,MOM THE ITOR'S DESK Important AlIFIOUnce71 Under a law enacted at the close of the last Congress, a sum of $9,000,000 belonging to Czechoslovakia will be distributed to certain claimants against Czechoslovakia unless that government concludes a claim settlement agreement with the United States before. August 1959.

As a result of this law it is reasonable to expect intensified negotiations for a settlement of nationalization and confiscation claims between the two governments. Such a settlement is bound to follow the model of its predecessor and the recent law and will exclude from its protection the claims of U.S. citizens who were naturalized since World War II unless united action will not bring about contrary measures.

That the United States can and should obtain a more favorable treatment for its new citizens is evidenced by the fact that Great Britain, Norway, and Belgium, among others have coneluded more adequate and favorable agreements with Czechoslovakia. These countries protect all citizens who acquired their citizenship before the signature of claims agreement, even though after the date of the "taking."

It is proposed to form a claimants' committee to combat the discriminatory U.S. practices in the appropriate place, 'viz. at the State Department and before Congress. Only a united group of claimants, pooling their interests and competently presented, can hope to win justice for its cause.

is estimated at about $290,000,000, compared with $113,000,000 in 1949. In this period, annual purchases of new ordinary life insurance have about tripled.

First year death claim payments under industrial insurance policies have also increased in the decade, through not as rapidly. Based on the on g month's analysis, it is estimated that this year's total will be about $8,700,000 con:oared with $7,600,000 in 1949. Payments under policies less than, 5 years old will probably be more than $40,000,000 this year, compared with $38,000,000 in 1949.

Group life insurance claims cannot be measured readily on a first year basis due to the continuous addition to or withdrawal from groups as workers change employment, but the fact that just the new group life insurance set up this year will probably be about four times the 1949 total, indicates that first year death benefits under group certificates will also show a rise in the decade.

The death benefit analysis also shows a material increase in the average size of death benefits paid. This year, apparently, 41 per cent of the aggregate amount paid as death benefits under ordinary insurance policies is under policies of $10,000 or more, while in 1949, the similar analysis showed 33 per cent paid under policies of this size. At the same time, 36 per cent of the aggregate paid currently was under policies of less than $5,000, while in 1949, the policies of this size accounted for 42 per cent of the total., The growth average size of industrial insurance policies is also reflected in the current figure of 45 per cent of benefits coming from policies of $500 and over compared ith 26 per cent in 1949.

Group life insurance has shown even greater increases in average size of policy. This year 32 per cent of the aggregate group death benefits are from certificates of '$10,000 or more, compared with 14 per cent in 1949. In these years, the number of group certificates of $10,000 or more becoming death claims has risen nearly nine-fold.

Dr. Taborsky is a professor of government at the Universit y of Texas. He was born in Prague G's choslovakia, and served as Secretary to the Czechoslovak Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time of the fatal "Munich" settlement. He also served as Personal Aide to President Edward Benesh of the Czechoslovak Government-in-exile in Britain during World War II and later served as Czechoslovak Envoy to Sweden. He is referred to by the communist as "one of the masterminds behind the plot to overthrow the communist government of Czechoslovakia."

The Role Of Congress In January of this coming year, 534 men and women will assemble in the nation's capital to represent the people of the 49 states of the Union. Of these 534, 98 will be Senators and 436 members of the House of Representatives.

This incoming Congress will be the 86th to meet since the lust Congress met in 1789.

Congress was created by the Constitution, which provides that Congress be Trade up of two houses; a Senate, composed of two Senators from each state and a House of Representatives whose membership is base4 d. on the population in each state. The reason for organizing the legislative branch in this way was the result of a conflict between the smaller and larger states that made up the original United States.

At the convention where the Constitution was drawn up, the delegates from the smaller states — fearful of being dominated by the larger ones — asked to be given equal representation in both houses of Congress. Delegates of the more populous states, on the other hand argued that representation should be according to population. What came about was a compromise that satisfied both.

In making and passing laws the two Houses work closely together. When a bill is passed by one House, it is then sent to the other House where it is either passed or defeated. Sometimes it is passed in an amended form — in which case it is returned to the other House. If the first House does not agree to the el-images, the bill may go to a conference committee in which each House is equally represented. If the points of difference are ironed out then the final bill is presented to each House for its approval.

Before any bill becomes law, however, it must be signed by the President.

Should he reject or veto it, it can be returned to Congress here a two-thirds vote will override the veto and the bill will become law.

Contrary to the parliamentary system of government — where the majority party controls both the executive and legislative branch of a government — here in the United States the party which wins the majority of Congressional seats controls the leadership of Congress regardless of the party affiliation of the President. Once again, for example, the Democratic party will control both the Senate and the House of Representatives, although President Eisenhower is. of course, a Republican. ) • 4, • (

Both House.s of Congress have almost the same authority in the making of laws. Each House, however, has certain powers which it alone may exercise.

The importance of this new marketing system, particularly in the development of "interurbia" and "surbia," is more clearly shown by the estimate of total sales and service of all shopping centers in 1957, roughly $35,00,000,000. Shopping centers have been almost entirely the development of the years since the end of World War II, especially the past two or three years.

This huge development of shopping centers has affected a large share of the nation's consumers, one estimate putting the total consumer list of these centers at 70,000,000. Another impact of the center has been on local employment, many thousands of jobs having been opened by their establishment.

Some of the 2,500 centers employ hundreds of men and women, as they include up to as many as 70 shops each and some of them do an annual business estimated as large as $80,000,000.

The life insurance company financing of shopping centers has been effected primarily through mortgage loans, bonds and lease-back arrangements. Of the billion dollars of financing outstanding, the larger part is under mortgages. One center, however, among the largest in the country, is owned outright by a life company. This is a, 70-acre center now under construction in New Jer sey, which will include 60 stores in 14 buildings and is expected to prodUce $200,000,000 annual sales in the first full year.

Thanks From Beaumont Lodge The convergence of over a hundred or more out of town SPST visitors from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple, Port Arthur, Edna, Taylor and Danbury, Texas, to the installation of our new Lodge No. 166 has definitely proven to our new Charter Members that Fellowship is really practiced in our Life Insurance Fraternity.

The impressive ceremonies and eloquent speeches performed by our Supreme Lodge Officers and other distinguished SPJST visitors were well received and praised by our Beaumont members and other Beaumont visitors that attended.

Likewise, the Welcome extended by the Beaumont Mayor, Jimmie P. Cokinos and other Difnitaries of Beaumont; the motorcycle escort provided from the Beaumont Police Dept. and the excellent performance by the Elks Lodge in playing the part as host to our new SPJST Lodge is by all means to be praised.

Vernon Temple, Exaulted Ruler, of the Elks has gone a long way — and then some — to see to it that the Welcona carpet was rolled out in good fashion.

Particularly, Brother Alfred Hilsher, President of Houston Lodge No. 88 and his entire delegation should be praised , for bringing out the largest number of Visitors from his Lodge. An apology is due him for the fact that thru oversight he was not even recognized in our program. Please accept my sincere apologies Brother Hilsh.er for this serious error.

Incidentally, we wish to bring to everybody's attention, that regular local 16dge meetings will be held on the second Monday night of every month, at 8 p.m. at Elk's Lodge 827 N. Pearl St., Beaumont. Next meeting comes on next Monday night, Dec. 8th. A standing invitation is being extended to all SPJST members and your friends to visit with us in our meetings.

A big "Thank You" is extended to each and everyone that came, and/or partici-, gated in the celebration Sunday, Nov. 23rd.

's Nook WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls, Well, it's all over but the groaning too much Thanksgiving! This is one time when the two great American groups, the staffers, who can eat anything and stay slim and the dieters who have to count calories very closely had a meeting of minds and really did the Thanksgiving board honors.

Between now and Christmas there will be honest attempts to get rid of some of the gained Avoirdopois of Thanksgiving but the going will be more difficult be-, cause of the concentrated selling effort of America's merchants of Christmas goodies which are so temptingly advertised in colors and in eye-catching arrangements, of the Super. Market ads of which there are usually whole section in the paper, emblazoning gifts of high calory food gifts for Christmas giving and dining and even the teleVision commercials that one has to sit through to finish seeing our favorite Who Dunit program are happily gurgling some delicious nectar, sampling foods,: torturing the dieter's will power to keep from nibbling between meals. Just about the time we start patting ourselves on the back at our resistance, thinking that at last we licked it, - zooie - we back slide with just a tinnincy bite - and the battle is on again.

The hefty ones reassure themselves that they would rather look "pleasing plump" than angular and skinny and live in this blissful deceit until they start thinking about clothes, which too are very close to every woman's heart.

We spot a cute frock in the store window! Just what I want! We walk confidently into the store, approach the clerk, 'What size?" "sorry, we don't carry that style in your size," "what do

Strana 20 you have in my size?" to which the sales lady leads you to the back of the store on the back wall rack hang a dozen or so unimaginatively designed Mother Hubbard creations that makes one quake with disgust and realization that unless some of that (now it's fat) is saken off, you will really never be able to wear those cute frocks that are in the store windows. The Mother Hubbards are never up in the front windows! With stubborn resolution, you refuse to eat supper that night, you will, you will get rid of that excess (hubby chuckling) land the battle starts all over again! A vicious cycle in the life of the Dieters!

One can just hear our slim sisters chortling!

It's raining this Thanksgiving in West and our gardens are soaking it all up.

There has been a little need for top moisture in most of our plowed up garden plots and growing flowers. In some spots there has been a good frost which brings to mind that many of you have pulled all of your green tomatoes from the vines to ripen them indoors.

Some folks hang the whole tomato vine in the barn from the rafter to ripen while some pick only the fruit and carry it indoors. If wrapped singularly in a paper wrap and stored one layer deep in shallow boxes, the tomatoes will ripen into Christmas. When there are too many, chowchow and pickles can be made. I've an excellent Crystal Tomato Pickle which I present to you to try. I hope you like it and that you will keep the recipe in your permanent file.

Crystal Tomato Pickles Seven pounds green tomatoes (before seed begins to ripen) Put to soak in 5 gallon crock of water with 2 cups of lime well dissolved for 24 hours. Then take out and wash gently to remove lime, bring to boil: 3 quarts of vinegar, 5 pounds sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground spice, - teaspoon celery, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 good size pinch of salt. Pour over tomatoes and let stand 24 hours, then boil one and one-half hours slowly. Seal in small jars. Good Luck!

Did you know just how many Texas towns have Czech names? I found these which proved very interesting. I've been to some of them while travelin g over Texas, but to most of them I have not.

They are: Bila Hora, Dubina, Fridek, Frenstat, Hegar, Holik, Holub, Kovar, Krasna, Lipa, Marak, Mikeska, Nechanitz Novohrad, Ratibor, Rosanky, Roznov, Sebesta, Shimek, Smetana, Polanka, Pisek, Prague, Praha, Tabor, Vsetin Vokaty and Zizkov.

Quite an impressive lot, aren't they?

PART OF THE VISITORS WHO ATIENDLD DISTRICT II MEETING AT TAYLOR

ORGANIZERS PRI !DISTRICT II MEETING — Our Organiv, rs pictiired above were present at Taylor Lodge Praha, recently when District II held their Meeting.

Wednesday, December 3, 1958 Later, the appearance and greetings by the Honorable Jimmie P. Cokinos, Mayor of the City of Beaumont, confirmed the fact that SPJST Beaumont Lodge 166 he el been recognized.

This addition to the SPJST came through the time and efforts of our friend and member, Brother Charlie Cerny, formerly from San Antonio Lodge 133. He left San Antonio to establish his home and business in Beaumont; and the fact that in his farsighted dreams he saw fit to go into business in that city is beside the point except to say that his confidence in the continued growth and progress of the city of Beaumont led him to realize an ambition — or one of his many ambitions!

This is not, by any means, authentic information on my part, but I would be willing to say that because of the interest in the SPJST, which Brother Cerny always maintained, and through his natural salescrlanship and duties as an organizer, he had no futher intentions than to interest his daily contacts in the protection available by our order, and perhaps it came as much a surprise to him as well as to his colleagues when he realized that another lodge was launched! It might be added that in a n,atter of a very few months the list of his new applicants grew into what is now a list of charter members of Lodge Beaumont 166.

Congratul:tions, Brother Cerny!

Congratulations and Best Wishes for the growth and ha ppiness of this new lodge! We shall be looking for the new members to toM us in our activities and soon they will become a part of their regular hobbies.

YOUTH CLUB FOR OUR YOUTH THREE QUESTIONS Leo Tolstoy once wrote a stirring story entitled, "The Three Questions," In substance, it is as follows: Once upon a time it occurred to a certain king that he could become the greatest monarch in the world if he could obtain the correct answers to these three questions: First, What is the most important thing in the world to do?

Second, who should be consulted about the action? and third, when should it begin?

Thereupon the king assembled the Wisest of his country and asked them his questions. The answers were conflicting, confusing, and useless. Later the king was infor:r.ed that a feeble old hermit who lived in a distant forest could answer any question, no matter how difficult it might be, but that he would see or serve only the common people. So the king disguised himself as a peasant, and guarded by a troop of cavalry , proceeded to the forest. After the guard had been concealed near the hermit's home, the disguised king, unattended, approached the old man, who was spading in his garden. The king said "I have come, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions," which were then stated just as they had been to those who failed to supply the desired information.

The hermit courteously listened, but without answering he continued to work with his spade. The old man's manifest physical weakness prompted the king to say, "Let me spade a while and you rest."

The hermit thanked the volunteer and sat down in the shade of the nearby tree.

The king spaded until he became tired.

Then he renewed his request. The hermit siiiply replied, "Let me spade, and you rest." But the king continued to spade until sunset and tehn said to the hermit, "If you can give me no answers to my questions, tell me so, and I will return to my home." At that moment a noise was heard in the distance and, as the king and the hermit turned in the direction from which, it came, they saw

Vt STN1K — WEST, TEXAS a bearded man running out of the forest.

His hands were pressed against his stomach and blood was gushing from beneath them. He fell unconscious at the feet of the king. The hermit and the king not only examined the man's wound but with a- towel the king brought from the hermit's cabin and with water he brought from a little stream, the wound was dressed, and the unconscious man was carried into the cabin and laid on the hermit's bead.

The king was so wearied by his unusual exertion that he lay down on the floor and immediately went to sleep, and

Wednesday, December 3, 1958 did not awaken until the following morning. The first thing he noticed in his strange surroundings was the wounded man still lying on the bed, now conscious, and intently gazing at the monarch. The man said, "I beg your majesty to forgive me." The king said, "I do not know you and I have nothing to forgive." the other replied, "You do not know me, but I know you. I am that enemy of yours who swore he would kill you because you had executed his brother and seized his property. I learned that you were coming to see the hermit.

I followed you for the purpose of taking

I escaped from your soldiers, but I would have bled to 'death if it had not been for your service. If I live and you wish, I will serve as your most faithful subject to the end of my days, and will bid my sons to follow my example. Again I beg you to forgive me."

The king gladly complied with the wounded man's request and not only forgave him but promised to send his own physician to the cabin to restore his former enemy to health.

The king then returned to the garden and found the hermit who was down on his knees, sowing seed in the ground that the king had spaded for him the evening before. The king said, "For the last time, I pray you oh wise n-van, to answer my three questions." The hermit replied, "They have all been answered."

"How have they been answered?" asked the king. The hermit said, "Do you not see that if you had not pitied my weakness yesterday, and had not helped me dig the garden the bearded man would probably have killed you? A little later, if you had not helped dress the injured man's wounds, he would have bled to death. In the humanitarian service you rendered the wounded man and me is the answer to your first question.

The gratest thing in the world to do is to serve God's needy children.

"It was not necessary for you to consult anyone about aiding me or the wounded man. Your conscience — the spark of divinity within your breast— told you what you should do, and you did it So the person' to consult about any important enteiprise will always be your better self, and if you follow that better self's advice you will never go astray. This is the answer to your second question.

"When 'you saw that T. was too weak to continue my work you knew that the most important time to help me was the moment when I needed you. Afterward, when the bearded man fell at your feet, you knew that the most important time was the instant in which it became possible for you to save his life. Remember that there is only one time that is important. That time is now, because the present is the only time that anyone can call his own. Thus your third question is answered. ► •

TRAFFIC LAW KNOWLEDGE SAVES LIVES AND MONEY In the midst of the annual series of football weekends, the thoughts of many Texans are turning toward traffic safety. There can be no doubt that a ,better acquaintance among drivers with the "rules of the road" and other traffic safety regulations could greatly reduce the death toll of our highways.

To obtain correct and authoritative information about driving is a simple matter. A letter or postcard to the Department of Public Safety, Driver's License Division, Austin, Texas, will bring an official publication, the "Texas Driving Handbook, to anyone who requests it.

Aside from considerations of personal safety, proper driving habits and observance of traffic laws will help prevent financial loss. This is true in spite of the fact that most people now carry lability insurance as a protection under the Texas Drivers Responsibility Act. Jury verdicts in personal injury cases tend to go higher and higher, and the likelihood of suffering an adverse iu.dgernent for an amount in excess of the limits of your liability policy is ever present.

Fault, or liability is determined by applying the law to the particular facts of an accident. In Texas the law is in several forms — the statutes as enacted by the Legislature, the ordances of each city and town, and the court decisions in cases similar to the one to be decided.

A negligent or intentional act is necessary in order to invose legal liability for damages. Where both parties to an accident are negligent, the court will very likely say that both are at fault and that each must pay for his own damages.

Strana 27 Two of the most important legal rules pertaining to accidents are those having to do with "proper look-out" and "proper control." Driving in a lawful manner and complying with all ordinary traffic rules is not always sufficient. In addition, the driver is expected by law to be alert to all that is happening around him.

If an accident should occur and the driver has not been alert — has failed to keep a proper look-out — he may be charged with "improper look-out" as a traffic violation and also held liable in damages to the other driver. The courts call a "proper look-out" such a look-out as a reasonable prudent driver would have kept under the same circumstances.

Of equal importance is the rule of "proper control." This rule means pretty much what those words imply — that the driver should have his car under such degree of control as to be ready for any emergencies as might arise. It may be braoched even though no violation of ordinary traffic is involved.

For instance, a driver may be complying with the legal speed limit but still be driving at a rate of speed which is unsafe under the existing circumstances.

Even though legal speed limits are expressed in terms of a certain number of miles per hour, conditions may arise which prevent the driver from maintaining "proper control" of his automobile at that speed. On a rainy day on a slick street or highway, or in heavy traffic, the reasonably prudent driver will know that he should reduce his speed considerably below the legal maximum.

• • THINK BEFORE YOU SIGN Whenever you are asked to sign sa.rtething, your signature should be a warning signal that in some way you may become legally obligated by what you sign.

Usually you are asked to sign Something as a result of a business transaction, such as a contract, a receipt, an order, a release, an option, a mortgage or a deed. For your own protection, you should clearly understand what you sign, why you are signing it, and what the consequences may be. It is rarely possible for a person who has signed a document to avoid its legal effects.

You can decrease your legal risks by always taking these precautions before you sign anything: Know what you are signing and what the document contains. Understand clearly what it means. Don't be confused by its title --- a "statement" may be a

Wednesday, December 3, 1958 and their country. Their success demonstrates to the less successful what can be accomplished, and are an encouragement for them to -do as well or better.

Each gain is shared with fellow gymnasts. Each victory at competitions brings joy not only to the individual but also to his respective Unit and our entire Sokol.

There is no room for personal selfishness in our ranks! The extreme rugged individualism which means unconcern for the less fortunate is definitely not a part of Sokol philosophy.

When You Get An Idea A good idea, like a new baby, deserves not only the fond administration of its parents but also his intelligent care if he expects it to amount to anything.

Many years ago Edward Filene, famous Boston merchant, and regarded as one of the smartest merchandisers in the world, stated that there are six things you should do when you get a good idea: 1. Make your plan in writing (Unless you can do that, it is likely not a plan you have formed but a rather nebulos idea.)

2. Compare it point by point with other methods which have been more or less successful.

3. Have your plan criticized by those whom it will affect and by anyone else who can do so intelligently. This is most important. Our plans are bound to be criticized, either before or after they are put into operation. If we have them criticized in advance the chances are that they will be more favorably received, and even defended as their own ideas by those upon whom they depend for success.

4. Put it into operation.

5. See that it keeps itself in operation until rescinded. Unless your plan keeps in operation automatically you have not organized it properly.

6. Keep the plan open to revision but 'do not allow it to be changed except after the most careful reasoning and examination of the results.

Answer: Yes, there is. Anyone whose original Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship has been lost or mutilated or destroyed, or anyone v hose name has been changed by order of a court or by marriage subsequent to the issuance of such certificate and who wishes a certificate in his new name, may make application for a new certificate on Form N-565.

Do you have a new baby at home, or are you getting ready to welcome one?

Solicitous as they are over the health and welfare of the newcomer, parents usually fail to take one critical precaution. They neglect to obtain information on the proper care of the infant's spine.

Every baby should have a spinal examination when it is between six and nine months old. Distortions which become more pronounced as the child grows older frequently originate during infancy. And, because of the soft and pliable nature of the bones at that age, deficiencies can be more effectively corrected.

Center of the nervous system, the spine controls the physical condition of the entire body. Some children are slow to walk, slow to talk, lack muscular coordination, because of back injuries.

Frequently, they improve quickly once treatment is begun.

Spinal distortion is something your child will never "grow out of," and misalignment of the vertebral column will never correct itself. Rather, it renders the victim incapable of fighting off other diseases and afflictions he might

Strana 29 otherwise be able to resist.

Your doctor of chiropractic stresses the importance of giving your baby an opportunity to start life with a sound body. It's the best gift he'll ever receive. ) • 44 LIFE INSURANCE NEW CAPITAL AIDS BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY Business and industry in the United States received the largest block of new capital made available from life insurance policyholder accumulations in the first three quarters of this year, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

Your doctor can advise you about improving your child's health habits to increase resistance to colds and other respiratory infections that keep so many children away from their classrooms.

Older children too, should have health examinations. The doctor's advice on physical development and emotional problems can ease many worries that beset adolescents. o In 1957 7,500 pedestrians were killed and more than 220,000 injured on the nation's streets and highways. What was your community's share of this toll? But more to the point what will your share be in 1958?

If you are not able to do anything else for your fraternity, please give your read Vestnik to some of your neighbors or friends to read. They may someday become members of our S.P.J.S.T. News and a cheerful message can bring worlds of joy to a friend, a lonely shut-in so please write to the Vestnik today.

I am sorry, the manager isn't in," said the clerk to the pompous individual who had strutted in. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No," snapped the visitor. "I never deal with underlings. I will wait until the manager returns."

About an hour later the pompus one became impatient. "How much longer do you suppose the manager will be?" he demanded.

"About two weeks," was the reply, "He just left on his vacation."
