"Otte", tazal se Jiii, "tekl jsem ji2 Otec jeho dal si na torn zale2eti, aby nekdy le2?" vzdelal &bre vlohy, jake Buh Jitimu propUjeil. Jako zahradnik vkcky zbyteene vetve ukezava, aby kinen a dobra 'crave tim lepe se datily, tak pouZil otec kaZde piile2itosti, aby vyplenil chyby na malem Jitikovi a na jich misto zasel zrn ka ctnosti.

Jiii Washington, "Otec vlasti", vsim pra vein podita se k nefalechetnejSim mug:1m.

Narodil se dne 22. imora 1732 ye Virginii na otcovskem statku. JiZ co chlapec vyznamenal se laskou a posluSnosti kt sqm rodiefun, byl ptime povahy a nic nenavidel tak jako leZ, pravdu a spravedlnost miloval nade vS'ecko.

Jednoho dne obdr2e1 Jiii darem krasna jablka; mladsi brattieek a sestfieka prosili ho o dil, kterST2 vAak Jiii nechtel jim dati Kdy2 pak na podzirn stromy byly obtiZeny nejkrasnejSim ovocem, zavedl otec JiHka do zahrady, tka: "Mile dite, pohlede na tu ti2, pod jakou se stromy sklaneji! Mad nechal ovoce toto rtisti a podava ti ho." S vaZn3im hla.sem do dal: "Ty jsi ale pied kratkYm 'damn byl velmi skoup, protole jsi nechtel udeliti dil jablka svemu naladSimu brattiekovi a sesttiece, aekoliv to o ne prosili." zahanben, sklopil oei Po chvili pohlednul k otci a se slzou v oku pravil: "Otte, odpust' mi to tentokrate; jiZ nikdy nebudu lakomS7m a nelaskavSim." jineho easu pravil k nemu otec : "Pray domluvnost jest nejkrasnejSi okrasa mla

"To ne, mile Bite," odpoveclel otec, "jeSte I-likely' Ale prosim te, drahY synu neposkyrn nikdy iista sva 12i; kdybys tak uainil, nemohl bych to vice milovati a matka tva by plakala bolesti."

Tak zaseval starostliv,N,'7 otec dobre sime do srdce mladeho Jftiho a vskutku ptineslo steronasobnY uZitek.

Jiii ztrativ zahy otce k matce dvojnasobnou laskou; takove dtikazy sve

Lasky k matce daval na jevo, 2e tato jednou volala :"Milj nab) Jib, Bun slibil polehnani detem, ktereZ sve rodiee jsem jista, ze i tebe polehria."

Jak se Americka vlajka postupne manila Ttetiho ledna uvital president Eisenhoiker oficialne nekdejSi territorii AlaSku jako devetaetykicatY stat SpojenYch Statti severoamerickYch. Bylo tomu skoro puistoleti, co se takto pkidruZil k Unii stat posledni, Arizona. PIA nedd yne slay nosti bylo zvlaStni atrakci rozvinuti nova americke vlajky, ktera se takto marl po kaZdem phipojeni nuveho statu.

Jak dues u2 kaZdY vi, je xsa rove vlaj ce sedm tad pc) sedmi bilYch hvezdach na modrem poll, phi eem2 hvezdy jsou pod sebou v tadach sudYch a pod sebou v tadach lichYch, ktere jsou oproti su dym o nee° posunuty. Ttinact dervenYch a bilYCh pruhd ztistava nezmeneno. Vzor byl vyvolen po dilkladnem uvaZeni rilznYch navrhu americkeho naroda.

Americka vlajka representu j e do jiste miry dejirly SpojenYch Stattl jejich evoluci a rozkvat. Ttinact pruhil znamena tkinact ptivodnich kolonii, ktere bojovaly v osmnactem stoleti za neodvislost a ktere polaZily zaklady americkeho roda. Hvezdy symbolisuji jednotu. S ka2k*m novYm statem rodi se hvezda nova.

Pojeti nova vlajky zilsta‘ra v podstate tote2, jako bylo v ptipade prvni vlajky a VSech vlajek nasledujicich, oznaeovanYch east° jako "Stars and Stripes". Prvni vlajka vznikla roku 1777, kdy amerie ti koloniste bojovali za svou neodvislost.

George WashingtOn rozhodl se k ptijeti tato vlajky se ztetelem na povzbuzeni jednoty a sily ttinacti zapasieich kolonii.

MySlenka narodniho praporu byla teh dy jeke cosi noveho, nebot' tou dobeu mei° ho jenom velmi Indio narod4. Vlajka .SpojenYch Stall je proto patou nejstarSi na svete. Ostatni jsou vlajky Dan ska, avycarska, , vedska, a Holandska.

AC datum vzniku americke vlajky je znamo, zastava stale jeSte zdhadou, kdo dal podnet k jeji Aprave. Nazory historila). se v tom rozchdzeji. Podl.e tradice phi suzuje se vSak zasluha za to mlacie vdeve Betsy Rossove, ktera vlastnila dalounickY zdvod Ve Filadelfii.

George Washington ptiSel. pry do jejiho kramu v 14te 1776 s naertem navrhovane vlajky a po2adal ji, aby ji podle sveho mineni upravila. Aekoliv o vzhledu tato prvni vlajky nezachovaly se zadne nezvratne zaznamy, south se, Ze na nI byly pruhy j ako tines, ale hvezdy byly uspotadany na modrem poli do kru hu.

Od to doby byla vlajka , meneria §estadvacetkra.t, veetne zmeny posledni. K prvni zmene dodo, kdy se k 'Unit ptipojily Vermont a Kentucky, kdy novY-pra-

por dostal patnact hvezd, jaku2 i patnact pruht. Toto byl prapor, kterY vial nad tvrzi McHenry roku 1814 v bitve, kterou zvednil Francis Scott Key nesmrtelnou basni, jeji'Z sloky tvoti dries siova americ ke narodni hymny.

Narod rostl, a s nim i poet pruhtl a hvezd na vlajce. S kaZdYm ptidanYm pru hem staval se prapor SirSi a sirsi, az koneene jeden kongresnik protestoval, Ze "poroste-li Unie ptitomnYra tempem, zahy shledate, Ze ani ta nejvySSI sostia z Maine nebude dosti dlouha, aby poshra 2ila, za 2erd'."

Roku 1818 rozhodl se proto kangres smazati vSechny pruhy s vYjimkeu pi)vodnich ttinacti a natiditi, Ze v budou cnosti bude phipojeni kaMeho dagiho statu oznoeeno toliko ptidanim neve hvezdy. K ptedposledni zmene vlajky do slo roku 1912, kdyZ se Nova Mexiko a Arizona staly sedmaetyrycatYm a osmaetirycatYm statem Unie.

Wednesday, February 18, 1959 Reports from ore Lodges, or any other Reading Matter to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue. Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK to keep America at peace with the rest of the world.

The Leadership of GEORGE WASHINGTON To gain their independence , and to establish a strong and dignified government, the American people needed two kinds of leadership.

They needed, first, a resourceful general to lead tiler comparatively untrained troops against the British, and second a wise statesman to guide the new nation. It was America's great good fortune that it found both the general and the statesman in the person of one man, George Washington, who has with justice been called "the Father of his Country."

As military leader, Washington proved to be single-minded and steadfast in purpose. In the early days of tha Revolutionary War the ragged, ill-fed, untrained American regiments suffered terrible defeats. And in 1780, after four years of indecisive battle, the Whole country was in a state of exhaustion, But Washington never despaired or lost heart.

Throughout the bitter conflict, he reTrained a figure of dignity and serene moral courage. He was convinced of the rightness of the American cause and of the inevitability of victory.

Along with his brilliant generalship, his steadfastness and courage, Washington had one other quality which endearhim to his countrymen. That quality was his largness of spirit. He showed this trait as commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary army. A number of his generals intrigued against Washington's leadership, but whenever one of these generals was in trouble, Washington was quick to help by sending his best troops.

He accepted the blame in time of adversity and refused to claim the credit in times of success. Although some groups tried . to pick quarrels with him, Washington would not waste his energi es in quarreling. Instead, he spent all his eloquence in trying to rouse the people to effort and sacrifice. "Our cause is noble," he wrote. "It is the cause of mankind:,

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."

This same largeness of spirit showed itself again in tire confused period which followed the winning of independence.

Washington saw that freedom was not enough — it had to be balanced with authority. And although he had hoped to retire from public life to farm in Virginia, he responded to the call of his countrymen to preside over the convention which wrote the American Constitution and after that, to become the first President of the United States.

In both roles, he made it his function to mediate between conflicting groups and opinions. As President, he brought into his cabinet the two leaders of rival parties, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. And just as he tried to keep peace within the country, he also strove

Although it ran counter to the prejudices aroused by war, Washington did not hesitate to make a treaty cementing peace with Great Britain. He believed that principle was everything and that national policy must have moral value.

America was indeed fortunate to find in its time of chrisis a man like George Washington. But his qualities — his understanding of the times, his constancy of purpose, his loftiness of outlook and his devotion to justice — made Washington more than a national leader. From his own day to the present, Washington has been recognized as a truly world figure. His personal traits, like the cause of liberty and 'democracy for which he fought, transcend national boundaries. ) ° " • (

•To.,,,urtince Life insurance is thrift -- ,ar unique kind of thrift. The only kind of thrift plan which is self completing in the event of death. The only thrift plan that matures even if you don't. You don't have to take my word for it. Andrew Mellon, millionaire industrialist and former Secretary of the Treasury, once said, "Life Insurance should be every man's first investment." Not a rich man's first investment, but every man's first investment.

Life insurance proceeds constitute' 81 per cent of all the property left by decedents in the United States. The average man cant afford to worry very much about the other 19 per cent. The odds are weighted too heavily against you when you consider how many men died in 1953 who had owned life insurance less than one year. The, amount so paid was $52,000,000.

Life insurance is absolutely the only thing father can buy on the installment plan that mother doesn't have to finish paying for.

Life insurance is truly father's financial immortality. ( Far '"

Arrival Of A 7.2rospect The arrival of a new son or daughter creates a new market for insurance in several ways. Usually, before calling on proud parents, I gather up all the information I can about the prospect: occupation, salary, age, etc. This helps me draw a mental picture and puts me in better position to help my clients solve a problem most vital to him.

If my client is of the higher income bracket and already owns an adequate an-iount of insurance on himself, I usually propose $5.000 or $10,000 Endownment on he child.

When proposing such a plan, I always point out to the father that should the proceeds of the policy not be needed to educate the child, he has the privilige of converting the contract to a 20 Year Paid-Up policy for the face amount and, at the same time, receive a substantial amount of cash. I point out that our SPJST will return the difference in cash value of the Endownlent policy and the 20-Pay. In addition, I show him that 1. The policy will become fully paidup in event of his death.

2. The proceeds of the policy can be used for education, if needed.

C. Should he become totally and permanently disabled, the plan will continue without interruptions.

D. The policy can be used as an estate builder should future conditions warrant.

Frequently, when interviewing the proud parents, I learn the father does not have adequate insurance coverage.

After a check of his present insurance program, I propose whatever I think he can afford to bring his coverage up to par with a certain portion ear-marked for educational purposes in event . of his death. At the same time, I point out the fact that the cash value of the policy may be used to educate the child, should it be needed. If not needed, he may want to use it to work in with his retirement plan.

Parents are always glad to discuss their children's future. In doing so, you are talking in terms of their interest. I know of no other sub.rect that any rightthinking couple would be more interested in than the education and welfare of• their own flesh and blood.

Brother J. II. Siptak of CaldWell sold the largest amount of insurance (No picture received). Brother P. P. Baron has written up most new members.

Good work brothers, Sincere thanks, and lots of luck for 1959.

From S cial Security • Admi istration People under age 72 receiving social security benefits will not be eligible for all their checks in 1959 if they have earnings of more than $1,200, according to Al Bracken, District Manager of the Waco Social Security Office.

These are beneficiaries who are either working for wages of more than $100 a month or are rendering substantial services in self-employment. They should Immediately report this to the Social Security Administration. In this way benefits can be withheld while a person is working and will avoid the necessity of refunding benefits or having them withheld later when a person is not working, Bracken noted.

If earnings amounted to more than $1,-, 200 in 1958, it will be necessary to file an annual report of these earnings by April 15, 1959, Failure to do so may result in a loss of additional benefits. The information furnished on this annual report will be used by the Social Security Administration to make all necessary adjustments in the number of benefit checks properly due.

With personal regards to all Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner ) • 444 • ( Houston, Texas PLANNING BRINGS SUCCESS Dear Brothers and Sisters: This is about "Tim Kostom Will Arrange It," but I really mean "Emanek to Zaridi', the Czech play that was presented on February 8th by the dramatic club of Lodge No. 88, Houston, Texas.

This play under the direction of Stephen Valcik was really something to talk about. The play was,part of the program celebrating the 25th anniversary of the opening of our lodge site. Some 300 members and guests attended this celebration and all went home happily, knowing that once again the actors put on a amusing and enjoyable Czech play.

It was obvious that the Czech play presented on this occasion was planned to the minute detail, because everything worked out beautifully from the time the curtain opened until the final curtain closed; consequently a round of applause should be given to the dramatic director, Stephen Valcik. The play, a three act comedy had new actors in its cast. Of the eight actors, four were the ole stand bys you would call the old pros of the theatre, the other four were new faces which the audience by its consensus of opinion, declared that they would like to see again in the future.

The play was very commical from the start to finish, and one of the notable reasons for this successful comical production was the fact that Tim Kostoin had to transform his age from a 22-year old youth to a rejuvenated youth of 13 after submitting himself to a youth hormone diet for four weeks. In one instance during the play he appeared on

V E S T N I K — WEST, TEXAS the stage, wearing long-handled white stockings, up above his shapely knee caps, black bloomers from his sokol days as his pants, a white blouse borrowed from a girls' school, a big lolly-pop protruding from his mouth, and sitting on a hobby-horse trying to carry his voice in the same pitch as the mouse he was looking for in someone else's bedroom — yes, Tim a command performance and I am sure that you will continue your youth hormone diet plan — don't be selfish and pass it on to others — Frances Olexa again showed her versatility by playing the part of an aunt from America, who lost her wig, took reducing exercises on the stage by radio, tried to steal her daughter's intended husband, almost gave away her diamond ring and bank account, but finally ended up by being saved by her old travel, ing salesman beau who courted . her years before — Frances you will always stand out as the best -- Our amiable friend -Mary Johnson gaive her usual superb performance of acting throughout the play — John Starcalanalways one of the notable in any play, gave his true perfortrance as ,a eteran of the professional class — Our new corner AnnaKarel was indeed very charming in her nart during the three acts. As a young daughter from America in the play she showed gracefullness and poise on the stage and her articulation of the Czech words was very ,distinctly understood.

This was her first performance ; and by all means it had better not be her last one, because one always enjoys a. style of acting that is warm, pleasant and gracefull — Lillie Follett, another new corner was really the surprise of the play during the three acts. It's desirous that you play a gain real soon — Karl Matejka, who played the part of a duke, sli pwi. 1 his brilliant acting knowledge by being able to change easily from an elite duke to a down beaten man who was chased out of town, your actin g was well timed, played smothly and your comical pestures were outs‘anding -Milo Karel, who played the part of a traveling salesman for his first performance was another surprise of the play. He seemed to be a veteran in the way tie, gave his unique performance. lie is ,definitely a must for other plays to come — do perform again we all enjoyed your part Milo Karel. To l'anes Svacina, the forever working lo(1•-e ,:anber, we wish to thank her for her as the play prompter through out ants — she guided the play to is gra-) success. Thanks to the up and coming working member Robert Hilsher, for his timely part in making the recording

Wednesday, February 18, 1959 exercises for Frances Olexa during the play. Another thanks to Rudy Sefcik for his welcomin g address and his method of keening °to little ones quiet during the entire per Thrrlance.

Thanks to our new director, Bro. Steve Vaicih who indeed did a wonderful job in planning and organizing the play. Anything,' is relatively simple and becomes successful if you plan properly.

If you take the time to plan. Steve Valcik has already given the lodge members a resume of the coming attraction called "Idealni Zsna" (Ideal Wife) which is to be given at Lodge No. 88 on April 5th So, you soon don't forget this "Ideal Wife" attention. Bring your wife so she can understand. the type of woman you crave, because it's goin g to be surprising even to you. We are sorry sox,e of our members and their guests' didn't arrive or thne for curtain call. It should be logical and stands to reason that whenever a Czech play is advertised to startat a certain time, the curtain slno d open promptly at the time designated. In this manner the persons who arrive on time will not have to wait for those that come in late. Thanks to all others who assisted in cur success.

Let's Be Friends, Louis Hanus 1 • ea s (------SGURDANTOT,T, TEXAS I wish to thank the Supreme Lodge for the opportunity they gave me to attend Inc Fraternal Seminar.

Unfortunately, I intended to save much of my time and energy, and thought I would let. Brother Hosek, our Editor to do some of my week for me, I asked him to be so kind and translate the Czech writeup into the English language for the English! section. In so doing, Brother Hosek, no doubt, under the impression that this affair is being sponsored by the local SPJST Lodge jointly with the CMB Church, simply stated so in this write-up.

The fact is, the lOcal lodge is not taking any part. I do not want any of you members to think that you are obligated in any way; . but on the other hand, the members of the CMB Church certainly invite all of you to come and enjoy the day with us.

West, T as Dear Girls: Poor, poor weatherman — he's in the doghouse again. He missed the icy blast that hit us this last time completely.

While it was a very beautiful siflit looking at it from a nice warm roa..T; with the trees ladened with their sparkling burden of icicles, one sympathized with thoSe that had to venture out into that kind of weather. In two days time and the sunshine coming out, great chunks of the ice kerplunked on the roofs tops off of TV antennas and from wires and trees, and when one walked under a tree chances are one got a shower of ice even down the neck.

Mother earth thirstilly lapped it all up so that the next day, except for broken tree limbs, traces of ice were nowhere to be seen.

While the weather is still turbulent, in between cold spells, one does manage to get a little weeding done in the bed, before we are chased indoors to sit a spell before the fire, to visit with each other through Vestnik's columns.

This brings to mind something I learned recently about ve.ntilation in the home tb keep newl y decorated rooms from aging, during the winter heating of the home. Vapors from cooking, washing or clothes drying passes into the walls and ceilin gs, causing peeling paint, cracking of wallpaper and ceilings which is especally vexing if the house has just been redecorated.

Consequently, manufacturers of wallboard, tiles and other interior building materials have coer;piled four rules to avoid aging which I pass on to you.

I am so glad that so many of you were planning Valentine Parties for your Youth. Exeryone loves to be remembered on this day, young and old. Among my souvenirs someday when I am gone someone in disposing of earthly possessions will find Valentines I have treasured from my children, grandchildren and. your editor. Yes, he's a romanticist and his, satiny and lacy Valentines are truly a connoiseeur's collection. From the simple double hearts made of school paper with a tiny heart window on the top neat and with childish scrwaling Be My Valentine, from your children in grade school, to the great big Valentine I received from you younger son in his first year in Veterinary study, to the precious Valentine sent me by my beloved late sister Frances who sent it for my firstborn, Louis, with a notation! when Junior is old enough, he will do this for himself. Kiss him for me." How she loved my baby!

There is a whole lifetime of memories for me in those Valentines, as precious as life itself. They speak of love as only love should be spoken, from the' heart.

So, girls, I hope you made your Party a good one, for remembrances sake, for once you are gone only such memories will remain after you.

I woudn't be fair to overlook the birthday of two of America's noblemen: George Washington, on the 22nd, who after many losing battle for America's freedom did win to become our first President, Father of Our Country; and then the humble but noblehearted Abe Lincoln whose birthday was on the 12th, who became a world symbol of enslaved peoples of human dignity and personal freedom. If possible, remember these great Americans always in your lodge activities during this month of Precidents for they are America.

As a. money raising project with. a little different approach, why not give a Pancake Supper with the brothers of the lodge donning aprons and cook's cap and doing the honors of Flapping the Jacks while the sisters set the tables.

He was born in Czecoslovakia and came to this country in 1388. He was married to Anna Sefcik of Nelsonville for 59 years. They had resided in the Seaton Community for 50 years and in Temple since 1956. He was a charter member of the Seaton Czech Moravian Brethren Church, a member of our lodge and also a member of the WOW lodge. He is survived by his wife; one daughter, Mrs. Will Janek; two sons, Ed. of Temple and Johnny of San Angelo; eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Services were conducted at the Seaton CM13 Church on Sunday, February 8th by the Rev. F. J. Kostohryz and Rev. Johnny Bravenec. Burial was in the Seaton cemetery. Deepest sympathy is expressed the immediate family and wish our deceased brother eternal peace.

The certificate of Brother Joe Motl has been framed and hung on the wall Of our lodge. This certificate was the first paid out by the Supreme Lodge to the member while still living. The auditing committee gave their delayed report.. A resolutions committee for this year h,aa' not been appointed in the January meeting, so the president and vicepresident appointed the following members: Brother F. E. Hejl, Jr., Sister Agnes Mott and Me (Mrs. Jerry Pechal).

The local by-laws were approved with some changes. The secretary was asked to have six copies- made; three in English and three in Czech.

We welcome the following' new members at our lodge: Sister Leona Louise Dubcak and also her son, Gary Ray Dubcak; and 'Brother Robert Haisler and Sister Mary Haisler, who transferred to our lodge from lodge No. 24.

Sister Albina Sefcik is still on the sick list; as is, Brother H. W. Hejl, We wish both of them complete recovery real soon.

the last meeting accepted as read and the various committees gave their reports to the membership which were also approved as presented.

To our departed brother and member John Kubicek was dedicated our standing in a minute's prayer in respect to his memory.

In the next meeting we are planning to elect our Lodge Queen for our May Fete, so you young ladies that are interested in conapeting for this title, come to our next meeting. You must be at least 16 years of age, single and a member of our lodge. We shall vote on the candidates, and the one that receives the most votes will be our May Queen.

Since our youth will rehearse for our May Fete Program, this would be an opportune time for us to organize our Youth Club in our Lodge, as it has been done in other lodges. For this purpose, we have chosen three sisters of our Lod g e who for the last several years have had our May Fetes supervision, to supervise this May Queen Program and our youth this year. They are our good sisters: Sophie Kovar, Lilian Kasparek and Vlasta Ivicic, and we all wish for them lots of success.

You younger sisters we ask you to please report to these above mentioned sisters in an abundant number.

After our last meeting, our good lodge sisters prepared a big pot of coffee and served refreshments after which many settled down to a wonderful time at dominoes, while others departed for home.

While the weather was pleasant but cloudy, rain would be welcomed. Now is the time for every good member to help us advertise and prepare for our May Fete so that it will be a big success. Do not forget and come to our next meeting 100 c/c. Only with a full house can our lodge work go forward. I will be seeing you at our next meeting!

hall belongs to all of us and it is a good thing to want to make money for the lodge, but the reason we have appointed committees and officers is so our Lodge can be run with efficiency as an orderly organization. Any help or suggestions you wish to make to the committee are more than welcome. This among .other very important matters will be discussed at our coming meeting (March 1st) Please plan to attend.

Plans must be made for the District Meeting in April. Do we want to serve two meals or just one? and what do you think of the idea of enlarging our hall? Well you have as much to say about it as any one of our members but you can only be heard if you are at the meeting. Also Charlie Novosad has a talk for us that I'm sure you will enjoy. As you know Charlie attended the Fraternal Seminar at SMU for four days and he would like to tell us all about it. Also he went to a regular monthly meeting of a Dallas Lodge and found it quite a comparison to ours. So let's not forget March 1st, it promises to be a very interesting meeting.

Waco, Texas Dear Readers, Well. here I am again, this time to tell you about our last dance before Lent at Linden Hall. We didn't have a huge crowd. but for a school or work night, I'd say we had a pretty nice crowd. The music was furnished by the "Polka Tones" of Dallas, a new • 4. • orchestra, around Waco. I'm sure everyone enjoyed the music. I did.

Then about 10:30, we had the judging of the tackiest people. The winners were as follows: first place Mr. and Mrs. Ceska; second: Mr. and Mrs. Moore and third. Helen Kolenovsky. There were a few other people who were tacky. They all looked real cute, but it was all in fun. Well anyway, I think everyone had a lot of fun.

I hope they did. Well, I have to go now, I hope to see you all on Easter Sunday. Thank You!

OTTO L. HOSEK DALLAS, TEXAS

Dear Readers and Fellow Hunters: "Let's grab the shotguns and go to the creek, flush out some rabbits and get some walking exercise next Saturday, Joe." "Are you kidding? not me, at least not this weekend — I'm going to take it easy. First I'm having a leasurily breakfast then I'll curl up in my morning paper and catch up on some news that I have been missing, putter around the house and write a few checks for the utility bills, have a good dinner and a good nap afterwards.

"About four, the little woman and I will drive to the super market and do a little shopping -- tonight Marg and Jim are dropping by for a few games of 42. Tomorrow I will really rest if nobody disturbs me."

Sometimes I think- Joe is losing his love for the outdoors and the chase.

Mostly I think he hates walking the creek bottoms and fields — yes he has gained quite a bit of weight in the last two years of easy living, little exercise very little walking -- or is walking "A LOST ART?" Early man, a hunter, walked an average of twenty miles a day in the chase of game for food: and clothing according to anthropologist Robert Briffault, yet the Gallup Poll, after a survey made two years ago, concluded that the average North American walks a fraction less than two miles a day. The word pedestrian today or tomorrow will be almost nonexistent. Even our womf. , n suffer today when they do .any amount of walking. Women who habitually wear high heels suffer for fashion's sake and they are deprived of their natural gait and grace.

It is the auto, of course, that sets the standard of mobility, the pedestrian seen through your windshield, is no more than an obstacle on the road. Ironically, the auto, which has done so much to take man off his feet, may be the means

Wednesday, February 18, 195, of putting him back on them i „ain. During the rush hours ,downLe.....1 sections of our big cities, a• man on foot c:an out Pace moving cars and buof the future" we are tic, have center pa;:klike shopping, theater-cuing .and cafe 'IL g. From these, wheeled traffic .,nil be banned and the only travel will be by walking. • Whether we wish it or not, it seems that modern man and woman must come to terms with theirfeet again and put then back to. the use for which they were intended. Medical authorities agree that walking is one of the riT,ost natural and healthful forms of mild exercise and a good walker seldom develops excess weight or ills, such as an overburdened heart.

Not only does walking offer physical well-being, but ifs rhythm illettiCeS peace of mind., it Si perceptions, 12:::eause the man walling is close to the landsca p e and nature, which to the fast moving motorist is only a blur. The walker is an aware man and observing because if only he must watch where to set his foot whether hunting, hiking or or just plain walking.

Our thought for tod my: "To walk alone is to asses one's self.

To walk with another is to get to know him.

SPORTSMAN Our State r' Department has been doing a grcH contreling and restocking game for the hunting public and enforcing game laws and punishing poachers and night hunters who will Lill both bucks and does.

Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany killed about 3,500 of the ,animals in the course of his hunting career, But the "Champion' slaughterer of the ill was the 17th Century Elector of Saxony, John George; in 40 odd years of hunting he killed 31,902 tuskers, while his sporting son killed 22,298 -- Soul ,. sports, eh?

(dzc) (-I-"F,OGiZESS IN THE TREATMENT OF -HEART DISEASE AND CANCER Last year's development in the laboratory and in the operating room offreed new hope to thousands. For example, new laboratory findings strengthened the growing conviction that medical science may be edging closer to imvortant breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. And surgeons, with ingenious heart pumps and new techniques, continue to mount new and ever more successful attacks against crippling heart ailrnents.

For many years, scientists have been investigating the part viruses may play in causing cancer. During the past year scientists at the National Institutes of Health obtained a virus substance from t. ,Jst tube samples of cancer tissue. When injected into healthy animals, such as very young mice and hamsters, this substance produced 23 different types of highly ;!rialignant tumors, including those of the breast, skin and kidneys.

Experimenting further, the scientists found they could prevent these virusinduced tumors by injecting an immunizing agent prepared from the virus itself. Ninety-seven per cent of ommunized hampsters failed to develope tumors ;after inoculation with the tumor-producing virus. But, in a control group of unimmunized hamsters, 67 per cent developed tumors that proved fatal within five months.

How significant these animal experiments will he in relation to human cancer has yet to be determined. But, scientists report, if further investigations establish that certain cancers are indeed caused by viruses, then they will have made a very important advance rtgainst this deadly disease. Theoretically, it may even be possible in that event to develop a vaccine against cancer, At the some time, scientists got a vast new cancer-drug testing program under way last year, This pro gram is a massive effort by hospitals, universities, re• search laboratories, industry and government to discover chemical corn-

Strana 29 pounds that will be useful in fighting cancer. It was five years in the making.

More than 70,000 chemical compounds and other materials have already been put through an initial screening process; they will be used on more than a million mice to determine if they are anti-cancer in their action. Cancer experts state that about four to six hundred materials are now showing sufficient promise to be given intensive further analysis and testing.

Heart surgery has changed the outlook for many individuals with defective socalled "heart-plumbing" — either present at birth or caused by rheumatic fel;er. Prospects now are that even coronary diSease — caused by deposits and blood clots in the vessels supplying the heart muscle itself with blood nourisment — may be helped by heart surgery.

Several, new and simple-to-operate heart machines were reported during 1958. These take over the job of the heart during surgery, when the surgeon has the heart open to make repairs. As a result, surgeons are correcting badlyplaced blood vessels, narrowed openings, and scarred valves in the human heart.

Even artificial heart valves, made of plastic, are being used to replace their scarred counterparts. As a result, many who gasped for breath and slowly succumbed to the crippling effects of faulty hearts have been given a new chance for life.

Other developments in heart disease research include the discovery of a chemical — called plasmin — used to dissolve blood clots in human blood vessels Animal 'experitnents indicate it may be useful ultimately in human patients with heart attacks. A promising new drug — chlorothiazide — for the treatment of high blood pressure, also a major cause of heart disease, was first reported during 1958. Effective when used by itself, chlorothiazide increases the effectiveness of these drugs in the treatment of high blood pressure.

"That's a coincidence," he said. "I have seven children, too — three boys and four girls."

"Oh, schucks," said the man, as. he made an X for his signature. "If you count girls, I got thirteen."
