FROM El Cantlp Newspaper Tries New Method To Combat Communism Wars can be won with words also.

The El Campo Leader-News beginning April 1 started a series of language lessions going from. English to Czech to Russian in the ,Svoboda section.

This is revolutionary but is not on a spur-of-the-moment impulse. The fact that so many people of our area speak the Czech, language, plus the fact that the Czech and Russian languages are so similar, was a factor in the decision.

Those with a knowledge of Czech can learn the Russian language, both to speak it and to write it, with far less effcrt than those without this knowledge.

The opportunity.to serve our country and the free world by teaching American citizens to understand the Russian language was one which challenged The Leader-News.

The fact that more than 10 million Russians are studying and learning to speak English while only 8,000 Americans are trying to to learn Russian is startling.

Every loyal American with a knowledge of the Russian language will be a priceless asset, if this country ever gets into war with the Soviet Union.

The Leader-News asked our national and state leaders about our proposal to have Czech and Russian weekly language lessions in the Svolooda section.

We found the response not only favorable but enthusiastic.

Political and educational leaders have also endorsed the idea. We shall present these opinions in succeeding issues.

Meantime we urge our readers to consider this opportunity to serve the free world by learning Russian.

THE

EDITOR'S DESK Much advertised "ten week courses" in Russian are misleading. Learning a foreign language is hard work and ten weeks is but a brief introduction. Begin by learning the mother tongue of your parents and give yourself a head start.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge AllegiaAce 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."

Berried easure At last, the most neglected orphan in the USA — foreign languages — is to be given the attention it deserves. Many high schools and colleges have started foreign language courses. There is, however, a scarcity of teachers. By the National Defense Act of 1958, 19 new foreign language training centers have been started for prospective teachers of foreign languages with Russian at the top of the list.

Good news from Lincoln, Neb. — After a lapse of many years, a course in Czech is again being offered for credit through the Extension Division of the University of Nebraska to those with a Czech background and some familiarity with spoken Czech as well as to beginners totally unfamiliar with the language. Students will recive three hours of elective college credit. Dr. V. Kucera is the instructor. This is the best answer to our country's plea to students to master a second language. Slav languages are especially important now.

Nebraska should be a rich "student reservoir" as many Nebraskians are of Czech blood, the descendants of the 70,000 pioneers who came there 80 years ago.

Wednesday, Decembe

9, 1959

VESTNTK—WEST, TEXAS hearth, the holiday began on Christmas eve. Then a great supper was cad for relatives and friends, many of hom had traveled hither for days on horseback or by horsedrawn coach.

Christmas has had it s own history in America. It is a history composed by generations of people from across the seas — from many periods in time, many countries, and many cultures. And many older Americans today, who recall Christmas of years gone by, regret the passing of the home-made toys, the weeks of baking traditional cookies and cakes, and the unhurried, calmer, and less costly preparations for the holidays.

In the colonial period — say from 1620 to 1776, the year we declared our ndependence --- the festival of Christ'as was celel'rate 1 in varying manner.

In the bk‘ i etilenients of New England, the Pil g i im fathers strictly forbade any, celebration of Christmas. They hod come to these shores as re; l e- from religious persecution in England; and they held to the conviction that their ',tan faith— stern hd austere as it — could not tolere to the feasts and merrymaking that hod marked the Christmas season in the old country.

This attitude persist e d in New England until the early nines een th century.

But a different , ,niey, )here prevailed mong their nei ghbo rs to the south, the uteh settlers in whoi. is now New York. the appointe , 1 day for the celebration of the birth of Christ and Christmas eve as well, meant for the children a visit from Sinterklaus, the eral and generous St. Nicholas who was to become known as Smita Claus, and who filled their wooden shoes with s and sweets while they slept. And for the adults it meant church services and prayers, visits and good wishes froaq friends and relatives and a feast that reminded them of the homes they had left in Holland.

All down the Atlantic coast, the observances of Christmas reflected the national origins and religions of the colonists, for the Swedes in New Jersey, the Quakers in Pennsylvania, the Roman Catholics in Maryland, to the Episcopalians of British stock in Virginia and settlements farther south. In some of the southern states, Christmas was and still is celebrated with fireworks, a custom Ns Inch was introduced by French settlers in Louisiana, and Italians and Spaniards in Florida.

In.colonial , 21-day celebratio n . the weeks of u s ! ling prepar,:.ien of meats, fowl end pastries, the g athering of greens in the woods and the selection and cutting of the great Yule log for r the open

During the late colonial years, Christmas customs were enriched and harmonized through the arrival of immigrants from the Old World, as they were also to change and blend during a century and a half of the Republic. In 1741 a colony of Ger -nans, settling in eastern Pennsylvania, founded a town on Christmas eve. They called it Bethlehem, in grateful memory of the birthplace of Jesus. And they celebrated the birth in the manger by reconstructing the ancient scene as described in the New Testament.

Thus these settlers from Germany intred tn-r1 to oilier colonists a custom criainally I,egi.n in Italy -- that of setti og it in mitnatare the creche or crib with the holy family, the shepherds, the Magi bearing gifts from Persia for the newborn child, and the farm animals of Biblical times.

The Christmas tree itself, symbolic of everlasting light, did not make its ap pea,rance in this country until the middle of the last century. It, too, was a gift of German immigrants, those American neighbors of many cultures adopted it and ma de it the focal point of Christmas festivities. Early in the present century the custom of setting up a community Christmas tree in public squares began to spread.

It was the Irish immigrants, who began to come to America in large numbers in the nineteenth century, who brought with them the custom of putting a lighted candle in the window at Christmas time. They had used such candles to light the way of the priest who had come to pray with them on Christmas eve in Ireland.

The singing of carols during the Christmas season was publicly revived — it was an old English institution — shortly after the turn of the present century in Boston, that same city where for many years any celebration of Christmas had been outlawed, The Christmas carols of Euro pe, some of them centuries old, arrived with the people who came here to settle. From Austria came "Silent Night". England sent "God Rest You Merr, Gentlemen"; France gave America the beautiful "Cantique he Noel" (0 Holy Night). And from no one country but rather as the Wit of Europe to the New orld we have "Adeste Fidelis" (0 Come, All Ye Faithful), a carol which has been translated into more than a hundred languages and dialects.

L.1. 0.11t4

Still other carols are Hungarian, Polish, Lithuanian, Ukranian, Scandinavian — in fact they are sung in almost all the native languages of the people that make up America. )•

Brother Kebrle is survived by his wife, Carrie, two children, a son, John Jr. and daughter, 'Mrs. Jack McClure, four grandchildren; also stepmother, Mrs. Anastazie Kebrle of Czechoslovakia, Sisters, Mts. George Skotak of Dallas, Bertha Pary, zek, brothers Vojtech Kebrle and ,Rudolph Kebrle, all of 'Czechoslovakia.

Services were held at Weiland-Mer, rett Funeral Chapei Wednesday after-; noon at 3:30 p.m. ROT. 13ertram L. Smith officiated, assisted by Will A. Nesuda.

Interxnent in Grove Hill Cemetery, Dal, las.

It is with heavy- heart that I write these lines, for with the passing of Johnnie Kebrle, an era has come to .an end. Not only I, but many like 'me have lost a very close and dead friend.

His untiring devotion to his lodge and his fellow members is surpassed only by the greatness othig humanitariar. heart.

Countless numbers of wonderful plays and operettas over the past years, under the capable direction of Brother John Kebrle, were presented for the benefit of both, Sokol Zizka and Lodge J.aro and Pokrok No. 84 Dallas. Not so many years aga, many an aspiring young actor or actress were given their chance to perform on the Czech stage, thanks to Johnnie Kebrle.

Johnnie's pride and joy at one time was the Czech Choral group or "Zpevvecky Krouzek", among which I was honored to be a member. This was a wonderful contribution to local Czech culture; in the learning of Czech songs both new and old, and singing at various Dallas functions and in surrounding 'cities. Not to be Overlooked was the C'zech, concert orchestra composed of Czech musicians from Dallas and surrounding towns under Brother Kebrle's talented guidance. His -knowledge , of music and the finer arts was only surpassed by his generous heart, his love of life and his fellow man. His undying loyalty and devotion to his own family will always be remembered, and so it is, his presence will be missed by all that were near and dear to him. Our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.

May our deceased Brother rest in eternal peace.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner )• FORT WORTH, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: "After finishing the usual business of the lodge in our last lodge meeting, a discussion of Other Lodge Business came before the body. The Property Committee of Lodge 92, came up with the recommendation of our lodge attorney that we change the name of our lodge from Bohemian Club to the National Hall as it originally had been named — for the Bohemian Club is a misnomer, which suggested a gathering of Bohemians or gypsies (in free translation) which brought no honor to the Czechs and their proud heritage.

"It didn't occur to me," said Brother Bartek, "that there would be any opposition to this change, but there was, last as, there had been opposition to changing the name from National Hall to the Bohemian Club, as it is known today. After a lengthy debate in our meeting, it was decided to table the matter until our next meeting.

"At that time, many years ago, it wasn't so surprising, for the Hall's beginnings were very difficult, before we got into the swing of managing it profitably; our lodge functions often didn't cover our expense.t. As the saying goes: 'A drowning person latches onto

Wednesday, December 9, 1959 a straw." And so it really wasn't too surprising when the Entertainment Committee at that time came to the meeting with the suggestion as recommended by our Orchestra, that the Hall change its name to the Bohemian Club; that it would suggest the Hall was open to the public. Reluctantly, the change was made over opposition to the Bohemian Club, which did not help increase attendance or monies in our coffers.

"Many of you to this day don't know why this change had been made, so now you know! Regrettably. it took a war (in which we lost two young members) to pull our Hall out of debt, but the dispicable name upon which even our Czech people frown, remained with us.

"So, sisters and brothers, I sincerely hope that many of you will come to our next lodge meeting on December 13, and with your help erase the name that never did give us any prestige, (the moniker was given the Czechs by the Germans in derision during the struggle for national rule by the Germans) so, come and execute your duty by voting FOR or AGAINST the name change as well as selecting your choice of lodge officers for the coming year, as well as delegates to the Convention next year.

"In full confidence I am looking forward to seeing all of you then, I am.," Fraternally, J. R. Bartek )•• • WHAT IS A PROSPECT? He is the most important person we know.

He is not dependent on us — we are de pendent on him.

He is not an interruption of our work, he is the main purpose of it.

H _e is not an outsiwer to us, he is part of us.

He is not a cold statistic — he is a flesh and blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own, and with biases and prejudices.

He is a person who is in need of insurance. It is our job to handle him profitably to him and to ourselves.

He is not someone to argue or match wits with. Nobody ever won an argument with a prospect.

Now and then people seem to forget these basic truths. It is high time to be remembering them. Tomorrow may be too late.

Brother John Krizan was elected delegate to the Convention, while Brother J. Janecka was elected as his alternate.

Sister Ruth Krizan, Reporter, will give the Vestnik readers a complete write-up of the meeting, program and the dance held that night at Cottonwood Lodge.

The discussion to purchase a microphone for use in the meeting so that all could plainly hear all the proceedings, as well as for use in Youth Programs was brought before the house.

Jaromir's Reporters will give you more details on the motion of Brother Freund and the one regarding refreshments as well as renumeration to those ladies who worked along side of their husbands in all of Jaromir's functions. Look for this report in the very near future.

The days program begins with a dinner at 1:00 p.m. to be served by the Sokol ladies — consisting of "Roast Pork with Kne,dliky a Zeli or applesauce, sweet pota ties and slaw, Czech pastry and coffee."

Women's Nook SLOVAN JIHU LODGE NO. 26 Skidmore, Texas Dear Friends and Members, I will let you know that the regular lodge meeting No. 26 was postponed until Dec. 13, 1959.

So all you members be there, and its election time for officers for the coming year of 1960, and the RVOS meeting will be in the afternoon too. Do not neglect this.

Yours truly, Mary Veroda Secretary Lodge No. 26 —.) • 4 • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: I know this is a busy time for all of you, what with running the home, meal planning, and the thoughts of Christmas presents in the back of your mind.

Many of you have served the left over Thanksgiving turkey or ham to your family until they can't eat it any more.

Why not grind it up or cube it and put it in your deep freeze for use later on, possibly baked with noodles.

I finally found a recipe that my dear mother used for Jellied Veal or Beef.

Mother used to buy meat and soup bones and make this jellied beef, which we liked very much. If I remember correctly, sometimes we sprinkled vinegar on it if we didn't have a vinegar base salad or pickled beets. Mother used to cut the cooked meat in large pieces, add a row of very thin sliced lemons on the bottom of the mold which when turned out, brought the lemons on top to look very appetite appealing and which added a nice flavor to the jellied meat.

Jellied Beef (or veal) 2 pounds of veal or beef shank 1 pound veal shoulder 2 quarts of boiling water 1 tablespoon salt 10 peppercorns 1 bay leaf onion if perferred 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger if prefered Put the meat in a large, heavy souce

V2STN2K -- WEST TEXAS pan with the boiling water, Add salt, bay leaf and the peppercorns. Bring to boil. Skim off foam. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer slowly two hours, or until the meat is tender and slips off easily from the bone. Remove the meat from the broth.

Strain the broth and return to sauce pan. Now, bring to rapid boil, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to one quart.

Remove the meat from bones. Cube or put through medium blade of food chopper. Add meat to the broth with the ginger and black pepper. Turn into loaf pan and cool. A 9x5x2 pan will do. Chill until firm.

When ready to serve, unmold onto a chilled platter. Slice and serve with pickled beets, or green salad. I hope your family likes this recipe.

These jellied molds also known as "aspics" where gelatin is used are especially popular at Holiday time for their attractive appearance when a fancy mold is used. Tomato aspic is well known for its attractive color, but oftentimes doesn't come out as firm as we would like to have it. It may be you have not allowed enough time for the aspic to set. The thinking on this subject is that overnight setting of the aspic is desirable. Don't however try to hasten the jelling by putting a mold in the freezer as this causes crystals to form and retards setting.

The manufacturers of unflavored gelatine state that insufficient quantities of gelatin is another cause or aspic failure. The correct ratio is 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin to each 2 cups of liquid or 2 cups of solid. For instance, aspic using 2 cups of liquid and 1 cup of solids — such as vegetables, fruit, meat poultry or seafood — wol,:d need 1 1/2 envelopes of gelatin.

If you add sugar, count it as part of the liquid. Either add more gelatin to correspond with the 2-to-1 ratio, or substitute sugar for liquid in equal amounts.

To prevent unflavored gelatin from lumping, sprinkle it slowly onto cold liquid. If the recipe calls for sugar, you can bypass the softening step. Simply add the gelatin to the sugar, allowing at least 1-tablespoon of sugar for each envelope of gelatin, mix well and add the hot liquid, remembering to include what ever additional liquid you would have used to soften the gelatin.

The liquid need not be boiling, but it should be hotter than that from a hot water tap.

Unmolding the jelled product is for many cooks, the hardest job of all. This is the recommended technique:

Strana 19 Place a metal mold in very warm — not hot — water 2 or 3 seconds; a heatproof glass dish, 4 to 6 seconds.

Remove the mold from water and run the tip of a paring knife all the way around the edge of the mold, to a depth of about 1-inch. Place a dish on top of the mold, hold them together securely and turn them over. Shake the mold gently to release the aspic. If it does not unmold, repeat the dipping process. Grape Bavarian is a good molded dish to try on these above suggestions.

In a saucepan, combine one 31/4 ounce package of vanilla pudding mix with 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin, 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cup grape juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cool thoroughly.

Pour 1 1/2 cup of ice water into a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of instant nonfat dry milk crystals and whip about 3 or 4 minutes until stiff.

Using the same beaters, whip the pudding until light. Fold into the whipped milk, Fold in 1 cup of seedless, green grapes, halved. Spoon into 1 14 quart mold an dchill until set. Unmold and serve the garnish of additional whipped (-Try milk or grapes. Use your prettiest dish.

Good luck with your aspic — I hope it will add zest to your table.

Then you take the mounds of dough and roll them out into long ropes, ;using the four large ropes for the bottom braid; then the three of the smaller ropes for a braid which you placeupon the buttered large braid; and the remaining two are twisted around each other to make a ridge on top of the buttered three braids. Press the ends together. These braids as they are made are stacked on a large baking dish, sheet (I use my roasting pan) which is lined with a well buttered sheet of paper — (to keep it fron-4 browning too much before it is baked through) and when the braids are stacked upon each other, let the Twist rise again in warm place to double its bulk. Bake in a 325 degree oven for an hour and 15 minutes or until done. Before placing the Twist in the oven, brush well with beaten egg. I usually use a clean broom straw which I stick in the fold of the Twist clan through to check for doneness.

You have a choice of using whole eggs in the Christmas Twist which makes it more moist, whereas if you use more of the egg yolk the Twist is more dry and flaky and crusty.

For individual gifts, I make a baking pan of the four-braided twists and the two rope ridge on top, which I sprinkle with powdered sugar and wrap in tissue paper before boxing.

This twist is good even when it starts to get hard for moistening the slices and warming them in the oven freshens them, or they are good even as toast.

To Sister Mrs. Mary Janak, the recipe fot the "Bozi Milost" or the "Celestial Crusts" as known in English which your dear mother probablY made for you as a child is as follows: In a howl, break three whole eggs, three tablespoons of sugar is added and one tablespoon of butter. Then add 1/4 cup sweet n4ilk. Pinch of salt. Add enough flour to this mixture to make a stiff dough for noodles. Knead well.

Roll out on floured board into a thin sheet and cut into squares. Prick these squares with a fork and fry them in shortening or a shortening-butter combination until "pink." These, too, may be dusted with powdered sugar. I am very happy that the potato dumplings turned out well for you and that your family liked them. Please write to the Girls in the. Nook again!

Here's wishing you lots of pleasant moments in your kitchen during these busy days, with lots of health to you all.

Vt ST NI — WEST, TEXAS There is a lot of "virus" bug among folks. If your family gets it, don't delay calling the doctor, for special medication, as the usual home remedies just won't get the job done and , your patient will very rapidly become painfully sick and dehydrated. If caught at the very start, the bug can be stopped before the patient suffers too much stomach pain and weakness.

God Bless and Keep You, one and all.

Everyone received letters inviting them to the party. The information contained in the' letters was: The Christmas Party will be held at Linden Hall in Elm Mott on Saturday, December 12, 1959 from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. All the members are invited to attend and may invite guests.

It was no one's birthday, but we decided to have this night as a surprise birthday party for all our members. The cake was very pretty and decorated for the occasion as well as for the hillbilly party which we were having. As a rememberance of this night we gave each member a ballpoint to keep.

The rest of the evening was spent 'dancing (girls asking the boys), and as an added attraction we had a "floor show" by Jtuanita Janousek and Carole Nemec. The boys couldn't be outdone by the girls so Richard Sykora came to the rescue. One can't believe without coming, how much good fun we can have whenever we get together.

Before closing we want to thank our

chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Kaska as well as our Youth Leader, Mrs. Bessie Petr (Mama Bessie) and her assistant, Mrs. Carlyn Ondrusek, for sacrificing their evening to spend it with us.

Also like to add that our club will hold its regular business meeting on. December 13. At this meeting we will hold our annual election of officers and committees.

TEENAGERS OF LODGE 84, DALLAS Dear Readers Although this is a little delayed, I'd better report on our last activity which was the "Sadie Hawkins Party." It was held for all our teenage members and their friends.

Everyone present enjoyed themselves and hated to go home at the concluding record. It all started about 8:00 and there was fun til after 11:00 that night.

At the beginning we had a riddle for the teenage members and the first one to guess the correct answer would receive a popular record. Well they all put their heads to work and Carole Nemec was the first to guess the correct answer.

She then came up for her prize. The rest of the evening was spent dancing and what have you. Around 9:30 all the teenage members present formed a line at our conference room door.

If your man enjoys hunting or shooting, chances are there's nothing he'd rather find under the tree than a new gun. Your sporting goods dealer can be of great assistance in. helping you choose the proper rifle or shotgun, especially if you can give him the following information: To determine the best model for your shooter, he'll want to know if your man is a hunter, the type of game he ordinarily shoots. Or, if he goes in for target shooting, does he prefer trap or skeet? A list of the guns he already cwns will also give some idea of his preferences. Since fit is important in a fine gun, your sporting goods dealer will ask your man's sleeve length and neck size, This will help him fit the gun to the man and make sure that the gun you give is the perfect gift come Christmas morning.

• • November Fines More than 300 Texas hunters paid fines last month for violation of game laws, according to the director of law enforcement of the Game and Fish Commission. In all 461 persons were arrested for hunting and fishing violations. They paid $13,115.35 in fines and costs. Four served jail terms.

Despite warnings about hunting with unplugged guns, 49 paid fines for carrying shotguns with more then threeshot capacity. Next on the list 46 paid fines for killing too many doves.

Failure to have hunting and fishing licenses brought fines for 98 persons.

There were 39' arrests of automobile hunters and seven for headlighting game animals. Quail shooters also got in too big a hurry and 37 killed them out of season.

There were a number of violations on

"Guessing and hunting, like drinking and driving, don't mix" warns the Executive Secretary of the Texas Game and Fish Commission. "The famous first words of a hunter who has just killed his buddy is: "I thought he was . .• . " "This year's hunting accidents have been reasonably low considering the number of hunters going into the field each day," said the executive. "If all those planning to hunt this year will just resolve not to load their rifles until on the spot they plan to hunt, keep the safety on and muzzle up until ready to sight in, and be certain that what they sight is not another hunter, accident records this year will remain low."

"Excitement sometimes leaves our minds blank for seconds time enough to miss a deer or kill a friend,"said the executive. "If you're not positive it's game, don't squeeze the trigger. The chance cut of a thousand that it isn't your game it too great a chance to take. It's far better to return empty handed than to take a chance on accidentally killing a friend."

• • "Those who criticize the annual hunting regulations will do well to ponder the background. Even today, disgruntled sportsmen occasionally express the opinion that the Federal regIllations are unnecessary and unwarranted, and that the control of hunting for migratory water fowl should be returned to the states. The pages of history speak to the contrary." There are the words of Albert M. Day, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, taken from his book "North American Waterfowl." The book has been reviewed for the December issue of Texas Game and Fish magazine, according to the Director of information and education, Texas Game and Fish Commission.

"Hunting regulations must be made on the basis of the current situation on the breeding grounds. It is obviously impossible for anyone to sit down in midwinter and determine off-hand what the waterfowl hunting should be for the following season," writes Day. He then tells of the systems and methods used for determining the seasonal limits each year. He also lists some returns, gained through well-organi ed, extensive banding operations.

"Unforgiving Nature constantly reminds us that as we sow, so shall we

Strana 25 reap. Dust storms, eroded and abondoned farm lands, overgrazed and ruined, ranges, floods lowered water tables, droughts, and dried up and polluted streams p r ovide unmistakable warnings" says the author. "They shall convince us that conservation must not be regarded as a sentimental hobby or harmless pastime of impractical nature loVers, daydreamers, duck hunters, fishermen, and scientists, but as , urgent business of individuals, society and of government." . ) • 4, • ( NUTRIENTS ESSENTIAL IN WINTER DIET Healthful nutrition is a year round job. But as cooler weather arrives in Texas is becomes increasingly important to guard against falling victim of "winter susceptibility."

There really isn't any such term, but the fact of the matter is that body resistance may be lessened during fall and winter. For this reason it is smart to observe, more than ever, the rules of good nutrition.

The well-fed family receives the basic foods in their daily diet. rood rich in protein should be served at every meal.

Meat, fish, poultry, eggs arid milk (including milk products like cheese and ice cream) are the best source of high quality protein. Other 'sources are cereals, peas beans, and nuts.

A green or yellow vegetable should be served at least once a day. These contain essential vitamins and minerals.

Because it cannot be stored in' the body, vitamin from citrus fruits, tomatoes and other fresh or processed fruits and vegetables is. needed every day.

With the addition of these to round out meals according to tastes and appetites, the well-fed family is provided with all the nutrients needed for health and growth.

Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day because you have gone without food for sucn a long period of time. One-third of our daily diet must be eaten at breakfast.

Breakfast is essential to children.

Fruit, meat or eggs and cerial or bread and butter and milk should be included in every breakfast.

Three good meals a day will go a long way toward keeping you fit through fall and winter and all year long.

Food Inspectors Bring Health of the United Sta.tes and Other Favorable Results The recent outcry over *a seasonal food Nations item points up the necessity of keeping a sharp eye on , the world's biggest enterprise -- the food business.

In Tekas, the champion of the consumer is the Food and Drug Division of the, Texas State Department of Health.

Its Federal counterpart is the Food and Drug Administration of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

The division was set up in 1925 by Texas Legislative action permitting the establishment of food standards and the authority to enforce them.

Sgnificant improvemens in some food industries show the effectiveness of the various inspection programs.

Sines the enactment of the Texas Milk Grading and Labeling Law in 1937 Texas 'milk quality has improved until today approXimately 95 per cent of all columned milk is Grade A pasturized.

Mare important, there has not been a food poisoning outbreak traced to milk in the last 20 years.

In 1946-48, over 700 cases were filed on fOod and drug law violators but in 1957-59 less than a hundred needed to be-brought to court.

In the words of Joe Lakey, division director, "Violations are going down.

However, if we didn't 'keep looking for violations we would have a lot more of the in."

Looking for violations are 12 food and drug inspectors. Five devoted full-time to,th9 milk program; the rest must keep an., eye on 'all food production.

Besicies looking for chemical or bacterial contamination of food products, insprtators 'Watch out for economic violations- OI miabranding — making sure the public gets what it pays for.

Observation by a trained eye plays a key; role during inspections. Products which are, doubtful are submitted to Health_, Department laboratories for checking=

If a violation is found, the product is rehloved from distribution and a correctionnmade in the establishment to prevent `future contamination. In nearly all cases, the improvements or removal of products from the market are voluntary.

During the 1956-58 beinnium, 1,548,006 pounds of unsuitable food were destroyed and 1,125 drug items destroyed.

—.Texas State Dept. of Health ) e fret To . th politician the election campaign of 1960 is well underway.

The American people are much concerned with the state of their health.

National, state and local expenditures for health are large. Health instruction is a required subject of schools. Industry maintains health facilities and heal-. th programs for workers. Labor unions have their health proerams and hospitals. Health is the single most common activity of voluntary organizations and of private foundations. Many millions of Americans have insurance policies to pay costs of hospital care and treatment.

This concern relates not merely to the sense of well-being and the physical comfort that go with good health but recognizes also the relation of health to job efficiency, to economic productivity, and even to national security.

As a nation the United States is among those enjoying the best health.

Conditions a century ago or even a half century ago, however, were very different. The status of American health today reflects the training of hundreds of thousands of doctors, dentists, nurses, laboratory technicians, research scientists, sanitary engineers, and public health administrators. It reflects the activities of the U.S. Public Health Service, the state and municipal health departments, and, the great contribution of private foundations. And it indicates the wide public knowledge of good health .practice — learned in school and home through newspapers, magazines, radio and television; motion pictures, and in other ways.

The progress of public health in the United States is one reason for believing that the enormous health problems of the newly' developing countries may be overcome and in a much shorter period of time and at much less expense than in this country. Death rates from preventable disease formerly were high in the United States also.

For example, the death rate from tuberculosis . (death registration states only) was 194.4 per 100,000 pouplation in 1900 but had declined to 22.5 per 100000 in 1957. In the Philippines the rate was 100.7 in 1956, in Brazil it was 95.8 in 1954, in Chile 69.9 in 1954.

In the United States in 1900 the death rate from typhoid (death registration states only) was 31.2 per 100,000. By 1950 the rate was down to .1 and in 1955 was 0. Ecuador's typhoid death rate was

Wednesday December 9, 1959 25.4 in 1955, Mexico's was 11.3 and Guatemala's 9.8.

Life expectancy rates are ' rising as public health programs safeguard the lives of more and more people. But even today there is a wide disparity; '70 years in the United States; 35 to 40 years in most of the free nations of Asia, except for Japan which has a rate of 66 years; 45 to 50 years in most nations of Latin A -nerica, although Argentina and Costa Rica have rates of 59 to 60 years. One authority has stated that even as late as 1880 the average length of life in the New England states and New York City probably did not exceed 40 years. The people of the United States early recognized their community of interest with the people of other nations and the U.S. has long supported measures for inter= national control of infectous disease The first permanent internationa.; health agency — the Pan American San-• ii.ary Organization — was established by the American Republics in 1902. It is now called the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and secre-. tariat, the Pan American Sanitary Bu •eau serves as regional health office of the World Health Organization. Since 1924 its activities have been increasingly devoted to programs of technical assistance, to receiving and disseminating epidemiological information, to financing fellowships in health, and to pro moting cooperation in medical research.

It is today playing a prominent role in the campaign to eradicate malaria from the Western Hemisphere — part of the worldwide campaign supported by the International Cooperation Administration.

U.S. bilateral programs of cooperation in the health field date from 1942 when World War II was already underway.

They have been extended to some 47 countries, first in Latin America ants then in the Near East, Far East, and Africa. They have already shown signifi cant results and have stimulated a world wide drive for better heal* • f,j A tourist stopped at a combination service station and general store in the back country. While his car was being serviced, he noticed an old-timer basking in the afternoon sun and holding a short piece of rope.

The tourist walked over to him and asked "What have you there?"

"This is a weather guage, sonny" he said.

"How can you possibly tell the 'weather with a piece of rope?" the tourist asked.

"It's simple, sonny. When the rope swings back and forth it's windy; when it gets wet; it's raining."

Ted' teprve poznal Jeginskeho.

Mikula:s' mel radost, ale pak se vatne otazal: "Ty's opravdu Turkem?"

"Jsem — neodsuzuj mne, pfiteli, nebylo jine rady ani pomoci. Ach, mam ti oznamiti, ze pfijmete-li viru mohamedanskou, bude vain darovan aivot, a neli "Tedy nas zabijou, neni-li pravad? kni, at' ut to radeji vykonaji; sve viry se nikdy nezfekneme. Vid'te, ho gi?" Vojaci pfisvedeili.

JeSinskY jeke vice se zarmoutil, a darmo domlouval priteli, aby se zachranil a darmo prosili vojaci sveho ryt mistra, aby se na ne neohlitel, 'te mu to milosti radi pfeji. Ale on nepopustil.

"At tiji, psi " zvolal, a tak zachranil Mikulag vgem tivot.

"A co se potom stalo?"

"Odvedli je vgechny do zajeti, as za nejakk eas byli vgichni zajate Turky vymeneni."

A Jeginskk?"
