"I was told that everybody should pay his taxes with a smile," reported George Wolfe, returning from the Income Tax office. "I tried it, but, they demanded cash."

"I admire youl To stop smoking required a will of iron."

"Yes, and that is just what my Wife has."

It is better to sty a good thing about a bad fellow — than to say a bad thing about a good fellow.

Rad bych zvedel zdali ten kostel tarn jests mail, co jsme posledne slygeli ad rodiny je tomu asi 12 let.

Byl tenkY, vysokY, s podlouhlou tvaki, s chladnYma rybima odima, bezvYrazne sedicima v hustYch, paprskovitYch rasach.

A zatim shodil s krku tu starost a vyhledl oknem.

Obloha svetle se na neho rozesmala, v zahradach bylo u pino prudkeho slunce, a on se tu dusil ye tmave dike, ktera se spige hodila pro mygi. Ano, pro mygi by to bylo dobre.

StrYc Patak o tom se rozesnil. To byla vIecka jeho prace v late; chodit na houby a loviti ryby. Nosival oboji pies hory do mesta, ulethi penes ,na podzim nakoupil zemakt a pomalu doekal se jara, al se suet otevrel. Lidi se stranil a miloval samotu. Lida mu zhorkli.

Byl hotov k poledni. Myslil, Ic Notar pribehne domt a le pak piajdou. Notara nebylo. Zavolal na neho do jeho 11. Nikdo se neozval. Byl nucen dekati: Zatim yIak vyndal sve sticky no raky, spravil je a myslil a lelkoval pod samY veder .

Chtel ul souseda podastovat, ale vzpo mnel si, Ic koupil kotalku Edugovi a le mu ji musi potaji vstrdit, aby ho Beta nevidela.

"Vyhledl jsem si v jezere Itiku. Odvali p111 Pata kila Moh' bys jit se mnou — nadehnat mi ji. Vyjdem' si z rana povida Patak a hlas se mu 'Jose codasti, jakoby probe byl vytahl kokist.

"A prod ne, Ra j du," slibil mu Notar.

"Tod je tab dobte," odrekl Patak a zase se ztratil do sveho koutku.

Notar odeSei pobesedovat k EduIoyi.

Podal mu pod rukou etvrt'ak. EduS jej zastroil do koutku pod svou truhlarakou lavici a rty se mu po ni labudne ttasly.

Notat mel jeSte u sebe penize. Odpodital Si na tabak, ostatek p010111 na stul. Stra voval s EduSem, Ill ovSem nuzne, ale prece- si chvalil, Ic poji neco tepleho a ma, pri torn poradek.

Beta sedela v koute se 'Stepanem phi male lampici. Vypletali lidle. Kdyl Notar pololil penize no stül, vzala je a odeSla do kramu nakoupit na zittek. A EduS shYbl se pro et yrt'ak, rozevrel tsta a poeasto yal se.

With the coming of spring planting, Texas farmers were reminded today that while the Pair Labor Standards Act permits children of any age to work in farms after school land during vacation, it prohibits farm work by children under 16 during school hours.

This reminder comes from William J. Rogers, Regional Director of the' U.S. Department of Labors Wage and Hour and Public Contacts Divisions, the agency which 'administers the Act. He said that the child-labor provisions apply to local youngsters and children of migratory workers alike. The only exception to the law is in the case of children working exclusively for their parents or legal guardian, he added.

To make sure of the 'age of any young worker he hires, the farmer should ask for and obtain an age certificate. These certificates, which serve 'as proof of age for purposes of the Act, can be obtained in Texas for the Texas Employment Commission, as a public service.

The child-labor provisions apply to farmers whose crops go either directly or indirectly into interstate or foreign commerce. Mr. 'Rogers pointed out that farmer must observe the law if he has reason to believe that his crops — either in their original form or processed—will eventually cross state lines. Additional Information about the 'application of the Act to children working on farms can be obtained from. the Wage and Hour Division. Office in Dallas, Ft. Worth Houston, San Antonio, or El Paso.

District Six Meets In Moravia Once again the Editor and wife visited District Six, Sunday, April 19, at Moravia, Texas, where the District held its spring meeting. The last such meeting was held in Hillje, Texas.

A light rain was falling early Sunday as the Editor left West and he was dubious about a successful meeting in such muddy weather, but the farther one traveled south the brighter the sky and when the Hall at Moravia was reached the sun was shining down upon the gathering in all its glory.

Texas at this, time of the year is beautiful. When we hit the crossroad at Bastrop, a panorama of wildflowers carpeted ditches and pastures. The Blue Bonnets, Red Indian Paint Brushes , and Pink Buttercups were everywhere in profusion, a sight to behold. Added, to this the blooming vegetation in that part of the country too added to the cheerfulness of the trip. Trees, shrubs and tire Red Paul Scarlet Roses were adding their splash of color to that of the wildflowers to cast its magic spell upon the travler.

We arrived at Moravia with cars coming in frond all sides very quickly as the hour of the meeting was fast approaching. After a few handshakes of greeting, cf exchanging well wishes of health and happiness with friends we had not seen for so long, and. ones just met, Bro. Frank Olsovsky rapped for order.

Having taken our seats, Brother Olsovsky turned the meeting over to Brother Hlozek, District VI President.

Pretty Jean Sykora, Queen of District 6 for 1958, welcomed everyone with an address in English.

Brother Hlozek asked us to pay our respects to the departed members in the District since the last District Meeting with a minute's standing prayer.

Then the Youth, under the direction of Sister Elsie Breska, presented their predominately Czech program.

Teen-age and handsome, Master of Ceremonies, Robert Schwarts, announced the numbers, presented the participants in Czech which he mastered surprisingly well.

Then quickly followed the numbers one after another, beginning with Jeanette T-rlica, who• welcomed everyone to "Moravii Mile." (Dear Moravia).

The beloved "Pisnicka Ceska" was sung by Mary Ellen Hrncir, Julia Hermis, Katy Matas, Jeanette Triica and Diane Darilek, and were accompanied by Mrs.

Hilda Hyman on the piano. Mrs. Hyman is a local schoolteacher who volunteered her services and on the accordion by pretty Janete Urecek. the "Satecek Dmce",coaeposed of six' boys and girls in couples accompanied on the piano were the young ladies mentioned above with the following young men: Tony Darilek, Joe Hermis , Leroy Rybak, Daniel Spies, Kenneth Darilek and Patrick Hrncir, to give us this "Handkerchief Dance."

A recitation "What Mother Stanch For" in honor of the forthcoming Mother's Day, the young ladies citing the 'qualities which Mother is no generously: endowed and is so loved, was given by the six young ladies mentioned above. A personal gift was preseOted to one visiting mother at this time.

Lovely Jeanette Urecek played the beloved Spanish song "The Swallows" on her accordion followed by a Czech skit with Tony Darilek as the "sedlak," Julia Hermia as the "selka," and Joe .

The "Maruska Polka" on the accordion

Another dance "Pasacka" by all of the young boys and girls was presented next to bring the program to a close.

The Youth Program directors were then introduced: Mrs. Matus, Miss Hymen, Mrs. Breska, after which silverhaired Mrs. Breska was given a, SPJST gold pin in recognition for her work among the youth in this dirstrict. Inasmfich as Mrs. Breska is still active, when many - of the sisterhood in her years are long since retired from active lodge work, she was honored for her sacrifice of her own comfort, for her work.

The reading of the minutes of the Hillje District Meeting was tabled for its length and lack of time. RepOrts of financial income from the Hillje Meeting, from the Treasurer, new business and discussions followed.

The election of District Officers for the year 1959-00 followed and Brother Paul Sablatura was elected president of District Six, Brother F. (Poppa) Bucek re-elected vice-president, Brother Fr. Olsovsky the able secretary was reelected and Sister Krutilek their treas-

Wednesday, April 29, 1959 user, was also re-elected. Sister Elsie Breska was electe,d District Youth, Leader.

Brother Bucek presented a resolution from his lodge asking for its adoption to be presented to the By-Laws Committee of the next Convention: It was discussed and favorably voted for presentation.

• Brother Gajevsky of the East Bernard Lodge also presented a resolution to also be presented at the next Convention and was accepted by the District.

Officers of the Supreme Lodge were presented as were their ladies who were presentel.

Brother Edward Marek, President of the Supreme Lodge speaking in Czech said "We are glad that we are able to be here this afternoon and acs you have seen the work of our Youth Division of our Order; our Youth Director (Brother Hejny) you can see that we have a new "life" in our Order; it is the . middle of the road where our adolescents work with our Order. I think that it is only right that they assure us of our future, that when the time comes where they will take over t;he running of our order, that they will be able to do this. It is the work of all of us, h,elping our youth take this interest' our Organization.

If you ' will look back you will see the routines of our lOdges, the brotherhood. is cooperatively working with the different districts; we all are working toward one goal. It is like I said — times are changing, our classes of policies , are different from that of 50-60 years ago and they will be different still in another 25 years or so, but the 'basic bro-, therhood' will still be the same. As long; as in our hearts there is 'love', we will remain brothers; when love will not be there, we shall no longer be able to work together.

Regarding our youth, you can see that in our District Meetings our youth are coining to these meetings and working. with us. They are talented and we of the Supreme Lodge applaud them for their efforts.

Another thing I would like to bring out is this: the work in these meetings is all in the open, you have the opportunity to talk to someone about the Order in our meetings, there is opportuni))ty for everyone, we gain friends and members and everytime you gain one new member, we, gain new strength.

If we gain a father of the family,• then the mother, we can say that family is sympathetic to our Order and our work Has to go forward. We, too, see new ideas, new methods in our Order,: and it is the privilege of us all to at-

Wednesday, April 29, 1959 tend your meetings and in the name of every officer in the Supreme Order, we appreciate the opportunity to speak to you a few minutes allowed us. Nazdar! concluded Brother Marek.

Vice-President Brother Joe B. Hejny spoke next. "We are glad that we can be here with you and with your permission I would like to speak in English in regard to our Youth, to your Youth here who might not understand Czech.

"Brothers and sisters, it is indeed, a pleasure for me to be here with, you, to witness your carrying on your District Meeting and, the wonderful Youth Program that you had held before the meet ing. We thank the Youth Director and the children fore bringing the program before us. It helps the attendance and brings out the sisterhood, which we want very much, for they make a better meeting and so by working together we can accomplish more, grow closer together and know one another better this way.

As far as our insurance selling goes, well, we did not reach our quota last year, but we are proud that we did as much as we did, for there were handicaps in a lot of the communities. All in all, we have done well.

Proxo your District, comes one of the three top organizers in our Order, who wrote more than $75,000 insurance, he is your Brother Senkyrik." Brother Senkyrik takes a bow to the applause of the members. present.

"Two other high men come from this District and local lodge, one wrote the most membership while the other wrote most insurance, and they are: Brothers Ed Sralla arid Charles Holy,' said Brother Hejny, pointing out the two brothers to take a bow also, to the applauding membership. Brother Hejny then presented these two brothers with beautiful Plaques of Achievement.

"I know that these brothers will treasure these little plaques, a little token on our part, but it is the thought behind the plaquues that is so much appreciated and treasured," said Brothtc.ner Hejny.

"We have had some workers here, I know, who have unstintingly worked many, many years, and we want you to know that we also appreciate you very much and for the ones who have just started: we want you to know that the officers of the Supreme Lodge will always work with you in any way that we can.

Br. Hejny then Went on to explain the Youth Movement in our Districts where they are electing Princesses in the lodges to compete for District

VtSTNIK — WEST, TEXAS Queens, selected on a Merit System basis; that is: based on the amount of insurance' sold in her lod ge, then her District, for so many given points, saying that a Bonus prize will be given each Princess etc.

Our SuprenT,e Lodge Secretary Brother J. F. Chunick., speaking in Czech said: he knew that his time was limited today, but that he will reveal a plan whereby several thousands of collars can be saved on each. Convention, bet that there is still time before the Convention for that. Brother Chupick 4 being an able speaker, always has some witticism ready to pepper his talk which the listeners appreciate, for a good laugh is medicine for the spirit. "There ,are still a few communities where the youngsters can still speak Czech. When a person listens to the beautiful Czech songs, one is a little saddened in remembering the older membership who brought these beloved songs over to America from their homeland." Brother Chupick complimented Sister Ereska en her successful work with the youngsters in this District. "Congratulations, I think Sister Bre.ska, deserves recognition," whereupon the listeners applauded', her.

"You have a nice meeting," sZd Brother Chupick "and I know that no where on earth would I have been able to secure a job where I would get the feeling that I have done so much for our good CZech people, even at a greater monetary remuneration. I was not able to satisfy everyone, but I hope that when someday I bow out that my friends will say "Brother •Chupick did a good job'. " Brother Raymond Urbanovsky folloWed our Brother Chupick, who commented: "The program was beautiful. Then speaking in Czech he gave us a report of our growth, moneywise; saying that "you' , made so, much and "You" did so and so, to let the thought sink ,deep that everyone is a sh.areholder in our fraternal order. It was a nice r'eport, Brother Urba,novsky complimented the Supreme Lodge Officers for their . cooperation with each other.

Brother August Kacir, our Attorney, also complimented District Six on the ability of their children who still talk Czech with such perfection. He then went on to remember the Komensky School where he was a student and where cur Brother F. K. "Poppa" Br cek of Hallettsville was his schoolmaster, where Czech was spoken. "I appreciate that you attendance is so large," said Brother Kacir, "and that you are all so attentive for which I thank you."

Strana 17 He concluded to a round of applause.

Supreme Lodge Director Navratil speaeing said: "I am glad to be here e ' o among you: that there are se ef :;on hero and that you ha.C\ such a nice Czech program. If we would. do this over the wrole state ,it would be"' a long, long time before our Czech Iangua.ga would. die out."

He stressed the new thinking in United S,i: ,tes regarding -foreign lan. that their -worth is berea7,:.::‘d. now after having been ne. gle . s . te.d for so long, saying that a well eo.unded individual has some knowledge of another language.

Brother Navratil then veered to the next Convention saying: "Brethren, I was glad to see that you had such an i terest in the Convention' in your District. If you want to have .a successful net Convention then you must elect good delegates to not Convention, whcl are thoroughly interested, who hav, been attending your meetings regularly and know your thinking on various issu es."

Concluding, Brother Navratil bid Disc' Six, "Let's work for our Order , and try to get the children and their relatives in and then we need not wor.

Ty that our Order will not grow, let's be proud, it is one Order that can stand with the Best."

• Brother Ed. ,SmIla, Director from District Six to the Supreme Lodge spoke next. Speaking in Czech Brother Sralla said: "I, too, am glad that I could attend our District Meeting. Again, too ant glad, as mentioned before me, that the attendance is so large. With the rains that we have had, I did not believe that the attendance would be large, and I am glad to see in cur District so many workers. I see visitors from Houston, San Antonio and even ; it is evident that all over the state they take the same interest as we do in our District Six. Regarding, the program: I would reiterate, it is to bad that there aren't more Moravia,'S in our District. The program was beautiful and I hope these District Meetings , will be held in Moravia again where such proe;e:ins are presented. I. wish this rhee .':iree; lots of succes," concluded bro,Y:.ens Sralla to lively applause to their District Six Director. • Brother Koliha, Supreme Lodge Treasurer followed Brother Sralla. Speaking eh Brother Koliha pointed out tat the Supreme Lodge Officers don't get their money • for nothing; humorously •adding, that the Treasurer's Office is the "thorn in the side" of those wha are slow-payers. He explained that

Strana 18 'while it is his duty to send collection notices etc. that in drastic emergencies his office is not without compassion for the proven, stricken brother.

Brother Koliha then gave us some statistics saying that we have some 866 members who have been members of the Fraternity for over fifty years.

Brother Koliha pointed out that most of our membership deaths were between ages 70-80 last year, with only 25 deaths under the age; of fifty years, which record is enviable in any insurance annals.

Brother Koliha recognized the organizer and his role in the lodge, and pointed out that today every member must help him in securing new membership, saying "remember, what was yesterday and day-before-yesterday, is not today."

We have to GO AFTER the young men and women today, Whereas in olden days they considered it a privilege to be accepted into the SPJST; we have to get them before some competitive company signs them up. That is where the individual member comes in. As we work on the Supreme Lodge level, so must you work in the lodge and community. Where there is no discussions in the lodge, there is no going forward; from these discussions we learn, pick out that which is best for our Order.

Let's remember where we made our mistakes and not repeat them." Brother Koliha, too, complimented the brothers in the Supreme Lodge for their cooperation.

Editor Hosek was called. He complimented the Youth of District Six, speaking in Czech, also our Brother Hejny who works with the brotherhood's Youth Leaders and Youth in both the English and Czech language, for the wonderful progress that was made.

Brother Hosek complitmented the gathering for coming ,for their interest and attention to the proceedings, and reminded them that When a speaker desires the floor, recognition must first come from the presiding officer of the meeting, that that is a habit we should all develop and honor, so that the business at hand can proceed in an orderly fashion. These regular "come-togethers" are a stimulant for our fraternal work as we learn to know each other better by personal contact." He reiterated his love for his work, his appreciation for the cooperation of the Supreme Lodge, understanding and cooperation of the many good contributors to the Vestnik.

He reminded them that their Vestnik is read all over the world with interest at what the "honefolks" are doing, that it is sought by non-members as inter-

VLSTNiK .- WEST, TEXAS esting, educational and informative reading of a progressive fraternal order, that many of its activities are be ing duplicated by other organizations.

Brother Hosek again requested that the Lodge Reporters keep the news letters and reports coming, wishing them all lots of success.

Since this was a hali-day meeting and the business consumed so much of the time, the installation of newly of- leers was left off for the fall meeting.

The Committee on the YOU' .0granl reported monetary prizes for the youth participating on the program.

Brother Gajevsky lef • ct the singin g of "Ilej Slovane" with w: lei- the meeting closed. The good , :s1 erhood of Moravia, like all of our riot'', sisters everywhere, invited us all 13 coffee and ko'aches, which they had prepared separte dining hall, after which many hurried homeward. This Texas of curs sure is a big place and the drives are long at best.

"The War

On" Says ct One

In accepting Brother Ben Mikolays challenge to another Contest between District I and District II, covering the whole year of 1259 Sales, at the special Barbecue given by District Organizer, BroVP,ar Vaclav Barina of Kovar to his Organizers and their wives as "Winners" in the 1958 Contest, given on Tuesday evening, April 21, at the . New Tahoe Hall, Near Caldwell, Texas.

To 3 gathering of approximately 85 persons, organizers of the above two Districts mentioned above, their wives, Supreme Lodge Officers in full force and their ladies, your Editor and spouse, Brother V?elav Barina fulfilled his promise Tuesday evening to the Organizers in his District to a Chicken Barbecue with trhytmings.

As the Editor arrived, around a huge

Wednesday, April 29, 1959 barbecue pit, stood the brothers in charge of the chicken, while the good sisters of New Tabor brought the salads, pastries, and other brothers knocked the the stopper out of small keg for the "parched ones" in the crowd.

The flower decked tables were ready for ,rs and as we began to assemble, one good brother serenaded us on his accordion with our belovedP Czech songs. He was a. very able musician and for the rush of greetings, failed to get his name.

Thanks anyway, brother musician! `l ":11-.)reme Lodge President, Brother Eclv.m-d iViarek said grace for us before our heaping plates of food, which we all immediately tackled with, much gusto.

Everyone was in fine spirits, full of pleasantries and expectation. After we had all eaten, Brother Marek again gave Thanks for the privilege of i "breaking bread" with these fine folks in such fellowship. Then followed the speeches.

One of the ablest after dinner speakers in our midst, our Brother J. F. Chupick, Secretary of our Supreme Lodge gave us a very nice informal talk, spiced with his brand of witticism, which everyone enjoyed immensely, after which the banter went back and forth with two other known humorist present that night, namely Brother Vaclav Baring and Brother Frank Vytopil. One would say something, the other would add secrething on, the third would pitch in his twenty-five cents worth, so to speak, and the listeners were delighted and roared with laughter. That alone, was a precious thing to see, everyone felt that this must be the nicest form of fellowship accessible to man on earth and a lot of business was conducted at the time.

To get back to Brother Chupick's talk. Brother Chupick explained the Youth Movement gaining such momentum in our brotherhood, saying: "Our young people are smart novt-a-days, they are not going to join any organization without a very good reason for it.

If you will tell them about the SPJST and its many phases of fraternal privileges, they will join it; then our insurance itself, is just as economical as any other insurance on the market. As long as we are young," said. Brother Chupick, "we feel we do not need the insurance when it is offered to us and we are physically insurable, but we being human beings and funny creatures, when we are no longer insurable, we make every effort to get the protection.

While our eyesight is good, we don't take care of it, as long as our teeth I are good, we don't take care of them;

Wednesday, April 29, 1959 and that's the way with insurance. As long as a person is young, in goad health, we think — we have plenty of time yet — to get insured, but finally when we find out our health has failed us, we try to get insured." Brother Chupick then asked: "Is there anyone here tonight, who is over-insured?" No answer. "Everybody needs insurance!

We have GOOD Insurancef So, why not get into the SPJST? asked Brother Chupick.

Brother J. H. Syptak, District I Top org'anizer, then spoke about the "block" that most of our organizer had wheh selling insurance, saying that some of them cannot think of insurance in terms of more than $1,000, letting the "big ones"! get away! Brother Syptak urged that we should strive for the 810,000 insurance policies, for a head of a family the $1'5,000 policy should be the very minimu, the rock bottom amount for any kind of family protection. "That is what we need, get the big policies and not think in terms of $1,000 policies."

Immediately "amens" were heard from other organizers in the gathering.

Each organizer in the Two Districts personalty thanked the Sisterhood of New Tabor for the wonderful "feed" the brotherhood of New Tabor for the "refreshments" and Brother Vacla y Barina who fulfilled his promise to them, in this wonderful fellowship he was privileged to attend, each promising to try to do better next year.

Brother Frank Vytopil from the Bryan lodge invited everyone to attend their district Meeting at Shiloh Hall, near Bryan. (See the Vestnik for date.)

Everyone was having such a good time ribbing District II, for having lost the contest, and then back at District I that "it won't happen again" until Bro. Ben Mikolaj proffered the 'Challenge' to Bro. Barina of District I, for another Contest for 1959, whereupon each District's organizers were asked if they accepted the "Challenge". They accepted promptly, assuring each other that they would give them a "run for their money". Enthusiasm was ivery high, even a World Series baseball game couldn't have electrified its bleacher crowd more.

Br. Ben Mikoloj then hit upon the core of the situation when he said that the pay for the Organizer wasn't much, that the greatest pay he received was the feeling of satisfaction in his heart."

Again he was applauded in approval.

"The Die is Cast!" warns Bro. Barina, "we are going to start fighting!"

Bro. Joe B. Hejny, State Organizer on the Supreme Lodge level then. spoke.

VESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS "You don't know how happy you have made me tonight," he said, "and it all goes to prove what such fellowship can do to a group of workers. There is no individual party who could do anything, but by working together, we can accomplish everything and the spirit that you have here tonight gives me great pleasure because I know that we have started something here between these two Districts that will benefit a great many friends who will become members, and everytime we write an application, you have a member. I am really proud of you fellow workers here and to help you out, in this Contest, I will try to furnish you the new Rate Books this week The Rate Books are in, but the Covers should be in this week and then we shall assemble them between the covers and mail them to you.'

"While I am here, I would like to mention specially, your two top organizers in District I Brother J.H. Syptak, who wrote the greatest amount of insurance in District I and Brother Pete Barron (unable to be present) who wrote the greatest number of new members in the District and I want to thank you both tonight. You will be presented with a plaque of Achievement" in your next District Meeting at Shillow Hall, concluded Brother Hejny.

Since our Host's wife, Sister Barina, was unable to be present, we all sent her a little note of rememberance, wishing her a speedy recovery.

Brother Chas. Navratil, District II Director, speaking in Czech told us about his early youth in this country, when because he was under age, he could not be accepted for membership in the SPJST with his two older buddies and how through the compassion of an older brother, Brother Navratil was made some months older and was able to also be accepted. He told of the pride with which he became a member of the brotherhood, saying that immediately he, a lone lad, had a room full of brothers and sisters which in his lonliness were very precious to him. "What has hurt us all in the past, more than 'anything," said Bro. Na;vratil, "were those few members in the brotherhood who enjoyed the Rozbroj (discord), regardless of the consequence to the whole.' Bro. Navratil is one of our older "guard" who unswervingly has his heart and soul in this fraternal work. During his life, he has signed hundreds and hundreds of members into the brotherhood.

Brother Frank Vytopil then proceeded to tell us how he joined the SPJST at Milano as a very young man. Five youths joined with him at the some meeting

Strana 19 and he was elected to the office of the "venkavni straz" (Outer Guard) an office now obsolete, and he didn't know what such duties were. ()nn asking about his duties, he was told that he was "being sent out." Brat her Vytopil has a way with narration which provoked lots of good natured laughter.

The informal talking back and forth was 'attentively followed, hitt the late hours had crept upon thiS contented little group and with reluctance and profuse "Thanks, to the sisters, brothers of New Tabor, to Bro. Barina our hosts, with telling one , another; "Be careful, drive carefully," the cars began to pull out of the yard.

Two or three Czech songs were sung, as Kde Domov Muj, Hej Slcvdne and Louceni, louceni, and the gdod sisters of New Tabor began gatherin their empty dishes for home, and a friendly handshake and a "Na ;Shieclanou" we all finally left New Tabor Mill an,i , its wonderful and friendly people..

A lot of tail( was m ver recorded properly as my wife and helper were caught up in the enthusiasm of the eve- ning and forgot to take notes, so deany fine thoughts were lost to ,111 but those present, I Rm sorry. It was one of the finest gatherings ever wi 0. ,Issed, where the finer and higher instincts of human. nature manifested thems: • vc7, to each other. Let me hear from you how you liked it.

The dill, for instance, is pushing its feathery stems up and it won't be long before green beans in dill sauce, or dill sauce with new potatoes will grace the table.

For those who have dill handy, the fresh product is always best, but for those who do not, dill washed and dried -- then cut up and with a dash of salt, placed in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator, will keep for a nice long time.

This is fried chicken time in the country, with those roosters coming up to size from the early hatches. In the city fried chicken is popular the year around.

Scme fryers will be ,prepared for the deep freeze to be eaten leisurly within six months, but many of you will be eating fried chicken for weeks to come to eat off those spring roosters.

Today, I would like to suggest to you a new method of fried chicken, for you to try, that is very easy and quick. It is as delicious, probably more easily diaested as fried food, as is the usual frying method. It's the over-fried chicken now becoming so popular. The "dippin" is flavorful and different. So, we cut up two broiler-fryer chickens into serving pieces and thoroughly baking.

In a shallow dish, we cruch 1 1/2 cups corn flakes and add 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 tablespoon paprika. Then, in another shallow dish for "dippin" we blend 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard, 4 tablespoons vinegar. 1 tablespoon tabasco, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and then roll in the crushed corn flakes and place in a foil-lined shallow pan with the

skin side up. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 1 hour, or until the pieces are tender when pierced with a fork. There is no need to cover or turn the pieces while baking. It's delicious and different to the usual chicken fare. Try it as a surprise on your family, they won't tire of it.

First, I would like to say that the attendance surpased any in recent years.

By the noticeable increase in attendance at these meetings we have estab lished the fact that there is more interest shown in the activities of the club than ever before. Even though all our members are not particularly interested in appearing on the stage, they are interested enough to see that activities do not cease. Like many such organizations there are members that are talented and feel like taking part in as-

The high non, of the meeting came in the annum-lei:a-l e nt by Brother Tim Kostom, our president, that several members had been working on an "Awards" program and had followed a plan through which these awards were to be made.

These plans care as a complete surprise to at least three members present.

That was Brother Rudy Sefcik, Brother Anton Svestka and Sister Naomi Kostom, the recipients.

I would like to say how much I appreciate the kindness and consideration of all who entered and participated in the spirit of this occasion. This was, indeed, one of the most thoughtful gestures that I have ever experienced. I also know I speak for the two gentlemen mentioned above when I say we are grateful to all of you. And, thank you, again!

Again may I remind you to check your Vestnik for announcements of our next play.

First of all, sisters and brothers, it was a success. Not only everybody enjoyed it, but also financially our Club stands little better again. It is not too much, that's true, but $36.36 we made will help and come handy for our planning in the future. It is the result of good cooperation, full understanding and support of all of you, highly encouraging for further activities. I appreciate it very much, it means far me more than anything else.

to the Exposition Hall where a Trade Fair was held. There were many unusual exhibits. The exhibits which fascinated me most was the fact that a person can inscribe as many as 9,00'7 letters on a grain of rice. I also read that he inscribed 20,000 letters on a twocent stamp.

Another exhibit that I found interesting was an aquarium which was filled with shrimp. That was the first time I have seen shrimp swimming. A shrimp has swimmerets on the abdomen which are used for swimming and for carrying eggs.

I enjoyed all of the exhibits I am hoping that I can announce something Dallas, Texas of importance soon.

So as I mentioned earlier, Friday night, April 24, we play Browne Window at 7:30 p.m. and then Friday night, may 1, we will play the Lutheran All-Stars in the second game starting at 8:45 p.m. Come out to these games, we know you will see some fine teams in action. We just hope we can make a good showing for our Lodge No. 84 and for our SPJST Order.

Leading hitters Wednesday night were nurg e.rous. First of all, Raymond Smith and. Robert Huggins clouted home runs.

Getting 3 hits, the most for the night, was our second baseman, Don Faires, :getting two hits apiece were Robert Huggins, Raymond Smith, Gary Hutchison and Frank Mach, III, and getting single safties were Grady Garrett and Jody Rejcek. Getting on base via walks were Ted Dusek Jr., Allen Dunn, Wilbur Munger and Jody Rejcek twice. I certainly hcpe we can keep up this kind of hitting for if we can, we should win our share of games. Our team played good defensively, although 2 errors were committed.

• We will play Jones Blair on Wednesday night, April 29, the second game, at 8:45 j.m. Then on Wednesday, May 5, we will play Republic Insurance at 8:45 D.M. at Samuels Diamond No. 1.

Though the weather was still cool, we had a nice turnout at the game and we deeply appreciate our rooting section.

We feel confident when the nights get warmer that many imore of our members and friends will come out to the games.

We have two more new prospective ballplayers for the team say about 197?.

A couple of our ball players are proud fathers again, they are Albin (Beno) Vrana's, a son, born some three weeks ago, their fourth child, and the Ted Dusek's Jr. their second child, born Monday April 20. Ted was at the game passing out cigars and after the game you couldn't tell if the fellows were celebrating their victory or Ted's new son, but the stogies were all burning. Our congratulations to these two familiei,„ from the team.

We will be looking for and hoping to see you at the games.

OTTO L. HOSEK DALLAS, TEXAS Dear Sportsmen and Readers: Don't Be Alarmed; It's Spring Again!

In the event that you are momentarily forgetting such important things as: The Berlin Crisis, Labor Unions, Racketteering, Cost of Living, Space Projects, and the anticipated Trip to the Moon with one of the selected Space Men, don't go running off to your doctor for another check up!

If, instead, your thoughts are drifting to such items as that new boat and motor you've always wanted, or that vacation at the "Gulf" you have been putting off for a year or so, or perhaps the sound of a ,baseball well hit off of a bat in the ball park amid the shouts and cheers of "kids" of all ages, try not to be alarmed. You are simply experiencing the "Charms of Springtime" and I assure you your recovery will be quick indeed. Soon the ravages of the past winter will be just a memory and you'll be wondering when you are going to get relief from this darned hot spell or whether you shouldn't have bought that larger tonnage air conditioner last season.

It sure is nice the way Old Mother Nature tried to balance things out for most of us. Those who claim. they hate the cold wintery blasts can always get a measure of comfort looking forward to the coming of the balmy days of Spring and Summer, while those who can't take the Texas heat can anticipate the annual nose-dive of the thermometer.

This sometimes conies in October, and lots of us had this experience during the State Fair here in Dallas not to mention the changes that sometimes occe.r in Dalhart and Amarillo in the Pan handle of Texas. Very few of us are fortunate enough to live in climates where we get a year-round supply of what we like best. All things considered, Maybe

VESTNfK — WEST, TEXAS it's just as well. So if you are succumbing to the gentle and sure signs of Springtime, forget the sulpher and molasses tonic for you and your boy — instead take him fishing, plinking turtles with the .22, or to the baseball game in the park and your spring fever will ease up like magic!

Ultra Hi-Velocity in Revolver Bullets Kent Bellah, photographer experimenter sand writer, becomes National Figure through the development of fastest bullet in revolvers. Mr. Bellah is from Nacorm, Texas. In recognition of his design and his many other activities in national gun circles, Bellah has recently been featured in two of the nation's leading gun n 'agizines: "Gun Magazine" and "Precision Shooting."

Unknown until now among the home folks, he has been a regular and consistant author of a number of technical articles on firearms, ballistics and handloading precision ammunition for several magazines. Bellah is a. director of the U.S. Revolver Assn. and a contributing educator of the association's official Magazine, "The U. S. Handgunner."

Several other magazines have also published his articles. These include Gun Digest, the nation's largest selling gun book.

Bellah has perfected several developments in the gun field, the latest being the world's highest velocity handgun bullet. It gives high efficiency in a Harvey .224 Kay-Chuk, a conversion of a Smith and Wesson .22 revolver using .22 Hornet rifle cases that are fire-famed.

It was created by Lakeville Arms, Lakeville, Connecticut.

He designed the first jacketed .22 caliber revolver bullets that more than double the power of regular Hornet bullets which now are marketed by Sisk in Iowa Park, Texas, who is a pioneer manufacturer of custom .22 rifle bullets for handloaders whodemand the best.

Mr. Sisk makes 18 designs of his .22 custom bullets and I myself can vouch for their great accuracy and terrific killing power on game or varmints intended to be shot with this caliber. Of course most of us know this caliber is not recommended for our large game such as deer, lion or antelope as these small pills have a tendancy to blow up on impact, thus causing great superficial wounding permitting the animal to get away mortally wounded only to die later an agonizing death, loss to the hunter and prey for the vultures. • The Kay-Chuck with the new bullet has more than fifty per cent higher velocity than any other revolver cartridge. Smith and Wesson introduced the .44 Magnum Revolver in 1956 for the

Wednesday, April 29, 1959 world's highest velocity. It is the ultrahigh speed potent load giving muzzle velocity of 1675 feet per second with the gas check bullet which almost comes to the 3-30 rifle. Believe me this is some hand cannon and it is rough on both ends as the recoil is teriffic and the penetration and killing power unbelieveable. It is used by FBI and other law' enforcement organizations and a second gun on dangerous game. I have tested several, some six inch barrel pobs and some four inches but still like my .45 Colt and .38 better for my shooting pleasure and accuracy.

This Kay-Chuck bullet starts at an amazing 2300 feet per second. Commenting to the 'news' on his new bullet Bellah said: "My design is a modification of Harvey Jugulars, widely known to police and hunters as the most deadly bullets in large calibers. They blow up fast on varmints. Bullet design and construction is much more important in hand guns than in rifles. When a coyote or other +varmint is hit they rip a huge five-inch entrance hole, explode inside and blow vital organs out the entrance hole." Factory handgun bullets penetrate small game without exploding.

D. L. Cooper of the TeXas Dept. of Public Safety helped test the new bidlets. Mr. Cooper is well known in Nocona where he has given several demonstrations of his superb shooting and at 300 yeards. Some people think Cooper's feats impossible until they see it done.

Experiments were tried on canned beans and the cans and contents exploded before the bullet penetrated and never did they find an exit hole in the cans that were turned wrong side out.

Beans were blown 25 feet in all directions. When fired into soft sand, bullets exploded into tiny fragments 'and were lead smears thus elimlnating ricochets.

Kenneth Schackelford, of Montague, helped field test on varmints, the largest bag was 35 kills in one afternoon, all clean kills. Wayne Weems maker of the famous Weem's Wild Animal Call in Ft. Worth cooperated with Ken Bellah. .

Weems calls fox and other varmints as easily as chickens in a farm yard, and proved it with his calls on his many hunts with hunters in many parts of the state. Bellah also states "Farmers appreciate having the critters controlled on their land and welcome such hunting."

"This Kay-Chuck has almost no recoil due to its light bullet design and new bullets follow the trend of higher velocity that started in 1935. It may spark a similar factory gun and ammunition." The gun is one of many advance developments of Latweville Arms,

The Common Skunk Although common to the entire state the long tailed or broad-stripe skunk prefers streamways and luxuriant plant cover for its habitat. It eats insects, favoring grasshoppers, over ants, beetles, bugs, spiders and a few wasps. In the winter or late summer it may eat berries and vegetation. It's fur is marketed.

Hog-Nosed Skunk A broad white stripe frolyi the back of its head to the tip of the tail is the disL tinguishing mark of the mountain hagnosed skunk. It lives in the south-cen.tral part of Texas and in the "Big Thicket" region. This skunk roots in the ground for insects and their larvae and pupae more than any other skunk. Its nose has a pig-like structure, comparatively long and4 hairless. Although its fur is coarser than other skunks, its insect diet makes it valuable to man.

Please protect these animals.

Yours truly, Otto L. Hosek P.S. A fellow hunter gives a Skunk DeodoriZer. I have heard of several different ways to get rid of skunk odor, but the best way is this: In a tightly closed room burn 1 teaspoonful of corn meal on a red hot piese of metal or in a red hot can or old skillet. Heated on the kitchen range, handle metal with pliers or tongs and remain in room for 10 minutes and you'll never have complaints or bury your hunting clothes the old way.
