U. S. Stamp To Masaryk The Czechoslovak National Council thanks the many organizations and individuals who have responded to the call by writing to the Assistant Postmaster Generay, Mr. L. Rohe. The following letter from the Minister of the Unitarian Church of Davenport, Iowa deserves to be quoted: "Being much interested in your "Champions of Liberty" series of stamps and having observed the omission to date of an issue bearing President Thomas Garrigue Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, I v:rite to suggest that this great liberating figure of our momentous days be considered by the Stamp Advisory Committee. His writings, statesmanship and human leverage among liberty-loving people in Central Europe gives President Masaryk a claim upon the enduring gratitude of all of us of this generation. I have lived considerably in Czechoslovakia, and am assured that President Masaryk is now the principal name for anti-communist Czechs and Slovaks to recall; and that the love which he evokes in scholars and peasants alike will serve as a rallying point in case the communist grip can be broken and democracy restored. In the meantime, letters bearing his face and

Let's Guard Our De rnocracv r® Taborsky Tells Educators

Wednesday, December 17, .1958 President Eduard Benes, in England.

He also served President Benes on a conference to Russia. Dr. Taborsky has written eight books, two of which are in the English language and numerous articles for magazines.

Fro y‘ his personal experiences , his knowledge of several languages, the Russian language being one of them, Dr. Taborsky took us behind the Iron Curtain for a bird's eye, view of the little man in Russia and communist Czechoslovakia.

He gave illustrations of the teaching methods used by the Russians to endoctrine the youth of that land, with the Communistic principles.

Starting with the government supported nursery attached to each factory where working mothers leave their children during working hours, when three years old the child becomes eligible for kindergarten where with songs, plays and games the youngster is inbued with the glories of that great land Russia, on the east as the sun rises, to the contrast of that capitalistic country on the west (America) as the sun sets, where terrible things happen to children.

This "brain washing" as Dr. Taborsky called it, continues throughout the, entire educational system in greater degree. Dr. Taborsky cited specific incidents in America's events that were distorted and played up as happening generally all over America.

In educational comparative analysis, Dr. Taborsky commented upon Amer ca's liberal education of its top professional men as compared to the specialists of Russia where, through aptitude tests the student is steered into the professions of which he gets good instruction but not an education. "This is the reason," cited Dr. Taborsky "we came to America. We didn't want our children to become mental invalids. I would not trade our education for theirs. Ours can stand some improvement, to be sure, but to specialize in one subject makes them mental invalids."

The Heart 0' Texas Study of American Heritage, represented by the public schools of Bell, Bosque, Falls, Hill, Lime stone, McLennan and Navarro Counties, presented the first in a series of lectures for the year 1958-59 in Waco Hall on Baylor University campus on December 9, 1958 at 7:30 p.m.

The purpose of this organization is a very worthy one, indeed. The educators who are participating in the Heart 0' Texas Study of American Heritage, believe that the spread of Communism can be checked through adequate instruction in our public schools. Through such instruction, a positive presentation of the merits of our system of government is to be waged. This is 'done with the conviction that such is necessary if liberty under God, is to survive. The purposes of the Heart 0' Texas Study, therefore are: 1. To develop among our youth a greater appreciation of the American Heritage, including the Constitution which is both a part of it and its greatest formal safeguard.

2. To sthrodate our teachers to recognize and meet their responsibility toward our youth and youth's understand ing of the great principles that undergird America.

3. To develop an American Heritage project in our schools so dynamic that it will cause the general public to intensify its action in prepetuating America's foundations of freedom.

Opening the program with the singing of America, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and the Invocation, the President of Baylor University Dr. W. R. White welcomed the group of educators to Waco Hall. Mr. F. M. Kruse, Staperintendent, West Public Schools, introduced the speaker of the evening, The different levels of employMent Dr. Edward Taborsky, professor of Government at the University of Texas, in and the living conditions that go with each level was illustrated. It seems that Austin, Texas. housing is a big problem for the workDr. Taborsky borsky graduated from the ing man and his working wife in Czech world famous Charles University in °Slovakia, The Russian .doctrine "all Prague, Czechoslovakia, later teaching men are equal" manifests itself only, in that city.

Wednesday, December 17, 1958 lower standard of living accomodation.

Where he previously had two bedrooms, kitchen and bath, he now has one bedroom, a kitchen and no bath. While rent is cheap, a good third of the take-home pay goes for food and if the wife didn't work, shoes and clothing for the children wouldn't be possible.

Insecurity of the worker and his family's well being with its anxieties and stresses makes life difficult. He has to "pass as a hypocrite to secure some minimum benefits for himself and his family. Social Parasites who sit as 'a Court can send one for two years at hard labor. Cold terror — one never knows when it will strike.

Brainwashing in Czechoslovakia is not meeting with the success intended for when the 14-15 year old goes to work in the factory (not all children are allowed to study further) and human nature being the same everywhere, the 15 year old is suddenly confronted with the fact in practice as to theories preached.

Dr. Taborsky pointed out that after 40 r-ars and Stalin's death, restrictions (ha ease up a bit. One is able to purchase meat, eggs and butter, etc. and he stated that the rate of living standards were improving in Czechoslovakia but that Mu. Khrushev's promise of "Paradise" by 1970 is problematical.

"That will create another problem" said Dr. Taborsky, "for when you reach a level where you can have some investments, a better apartment, you start getting bourgeoisie. It is essentially human nature for people to want better living and want to feel more secure, so that is the dilemna which confronts the Russian leaders."

V ESTISTIlt -- WEST, TEXAS sons that can bring us a message from their own personal observations as Dr. Taborsky brought us.

We would welcome another opportunity to hear Professor Taborsky.

Our "Bill of Rights " On December 15 we observed "Bill of Rights Day" throughout the ITniteld States. What does this important document mean to us?

The American "Bill of Rights," consisting of the first ten amendments to our federal constitution, all adopted at one time in 1791, specifies in some detail a number of basic civil rights of the individual citizen. Unaltered by subsequent amendments and jealously guarded by our courts, these privileges must still he respected by our governing bodies today.

Among the most familiar of our constitutional guarantees are those relating to freedom of religion, speech, and of the press. The same article protects the rights of peacable assembly and the privilege of petitioning the government for redress of grievances.

Another amendment secures our persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizures, and specifies that no warrants shall issue but upon proper cause, and unless supported by oath or affirmation.

Strana 17in Amendment VIII. Other articles insure the right to bear acmes and ban quartering of soldiers in private homes during peace time. . • Then, to make quite clear to our governing bodies the underlying intent of the preceding provisions, the Ninth Amendment states: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed ta deny or disparage others retained by the people."

The Tenth Amendment further emphasizes this basic theory by providing: "The powers not delegated to the United Mates by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.'

Thus, that fundamental philosophy expressed in the Declaration of Independence, that men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, has been carried forward into the highest law of our land.

There will be a lovely Christmas program and then a visit from Santa.

Everyone is cordially invited.

The next Sokol meeting will be Dec. 28th at 3 p.m. All members please come. as it is time to elect officers for next year and your votes and suggestions are needed and appreciated.

I want all of you who had such wonderful vacations this year to know I'm very sorry for not writing about them and maybe later on I will feel more up to it Erick and Stacy Koch and daughters made a wonderful trip to Europe.

Frankie and Josephine Prochaska and children, Mr. and Mrs. Vitek tad an enjoyable trip to California and Billy Jack and Judy Hattendorf made a fabulous trip to Florida and the Bahamas. If I left anyone out I'll make it up next time.

Let's all get together for the Christmas party and the New Year's dance on New Year's Eve. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

The Christmas program will be held on Saturday night instead of Sunday as usual, because other Christmas programs conflict with that date. Each lodge sister attending should bring plenty of food for her family and friends that they have invited. The food ran short last year.

WEST;TEXAS Dear Girls, I've a hunch this issue of the Vestnik will find you all in the big middle of the businesss of Christmas. With Christmas only a week away, there's not much time left for getting the packages mailed, especially if they're going out of state, then the cards addressed from your list, stamped and mailed, last minute purchases, wrapping and getting the Christmas tree up, what with a little po:;s.Uoiy _caking up a batch of .rid.y etc. All of this has to fit in with regul'ar house hold chores, so I no') you are busy. Anyway, the preps ttion is just as much fun, if not more, than the opening of gifts.

I, too, am in the swing and with my children having families of their own, so that my preparations are not as great

Strana 22 anymore, still your Editor and I plan to attend some of the lodge Christmas Parties close by to share the Yuletide pleasures amid friends and family.

Mrs. Joe Mazanec of West, passed on this Pecan Cake, which was the rage at the last Christmas Party of Lodge Jaromir at West, hoping that you too will like the cake and that you will try it for your Lodge Christmas Party.

Pecan Cake Break four eggs in a bowl; add one cup sugar, stir. Add one cup flour to which one teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt has been added. Stir until smooth and; then add one teaspoon of vanilla. To keep your fruit from sinking to the bottom, drench in flour onehalf pound dates cut up, one pound cherries cut in two, one pound pecans cut up, Add the yloured fruit to the batter. You will note that this does not call for any fat.

In a heavy aluminum loaf pan that has been well greased and floured or a cake pan pour your cake mixture—and bake slowly (275 degrees) for one hour of a bit longer, depending upon the size of your baking pan. Good eating to you!

VESTNiK ,---- WEST, TEXAS year; especially good health, because that is really the most important thing of all.

This is the time of year when all of us should take stock of our year's activity to determine whether or not we accomplished what we have set out to do at the beginning of the year.

There will probably be niany things that we were unable to bring to a satisfactory conclusion, but if we have honestly tried and failed because it was beyond our power, then we should not feel too bad about it, probably we expected to .do too much to start with. We have the satisfaction of an honest effort and experience which should be of help in the future, and of course we will have a chance to try again because as the saying .goes "all that's great and good is done just by persons trying." So at what, ever we may have failed, we will be more lucky next time. The thing is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; don't give up. Some of us are naturally more optimistic or pessimistic than others, but if we have done our best what difference does it make. I assn afraid that most of us don't appreciate all the good that comes our way, lots of time we don't realize how well off we are until we are confronted with some unfortunate happenings. If all the people would try to see only the good in others and be more tolerant to the weakness and mistakes of others this would be a real good place to live in. After all, are

Strata 23 we all not supposed to try to make : this world a better 'place in which to live.

Hi, to all you fellow teen-agers!

We here at Lodge 84 really took advantage of the season's cold weather December 6. A group of us went to the State Fah Ice Arena for an ice-skating party. For many it was a new and exciting experience. I can assure you that each of us had our share of tumbles, but they were all taken in good stride.

After having skated for a, good two hours, we were ready to stop for a bite to eat. Having satisfied our "hunger" most of us returned to the hall and made our way back to the warm comfort of our homes.

We want to extend a big "Thank You" to Mrs. Peter, our Youth Director, and to Mrs. Anton Janousek, the mother of our teen-a ge Queen i'aunita, for being our chaperones.

OUR SPORTS

By Otto Hosek NATURE'S CHRISTMAS GIFT Out of the still, chill quiet of December another Christmas is stealing across the woodlands, hills, plains and coasts of Texas. This is the season of ringing bells, joyful carols, and warm and friendly "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!" Oak smoke and the pungent smell of pine mingled with the aroma of roasting turkey. An awareness of good living brings to mind the gifts of our outdoors that Nature has provided for us to enjoy throughout the year. As the old year passes into the pages of history and a new year shines with happiness ai-d promise, we pause in our celebration to remember.

We live in an age of television, wonder drugs, automatic transmissions, and speed. We have bountiful times and look for even greater wealth. Yet to reach the goal we ■anticipate we must plan, for Nature did not intend for us to take, and give nothing in return. We cannot harvest our wildlife unwisely, and leave too few, or too many. We should protect the water we have from pollution, rather than seek new waters to supply the demand, and cease looking for new agricultural lands while the air is dusty with the blowing soil of land laid waste by man.

The very source of our wealth is our water, soil, minerals, plants, and wildlife. We must not feast — and leave famine for our children.

Those who look only for wealth, power and fame face a troubled new year. But for those who see beauty in a flight of wild mallirris. wealth in the majestic bearing of a strong buck deer, value in the blue water ripples of lake and stream, treasure in rich land, and promise in a seed, this year and those that follow, hold many blessings.

Outdoor Americans can find in nature the steadying factor in a modern world geared to the speed of a jet. For nature and its wild life have changed but little since the Christ Child was born long ago, in a manger in Bethlehem.

Lodge 6$ Burns Mortgage at Yule Party At the Annual Christmas Party held at Linden Hall, Lodge 66, Saturday December 13th the highlight of the program was the burning of their $18,000 martgage, with good old Saint Nick coming in second best.

While Brother Otto Hanus, holding the pan with the burning mortgage and other officers looking on, the audience stood applauding and calling, Congratulations! God Bless You! and That's the best looking fire I have ever seen!

Brother Otto Ha,nus then took the "mike" to say "all of this was accomplished by one thing — team work. Everything that has been done was done by working together and everything that will be done in the future will be done by team work."

This was the night for the little ones and the Hall was full of them, wideeyed with anticipation and when Santa was welcomed into the Hall, the little folks immediately surrounded him. It was a night for the grandparents, also.

They were all beaming at the extasy of the granclkids. Grandma Libbie Parma our newest Grandma was practicing up on holding her granddaughter while showing her off. She's a little beauty, Grandma!

A sumptious Christmas supper by the light of candles in wonderful fellowship started the Christmas Lodge Party season to a fine start.

The Role of Coo peration in American Capitalism People abroad are apt to think of the United Stater as an exclusively "capitalistic" nation. But American economic life actually contains many different forms of enterprises and associations.

There is, for example, a sizeable co-operative movement here and it plays a notable role.

Some thirteen million American families — about a quarter of the national total—participate in cooperatives. There are two broad groups — consumer cooperatives and producer eo-operatives Consumer co-operatives, sometimes cal-

Vt STNiK — WEST. TEXAS

led service co-operatives, represent the largest number of people. In these cooperatives, members band together to buy goods and services in the most economical way. with their needs.

Farmers, for instance, f writ co-operatives to purchase fertilizer, dairy feed or other supplies. Many co-operatives exist, particularly in rural areas, for distributing electric power to home and farm.

Retail grocery co-operatives and cooperatives selling gasoline to motorists exist in the cities as well as in rural regions, and usually are in direct competition with regular commercial establishments. Credit unions perform a number of banking functions for their members, again in competition with other forms of business.

The distinguishing features of the cooperative here — as in other countries — are that they are owned by their members; that profits, if any, go to these members; and that decisions are rriade on the basis of one member, one vote.

The second group of co-operatives —

Straw. 27 producer or marketing co-operatives — are primarily interested in selling goods or services produced by their members.

Fruit growers in the western states, for instance, have a number of cannery cooperatives of this kind. Their products are sold in groceries and supermarkets in competition with the products of stockholder-owned corporations.

Thus the pattern of business life in the United States is a varied one — with a place in it for both consumer and producer co-operatives. And besides cooperatives, there are business and loan associations, mutual insurance companies f,raternal benefit organizations and other member-owned and operated enterprises.

Cooperatives play . p„ significant role in the national economy of many countries overseas. Our friends and relatives abroad would be interested to know we have our cooperatives too. Our letters to them might point out that "capitalistic" America does not reject non-capitalistic enterprise. Rather, it lets the two forms of business enterprise coin-

Education Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is not teaching the youth the shapes of letters and the tricks of numbers, and then leaving them to turn their arithmetic to roguery, and their literature to lust. It means on the contrary, training them into the perfect exercises and kingly continuance of their bodies and souls. It is a painful and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning.
