Znam sve sestry a bratti v MAn a vim neco o torn jak na g tad je veden?

Jak dlouho mute milj tad prospivat, kdy vetg ina elenu jako ja, se budou pra, el spolkove vyhybat?

A prave na, to poukazovali Tomas Jefferson, kdyg, tvrdil, ze v politicks strane skrYva se nejlepk nadeje, ze skupiny s odliSnYini zajmy mobou dospeti k rozumnemu kompromisu. Jefferson vytvofil prvni takoveto "rozStepeni" svou Listinou pray, ktera se po gdeji stain easti astavy.

Jeffersonovou filosofii bylo, ze "fide jsou ptirozene rozdeleni na dve strany — ty, kteri se lidu boji a nedtivetuji mu, a ty, kteri se s .nim ztotoUriuji". Pc.)clle jeho slov "existuji tyto dve strany v katcle zenai" Federalists byli vSak jineho mineni, ovlivriovaneho hlavne evropskYmi monarchierni. Tato sku pina Amerieanii stala za Alexandrem Hamiltenem, ktery prohlakval toto• "V.Sechny oboe deli se na nekolik bid a na mnohe lidi. Prvni jsou bohati a urozeni. Druzi -- masa ?Wu zridka rozhoduji a ureuji pravo." Tato ruznost v Ideologil vedla k protifederalis tickernu hnuti, jehoU, vYsledkem byla sera na, oznaeena Jeffersonem za "republikanskou". Jefferson jakoby se timto poj menovanim snail naznaeiti, ze soupeti jeho strany, federalists, jseu "nerepublikani". Z Jeffersonovy strany vyvinula se easem strana demokraijeka, jeji g hla sanou zasaclou byla "rovna prava pro v:§e zvlaStni privilegie pro nikoho " chny Obdobi, kdy demokratieka strana Padla, byla obyeetne provazena oclklorem od JeffersonovVch zasad.

Demokraticka strana se s yYm prograniem skoro vtcly ztotctriovala se zajrny farmafti a delnikti. Andrew Jackson, sedink president, a pti torn prvni, kterY vygel jako syn chude rodiny opravdu z lidu, oznaeoval se za "hlava skromnejgich elent speleenosti, farmaffn mechani WI a delnikti, ktefi nemaji ani easu, ani prostfedkin aby stfetili vlastni prava".

William Jennings Bryan, kterY kandidoval jako dernokrat ttikrate na presidenta, pravil toto: "Spalte sva mesta a ponechte na g e fanny, a vase meta vyrostou opet jako zazrakem. Zniete v gak nage farmy trava poroste na ulicich katde ho mesta."

Zeny ziskaly hiasovaci pra y° za presidentskeho terminu Woodrow Wilsona, demokrata. Za vedeni jineho demokratickeho presidenta, Franklin D. Roosevelta, dostalo delnictvo pine pros° organisce.

Pro nas ma dues velkY yYznam tradiern postoj demokraticke strany k Nejvyg gimu soudu SpojenSrch state. Jefferson kdysi oznaeil tento soud za "sappers and miners" itstavy.

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

Larger Families Dom mate The Rise of U. S. Population in Decade An insight into the extent that the spectacular population rise of recent years has been spurred by growth in family size is shown by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in data covering the changing composition of American families over the past decade.

Analysis of these figures reveal that families with two or more children under 18 living at borne made up more than four out of every five of the total increase in the nualber of families between the Spring of 1948 and March of this year. Families with three of more children showed a greater growth in both number and proportion during this period than all the other families put together. As a result of this trend, the larger family now represents an appreciable greater percentage of the nation's family structure than was the case a decade ago.

This development, with its inevitable increase in financial responsibility, has had n sig-nifictnt impact on the economy in the market for all kinds of pro-

Larger families have also undoubtedly affected spending patterns and brought shifts in demand as between various goods and services, with the effect of record high living costs an important factor in this respect.

The larger family has likewise emphasized the need for more saving and more protection for the breadwinner to meet the increased family responsibility.

This is particularly evident in the big growth of life insurance ownership in recent years. Life insurance protection in force now exceeds $490 billions, nearly two and one-half times the total outstanding a decade ago, )

Farmers' Tax Guide To Be Available Soon The popular Farmer's Tax guide, informational booklet on form and ranch income tax matters, will be available in the near future. Printing, has been delayed due to changes made in the tax laws by Congress, points out C. H. Bates, extension farm management specialist.

Bates calls attention to several important changes which have been made in the• tax code. An additional 20 per cent first-year depreciation write-off is now allowed on new machinery and equipment with a limit of $10,000 set for such purchases on an individual return or $20,000 in the case of a joint return.

Attention Organizers Of District Seven Due to the great interest, ability and splendid cooperation of some organizers the organizational work in our district continues to flourish. How nice it would •be if all of then-, would work the same way, then to reach our quota would be no problem at all, I'm sure we could go a 'little over. The job ahead is vast, however, and only through never-ending efforts on the part of all of you, together with the support being performed by our local lodge members, shall all eligible nonmembers be made fully acquainted with the fine investment and protection features found in SPSJT policies. .Now, when we stand at the end of the year, let's have a look back to find out whether we have done our part, or not. Did we show great enough sense of duty, responsibility and obligation as members and first of all as organizers?

Did we try our best to contribute time and help to the effort of others o acquit ourselves well in the membership drive?

Everybody knows best his answer and will judge himself. Sisters and brothers, think about it, and should you not be quite satisfied, then do not droop your self head, you have a good chance to fullill your intentions to set yourself to Work and to strive for being the top organizer each month in the next year.

But start right now, act today — tomorrow may be too late.

In November we had the following top organizers: Sister W. J. Janca $8,000 Brother Charlie Holasek, $2000 Brother Frank C. Sacky, $2,000 Congratulations, sisters and brothers, thanks for your nice work. Who will be on top next month?

Best wishes for a happy and successful New Year to you and your families.

SOCIAL SECURITY Ever since the enactment of the original social security law, marriage or remarriage has often been a reason for ending social security benefit payments to dependents or survivors of insured worke r s. In many cases, it is still a cause of the terrniination of benefits. The law recently amended, however, removes some of the restrictions.

Under this change, a dependent's social security benefit payments will not o,top if he or she marries another per-

son who is also receiving social security payments. A woman receiving widow's benefits can therefore marry a person wbo, is getting dependent parent's benefits, or she can marry someone who is eligible for benefits as a dependent widower or as the disabled son or daughter of a retired or deceased worker.

What Has Happened In 1958 In making any Resolutions for the Coming Year, in business this is known as "Projections" one has to look back upon the accomplishments of the outgoing year in order to compare and set goals to which to strive.

One of the most historical, we think, is the official opening of the SPJST Rest Home, in Taylor, Texas a dream achieved by so much of our membership at the 17th Convention. The dedication ceremonies and officiel opening was a big day for all Texas Czechs!

Our Organizers early in the year 1958 set their goals "Double the Sales of last year," and the District Organizers were really busy with sales talks, schools and booster-shot meetings all through 1958. Victory celebrations for organizers in the Double Sales in '58.

Looking back at the long list of correspondents to our Vestnik, it is amazing at the variety of thought, lodge activity presented.

In January 1859, our Youth Leaders got The "go ahead" from Supreme Lodge Youth Director, Brother Joe B. Hejny land this Youth program has snow-balled all over Texa's into a great Youth Movement in which our youth has opened our eyes to their preceptivity of fraternalism and has instilled ivigor into 'many a slumbering lodge. Our Youth have proven to us that they can, and if met half Way, that they will shoulder lodge responsibilities. They are our pride, for in just one year's time they have made great strides in organization for a permament place in our Lodges.

Handicraft contests at our District Meetings in our Seven Districts have also become popular. A traveling group of the membership have visited them. all, created interest, created friendships, and brought all of the Districts into an Orbit of Activity for the benefit of our Order. It finally came to a point where one district didn't want to be outdone by any other and strived all the harder to Fall In, to everyone's joy at the success of the efforts. One for all and All for One! The Districts got busy with their spring District Meetings, where our Youth was encouraged to organize and become active. The talent shows as well as the Handicraft Contests were outstanding.

Folks from far and near poured their contributions of Love t o the Rest Home in Taylor, all through the year. The Taylor Lodge Praha sponsored a Ba-

zaar which proved Very successful, so did Dallas 84 for the Rest Home Benefitli. The HilljexEl Campo sponsored a bazaar and elaborate parade for the Rest Home Benefit, and enthusiasm continued, in many other Lodges.

The Women's Circles, Birthday Clubs, and Bingo Party get-togethers were k:1-,t before the eyes of the membership by the faithful sister reporters in their respective communities.

There was an All Day Youth Program in Ennis which District Ell's Youth outshown themselves in the Tai.: tests and Handicraft Contests as well as Dancing Contest. They were a delight to behold.

We also lost one •-d diecc Brother Frank Rod. We parteo with many of our beloved in our :ueinhr ship.

We welcomed many a citlie!: also.

We felt for those sick in our mkic • c r ie 3 with their grief, laughed witn the their joys, and through it all th-are was a warm current of harmony and brotherly love, man for mankind.

The Dramatic Hlahul of Houston with its group of enthusiasts kept the Czech Drama alive with their many successful performances.

New Insurance ending January 31. was $255.000 with 177 new members; and Polka Dance Ca l endar was kept full of places to go. Sdri — nd early summer saw the glad 4-*•of Family Reunions, there was a, fraternal seminar at the' Southern Methodist University for our Ogranizers, Brother Edward Sralla, becomes our new SPJST Director, replacing the late Brother Frank Rod, and the Daffodils opened Easter Egg Hunts all over our fraternal Lodge Hal!s were held. Many in our brotherhood were running for public office, some didn't make it, lots of them did, we visited New Tabor for a District Meeting, the Otto Stehliks had a Golden Anniversary, The District III Meeting in Fort Worth Lodge 82 welcomes brotherhood, then April Fool's Day, District II Meeting at Granger now a pleasant memory, Brother Joe Kalenda takes a bride and Arnold Vrla thanks Brother Joe B. Hejny for the nice brief case he received, Brother Ben Jarma promises to present a trophy to the Champion Ballthrower of the season, the Czech Department at the University of Texas holds its annual Majales, that was well attended and rendered a fine program.

The year 1958 heralded in the buying of a 1..c'rige Hall for La Parita, and the buying of a tract of land for a new lodge hail for lodge Jaro 130 `of Dallas.

It meant a new roof for this lodge, a

LODGE CULAK NO. 165 MOULTON, TEXAS (Delayed From Last Week) Dear Brothers and Sisters of all. Lodges, I will try to write a few hnes today to let you know how we are doing at Our local lodge. So we had our regular meeting }on December 14 — Sunday, and it was cold that day. Despite the severe cold and a Christmas propram and tree at the VFW Hall in Moulton our attendance was very satisfactory.

The lucky door prize winner was our re-elected president Lee. Jarosek.

The main topic was electing officers for the coming year 1959 and reviewing the outcome of the Nov. 7 picnic supper returns. The officers were re-elected the same, upon motion made by Mrs. Anna Geartner. They were all voted for unanimously by raising the right hand. They are: Pesident, Lee Jarosek, Vice-President, Emil Krejci; Second Vice-President Zat Johnson, Secretray-Treasurer, Adolf Wagner; Financial Secretary Jerome Vasek and Reporters for the Czech and English section Mrs. Bessie Fojt. The returns of the picnic supper were very satisfactory, as it was very cold that day and people left early at night for their homes. Our treasurer reports a nice sum of money on hand, and are planning to pay those shareholders, who will come first to call for their money. As many will be paid out as the the money will permit. So those interested in collecting may contact Adolf Wagner, Our Brother J. V. Havlik and his wife were also at the meeting, Bro- Havlik returned from the VA Hospital in Houston where he underwent a major operation. He is feeling well and we are glad he was able to come home and attend our meeting.

Dear Readers: Lodge Praha No. 29 of Taylor, Texas held its regular meeting Sunday, afternoon at two o'clock, but since we had our Christmas Dinner Party, the members came at 11:20 with their food still hot and we started to serve promptly at the noon hour.

It was such a cold day — in the upper twenties — but the sun was shining so we had a good attendance and the meal was simply delicious. However, we did miss Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kubala, since Sister Kubala is our official coffee maker. I tried to take your place, Sister Kubala, but somehow the coffee didn't taste quite as good as yours, and this is to inform you that we used the last pound of coffee.

We also missed our lodge president and family and hope you are all well again.

In the absence of our president Bro. Rueben Lesikar, the Vice-President BraFrank Pokorny opened the meeting.

Brother A. L. Boudny read the minutes and as I S9.t there listening to him read f'..om our last meeting, where we had voted to donate $25 for the Czech Student's Fund, I remembered that I forgot to report it. Then Brother Frank Hejl gave his Home Report and Brother Ben Mikolaj gave his Quarterly Report and Brother Edwin Kovar gave the report of the Property Committee.

Again, we have lost one brother to death. He was Brother Ed. Lubojakovsky and a moments standing silent prayer was given him in respectful memory.

We have four new members on our Waiting List.

The sum of $25 was voted for a Christmas Tree for the Rest Home with all the trimmings, and Sister Sophie Kovar and Sister Claudia Glover were appointed to get all the needed material to make a beautiful tree.

In our last Meeting there was some

Wednesday, December 31, 1958 misunderstanding about raising the president's and vice-president's salary..

The president's was raised from $2 to $10 per .rrionth and the vice-president's from $1 to $5 per month, but since they are paid quarterly; that is once every three months, some members thought that it meant that the president would get $10 every three months and the vice-president would get $5 every three months — so that is still unsettled business for our next meeting.

Brother Boudny made a short speech in which he urged all the members to start coming to our regular meetings, if they are interested in our on-coming Convention which will be held in 1960 — as you know you have to make at least six meetings before you are qualified for nomination as delegate to the Convention, so if you are interested you had better start coming. We will also have the installation of the officers at our next meeting.

After the meeting adjourned, we cooked up some fresh coffee and warmed up the left overs from dinner, but our poor kolaches sure took a beating, twice in succession we had toasted them — but they say that charcoal is good for the human, so we all had our share of it.

The brothers were true to their promise and washed all the dishes and still had time to play a few games of dominoes.

Happy New Year to all of you.

Your . reporter, Mrs. Frank Pokorny 0 4_ SEYMOUR, TEXAS (Delayed From Last Week) Dear Readers, Sam Houston Lodge' 73 held its meeting Dec. 7 at the Lodge Hall. The mmbars started gathering at 10:00 to prepare for the barbecue that was to be served at noon. We are so fortunate that all our members are so cooperative and that , is why our barbecues are always a success. The meat was furnished' by the Lodge, but it still :had to be prepared. This was 'done by three of our good members, Henry Hejl, Frank Simaichl and Ed Haisler. They got the ar(eat cooking at 9:00 in spite of the cold north wind, so it would be ready by noon. Boys it was simply delidious, we may call on you all again, or we may scout around and see if some of the other men can cook as good. Most all the ladies brought three covered dishes, so we had lots of good food to eat. In spite of the cold weather we had 83 people to attend our meeting. We were glad that Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kocurek brought with them their visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Balusek and son Emil Louis from Granger, Texas.

Wednesday, December 31, 19%8 Mrs. Ed Hajek clbnated the door prize and Joe IC-ocurek was the lucky person and he was thrilled to get the gift.

With 1958 almost behind you, with its many blessings, you shall start looking ahead. What lies ahead for you and your family in 1959; I hope everything nice.

Now is a good time, however to make a few resolutions for the coming year.

Make a list of them, searching yourself honestly. Some resolutions will be broken, but many will not and you and your family will be the better for them.

It will be a Step forward.

Make a resolution for yourself. Resolve that you will be more careful about your own looks for the family's sake.

Resolve to keep your hair groomed for a switch from a housedress to town clothes or party clothes is just a matter of minutes. You will agree that keeping one's hair in order is a good investment in time and money. Then too, it will lift your spirits.

Resolution No. 2 -- Resolve to use more diligence in caring for your hands, face and neck to keep the skin supple and lovely.

Resolution No. 3 — Resolve that you will take a walk each day for health's sake, to keep you trim and snappy and give your lungs a chance' for a little fresh air. Wrap up your youngsters and take a,; little walk with them. It's''wonderful!

Make a resolution to do, or, not to do something that will please the man in your house. He's pretty important in your family.

Then the both of you make a resolution for the children. Give them more of yourselves, be pals, confidenteS, work together. Think of their future, their education. Perhaps you could manage an educational policy for the older one this year? Build a dog house together, fix the fence, chicken coop, etc., together!

For the house, set your goal to buy or replace some worn item that is badly needed.

Strana 21 about this time for the year ahead, why shouldn't the homemaker. After all, "Home" is the biggest business in America. Without home, there would be no need to manufacture appliances and furnishings for the home, one of America's biggest industries.

also be published as it illustrates "the other side of the picture." — Editor.

Editor, The Caller: I read in the Caller, December 11, under the headline, "Monetary Yardstick Banded Misleading," also read the article in the December 1 Caller, under the heading "Czechs Set Goal of Upping Average Wage,' from Prague, Czechoslovakia.

I disagree with John Stasa (Dec. 11 in the Caller, or did Mr. Valcik of Houston write this article?) Mr. Stasa didn't inake a trip behind the "Iron Curtain," but Mr. Valcik made two and I was with him and 51 others when the firsttrip was made to Czechoslovakia on June 10, 1957. I'm sure that different people had different opinions of the situation in Europe. Of course, whenever an American tourist arrived, nothing was too good because it was the American dollar they were after.

The group that made the trip in a chartered plane were from every corner of Texas and consisted of retired farmers, housewives, a teacher, barber, building contractor and represented other occupations. Many of these were born in Czechoslovakia and were making their first trip to their homeland ,. From Corpus Christi, there were seven people that made this trip; Mr. and Mrs. Sten Stuntska, Mrs. Frank Zdansky, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Holasek (my parents), Mrs. Frank Veselka (my sister) and yours truly All of the 56 tourists were cordially welcomed at the airport and then taken by buses to a hotel in the heart of Prague. Everything was. perfect, nice rooms and good food served in the 'hotel dining room.

We were always ecorted by one of the men that were on the bus with us throughout this tour. We just didn't have any privacy. One never knew when one was being followed or by whom.

The Czech peOple were very anxious to talk with us about our way of living.

Several told me that there isn't any future and that they never know what the next day holds for them. There are so many other things they talked 'about, but I won't mention them here in the paper.

The article by Mr. Stasa also mentioned that the lowest wage for an unskilled worker was 500 to 600 crowns a month.

Now I'm wondering if a farmer is considered an unskilled laborer. My opinion is that a farmer is as skilled as any other businessman, lawyer of any other category.

I have to,. cousin in the province of Moravia, a farmer, and generations before him always farming and owning the

Wednesday, December 31, 1958 same plot of land that has been passed down from one generation to the next generation. While visiting in his home, July 3, 1957, it was announced on a loud speaker, located in the square, that the state is taking over his ?and and several other farms. How would you farmers feel if just like that, you would lose your arthly posession — your farm? No one in Czechoslovakia owns a business, the state owns it and the people only work.

Well, it has happened in Czechoslovakia and all the other countries behind the "Iron Curtain." While there, I made many new friends and was invited to their homes. A one-time jewlry store awner is now a laborer, a bakery owner is now ia worker in the bakery. The only thing the people are able to own is 3, house. The state doesn't care to own these because the up-keep is high so the people have a chance to own them.

Now at present my cousin and his wife earn 3 units a day, one unit is equal to 9 crowns. This is 27 crowns a day and 310 crowns a month. The couple have two children and his father lives with them. My uncle receives a pension of 280 crowns a" month. o many of you it ,rriay sound that they are rich, but they are not. While visiting in their home, the wife served us veal cutlets. here were nine of us (at this meal. But before we even came to visit them, they had to reserve this meat allotment three weeks ahead of our visit. All right, we had meat but pity the family because the next two and a half months they were not allowed to buy any.

The couple I mentioned earns 810 crowns a month but they have to feed 100 hoes that are the property of the state, this means that the family isn't allowed to butcher one for their meat supply. They also have poultry and cows, but they have a quota to meet so many eggs for the state. The adlk is taken to a milk depot, after it is skim med, then they are allowed to take some of it home.

On December 11, I received a letter from them and in it they mentioned that their son needs a pair of shoes, priced at 200 crowns. Then the state is asking 300 crowns for the boy to attend school. I'll quote a few prices that are paid for articles in Czechoslovakia Sugar — 50 cents a. pound; flour — 50 cents a pound; coffee (unroasted) $8 a. pound; cheese — $1.80 a pound; sardines (imported) — $1.20 a can; blouse —$10 and up; apartment range — $150; an auto — $28,000 etc. Toys are 'very high in price. One dollar is equivalent to 7.l5 ero'wns. Last year we receivreidi 21.40 crowns to the dollar, that is the limed-

can tourist. So imagine when a couple earns 810 crowns a month what they can buy? Only essentials.

Such a statement like the one about a worker in CZechoslo yakia is not misleading This article that I'm writing is wrat I saw and nay opinion. I don't say that $18 a month for unskilled average worker is correct, but how do we know if it is or not? I also agree that food, clothing, household appliances and autos are high in price.

Why do the Czech people and people of other countries all want to come to America? The first reason is freedom of democracy, which they now don't have, and then freedom of speech, which they also don't have. None in the group that made the trip, especially the ones that made the return trip, wish to make Czechoslovakia their home. They all said "America for me now and forever." I agree on this statement as I would not want to exchange my way of life for life behind the "Iron Curtain."

They were also reminded by the game and fish commission that time is growing short for shooting. Deer have been bigger, fatter and more numerous than usual, but the quail supply was called "spectacular" in many parts of the state, E. A.

Liberalized underwriting provisions based upon continued good experience, discounts for larger quantity purchases and the introduction of new policies to meet current economic conditions, will encourage what could be a record number of families to provide the protection commensurate with the better standard of living they have achieved.

The continuous flow of benefits to policy holders and their beneficiaries will be stepped up in 1959 with payments of about $8,000,000,000 representing the end result of earlier planning.

Increased ownership in 1959 will mean that a record unmber of premium dollars paid by American families from their insurance protection will be added to the investment capital aiding practically every type of business activity. This will open up new areas of economic development and increase home ownership by families through mortgages.

In the year ahead, many life insurance companies will extend their long range research and planning programs into operational areas which include agency, general marketing, office procedures, and investments. Also during the year, it is evident there will be increased training and planning for mane gernent succession.

We can look forward to a furthering of sound public relations concepts established at the top management level of an increasing number of life insurance !ompanies. Relating to q.very detail of company management, these concepts better prepare the life companies to meet the major social and economic changes that are forecast for the future. * 4•(

Why A Fraternal Society?

Membership in a fraternal benefit society makes it possible for the members to share experiences, all of which is not only interesting, but beneficial as well.

A few people, usually the leaders of any given community, are those who are able to learn and profit from the exp eriences of others, and the association in a mutual benefit society provides an excelent opportunity for one to learn and profit from the experiences of his neighbors. Actual experience is not what happens to a person, but rather what a person does with what happens to him or her. If the experience is pleasant, profitable and of benefit to others, it is well that it is repeated again and again.

Whereas, if the experience is unpleasant distasteful and detrimental, then it should be avoided not only by those who have had such experiences, but by those who have shared such experiences.

Perhaps some people join fraternal benefit societies for a selfish reason, that of deriving some personal benefit by reason of his membership in such an organization, and through his association with other members. It may be that John, a clothing merchant, might join a fraternal benefit society with a selfish motive of increasing his sales, and no doubt, he will, for it is a known fact that members of a fraternal organization tend to patronize the business and professions of other members.

Even though this appears to be a selfish motive and at first blush, might appear as a poor reason for joining a fraternal benefit society. Yet by further it might prove a very good reason by bettering the economic_ s of the e 11011, trail( e 2thcl professions. For inst,)n( o. C,snme that John, the clothing le e r( joins, {I. fraternal society in which Bill, the G /'o cerymccn, holds his 1 /Ibe3 hi Alld suppose as a result of Med as members of the etc:slop Society, Bill patronizes John's cl.dhtng e Gablishrnent and John pat roni/i s Bill's grocery store. Perhaps John has been Selling poor, shoddy clothing', whereas now he decides that he must shoot square with his fellow society members, and he begins selling ns quality clothing. On the other nand, Bill, the groceryman, would be embarrassed to short weight his fellow :ociety member, John, and he shoots square with the proper weights, meacures and better quality merchandise.

Hence the clothing and grocery business are improved in this particular corn-

WEST. TEXAS

munity, and all the members of the community will benefit in the improvement of merchandise and service.

Without question, a great number of people join fraternal benefit societies because they sincerely believe that the particular objective sought, that is, protection in the form of insurance coverage, a burial benefit, or some other type of service, can and will be provided at a cheaper rate than the commercial companies in the field, and certainly we all know that a fraternal benefit society will take a greater personal interest in the individual than will the big private corporation for the fraternal benefit society is known as the organization with a soul, and therein lies the difference.

There is magic in a fraternal society.

In fact, the good will and spirit of mutual helpfulness generated prove that the various fraternal benefit societies are magical enough to swallow up and eliminate the hatred, bitterness, distrust and selfishness throughout the world provided that in each community in the world there existed the various fraternal benefit societies of which you and I are merrkbers.

A few years 'ago, a chief officer of one of the national powers of the world determined to come to America in person to make a sturdy of America, its government, institutions and organizations for the purpose of finding out for himself the secret of the strength and power of our democracy. This important person went first, of course, to New York city and while there visited Wall Street the financial center of the world, and was deeply impressed with the tremendous buildings, the great financial trans actions and the accumulation of instru. 'tents of wealth, that he said to himf- Ai, This great financial district is sorely America's strengtIa " Later he visited Washington, DC., the capitol of the United States, thet may be properly termed the heartthrob of the world. And aft_r spending considerable time visiting and studying the government institutions, the Congress of the United Stales and the great historical shrines and temples, this noted stranger said, This indeed is the secret of America's strength and power.' Before our visitor returned to his country, he was a guest in a rural home in one of our western states. On this day that he chanced to visit in this rural home, the inhabitants Of this community gathered at the home of a sick neighbor and spent the day harvesting the crop of this unfortunate neighbor, receiving only as compensation for their day's work, the thanks and appreciation of the sick neighbor. ,

Wednesday, December 31, 1958 After viewing the scene of all the men in the community gathering at the home of the sick neighbor and perform-, ing for him free of cost this great task, of harvesting his crop, our visitor said, "This is truly the secret of the greatness and power of Atnerica.."

And certainly this is true of our frat• ernal benefit societies, and each member of our fraternal benefit societies knoa that is misfortune or adversity overtakes them, their fellow members wilt come to their aid and :assistance, and not only perform the work or provide the service necessary to the unfortunate, but encourage them in [every way possible, and assist in any manner necessary to enable them to overcome the misfortune or adversity that has befallen them. May I leave this one parting thought with you, what we do for ourselves alone, dies with us, what we do for others remains and is immortal. So, may I encourage you to be loyal to your particular fraternal benefit society, for it provides you with an opportunity to render some service or perform some act that will remain to honor you and bless you long after your mortal existence ceases. • 4 • Does Bride Share Husband's Nonquota Status?

QUESTION: I came to the United States on a student visa to study medicine, from a country with an oversubscribed quota. Subspquently, a first preference petition in my behalf was approved and this, thanks to Congressional action on August 21, 1958, made the eligible to a nonquota visa. I have since adjusted my status, but now want to get married to a girl of my own notionality, who is also studying in the United States. Will she benefit from my adjustment of status?

ANSWER: Unfortunately, no. The interpretation given to the act, which gave you non quota status, requires that the marriage of the alien must have taken place prior to July 1, 1958, to benefit his wife. The wives of persons married before that date would also be entitled to nonquota status, whereas a later marriage will merely confer a third preference status on the bride. If the third preference of your nationality is oversubscribed, you may have to resort to private legislation in order to adjust your wife's status.
