Hied', Bug ku, jak9pak to je kamen?-Vase Milosti, to je kamen na gi zeine.

Byl do klenotnice darovan zaroven s jin9mi. Kdesi za Jleinem je.hora Kozakov a tam se vyskytuji tyto kameny.

Zajimave! 061 Karla nahle poznaly, 2e i jeho zeme je scho-pna, poskytnout krasne a eiste kameny na v9zdobu chra, mu. A kral v duchtt videi steny svatyrie vyzdobeny eist9mi poloclrahokamy.

Kdyt pfi gel z klenotnice, dal vypravit posla' na jizdnim koni, aby vyjel ke Kozakovir a rychtakilm v okolniOh Olacich'ohlasik te si panovnik pkeje, aby se lid vydal na horu hledat kameny, kter9mi kral Karel mohl vyzdobit chram.

Tak nastala lidem kolem Kozakova, vlastne vet ginou detem, protote dospeli byli zameStnani na polich a v lesich. Od te doby bylo vidat star gi deti jak se s kogiky ubiraji ke Kozakovu. Behaly po hohe, v kogiku krajie chleba a kus tvarchu, oci upkeny zeme. Je pravda, te trvalo dlouho, net se sebralo mnotstvi kamenii, jeho bylo tkeba, ale na glo se. Lid z okoli se v to dobe zbavil nouze a kral dal vyzdobit svou kapli nejen maibami, n9brt i eesk9m1 polodrahokamy.--0eska mine pkispela no, v9zdobu svatyno vgim krasn9m, co mela.

FROM T EDITOR'S DF.S77 Cho pions of Liberty The United States is issuing a new series of postage stamps in honor of "Champions of Liberty." Great men, irrespective of nationality or race, have fought for the common cause of freedom. We do well by remembering their deeds for we need their exemplary strength and vision to guide us. Americans of Czechoslovak descent point out with pride that Czechoslovakia gave the world a great statesman and humanitarian, a paragon of democratic leadership, Thomas Masaryk, who has become a symbol to all, the oppressed, not only to the Czechs and Slovaks. Please ask, therefore, that President Masaryk be given the honor of an American postage stamp.

We are happy to announce that our first appeal met with a prompt response.

The American Czech Sokols joined us wholeheartedly and were soon followed by the Slovak Sokols. One unit, for instance, that of Ludovit ,Stun, gathered 200 signatures among its members. The Czechoslovak Societies of America started the signature 'drive through their journal. Others are joining daily. So please write your letter now to Mr. L. Rohe, Asst. Postmaster General, c/o Stamp Advisory Committee, Washington D.C. ( ) • 4,

Dr. Eduard Micek, retired chairman of the Department of Sla VW:1'W Language's, Universit y of Texas, autographed copies of his latest hook "The Real Tolstoy," at an autograph party in the University Co-op Wednesday.

Much of "The Real Holstoy" derives from Dr. Micek's conversations with and personal impressions of the Russian auPLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE thor of "War and Peace," "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the The movie verson of "War and Peace" United States, of America and to the failed to convey the spirit of Tolstoy's Republic for which it stands.

Life Insurance Growth The increased ownership of life in• surance throughout the U. S. thus far in the 1950's shows a wide variation by state, ranging from 221 per cent in Arizona to 61 per cent in Rhode Island, with a national average rise of 94 per cent according to the Institute of Life Insurance. In these seven years, total life insurance in the U. S. owned with the life companies, has risen from $234,168,00O 3 000 to $458,359,000,000.

"Increases in life insurance ownership have not been uniform across the country" the Institute said in commenting on the 1950-57 growth figures. "The rate of increase has been three times as large in some states as in others. These state-by-state variations do not fall into any precise pattern but can be related to population rise, income increase, which in turn is related to population, and to the level of ownership at the start of the period. While not measurable state-bystate, the spread of ownership throughout the family has also been an important factor in the over-all growth of family protection."

The relationship to population is 'perhaps the most significant, the Institute indicates. The five states with the largest percentage rise in life insurance ownership in these seven years, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Nevada and California, all had population increases well above average, three of them having the largest relative gains in population in the U.S. All but one of the states with population increases one-fifth or more above average showed better than average increases in life insurance ownership. Over-all, life insurance in force rose seven times as fast as population.

As for increases in statewide personal income, all of the states with income gains of 20 per cent or more above the U.S. average gain showed better than average increases in life insurance. The five leading states in life insurance gains were also the five leading states in income gain. Insurance in force increased over all- nearly twice as fast as aggregate personal income.

The matter of relative level of ownership per family at the start of the period is also important, as all of the first five states in seven-year life insurance gain were well below average in life insurance per family in 1950 and at the same time all but two of the leaders in ownership Per family in 1950 were below average in seven-year percentage gain in aggregate ownership.

The 1950 leaders in ownership per

family were Deleware, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the last five of these states were below average in percentage life insurance gain over the seven years.

Hope things are Fine! First of all I want to apologize for not writing to our Vestnik sooner, but believe me, I have been busy.

First of all I take this pleasure, in behalf of Lodge Bila Hora, to thank you and Mrs. Hosek very kindly for your help during our Meeting on the 2nd of November. We were very happy to have both of you with us. And Further, we sincerely thank you for the nice write up you printed in the Vestnik. We feel honored to have, such publicity.

I think we had a very nice meeting.

The only trouble is you have occasions like this only once in a life time, and then you don't know just how a person should master a pragram on such an occasion. But I think the Supreme Lodge Officers did a swell job for us and many thanks to them!

Oh, yes, thanks for the extra copies of the Vestnik.

Now about the weather, it has been raining off and on since this morning and as warm as in June. Hope it gets cold by the weekend, (Nebo Pojedem Najeleny).

No special news, so I will close, and once more we want to thank you for whatever you did in regard to our meeting when we had the pleasure to honor our Sister Mrs. Valchar.

During our business session it was unanimously voted that we contribute $500 to the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, said $50 to be used solely toward building indebtedness.

Brother Navratil in consequence of the above action of the Lodge, I herewith enclose our check for $50 and ask that you kindly deliver it to the proper party for the intended purpose.

With best personal regards, I am Sincerely and fraternally, R. F. Holubec, Secty.

Editor's Note: Many thanks to your fine Lodge. ) •4 BELLMEAD, TEXAS, LODGE NO. 66 Brother Hosek, Would you please find a little space in the Vestnik for my letter of appreciation.

Now that I am home from the hospital after my operation, well enough to be back in school, I would like to send sincerest thanks especially to the SPJST Youth Club of Lodge No. 66 for the lovely flower arrangement. Also, many thanks to the members of our Lodge No. 66 for the many cards and the thoughts behind them. I enjoyed each of your cheerful visits, all of my friends were so wonderful to me. — Thank you.

Sincerely yours, Billy Joe Korenek, Jr. ) ° 4 •( LODGE POKROK NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters, Last weekend, Saturday, November 8 and Sunday November 9, Brothers Bill Gaiser, Otto Janusek, Willie Ondrusek, Jody Rejcek and Ben Jarma enjoyed a most wonderful duck hunting trip in Houston, or rather at Danbury, Texas, hunting with Brother Joe Skrabanek and his nephew, Tommy Lastak on Bro. Skrabanek's ranch. We all enjoyed shoot ing at the ducks, although we did not exactly bag our full limit. We did kill a total of 20 ducks. Counting the ones we missed we all should have, bagged: our full limit. Had we not killed any ducks at all, our trip would still have been a success because it did us all good to get out and relax and have a good time. We all enjoyed visiting with that grand brother and friend from District V, Joe Skrabanek. We all think he is a wonderful and truly a great fraternal brother and we thank him for being such a gracious host and for giving us the privilege of hunting on his ranch Also our thanks to Brother Tommy Lostak for hunting with us and helping make our hunting trip so enjoyable.

Strum 19 I do want to caution all our organizers in District III all those who may read this, that Brother skrabanek still hasn't conceded the oontest to District III. Although he keeps saying they have already lost, he gave his crew a "pep" talk we understand and all I can sumnaize is that you can bet the sales of insurance will really pick up in District V. So let's all of us organizers in District III get busy and, first of all, try to reach our goal and sell the amount of Insurance we are supposed to in our District.

By achieving our goal, we will* and should be successful in our contest with District V. We also wish to our opponents in District V. the best of luck and lots of sales until the end of the year.

Let's all be true fraternalists in this great and wonderful SPJST Order of which we are members and let us all strive to make our organization still better by working together in a friendly and brotherly manner.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma ) • 40 • ( LESSING, TEXAS Dear Editor, Brothers and Sisters, We of the SPJST Lodge of No. 148 El Maton, have postponed our election of officers and would appreciate' it very much if our members would come to our next meeting the first Sunday in December which will be December 7th.

Women's Nook WEST, TEXAS Once more Thanksgiving rolls around in America and the story of the first Thanksgiving is retold over again.

In today's prayer of thanksgiving for our blessings in this wonderful country will be the fervent prayer for Peace for America as well as the brotherhood of man in the whole world, for we have become world conscious.

It was in the year 1621, they tell us, that the new Colony of Plymouth, in the present state of Massachusetts, held the remaining handful of settlers who originally came to Arnerica on the ship Mayflower, who felt the need to set aside a period for the giving of Thanks for their first bountiful crop and survival, for less than half of the original 102 men, women and children survived the onslaught of disease and starvation that first year.

One spring day in the year 1621, they say, an Indian walked into the Colony and greeted the astonished Pilgrims in English. He was Samoset, he told them, he had learned the English language from early trades passing through. The Pilgrims welcomed him and later his Indian friends, giving him gifts and sharing what little they had with him.

He in return showed them how to till and plant Indian corn in the rocky soil and how to fertilize it with fish, They also planted vegetables for their vegetable-starved diets. Samoset acted as their interpreter and guide.

That spring brought out the sun and warm rains abundantly and under the anxious watching of the crops upon which they knew their lives depended, the harvest proved good, in fact beyond expectation. With hearts filled with gratitude the colony's governor, William Bradford, declared a three-day period of Thanksgiving to which their friend Chief Massasoit and his tribe from the

VESTNIK -- WEST, . TEXAS surrounding countryside were invited. and so a feast was declared.

They tell us that the first Thanksgiving Day, 337 years ago, was warm and pleasant. In a clearing in the forest, boys in deerhide knee breeches, tended fires and turned spits upon which hung meat browning evenly on all sides.

Women and young girls, dressed in their crisp white bonnets and long dark dresses were busy pushing large paddles loaded with pies into the outdoor ovens.

Nearby the menfolks were building tables of logs upon which to spread the feast.

Even the wee ones were busy. They were going round and round in a circle in one corner of the clearing wearing little harnesses of buckskin which were fastened to a large, flat rock against another beneath it, to grind the yellow maize into coarse meal.

Chief Massosoit, being a mindful guest, sent his men into the woods to bring .in five fat deer, The Colonist had brought in ducks, geese and wild turkeys from their hunting. They also had lobsters, clams, elk and other fish. There were leeks, plums, cornbread, vegetables, berries, and squash and pumpkin pies.

It was a wonderful feast the Colonist had, giving thanks in prayer for the blessings bestowed upon this their crutial year and the Indians giving thanks to "Him who made the trees grow, the corn grow, and all kinds of fruit."

When the three-day feast was over, the colony's food supply was again low, however, they had no regrets for they knew that even though they would be on short rations by spring, the Divine Providence that provided for them before would again help them.

Thanksgiving is probably the one holiday of all that is most American.

Just as those Pilgrims did so long ago, we AmFricans shall sit down to our traditional feast amid our loved ones to a 6ay of joyous feasting and hearts filled with love and gratitude for these blessings. .

Our thoughts will touch upon those who are no longer with us, upon men in other parts of our world who know not these blessings and we shall include him in our prayers on this day.

May this day find all of you girls, happy and glowing with anticipation of having your family, the precious children and grandchildren in the family circle, to give you lots of love, joy and pleasure on this day. God keep you all!

Fraternally, The Editor's Wife )o a •( Dear Editor Hosek, Firts, I will identify myself. "I am the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and

Wednesday, November 19, 1958 Mrs. J. J. Hanus of Ennis, Texas. I have been married to Walter Krenek of Alief, Texas, for 30 years, and we lived in Alief until last year. We moved here as we have a cotton gin here, and we like it very much. We have one son who is 28 years of age and he has two children. Also we have a daughter who is 16 years of age, and who is a junior in Industrial High School here in Vanderbilt. We have some news about her which I thought you might be interested in putting in your column, "Czech Names In Texas News." Kathryn is a member of the Houston SPJST Lodge.

I enjoy reading the Vestnik every week as it brings me news of some people that I would not ever hear about otherwise. It was nice seeing your photo with your little granddaughter.

With Best Wishes to you both Yours very truly, Mrs. Walter Krenek (Rubye Blanus) Editor's Note: Thanks for your letter this proves that our Vestnik is widely read and of interest to many of our scattered friends. We are indeed obliged for clippings from our friends, they help to bring us closer to each other. ) •4• TAYLOR, TEXAS Sisters and Brothers, Well, it's time to report that our Lodge Praha No. 29, of Taylor, held its regular meeting Sunday, afternoon at 2:00 p.m.

We were all somewhat disappointed that more of our brothers and sisters'did not attend our meeting; since it was election of officers. We did have about 40 or more present.

Our president Rueben Lesikar opened the meeting and Brother Boudny read the minutes, then Brother Frank Hejl gave his report and Brother Edwin Kovar gave the report for the property Committee. e also made the motion that they raise the president's and the vice-president's salaries from $2.00 to $10.00 and from $1.00 to $5.00 respectively, which was approved and carried.

We also voted to have our Christmas Party at our next regular Meeting which will be on December 14th and everyone is asked to bring a covered dish and come early between 11 and 12:00 o'clock (as we would like to serve dinner promptly at 12:00 o'clock and you brothers bring your fancy aprons as it was decided the sisters will prepare the dinner and the brothers will do the dishes and clean up.

We lost one member again this month he was Brother Clarence Pavlicek and a minute's silent prayer was given in respect.

This time our lodge gained membership through three new members.

Then we had the nomination and the

Wednesday, November 19, 1958 election of officers which results are as follows: President, Reuben Lesihar was re- elected; Vice-President, Br other Frank Pakorny was re-elected; Secretary, Brother L. A. Boudny was reelected; for Financial Secretary, Brother Ben Mikolaj Was re-elected; Treasurer, Brother Frank Hejl was re-elected and for the Property Committee, we voted for only one member this year who will serve three years. He was Brother Edwin Kovar by re-election, On the Entertainment Committee, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kasparek were re-elected and Brother Anton Pokorny was elected to replace Brother Frank Pokorny. Now, brace yourself Brother Hosek, here comes the news! I was re-elected as Reporter, so if you get any gray hairs, charge them to my account.

After the meeting adjourned, the good sisters prepared a good lunch with plenty of good coffee (that's the best part of it all), and then we all sat around the tables and just talked and talked. It was such a beautiful day. that it was a plesure to get out after being sooped up in the house for so many rainy days.

I was very pleased to have met Mrs. Hosek at our District Meeting and it really was nice seeing all of you there.

Come back again!

All the farmers are out in the fields this week, it's still too wet, but everybody is so far behind with their work, so they are not taking any more chances.

With best regards to all, I am Fraternally yours, Mrs. Frank Pokorny Elitor's Note: Just keep on and do not mind the gray hairs they are now in the majority. â&#x20AC;˘( LODGE LA PARITA NO. 161 Jour canton, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers, Our November meeting was held on the first Sunday as always and many members remembered, as it was one of the best attended meetings we have had all year. Perhaps this was due to the fact it was held in the evening and they got their Sunday afternoon nap. If you missed this meeting, well you missed an enjoyable evening of visiting and also an interesting discussion. It was 10:00 o'clock before we finally shooed out the last 42-players and locked up the hall.

(I must admit Charlie and I were some of the last to quit.)

Our December meeting will be a very important one, several important issues will be put to a vote â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also it will be our Christnaas party. We are trying to get a program together be sure to come out and bring the children as a Christmas present will be there for all of them.

BRYAN, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our SPJST meeting and get-together afterwards Sunday was a success. We had a good crowd representing our Lodge No. 39. We were honored to have with us Brother Hejny from the Supreme Lodge at Temple. During our meeting Brother Hejny was asked many questions and he explained every one .very nicely. lie also spoke to us about how we must support the youth clubs because these children are our future leaders not only in our own fraternal organization but to the better leaders in our communities. His talk was interesting even to the children of our Youth Club, they listened very intensely. Thank you Brother Hejny for taking time out to be with us in this meeting. We sincerely hope that you enjoyed being with us as much as we did having you. Hope to see you here again soon in the future.

After our meeting we had a hot dog and doughnut supper and boy did those hot dogs go. We are very happy to state that we had two packages of buns left and only two packages of wieners. This took pretty good guess work on the part of our refreshment committee. It sure felt good to have so many good people come out and help make this day a success. I met several young boys and girls that I hope will come to our next youth

meeting. I wanted to talk to them more but was busy at the time and they left before I had a second chnnce, but I am hoping to see you at our party and dance which will be held at the ODHS Hall on the 26th of November.

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Kucera of Ganado, Texas celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with an all day celebration at the American Legion Flail in. Ganado, Texas on the 15th of November.

After every one was through eating we had some good music which was furnished by the Longgone Orchestra. This orchestra consists of three accordions and one guitar and I assure you that they made plenty of noise. The party broke up around eight o'clock and I think everyone had a grand time.

God be with you, District I Youth Director Mrs. Lillie Matejka 1 • 11. ( KOVAR, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: I guess it is time I write again to let you know what's going on here.

Last Sunday, November 2nd, we held our regular meeting which opened with the Salute to our Flag, led by Sister Dorothy Susan.

Then Brother Jerry Stepan read the minutes of the last meeting — he had everything writen down very nicely.

We then had nominations of officers for the coming year — all of our old officers were re-elected.

Thanks to all the brothers and sisters for electing me Financial Secretary. I will try to do my best to have everything correct.

In my last letter an error was made that was made in the printing office. I just Wrote the Mr. Jeff Zimmerhanzel was working on his Antenna and fell down and that was all. In the Vestnik it said that he fell from the roof, so I would like to get this corrected. Sister Zimmerhanzel wrote me a letter telling how it happened so Mr. Editor will you please put it in the Vestnik like that.

"— my husband did not fall from any roof. He was standing on the ground and bent over to lay down a short piece and never got up. He was rushed to the hospital and died of coronary occlusion. Sure wish you would make the correction, the boys asked me to write."

(The Vestnik is happy to correct this misinterpretation).

On Nov. 11th Brother Frank Stepan had visitors from Plum, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sabersula, Julie Hofferek from La Grange and two more folks whose names I have forgotten.

On Nov. 11th Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sisal And I went to a nice wedding at Hunger-

vEsTNix — WEST, TEXAS ford. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Husinecky gave their daughter Bernice in marriage to IVIr. Jerry Fabian. I believe Jerry comes from Yoakum. It certainly was a nice wedding and the bride looked so lovely in her floor length wedding dress of net and lace. She had two bridesmaids: one dressed in pink taffeta and the othe • in light blue taffeta in the same style.

Many lovely presents were received.

The dinner as well as supper was served in cafeteria style and consisted of barbecued chicken, beef, dressing, potato salad, pickles, peaches, tee and coffee. The pastries consisted of kolaches, cake and strudel.

After paying our respects to the newly weds, around 7 o'clock we headed for home.

The young couple went on a short honeymoon trip to Corpus Christi, and returned to their work, Monday. (Now, I got stuck, it's either Bay City or Baytown) where the bridegroom is a foreman or boss in a store.

Oh, yes I, got acquainted with some nice people that read my letters. They are: Mr. and Mrs. Sabersula, I forgot his first name, but anyway, Mr. Sabersula used to live here when he was a young boy and remembered lots of folks here. Now he owns a store in Hungerford. He has a very friendly wife and she told me if we make another picnic or have another dinner that they will try to come over next year. We sure will be looking for you all.

Well, my letter is getting long so I had better end it.

The house feels so empty, Eugene and his wife Louise and littly Ricky left to return to Houston and I sure miss that little fellow.

My paper is at an end and I will need another sheet so I had better end. Oh yes, Santa Claus is taking orders for Christmas, so let's all be good.

A good night to everybody and hope to see you all some day real soon, I am, Fraternally yours, Lillie Evicic • & • COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 WEST, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our regular Meeting and Annual Turkey Supper was held Sunday November 2nd. at our Lodge No. 6 Cottonwood.

YOUTH CLUB HOOLA HOOPS INVADE THE SPJST

The youth of our brotherhood have brought the Hoola Hoops into our fraternal lodges through their Youth Programs and they have brought with them lots of competitive fun and laughter for the young members as well as the older members.

Just by chalice it was learned how these . Hoops came into being which we pass on to our brotherhood.

Australian Discovery It was the waltzing Matildas Down Under who discovered the art in a hoop.

That was two years ago. Now others have learned that hooping offers endless fascination in its veried forms which all add up to grace, agility and laughs: Whole families practice together, and weighty members find the trick of twirling good for the midriff. A more substantial hoop for those who wish to exercise for weight loss is to be on the market real soon.

Nobody told us, but it looks as if hoops could be made from+ plastic garden hose! in pink, green, yellow, red blue, and white, they brighten school yards and front lawns and beaches and lend an air of childlike freedom to staid civilian life that is quite refreshing.

The Hoops are being made in strips like tubes, then fastened together in the proper sizes by plugs and boxed for shipment. They are made of aluminum,: wood and flexihoop, which appears to be a type of rubber that won't damage furniture. They make excellent gifts and contest prizes.

The Chicago firm that makes them in America squeezes the polyethlene mixture through an extruder akin to a spaghetti machine. Hoops once were just a rim to roll along and guide with a stick, have become an art appealing to all lovers of music, rhythm, and dance to delight millions around our nation.

In hoop racing ewe 71odj is his own master, 'discovering new gyrations and rhythms to suit his personal mood at the moment. Youngsters spending hours with the hoop are inventively employed,

Strana 23 freely expressing themselves in a manner natural to children. Whether or not hoop twirling Will take the place of baton twirling at football games-is just a matter of waiting expectantly to see. what the high school set invents to keep the bleacher crowd happy in between' halves, but a more colorful and delight.; ful exhibition could not be desired: Even precision drills with the hoops would be well accepted.

It all goes to prove that the simpler a plaything, the more fun it is, because it demands something from the player that mechanical things deprive him of..And for a quick recovery of childlikefreedom -- a little girl jumping through her hoop, spinning it, running through. it and then jumping again; why, it could be an "enchanted ring" given her by the wood fairies, the little people of the woodland, for her to play and skip with, entirely forgetting everything around her. She would be joy to behold. a

• TRLICAS RETURN FROM VISIT IN MISSOURI Mr. and Mrs. Jno. P. Trlica returned recently via the Texas Special from the State of Missouri where they spent a week as guests of their son and daughter in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond H. Trlica and daughters, Susan and Nancy.

Their son and his family reside in Springfield, Misouri. They have lived there since 1951 when he received a medical degree from the St. Louis Medical University. He is connected with St. John's Hospital of Springfield, as a registered physical therapist. The hospital is the largest and most modern in the middle west, was build in 1950 at a cost of seven and a half million dollars and is operated by Sisters of Mercy.

Their son drove them by car over a large portion of the state, over 1100 miles. They visited at Cape Girardeau to the east on the west bank of the Mississippi River, from the Cape they drove to St. Louis to the north, where they went through many beautiful City parks. From St. Louis they drove to Jefferson City, capitol of Missouri. The capitol is located on the west bank of the Missouri River on a bluff 150 feet above the River. On one occasion they crossed the Mississippi River into the State of Illinois. They toured many lakes and dams, including the Bagnell Dairy and the Lake in the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks Mountains, Bull Shoals Dam and Lake Taneycomo.

Mr. and Mrs. Trlica said the climate was perfect for the time they stayed in the state, no cold weather and no rain, and also mentioned the tremendous variety of trees growing in the state, and of such beauty, especially now during the autumn season when tree leaves are turning into the different hues of color. This was Mr. and Mrs. Trlica's third visit to the state during a period of 9 years, and they enjoyed the trip.

Social Security Some disabled, workers, previously not eligible, may qualify now for social security benefits, according to. Al Bracken, of the Social security Office.

The recent amendments (.to the social security law liberalized the •rules as to the amount of work needed to qualify for disability benefits or to "freeze" the disabled worker's social security' account, Mr. Bracken explained.

"In the past, a disabled person must have worked on jobs covered by social security at least five year out of the 10 years just before his disability began.

At least a year and a half qf work must have been done in the three years juSt before he became disabled," he Said.

"The amended law retains the fiveyear work requirement, but: the second requirement is eliminated. This, will make it easier for a worker to qualify his disability began gradually, or if he wasn't working on the job covered by social security just before he became disabled."

Nationally, it is estimated that 50,00,0 people will acquire-eligibility because of this change. Those between the ages of 50 and 65 may be eligible to receive cash benefits, and those under 50 may "freeze" their social security records to prevent a reduction in their future benefits.

Disabled workers who had been told they could not gualify because they did not have enough recent work should get in touch with the Social Security Office again to see if they meet the new requirements.

No change was made with regard to the severity of the .disability that the

Wednesday, November 19, 1958 worker must have in order to qualify.

Two of the most important changes made in the Social Security law by the 1958 Amendments, are those relating to the families of workers too disabled for further substantial gainful work and to dependent parent of workers who have died.

Mr. Brocken stated that monthly benefit payments to qualified workers have been made, beginning with July 1957. Until now, no payments were possible to their families until the disabled bread winner reached age 65 or if he died before that time This resulted in a hardship for many families.

Insurance protection in the form of monthly benefits is now provided the disabled person's children under 18, and any older children under a disability beginning before they becanrie 18. Benefits are also payable to the disabled person's wife if she has in her care a child eligible for benefits or if she is at least 62 years of age.

Regarding dependent parents, before enactment of the 1958 amendments, an aged parent, however dependent, could never get benefits based on the earnings of a son or daughter, if there was a surviving wife, dependent widow, or child who was entitled or who could later become entitled to payments. This restriction applied even in cases where those survivors never actually became Social Security beneficiaries.

Under the new law as now amended any parent of a worker, who died fully insured is now eligible for benefits if he is at least 65 (62 for women) and was receiving at least half his support from the deceased son or daughter at the time of death.

Since the application must be filed before benefits can be paid, persons receiving disability insurance benefits, and who have eleigible dependents, should contact their district office. Parents of deceased workers who were financially dependent on the deceased son or daughter should also contact the social security office.

Before you can make the world better it, is pointed out you must be better yourself. You must clean everything out of y our heart and fill it with love. So, make life sweeter now, while you can, for the ones you live with every day.

In mehalf of all our members, wish to express our sympathy to the bereaved wife, son, daughter, brothers, and our faithful member JOHN ZOTYKA who passed away at his home following a heart attack, October 30th at 9:00 p.m. at the age 55 years. He was a resident of East Bernard for the past 40 years.

The deceased was born February 8, 1903, in Czechoslovakia, and came to this country while a young boy. He was employed: by Wharton County Precinct No. 2 for the past 15 years.

Surviving are his wife, one son, Charles, of Florida, one doughter, Mrs. Joe Kovar, of East Bernard; two grandchildren, two brothers, Ladie and Felix of Rosenberg; seven sisters, Mrs. Alice Foyt of Rosenberg, Mrs. Martha Janik of Wharton, Mrs. Sophie Sebesta and Mrs. Louise Terry of Houston, Mrs. Jennie Robertson, Mrs. Emalie David and Mrs. Ruth Childress of La Porte.

More than 50,000 of the men and women employed in the life insurance business are currently enrolled in formal life insurance education courses. in addition to the extensive company training programs, the Institute of Life Insurance estimates.

"As as result of the life companies' emphasis on educational programs, home office and field agent personnel are preparing to provide still better service to policyholders," says the Institute. "Additionally, greater career opportunities are opened to life insurance personnel taking courses in such life insurance and allied subjects as underwriting, actuarial science, sales, law, accounting, personnel management, administration and finance."

When a life insurance company employee is established in his job, he is encouraged to take courses which emphasize supervisory and management development. Currently, nearly 11,000 employees of approxin-stely 426 life insurance companies and affiliated organizations are taking courses prepared by the Life Office Management Association Institute. Aggregate enrollment in these courses since their start in 1933, is more than 47,000, providing the life insurance business with a large pool of supervisory and management potential.

It is estimated that for the current school year, about 8,000 men and women, chiefly filed personnel, are enrolled in well over 300 classes sponsored by the American College of Life Underwriters in nearly 200 American cities.

These students are working towards the professional designation of Chartered Life Underwriter determined by a proficiency in advanced life insurance and allied economic subjects.

More than 1,800 employees with specila aptitudes for mathematics are now studying actuarial science, thei most technical of all life insurance studies.

Successful completion of the examination series leads to the designation of fellow or assaciate of the Society of Actuaries, a professional status now held

Stran g 28 by nearly 2,000 men and women.

The life insurance companies have put special emphasis on the training and advanced education of its representatives ,in the field who have direct sales and service contact with the American public. Most life companies have preliminary training courses for their new men, many have advanced underwriting courses for establishing agents.

To develop greater proficiency as agency representatives, close to 10,000 persons are currently taking the advanced two year course of the Life Underwriters Training Council with nearly 1,000 classes being conducted.

Since its beginning ten years ago, the Life Underwriters Training Council has graduated over 21,000 agents with advanced underwriting qualifications.

To supervise the field operations of the life companies, it is estimated that within the next ten years, 16,000 new agency managers are expected to be trained to manage agency operations.

The Life Insurance Agency Management Association, through its management study courses and its agency management schools, is providing the educational programs designed to meet this need. In a little more than three decades the Life Insurance Agency Management Association has conducted 165 schools in which 310 life companies have perpared over 9,000 managerial prospects.

The American College of Life Underwriters has begun this year, a college level course for field and home office agency personnel leading to a Diploma in Management Education. These courses are now being conducted in eleven cities.

At the top executive level, many life insurance companies are enrolling their executive personnel in special seminar courses designed to provide succession in leadership.

It's Easy Two duck hunters were waiting for dawn to break over the half - frozen marsh where they were ensconced in a duck blind. One of them had brought a thermos of hot coffee to keep himself warm. the other had brought a thermos of brandy. Both thermoses were empty when the sun came up and a lone duck flew overhead. The coffee drinker raised his gun, fired, and missed. The brandy drinker raised his gun, fired, and watched, the duck fall with satisfaction.

"Nica shot," commented the coffee drinker.

"Shucks" said the other modestly, "when you shoot , at a flock like that, you can hardly miss hitting at least one.',

Laws About The Bread We uy

By Calvin C. Chervenka

New bread standards went into effect July 1, to assure that you get the kind of bread you pay for.

After that date, if you buy a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread and it doesn't have raisins in it, the baker is subject to action.

The standards require all bread and rolls to be properly labeled so as to truthfully reflect their ingredients and nutritious qualities.

Patterned after federal food standards they will be administered by the State Health Department's Food and Drug Division. A majority of the baking industry fully supports the standards.

Labeling means much more than a colorful wrapping around a loaf of bread.

It includes, among other' things, the advertising claims made by the baker for his product.

A food is misbranded when its labeling is false or misleading in any particular, if it is offered for sale under the name of another food, or if it is an imitation of another food (unless its label bears in prominent type the word "imitation" and immediately thereafter the name of the food imitated).
