Ktomu ptistupovaly i hospodatske otazky, ktere ho rovnet hnetly. Napfed rozmySlel, ma-li v staveni Kvetoriove po nechati v najmu dtivejliho hospodate ei ma-1i mu dati vypoved' a z toho zase vysoukaly se jine otazky, ma-li se jit letos pustiti do spravek di ma-li podkati at na budouci rok.

A proto zdalo se mu pfiliS nelidske vyhnati z domu dtivejliho hospodate, a naopak ponechati ho v najmu, z toho nevychazelo nic dobreho. A proto kolisal a rozvatoval do nekonedna.

Potom ptiSly starosti, tYkajici se podminek a placeni. Oboji tato prace zaujimala vSecky jeho mySlenky, ano i v noci mu kazila spanek. A nasledkem toho dostavoval se u neho takovY neptijemny pocit unavy a pfetileni, to chvilemi litoval koupi a cele dni byl v o g -klive,mrzutie,nkd achzej pokoje.

Jsou to potadky na svete," taloval si Rajnoch a vSecek se ttas1 zoufalou bolesti, ktera ho dohanela k tak pfikrYm Progel se svetnici a kroky jeho dunely jako nad podemletYm biehem.

"Nerouhej se, musime snesti svilj kfit neni jine rady," povedela Rajnochova a znovu odbehla do svetnieky.

Za ni piisel mut s rukama do zadu slotenYma a s ptihnutYmi zady, jako by na nich spodivalo take biemeno.

"Synku, je eas, abys deal nejaky pokadek. Dej se zaopattit. Je to zvykem u nas, vykonat kiest'anskou povinnost.

Milin porozumel. Neptekvapil ho ani i;vrdY ptizvuk otcova hlasu, ba tim vice byl dojat a tesknYma odima pohlitel na staxostlive shrbenou siji otcovu.

"Kdyt chcete —" fekl potichu, ale litost odnekud z nejhlubg duke stoupala mu k hrdlu.

Po tech slovech ptiSe/ novY zachvat.— Starsr Rajnoch rychie odbehl do svetnice, vzal klobouk a rychie ubihal pro kneze. Matka chystala svice, bilY ubrus, sta,rotitnY dtevenY kfitek, a Kristka shle davala solnieku a klekatko pro kneze, ale nijak nemohla si na ty veci vzpomenouti a behala z kouta do kouta jako zmamena.

Milin sedel na tidli a ptidrtoval se operadla. Byl bled, pied nim na podlaze byla kalut Jame eervene krve.

"Nastane konec — agonie", rozlehlo se mu na mysli, a v hrdie mel takovY tetsviravST pocit, jako by ho vlastni krev dusila a zatarasovala mu dech.

Pohnul rukou, aby se pfesvedeil, je'ste lije, a hrozny, dosud neznamY strach projel mu dusi. Na eelo vyrazil mu pot studentmi krapejemi. Sabi si na eeelo a setiel krfmeje, ale v tom ruce jeho sklesly doh).

"Nyni jia opravdu nastane konec," byla jeho mySlenka, po nit chvili Septal modlitbu, ktera mu ptiSla na mysl, ale hned ztratil vedomi a nepocit'oval nideho Nevedel ani, ze ho ulotili na lote, jenom se mu zdalo, to se ho nekdo dotYka, jako by ho hiadil — a vskutku byly to mateiny ruce, jet ho tak nettle hladily po studenem dele.

V tom probudil jej hlas zvonku, jent se opet ztratil jako ye vzdalene mlze. Do dveti vkroeil duchovni hubeneho oblieeje, s lysinou na temene, obleden v bilou rochetku, a s nim staiy kostelnik On diej.

"Zda se mi, to je pozde. Mohu mu tollko udeliti posledni pomazo.ni," tekl k domo.cim, ktefi s bazni pozorovali Militia i duchovniho.

The Way of the Life Insurance Dollar The American people added $1.33 to their "nest egg" in life insurance and other accumulated long-term savings in 1958 for every dollar of their net increase in debt to buy homes, cars and goods and services during the year.

This was the best such showing in the post-World War II period excluding the reconversion year of 1946 as still under a wartime hilinence. And the 1958 increase of nearly $13 billions in accumulated long-term savings of individuals as accomplished by the Home Loan Bank Board , was exceeded in the past in only three years during World War n, when savings reached abnormally high levels under the combined stimulus of patriotism and consumer goods shortages.

The 1957-58 recession array have tended to spur people to put a little soinething extra aside for their future protection and security. At the same time, personal debt did show a sizeable in crease last year, amounting to over $13 billions, to bring the total to just under $190 billions.

But, all the facts considered, the 1958 record on the savings borrowing front provides a fresh demonstration of how deeply ingrained is the people's thrift habit and of the prudence with which the average person makes his spending and savings decisions. This is of particular significance in view of the inflationary atmosphere which has prevailed in recent years.

A bigger "nest egg," of course, is a confidence-breeder of the first magnitude, giving people a greater feeling of independence and security. Savings likewise help to fight inflation and to preserve the dollar's buying power, of vital importance in view of the continued strength of the underlying inflationary pressures and the concern this has aroused over the future.

Savintis, in addition, are also the dynamic factor in economic growth and national progress, providing the major part of the capital and investment funds which the nation needs to go ahead and to help meet the military-economic challenge of the Communist world. Data compiled by the Life Insurance Association of America discloses that funds flowing into the capital market from the people's thrift institutions and corporate pension funds have more than tripled in the last decade, increasing from an aggregate of $7.2 billions in 1948

VESTNilt — WEST, TEXAS to an estimated $24.4 billions lest year.

As a result, these savings sources met almost 60 per cent of the 1958 demand for funds to meet public and private' credit and investment needs as against only 40 per cent or less in the late Forties and early Fifties.

The figures show that accumulated long-term savings of indisiduals in life insurance, savings accounts, savings and loan associations, and current redemption value of U.S. Savings Bonds owned by individuals, increased by an estimated $17.8 billions during 1958 to reach a total of just under $277 billions at the year-end. )•

Are Teenager More Interested In Newspapers Than TV? Greater interest in newspapers and less in TV, was expressed by teen-agers surveyed by the Gilbert Youth Center.

Eugene Gilbert, president of the Center, reported that 52 per cent of teenagers said they were spsnding more time reading newspapers than they had before.

An analysis of the survey by Texas Press Messenger stated: "Gilbert also noted a decline of interest in TV. He found that 41 per cent said they spent less time watching television than they had the previous year.

Twenty-nine per cent had cut down on their radio listening. Only 12 per cent had cut down on their newspaper reading.

"Forty-three per cent had increased their radio listening, but only 28 per cent were watching more television.

"Comparing newspapers, TV and radio, the teenagers felt newspa pers had the most practical value. They said newspapers were the most dependabl , the most important in keeping them to date and the most helpful with homework. They also gave newspapers credit for carrying the most belielv,able ads.

"A Detroit youngster put it this way: `I can't conceive of a complete day with out reading the news.' "nip youths reported that in seven categories they depend on newspapers for their information, rather than on radio or television. These categories were — Sports, national, international, local, teen-age, school sports and entertainment news.

Best-liked newspaper departments were local, national and world news, comics, cartoons and sports — in that order.

Elders Rate High In Individual Policies The proportion of persons in the 65and-over age group who have individual health insurance policies is greater than the national average of all age groups for such protection, reports the Health Insurance Institute.

A nationwide consumer survey health insurance, conducted by the National Analysts of Philadelphia, and just published by the institute, showed that 23 per cent of the population 65 and over, or 3.5 million persons, were protected against the costs of accident and sickness by individual health care policies. This percentage does not include those persons covered only under group health insurance programs.

When the survey data were collected in November 1957, it was found that some 35 per cent of the persons 65 and over had individual or group health insurance coverage. By the end of 1958, the Institute estimated that more than 40 per cent of senior citizens were protected by health insurance.

In the individual health policy field, the 23 per cent coverage figure for the 65-and-over age bracket surpassed. the 22 per cent figure for the over-all population of the U.S. Some 38 million Ameri cans were covered by individual policies, the Institute said.

Still further improvements in the number of senior citizens who have insurance is presaged by the growth and development of new programs aimed specifically at the 65-and-over field, laccording to a statement by the Institute.

In less than 18 months, these insurance company programs limited to persons 65 and over have been introduced into more than one-third of the nation's 49 states. Similar and more numerous plans almost certainly will be spread to other states in the near future, predicts the Institute. ) • •( Robert and Elaine had been quarreling. After supper their mother tried to get them to make up. She told them of the Bible verse, "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath."

Robert squirmed a little. Then asked, "Well, how can I stop it?"

The report of our attorney, Brother August. Kacir, followed. It was specially mentioned that loans in the amount of $.640,000 have been handled.

WEST, TEXAS GIRLS: must have been fromi the warmth of a cozy room on a rainy day that Robert Louis Stevenson penned "The rain is raining all around, it falls on. fields and trees; it's raining on umbrellas here and ships upon the seas," for as I write this to you today by the fire to take the chill out of this gray day, it's raining and my irise in their perfect- blooms are swaying in the wind beneath my window to add a slash of color to the different greens of my lawn, hedge and newly sprouted trees. It's very restful and one is at peace with the Universe.

The last of the 'daffodils and the gold en forthas (golden bells) have bid us goodbye for another year, the last of the I violets too, .are demurely nodding their bonneted faces in: farewell until later, while again the climbing Blaze and and Paul's Scarlet roses on the fence have burst forth in their showy red and the stately, long budded Talisman rose too, is revealing the indescribable beauty of its bud opening. It's a joyous time among the flowers, tending the seedand water E: each plant unfold I know that many of You who dig in e garden, too are enjoying these defitful moments in. your flowers as I

his is the time to decide about those ms. Many of them are weedy and in poor condition with bare spots in them, and we start dreading the thought of having to uproot all of those vast lawn area for a new seed bed. Well, it used to be considered that this was the only thing to do. However, experienced ! nur se=ryrrien have proved that most lawns can be improved through a relatively simple progiarn . ith out rip ping up the old lawn and star ag all over.

In this proms you work from the top and do no digging, although you do scarify the soil in bare spots so that the seeds will find good lodging.

Wednesday, April 15, 1959 First, feed your grass. A good liquid plant food soaked in will do it. If the soil needs lime, lime it. Next, supplement the existing grass with, a good quality of seed, using only half as much seed over the existing grass to the full rate over the bare spots. Keep both the old and new grass growing with monthly feeding, well soaked in, keep the lawn wet down daily until the new grass is growing well. Water as much as you can during the dry periods, but it must be in sufficient amounts so that it will reach the grass roots. Light watering of grass is worse than none at all, for it promotes mildew in your lawn and brown spots appear. Then too, it encourages the grass roots to grow upward to reach the light watering and they in turn dry out quicker during the summer heat.

Set your mower blade high until the new grass gets started. This will probably mean setting it at 2 inches for the first few weeks then at about 1 1/2 inches thereafter.

All the care given your lawn will be for nothing unless you eliminate grubs from the sod. To do this buy some Chlordane, Arsenate of Lead or a product especially designed to grub-proof your lawn. For low spots in your lawn, fill in with a good top soil. It might be a good time now to check up on your sulphur supply for spreading on the blackland lawns for those "chiggers." Sulphur is also good for mildew on your climbing roses, particularly the "Seven Sisters" variety Which are heavily covered with mildew at the height of their blooming, unless sprayed. A beautiful lawn is as beautiful a setting to a home as a nice frame is to a picture. Once your lawn gets growing, the weeds will choke out and the maintenance will be much easier.

Girls, I ran across a delightful "dip" the other day made from a can of onion soup, cream cheese, the Philadelphia type and some sour cream, blended together to go with potato chips, fritos, for your next party. It was pleasantly different.

V ESTNIX WEST, TEXAS carefully the enteries were checked and double-checked to tally out the high scores. Mr. Joe Holasek by an overwhelming majority will assume the Mayor's office the last of April, together with his two new City Commissioners, Messrs. Emmett Barton and Elo Zatopek.

The well wishes of the whole community go to these three new officers for continued progress and welfare of our pretty town of West and its surrounding affected area. To the outgoing officers go the community's heartfelt "Thank You."

Fro en an almost bankrupt condition twenty years ago, West has prospered under the guiding hand of their 20year mayor Mr. George Ka.cir and his city officials , end with Mr. Kacir retaining the office of City Attorney, Mayor Holasek with his new cabinet will have a staunch ally in the continued population growth of our city.

Your Editor and I were caught up in this election enthusiasm, in fact everyone was, it couldn't have missed anyone and we couldn't help but marvel, your editor and I, at the wonderful way the contenders for the vacancies conducted themselves and their campaign, like Christian people. There wasn't the least bit of mud slinging as witnessed in our big city elections.

The District Meetings are now coming up in the immediate future as you can see by the Vestnik calendar.

Needless to re-emphasize, the sisterhood, has made these Meetings so successful with their never ending responsibilities of feeding the crowds that attend these District Meetings, and supervising the Youth activities of the individual ledges as well as the Districts in the brotherhood.

It has been most revealing how much more interesting the monthly meetings of many of our so called slee ping lodges halve become since the sisters took the initiative to attend lbdge meetings. The youngsters, too, have Shown much latent talent on the children's program given in the various lodges in observance of such occasions as: Valentine Day, Easter Mother's Day, Father's Day, Fourth of July etc. Thanks to the sisters, these youngsters have been able to form their own Youth Clubs and Teen-Age Clubs where their cultural unfoldment has been such an eye-opener to their parents and lodge members as well. Let's keep up this wonderful work among our youth!

Our little town of West had its most exciting election in twenty years, April 7. The contenders for the three offices: the mayou's office and two city cornn4issioners, were keenly contested, and the populace was urged to pay their Poll Taxes so they could vote. Yesterday many old folks who ordinarily don't come into town during the week were seen being brought in by cars to the In closing, I must mention the passing polls. The excitement ran high and by the time seven o'clock rolled around, of one of West's wonderful women. She crowds gathered in the dusk around was Mrs. Frank Moucka. Mr. Moucka, the City Hall to await the outcome. Very you will remember was the Editor of

Strana 19 your Vestnik for many years, and his good wife stood as an inspiration to his work and to the handsome family rapidly maturing into young men and women.

We escorted Mrs. Moucka to her final resting place yesterday, April 7th. amid hosts of relatives and friends. Beautiful Requien Mass was sung in the Catholic Church in West.

It is only when a person leaves his place in the family that one learns of the deeds which were left behind as memories. And so it was with Mrs. Marie Moucka, lovingly known as 'Aunt Mary' that we learned in full rapport just what this community lost in this fine lady. ro her bereaved family and friends go our sincere sympathy.

To you dear girls, go my best wishes for a fine weekend. Drive carefully and stay beautiful.

Fraternally, The Editor's Wife LODGE POKROK DALLAS, NO. 84

Dear Members and Friends, Several reports of the District III meeting held at Lodge No. 84 have already been printed in the Vestnik. There fore we will not review it in this letter.

Several activities are planned for the coming months. First, there is to be a dance Saturday evening, April 18.

Then, on Sunday, April 19, we will have our monthly meeting. The business and discussions at these meetings are always so interesting and we do have a wonderful conference roan in which to I meet, so what better conditions could exist to tempt one and all to attend?

Also, after the meeting we will have Family Night with food, games and visiting. Many members Who had not attended a Family Night previously, have mentioned what a wonderful time they had. So, if you have not been to one of these come see what you have been missing all this time!

May seems to be a month, of dances at our lodge as there are three scheduled.

The first, on Saturday May 2. Then another on Saturday, May 16. And finally, a Special Dance, the baseball benefit dance, on Saturday May 30. We hope Each of you will be able to attend one if not all of these dances.

time and effort.

The Entertainment Committee has planned a "Tackey Dance" for Saturday, June 13. This one should really be a lot of fun. Of course, everyone, dress real tackey We are mentioning this now so you all can be planning what to wear. Everyone is always so nicely dressed at our regular dances, that it might take some doing to think up a "tacky costume." Anyway, it promises to bring plenty of fun and laughs. By the way, this dance is free.

In the last few issues of the Vestnik, there has been mentioned and outlined the plans for our District III Youth Day to be held at Lodge No. 84 on Sunday, June 28. There is something that can be done by your child in any age group, between the ages of 1 and 19. So, read this outline carefully and prepare your child or children to enter the crafts or talent contests.

There, will also be a Queen of District III announced. Of course, we are very proud of our princess selection, Princess Betty Staglik. Betty, we wish you all the luck in the, world and want you to know your lodge is behind you.

We hope to see each and everyone of you during the months to follow.

Fraternally, Frances Balej,a, HelenPokladnik, Asst. t_ )• JOTJRDANTON, LODGE NO. 161 DearRe iaders, Our regular meeting was held Sunday April 5th and though the attendance could have been larger it was without a doubt the most orderly meeting we have had. We began with the Pledge of Allegience, then went into the business at hand. First off was the voting for ov against enlarging our hall -- this was clone by secret ballot and passed for enlarging the hail by a big majority. It was turned over to Brother Charlie Novosad to get the figures on expenses and see to the job. Next we discussed plans for the District meeting. When this was finished, a new subject concerning the youth of our Lodge was introduced. It was pointed out that unless we provide entertainalent at home for them they will g0 elsewhere and not be interested in attending the meetings — a suggestion Was made that they be allowed to have teen age dances at the Hall and the profit to go toward buying equipment for their enjoyment — such as a Ping Pong table, Volley Ball net and things of that sort. It was voted on and passed. When the first dance is announced, anyone wishing to be a chaperone or to help in the kitchen please contact 'Mrs. Betty Novosad, Ben-

•

nie V,alchar or Katherine Marek, need your help and. co-operation make this venture a success. Before the meeting a small Easter party was held for the children and although. the group was small, a good time was had by all.

I want to thank Edith Zezula and Bennie Volchar for entertaining the children, Mrs. Gus Novosad for the delicious cakes she baked. And Mrs. Walter Pivonka for helping to serve. A prize of one dollar was donated by Mrs. Pivonka and won by Scot Hollartd a visitor and a• 50c prize donated by Mrs. Rose Ermis and won by Leonard Ennis. Next year, we hope to be better organized and hold our Easter party earlier. For those of you that missed it, we are sorry, hope you can make it next time.

Two things I almost forgot concerning our meeting the price of dance tickets at the hall was brought up. It was decided that children up to 12 years old' do not pay. From 12 to 14 it will be' 25c and after 14 the regular price. Although some of our little ones do as much daneing as the big ones, mine included.

Also at our meeting we welcom d a new member and his family, Mr. Graham Miller and his three children are all new members. We hope they, along with his wife, Doris, continue to attend the meetings. Graham is added to the list of 42 players and most welcome. I don't b' hove I mentioned when Lloyd House become a ale:alio-en Lloyd and Betty are both members we can count on to help out and are the most welcome kind. Well I guess I have covered about ,everythina Don't forget, we need all our members to help at the District Meeting. And don't forget our prizes.

I am a SPJST member for eighteen years. Our daughter is a lifetime member of nineteen years. I wish I could really write good poetry. The enclosed article is some expressions of my heart for my mother-in-law, who passed away in February. I wish it to be published when you have the space to insert it.

Thank you, Sincerely yours, Mrs. Bill Pekar Rt. 1, Box 12 Damon, Tex. Editor's Note: We remember with love

Wedne,sda.y, April 15, 1959 your good mother and her hospitality. n Memory of Our Dear Mother Mrs. Vine Pekar

By Mrs, Bill Pekar After having a good cry.

I was forced to say goodbye.

Through tears blind me to fear, Yet, Mother, you are still very near; On wings of love you sped away Still you're with me in Spirit today Nothing turned in your heart that did not turn in mine; You gave me your wisdom, your love, and your time; You spoke my language, you understood me I shall try to live up to the confidence you, had in me.

Some seek riches and fame.

I only seek to be true to my name.

Only God knows how much you're missed, Now you are among the Blessed; I only wish I could give as much as you've given, My accomplishment will only be known in Heaven.

When you spoke your last words to me, it made me sad; But with these words t comfort Dad. Your name we whisper in worship, It cheers us in trial and hardship.

Now, from us, no one can take you; Now, sorrow and pain cannot overtake you.

If in Heaven there is such a thing as prayer, We know you are praying for us there.

In life I loved You, in !death I love you still; YOU and daddy gave me everything in life when you gave me Bill.

Together, after our task on earth is done; After our life's victory is won; You'll welcome us, in Heaven, by and by: Then these glorious words we shall sing, "Oh, Death, where is thy sting?

Oh, grave, where is they victory?" )• •( DEAR SISTER PETR: Would it be possible for us to get a picture of Pokrok No. 84 Princess Staglik on slick paper for the Vestnik.

The• Editor

Wednesday, April 15, 1959 COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 West, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, and Friends, There was no meeting held at our Lodge the first Sunday of the month of April, (April 5). Just the dues were collected and credited and only a few members showed up. Our president, Brother Joseph Janecka and his wife our lodge secretary, Sister Marie, were unable to be present due to the work that had to be done at their home place after the tornado had destroyed some of their buildings and tore up the shingles on their home. They have been busy as can be repairing and working ever since the disasterous day. Some of our brothers and friends of our lodge have helped with the repairs and cleaning up and Brother Janecka and his wife wish to convey to those "Many thanks" from the bottom of their hearts to everyone who helped for it was deeply appreciated.

After seeing the tornado path area that passed through the communities of Vaughan and Bynum, it gives a person a funny feeling, a scary feeling, and now every time clouds start building up we start wishing we had a "hale" to crawl into, a cellar, as the next few months are to be the storm period, so, why not build yourself a cellar. It doesn't take long to build one or have one built and doesn't cost so much, no more than other things we buy, the sense of security would mean so much after you had one. You will always have a safe place to go, and you and your loved ones, especially the crildren.

The reason I am writing all of this is because I know how it is. I used to feel this way, then we just made a cellar just two weeks ago, and I am not scared any more, but I do feel scared for those who do not have one. I hope everyone will give this some thought.

Our next meeting will be held the first Sunday of next month May 3rd at 1:30 p.m. Please renember the date, brothers and sisters. We would like to discuss our plans for our next lunch in June and picnic in July.

Fraternally yours, Ruth Krizan )° ° WACO SPJST LODGE NO. 66 Dear Brothers and Sisters: The regular meeting of SPJST Lodge 66 was held on Sunday, April 5, 1959 at Linden Hall in Ehn Mott with President Brother Ed Mazanec presiding.

Club in San Antonio, before you will read more from our reporter and probably from older You! h. Club member,* too.

The month of March was a very busy one. As you already know, Lodge San Antonio No. 133 celebrated its 42nd anniversary and had a big Picnic on March 22 at the Commanche Park. Since that Sunday was "Palm Sunday" and the weather was a tic , cool, we expected a rather small turnout, but we experienced a fair attenda rice nevertheless.

Everything came out just fine because we have a group of interested and hard working officers who are dedicated to !furthering the principles of our Brotherhood with a firm belief in truth, liberty, equality and justice to all.

Our Youth CL :b had three of the most popular games "Gift Wheel," "Dart game" and "Penny P itch." Marilyn Strobel and Carolyn Valls were very suecessful operating the "Gift Wheel', where everybody was admiring skilfully dressed dolls, small and big rabbits as well as nice decorated Easter baskets filled with eggs and candies, giving to the booth a real Easter spirit.

The teenage girls who helped to make the booth look very rich and attractive were Bonnie Cheves, ,To Anna Seabers, Marilyn Strobel, Carolyn Valis, Alice Vollrr%er and JaPatricia, Wilhelm. Wilbur Hoger donated all-plastic model sport planes, also sister Emmie P. Ersch made a beautiful doll and Mrs. Ursula Giambernardi brought a pair of pollow eases. Many thanks to you, girls and ladies, for the pretty things.

LODGE 133, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Dear Readers, At the last regular monthly meeting of the SPJST Lodge 133 San Antonio the youth club officers were presented with beautiful SPJST pins. They were sent to us through the courtesy of Mr. J. B. Hejny. I would therefore like to thank him for his kindness. In addition to the, pin. I also received a wonderful letter of congratulations from Mr. Hejny in regards to my winning $45 in the point contest for which I am very thank ,ful.

It was certainly a pleasure working witni the SPJST during the past year and I feel that with everyone's cooperation the year 1959 will be even more prosperous.

JUST BOYS Edgar A. Guest There are men our glorious country will be needing later on; At the moment they are youngsters and their names are known to more. They possess the seeds of greatness; they're equipped for life complete, but they'll miss the way of manhood if we leave them to the street.

They are full of fun and mischief; there are twinkles in their eyes; From their numbers in the future some to fame will surely rise.

But they need our friendly coaching for the tasks they're going to meet, and it isn't safe to leave them to the hazards of the street.

They'll be doctors lawyers preachers with a little friendly aid; With encouragefrnent and training they'll bring skill to every trade.

We can fit them for the future, on the right path set their feet, But we'll throw away their talents if we leave them to the street.

Dear Sisters and Brothers, We played our first practice game of the season Sunday April 5 and came out on the short end of the score, 3 to 1.

We played Friedman Steel who seem to have a good club. This being our first game, the team actually played a good game defensively. We did look weak at bat as we only got one hit and that was by Jack Moffitt. Wes Jaska, our new hurler pitched a very good game as did Frank Mach III who relieved him.

Tuesday night, April 7th, we played another practice game and our opponent was Titehes, one of the tea.ps in our regular league. We defeated tirein by a score of 9 to 1 and in this game we began to hit. Not only that, though some of the fellows didn't get any hits, they were hitting the ball real good which was very encouraging. Also, the team looked good defensively as only one error was committed. Our infield play, to date, has really been outstanding, featuring Ted Dusek Jr. on first, Don Faires on second, Robert Huggins at shortstop and Don Hanks at third base. Also our last year's regular second baseman Albin (Bino) Vra,na has been on the ailing list and hasn't had a chance to workout as yet. We will also have g good outfield made up from some of the following players, Raymond Smith Jody Rejcek, Frank Mach II, Willie Rejcek, Joe Jacolik, Gary Huteclason, Raymond Marek and Jack Moffett. Our catching will be handled by Allen Dunn and Wilbur Munger. Our pitchers will be Wes Jaska and Frank Mach III who have been looking pretty good so far and who should both improve as the season progresses. Jim Scoggins, who

Wednesday, April 15, 1951 was our pitcher the past four seasons may also play with us, however he has finished his school work at SMU, has an Engineering Degree, and is now working for a construction firm and be will spend a lot of time on the road. We would like to have Jim on the team again this year.

Was jaska really hurled a good ganas Tuesday night, allowing only 3 scattered hits. He seems to get better each time he steps on the mound. Leading hitters in our practice games were Robbert Huggins and lien Jarma with two hits apiece. The only healer of the game was hit b y Ben Jann a., his first of the season and probably his last. The team as a whole looked real good and with continued improvement, we shall have an interesting team this coming season.

We play a practice game Friday night against the 49th Tank B:atallion and another one Sunday afternoon against the .1ffiliated Foods team at Samuels Diamond No. 2. After these two games we should be ready to start the league play Our first league game will be Wednesday night, April 15 at Samuels Diary/end No. 1, and our opponent will be Republic Insurance, game time 7:30 p.m This is the first game and Titches plays Jones-Blair Paint in the second league game starting at 8:45 p.m. or immediately following our game. Then on Wednesday night, April 22, we will play Titche Goettinger, the second game starting at 8:45 p.m. Our games will all be played at Samuels Diamond No. 1 this season. The name of the league is the Northern League and is composed of 1. SPJST Fraternal Ins. 2. Titche Goettingere 3. Republic Ins. Co. 4. JonesBlair Paint.

So until my next writeup, we hope to be seeing a lot of you at our games.

We will deeply appreciate your attendance and support at all our games this season. First league goaae, Wednesday, APril 15, time 7:30 p.m. at Samuels No 1, our opponent — Republic Insurance.

Sports Column

OTTO L. HOSEK DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Readers and Sportsmen: This time I will give you a little condensed history on a small town in Colorado. Unlike a lot of small western settlements, this one impressed me a lot — maybe the name had a lot to do with it or it could have been the hospitality, the surroundings or just the citizens of the Kit Carson, Colorado, nal nesake of the famous plainsman and Indian scout. Our party of four was returning home from Wyoming after a successful hunt for ,antelope deer and elk and we decided to take a different route in order to see different parts of the country and new scenery. Our main reason though was to switch into the state of Kansas by way of Lamar, Colo.

Garden City Kansas and visit Dodge City and later Wichita, those two famous frontier towns, famous for their cattle drives, gunslingers, saloons and other frontier history and legend. so vividly brought out by the movie industry and later television.

Like I said before, a friendly western spirit greets the traveler in Kit Carson, and it is abundant with Indian lore and "soaked" with pioneer history and accomplishments of its leading citizens, scouts, plainsman, buffalo hunters and "bad men?"

Kit Carson is located on the Union Pacific railroad, U.S. Highways 40 and 287 and Colorado Highway 59. and has modern motels, a good hotel and other modern establishments and service stations. This is where "Kit" operated a trading post for travelers, hunters and wagon trains and it was this town where there were located many of the early stage companies and commercial trading outfits. Outfitters for the freighting ccoopardes and immigration trains were many and eye-witnesses of that day reported there were piles of equipment, hides, supplies and wagon parts. The language there was predominently Mexican in 1838.

Strana, 27 The commission houses of Otero, Sellees, Chick Brown, Webster and Cuniffle, handled goods from the east for shipment by wagon train to Ft. Lyons, Ft. Rend and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Kit Carson was a flourishing frontier :own even before it became the tereriinus for the Kansas Pacific railroad in 1870.

In these pioneer days on the frontier, Indians attacks and violence were common anil part of the life in the "Lawless West." Endless other stories could be written about important happenings in this town and its citizens. A lot of these stories are recorded antli preserved in the town's records and history, other are told as they were passed on by the old timers. i Some Recorded True Incidents On May 14, 1870, 46 men working on the railroad were killed by Indians.

May 17, 1870, a railroad water tank east of Kit Carson 'was destroyed by the Indians. Three companies of U.S. Cavalry were stationed at Kit Carson and more were sent to be placed under ':he comnsand of General Custer, who later met ill fate in the battle of Little Big Horn. Privates under General Custer received $13.00 a month.

Milton H. Straight was hanged from the railroad bridge at Carson, by a mob of 75 men July 30, 1870 and believe it or not, the town, on Dec. 7, 1871, was surrounded by thousands of buffalo.

Grand Duke Alexis of Russia hunted buffalo in Kit Carson on Jan. 20, 1872.

He was the first in the party to kill a buffalo and in his excitement hugged and kissed General Custer his escort and guide on this hunt. That day "Alex" slhot five, Custer three and General Sheridan two.

On Feb. 17, 1872, state law provided a penalty for killing livestock by railroads. The rate was: Texas yearlings $7.

Two-year-olds $12, three-year-olds $16, American yearlings $12, two-year-olds $22, three-year $30.

The regular army stationed 100 men here permanently on March 19, 1872, In 1870 Kit Carson was a boisterous town of saloons, gambling and dance halls. Almost every adult man had two six guns hanging on his gun beltand ready to use them if he felt the urge or provocation be it an argument or unfair play at the poker table. There were also guns for Titre and other lawless elements which go with a lawless frontier town and its vices.

The modern Kit Carson trade territory now consists of an area 30 by 38 miles or about 600,000 acres of excellent cattle and grain ranches, operated by 145 or so rural families. Many herds of

Strana 28 high grade and registered cattle now graze the grass-covered prairies taken over from the antelope and buffalo herds.

Many hurtfreds of carloads of wheat — grain sorghum and sudan and hundreds of carloads of cattle are shipped annually from Kit Carson over the rail roads which was so ,plagued by the Cheyenne Indians during its building.

Yes when you stand in one of those saloons with your boot on the brass rail you can almost see history all around you at the tables and the characters themselves even though they may be travelers or tourists themselves. To enjoy a setting like this, one must resort some to his imaginations and live in the atmosphere of the past generations.

"Something for the Rifleman" I never like to recommend to the general hunting public specific calibers nor bullet weights on various types of game animals as lots of us like myself have our own prefehences and experiences in our years of hunting. A great majority of us agree that how well you place your shots sometimes counts more than the type of rifle you own be it fancy, expensive or scope-sighted. I've seen hunters give a wonderful account of thems:lves with their 30-30's that were handed down from grandpa to father and to son.

Please do not sell the Winchester 3030 short as it probably killed more deer, coyotes, wolves and other game than all other calibers combined. Probably the most widely known sporting cartridge ever manufactured is the Winchester 30-30 introduced in 1894.

The popularity of the 3030 grew rapidly from the start. The r, ,t son for this acclaim was the fact that it ushered in the era of the high powered game cartridge. It was the first widely used game cartridge to be loaded with smokeless powder, Winchester did, however, load a few of the 30-30's with black powder.

The 30-30, soon after its introduction was used to take large as well as small game on the American continent. But it is not a large game cartridge as has been proved and has gradually been replaced by more powerful cartridges for lcng-range on bear, elk, moose, and other heavy game animals.

The 30-30 is still the choice of a large percentage of deer hunters for its compactness and fast lever action and its choice of two weights of bullets. The 170 and the 150 grain loads.

The 170 for better brush hunting and the 150 grain for more velocity in open, country and canyon shooting.

Rifles still being chambered for that

cartridge are the Winchester Model 1894 carbine, Wenchester Model 64, Marlin 36A, and Marlin 36 Carbine and the Savage 325.

I'll keep my 94 as long as I hunt and still enjoy running a few hulls thru it when I want to sharpen up with open sights and fast action snap shooting.

Fellows keep yours and some day they will become valuable collector's items with history of 3, rifle that came with the west.
