V2STN1K WEST, T Roman:—

Matka (1'lt, Jahn) V K—skein mlyne otevirali okna, eistili, .jakoby do s yYch pribytkti chteli vpustiti jarniho hosta.

Otevrelo se jaro. Fr ye dni dubnove ohlasily se jasoYm a hrejivYrn sluncem, ,jehlieky travy protlaeily se ze zeme, s bzukotem vzletaly mouchy, v mokrinach rozkvetly Flute krivatce, a na nalYnske hrazi ze starych pazitu vyhledly vkly obd.ivuhodne Strouhou bystre Sumela voda nerovnou aleji shrbenYch rokyt projikiel poledni vier, Oechraje rokytam jelite, doposud neroZvite pruty, odevad raSil a deal se Fivot a Fivot.

Mlynska budova zamlkle stala uprostred tohoto jarniho ruchu, bez obvykleho, spe:".meho klepani.

Mlynar Jan KorcioS tloukl se po polich za svYmi delniky, eeladka mlYnska vyklizela kde jake kouty a v ostatnich pribytcich coyly a drhly deveeky. VSecko se dal° jednim dnem, aby se oeporadek skoneil co nejchive.

Mlada Fena KorcioSnva,, Anna, mihla • Byla v nejlep§ich letech, ptivabnd Znska, vyrostla do vYSky, s krasnou a statnou Fiji.

Cekala na tchyni, jeF mela svetnieku na pravem kridle rozlehle budovy. aekala chvili a nedoekala se. NeveSla za ni do jeji svetnieky, : do toho koutku starnouei Feny, ye kterem travila smutne sve vdovstvi. Tehyne bYvala easem nesdilna, zarnlkla a nebyla rada, kdo, krome syna Jana, prah jejiho pokoje, jakoby jakasi nevlidna Cara delila pokoj ten od pribytka ostatnich pribuznYch. Proe? Aby nez ykobecnel? Kdo2 mute rid? MoZina, Fe chtela jej miti vyhraZen toliko sobe. Nerekla site ani 'slovem 2e je ji nemila nav geva, ale vAichni, i same deti, Casem si navykli neruSlti ji ✓ jejim pokoji.

Anna Cekala nadarmo. ObeSla dvorem a vkroeila dvirky do kvetinove zahrady, v niF kvete toliko rii2ovY jaternik ✓ jedinem chomaeku. Myslela, Fe najde tchyni u okna. Ne.spattila ji. Jen okna jeji svetnieky byla pootevrena a kistive zvuky podlahoveho kartaee nesly se z pokoje.

"eisti si sama," pomyslila. si Anna.

Zabolelo ji, Fe tchyne nechce prijmou ti nijake ochoty ni. Prot? Nemohla vedet. Hadala o ni u2 nekolik rokii, co ji sem prowlali, a do ni, do do ge jeji nemohla nablecinout. Stala doposud pied ni tak jako zatvrzela, hadanka.

Tchyne byla rodem Nemka a mela te2

Mela d ye decry a syna Jana. zastala u neho, proto2e ho mela nejradg z deti. ftikavala mu "Hansi", a mluvila-li o nem, pridala jests "miij Hansi". SnaS'e vSak rikala v2dy proste Anna. Byla k ni vlidna, pozorna, ale mileho, blizkeho tepla nikdy nebylo mezi nimi. VFdy jen povrchni, zdvorila forma. Anna spoeatku chtela se vlichotit k jejimu srdci, skoro pied ni poni2ovala, a prece toho nedosahla. A sveho Hanse zahrnovala stale svou krevnou, materskou laskou!

Anna si vkeko , to znovu uvedomila.

Odala nazpet a dohli2ela na eeladku, aby snad zase tchyne nenana nijake chyby. Pri ka2de praci jakoby bdel nad ni tento vS'e pronikajici dozor stare pani.

Hned uvidela nejakou ehybu, upozornila vlidne, lee piece chladne — a to vkly Anne zpdsobovalo nemile chvile. — Zdalo se ji, Fe nikdy nebyla samostatna, 2e nikdy nejednala dle sveho nazoru, nYbr2 vkly jenom v duehu sve tchyne. Nejednou ,ji to nutkalo, aby se vzeprela, osamostatnila, ale k vuli pokoji s mu2em v2dycky a v gude podrizovala se psanim jeho matky.

K poledni vy gla stara pani z pokoje ustrojena, Fe nebylo znati, Fe sama podlahu.

Byla telnata, s ostrYma, bledYma oeima, rovnYm, nahle ut'atSan nosem a vlasy uF probelelYmi. Cela tvar jeji einila prisnY a student' dojem .

Na dvore seAla se se snachou.

"Kde je Hansi?" zeptala se Anny.

"Neptgel s pole," odvetila Anna.

"Aby se nezachladil, jsou jests mokrivy," pravila t yrOm nemeckYm prizvukem, kterY se gpatne pothlaval mekeim slovam a stale znel jako gtrabani pilnikeno..

"Chtela jsem poslat MaruM, aby yam vyklidila. Mohla jste rici ze chcete drhnout", rekla ji Anna s nepozorovatelnou nara2kou.

"A, za to se nemusi stydet — udrhnout podlahu. Ta chasa nyni nieeho poracine neumi. Sobs si kazdy uhovi," odtekla tchyne jako v2dy chladne, a tvar jeji nebrala na sebe nijake zrneny.

Jan prikl prave k reel to s pole.

Mel na sobe 'kratkY kabatec. kalhoty ✓ botach jet byly blatem zastrikany. Byl statnY, nevelkY s malymi. temnYmi knir ky a tmavohnedYmi leskYmi zraky. Plet' jeho byla eervena zdrava, a v celem tele jeho byla sve2est a hybnost.

OCi tchyniny rozzarily se na synovi.

"Hansi, brodil se's po lukach — a jests je mokro. RH, prezuj se!" rekla mu nozorne, ale Anne to znelo, jakoby rekla.

"Hle, ja tva matka, se o tebe staram,

Str-ana. jak ani Anna, tva, tena, toho neclovede!"

Tak to citila, Anna z jejiho hlasu. Ale vtdyt' rovnet milovala sveho mute, ale nemela v sobs te schopnosti, aby se k nenru lisala pri katcle pkiletitosti a pipla la se s nim jako s malkin ditetem, jak meld ve zvyku tchyne.

"Nebude tkeba, main teple nohy," odkekl Jan bodge.

Jan jednou v poledne vratil se mrzut s pole. ProSel pokojem s meSt'anskkm nabytkem, usedl na tidli a piejeli si delo pevnou a krevnatou rukou, jakoby 8 neho smazoval stopy mrzutkch myelenek.

Anna pkiSla za nim z kuchyne. Cetla v nem dobte a poznala na prvk pohled; ze je mrzut.

"Co je ti?" zeptala se ho teplkm svkm hlasem.

"Domrzel jsem se s Ondkejena. Zavlekl pod oyes at hanba hleciet. Vyeistil jsein mu. A to je pokad. Kam elovek ne vrazi °di, yeecko jde ledabylo," ulevoval si Jan. "VidiS — a doma je to take takove.

VSecka to chasa nestoji za =oho," pc,steskla sobs Anna.

"Blaze je bet ni", odtekl Jan. Anne ted' bylo leheeji, te se mohla opkit o mute a postesknout sobs ve sve klopote.

Za chvili piaeoupala, se do pokoje stara pain v domacich stkevicich.

Jan nabidl ji tidli, ale ona odkekla.

"Fri:Ma jsem jenom pro naprstek. Pujete mi, Anna!" iekla ke snaSe se zdvokilou Anna ponekud zbledla.

Podivala se na stein' do pleteneho koSiku, pkehazela tam vAecky drobnastky, ptchledla zastivky v sici mstroji, ale naprstku nenaSla. "Divna Yee, karn se mi podel. Po uklizeni veecko je zpkehazeno," odkekla Anna zteneem",m, provinilkm hlasem a stanula v8ecka v rozpacich.

Tchyne pohledla na Jana vSiznamnkm pohledern. zase neni naprstku," kaki Jan ponekud pkikke, Neschlaallk hne y s pole jests v nem doutnal. ° "Myslim, ho deti ztratily," ocifekla tchyne.

nou. Clovek ma Sella od jehly, od epen dliku -- a ji se vSecko trati," iekla mu matka s daraze mna posledni vete.

Jan pro8e1 pokojen1. Nefeki nieeho. Sta silo mu, co kekl Anne, a myslil, ze vSe bride skoneeno. Matka, to vycitila.

"A ut se s ni nevad'. Poradim si i bez naprstku," iekla a vldeivou chazi odeela z pokoje.

Anna se vratila. V odich mela po jedne krupeji. A Jan je priehledl.

Ma,teina slova tak jako seminka poeala opet v nem klieit.

"Jenom mi kekni, ka,rn se ty jehly, naprstky podeji. Vtdyt' piece se sveta nepkijdou," kaki Jan. "Nedavno jests byly dva a dnes neni jednoho."

"Prod se hned mrzie? Barna se divim.

2acinSrsein nepkijde krome deti a tactile z nich nikdy jsem nepkistihla pki takoye veci," omlouvala se Anna tichkm sykm zaleklYm hlasem.

"Schvalne povolam deti, jestli jej nevzaly", odpovedela, otevkela okno a volala do neho: "Gabino, Jarku!"

Deti se v minute pkihnaly jako na kfidlech. 2ivost jim hra,la oeima, dechem i svaly. Pkinesly z venku cosi tak radost neho, co et'astne pkekonavalo tuto nemilo chvili.

"Ztratil se naprstek. Nevzal jsi ho, Jarku?" ptala se Anna chlapce.

Jarek udiven pohledel na matku a jasne povedel: "Nevzal!"

"Ani it jsem ho nevzala, ani nevidela", kekla, hned za nim Gabina tvatlavYm jazykem.

Zavrteli se na podpatcich, zvedli se z pokoje jako vitr a zase bylo lze slkeeti z louky ty jejich jasne, 8t'avnate hlasy.

"Tak viclie! Podezkiva8 mne a nemase pkieiny. Nebudu piece hlidati cele dny naprstek. Vtdyt' je dost jine prace. sama nevim, di jsou v torn eary nebo co.

Vtdycky se leknu, jak pkijde maminka a vzpomene jehlu ariebo naprstek' mluvila, Anna, a trapliva starost rozhodila ji na eiste Celo svou znatelnou vra,sku.

Calk ten den byl pro ni hokkk a oznes1 svou hotkost i na nekolik pkietich dnin net zase ye shonu praci zapadla v8ecka mrzutost, a nadeely °pet clavile j asneho, nezkaleneho pokoje...

Jedne nedele, kdyt tchyne odeSla na neSpory, sedela Anna s Janem na lavce • zahrade.

Slunnk den eervnovk miuvil svkm ja,sem a teplem. Vzduch, zeme, obloha rozra.dosthovaly duei. I3ez prave kvetl a plo tu a jemnou svou vuni pkipominal Anne doby prveho mantelstvi, kcly, pod nim sedali, oddani sobs a jenom sobs.

Oba citili totet a pfend8eli se mysli ✓ mlaclAi ty easy.

Deti behaly podel hraze a dovadely.

Anna se za nimi ohledla a pkcsunula se v pkitomnost.

"Hie, ut mama t i Ceti'! A zda, se te jsme jests veera sedeli pod bezem ✓ prvem roce. Jak ten Cas plyne!" rnluvila jasnkm a rnekkkm s ykrn hlasem.

"Ubilla ten eas!" odteklJan a pohledel netneji na term net jindy.

"Jsme At'astni, chvala bohu, jenom kdyby to stale tak trvalo. A ja se vtclycky bojim tech mrzutosti. Nebylo by jich kdyby —" pravila Anna.

"Kdyby ne matky," dokekl Jan za ni.

"Kdyby ne ji. Ty ani neviS, jak z ni rnam strach. Bojim se kkive stoupnout, slovo ji podat, aby nepoela mrzutost. A nijak ji nemohu uhovet! Kolik ut bylo tech sport k vuli tern jehlam a Apencllikam. A posledne zase ten naprstek. Musim se pfemahat, abych ji nefekla, slova.

To jenom k yali tobe. Vtdyt' je tva, mat ka," mluvila Anna s tichkin, tajenkm bolem.

Myslila na tchyni, jak, se ji vyhS/ba, jakoby se pied ni provinila, proto se asi setkava, nyni toliko s Janem.

"A vie', te se trati? Zaaina, nakilcat..Na tika na dech, na tetke nohy. Dvakrat mi o tom pravila. Nebude dlouho, cosi ji z daleka pkedchazi. A z toho je, my,slim chvilemi mrzuta. To je to v8ecko," povidal Jan, omlouvaje svou matku pked tenon., nebot' citil, te matka nerovne miluje a strani vtdy jemu.

Jan rnleky k ni vyhledl. Chapal a nechapal. Vtdyt' bylo spravno, co kekla matka, a' rovnet tak spravno, co kekla Anna. A proto nechtel nieeho ustrzovati. Bral vec, jak byla, a te ji nechapal, V Anne se vzepfela litost. Ode8la po- neroz yrtaval ji svkm rozumem.

A vtdycky byla k vuli nim mrzutost, ne tak jako pkki parnpeligkove.

Ale jinak bylo u Anny. Srdce 2eny je sice zkejma, ale tajend, tim hlodavejel.

ye sttedu, dne 1. Eervence 1959 HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Brother Editor Hosek, Your well-edited Vestnik is always enjoyed and the next issue eagerly awaited.

In the June 17, issue your reprint from the Ft. Worth Star Telegram concerning Mr. iurovetz's soliciting money for the MD association unintentionally gave the readers the impression there is no present cure for this condition. This is true from the medical standpoint, but, fortunately for thousands of people this was not the case from the chiropractic standpoint. The enclosed booklet (esp. pages 8 and 9) gives one of many thousonds on record.

This letter is being sent in the hope you qualify this reprint and perhaps help a victim of this affliction now, instead of perhaps in the future if the public will give enough as per MD propaganda.

Muscular Dystrophy; The Story of Glen Hill Muscular dystrophy, one of multiple sclerosis' wickedest "cousins" is another member of the same family which has been successfully treated at Spears hospital, Denver, Colo. The ratio of recovery has not been so high in the dystrophy branch as with multiple sclerosis, but the case of Glen Arthur Hill is a classic illustration of what has been accomplished on this front. His story appeared in the Chiropractic Home, written by Hal Hughes, a Washington state journalist, under the caption: "Chiropractic Scores Knockout on Muscular Dystrophy."

Author Hughes cited that Mr. Hill then owner of a farm and creamery at Fowler, Colo., started declining in health in 1946. He lost weight alarmingly and his normally high vitality was replaced by weakness and lethargy. He was examined by no less that 17 physicians, and finally, by a muscular dystrophy expert, who diagnosed the patient's condition, advised him to sell his business interest and "get his house in order," since his affliction, he was assured would soon prove fatal. This "sentence of death" was prounced in January, 1947.

At this critical juncture, Mr. Hill's attention was directed to Spears Chiropractic hospital. He underwent treatment there, beginning in February, 1947. In his own words: "When I went to Spears, I could not walk up the stairs. After a series of adjustments, I could run up those same stairs."

On release as a patient, in April, 1947, when he had been restored to near-normal condition, Mr. Hill went back to his occupation with such vigor that he again undermined his health: so he returned

STNIK WEST, TEXAS

to Spears for another two-week period in May, 1948. That time, he regained his health so satisfactorly that he has since enjoyed robust health.

He now lives in Puyallup, Wash., with his wife and daughter and weighs 205 pounds — all bone and muscle.

Sincerely yours, G. Jedlicka, D.C. Editor's Note: Out of courtesy to Dr. Jedlicka, D.C., we are reprinting his letter mailed to us. Now we are sorry that we published the article about Bro. Zurovetz with no intent to take sides.

In the future we will not print any more articles pro or con as to the treatment of any disease. )• 4 • ( A merchant and an editor were discussing the value of billboard advertising.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

July The Fourth Our Heritage The United States still is thought of as a "new country" in many lands. And it is true that our history does not extend back into the 'dim dawn of time. But in one sense, we are an "old country." For ()Ors is the oldest constitutional democracy on earth.

Even Switzerland, with its long history of democracy, lives under a constitution written in 1874. , After adoption of a Declaration of Independence, our nation had a war to win. And having won it, the foremost brains we could muster were put to work to design the Constitution upon which the.new nation would base its concepts of life under law and of every man's right in a free society.

Today that dOcument still stands the test of so-called "modern living," because the concept of law and rights are as important now as they ever were.

And that document has been the inspiration of peoples in many lands and the envy of peoples who must live without such protection.

Our Declaration, of Independence is meaningful because it was followed by action. A war was fought and won. A government was charted and built. Without these actions, the Declaration would have become an obscure footnote to history.

It is well to bear this in mind today, for the Independence it declared will be ours only so long as we . are willing to take action and protect it.

In our fourth of July speeches, we say America seeks no dominion over others, that she believes in the dignity of man.

We say these things, and we believe them, for they are true.

But an American can scarcely consider that he is doing his full duty to his country unless he shows this belief in Americanism, and realizes that he is showing himself to others as one of the products of this system. As an American, you are set apart from all other individuals.

First, you must know what Americanism really is. You have got to know that here we have a government of, by, and for free men, and one based solidly on religious concepts.

You also must know soaiething of the history of your country, how we came to be what we are. You have got to believe with all your soul that it is a system that will allow people to reach the greatest degree of earthly happiness of which we are capable, that we can seek to express ourselves, to realize all that is within us.

In our own land, it is largely through the family that our national character is formed. Americans love fair play, bravery, and hard work; they believe in human brotherhood 'because American fathers and mothers — by precept and example — teach these virtues to their children. So long as these ennobling qualities are passed from generation to generation, our nation will remain strong and secure and great.

Faced with this fact, it is imperative that our Government never rest in its task of serving the American home. In every way possible, we must keep our families spiritually rich, strong and free.

To this end, many groups — health, educational, welfare, religious, and Governmental — must work together to supplement the efforts of the family itself.

This work to strengthen the American home is not sheer humanitarianism on the part of these groups; it is an investment in the national well-being.

America seeks peace. But unless peace is taught in the home by the mother,

during that age where everything that is learned and absorbed stays with us so strongly, there is going to be no peace.

This is the foundation on which the men and women of our nation can build an abiding happiness for themselves and their children.

Without God, of course, there could be no American form of government, nor any American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first and most basic expression of Americanism. Thus the Founding Fathers saw it, and thus, with God's help, it will continue to be.

The path America travels this Independence Day is narrow, long, and beset with many dangers. Each day we must ask that Almighty God will set and keep His protecting hand over us so that we may pass on to those who come after us the heritage of a free people, secure in their God-given rights and in full control of a Government Cedicated to the preservation of those rights.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States , ) • 4, • (

A Timely Reminder To provide for the future everyone should have adequate insurance today.

In these inflationary times, Life Insurance is still the cheapest item on the market. The amount of insurance carried is very important for everyone of us, for what would have been adequate for a decent burial 20 years ago, is no longer enough.

We are, at the beginning of this 63rd year of our Brotthorhood making a special appeal to all Lodges, officers, members, requesting their !help in securing new members during this year.

We hope and expect that before our next Convention in 1960 we will "hit close" to the 35000 Membership Mark.

Let's prove our worth as real fraternalists by securing each one of us, a new Member.

Good luck to each one of you!

Our American F lag Our American flag, that noble symbol that flies over our fertile land, was born in the troubled and uncertain days of our War for Independence. In the century and three quarters that followed, it became a beacon of light in democracy's darkest hours, stirring our hearts and pride, courage and confidence. It is without question that throughout the history of this nation — the flag with the red, white and blue colors, has always been a rallying point for the forces of freedom and the men and women who would fight and die for it. May theprograms that are presented on our national holiday, be a tribute to our flag, the proud moments it has known as well as the story of its inspiration be given with just pride because it is also a saga and salute to "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The customs surrounding the flag are many and we should at least adhere to some. While there may be no actual law labelling it as desecration, it is at least unethical to saperimpose another photo or illustration on the flag of the United States. It is also considered poor taste to use the Flag, as an advertisement unless it is one for flags and other insignia. ) • 4, •

The Older We Grow, The Less Food We Need To Stay Healthy It is pretty well known that the, way ti grow thin is to eat less. But a symposium on the prevention of obesity made up of 500 physicians, nutritions, ,,ltieticians and other observers of eating habits learned just how little each person must eat to grow thin and remain healthy.

The prescription was issued by Dr. Herbert Pollack, chairman of the American Heart Association's Nutrition commitee.

He said obesity develops not because people eat more, but because they continue to eat the same amount of food from year to year as they grow older.

Yet, after age 25, man requires one per cent less food each year. He cautioned against eliminating bread, nototoes and fat from the diet. Excluding any one food would throw the entire diet off balance, he contended.

The prescription: Subtract 25 from your present age and deduct the resulting perecetage from your food intake.

For instance, a man or woman of 50 needs 25 per cent less food, ane quarter less than he ate at 25.

V t S.T N f K WEST, TEXAS: It is bard, to predict what plan the department of agriculture will devise, but there can be no denying the fact that whatever they come up with will be 25 years too late.

Are We Interested In Keeping The Small Farmer On The Farm It is gratifying to learn that finally someone in Washington has come to the realization that the way to hold down the number of bales of cotton produced each year is to control the number of bales and not the number of acres that might be required to produce the desired number.

Ladies, please remember to bring something for the kitch p . We will be looking for you, so don't disappoint us.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Jerry Pechal, Reporte ° eke ° WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls; With the Fourth of July right around the corner, I suppose many of your lodges are planning picnics, as has been the practice for years and years here at West, Tcxas, at the SPJST Lodge Ja.rornir, as it shall be held again this year.

It has become a tradition here in West, this Fourth of July Picnic, when West's sons and daughters scattered all over Texas converge on the hometown to visit The Folks and enjoy the day visiting friends and relatives Who come home

this once every year.

While local dignitaries and guest speakers (usually some Texas son home from Washington's political circles) expounds pol itics for the "Dads" on on open air platform in the shade of Jaromir's huge pecan trees, the concessions hold their magical attraction for the small fry, the fish pond, pitching games, and cold drink stands do a land slide business.

Then there are the rainbow colored Sno-Cones which can be licked in public without embarrassment, for on the Eolith it's permissible. They are so cooling and sweet and the holiday would not be complete without getting some down the front of one's dress, Well, it's the Fourth of July, Independence Day with a capital "D"„ In the Hall the good sisters have platters heaping high with fried chicken, barbecue, salads etc., to feed the starving celebrants.

And the Brass Band! The u pa-umpa, of the tuba, the screech of the clarinet and the sax moaning away while the cornet carrying solo part; all gets carried away by tine wind and carried over the town proper, so that only between gusts of breeze does one really hear the music. Ald Sol, too is out in all of its glory and fury to blister the skin of the unsuspecting pale ladies who haven't as yet acquired a sun tan, while the chiggers, too, await to take a bite on some pretty ankle with gusto. July 4th! what a day. Your Editor and I plan to again visit with Lodge JarenPir and partake in the festivities of the day in good fellowship.

Some of you girls will have family picnics in public parks, lodges and lakesides, etc while other of you will have family "cookouts" in the family backyard and languish in a lawn chair in the shade with an iced drink to keep you happy and comfortable.

That brings up the point of "cookouts" on the patio or backyard barbecue grill. The barbecue equipment manufacturing business is booming.

Those barbecue grills are being manufactured from the most amazing array or articles in all shapes and sizes. I saw one recently that the home welder can make from that old family wash kettle that is no longer being used since Mom got her automatic washing machine. It was propped up on legs to comfortable height, a hinged cone-shaped hood of heavy sheetrictal fitted the top to cover the grill completely. An opening was left at the top of the cone-hood for a draft from which smoke could escape.

Wednesday, July 1, 1959 Inside was a removable rack of heavy cast grating which was held in place by some lugs welded inside the wash kettle about four inches from the top of the kettle on which the rack or grill rested. It worked beautifully and the steaks were very tender and delicious and evenly browned.

The nice things about all of the Patio Cookouts is that the men are taking over this job. Some of them are genuinely inventive and concoct some delicious food combinations. It has come to such a pitch that one national organize tion is sponsoring a Contest for Men for Cookout Championship where grand prizes will be offered for the best recipes. It will be interesting to see what these male Champion Cooks come up with. So, girls, get your man an apron, a cook's cap and let him try his hand at your next Cookout. For him it will be fun and for you (secretly) a chance to lounge in that lawn chair while He makes the meal. Nice?

I was lucky to run across a recipe recently that is easy to make and loved by all, young and old. It's the German Chocolate Cake. It's literally slapped together. This particular recipe originally came from a family in Galveston, many, many years a go, and my hostess asured me that it never 'failed for her.

German Chocolate Cake Cream together: 2 cups sugar and 1 cup shortening. Add 1/2 teaspon salt.

Then, add five eggs (eggs are cheap now) one at a time and beat. Add 1 cup of buttermilk in which you have dissolved 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well. Then add 2 cups of cake flour and 3/4 cup cocoa. Sift the flour before measuring. Top this with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Bake. Use your favorite white icing and serve plain, or sprinkled with chopped pecans or cocoanut, or, your favorite chocolate icing on this delicious cake. I hope your family hands you many compliments on it.

I also have a recipe for Czech Goulash which our recipe collectors might like to have. It's like Mother's, different frofri stew or the Hungarian Gulash, and so good.

Czech Goulash Use a shoulder roast or any other goad cut off beef which is cut up into small pieces from 1-to-2 inches in size.

Cube a medium size onion and place both the meat and onion together in a small amount of hot fat in a deep skillet, roaster or a dutch oven. Cook over a slow heat. The meat will produce its own liquid when cooked slowly. Stir often to prevent sticking. When liquid has

cooked away and meat starts to fry in its fat, add a small amount of hot or boiling water and cover with a close fitting lid. Keep cooking slowly and as the water cooks away, add more hot water.

Continue until the meat is tender. Let the water cook away until just the fat remains and add flour to the fat for gravy thickening to which salt and pepper, to taste, has been added. Let this flour cook for a bit, stirring so it would not burn and then add your hot water for the quantity of gravy desired. Let the gravy thicken.

The secret is the slow cooking and anly small amounts of water added at a time, not enough however, to cover the meat. It is also important to wait until the liquid has cooked out and only the fat remains before adding the flour thickenihg.

The Youth Club of Lodge 56, will hold its regular meeting in July. At this meeting the numbered picture paintings will be judged. This contest is for girls only as the boys had their kite flying contest in June.

The Friday night game nights are not as much fun as they were at first.

The Corpus Christi Sokol Youth drills and following this the Youth Club members were asked to play volley ball. Any Youth Club member who participates in the volleyball game earne a point.

Lately there were only few interested, therefore we don't get to play. Seems to me that the Youth would take more interest and try to take part so that they could earn these yoints. Points are only given for special activities and not for drilling. There are several that only go there just for that and'earn points, this isn't fair to the others that go to the hall and don't have a chance to play volleyball, as so few are interested.

Let's make the Friday nights more interesting and you all come. The point system in the Youth Club is a wonderful idea if done the honest way and thats how it should be done.

Will write more news at a later date.

Strum Texas., was even dancing by Patek's Orchestra coming to us via the radio from the Gonzales Station and was enjoyed by most of the old and young.

Then came our meeting, which was opened by everyone singing America, and the Czech song Ja Jsem Sirotek (I am an orphan, born in Prague). Miss Martha Louis Havlik gave us a 'solo.

She is a student of San Marcos College.

The song was richly applauded by the gathering.

Next came election of officers. A motion was made to elect the old ones voted by the raising of the hand; so the old officers were elected by acclamation Brother Ches. Havlik of Sweet Home: is president. The oldest of the brothers was elected First Vice-President namely, Prof. 0. F. Havlik of Palacious, Texas.

The Second Vice-President and Reporter is J. V. Havlik of Moulton. Secretary and Treasurer L. L. Havlik of Temple.

The place of our next meeting was left up to the officers to work out. The only change was that everyone wanted to meet earlier: the first Sunday in June decided upon. The thinking was that it would be cooler than the third or fourth Sun3ay.

Some of the members of the Havlik family were missing and it is our sincere hope that they will be able to come to our next reunion in 1960.

(Delayed from last week) Dallas, Texas Thursday night, June 18, we played Friedman Steele Corp. and lost by a score of 4 to 0. Though we last, the score should have been much closer, except Tor errors and loose play we committed.

Grady Garrett 'hurled a good game allowing 4 hits, 4 walks end struck out 6 batters and actually only one run should have been ruled as earned. Wilbur Munger, our catcher, caught a good game.

We were off in our hitting department which resulted in our not getting any runs. We could only muster 2 hits, one a double by Don Faires and a single by Ben Jarma, and FrE,',nk Mach III, Allen Dunn and Jody Rejcek got on base by walks, that was it.

We had a large turnout again at the game and after the garane a large group of os gathered and had an enjoyable evening.

Friday night, June 19, we played a much better game and we defeated Texas Instruments by a score of 9 to 5 in a real exciting game up to the seventh inning when we rallied for 5 runs to salt away the game. Our hitting had improved for this gone which really paid off in the end. Wes Jaska, who hurled the first 5 1/3 innings, hurled good ball and only errors helped our opponents score 4 unearned runs. Grady Garrett relieved Jaska and he hurled hitless ball to insure our victory and he was credited with the win as the score was tied when he came into the game. Wilbur Munger Caught another fine game.

We had rather an unusual oddity to happen in the game as our team pulled off a triple play and really got ourselves out of a jam.

Leading hitters for the game were Frank Mach III with a home run, a single and a walk, Albin (Biro) lirba with a home run, ben Jarma with 2 doubles and a sacrifice, Grady Garrett with ' 2 hits, and Glen Kirk with a single and a walk, Allt'n Dunn with a double, a single and a walk, Wilbur Munger with

S Tic 1 K— WEST, TEXAS a double and Wes Jaska with a single.

This leaves us in first place in our Friday Night League with 2 wins over Texas Instruments and virtually clinches the second half chaavionship, as we have only one more game to play them in the second half. In the first half, we beat them in the only game we played them and we still have amakeup game to play to determine the first half winner.

No regular league games wee played during the week of June 22, but we will play McCord Music in the first game of the ASA Tournament and we will play until we lose two games or win them all. These results I will give you in the next issue of the Vestinkif possible.

I will be spending a week vacation in Oklahoma with my family and with the Ben David family fishing, swimming, skeeing and just plain loafing.

After the game , we had a group of the players, wives and some of the fans get-together for some refreshmentS. Orr next regular league . games ' resume the first week in July, as We play McCord Music at 7:30 on Thursday night, July 2 and Friday night, we play Browne-Window the second game, 8:45 p.ra. and both games at Lawnview Diamond No. 1.

Wednesday, July 1, 1959 not in this modern world by 'mistake.

Actually they are survivors from the age of Dinosaurs.

The big dinosaurs perished some 60 million years ago. Yet their cousins, the crocodilians, are still with us, There are three varieties of crocodilians. There are the gavials of India and Malay, the alligators of the New World and the true crocodile of tropical Africa and Asia. The gavial is a slended animal, with long pointed nose. Since he lives in far away places we are not likely to confuse him with the alligator and the crocodile.

The grown crocodile is far larger than the largest alligator. He may be more than thirty feet long and tip the scales at a ton. Thus makes him the largest of all the living reptiles. The largest alligator rarely exceeds 16 feet from nose to tail. Size, however, is not a reliable guide for you might confuse a halfgrown crocodile with a full grown alligator. The kind of water is which you find the animal gives a more reliable clue. Crocodiles enjoy salt and blackish water while alligators prefer fresh water.

The shape of the head also shows the difference between the two. The head of the alligator is wider and more wedgeshaped then that of his cousin the crocodile. The crocodile's snout is longer and less tapered. However; if the animal you happen to be observing opens his jaws, no not bother to take actual measurements, as those toothy jaws are ready to snap shut like a huge bear trap.

The one sure way to tell the alligator from the crocodile hap pens to be from those terrible teeth. Both cousins have a few extra long teeth in their lower jaws. The alligator has pits in his upper jaw into which these dagger teeth fit, when his mouth is closed. The crocodile has a deadly grip when he clamps down on his victim.

The variation makes a vast difference in the facial expression also. All crocodiles are without lips which gives them a kind of a smile' when the mouth is closed. When the mouth, of the alligator is closed, with the dagger teeth fitted into his pits no teeth are visible. He wears a gentle 'smile' which certainly belies his bloodthirsty nature.

The crocodile can never hide his menwhen acing teeth and they show him a his mouth is closed, his naferocious look which is tru: , ture..

Possibly each year many fawns are lost because of pregnant does being chased by dogs. Several reports already have been made of occasions where dogs were seen running does. Most of these dogs have not been trained to hunt any one species of anhimals.

When a doe is heavy with young, she is slow on her feet and fast dogs have very little trouble catching many of them. When they catch one they kill her, destroying both her and her young.

These dogs seldom eat the deer once they are caught, yes, they do it for the chase and their sport of killing and the carcass is left for the free-loading pre5ators and buzzards. over

Be a good sport and keep your dogs under control, and at home as ranchers have been instructed to shoot wild dogs on sight that molest their deer, also sheep and goats. )• •
