employee.

You will get some idea of the selective nature of the Foreign Service examination process from the following summary: Of 2,616 young men and women who took the written tests last June, 556 passed. So far 289 of this successfull 21 per cent have gone on to take the oral; 55 were accepted; 16 were deferred

V2S T NIX — WEST, TEXAS —probably to make up foreign language deficiencies; and 208 failed.

There is not only competition, as you have seen, to enter the Foreign Service.

There is also competition to stay in — and to advance. Nominated by the President of tho United States and confirmed by the United States Senate, Foreign Service officers enter in class 8 They can rise to class 1, then to career minister and career ambassador.

Each year every officer is rated by selection boards in comparison with all the others in his class. A number with the highest ratings are promoted. Unless an officer is promoted after acertain number of years, he faces separation. As in the military services, it's either "up or out".

Almost two-thirds of our ambassadors and, ministers today came up from the ranks — some without the benefit of a university education. Of the Department's three Deputy Under Secretaries, two are Foreign Service officers, Some times Foreign Service officers are assigned as Assistant Secretaries of State.

A foreign Service officer, when appointed by the President, receives three titles: one as a Foreign Service officer, one as a idploratic officer, and one as a consular officer. The first determines his class in the Foreign Service, not his his assignment. His salary is based on his class in the Foreign Service, not his post or his job. For example, in Washington he may be assigned as Bolivian desk officer in the Bureau of InterAmerican Affairs; later he may be sent to Tijuana as counsul and then to Caracas as Second Secretary of Embassy. Barring a promotion from, say class 5 to 4, meanwhile, his salary in all three classes would be the same.

In addition large segments of the population have savings accounts, U.S. Savings Bonds, etc. A majority of American families have more than one form of savings.

While voluntarily protecting themselves and their dependents against economic hazards and saving for the future, the people have built up one of the great driving forces in the economy in their thrift institutions. It is the people's savings in these institutions that have become a major source of capital and investment funds in recent years for business and industry, home owners, and government, contributing greatly both to the growth of the econmy and to the rise in living standards. Last year, for example, funds made available to the capital market from the various savings institutions represented 50 per cent of the year's total demand for credit and investment funds, according to estimates made by the Life Insurance Association of America.

Wednesday, September 3, 1958 I Furthermore, the rewards of thrift as measured by the income yielded by pri' r ate and public protection programs ;ox‘bined have become one of the great stabilizers in the economy. In 1957 these programs, led by life insurance benefits, contributed more than $25 billions to the nation's income stream.

Here is how the leading forms of personal thrift stack up: The number of policyholders in legal reserve life insurance companies rose to a reer • 109 million at the end of 1957, or 63 per cent of the entire population, making life insurance the nation's No. 1 thrift medium. The comparable number in 1950 was 88 policyholders, or 57 per cent of the population. Savings accumulated by policyholders came to $82.2 billions at the 1957 year end, up nearly $29 billions since the end of 1950. These figures are distinct from life insurance protection in force, which amounted to $458.4 billions at the beginning of this year. In addition to the policyholders of legal reserve companies there are also 12 million persons who are covered only by some other form of life •insurance. ) • 411, •

HOME VEGETABLE GARDENS POPULAR IN TEXAS A good home garden can mean a sizeable saving in the family food budget and can provide a source of high quality, "garden fresh" vegetables for which there is just no substitute.

The county extension workers of Texas report 499, 910 home gardens in the state in 1957, of which 268,000 were grown in towns or cities according. to Bluefford Handcock, extension horticulturist.

Growing a garden is a way to relax a hobby that can have pleasant and satisfying results to some people, while to others it is an important part of the family food budget, points out Hancock.

But regardless of the purpose of growing a garden, there are certain rules that should be followed to get the most out of it, he says.

First, plan the garden in advance.

Develope a complete plan of procedure to follow.

Keep the garden small enough to give it good care, and it will produce a surprising amount of vegetables. Herneber, it is Via. lot easier to plant a garden than it is to control weeds and care for it later — so, don't over plant.

Make a heavy application of arganic matter and commercial fertilizer, suggests Hancock. Excessive rains in 1957 have brought about some leaching of

Strana 29 plant nutrients from the soil, particularly from the lighter, sandy soils. Heavy applications of well rotted organic matter to the garden site will help improve the physical conditon of the soil and will supply somenutrient elements over a long period of time. Adejuate applications of commercial fertilizer will help furnish a juickly-available source of nutrients.

Some other points stressed by Hancock are plant a variety of crops; obtain seed of adapted varieties; treat all seed with a protecta.nt; and make a succession of plantings to provide vegetables for a longer peroct.

HARDLY APPROPRIATE There was a storm at sea, and the ship was threatened by mountainous waves.

The captain recognized his predicament and sent for a box of sky-rockets and flares. He took these to the rail and ignited them, in the hope that the signal would be seen by some passing ship.

As the rockets were shooting up and the flares glowing brightly, a tall thin individual made his way to the rail and spoke sternly to the captain.

"Captain, I must protest against this unseemly bravado. We 'are in great danger. This is no time for celebration."

1• 4 • ( A REAL CHAMPION Brown's wife had just presented him with triplets and his employer congratulated him on the event. The following day Brown was called into the office and handed a silver cup in recognition of the triple blessing he had bestowed upon his country. Brown received the gift in somewhat embarrassed manner. `Thanks very much," he said, turning to his employer. "But-er-is the cup mine now, or do I have to win it three years in succession?"

• ( STRICTLY NEUTRAL You ask me what party I shall favor in the coining elections. Perhaps I can best answer that by telling you about a cussion on the subject of "Heaven and Hell?" One of the guests turned to the host and said, "Mr. Jones, why don't you give us your views on "Heaven and Hell?"

"I would rather not," replied Mr. Jones "You see I have friends in both places."
