BENEVOLENCE HUMANITY BROTHERHOOD

STARA HISTORIE, DOSUD PLATNA Temer tricet let je tomu co jsem napsal do Vestniku dopis pied sjezdem, jehot protisk dosud main uschovany.

Chci s tohoto dopisu dnes uvesti nekolik odstavcil a doufam, te uznate, nektere uvedene my glenky se i dnes vYhodne mohou uplatniti. — Napsal jsem "te jest moji snahou dociliti dopisem a navrhem projevenYm napravu tehdy pa nujicich pomert, cot stava, se v zajmu lopg i spokojenosti mezi na gim elenstvem tak, te se zmenou pomerft zabezpeei tax nej gi trvani nagi Jednoty" tak zni dopis a dale uvadi:— "V pkedsjezdovYch schfizich nagich zdrutenYch radii mely by se projednavati namety na opravu stanov aneb navrhy na zrnenu stanov nagi Jednoty aneb scela nova navrhy, ktere by, pakli by vetg ina pritomnYch v tato schUzi odpornaila, byly uverejneni v organu nagem a tak dand priletitost v gem &entail nag i SPJST o nich pied sjezdem uvatovati."

Dale jsem v dopisu uvadel:— "Dejme tomu, te by lhilta byla nejmene 3 mesicii pied sjezdem Jednoty, to poskytla by se ciostateend priletitost katdemu ale nu i delegatu uvatovati o navrzenych zmen a novYch navrhil a 1 jak se k nim zachovati." — Potud' opis nekolika odstavcu z dopisu.

Dnes mame v Jednote vYhodnej gi zarizeni, mame vybor stanovni kteremu dlutno navrhy na zmenu rfiznYch &kin zasilati. Tento vYbor ma se starati o to aby podane navrhy v patriene forme byly predlotene ye Vestniku nagemu elenstvu k•tivateni.

Pri torn meli bychom si uvedomiti, aby nage vlastni aneb radove navrhy se dodaly tomuto vYboru v ureenk eas, nebot' jen tak mono vYboru a nam vgem sloutiti Jednote fispe gne pied nagim valnYm sjezdem. — Jak mame hledet na sjezd.

Nage sjezdy pri velkem poetu delegatfi, jsou dosti nakladne i nebude Skodit, kdyt si neco mad° o nich pohovorime.

My jednou za etyri roky, jak statnY zakon v Texasu potaduje, poradame nag sjezd. Do sjezdu vysllame sve zastupce radove, zvolene ye vYroanich schtlzich.

Dle nageho nazirani jest didelite, aby vyslanci radii OM do sjezda piipravene projeviti piani syYch "radii afgak povi dy s ohiedem na prospech celku, cell& Jednoty.

Ze zastupcd vyslanYch do sjezdu se voli piedseda, rnistopredseda, .tajemniky a jine Uredniky potrebne a pak dle ni sjezdu, piedseda spolu s mistopredsedou ustanovuje rilzne vYbory vet gi aneb mengi dulezitosti. Dnes vtechno jednani

deje se dle obvyklYch pravidel parlamen tarnich a doufame, ze tomu tak i v tom to pkigtim sjezdu nagi Jednoty bude.

KatdY nag bratr aneb sestra vyslana do sjezdu za sviij tad ma pfiletitost se uplatniti, bud' ye vYborech aneb ve spo leenem zasedani a doufame tet, le tento sjezd kizen bude jak sjezd minulY V pravde demokraticky, nestranne a te jak minule, nikomu nebude upirano pre, vo jednaci, i ze vale vet giny rozhodne spravedlive. — Takove vettine je nagi povinnosti se podvoliti a ji respektovati, cot jest zas jen demokraticke a ziska nam flail a veInost po eelem Texasu.

Neda se uptiti, 'te na ge Jednota ba my vgichni jdeme s duchem easu a proto rosteme. Dries jit bychom na ge sjezdy nemohli konat jak pied lety, po soused sku v mengim mesteeku, kde si nes delegaty obyeejne domaci a sousedni eleny "do syYch domovti rozebrali". Tu skrom nost ktera nam drive stadivala to jsme vge nagim pokrokem pkerostli.

Aby sjezd mel nerutenY prfrbeh, potrebujeme nekolik mistnosti, krome vet§i sine nebo salu k zaseclani sjezdu. — Jemistnost potkebujeme pro rozliene sjezdove vYbory a delegate, jinou zas pro sjezdovou kancelar a vYbor pro poveruji-

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK The Cal Global ,L.,)w erEhk I. think we should get in the habit of calling only upon those people who not Lifc, Insurance Con only need the insurance but can afford to buy it, because "I can't afford it" is tinue3 Growth the only real objection to buying life in-

sit

One indication of the economic pragress being made by many of the nations throughout the world is the record increase in life insurance ownership reported by 28 countries of Europe, Asia and the Western Hemisphere. In its annual analysis of world life insurance ownership, the Institute of Life Insurance reports that in the five years 19541959 more than one-third of the countries providing ownership statistics had ° an increase in life insurance in force of 100 per cent or more.

The U. S. total of life insurance in force at the start of last year was 62 per cent greater than it was five years before. Seventeen countries reported greater percentage gains over the same period, with Brazil's 285 per cent, Japan's 240 per cent and Mexico's 178 per cent being the largest gains. Among the European countries, France led with an increase of 172 per cent in life insurance ownership over the five years.

The ratio of insurance in force to national income, a barometer of the financial protection afforded by life insurance, has shown a five year increase in about three-fourths of the reporting countries. In the United States, this ratio was up more than one-third, with the 1959 ratio being 135 per cent, up 35 per sent in five years.

Following the pattern of many years, Canada ranked first with life insurance ownership equal to 15'i per cent of na* tional income; the United States was second; and third was New Zeland.

Indications are that the nations of the world are catching us with, and in a few cases have surpassed, the pre-war ratio of life insurance in force to income.

Five years ago only two countries, Cuba and Belgium, had a higher ratio than in 1939. More than one-third of the countries showed both 1939 and 1959 ratios at a higher lOvel.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge AllegiatAse 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."

Life Insurance Novem ber Policy Benefits Lamer Payments to American families from their life insurance policies totaled $591,500,000 in November, up $54,900,00 or 10 per cent from the corresponding month a year ago, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

For the first eleven months of 1959, life policy benefit payments were $6,717,200,000. This was $231,000,00 more than in the like period of 1958, an increase of 4 per cent.

The November increase was due largely to the rise in death benefits, up 14 per cent from a year ago, while the "living" benefits were only 8 per cent larger.

For the eleven months, the death benefit payments were up 6 per cent, while "living" benefits were up 2 per cent. The "living" benefits paid during the eleven month period, however, accounted for 58 per cent of all benefit payments.

surance if there is a valid need. You can take all of the other objections, mix them up in a hat , pick any one at random, and they all mean simply, "You haven't sold me as yet," and that's all they mean.

If a man has a need and can afford to buy life insurance the fact that he doesn't buy is our fault and not his.

Hence, we should get in the habit of calling on those who can afford to buy our product because these people are buyers. All we have to do is make is comfortable for them to say, "Yes." "Mr. Prospect, suppose your phone rang right now; and when you answered it, the vcice on the other end of the line said, 'This is St. Peter; you have one month to live.' How much of this plan would you buy right now?"

Of course, he'll say, "All I can get."

Then reply: "Mr. Prospect, how can you be sure your phone isn't ringing right now, only you can't hear it?"

Even in the simplest and smallest estate, it can be pointed out that death without a will leaves the family in an insecure state with no directions from the former breadwinner as to how he wanted his belongings divided. It will result in unnecessary probate costs and delays.

Most important, death without a will results in the estate being divided according to the descendent's estate laws of the various states. In many states, this means that there will be a division between the wife and child which may be contrary to the best interests of the family and to the vis':cs of the descendent. It meil-is crl.so i hting guardians for the childrun and continuous court cotrol. In the larger estates, it means the loss of the important marital , , deduction.

Cottonwood Lodge in Mids D. togram Ole Man Winter was blowing a freezing breath of air into West Tuesday, January 19, but that didn't stop Cottonwood carpenters from working so the Editor and wife ran out to the Lodge Hall to , see what progress had been made since the cement foundation had been poured.

We opened the front door of the Hall to find the Hall full of new stacked lumber, old lumber torn from the Hall wall, stacked; saw horses, sawdust, electric saws and what have you strewn about. in the middle of the stage a shiny chrome electric percolator was keeping the coffee warm, while a big fire roared in the stove to ward off the chill. On the table to one side covered with a clean tablecloth the good sisters had left the sugar, cream, cups and a strudel for the brothers.

Nine Cottonwood brothers, all with very red noses, but bundled up to their ears, were making happy music with their hammers, nailing the floor beams of 2x6 in place. They worked like ateam.

One brother carried out the lumber from inside the Hall to another one on the outside who took the beam and placed it in place on the foundation superstrnctore, to the marked out places where the y were to be nailed. Then three teams of two each, nailed each beam in place.

The staccato of their hammers spoke a busy tune and the happy smiles on the cold faces of all nine of the men too told of their happiness of a long time dream, come true.

President Joseph Janecka, had a fire going outside from scraps where numb fingers could be warmed, he kept the teatr•s supplied with nails, dropped hammers, and sym pathy when instead of a nail someone hit his own finger.

Brother Johnny Krizan, Cottonwood's top organizer was in a nail driving team, driving those long nails in as fast as he could swing that hammer. All maintained that the exercise kept them warm.

When they finally took a coffee break with the Editor, they pointed out how the Hall will be when they have finished it, told how the Hall has been levelled np. how the floors will be smoothed and varnished, a new modern, large kitchen, with a dining area of tables and chairs -- you could tell they all took a great pride in this modernization of their beloved Lodge Home which is as old as

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

our SPJST Order is itself, being the sixth Lodge organized in our brotherhood.

A lot of wonderful membership has passed through the doors of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6 in those 62 years, who are no' longer here, but could they but see this energetic group of young membringing the Hall up to date to fall in line with the rest of the Halls in our brotherhood they would all agree that Cottonwood Lodge would not be a forgotten thing of the past but a vital part of today's and ton-orrow's social life in the brotherhood in these parts of the state.

The brotherhood extends its congratulations for taking that first step to enlarge and moderni . ?,e, the Hall, even though it might incur some hard work and debt. it takes co trage to make such a decision and to take that first step, as it is so mach easier to just sit back and let things ride, to blame had attendance and lack of interest in the Lodge work to something else of to someone else..

We hope too, t , at by your example, you will encourage other lod ges who do p ot own their own Lodge Halls and who long for such a hoo,e, to take the first step as you have dine, reminding them, if they work together as you are doing, the cost of the moderni: ttion will be the cost of the actual lumber for you are all doing the work yourselves.

The Vestnik will keep the readers informed from time to time on their progress, and thinks that the year 1960 ‘vill truly be a big one for this Lodge, our beloved Cottonwood.

Good Luck and Good Building ! !

Temple Junior College Accredited by SAC

Hobbies Of Our Readers

A long-time dream has materialized for students of Temple Junior College — the college has been admitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

For Hubert M. Dowson, TJC president, this is truly a dream come true. For the Past six years, Mr. Dowson has been working to better the college so that some day it might become a member of this organization.

"It means, first of all, that this regional accrediation is the highest which a Junior College can receive," Dawson explained.

Included in the SAC are larger universities in the South, such as the University of Texas and universities of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

Dawson pointed out that the accreditation shows that TJC has the very best facilities and staff members and that each has the proper degrees and are teaching in their specified field.

The college faculty is composed of 18 instructors with Dawson as president and Johnny Payne as dean-registrar.

The laboratory facilities at the college are highly acceptable and above average the president states.

The school offers science laboratory courses in biology, chemistry and physics. Miss Velma Wilson is the chemistry instructor and Mr. Calvin C. Chervenka is the physics instructor.

"The accreditation means that we not only have a large number of volumes in our library but also that we have the right selection of books for the courses offered in our college," explained Mr. Dowson.

Not long ago we brought before our readers an article about our Brother Roman Parma, whose hobby was recreating priceless furnitures.

Today we bring before our readers another hobbyist: Brother Anton Bra y -encofTmple,whos byicoleting unique clocks.

In his cafe in Temple, Brother Bravenec has 13 clocks on the wall in one spot and a number of other kinds on a shelf. In his home he has the rest of his collection.

"At night," said Brother Brovanec, "the whole house is filled with the music of chiming and striking clocks." He 'Oyes it.

Brother Bravenec began collecting clocks several years after he came to America from Czechoslovakia, where he was born.

The hobby came out of a present someone make to him of an old clock, all made of wood; in disrepair. He became interested and put it together again.

"Clocks are a wonderful piece of craftmanship, requiring extreme skill. While some of my clocks may not be of mach monetary value, they are a masterpiece of wormanship."

Editor's Note: The Vestnik is justly proud of the fact that our brother Calvin Chervenka, as instructor, had a role in this accreditation and wishes to point out that Brother Calvin has a brother who also teaches in the Rogers High School. In fact he is its principal and this is the only school in Texas, where Czech is being taught in a primary school.

He continues to keep his eye out for unusual clocks. "Years ago, I saw a clock that played music on the half hour and on the hour. That's what I'm looking for."

Brother Bravenec looks forward to his retirement from his Cafe business of 35 years, when he can devote much more time to his beloved hobby. Some of the best watches and jewelry comes from Czechoslovakia, his native country, and he doesn't know why clocks became a hobby with him for none of his ancestors were clock or watchmakers.

"I like them because they are pretty and useful. Besides," he said, "they make something nice to talk about, and I love to talk." ) • • •

I am sorry for the delay in making tbis report but I have been out of the office all last week on account of flu.

You will note that Districts No. 1, 3, 5, and 7 reached and well exceeded their quotas for 1959. District No. 2 and 6 show a nice increase over 1952.

Congratulations to District No. 3 for being in first place for two consecutive years in • writing, both members and life insurance, and therby earning the hon or . of keeping the two nice trophies in their District, quite an achievement, sisters and brothers Congratulations and high honors also to Brother J. M. Skrabanek, who alone wrote over a quarter million of life insurance. Very good, Brother Skrabanek, we appreciate this very much.

Sister Anna Milan is in number one place for the local lodge organizers, with $143,500 of life insurance followed by Sister Frances Olexa with. $101,000.

Thanks to both of you sisters, you gave the brother organizers a good run this year, we are proud of you.

All in all, we had a very, productive year in 1959. We made history in writing life insurance as well as promoting interest in Youth activities and social functions and •meetings in our lodges and districts.

Please remember to elect your candidate to represent your Lodge in the "Miss SPJST" contest, if you haven't already done so. The contest started January 15 and will end March 15 and we certainly would appreciate your cooperation and good will to make this the biggest contest yet.

From The Attorney General Of Texas

Youth Director Of Lodge 161

Reports From Local Lodges

Editor, Vestnik Dear Mr. Hosek: As you know, Mr. J. R. Owen, County Attorney for Williamson County, asked, for an opinion some months ago in regard to whether the SPJST Rest Horne i n Taylor, was a tax exempt institution. From the facts originally given, this office was required to rule that it was not tax exempt.

A reconsideration of that opinion was requested because the facts as originally given were not correct. Based upon these new facts, I am- happy to say that we were able to hold that the Home is a tax exempt institution.

Judge Wilson was most anxious to see that a thorough investigation be made into this matter and asked Mr. Price and me to write the opinion. He is certainly a friend of our people and is very interested' in the tremendous good that the Home is doing.

I am happy to enclose a copy of our opinion for your files.

With kindest personal regards and all good wishes, I remain Yours very truly, Leon F. Pesek Asst. Attorney General • Honorable J. R. Owen County Attorney Williamson County Georgetown, Texas Dear Mr. Owen: Your letter of November 27, 1959 states: The SPJST Rest Home is prepared to render service to charity cases on a strictly gratuitous basis, and that it is actually rendering partially charitable services in that it receives payment only in accordance with the patients's ability to pay. Consequently, it is the opinion of this office that the SPJST Rest Home qualifies as an institution of purely public charity, and that its real property is exempt from taxation. This opinion supersedes Attorney General's Opinion WW-453 (1953).

Summary The real property owned by the SPJST Rest Home is entitled to tax exemption since the Rest Home qualifies and is functioning as a "purely public charity."

Yours very truly, Will Wilson Attorney General of Texas.

Assistant

An Appeal Addressed To The District Secretaries Kindly put the fJ1lowing in the Vestnik. I think that every considerate and right-thinking member should get behind our By-Law Committee. Pardon me for taking some of your time. — Thank you.

LODGE HAVLICEK NO. 4 This is an appeal to the Secretaries of Districts that will have their meetings before our Committee on By-Laws will meet in Temple.

Please consider those suggestions given by Brother Frank B. Steiner in Vestnik No. 2 and No. 3 in the English Section, and also the suggestions offered by Havlicek Lodge No. 4, at Hallettsville, and by others.

The members on the By-Laws Committee are human beings, the same as the rest of us. They want to hear from you. And if they hear from a group of members, assembled in a district meeting, that signifies little more than if an individual would offer a suggestion. Let the committee hear from every district.

Then, also, I may be getting old, but I am still for successful conventions in June which would not be dragged out the entire week but one that should accomplish a great deal of planning for future in in a fruitful three-day session.

Boys, let us be prepared and let us cut our expenses. We can do it if we make up our minds to do so.

This will apply only to delegates and alternate delegates to the convention. Your officers will remain as elected in December. To those of you who attended & meetings last year, have your dues paid up and you have been a member for 1 year are eligible to serve as a delegate.

If you wish to extend the double indemnity protection to the age of 60 contact our Bookkeeper. If you are unable to attend to this matter it) our meetings and it is to your convenience to contact me I will be more than glad to fill out your application.

And now to those members, the parents of our little .sisters and brothers. when you take out protection on your children that were ender the age of 10 years the Double Indemnity feature was rot available for them. If after your children reach the age of 10 years and you want the Double Indemnity protection you may apply for it and if accepted will be added to your policy. To apply for this protection contact one of our organizers.

Will be looking forward to a large attendance at our Feb. meeting.

Please come again!

In our last meeting we had the Installation of newly elected Officers for the coming year. Brother Frank Harms Performed the rites. Some of our older members writing in the Czech section of our Vestnik say it was very nice.

The first part of this New Year, we had two dances in our Hall. They turned out fine!

All of our members are very proud of our new Lodge Hall and we all hope that we shall pay off the debt on it real soon. Please, sisters and brothers, let's keep working together as we have been and we are certain to have success.

Our next meeting will be held next month in February, the second Sunday, afternoon. Before I close these few lines I would like to say thanks to our dear sisters and brothers, to all of the brothers at the Supreme Lodge and to our brother Editor, to all friends for helping us in any way in our hard work to build this Lodge Hall. It was my great pleasure to work with all of you and if I made any mistakes, please forgive me for them. I am only human like any other person and I can assure everyone of of you that I am working and trying my best for our Lodge and our SPJST Order.

LODGE 24 CYCLONE, TEXAS Dear Sisters and Brothers: Right quickly I must write a few lines about our next regular meeting which is the first Sunday in February the 7th. Seems like 1960 is going right along and not wasting time for I almost didn't write about our coming meeting, so I hope this letter still can get printed.

My we had a big siege of bad weather here, hope that all the rain is over for a while, of course we can bare the cold all right if it's not too wet. Here's hoping that the flu bug hasn't bit my readers too hard for he sure is around.

We both had bad colds, but not the flu so far. Those of you who do have the flu take care and hope that you will soon be over it.

Would like to mention again about the Miss SPJST contest, sure would like for some of our young girls from 16 to 20 years old from lodge 24 to think about it and come forward for we do want our lodge to be represented. The contest rules are in the Vestnik page 15, read them over girls, please.

Brother Franklin Martinec and Bro. B. J Marek were asked to audit the lodge books. These two faithful brothers never turn us down and we are thankful for that, for we all know that it is a big job to go over those big books.

Well I better stop for now. Don't forget the meeting Feb. 7.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Jerry Zavodny ) •4 COTTONWOOD LODGE NO. 6 West, Texas Dear Readers: I'm back with some reports on the progress of our building program in our Lodge. There were several brothers out this p ast week, which made the work

progress nicely. So far, they tore up the old rest rooms, straightened out the Hall poured the foundation under it and now they are ready to go on up with the rest of the plan, whenever the weather permits.

So, all you brothers, who can possibly come out and help with this work, please do so as the lodge carpenters will need lots of help out there to keep the work going forward.

A sincere thanks to Brother Johnnie Beseda and Mr. Bruce for the use of the truck and to Brother Beseda for bringing in the lumber. Thanks also to Bro. Joseph Janecka for going with Beo. Beseda so early in the morning to bring it in.

So remember, Brothers and Sisters, the Building Committee will be expecting and will be depending upon your help. The building is in full swing now it's our Hall, Your Hall, so please help!

Our good sisters are invited to come out too, to give moral encouragement to our lodge carpenters and are requested to bring out a covered dish of any choice, especially when someone of her family is working at the Lodge Hall. It will be greatly appreciated by the Kitchen Committee who serve these hungry nail drivers in this weather , Thank you!

We hope to see lots of you come out!

But I love to travel in the winter. I have just returned from visiting relatives )n Arizona only to be informed that the dramatic club is occupied in the process of rehearsing a play which is set foe the afternoon of February 14th.

Just a word about the trip and then I shall proceed to the business at hand.

Our purpose in visiting the fascinating town of Bisbee is to see relatives, however, this time this trip, to our purest delight, was rewarding in more ways than one.

We had hardly settled in this copper mining town before we were greeted by a quite heavy snowfall. Up to the time we arriced, this mountainous area had averaged a snowstorm about every other day. We were especially delighted over the scenic beauty high up in the mountains on our return trip to Houston.

Traveling without chains on the wheels of the car, I was forced to take it slowly in spots, however, the beauty enroute was so breathtaking we hardly realized

Wednesday, January 27, 1960 how long it took to cross the pass, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Once or twice my car zig-zagged for having had to leave my ruts for others to pass by, but I soon learned that I had to drive in loW gear where the roads had not yet been cleared.

Let's get back to business. I see from all the preparations made by Brother Rady Sefeik, our new director, that a three act comedy entitled "Device Ze Vsi," will be presented at Studewood, Pokrok Houston 88, on February 14, at 3:30 p.m. I have been invited to attend the next rehearsal, but until then I am not prepared to give you much details.

But remember that the kitchen will operate as usual serving goulash, pastries, coffee and sundries.

I shall be looking for you on St. Valentine's Day and I hope you will find the play enjoyable and entertaining.

YOUTH CLUB TEEN CLUB OF LODGE 84, DALLAS Dear Readers and Friends, On Friday, January 8th, our teen-age club held its first event of the year.

Music was provided by the ever-popular "Mario Daboub and the. Nightcapps."

All who were present enjoyed themselves very much and the music was terific!

Although this dance wasn't as successful as some of our toast dances, we-aren't going to let it get us down. I believe our main failure was the lack of adyertiseaaant. Here is another of the many examples to prove that success can not be achieved in a youth club, teenage club, or lodge without the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire membership. With school beginning after a gloriouse two-week vacation, I feel that we just weren't doing our best but we will fly through with flying colors at our next dance! Just wait and see! ! !

Lake Waxahachie, a new addition to Texas' chain of manmade lakes, already is producing 3 to 5-pound blacks, 1 to 2 1/2 pound crappies, and 1 to 3 pound channel cats, according to John I Garganess, game warden at Grand Prairie.

The new 640 acre lake was completed and filled in 1957, and is located on South Prong Creek in Ellis County south of Waxahachie. It is controlled by that city.

Shortly after the lake's completion, the Game and Fish Commission stocked it with 60,000 black bass. Sometime later an additional 50,000 blacks were released.

Because of the protection provided by the people of Ellis County and Waxahachie, the fish had a chance to grow armolested. On April 1, 1958, the lake was opened to fishing and immediately produced some nice strings of bass.

A lake officer and patrol boat help to promote and enforce the water safety laws on the lake.

Wednesday, January 27, 1960 Experiments by biologists of the Game and Fish Commission have established that the Mexican banded tetras is a top fishing minnow, in areas where the water temperature does not drop below 55 degrees F. Tests were made in a number of small lakes and ponds in south Texas, which indicate that the tetras will reproduce in those areas. However, it also was deteradned that the tetras is susceptible to cold water.

According to a report made by Alvin Flury, project leader, the increase in white and black bass population in Faison Lake near Zapate has brought about an apparent scarcity of the tetras in that lake. In 1956, the prevailing price on_tetras in Zapata went from $2 to $4 gallon. By 1959 the price had climbed from $10 to $12 per gallon. Because of the high predation on the part of both black bass and white bass, the supply of the minow became so low that a number of , the minow fishermen were compelled to stop operation.

Experimental stocking of this minnow was attempted on 16 farm ponds in South Texas area. These experiments included lakes that had contained black bass and other types of fish. It was shown in some of these experiments that the tetras can spawn and raise young in small pounds in the presence of young bass and even smaller numbers of adult bass. On one pond that had been stocked with 400 tetras from Faison Reservoir in February,. 195, the owner trapped 32 gallans of the minno by May of 1959.

"It is obvious from this pond that the tetras are able to live an reproduce successfully in ponds in this region, if they are not subject to predation by large fish," Flury said. ) • 4. • ( West of the Pecos River roam Texas' largest herds of pronghorned antelope.

In November, hundreds of trophy-seeking hunters advanced on them and harvested large numbers, but not enough to dip into the needed brood stock.

Forty years ago, antelope herds were relics of the past. Only a few hardy prongies. managed to survive years of uncontrolled depletion, Then, just be fore they stepped into the "Hall of Extinction," man came to the rescue with laws to protect and preserve the few remaining herds. More antelope were trapped elsewhere and transplanted in the area. Gradually, the pronghorn came back. When the herds had grown large enough to farrant a. hunt, the Commission opened a season, and the faststepping pronghorn again became a highly prized Texas game animal..

VESTN/ IC WEST, TEXAs

On the first day, the animals were not too easily spooked. In fact, hunters could almost bag them by stopping on some well-traveled road. Most of the kills were made during the first few days of the hunt. As it progressed, the anirr als grew more and more disturbed, until near the end of the season, a hunter was quite lucky if he could get a clean 200-yard shot.

Though seemingly calm and peaceful at a distance, the proghorn's unique characteristics make him one of the toughest animals to stalk. He has been gifted with binoculars for eyes and nimble, slender legs capable of carrying him over the rockiest of plains at speeds near 50 miles per hour. No other North American animal can match their speed and endurance, and very few have keener eyesight.

Persons who have hunted the antelope before know that the swift animals can not be crowded or rushed. To maneuver them into a position for a killing shot the hunter must give the animals plenty Of time to make up their minds.

The patient hunter may be able to steer the herd near a fence or other obstruction; antelope can leap, but they will not unless extremely frightened or temuorarily insane. They may crawl under or through a fence.

When pushed too hard. the pronghorn has a tendency to push back. For instance, if crowded by a vehicle, the pronghorn will set a collision course, and he won't change it. Usually in a race between a heard of prongies and a vehicle, the latter will lose, either because the terrain is too rough for speed, or because the antelope will cut across the road in front and dash off down the foothills and across the open prairie like the wind itself.

The hunter must aim well, ahead of the speeding bucks. A scope is almost a must. It should be a 4x or even 6x.

Commission biologists are still collecting data on the hunt to learn exactly how many proghorns were bagged, the sex ratio of those killed, the hunt success, and any other information that may be useful in determining next year's hunt.

Based on the data collected so far, it is estimated that of hunters present, 94.5 per cent killed out. Approximately 1,300 antelope were harvested during the 10-day hunt. Last year 857 hunters bagged 795 antelope for a 92.7 per cent hunt success. The number of hunters participating this year topped that of any previous year, setting a new record.

In 1944 only 328 hunters reported for the hunt. Of these 279 killed out for a 90.5 per cent success. Even with the

f3trana

ever increasing number of antelope taken on the ranches, and in spite of the fact that does as well as bucks were taken this year, no harm was done to the antelope populations. According to observations by both game wardens and ranchers, more animals should be available for next year's hunt than for any hunt in the past. ) • •T• • (

Antibiotic. May Cause Secondary Infection

Wednesday, January 27, 1960 for a known infection shows a sudden drop in his blood pressure and a rapid, irregular pulse, septic shock should be suspected.

Two antibiotics, ironically erythromyclan and chloromyeetin, are the best for treatment here, said Dr. Actemeier.

The secondary infection — more often than not is more serious than the first infection for which the antibiotic was being given — occurs, Dr. Actemeir explained, because many germs have developed resistance to the antibiotics.

Germs live in the human body, he added, in sort of a natural balance.

Germ A keeps Germ B from multiplying too fast. Then, when the antibiotic is given to knock out Germ A, Germ B multiplies rapidly and sets up the secondary infectiOn which can kill a patient in a matter of hours.

Medical men have known about this situation for 12 years. It has not become a real problem, however, until lately.

At the University of Cincinnati, much medical research into the problem is being done. Dr. Actemier said the first finding is that doctors need to be careful when they prescribe an antibiotic, must be sure it is really needed.

Dr. Actemeir said patients should help themselves by taking antibiotics only when their doctor says so. "Don't take what was left in the bottle that the doctor gave you six months ago," he said.

There are still many infections in which it is necessary to use an antibiotic to save the patient in the first place.

"Fortunately, penici l in is one antibiotic which the bacteria don't grow so resistant to," said the doctor. The antibiotics which kill the most different types of germs seem to be the ones which make some germs so resistant, he added.

A better treatment for septic shock has been worked out. In the usual shock cases the first treatment is to give the patient whole blood, plasma or other fluids.

Septic shock cases need only a limited amount of fluids. The patient gets drugs to boost the blood pressure and to slow and steady the heart, and the antibiotic to which the infection germs have not become resistant. ) • 14 • A foreigner was quite proud of the fact that he had learned the English language.

Patients being treated for minor infections, even a . cold, with antibiotics like penicillin may be indanger of secondary infections so dangerous they can kill them in 24 to 48 hours a surgical professor states.

Dr. William A. Actemeier of the University of Cincinnati in Ohio said the deadly infection may be directly caused by use of the antibiotics.

At other times the antibiotic may be an indirect cause.

In either case, most patients may be cured if the doctor recognizes the symptoms of the secondary infection in time and gives the right treatment.

Usually the antibiotic masks the signs of secondary infection — fever, swelling pain. And the first symptom comes when the patient goes into "septic shock" with out apparent cause. Shock generally We must remember that the United follows a severe injury or sudden loss States reached its present strength and freedom, through strength and vigor, of blood.

Governor Proclaims Soil Fertility Week 31 Texas College Station — "The fertility of our Texas soils is all-important to the success and prosperity of the agricultural industry and the welfare of all citizens," said Governor Price Daniel in his opening statement proclamining January 2530 as Soil Fertility Week in Texas.

Continuing he said, "Adequate 'soil fertility levels not only provide more profitable crops, but aid in conserving and building good soils for future generations. The heritage of our soils is of vital concern to all, on the farm and in the city.

"To encourage farmers to adopt the best-known soil management practices that will increase the productivity of their soils, the Texas Agricultural Extension Service of the Texas A. and M. College System sponsors Soil Fertility Week.

"I, as Governor of Texas, do hereby designate the week of January 25-30, 1900 as •Soil Fertility Week in Texas, and urge all citizens to recognize and encourage efforts in this regard." Governor Daniel signed the proclamation on January 12 in Austin.

Director John E. Hutchison of the sponsoring organization for Soil Fertility Week in Texas visited Governor Daniel in connection with the proclamation signing and pointed out the importance of soil fertility to the continued prosperity of the state's great agricultural industry. He called special attention to the new intensive soil fertility program now underway on a pilot basis in 12 Texas counties.

These counties represent the Gulf Coast Prairie, Northeast Texas and the South Plains. The program in the 12 counties is now underway and the Director said interest was exceptionally good.

Soil tests are receiving major attention at this time but other phases of the program will be introduced as the year advances. ) •4•( Rather Low The two friends had imbibed too freely and found themselves staggering down the railroad tracks.

Your Health In The '60'c A brand new decade makes its debut Jan. 1. If you're short of resolutions, here is a list designed especially to keep you around to see the 60's end.

Promise yourself you'll give your body at least as good care as you give your car. Let your family physician look you over thoroughly once a year whether you feel bad or not. Make it twice yearly if you're middle-aged. Periodic checkups are the best way yet devised to detect bodily disorders while they can still be treated successfully.

Check in with your dentist once yearly, too. Dental trouble won't kill you but sometimes it can make you wish you were dead. And the dentist can help push back the time when you'll need dentures, which is a major accomplishment in itself.

If you're 40 and fat, resolve to start passing up the candied yams, boiled potatoes and cream-filled toothsome tidbits which spell extra weight and an Early grave.

Too much weight contributes to high blood pressure, and maybe associated with hardening of the arteries and various forms of heart disease. It means impaired vigor, greater surgical risk, greater danger from otherwise minor illnesses.

Teenagers should be especially aware of the statistics linking smoking to cancer and heart disease which is pilling up so fast it is getting tougher and tougher to rationalize the habbit.

Resolve to drive as though every other car on the road is being manned by a maniac. And when you're afoot trust motorists only as far as you can see them,Motor vehicle deaths stand far above accidental deaths of all other types.

Make it a point to take full advantage of every advancement in medical science aimed at benefitting your family, but always on competent medical advice.

Start by having the youngsters immunized against polio.

Promise to adhere to local and state laws pertaining to health protection.

Example: if your town has a dog leash law, obey it. It's a public protective device, and you are the public.

Last and most important, give an occasional thought to such awesome problems as juvenile delinquency, water conservation, and the g rowing number of oldsters. Lend your support as a responsible citizen to community efforts to solve them.

Electricity as a source of power is, in some ways less hazardous than any other power source, but failure to take the proper precautions in its use creates conditions which are certain to result in bodily harm or damage to property or both.

Overloading an electrical circuit is an example of improper use. Not only is there a drop in efficiency as a result of an overloaded circuit, but it is unsafe; warns the Texas Farm and. Ranch Safety Council. Overloading causes overheating of wires which, in turn, cause, the wiring insulation to dry out, get brittle, and result in a possible fire hazard.

If the correct size fuse for the circuit is used it cannot be overloaded, because it will blow before the wiring can get too hot. The fuse is the 'safety valve' of the electrical circuit, the Council explains.

In order to determine the correct size fuse, a simple guide to follow is: No. 14 wire, which is about the size of a 3penny nail, requires a 15 amp. fuse; No. 12 wire, about the size of a 3 7-penny common nail, requires a 20 amp fuse. In other words, the wire size determines the correct fuse size, Observe the three C's — Caution, Care, and Common Sense — to prevent overloaded electrical circuits, the Council adds. ) • 4„,4 ( 0, MOTHER
