OTTO L. MOSEY{ DALLAS, TEXAS Statistics tell us that twelve million hunters took to the woods, mountains, rolling plains, marsh land and other places to hunt this fall for different game. Some trips to such far-away places as Africa, India, Mexico, Western States, Canadian wilderness and Alaska. These hunts covered 170 million days, traveling better than six billion miles in different directions on the globe. Hard to believe isn't it? Yet when the smoke clears at the season's end, and the guns are cleaned, oiled and racked, a•ast of the lead was aimed at the humble cottontail rabbit.

Surveys that give us these fantastic figures also tell that rabbits furnish our hunters, both young and old, with more shooting than any other game on this continent. The reason: the cottontail asks no favors, all he wants is a patch of briers or some dense: undergrowth, another cottontail his opposite sex, and there you have it, as he furnishes in return, good hunting to both the farmer boy or the city dweller, who likes to keep his eyes sharp and his waistline normal by good sport and a tasty dish..

Even though he is so humble and common in our locality he offers a better and more sporty target than the majestic elk grazing on a mountain meadow at 9,000 feet altitude.

To my way of thinking the elk, once spotted feeding, is like shooting a jersey milk cow in your back pasture. I have hunted with several "hot shot" bird and wing shooters who also miss a tricky bunny with both barrels, and a few yards further do it again, yes sometimes its hard to decide to pull the trigger at the "zig or zag," when this ball of fur tears out of a brush pile or the brier patch near the fen' e row.

There is not a state in the 49 in which the rabbits is not found in adequate supply, needless to mention each state produces its quota of rabbit hunters.

VESTN1K

WEST, TEXAS

Some states also have controlled seasons.

Not only is the rabbit the most popular hunted animal, he is also most hunted by predators such as fox, hawks, owls, weasels, coyotes, cats, etc., for a tasty meal.

Fortunately nature provided the rabbit with two almost sure ways for survival — speed, the ability to "get lost" and his capacity of reproduction. Contrary to popular theory rabbits do not nest in holes nor do they dig holes for their protection or safety so long as the gophers, fox, armadillos and others are willing to do it for him. Mr. Rabbit takes over the holes to use as a refuge when the necessity demands. The females nest is nothing fancy nor informal. It is a shallow dugout place in the ground, usually on a slope to provide drainage, generally there is protection from above such as bunch grass, brush, briers and the like. This mother.lines her nest with grass, leaves and fur pulled from her coat.

The young of course are born without fur and look like pink grubs, and their number vary from nest to nest, as many as nine sometimes four depends on their ancestors, etc. During the day the young huddle in the nest digest and grow and usually at night is the feeding time. They leave the nest when quiet young — their size about four inches froxi tip to tail and once out, each youngster is on his own with no assistance from the parents.

Strana 13 glasses. Here's hoping none of us nimrods will ever need glasses that thick.

Personally I must confess I have tried beagles on rabbits and as I named these little hounds before they are little "vacuum cleaners." In my way of hunting I like to give this cottontail a better chance and take my few for sport rather than for total extermination. Sure — I have a fine 13 inch beagle but ha is retired and content to chase ,a cat now and then and massage his gums on an oversized, juicy bone in my back yard reservation. Poor "Duke" loves to dream of the chase I'm sure!

In conclusion please let me leave you with this one thought: . The moment a true sportsman loads his weapon, his conscience goes on guard for he knows that a momentary lapse of judgement can lead to a lifetia-4e of regret, because of , death or serious injury to his partner or companions. Yet each year accidents still happen, so please remember that a shotgun or rifle is only as safe as the man and mind that guides it.

Hunting the rabbit is a simple pastime and sport, trusting to luck for an occasional shot and true excitement in the woods, fields, and creek bottoms.

However some hunters prefer to hunt with well trained beagles, sometimes even a pack, to sniff them out of brier patches and tangled undergrowth. The little hounds are really "vacuum cleaners" when it comes to any patch of cover. Once flushed from his cover by the beagle the rabbit would be safe if the little 'dumbell would keep his distance and a straight line, but his undoing is that when a bunny selects a To transfer our money, about ten bilcertain area as his home he will always return via a circle chased by his tor- lion bank checks — totalling $3 trillion mentors who he takes for a nice long dollars are currently exchanged in the United States each year.

A new life insurance mortality table will come up 'for legislative approval in a large number of states this year, the Institute of Life Insurance says.

The Principal purpose for the adoption of the new mortality table is to enable state 1.ws to be amended to permit reserve and cash surrender value factors to be calculated on a later basis than that itted under the 1941 table which was generally adopted in 1948.

Reflecting substantial mortality improvements among policyholders, greater in the past two decades than in the Previous half-century, this new table was approved last month by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The first state to give it official approval was Connecticut, the insurance commissioner of that state acting last week under his authority in such matters.

The table now needs only individual state legislative approval in the other 48 states to make it available for permiE:sive use generally by the companies.

It will be mandatory for the business by 1960, according to the Comly,issioneCs approval plan. Individual companies : ;lopt it as soon as the legislatures of I states in which they operate approve it.

The mortality improvements in recent years are clearly reflected in the death rates shown by the 'new table. Deaths per 1,000 policy holders are shown to be

The chairman of the Insurance Commissioner's Committee proposing the new table was Cyril C.

Don't Pay Tax on NonTaxable Items You may think that listing your inco,r.e is the easiest part of preparing a tax return. Actually, according to the Internal Revenue Service, this is where taxpayers make the greatest number of errors.

Not all of the money that may have come to you during 1958 needs to be reported on your tax form. For example, don't report: 1. Dividens received on an insurance policy. They are considered merely funds of part of the premium you paid.

2. Social Security benefits. Railroad Retirement Act benefits, or payments received under Workmen's Compensation laws 3. Property or cash gifts received from other people, although the giver may have to pay a gift tax. Tips and other compensation for services must be reported, however.

4. Inheritances and bequests. The estate may be taxed, but not the recipient.

If you were injured and received damages, this is not considered taxable income and it makes no difference whether your damages were awarded by a court or settled out of court.

When listing income you can also forget about most government benefits to veterans and their families. Dividends paid on veteran's government insurance is not considered taxable income, but non-disability retirement pay and the interest on terminal leave bonds must be included.

If you were absent from work due to injury or sickness and received payments from your employer or his insurance company, these payments are non-taxable within these two limitations: First, the maximum amount is $100 Per week, plus any amounts which came from your own contribution to the plan.

Second, unless the absence was for sickness during which you were hospitalized for one day or for a personal injury, the payments are not tax free until after the first 7 valendar days of absence.

If these payments are included in the wages shown on your withholding slips, ycu should subtract the r roper amount from your income in the place provided on the front page of the tax return( (Form 1040). Attach an explanation as described in the official instruction book. You are entitled to exclude this amount even if you do not itemize deductions.

VESTNIX — WEST, TEXAS Rules on Prizes: There is an interesting rule on prizes. Generally prizes and awards are taxable. However, prizes awarded for scientific, literary and other achievements without any action, by you to bring about your selection, are not considered as taxable income to you.

Most scholarships granted to college students are not taxable, and the value of the award does not have to be included in the student's contribution to his support.

The . official instructions contain a list of the types of income which should or should not be included in your tax return.. It is important to check this list carefully.

Where Many Organizations Are Weak An efficiency expert of great renown says that more than thirty years of watching organizations struggle to get results has convinced his that the greatest weakness in business organizations it that orders for work to be done, projects undertaken or results to be achieved are too vague, indefinite or incomplete.

He says that there is sheer power in proper assignn-rent of tasks to be performed or in proper specifications writing; that the specifications writer or the chief executive does not need to know, of his own knowledge, how everything should be done or how best results could be obtained but that he must be able to determine What Is Needed — What Results Are Wanted and must be able to delegate or assign the work to be done to his subordinates in an intelligent manner if proper results are to be a ieved.

Sometimes the how to do it answer may come from the humblest source. A safety element as missing from a certain machine, the engineers, all expert technicians, knew what result was wanted but could not tell what had to be done to get it.

One day, they were watching the machine and talking about the unanswerable problem, when the young lady operating the machine asked hesitatingly, "How would it be to do this?" She told them what she had in mind, There was the solution.

When things go wrong in an organization, and a subordinate pleads, that he did not understand his assignment, the chances are that the trouble has come because of lack of clearly expressed order or assignment specifications.

This efficiency expert says that plans for a meeting or conference should be

!Arran& made Backwards. You will be interested in knowing Why. To make planning or specifications writing easier for himself the executive should determine from all sources available to him what is needed and then he should announce what results are wanted and how these results are to be accomplished and by who and when. Lack of efficiency in the lower places is usually always due to lack of direction from those in authority. ) • .14 • ( Each year to Doubleday, the book publisher, comes 5,000 manuscripts, few less than 250 typewritten pages.

FRATERNAL BLISS AND TRIBULATION ,SISTERS AND BROTHERS; During the latter part of the year 1955 and the first five months of 1956 — or to put it plainly, about a year before the last convention of our SPJST, held in Temple the last week of June 1956, our Vestnik had many contributions suggesting or directly charging that our bylaws were in great need of condensing and shortening—without suggestions by the writers how this could be accomplished.

Of course, any student of our by-laws it was plain that these by-laws contained several articles that were outdated and should be abolished, and some articles that repeated provisions of other articles and should be shortened and these members published their motions to that effect for the benefit of the Committee on By-laws.

But, again, some articles are not explicit and lack exact direction an precision, and this was the cause of many inisinterpretations of the meaning of that article.

Well, another convention is nearing and this time the clamor for shortening of the by-laws started some six months earlier than before the last convention — to be exact, it did start in Vestnik No. 2, issued on January 14, 1959.

On nage six of that Vestnik we have a very good article on how to shorten the coming convention by efforts of district meetings, with the conclusion that we should hold brotherly conversation during these meetings to find out loe oil!' by-laws could be simplified.

Acknowledging this letter, the editor makes the statement that our by-laws 'are, stating it in Czech, "zbyteene roz yla6ne" -- you translate it — but I shall say that it means "uselessly longwinded" or "uselessly tedious" or "uselessly wordy of verbose."

Now, to those members that did read and study the results of the work our by-law committee before the last con-

Wednesday February 4, 1959 11;ention, published in our Vestnik on April 25, 1956, it was apparent that the committee did not notice the many articles calling for shortened and simplified by-laws and did their very best to co:nply. But — was it good for the SPJST? Hardly -- and here is why: As every member that has the interest of the Order on his mind knows, our SPJST is subject to periodical examinations of our financial interests by the State Department of Insurance, a title lately changed to State Board of Insurance.

These State examinations are about the most important and also most educational events for our membership and reports of these examinations should be in the hands of all members interested in our Order.

Mimeographed copies of these examination reports are or should be on file in the :Supreme Lodge and, according to article 39-j of our by-laws, can be yours for the asking. The last report, for the years 1955-1956-1957 was filed on August 21, 1958 — presumably mailed to the Su — dge the anre day. Ask for your copy, it is very educational — to say the least.

Why am I telling you all this? Because in every examination report that we have received from 1944 there is more or less criticism of our by-laws and the most frequent statement of the examiners is, that our by-laws are lacking detailed provisions, are ambiguous (open to various interpretations, having a double meaning, or doubtful nature or indistinct and unclear.) It is regretable that those members clamoring for shortened by-laws never did read and study these reports, which is very apparent from their writing's.

Claim is made in the first mentioned letter of January 14, 1959 that simplified, shorter by-laws will have the effect to shorten the convention, Bo, let's see how the "shortened by-law idea" worked in the last convention.

A detailed study of the By-laws Committee's report mentioned here before, as published in Vestnik of April 25, 1956, disclosed many abbreviated or abridged articles of our by-laws that during the convention caused considerable discussion and cost a lot of time. Here is one that worked out. sample.

0 attention of the Supreme Lodge at In article 39 — composition of the Su,+line so that proper :disposition and preme Lodge, the By-law Committee planation of it could be made, and the recommended anwittl ye, full time matter then recorded in the minutes. president. When we came to article 41 There was no response : to this request cr (Houston 1952. by-laws, is 39 now) duties of the vice-president — the Committee invitation.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 remodeled the first paragraph of this article (41-a) without defining his duties p.m.

Wednesday, February 4, 1959 and left out the entire second paragraph (41-b), a very important one; designating the vice-president as successor to the president in case this office was preempted.

This ommission created considerable opposition from the floor and some 20 minutes or more were consumed by discussing this matter, during which the then attorney for the Supreme Lodge and also advisor to the By-law Committee admitted that "a mistake was made."

Finally delegate Frank B Steiner submitted an entirely new article 41, as proposed by the Third District of the SPJST and published by Brother John Hrabina, then president of the District, in Vestnik No. 10, issued on. March 7, 1956, but tabled by the By-law Committee.

By that time Brother August Kacir pointed out that is was way past time to adjourn and as the debate was prolonged, made a motion to postpone consideration of the Third District motion on article 41 till Thursday, June 28, forenoon and to adjourn.

The next day we had to go through reading the new article 41 again. Only one paragraph of that new article was challenged, (demanding from the vicepresident knowledge of insurance and experienc in fraternal insurance selling) on the motion to strike that paragraph out. Motion was without a second and the whole new article 41 was adopted unanimously and declared effective immediately.

How much time did we save by curtailing this article? And there were plenty more situations like this one. And if you take the last .examination report, you will see that on -page 22 the examiner is citing such curtailment, comparing article 17 of the 1952 by-law with the same article of present by-law.

So please, let's not be stingy with proper words and definitions for the sake of saving three or four pages and shortening the by-laws, it does not pay in the long run. They are the most important devise we have in handling the SPJST business and should have the utmost thought, deliberate study, consideration and effort.

The ormission or important provisions or unclear definition of a by-law is not only subject of unfavorable comment by proper authorities — they are a reflection on the deliberations of every convention that passes such by-law. It is my experience of seven conventions (1932-1956) that, when the convention enters it's fourth day — which usually is Thursday — the delegates get somewhat impatient and restless with what prob-

ably seems to them rather tedious and dry business and to your sorrow you hear loud cries of "pokraeovat — pokraeovat (proceed -- proceed or continue — continue.) And generally this, to them, tedious and dry business is the most important business of the convention — the by-laws.

Anyone that studies our by-laws must admit that the criticism of the State Examiners is justified and proper. Very many aspects of our by-laws are merely interpretations of and subservice to the provisions of our State Insurance Code, a law governing the actions and business of insurance companies and Fraternal Orders. Let's pay soxie attention to the examiners criticism.

And there is another shortcoming in our by-laws that should be corrected after the next convention or even before the. convention by the present Bylaws Committee. Every article that has more than one paragraph should be codified (provided with identifying letters) so when a member consults the index he will have there the complete and precise information about the article and here to find the particular part of that article — without the necessity to read the whole thing.

A good example of this codifying is the present articles covering the duties of members of the Supreme Lodge, except the duties of the 'vice-president, which are paragraphed, but not codified.

Every article that has more than one paragraph should be codified and long articles, expressing more than one provision and are divisible should be divided, and codified. When all such articles are so arranged they will be easy to index and easy to read and look up the particular item you may want to read.

Of course, that will necessitate larger by-laws (wore pages) but they will be much better arranged. One good example of codifying need is present article 124 —duties of the lodge secretary. Just take a look at it.

Which Would You Choose If an insurance company says, "If we gave you your choice of the following and you had to decide immediately, would you take Plan 1 or Plan 2? Here are the plans: Plan 1 would pay you 5c today and double the amount each day for one

month.

Plan 2 would pay you $500 per month, starting now, for the rest of your life.

Which would you choose? Most people would choose the monthly income of $500 but Plan 1 would pay off better. It would provide $53,687,091.15. Of course a smart operator would choose a month

with 31 days which would come out $107374,182.35 equal to $500 a month for 17,895 years.

HLAHOL DRAMATIC CLUB NOTES ANNOUNCEMENT! ! !

The Hlahol Dramatic Club will present a three act comedy entitled "EMANEK to VYRIDI," Sunday afternoon, February 8th, at 3:30 'p.m.

I have mentioned this in my report earlier in the month but want to remind you to keep this date in mind as you will not want to miss this entertainment.

For further information, please refer to the program in the Vestnik, to acquaint yourself with the list of characters.

Of course, you may count on the usual list of refreshments which will be served during the afternoon and evening.

Reporting for the Hlahol Dramatic Club, I am Sincerely, Naomi Kostom • ord, • t WEST, TEXAS DEAR. GIRLS: Well, most of us are going through checks, getting our bills together—ready for filing our Income Tax Statements, and January is a good month to get it all done in.

Recently the Internal Revenue Service put out a jokebook, a, collection of anecdotes compiled by their various taxloen in their dealings with John Jane Doe. They seek to "huma,m7e, ' the collection and the paymer'r .of taxes, to soft pedal the taxatle ,,, w:• ges earned of the average man or woman, representing some to 3 months labor or roughly 340 to 360 man hours for taxation. To me, that is no "joke" but a

Straus. 23 serious bite out of the take-home pay 1 and represents a lot of potatoes and milk to a family.

While most of us are just as ready and willing to pay our part in taxes as the next person, it doesn't need to be humanized into a joke, for taxation is our part in man hours worked each year to keep opr country demoeratic, where the small guy has a chance at private enterprise as doss the big man and where the small man fishing is free in this pursuit of happiness as, the big man yachting, plus eriany other blessings all very precious to us all. Along this vein of thinking the Service would do better to touch upon the heartbeat of every American and help him feel hat he is a most hriportant cog in keeping America what it is today.

When we stop to think that according to recent figures compiled by the Children's Bureau in Washington, 400,000 children under 12 years of age, whose mothers are working supplementing the family income for a little better standard of living for her family, that these children have to fend for themselves varying periods of time each day, that these mothers should be at home with) them, but work to help out, then the paying of taxes is a big item for the family and the $600 exemption Uncle Sam allows per person is far short of maintaining that person for long. So, while we can joke about the sack dress, inverted flower pot hats, the fish that got away, or the football team, let's look at taxes as a privilege of living in this country with all of its offered opportunities to us and our loved ones and all of its protection.

A lot of folks who butcher their own beef may be as surprise;. as I was to learn that from a 1,000 steer only 535 pounds of edible meat dressed out. Some how I alwayS thought it was much more but: 128 pounds goes into steaks, 172 in roasts, 128 pounds goes into other edibles such as stew, hamburger, etc. The waste, mostly fat and bone runs some 107 pounds. Many of our thrifty homemakers boil, down the bones into canned broth for soups etc., and from the beef tallow, beautiful white laundry soap can be made.

Every once in a while in reminescing' with folks about butchering on the faTm orings out the fact that in early days, the heart, jowels, liver, tongue, etc. were thrown away and many of our Czech settlers got these items just for the asking from which they made delicious sausages, hogs head cheese and jellied; meats, with the addition of herbs, barley or rice.

I think the teenagers should have a club of their own. We want to organize this club, so all of the teenagers can have their own entertainment. As long as we have been going to the youth club we have not had any entertainment for the teenagers.

The teenagers will be interested in organizing this club, because I think the teenagers . agree with me that they should have entertainment that will suit them.

So far, we have two volunteers that will help us organize this new club.

They are Mrs. Annie Castro and Mrs. Betty Jurica. These two mothers are willing to help us in every possible way that they can.

There are several teenagers that I know personally have already promised me to become members of the club. At present they are not :ffiembers of any club.

If you want to live in the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike, You'll only find what you left behind, For there's nothing that's really new.

It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town — It isn't your town — it's you.

Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest someone else get ahead.

When everybody works and nobody shirks You can raise your town from the dead.

And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one too, Your town will be what you want to see. it isn't your town — It's You! —C. D. Ellyson • ••C 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.

Ve stredu, dne 4, dnora 1959 77 r. Prospect, are you satisfied wiri the 'amount of money you are saving each month? I would like to discuss with you one of the most unusual ideas for saving money that I have ever seen.

I think you will agree with me that saving is one of the hardest things to do and in most cases, inconvenient; but I also think you will agree with Ti,e that it is one of the most important things to do.

"There are many ways to save money,; and frankly, they are all good ideas if they work. It might be of interest to you. to know that over 80 per cent of all savings plans started at our local banks on the first of each year are closed out completely by mid-spring. I think you will agree with me that this is shocking, isn't it, Mr. Prospect?

Now, Mr. Prospect, this unusual idea I have for saving money is not a putand-take proposition, and I 'am sure that you will appreciate that.

A bank savings plan is similar to making an automobile trip from your home town in which you get 20 miles 'away and have to come bask home for something. Then you start again, and get 50 miles down the highway and have to turn around and go back. Do you think you will ever get to your destination.

You know the answer, don't you Mr. Prospect? So, the key to a successful savings plan is to be systematic. Actually you could take an old shoe box and put $5 in it each Saturday night, and in 20 years you would have approximately $5,000. If you are living 20 years from now My idea won't do much more for you than saving in a shoe box. But, Mr. Prospect, if you leave yoAr money in this plan until you are 65, including dividends, it will pay you well over $100 per month for the rest of your life. Isn't that amazing? In fact, in just 20 years you would have over $5,000.

Here is the beautiful part of my plan: If you only make one deposit and are taken out of the picture, your loved ones are going to realize the same amount of savings immediately that it would have taken you 20 years to complete.

Don't you agree that this is one of the most unusual ideas that has come to your attention in quite a while?
