FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and loo the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

How Does It Feel To Be A Country Editor?

The writer has often been asked what kind of a man is the typical country editor. The most customary answer to this question would be that the country editor cannot be well classified because he does not fall in any of the existing group patterns.

You may call him, in a catagory of stubborn American. We do not contend that all the country editors are alike.

There are radical editors, conservative editors and crackpots. There are about 6000 men and women that edit the different small town publications.

The majority of the editors in our section of the country are alike since we know that before any election the majority of the country editors are likely to vote alike. In general, their roots are firmly embeded in the ideals of the America of the past, and such words as independent and self reliant, are the terms the country editor believes in, and he resists all movements where in certain social groups may be benefited at the expense of the freedom of

others. The country editor has accepted Social Security reluctantly and Federal Housing programs are the types of social legislation which generally is not favored wry much by the country editor. In a special poll on education, the editors made it clear that they thought individual communities were capable of dealing with school construction without federal and that our cities should take care of their own school problems, since government aids lead to govornment control.

The country editor firmly believes that we must stop communist aggression but he disapproves of "handouts" that run in the billions and tax our communities to the limit.

The majority of our country editors, though they live among farming areas, and understand, farm problems, do mot favor government aid to farmers.

The country editor also would like to see the Income Tax Laws rewritten and simplified. He also favors an increase in personal exemption. All the labor unions would have a hard time if the country editors were doing all the voting as only 12 per cent of them favor the increase in the minimum wage but 68 per cent of them favor outlawing of strikes in industries. Big government has always been opposed by the coutry editors and GO per cent of the editors think that the Post Office should be on a payfor itself basis.

When the question of limiting the age at which a man could run for president was asked, 67 per cent of the country editors were opposed to that idea, citing that Churchill anti Baruch and Adenauer are examples of men that are well along in years and doing an outstanding job. Eighty-nine per cent of the editors blame parents for the had behavior of their children and most of their comments indicated that modern socialized life with drinking and restlessness and lack of old-fashioned principles were weekening the morale of our families.

In general, the country editor is a modest man but is aware of one thing very much and that is that the congress man from his district listens to shim and

reads also what he has to say and they visit him when they are at home, to find out what the people really think.

In other words, the country editor is really a big frog in a little puddle, anti in the countless problems that arise In rural towns and communities, his support is vital to their cause About 25 years ago when John H. Perry, president of the American press Association was asked "Who really runs the United States?" he replied: "The little country press, as they are the spokesmen for 60 million Americans who live and earn their living on the farms and in the villages and in our towns of 5,000 population or less."

The politician, if he is above "peanut" size, will tell you that he worries little about what the big city, papers say, but he pays more attention to a dozen little country weeklies in his home district, and he often pulls his desk down in Washington and takes the next train to see what they are doing in his little country town. This appraisal still holds good today. ) oh ( Letter writing is fun for you and exciting for our readers to read them.

To You And You a OU In fact, to all of you who have made our Vestnik (Herald) sought reading by our membership all over the State as well as co atinental United States and overecas — Thanks!

Your letters from the exotic isle of Hawaii, Guam, Virgin Islands, Newfoundland, from Germany, Japan, Phil ipp/nos, etc. have taken us to you for tiny trips through our fraternal weekly into your midst to experience and view the things of interest. It brought you back to us as we last remembered you, knowing that we would all keep in touch through the medium of our Vestnik.

The• Vestnik has cheered the shutins at , home as well as the Institutions for Convalescing, and it has cheered the farm membership locked in due to illness or bad roads. Everytime some in North Texas had a visit from the stork relatives in East, South and West Texas were delighted to read about it. For every wedding, Anniversary, Family Reunion, our Lodge Meetings, District Meetings, commemorative occasions — all of this was avidly followed by the kin in far flung corners of our globe.

It is humanly impossible to thank each of you individually for there have been so many, many, contributors, so the lllciitor lakes this means to thank each and everyone of you who took time out to give a little of yourself for the other readers through the Vestnik, and we ask your continued support in the corning year.

Conductor: "Either end, the ear stops at each end."

A mother and her yOung son were shopping at the supermarket. The young boy picked up a package and brought it over to her. • "Oh, no, honey," the mother cried.

Christmas With Linden I 1 And yeT prouts The Annual Christmas Party and supper was held in the warm and spacious Linden Hall, Saturday evening, Dec. 13, to a fine crowd of members and guests in spite of the biting cold that had blown into Texas from the Northpole.

The Hall was beautifully decked out in evergreen, sparkling Christmas glitter, the columns looking like huge pepperment candy poles. It was very gay.

Complimenting the members on their decoration, they all were in accord that it was just as much fun "fixing up" the Hall in preparation of Christmas as was the party itself.

Everyone was so busy, and having such a. good time! A huge ceiling-high Christmas Tree stood at the foot to the right of the stage, all aglow. White covered tables arrayed in three rows down the length of the Hall were also trimmed with evergreen interspersed with ChriStmas Tree Decoration and red candles, ready for the sumptous buffet supper.

There was a long heavily laden table of a wide choice of meats, salads, vegetables, dips, chips, bread, cakes, pies and pastries and 'a l huge urn of fragrant and welcomed coffee. We sat down to break bread with our fellow brethren in the candle lite. Everyone did the food justice.

After the dishes were cleared, Linden Youth Director, good Sister Libbie Parma asked the chatting groups of members and guests about the Hall to be seated for the Youth Program given by the Linden Youth also known as "Linden's Sprouts."

Calling Lodge President Ed Mazanec and his lovely lady up front, the Sprouts and the Mother Lodge presented Brother Ed with a gift of appreciation for his retiring leadership in behalf of the Lodge and, to Sister Mazanec a gorgeous orchid corsage. Brother and Sister Ed. lVfazanec were two surprised people!

All visiting guests were introduced and made welcome.

Editor Hosek, speaking in English for the benefit of those who have become members in Linden's mass initiation a few weeks back said: "I am so proud of this Lodge because they have accomplished so much in such a short time. I respect their efforts. There wer just a small handful of members here several years ag e , in fact, they thought of disbanding this Lodge and now leek what they have acconiplished! I know, that not only myself, but the whole SPJST brotherhood is proud of you"

Strana 15 Brother Arnold Vrla also speaking in English said: "It is, indeed a pleasure to come here this evening. I had an invitation from your Youth Director, Sister Parma, and I am grateful and thank her for mailing it to us. That same evening we immediately made plans to be here with you good people i ids evening.

I read the letter to my children who asked: "Daddy, is Santa Glass going to be there?" Brother Vrla introduced two lovely children. "The weather being bad, we put sleds under our Chevrolet and came, he said. It is nice to be here, thank you for your hospitality, it was wonderful, and we have a big evening to look forward to.I want to congratulate you and wish everyone of you a Merry and Healthy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

Then followed the Youth. Program. To say the children performed well would be true, but justice wouldn't be done.

They tried "extra special" to make their program liked.

The first number "Welcome" found the children dressed in forest green green shorts, white tops and a long pointed cap and sleigh bell trimmings that jingled as they walked. Large letters on their chest "Welcome" was spe17led out and well said in verse.

Frances Miller was the "W", Beverly Gajdosek was the "E", Kathis Stanislav was "L", Margaret Narovee was "C", Ida;; Jo Koen was "0", Helen Kolenovsky igaSi7.1 the "M", and Linda Chudej was the "E".

WHEN CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS USE THIS COUPON Supreme Lodge, S.P.J.S.T. Box 400, Temple, Texas am askin g you to ehanea. my address ,q of The Herald (Vestnik) as follows: Iy old address:

Signature

Strana le Two tiny dwarfs in like costume, Kathie Moore and Kathie Mazanec were supposed to say "Merry Christmas Every body". They were caught being coached by their kin, in the locker room. Whether or not they said their part, was lost in the restlessness of the small fry up front, but they sure were cute.

The second number, Christmas Carols, a lovely number, found the eleven to nineteen year group of thereabouts, costumed in white choir robes. They were: Hattie Matus, Norma Traywick, Mary Nell Norovec, Mary Sue Moore, Zebra Spence, Matilda Spence and Linda West.

They were accompanied on the piano by our reporter, La. Nell Ceska.

The third number was an accordion solo by nine year olld Helen Kolenovsky.

She played Silent Night and Jingle Bells on her small accordion. Helen has been taking lesons for only a short time but has made great strides in her playing.

She is also the little correspondent who contributes regularly to our Vestnik's Youth Club Section from Lodge 66.

Number four was another lovely rendition, "Silver Bells" by Sisters Margie, Mary Ann and Hattie Matus. These girls have beautiful harmony and enrich any program on which they appear.

The fifth number was a piano solo, "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful" by Hattie Mattis.

Number Six was a recitation "To Santa Claus" by husky Skipper Spence. He was dressed in black tails and top hat and spoke beautifully into the microphone. Skipper is the grandson of Sister and Brother Otto Hanus. Well done, Ship!

Number Seven was a combination of three electric guitars. Two of them were steel guitars. These Teenage boys are the latest addition to the Linden membership. They are Billie, Eddie and Douglas Young. They played Jingle Bells, White Christmas, and one boy, Douglas, I believe, sang a song to the accompaniment of the other two guitars. One would not suppose that three guitars could make much music, but these boys did. They had some arrangement, one playing solo, the second guitar the second voice and the third the bass fillin. Their rhythmnic swing would make even Ricky Nelson envious.

V f:S TNIK — WEST,. TEXAS They were goad children but this was their night!

The ninth number was the Burning of the Mortgage with the past and presently elected officers participating, brothers Anton and Ed Mazanec.

As Brother Otto Hanus held the pan with the flaming piece of paper the crowd stood cheering and called: Congratulations, God Bless you, and That's the prettiest fire I ever saw. Everyone was beaming as an $18,000 debt was written off by these busy people. It rep resented courage of heart to go into debt, fortitude to see it through, though it meant hours, days, weeks of personal effore of many in the lodge activities. It meant that one donated food, time, material whatever needed, if necessary, that one would buy back the food brought in the form of a supper, and most important that no one received any pay for his or her share of the work, that everyone was indulgent to the short comings of his fellowman and tolerant and friendly. Here is a lesson in unselfishness, Brotherhood and Teamwork.

Everything that has been done was done working together and everything that will be done in the future will be — Teamwork — working together and we add, by friendleness and harmony. Not any one individual took credit over the next individual in this achievement!

Sister Libbie Parma folowed with the announcement of the "winners" in the Letter To Santa Claus" contest ad the awardig of the respective prizes.

Reading each winner's letter, she presented the winner to the crowd and presented him or her with the prize.

First Place in the "six to ten" year group went to Jerry Holik, who received a pair of much dreamed of skates.

The Second Place went to Mary Frances Miller.

The Third Place was won by Ira Jo Koen.

In the "eleven to nineteen" year group Norma Traywick won First Place; Mary Sue Moore the Second Place; •and Mary Nell Narovec the Third Place.

All of the letters in essence asked Old Saint Nick not to forget those who were less fortunate than the writers themselves. They asked that their families be remembered with the Christmas blessings, for the love and in the name The eighth number a "Farewell" of Christ whose birth we are all observpoem by Frances Miller was delivered ing. sp lendidly. All the time the small fry up front were squirming and screwing Brother Arnold Vrla brought "Greetabout, in their seats, trying to be po- ings and wishes for a Merry Christmas lite, but impatient, nevertheless. In the from Brother Joe B. Hejny, Director of back of their little heads were mother's the Youth Program from the ,Supreme admanishion from home, we are sure. Lodge level, who was unable to attend.

Wednesday, December 24, 1958 Then followed a songfest, lead by Sister Barbara Stanislav, with the singing of Christmas Carols and suddenly she swung into "Here Comei, Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus" and the door burst open with Santa waving to everyone. In unison the littleones rushed him. Joyous bedlam followed. They clamored over him, and in childlike wonderment told him what lay 'deep in their hearts that Christmas. He took each little cherub into his big bear arms to nuzzle him or her and to ask them to be good children. The less timid ones lead the more timid by the hand to meet him. The bold ones, like one little man informed him that he brought an "exchange gift" but would like to get it back and would Santa be sure and give it• to him when the presents were being handed out. He liked his gift best. When the plastic bags of fruit, candy and nuts were distributed among the tiny ones, each then remembered Mother, came rushing up to shaw what they had received. With a sucker popped into their mouths they returned to Santa for further loot.

Needless to say, parents and grandparents alike, relived Christmas in their little ones. The gift exchange followed.

The tiny ones first, tearing impatiently at their wrapped gift to see what it was.

Then the teenagers more decorously accepting, their •gifts and then the ladies and gentlemen. Specially wrapped gifts were then delivered to the proper addresses and everyone settled down to a game of "Bingo" with additional nice prizes, or visiteing and chatting with those not engaged in Bingo. Everyone was happy in the warmth of the fellowship andr wonderful Spirit of Christmas.

The Editor and wife thank Linden Hall for their invitation to share Christmas with them, and our wish for all of you is continued harmonious work in your lodge in true brotherhood. Without fanfare you have shown the brotherhood that working in accord is the only way to success. You all have done good, so please keep it up. We both know that any further expansion which your Lodge may undertake with its encumbered debt will be as successfully and courageously met as was the culmination with the burning of this Mortgage at your Christmas Party. Gold be with all of you!

Always your friend, and admirer, The Editor. ° Money may talk, but the amount most of us handle barely speaks above a whisper.

Inspired by one of our Member's letters It is a good thing to observe Christmas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds a man to set his own little watch now and then, by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time.

But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas Day, and that is., keeping Christmas.

Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to re member what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duty in the foreground to see that your fellow-men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that is probably the only good reason for your existance, not what you are going'to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness —are you willing to do these things for a day?

Then you can keep Christmas.

Santa ii$i s Jarornir No 54 Good Old Sant Nick visited with the members and a hall full of their children and grandchildren, Tuesday night, December 16, at their spacious lodge hall.

A short children's program preceded Santa's entrance, with the school set of Jaromir giving us their Christmas poems in. English as well as in Czech.

Santa, hale and harty in his red suit with white trim burst into the door, to the delight of the expectant children. He questioned the wee ones on their behavior and while going from one child to another, into the back door slinked the "devil." He must have come directly from Czechoslovakia where they still visit children to find out who has been naughty.

Piercing screams of delight from the larger youngsters penetrated the hall rafters, while the tiny ones clung close to Mother.

Dressed in black from head to toe, snagie-toothed and blowing a whistle and clanking a bell, Mr. Mefisto questioned the children on their behavior. It was a riot.

With the distribution of gifts and bags of fruit and candy for the little ones, Chili-dogs and drinks were served the crowd gathered there for an evening of fellowship. It was a very nice Christmas Party.

An Interesting Description The past Sunday the 14th, marked the (day of the anniversary of the death of George Washington who died in the year 1799.

It has been our good fortune to run across an article describing the burial from the "Uster County Gazette" published January the 4, 1800 in Kingston N.Y. This should prove very interesting to our readers. Especially interesting to ourreaders will be the style of writing at that time. May I suggest to our youth that they clip this out and put it in their history book. Some day their children will enjoy reading it just as you did. A committee was appointed by the House and the Senate to plan suitable ceremonies in paying homage to General George Washington.

The then President, John Adams, received the following: "The Senate of the United States, respectfully takes leave, sir, to express to you their deep regret for the loss their country has sustained in the death of General George Washington. This event so distressing to all our fellow citizens must be pecularly heavy to you, who have long been associated with him in deeds of patriotism.

Permit us, sir, to mingle our tears with yours; on this, occasion it is mainly to weep. To lose such a man at such a crisis, is no common calamity, our country mourns her Father. The Almighty Disposer of human events has taken from us our greatest benefactor and ornament."

Sports Column

DALLAS, TEXAS To our readers and fellow sportsmen, bunters and gun hobbyists: First, many thanks for your calls and letters in response to my first "Hunters and Sportsmen" column in the Vestnik and I assure you that it is gratifying to know that there are many who like to read this type of reporting on hunting, game and other phases of outdoor life, travels etc. As I promised in my last column, I would like to tell you about our recent deer and turkey hunt in the Hill Country of Texas.

As all hunts, naturally there are prep arations which are exciting, and the planning with companions is almost as thrilling as the actual hunt itself. All "dyed in the wool" deer hunters count the days before Nov. 15th in Texas, and now we had something added to look forward to. This year we were reasonably confident we would bag a nice turkey gobbler for our Thanksgiving table.

I have a ranch lease in Kerr County not far from Kerrville. Our luck has been wonderful every year and we are always glad to go back. This region is very scenic, consisting of small lakes, streams creeks, cliffs and dense thickets and all that makes good hunting. Even during the drought years their were numerous natural springs providing water for the deer and other wild life.

Most land is devoted to sheep and Angora goat ranching. The ranchers are mostly German, descendants of old German families that settled this part of the state many years ago. This generation is a great bunch of fellows and they always have been very hospitable. When you know them for several years you really begin to • know their ways and ap-

Wednesday, December 24, 1958 preciate their ranches and their families.

This also holds true in Fredericksburg and several other communities in those parts.

My rancher and I correspond during the year and that way I am posted on the conditions existing and believe me it gave me a thrill when he wrote that the turkeys were gaining ground and there was a good chance to get some .shooting this year. He also writes: "Ho.sek there are some big bucks in the north spread that are really raising a ruckus there by tearing up things and fighting the trees in that locality and stripping the bark in all directions. My Mexican hearders see these 'boys' ever so often, also their large hoof prints in the soft creek drifts."

Last year his letter read about the same so I waited one old buck out and put a .30 caliber slug through his neck, down he went like a ton of bricks, he was a magnificent specimen — eight points, but what a spread! Nineteen inches across and plenty of weight. It took all "Pedro" and I had to drag him from the thicket and load him in the ranch pickup. Next day I was rewarded with another smaller eight pointer.

When hunting in Texas one can make it a little easier if a camp or tourist court is not too far away from your hunting grounds, as the living, cooking and other chores are greatly reduced and also for better order, rest and sleeping accommodations. Believe me, we had ours the hard way too, tents, bed rolls, canned food, bad water, gas stoves, lanterns, and sharing our camp with armadillos, coons, owls, cats and other creatures. Don't misunderstand we're not getting soft, just more practical as one learns from experience the hard way.

In the season of 1956, my friend and hunting partner, Jerry Stransky, made the hunt with me and we had a grand outing as this was Jerry's first deer hunt.

He sure proved good hunting techniques pay off handisomely by nailing an enormous eleven pointer and one eight. Stransky is a polished sharpshooter and marksman, be it with rifle, pistol or a shotgun in upland or bird hunting. A great companion I must say, and a true sportsman.

Last year, 1957 season, my friend and co-worker, Joe 3. Godbey and my brother Walter took to the woods again and had a wonderful time. For a full week of good hunting and left camp with our limits of deer and black bass. Three eight pointers and one six. Walter is the champion fisherman in our group as he landed all those beauties almost a stones throw from our camp in a spring fed

VESTN/K — WEST, TEXAS lake. Our camp and the whole trip was a great success and a fond memory.

Nova 15, 1958, Joe J. and I finally departed for our camp and Kerrville after a hearty breakfast and as you know the trip is pleasant and conversation naturally is planning strategy, guns, the anticipation and final results? Our two wheel trailer is humming behind the car, yes, we find this vehicle is a great help on such a trip. I have tried several ways — 1/2-ton pickup, carrying luggage rack on top, and loading the car itself.

The trailer seems the best as it tracks nicely, permits the car to be free of gear the luggage therefore giving comfort to both driver and passengers and above all you have adequate room for your game. The quickest and surest way to spoil venison is to lash it to your overheated hood on your auto or the fenders,.

The autumn scenery is lovely to view as nature, changes color for rest and beauty and miles click by on the speedometer before you know, here we are: To the ranch and greetings are in order after a year's absence from the ranch, Ihis family and all the hands, "Pedro" and the sheep dogs. (Pedro is my No. 1 hand, around the ranch) now I see he as a twinkle in those brown eyes as he is already eager to talk of the "beeg ones" in the thickets, this will wait till evening, first we have to check if our cabin is waiting, unload, unhitch and freshen up a bit for the evening at the ranch house. We have a great time and hear what transpired during the year and off to bed because we have to be sharp tomorrow is "it."

The weather is warm ,and somehow gives me the doubts — well maybe it will turn cooler by morning. Turn the radio to San Antonio station to get the weather report — warm possible showers Oh, we will try it anyway here's hoping —good night!

There's the alarm! We wolf down some breakfast and step outside and just as I thought miserably warm and cloudy, well let's try it.

The trails are cold and signs nil, even the squirrels seem to lack the pep and bounce in their trips for acorns and other food. This was almost a grand flop, except for sounds of turkey, but not a sight of one although I located tracks in the wet soil along the creek banks and fresh ,droppings. Well tomorrow may be.

That evening after supper, new plans in the making — our decision to take two rifles each, big bore for deer, and .22 autos. for turkey on our shoulders with slings. These 22 rifles stop the largest toms without excess mutilation of the meat at moderate range. Thanks

Strana 19 the weather turned cooler, and the radio gives a favorable report.

That noon we came in with four fine gobblers and Joe also had a nine point buck. I just couldn't grow any antlers on all the does and fawns I saw.

But those turkeys boosted my morale )8 per cent. I could see one in the roaster tone brown and the other in the pit smoking with the flavor of 'hickory. Boy what a treat when you earn those sly birds the hard way!

As you turkey hunters know, these rascals sure abide by the rules of survival and the slightest strange movement or sound will spook them instantly. My ticket is a telescope sighted rifle with hollow point bullets for instant expansion and head shots. Solo hunting is my choice. In that manner you choose your stand, certain type cover, and position you think will bring likely results.

As for turkey calls prefer not to use one as most of us agree it requires expert handling and lots of experience in. the field, to sound properly and "make talk like a turkey."

Patience and lots of luck figure a great deal to a successful deer and turkey hunt as one has to wait them out, not to mention good equipment and proper loads, and too we have the weather to reckon with. In the two following days we both had our deer and turkeys in lockers at Kerrville enjoying the rea-minder of the week taking movies, color slides, eating good (our cooking) good coffee and just plain and fancy loafing at the ranch.

All's well and it ended well, so now on our way back home for the weekend with our wives, families and friends and congratulations and new fresh stories about our experiences.

Fellows, they are fat as butter balls and the big ones are out on cold days.

Turkeys? Be quiet and careful — Hoping the Patron Saint of all Nimrods will help you too.

Lots of luck and Season's Greetings to all!

Yours, truly, Otto L. Hosek • .) • Where, Oh Where

The father decided to have a serious talk with young Jimmy, who was inclined to be light-hearted and irresponsible.

"Jimmy, you are getting to be a big boy and you ought to take things more seriously. Just think — if I died suddenly where would you be?"

Dear Sisters and Brothers: Another year has nearly gone by and it has been the custom for many centuries for millions of people to pause and to celebrate Christmas.

Gifts and greetings will be exchanged between loved ones. Hearts will be light • and everyone will be gay.

The faces of little children will light up with joyful anticipation of Santa Claus. A joy which is to be shared by devoted parents and doting grandparents.

And then this Christmas Spirit and carefree happiness will quickly slip away only to be replaced by the busyness of our every day lives.

The word "Christmas" to me means "Giving". I mean giving of ourselves — of love, brotherhood, and understanding to our fellow beings.

We need to give and to receive these things as surely as we need food, clothing and shelter. Without them life would have little meaning.

What better time than Christmas gives us a chance to "Give" these things. And think — what a wonderful thing it would be if we would not let the busyness of our everyday lives interfere with this practice of Giving throughdut the year.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year.

Fraternally, A. M. Vrla, District III Organizer • e7a • A MESSAGE TO ALL DISTRICT FIVE ORGANIZERS As all of you know by the report in our Vestnik, that District 5 is very much behind in our contest and also quota and I am pleading with you to get out and make up for lost time before the end of this year.

District III quota is $650,000.00 I would like to take this means to congratulate all organizers of District III for doing a good: job thus far.

District III still needs quite a bit of insurance to be sold between now and Dec. 31, 1958 in order to make its quota for this year.

I am asking each member of your lodge to check his or her needs for additional protection and also to please help your organizers with prospects, that we may go over the top in District III. Lets all of us put our shoulders to the wheel for one cause; to work in harmony with our organizers, officers and members as one team, to make our quota for 1958.

Thanking you in advance for cooperation, I remain with kindest personal regards, Fraternally, A. M.

Sprinkle generously with kindness, Add plenty of faith and mix well, Spread over a period of a lifetime And serve everybody you meet.

We live in a valley with towering mountains all around us and have only two-and-a-half miles to the beautiful Pacific Oeean.

You both and I have seen tremendous progress in the growth and fame of our beloved ,SPJST and of our Vestnik (Herald.)

Let us hope that in the future this growth will be even greater as the result of our ever increasing spirit of true brotherhood and sisterhood, as a result of our close cooperation and harmony in our wonderful organization.

We of our Youth Club hope to contribute our share to this progress.

May you and all of our readers have a Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Sincerely, Jerry Ann Urban, Lodge 84 Editor's Note: Thanks for this very nice letter, it is indeed appreciated.

SOME POINTERS How can you help to prevent loss of life and suffering this Christmas?

Here is what the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests: 1 Because portable heaters are often used during the winter months to provide added warmth with proper regard to the care necessary for their safe use, are as follows: Keep portable heaters clean and in good condition.

Set heaters level, out of the line of traffic and away from combustibles such as curtains, bedding, etc.

Avoid using electric portable heaters in the bathroom. Be sure every gas heater is vented to the outdoors, unless clearly labeled that it is unnecessary.

Delegate the job of filling and cleaning the oil heater to a responsible Member of the family. Instruct that person to wipe up spilled oil immediately.

Never fill or carry an oil heater while it is lighted.

Keep a door or window slightly open in any room where a gas or oil heater is in use.
