Jste Zenat? Mate Zenti a ditk3 ? V padu vakmo uinrti, zanechate sve vdova dosti, aby mohla zaplatit za vas pohreb, pohkebni misto a nahrobek? A co se sta.ne s &tem od lekate? s aster z nemocnice, mtu,'el-li bYti tam leeen s iletem od groceristy, a con najem a jine potteby a dluhy k placeni?

2ivot nas stoji dnes innoho penez, ale cena smrti stoji snad jests vice — a nekdo musi ono vydani posmrtni zaplatiti.

Jak moano uchranit rodinu pied nahlou chudobou a stradanina v pdu, ae jeji Zivitel a ochrance se rozlouei se Zivotern? NejlepAi ochranou — ponevadZ jest nejsnazSi a nalistejSi — jest pojiSteni na divot. NejsnaZSI jest proto, ponevan vyZaduje pouze mesieni poplatek na vydrZovani -- a nejjistejSi jest proto, ponevad2 lehce mtiZeme ztratit naSe ry, naSi stiechu nad hlavami, na.S pozemek, ale nikdo vain neintize vziti vaSi pojistku na Zivot, ZacIn3.7 neptinuti vas, abyste vzali tuto pojistku z bankovni schranky a lehkova,Zne obnos za ni rozhazeli; ona nemuae shofeti, nikdo nemuae proti ni drZeti morgye nic se ji nemuae dotknout. Tak dlouho, pokud mud a otec plati sve inesieni neb rani splatky, potud je jeho pojistka v pine platnosti nejjistejSi to a nejlepAi ochrana pro rodinu jeho, v padu jeho odchodu do neznaxna.

Mua ten vAak jest nilad3i — pinY Zivota. nema aenu, ania rodiny; on chova ptesvedeeni, ae pro ptitomn3"T eas jest mu Zivotni pojiSteni netteba, ae pozdeji bude na to easu dosti. On vaak v zajmu svem vlastnim mel by, se nechat pojistit, a to hned. Pkedne, co mlacleho, bude jej pojistka stati merle penez, neZ pozdeji, a elm drive si navykne einiti mesieni splat ky na ni, tim lepe, neb clobrk vY.sleciek snaaeni mnoheho mu k s zaeina, od to doby, kdy si vzal aivotni pojistku. A dale, bude-li eekat dale, milk se stati, ze pojistku pozdeji nebude moci zcela obdraeti ,a nikdo nezna, cenu pojistky na Zivot tak, jako ten, kdo by ji ehtel miti, ale nemuae ji ziskat.

Stoji-li si mud finanene dobte, vlastni li svrij domov nebo farmu — ma-li hotovost v bance — ma-li peknk pkijem z jeho majetku, nebo ulolenkch penez v pod nicich, tteba namitne: "Main za to, ae 2ivotni pojistka jest cennou pro toho, kclo nema nic jineho, ale ja, ji nepottebu

ji. AZ ja umtu, moje rodina bude miti dosti." Cela ludo, zamoZn3ich a bohatYch mufti stejne "meg a za to, a takteZ se vyslovila", jako tento zde uvedenSr — ale pozdeji pkiSli o vSe a kdy2 rozloueili se s timto opravdu slzavYm ildolim pro ne, nezanechali po sobe zcela nic. A v padu, ze zanechaji, majetek jejich dostane se arnrtim tteba do soudniho fizeni, tak k vdova nemuae se ujmouti tehoZ, as po dlouhem Case. Ale pojistku obdrZi hned, za kratko po inurti sveho mankla v dobe, kdy penez jest nanej yYSe tteba. — Obnos amrtni jest "rychlY peniz". DalSi dtivoci: Je-li vdova nucena po imarti mankla prodat east, neb celY majetek ye pro:pech sebe a sve rodiny — za hoto ye, obyeejne nedostane, nasledkem nuceneho prodeje — pinou hodnotu, majetek ten stoji. KdyZ ale vdova ma ku s prodejem majetku na pozdejSi dobu, pomoci penize za pojistku, mute vyekAt kdy zajiste lepSi cenu za nej obdrZi. Telly, jak vidno, pojistka zde pa,cla na velikou vahu a ptinaSi jen dobro.

Karl Herman Frank, kterY byl v breznu 1939 jme novan statnim tajemnikem a zastupcem rikkeho protektora vyslovil tento nacisti ckY nmysl verejnYm vYrokena: "OeSi se hodi jen k tomu, aby jich bylo pouZito jako sedlakt a delnikt." — Pripomerime si dnes, po dvaceti letech alespon struene uddlosti kolem osudneho 17. listopadu roku 1939.

28. Nen 1939 byl oslaven pralskYm obyvatelstvem projevem vernosti CSR a zasadam demokracie a svobody. Nemecka policie, vedena osobne Frankem, uvkho druhu nasili, aby tuto nonasilnou a dtstojnou rnanifestaci PraZand potlaeila. Mezi mnoha zateenYnai byl take 24 let student lekarske fakulty Karlovy university an Opletal, kterY pozdeji podlehl zranenim, jeZ utrZil od prisluS niku gestapa.

Studentfun bylo zakazano zueastnit se Opletalova pohrbu dne 15. listopadu 1939. ShromaZdili se telly alespori pied kostelem a pH vynakni rakve z kostela vykrikovali ruzna hesla. Pozdeji se vetsi student), slaromadil na Staromestskem nam'esti, kde bylo nacisty proti bezbrannYm studentam pouZito zbrani. Nepokoje ,jeZ byly ponecovany hlavne riemeckYmi oddily, se pak rozSirovaly po cele Praze.

DruhY den na to dne 16. listopadu 1939, RikkY protektor K. von Neurath a Frank odleteli do Berlina, kde se setka,li se zuricun Hitlerem. Krome Neuratha, a Franka byl pritomen take vyslanec protektoratu, dr. ChvalkovskY. prohlasil, ze pres jeho varovani dok novYm, nemeckou bezpeenost ohroZujicim demonstracim. Strajci tohoto spiknuti musi bYt na vYstrahu zastreleni, veal poeet studentt zatoen a prevezen do koncentraeniho tabora a vSechny vysoke Skoly zavreny prozatim na dobu 3 let, majetek zajiAten a zarizeni pouZito pro nemecke tzcely. JeSte tehoZ dne odjely z Berlina, do Prahy silne oddily SS a SA, posilene motorisovanYmi pluky armady, aby vykonaly "valcuy" rozkaz.

V noci z 16 na 17. listopad 1939, podnikli naciste iitok na studenty na sob gangsterskeho prepadu. Vnikli do studentskYch koleji, kdy2 pied tim zastrelili vratneho a zmoenili se studentd, obleeenYch v noeni odev. Pri tomto prepadu bylo 14 studentt zabito a cela rada brutalne ztluCena a ztYrana a od-

V 1d S T K WEST, TExAs vleeena do leteckYch kasaren v Ruzyni, kde byli podrobeni dalSimu sadistickemu mueeni. V Ruzyni zrana 17. listopadu 1939 bylo popraveno zastr'elenim nekolik studentskYch einovnikt a 9 elenil vYkonneho vYboru svazu es. studentstva v 6echach.

V Brne, kde nedoSlo k incident:1m, kte re by daly nacistum zaminku k podo13nym opatrenim byla presto nacisty 17. listopadu obsazena Kounicova kolej, stu denti byli ztYrani a odvezeni nakladnimi auty k vlakam, ktere je odvezli do koncentraeniho tabora. — Celkem bylo do koncentraeniho tabora v Oranienburg odyleeeno z tech a Moravy 1,200 student].

Nemci obsadili na to vkchny koleje a vedecke Ustavy. V obsazenYch Ustavech se zrnocnili vedeckeho zarizeni, vedecke knihovny byly soustavne a metodicky vyloupeny. Archivy akadernickeho sena, tu byly rortrhany nebo spaleny, kartoteky znieeny.

K. Herman Frank vydal narizeni, aby v odvetu za studentske vlastenecke demonstrace byly zavreny vSechny es. Skoly na dobu tii let. Studenti, pokud jeSte zUstali na svobode, nesmeli vykonavat Zadne intelektualni zamestnani a byli vyzvani, aby si naSli do 48 hodin manuel ni zamestnani ,jinak budou poslani do pracovnich taborfl v Nernecku. Zavreni CeskYch universit a koleji bylo ovAem jen prvnim krokem k fipinemu potlaeeni celeho Ceskeho vedeckeho Zivota. Universitni profesoki byli bud' pensiovani, nebo prevedeni do zamestnani, ktera jinn znemoZriovala vedeckou praci. Budovy a Ustavy byly bud' odevzdany nemeckYm universitarn a kolejim, nebo nemeckYm vojenskYm a civilnim fita,dtm. Nemci odvezli vSechny vedecke nastroje a knihy, dokonce i kompletni laboratole do NCmecka s tim, Ze pry jich Oechove stejne j1.2 nebudou pottebovat. Dekret protek tora z 23. kijna 1940 zruSil akademicke sbory zavrenYch universit a technik. keditelstvi a dekanaty byly rozpu gteny. -6eskjim vzdelanctIm nebylo dokonce ani dovoleno provadeti badani a vetAina ye deckYch easopisfi byla zastavena.

Po uzavreni vysokYch Skol, naciste pozavirali na sta, CeskYch Akol obecnYch a strednich. Toto soustavne zavirani Skol bylo provadeno tak rychle, ze ku konci roku 1940 zustal na 6 tisic ueitelti z celkoveho poetu 20 tisic bez zamestnani.

NezamestnanYm ueitelfim nebylo ovS'em dovoleno, aby vjueovali soukrome byli vy zvani, aby si naSli nejake manualni zamestnani. Vroce 1939 byl poeet Zan kterym bylo dovoleno studovat na CeskYch strednich gkolach, sniZen oproti roku 1938 o 50 procent. Roku 1940 bylo jiZ

Strana 5 jen 40 procent z poeatku roku 1939 dovoleno prejit ze skoly obecne na gkolu stredni. Ku konci roku 1942 bylo zavteno pribliZne 70 proc. CeskYch strednich S"kol.

Vkchny Ceske ufiebnice, ktere byly vyda lay za republiky byly konfi,skevany a osnovou ve'Skereho vyueovani na CeskYch Skolach se stalo oslavovani "Velkeho Ne mecka".

KdyZ po uplynuti -LH let, v kijnu r. 1942 eeska delegace Zadala, aby Ceske university a koleje byly opet otevreny, K. H. Frank odpovedel cynicky: "JestliZe valku vyhra,je Anglia, otevrte si sve Skoly sami; jestliZe vyhraje NCmecko, budou yam staeit obeene petitridni Skoly."

K. H. Frank zrejme tehdy s Hitlerem ze "Velkonemecka potrva alespon 1,000 let, Ze Ceske gkoly vysoke zit stanou uzavreny navZdy a ze z Cechu se stanou skuteone jen sedlaci a delnici — otroci nacismu!

Situate v CSR je dnes obdobna. — Ko muniste stejne jako za valky naciste,, keho naroda chteji mit pouhe otroky kochteji vyhlaxlit Cs. inteligenci a z (;esrnunIsmu. I komuniste uodnikli prvni fttok v UnorovYch dnech proti studentfun.

Postmaster: Please Semi For 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. 13OX 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Let Me Talky To Our From The SRIST Rest District Organizers Lon Saturday, November 21, your Editor and wife had occasion to visit the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, to chat with the guest and briefly visit with the Rest Home Personnel.

The sprawling Home was resting amid its plowed field, the fruit trees had almost finished shedding their leaves and the yellow chrysanthemums were a riot of color. The flower beds on the premises were in meticulous order. It was all so restful.

Inside the guests had just finished their noon meal, the attendants were clearing off the tables in the eating area and many of the guests had retired to their rooms to rest and to freshen up.

The place is spotless!

On catching up on children, grandchildren and their respective families, the talk veered to the Rest Home guests.

They are all well and happy. It is like a big family. There had been three Birthdays celebrated this week and Angle Food Cake and Ice Cream was served in observing each instance. They make an occasion of it, and the remembering of a birthday becomes a very dear experience.

Your Editor and I talked about the Rest Home all the way home. What a nice place for an aged and lonely person to be: among his own age group; era group, and the wonderful fellowship offered in comparison to a single room in a son's or daughter's home, where yowlin' grandchildren keep the family lively with their excess energy. It was not said needlessly, that children were meant for young people, for their take lots of tolerating and patience and understanding which old folks seem to lose in the aging. Our brotherhood can be proud of this Rest Home. It is a beautiful piece of Benevolence for the very members who founded the Order.

As Christmas approaches, brothers Rnd sisters, in all of your giving, won't you reserve a little for your SPJST Rest

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiarze to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

Home? Charity begins at home and the SPJST Rest Home is our own family's project. God Bless and Keep you, one and all! ) 4e

Don't Let Us Down December meetings are always important in our lodges. — As you all know that is the time for the nomination or election of our Lodge officers. Please attend your lodge meeting and do your part. You owe that much to your lodge and to other members that are always there to help your lodge to make it successful in future years. While you are there, plan a Christmas party for the young ones. )# 4e

Editor Many sincere thanks and congratulations to all our Districts that so far have "REACHED THE TOP" and secured their quota of insurance written.

If you District is missing please, help through your lodge to align yourself with our Winners,

We had a good "Get-together" and short course on fraternal insurance at Ennis, SPJST Hall Sunday the Nov. 22, Brother Arnold Vrla conducting.

You all have noted that each of us has ideas of value so let's not be satisfied. We realize that you District Organizers should think of ideas that could be helpful for selling more of our Insurance, improving our way of personal contact, attracting prospects by improved efficiency, advertising or other comparatively unimportant, but useful methods.

Let's share all good ideas with one another.

Please take a moment right now and think over what ideas you have found helpful recently, jot them down and send them to your district organizer.

Any good idea of yours, should be share with your organizers for the good of our Brotherhood.

The Editor Thanks! )•4*(

Senate Of The State Of Texas Dear Editor, Please accept, my sincere appreciation for your article and generosity in your current issue of Vestnik.

I believe that by working together we can do great good for those who are fortunate enough to speak and understand Czech. As a matter of fact, we have a real challenge in this because of the great need of our government for our people to awaken to the realism of the threats that have been thrown to us

by Russia.

Please know that I stand ready at all times not only to contine to enlarge on this our most bassic problem.

With kind regards, I am, Sincerely, Culp Krueger Senator, District 15

V tSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

District Three Held For Our City Friends To Consider Organize-ts Fall WorkAgain and again, all over Texas, farm shot, In Ennis spokesmen were emphasizing the folThe lodge organizers of District Three held a one-day workshop in the National Hall in Ennis, Texas, Sunday, November 22, to a very nice representation of lodges.

Brother Arnold Vrla, District Three Organizer, led the session through a lively and interesting course in techniques and practices to which everyone participated. Even the wives of the lodge organizers present listened attentively to the discussions and asked questions which Brother Vrla and our Vice-President Joe B. Hejny willingly clarified.

Visitors from District Five present took a keen interest in, the proceedings of this workshop. They were Brother Organizer and Supreme Lodge Director Skrabanek and his charming wife and Brother Valcik, member of the By-Laws Committee and his charming wife.

After the question and answer period, a delicious snack liar with refreshing beverages and hot coffee were served the gathering by the local sisterhood.

The huge pot of beans brought by Sister Helen Vrla brought praise from everyone present with many going back for second helpings. She has promised the Woman's Nook her recipe dust as soon as she can work one out, for Sister Helen is a "dash of this and a pinch of that" cook.

It was acknowledged by all to be a very informative and interesting session.

Those organizers who missed this session, missed an opportunity to be informed on new trend and thanking our Order.

Every profession today, holds its work shop to keep the profession abreast of new ideas and trends in their immediate work, and any Organizer who misses his workshop, misses out all the way around.

Values That Are Needed For Our Happiness All of us are looking for something good in our lives. We all want the best we can possibly obtain for ourselves and our loved ones.

With the abiding values of lifd we can have the very best. But what do we mean by abiding values? To answer that question we must first define the two words "abiding" and "values."

Abiding means something fixed or non-changing. Value means something useful of something desirable. Thus when we combine the two words we find that abiding values are something that are desirable and will remain unchanged through time. This, then, tells us what will make our lives worthwhile —the things that are desirable are also the things that will live through the ravages of time.

This brings us to the most important question of all. What are the abiding values of life? It would seem that there are three major ones, falling in the following sequence of importance.

First are the Social Values which are our relationships with our fellow man.

If we cannot live with man in peace, life is not really worthwhile.

Second come the Cultural Values which are our appreciation for education and the arts. Without education, life is very dull and meaningless.

Third are the Spiritual Values which are man's relations with Gdd, his Creator. Through the universal church and religion, man can find the Spiritual Values he needs to have a full life.

All three of these values are important if a life is to be complete and whole. If one is lacking, there is a void in that life which cannot be replaced. We all want the best so let's devote our lives to securing the Abiding Values of Life.

To Our "Would Be" Lodge Officers Listen to the philosophy of duty: "Any neglect of duty is a hurt to mankind," "It is important to perform your duty to the very best of your ability and to respect another person's job no matter what it is, because such an attitude furthers all of living. By the same measure, to take on duties you know very well you don't have the time or energy or willingness to perform is bad. It is easy to say you'll do this or that. But duty means performance."

Roman Parma Makes A Chair For The Browning Collection

By Helen Baldwin

Roman Parma said he'd never be a cabinet maker.

So, did his father, the late Roman Parma Sr., whose profession in life was cabinet baking.

To show how correctly both of them could predict, Roman is a cabinet maker and is an exceptionally good one.

A chair he has completed for the Arm-

strong Browning Library at Baylor University is an example of his work.

It is an exact duplicate of a chair the English poet used in his study befor his death. The original is at Yale University in New Haven, Conn.

It is of early Chippendale design, and all Roman had to go on as he made its duplicate was a series of photographs.

The photographer, not a cabinet maker sent him a few dimensions.

Roman began work on the chair about eight years ago. Most of his conversations about it have been with Mrs. A. J. Armstrong, wife of the Baylor English department chairman who established the Browning Library on the campus.

Mrs. Armstrong got pretty impatient with Parma's slow progress. He worked in his spare time. Raw mahogany boards he bought at 25 cents a foot years ago have since gone up to 75 and 80 cents.

Mrs. Armstrong asked him several times for, the pieces he had already coin-

17ESTNIK—"WEST, TEXAS

pleted, said she'd have them put together by somebody else. But Roman Parma can be as determined and adamant about a project he has undertaken as Dr. and Mrs. Armstrong ever were.

He declined to give them up. He offered to destroy them, piece by piece, in Mrs. Armstrong's presence, but yield them up to another furniture maker he never would.

But he completed the chair in time to take it to the library as a farewell gesture to Mrs. Armstrong, who retired as director of the library Sept. 1. It was also finished as a tribute to her late husband, who he considered a great man.

From a mahogany board, Roman plained the slanting back of the chair, to conformto the human spine. Perhaps the board could have been bent into that curve, particularly the air-seasoned mahogany he has in stock. But he preferred to shape it. Just laying out the pattern for that back took him three days.

Centering the back was a design carved in wood, and above it. in the photograph, was another design Roman could not fathom.

He is no wood carver, but he turned himself into one to complete that back.

Miss Sue Moore, who has done much work in the Armstrong Browning Library, and who knows about its properties explained the design above.

It is a silver inset of the poet's initials "R. B." Roman isn't turning his hand to silver work to produce this. It will have to be duplicated and fastened to the chair back to ma ke it identical to the original chair.

Parma found the arms hardest to make. They have concave and convex slants, and he had few exact measurements on their diameters at various spots. But he figured them out, just as he did the legs. Front and back legs of the chair are two separate styles.

The front pair terminate in a paw and ball design. He finds a claw and ball more satisfactory, but he followed the design Chippendale workmen had laid out.

About this air-seasoned mahogany he worked with. Cabinet makers say natural seasoning requires months for a piece of lumber to mellow properly. Kiln dried lumber takes much less time, but is not nearly as durable or dependable wood. As a matter of fact, cabinet makers don't like it at all.

After Roman had the chair completed he took it in clamps to Mrs. Armstrong at the library for approval. lie wasn't going to glue it together until then.

A partrait of Browning at his desk in London, seated in the chair Parma

Wednesday, December 2, 195a was duplicating, hung in the library.

Mrs. Armstrong compared his chair to the one in the painting.

"That's not the way to do it," he protested. "Here are photographs of the actual chair. Here is the chair I've made.

Compare THOSE two."

She did, and the piece must have met with her approval. It is finished, delivered paid for and stands in the library entrance hall.

Only work Roman Parma didn't do on it was the cane seating. Workers at the Lighthouse for the Blind, under Mrs. Sammie Rankin's direction supplied that. The cane seat added $10 to the chair's cost bringing the total to $150.

"But I wouldn't duplicate it again for $700," says Parma. "I'm glad I did it and I'm glad I got it finished in time to present to Mrs. Armstrong before she retired.

Another chair Parma has made for the library is also a copy. It duplicates one the Brownings had owned, now in the library — makes a pair of them the library owns.

He also made the organ console in Waco Hall, got it installed at 4 a.m. on the day the organ was to be dedicated.

Fate took a hand in proceedings, and an electrical power failure kept the organ from being played. But it has given forth sounds from that console thousands of times since.

Roman gives Mrs. Nathan Patten credit for his start in appreciating antiques.

He was born in Moravia and came to this country with his parents as a tiny baby. His father had a brother at West, so that's where the arrivals from Czechoslovakia came. Roman Parma Sr., spoke Czech and some German, but not a word of English.

He walked down the Katy railroad tracks from West to Waco, and on Franklin Avenue saw a man who looked like he might speak German.

So he addressed him in German, got a response in the same language. The man was Christian Mailander, father of the late Fred Mailander. Parma Senior got a job with him, as he had been trained as a cabinet maker in his native land. Later on Parma Junior got a job with the Mailander furniture factory.

When Mrs. Patten brought some furniture to the Mailander place for repairs, Fred Mailander said the only person in his shop who might do them was young Roman Parma.

He did the work for her, became so interested in furniture that he frequented Waco Public Library. Employes there got to where they'd lay books and magazine articles under the counter until.

Wednesday, December 2, 1959 he could drop in to see them.

He has amassed his own furniture library of about 75 volumes by now.

Two pieces of note stand in the Parma living room on South Twelfth. One is a grandmother clock that is a small grandfather clock, Roman explains. It used to hang in the Levinski or Narman jewelry store. He got the works from an elderly Negro man, and the clock tells day of the month as well as time of day. He built the intricate cabinet that holds it.

The other piece is a corner cupboard.

Centering each of the two doors is a pannel with a knot in the center of the grain. The two knots are not identical —they slant inward, facing each other.

Both are hand finished, not shellacked. ) ° •To °

Thirty-three lodges are in this district. Mr. Paul Sablatura of Louise, president, led' the meeting through a very short session of business so that the youth program and coronation of district queen could be completed in one afternoon. Lovely princess Elaine Elles and her escort Jimmie Elles of the La Salle lodge were crowned King and Queen, over several other princesses.

In the awards, two members of the Talton lodge, Mr. Rudolph Holub and Mrs. Paul P. Mrnustik Sr. receii ,ed the gold membership pin, both being members for 50 years. La Salle was chosen for the Spring meeting site.

The large hall was packed with visitors. Speakers were from the Headquarters in Temple and the editor of the organ's paper Vestnik. Also our own, the Honorable Senator Krueger, spoke to the gathering, urging them to teach with pride the Czech language, saying that the Czech language was the door to the Russian language which Americans should learn. SPJST was organized by Czech people and some part of most all meetings is conducted in Czech. The youth programs are in both Czech and English. The Vestnik is also published in both languages. After the meeting a very delicious lunch was served by ladies

And you girls remember to bring a bite to eat after the meeting that way we can enjoy our "gossiping" more.

I want to tell the Editor's wife how much I enjoy her letters, and the recipe for potato dumplings it is very good. I tried them and they are really delicious. I have eaten them before and enjoyed them very much, but never could get the recipe, so thank you Editor's Wife. I am wondering if any of you ladies would have the recipe for "Boni Milosti" my mother used to make them, but I never learned to make them.

I just love to eat them, but can not make them. Would appreciate the recipe very much.

Also enjoyed the article abo u t the goose, as it brought back memories of my childhood days, for my mother used to stuff the geese also, not with sisky but with soaked corn. Boy what eating that used to be.

Rosemary grows into an evergreen garden shrub. It can be shaped, trimmed back to form a compact silver-leaved hedge-like plant for background planting, or grown in tree shape sizes. As stat ed above, it is fairly hardy in our southern climate and some shrubs attain quite an old age. I have one in my garden on the farm that is at least seven years old. I keep it pruned back for compact growth, during the summer an occasional watering will keep it alive.

It can stand wet feet or dry feet and is quite happy. When one's dress brushes against it in the garden, immediately a pleasant aroma fills the air. It's quite romantic at night when suddenly your Rosemarian shrub says "hello" what a lovely night.

The Rosemary was to have been braught over to America by the English colonists settling at Williamsburg. There the shrub continued to serve as a Yuletide decoration as well as avalued item for seasoning in the kitchen and its medicinal qualities in the home.

Ancient legend has it, that the flowers of the Rosemary were miraculously changed from, the white color to blue when the Virgin Mary was to have hung her linen on the white-flowered shrub to dry and ever after the shrub's flowers have been blue as the Virgin's robe.

In the proverb line: Englanders have it "Where rosemary flourishes the woman rules." This may have been inspired from its use in the kitchen to flavor roasts and sauces, stews, etc.

For the old grandmothers like myself, or the young lover, a sprig or rosemary speaks a language of its own with a number of sentimental sayings attached to it.

"Rosemary is for Rememberance." also "Rosemary is for Love and Loyalty."

Withe this in mind the young man on Prague Bridge, in the Czech song about Rosemary was promising himself a bride if the shrub grew. Then: "Rosemary is for Friendship." These all have become classic mottoes.

Sprigs of rosemary were tnought to bring good luck at weddings. The Czech peasantry used it very extensively, because they all grew it, in their weddings -- in the bridal bouquet and bride-

YOUTH CLUB BE YOURSELF A teenager asks: How do you develop a "winning" personality? I try hard to ake people like me, but sometimes my efforts at being the life of the party only make me appear foolish. I talk too much, or I say the wrong things or things that are misunderstood."

Some teenagers are blessed in that they never have personality problems or difficulty in getting along with people.

But the majority have to work at it.

A "winning" personality can be developed, but as in the case of our friend above ane can work too hard at it.

There is an old saying which pointed out the fact that the best way to make people like you it to "be yourself." This is quite true. When we try to pattern our self after someone we admire for one reason or another, we have to be careful that we do not make ourself look foolish in the process.

A "winning" personality is not a particular type of personality, but instead 't is merely the ability to "win" people, or to make them "like" you. People can like you if you have a quiet personality or if you are more outward. But people can generally recognize a false front and forced enthusiasm. The chances of win-. ning people over and of making and keeping friends are much greater when one acts "natural" rather than "affected."

We should, of course, still work to improve our personality. If we are quiet, we should make the effort to enter a little more into the spirit of things. A good way to become a better conversationalist is by acquiring an interest in people. Most people are ready and willing to talk about themselves. If we learn to be a good listener, and work at it, then gradually we become a better talker, as, well.

Every day that we live we grow wiser.

Door prizes were given to four members, Michael Majek, Jerry Majek, Martha May Sasson and Virginia Hermis.

After the meeting about 12 members went skating. We all enjoyed it very much.

Our next meeting will be held December 13, 1959. We would like to remind all members to attend the meeting.

LODGE '56 CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Readers, I didn't attend the last meeting because I was out of town.

At this time I want to congratulate Queen Sister Elaine Joyce Elles and Brother Jimmy Elles, her escort both members of Lodge 123 Bennview, Texas.

Elaine, I wish you the best of everything during your reign. I know that someone worked real hard to help you earn this title.

Every basketball game that the Tuloso-Midway girls played have been won.

We hope to win all of them so we can go to the state. I also play on the team as a guard, the position which I have played for the past three years.

Two members of Youth Club56 were expelled by the director. At this same time there were several other members who should get the same punishment.

It's not fair to expell two members when the others are not any better mannered. I am hoping that this unpleasant situation will corrected in a satisfactory manner for all concerned.

The "Youth Guidance" printed by the Supreme Lodge states: "That children should be instructed to respect the rights of both friends and neighbors at all times. A youth director who is sincere in working with young people can direct their energy into useful channels of work and play."

I congratulate my sister Frances for being elected youth leader of Lodge 117.

I am sure that this lodge will have a successful youth club.

Hunters are interested in , obtaining exclusive hunting rights in return for their payments to the landowners, while farmers and ranchers are interested in regulating the use of their land by other people and in supplementing their income, says Ed Cooper, extension wildlife specialist.

Whenever details of the leasing arrangement or amount of money involved are of importance, the lease should be in writing. A written lease provides a basis for discussion of all the provisions affecting both hunter and landowner, and a signed copy should be kept by each.

Cooper and Fred Sargent, assistant professor, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, have written a leaflet, entitled, "Hunting Leases." A sample of a lease designed to cover the minimum provisions which all parties concerned should have clearly understood is included. Additional provisions should be added to the lease to cover special situations or conditions the contracting parties wish to include. Five additional provisions that can be added are also included.

A landowner may wish to issue daily permits to hunt or fish on his property.

Under some conditions this procedure will bring in a higher total return than the seasonal leases. Permits are also useful when no fee is charged. They make it possible for landowners to know who is on his land and also to inform guests of their responsibilities. Samples of day hunting and fishing permits and a courtesy permit are also included in the leaflet.

$780 Million Life Policy Funds Aid Jet Conyers]. n

More than one-half of the capital funds required thus far by the U. S. major airlines in their jet conversion programs is being provided by the investment of life insurance dollars.

"From the outset, the life insurance companies looked forward with the airlines to the tremendous potential for jet air travel in a manner both faster and more comfortable than most of us could imagine only a few years ago," said Holgar J. Johnson, president of the Institue of Life Insurance. "The long-term credit extended by these policyholder funds helped put the airlines in a financial position to carry through their most ambitious project to date."

Approximately $780,000,000 has already been invested or committed by the life companies for this jet conversion. Of this, $750,000,000 will have been loaned by the end of this year and commitments of $30,000,000 will be taken up in the first six months of 1960. Additional investments are expected to be made, further strengthening the life companies' position as the major investor in jet transportation. Present plans indicate that by 1962, the airlines will have $3,000,000,000 invested in jet or turbo-jet equipment.

The price-tag on today's jet airliner is estimated to be about $5,000.000 and the cost to date of the jets now flying the airlines or on the assembly line is upward of $1,500,000,000. Ai-line estimates indicate that about 30 percent of all traffic is being carried in jet airliners at the present time and by 1961 jets will be the main type of commercial air transport.

While the majority of financing, plans provide for outright ownership of jet planes by the airlines, one major airline has leased some of its jet engines instead of purchasing them. This particular program is jointly financed by two life insurance companies.

At the outset, when the airlines began initial financing for jet conversion four years ago, the life companies were among the important suppliers of needed funds, more than one-fourth of the financing set up at that time being life insurance investments. Since then, they • have icreased still further their finanEl Campo, will be held Sunday, Decemcing of jet conversion. ber 6, at the Community Center E.

WRITTEN FARM LEASE PREVENTS DISPUTES At this time of year, many landlords and tenants are thinking about farm rental arrangements for 1960. While some operate from year to year on the basis of verbal agreements regulated largely by local customs, written leases are better and may save disagreement and hard feelings between the parties.

Farming is a business and should be conducted in a businesslike manner for best success. Rental contracts involve a full year's work by the tenant and possibly thousands of dollars for both parties. A few dollars spent on a properly drawn lease is good business economy.

A farm lease is not a simple paper.

Printed lease forms often turn out to be traps if not understood, or if not properly executed. A farmer-tenant contract is intricate and of such importance to both parties concerned that amateur draftsmanship is risky.

Fixing of cash rent or designating the length of term are relatively simple. Yet even in thes matters, ambiguity or incompleteness can cause bitter disputes and expensive lawsuits.

A loosely drawn property description may have consequences entirely unintended by either landlord or tenant.

Where rent is to be based on acreage, an accurate description is doubly important.

In addition, there are legal rules to substitute for some ommissions in written leases. For example, a holdover by the tenant may autoroativally renew the contract if the lease is silent on the subject. It is as important to know the results of omissians as to know the court's iterpretation of the language used.

There are many matters which should be covered by a properly drawn lease.

For instance, if a tenant is to farm on a share basis, care should be taken to define what expenses are to be paid by the parties as well as what shares are to be taken out. A lease should cover such things as who is to make repairs, what land is to be cropped, wheth-

VESTbrilt—VVEST,TEXAS er the tenant can cut timber, whether loss of a building by fire or other cause freese the tenant, or whether the landlord must accept a sub-tenant.

On great cause of difficulty with leases is blind faith on the part of the persons involved that all differences of opinion can be worked out. Poor memories as to verbal agreements can cause disputes between persons even though they are both honest and generous.

Many of the possibilities that should be covered by a properly drawn lease will not occur to inexperienced persons.

The renting of land deserves a written contract, and it is a contract too important to be entrusted to anyone other than an expert.

(This column, prepared by the State Bar of Texas, is written to inform, not to advise. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully advised concerhing the facts involved, because a slight variance in facts may change the application of the law.) )

When Are You Overweight?

When is it time to diet? When are You overweigh? If you are over 30, then it is "twenty pounds sooner" than you thought, according to a new study made by the Society of Actuaries, an organization of about 2,000 men whose profession is that of "engineering" life and health insurance, annuities and pensions. The study covered the experience among nearly 5,000,000 men and women policyholders over the past 20 years and included figures from life companies representing three fourths of the country's life insurance.

Your "best weight" at ages over 30, according to this study, is about 20 lbs. under average" level. That means they have prospects for the longest life.

"Overweight" is thus found to begin some 20 pounds sooner than most people have been thinking. If they regarded 30 pounds above average as overweight before, they might now start this classification 10 pounds above average.

Nearly half of all men and women over 30 weigh 20 per cent more than their best weight, although only 6 per cent of all men and 11 per cent of all women weigh 20 pounds more than their average weight.

Of course, the best weight for a particular individual must take into concideration body frame, race and other factors. Thus it is better to look at the "range of best weights" — that is the

Strana 25 range of weights which makes some allowances for individual factors.

Individuals who fall within these limits appear to have the very best potential for gc ad health and longer life and those who weigh more might, inmost instances, add some years to their lives if they reduced their weight.

The study showed that overweight persons who reduce their weight to normal levels materially reduce their mortality hazard, for at least a period of years. ) • 8 • ( DECEMBER PLENTIFUL FOODS FOR SANTO'S BAG OF GOOD CHEER Santa Claus has nothing on American's food industry when it comes to providing tokens of December good cheer.

Through combined efforts of farmers, processors and distributors, Texas consumers will have an abundance of festive food items all month, to give holiday menus a hearty air.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture's December plentiful foods gives part of the picture, points out tile Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Pork and sweetpotatoes are featured items on the list. Food markets in Texas also will have more-than-usual supplies of broiled-fryers and small family-size turkeys this December, to provide a variety of "budget" meats.

Apples, raisins. almonds, filberts, and peanuts and peanut products — all ideal, for holiday treats — also are abundant.

Potatoes, onions, lard and vegetable fats and onions complete the 13-item plentiful foods list, as outlined by TJSLA Agricultural Marketing Service. A large number of other foods also will be,available in about normal volume.

So there will be a bonanza of holiday eating this December. Consumers may help themselves to the abundance, and to savings, by shopping the "plenti ful foods" way — items in good supply usually are priced more reasonably.

SPORTS ) • 4. • It is a great temptation to agree with certain people rather than engage in a hopeless discussion and waste one's time.

Rade titem kolei helma zavrena bez fafrnochri, s korunkou, ze ktere vystupoval vzprimeng kozel jako dole popsano, mezi dvema rohy, z Meld kahlY byl do polovice zlatY, od polovice stribrna obou rozich stridave.

"To je nag erb!" pravila stara pani a neubranila se povzdechu. A ji. " podala mu take kndku ne prili g hrubou, psanou.

Dupal, obirajici se rodokmeny starch, vladyckYch rodti deskYch, zaradoval se nemalo, kdy2 na titulnim listu deti, jak nasleduje: a co 2 stargrn, divngm Avabachem bylo psdno: "Rodopis Urozeneho Vladyka Krystofa Benedikta ebestina z astolovic".

Dupal zapomnel, Ze je navSlevou, a jal se y e knize prebirati a eisti, nevSlmaje sobe, e Tonik k Pottekovi odekl a Ze stara pani vedle sedi. Ji to v gak pranic nemrzelo; naopak te gila se, 'Ze stare ty listy, tYkajici se jejiho rodu, velebneho pana tak zajimaji. Ten horlive probiral celY rodokmen, prohli&I tmrti, sriatky atd., a na konec na starou svatebni smiouvu v origindlu zachovanou, na ni podepsdn byl Vdclav ebestiani z e a s t oslavic, nevesta jeho Lidmila z Kiesperka a svedkove 13altazar ze Staudenraugfr, fil. et med. doktor, a Mikula g Elefan primator. — Pani Zarubova jala se vykladati o teto neveste, o rodu z Kelsperka a ve gkeremu pribuzenstvu, o slave i upadku sveho rodu.

Dupal naslouchal napjate, jen tu a atmtam kratkYmi otazkami hovor preruguje, na konec pak nernohl umleeti obdiv svirj nad podrobnou znalosti rodinne kroniky, jako 2 i radost nad tim, 2e mu dnes tak gtesti pralo, poznati tak Nig tednou vlastenku a videti mnoho zajimad-eh veci, tYkajicich se mild mu staro bytosti.

Ani on, ani babieka nev gimali sobe, Z"e za toho hovoru dvefe nekolikrate tige se pootevrely a 2e Tonikova usmivajici se hiava do svetnice nahleollo a hned zase zmizela.

Irenka vgak sedela °nodal, hosta pozorujic i naslouchajic. Kdy pak babieka podala svilj vS7klad, tu sebou ani nehnula. Bylo div, ji to vypravovani tak zajimalo — Tonika by zajiste unavovalo, ne-li nudilo, ale Irena neslygela jen pouha, jmena; iiva obrazotvornost

Ve stfedu, tine 2. prosince 1959 prevadela ji lidi davngch east, voIne a prisne v rozmanitYch, podivnYch oblecich, s velikymi limci a stra gnYmi kordy, i krasne, blede pani ve tmavem gate ktere se ji v gecky tak smutnYmi bYti zdaly.

Koneene vstal Hippolyt Dupal ,a ne2 stara pani mohla pozvani prednesti, aby k ni easteji zavital, ji2 sam 0 to poi-ádal, dokladaje, 2e tak milo a utegeno si davno nepohovoril a 2e by rad v gechny ty poklady zevrubneji sobe prohledl.

Tu teprve take v giml sobe vice pribledle, sliene vnueky, k ni2 nekolik vlidnYch slovidek promluvil, ji hebke, Berne vlasy pohladil.

Pani Zarubove, darmo se po Tonikovi ohldela. — Dupal ode gel, mrknuv jegte jednou po stare podobizne. Te gil se velmi te nove znarnosti.

Stara, pani pak vyplisnila Tonika nad obycej 'Aisne, ze tak beze v geho a nev gimave ode gel, dokladajic, 2e studenti ani nevedi, jakeho vYteeneho mai l profesora, 2e ho ani radne nedovedou oceniti.

Kdy2 potom Potrieek u ni se na slovieko zastavil, chvalila mu velmi velebneho pana, jen2 je dtednY vlastenec a znatel historic, a s nim2 je milo pohovoriti.

Tak seznamil se Hippolyt Dupal s pani Zarubovou a znamost ta za nedlouho zpilsobila take, 2e sbirka kopytova mistra Pottreka se rozhojnila. Pater Anastas prestal bYti poslednim v fade; postaven vedle neho pater Hippolyt, recte kopyto jeho boty.

Pied skladem Gaussovgm sedavalo v podloubi na lavici za slunnYch odpoledni nekolik starch panii, vetginou pen kteri dny sveho odpoeinku traVili v rodnera meste. Nejvet gi vanosti po2ival gedid plukovnik, syn nezamo2nYch zdej gich rodiehl, jen2 za valek fra,ntouzl skYch tuto dilstojnost si vybojoval. Vedle neho seddval takta gedivg hrinotng setnik. Tito dva, bylo-li pekne, megkali ka2de odpoledne na laviece na podloubi, k nim pfidru2i1 se nekdy vrchostenskg direktor a nekdy take rektor koleje piaristicke a gkol. Mluvivali 0 vi-e: o vojne, o poeasi (dasto) o jidlech a o vine (velmi east()) a kdy2 Gauss mezi ne pHgel, zavedl fee na mestske a rodinne zále2itosti, t. j. klevetili.

Make Those Minor Home Repairs Now With winter weather upon us, although winter has not officially begun, now is the time to check your hou-Ae and other buildings to see if any part of the structures need replacement or repair is the advice of W. S. Allen, extension agricultural engineer, Texas A. and M. College.

Inspect the roof to see if the shingles are curled or split. Check metal flashing in roof valleys, around chimneys and other critical points. If they are in poor condition, replace or repair.

Clean all gutters and downspouts.

Check to see if they are firmly fastened and look for rusty spots. A wire screen over the downspout will help prevent leaves and trash from entering and choking off the drain. When gutters overflow, you risk expensive damage to the cornice or walls of the house.

Be sure water from the downspout drains away from the foundation, warns Allen. Check all drainage around the foundation and fill in any low spots to assure; proper ad adequate drainage way from it. This will help prevent "heaving" and other potential damage problems.
