LVAZUJTE!!!

Casto se nam sestry a bratri zda, 2e dosti znaene te2kosti se nam do cesty stavi, kdy2 hleclarne zpilsob, jak bychom k uspokojeni dvouch rozdilnYch stran vyhovujici stredni cestu, ktera by nas vgechny, stare i mladgi elenstvo v souladu a pinem porozumeni dale k cily vedla.

Rad bych aby mi bylo porozumeno. — Je svrchovanY gas, abychom vypustili z mysli, ze dokud budeme udr2ovati nase rady Ceske, ze se to udr21 v ge Ceske. eim vice 'name prilaitost cestovati do naSich krajanskYch osad a l'adt, tim jisteje a vice nas pomery nuti k poznani, 2e se musime, nekdy treba i s te2kY-m srdcem, prizprisobiti pomernm ktere pfevladaji. — Pie nam dobr3i otec velke a vaIene rodiny, "s detma se mohu dorozumeti v na gi matefgtine ale vnuktm mu sim psati v anglieine a co2 pi ge, "jak bude dal?" "Neni pomoci ze 2adne strany, neni porozumeni, neni k tomu potfebnYch gkol."

K tomu si dovolujeme pkipojiti, 2e mnozi s tech star gich kterl pkijeli sem z raznYeh semi, se zde naucili Cesky Gist s tech nagich eeskSrch novin, kde2to dnes, — nage noviny denne ztraci odberatele a nahrady neni nikdy. 6asy se pozmenily.

My stargi, kteti jsme byli vychovami

pro eeskou vec, budeme pokud sily staei se k ni hlasit a pro ni pracovat. Jinak ani jednat neumime, ale — — ano, ano, ted' jsme pfatele u toho ALE, musime cite nechte o to muva2ovat, 2e mnoho a mnoho a dobrYch nagich elenti jest ji2 z jineho gkoleni, z jineho pramene a prave proto, chceme-li se skuteene chovati jako bratii, musime vyhoveti Vgem.

Tu opakuji, ze musime s ohledem na dobrou shodu s ohledem na na ge demokraticke zrizeni uznat, 2e co eleni na geho bratrstva mame stejna prava a tedy se prizpilsobiti, dokud jest k tomu jegte eas.

Jak nejlepe, myslim co nejmiii bolestrie pro nas star gi, by se dala takova premena provost?

Dle meho nahledu, (ale prosim, nemam na rozum patent) pkemena znamend, abychom vgude pomohli organisovati Krou2ky mlade2e (Youth Clubs) jak bylo ji2 fispegne provedeno u nekolik nagich eilYch karchl a odporueeno naSi Hlavni iikadovnou. — Nechme je vesti sve krou2 ky samostatne a porad'me jim v zadatcich slugnSim, laskavY'm zptisobem.

V takovem krou2ku vedenSrm v anglietine, nage mlacle2 bude vychovavand v praci pro nagi Jednotu a ye vgem tom, co my jsme kdys v lasee budovali a na e"ein zavisi budoucnost na geho Bratrstva.

Oni to pak po nas prevention.

Je jegte mnoho na gich elend, jejlcht ditky a vnuci do na g ich kad nepatii. — Mnoho by se jich ph trochu dobre s vlidnSrm slovem dalo ziskati. — Uznejte vg ak, ze east° dlu2no s nimi promluviti osobou ptimekeneho stall — Vim, 2e nekterY ten vnuk neposlechne v torn co mu dedeeek aneb babieka radi a pkiznate mi, ze nektere ditky dastokrate ani rady sy Steh rodieft neposlechnou, ciziho v§ak ano.

Nuz tedy, skusme to -dude u nagich dn. NavAtivte pfilaitostne rady kde se odbory mladde osveddili. Vim, ze s radosti Vain poradi, jen prosim tuto vec Svolejte Va'ae ji2 dole neodkladejte.

Lincolnova tee v Gettysburgu Pied sedmadevadesati lety, 19. listopadti 1863, byla pronesena tee, jeja ozvena pronikla do v gech koutti sveta. V tu dobu nemohla jegte bYti rozhla govana radiem, ani zaznamenana na gramotonove plotny; jeji opisy nebyly ani rozdany ptitomnYm novindiskYm zpravodajtun pies to vgak uslygel jeji slova eel* svet, city v ni vyjadiene na gly odezv,u v srdcich y Secli lidi.

Ace', nazvana, pozdeji "Gettysburg Adress", pronesl tehdej gi president Abraham Lincoln v Gettysburgu, v Pennsylva nil, na miste, kde se je gte kratce pied tim bojovalo.

Bylo to y kriticke dobe, kdy se rozhodo yalo o budoucnosti Unie. Stay byly rozAtepeny na dva odporujici si ideologic ke tabory. 02ehavou otazkou nebylo toliko otroctvi, ale i dark existence SpjenYch statu.

Lincolnovo Emacipaeni prohla geni., udinene nekolik mesicit pied tim, udelovalo svobodu vem otroktim na tizemi, spadajicim pod ji ganskou pravomoc. Lincoln vyjadioval jim sve piesvedeeni, ze "nikdo neni tak dobrY, aby smel opanovavati druheho bez jeho svoleni."

V eervenci 1863 postcupila jilanska konfederaeni armada severne od Washingtonu asi sto mil. V mime zylnene kra jine jiZne od Gettysburgu stfetla se s hlavnim vojem armady uniove. retsina dejepiscil spattuje v rozpoutav gi se tam bitve rozhodujici obrat obeanske valky.

Konfederaeni armada, utrpev gi ohromne ztraty, byla nucena ustoupiti do Virginie a mnoho pad13'rch — jilanti a sevefaml naglo posledni odpoeinek v Gettysburgu.

Uniova vlada prohlasila kratce nato gettysburgske pohiebi gte za, Narodni htbi toy, k jehoz zasveceni ptikl tam 19. listopadu president Lincoln. Jeden z iieastnika popsal presidenta jako Cloveka, "ptevy gujiciho vSechny okolni lidi o nekolik palca — jeSte vyzablej'Siho a ustaranejSiho nezli obyeejne".

NahliZeje do poznamek, ktere si zbe g ye vlaku, ptivakejicim ho do-ne aertl

Ve sti'edu, dne 10. anora 1960 Gettysburgu 2 Washingtonu, zaeal Lincoln temito slovy: "Pied osmdesati sedmi lety dali nagi otcove vzniknouti na tete, pevnine noveinu narodu, poeatemu ye svobode a za svecenemu tvrzeni, ze v gichni lide jsou stvoteni nayzajem si rovni —" Dnes nesmrtelnYch sto dvaasedmdesat syYch slov zakoneil temito: "Je spige na nas, abychom se zasvetili Ohronmemu akolu, lelicimu pted nand — abychom od techto slavnYch mrtyyth ptevzali ye zvetSene mite oddanost k to spravedlive veci, ktere oni venovali pinou miru oddanosti — abychom se zde pevne rozhodli, ze tito mrtvi nezernieli nadarmo — Ze tento narod doeka se pod ochranou boZi noveho zrozeni svobody — a Ze vlada lidu, lidem, pro lid, nezanikne na tomto svete."

Nikdo nezatleskal. Mnozi ani teCi nebot' jeji slova unikla ye vetru a byla ru gena neklidne piestupujicim da vem. Vagina naslouchajicich nevedela, ze skoneil, a eekala na, pokraeovani. — Lincoln usedl; citil, Ze jeho slova nezapfisobila. Teprve kdy nasledujiciho dne se objevila v tisku, aby se pak v nem objevovala znovu a znovu, uvedomili si Amerieane jejich skuteenk dosah.

Lincolnav GettysburskY proslov, pteloge rik do tficiti jazyka, zabloudil do VSech konein sveta a vkide zanechal hlubokk dojem. Zasada "vlady lidu, lidern, pro lid" utrpela behem generaci a zmenou politickYch filosofii mnoho ajmu, pies to Vtak zfistaVaji Lincolnova slova majakem osvay vgude tam, kde se jimi narody, idi, kde v ne yeti.

Navrhy na opravu stanov Navrh na oprava stanov 28-b a 68-e.

Sestry a bratti:— Jarni schtze tech sedmi okrskil naSi Jednoty jsou taktka "prede dvetmi" a k sjezd na gi SPJST., jest take ptede dvetmi, tyto jarni schilze maji svuj dillektS7 yYznam, hlavne v ohledu na elanky 28 a 68-e.

Ten dneSni Olanek 68-e si zaslatai ptesnejSi pozornosti, protok ureuje nominace okrskovYch za,stupcii; teditele a jeho nahradnika a elena do vYboru na opravu stanov a jeho nahradnika. Tento elanek zni: "Ve sjezdovem roce jsou nominovani nasledujici okrskovi zastupci: teditel, nahradni teditel, elen stanovniho vYboru a jeho nahradnik. Deegati mohou vSak podati dalSi nominace a predlaiti je sjezdu ku schvaleni . ."

Tedy, zde se miuvi jen o nominacich.

A elanek 28-b ureuje: "'atednici Hlavni fitadovny jsou voleni sjezdem. Reditele a nahradni reditele jsou nominovani okrsky a voleni sjezdem. ."

Ale, ani 28-b ani 68-e neureuji ptesne jak a kdo voli, nejen reditele a jeho nahradnika, ale take elena vYboru na opravu stanov a jeho nahradnika. Ten

Ve stredu, dne 10. unora 1960 elanek 68-e pravi, 2e okrsky jen nominuji a k tomu jeSte, aby to bylo vice zamotane, dovoluje dark nominace reditele a do vYboru na opravu stanov a jejich nahradniky a ptedlotiti je sjezdu ku schvaleni — ale to neni ureeni jak se o nich hlasuje. Ma, o nich hlasovati celY sjezd? A kdo pfedloti sjezdu `ku schvaleni" ty nominace udelane v okrskove sehnzi? — ci ty ziistanou nepov§imnute?

Ve stanovech z Houstonskeho sjezdu bylo ptijato opatteni ye elanku 30 ie reditele jsou voleni jednotlivYmi okrsky ye sjezdu, a jelikoZ" ten celY elanek 30 vekl v platnost ihned, kdy2 nadeSel eas voleni teditelit, predseda sjezdu bratr George Kacit paddal bratra Marka aby ureil kde se jednotlive okrsky maji shromaIditi; bratr George Kacit pak urea, kdo takove schnzi ma predsedati — bud' ptedseda okrsku, kdyby ye sjezdu nebyl tak jeho narnestek a i kdyby ten ye sjezdu nebyl, tedy teditel okrsku. A zvoleni okrskoveho reditele, jeho nahradnika, elena kter3-7 j edna za eelY okrsek na vYborn na opravu stanov a jeho nahradnika bylo uskuteeneno bez dalSich prtitahti. Aby se ptedalo voleni zastupcii okrsku celYm sjezdem, navrhuji aby elanek 68-e znel nasledovne: "Po zvoleni ntednikti Hlavni iftadovny, delegati kahleho okrsku v oddelene schtizi kakleho okrsku, zvoli okrskoveho reditele a elena do vSrboru na opravu stanov a jeho nahradnika; kaklY tad vrhne hiasy dle elanku 12 teehto stanov.

"Ku provedeni takove volby predseda sjezdu ustanovi jednoho delegata z ka g -delokrsuzaped toh krsveho shromaideni, urai misto, kde se delegati kaaleho okrsku sejdou a prohlasi prozatimni ptesta yku v jednani sjezdu.

"Ptedseda okrskoveho shromaIdeni zahaji schtzi a Ma, o nominace jak jsou ureeny v prynirn odsta,vci tohoto Clanku 68-e a urei tti delegaty ku sebrani hlasovacich listkil a spocitani hlasti; pr yjmenovanST jedna, jako pfedseda.

"Po spoeitani blast tento ptedseda oznami vSrsledek hlasovani pred'sedovi sjezdu, kterST prohlasi jrnena zvolenSrch ku schvaleni sjezdem.

"Volebni listky kakleho okrsku jsou pak vlo2eny do °balky a zalepeny. Nenili po'Zadovano ptepoeitani hlasii, tato obalka jest odevzdana tajemniku sjezdu k odstraneni." Vchazi v platnost ihned.

Bude-li tento elanek ptijat jak jest zde ptedln2en, bude treba menSich zmen ye elancich 28 a 30. Ve elanku 30 jen zmena vynachanim sloe "a nahradnim

Ve sttedu, dne 10. fmora 1960 teditelem" ye clVou mistech a ye elanku 28 v odstavci "b" take vynechati slova — a nahradni teditele". Zde jest milj navrh na elanek 28-b: "1.Ttednici Hlavni fdadovny jsou voleni sjezdern. keditele jsou voleni die elanku 68-e techto stanov". A to jest v ge co potfebujeme ye elanku 28-b; ostatek toho odstavce "b" a cely odstavec "c" se midu smele vynechati a pokraeovati tento elanek s odstavcem "d".

Nebude zajiste na gkodu upozorniti na neshodu ve elancich 29 a 114 — co jeden zapovida ten druhY dovoluje. Zde jest o Gem se jedna. Ten elanek 29 z east zni: "Utednikem Hlavni fdadovny mute se stati pouze takovY Glen Jednoty, kterY nema svilj elenskY certifikat pfedeasne promenenY ye yYplatnY (paid -up). . . ."

Naproti tomu elanek 114 ureuje: "Spoleeenskym Menem mute se stati osoba tadove poplatky platici, jejd zdravotni stay neb stab. nedovoluje miti pojigteni, nebo kterY 'Men mel certifikat na pra videlnou pojistku a vyzvednul si "paidup" certifikat a pieje si bYti spoleeenskYm elenem; a ten kterY ma jiz doplacenY doeasnY certifikat jako lOti letou, 15tiletou, 20tiletou, atd. SpoleeenskY elan v techto dvou posledne jinenovanYch dach mfde bYti zvolen delegatem, Otednikem fadu neb i fitednikem Hlavni frtadovny. Jak videti, tento dne gni elanek 114 pottebuje hodne .ostrY nfd na oklesteni.

Dear Members: As you know, this is our Convention year. We had an article about the decision that had been made in our last Vestnik, that there should be an enlarged Convention Issue of the Vestnik printed to be out the week before June 12_13.

Each one of our members as indicated in the, next paragraph, has an op1,(a-,truity to write a letter to this issue ni ail a photograph with the letter for nchlication of this special number.

Notice To All Youth Leaden'',

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance 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."

From One Of Our Good Organizers The sale of life insurance starts with a prospect, the volume of yearly production depends on the prospects, and the continued success of a fraternal representative is tied up with the prospect.

LODGE SECRETARIES, AND WOMEN'S CIRCLES The Press Committee Meeting held Sunday, January 31, at the Temple Headquarters upon deliberation, agreed to accept the generous offer of Vestnik's publishers, represented by Brother Jos. Holasek, to have an enlarged Convention Issue of the Vestnik at no extra cost to the Order. This issue will come out the last week before the San Antonio Convention which will be held beginning June 12-13.

The Press Committee requested the Editor to plan for this enlarged issue of the Vestnik, to immediately place notice to all Youth Leaders, District Leaders.

Organizers, Women's Circles, Secretaries' of Lodges who wish to have an article in this issue to submit this material and pictures to your Editor not later than May 1st.

This May 1st deadline is necessary in order to work up the material, have necessary cuts made from the sub-mitted pictures, and have ample time to assemble this vast amount of material into a pleasing format for the Convention Issue, while putting out each week's current issue as well.

Your promptness and your cooperation is kindly requested by your Editor, so that the material can be handled to the best advantage of the Order.

If you have some unusual lodge history, lodge events which would be of interest to the reading membership, won't you please send it in? Thank you.

Completing or closing a sale is really not too difficult, because nowadays almost everyone believes in the value of life insurance, and in the necessity for carrying it. But to get in the house, to be able to sit and talk to someone, that is something else again, that is 75 per cent of the sale. If we are going to stay in business we must have prospects, always prospects.

In order to secure prospects for their agents, the commercial companies spend millions of dollars advertising for them. They use the radio, every day you can hear life insurance advertised by this medium, they use the local papers, "Dad, what does it mean when it says weekly and monthly periodicals. If in the paper that a man went to a conprospects were easy to get, do you think vention as a delegate-at-large?" they would do this? The names of the "It means that his wife didn't go with large companies are household words him, son."

Please, help your organizer in the writing of new insurance in order that we may again report a successful year in the writing of new insurance for our Order. When you meet with your neighbors whom you know need insurance, why not bring up insurance, You may inform them, that our insurance carries the plus plan of fraternal socials, and you may state too, that our insurance is safe.

Again, may I suggest, that you organize a Youth Club, in your lodge, if you have not as yet done so. The lodges that have organized clubs are experiencing success in lodge work and socials. By organizing youth clubs, you are training workers in your, community.

Those trained today will be the leaders tomorrow.

We will await many new applications from your organizers these first two months, and the reason for this is, that the contest for Miss SPJST is now in progress. Your lodge has the same opportunity to win Miss SPJST as have the others, so get your candidate and help your organizer in the securing of new members.

These candidates will furnish you with possible prospects and help you in securing more membership';for our Order. Remember, it will be the amount of new insurance the candidates help solicit that will determine which one will represent your lodge in the District.

Reports From Local Lodges TO ALL MEMBERS OF LODGE KOMENSKY NO. 20 GRANGER Dear Sisters and Brothers: At our last regular monthly meeting, held on the 10th day of January, the ur... geney of having a Youth Program as a vital section of our Lodge's activities came up for discussion , Quite a bit of time was devoted to this discussion and it was the unanimous opinion of the members present that we should make one more serious effort to activate sucha, program within our Lodge.

Hence, as secretary of our Komensky Lodge, I was instructed to post notice in the columns of the Vestnik that in our forthcoming February meeting — Sunday, Feb. 14 at 2:00 p.m. — we would attempt to organize such a movement.

In view of what is trying to be done, we enlist and solicit a big attendance of the membership and hope that the, ladies will also accompany their husbands. It is a definite fact that we must have the interest of our lady members if we are to succeessfully organize and continue a working and interesting Youth Program. All of the officers, as well as a number of members, are seriously dedicated to such an effort, but we need more complete cooperation from additional members.

If you would like to see such a program effected, please attend our meeting on Feb. 14, at 2:00 p.m.

Fraternally yours, R. F. Holubec Secretary I • etta • ( TO DALLAS AND SURROUNDING AREA — LODGE NO. 84 NOTICE This is to give notice that the regular monthly meeting of the SPJST Lodge Pokrok Dallas No, 84 will be held on the second Sunday, February 14, at 4 p.m. instead of the regular third Sunday.

This appointment coming from Gov. Daniel.

Stanley, as you may know is the son of Brother August Kacir, and I feel like you would like to put in a very nice story in the Vestnik, complimenting and congratulating Stanley. I understand that Stanley has been quite active in the Temple SPJST Lodge.

Fraternally yours, Charley Cerny

Amendments To Our By-Laws ARTICLES 28 AND 68-E Sisters, and. Brothers: Spring meetings of our seven districts are just around the corner, and this is our convention yeaf, must be viewed by every interested member as rather important, considering articles 28 and 68-e of our by-laws.

This article 68-e deserves much closer scrutiny, as it governs nominations of district directors and their substitutes for our seven districts and also nominations of members of the by-laws committee, one for each ,district, and substitutes for their. This is what we have to go by: Article 68-e — "In the year when convention is held, following district representatives are nominated: director, alternate director, member of by-law committee and alternate to by-law committee. Delegates of the district may add further nominations in the convention and submit them for the approval of the convention" . . .

So far so good for the nominations.

Now article 28-b provides: "Officers of the Supreme Lodge are elected by the convention Directors and alternates are nominated by the districts and elected by the convention . . . "

So far the directors and their substitutes are concerned, the by-laws are fairly clear — but, there is no provision anywhere in the by-laws directing how the members of the by-laws committee and their substitutes (here they are called alternates) are to be elected.

Sularnitting the names of these delegates The following is the article as it apfor approval of the convention is' not peared in the paper: cubmitting them for aS vote of the con-.

tan (1952) convention this point was fairly well covered by, at that time, article 30 (b) which reads: "Directors are elected during the convention. Each district must elect its own director and his subtsitute."

So, when time to elect directors was at hand, the chairman of the convention, Borther George Kacir, appointed Brother Ed Marek, president of the Supreme Lodge, to direct where each district shall meet for this election and election of the director, his substitute and memmer of the by-laws committee and his substitute was a matter taking very little time.

Here is my motion for article 68-e: "After the election of Supreme Lodge officers, delegates of each district, in a separate assembly for each district, shall elect a district director, and a member of the by-laws committee and his substitute, each lodge casting vote according to article 12 of these by-laws.

"To accomplish this election, the convention chairman shall appoint one delegate of each district as chairman of the district assembly, designate a place for each district to meet and announce a recess of the convention.

"The chairman of the district assembly shall call the assembly to order and call for nominations as directed by the first paragraph of this article 68-e and approint three delegates as collectors of ballats and tellers of the vote, the first named acting as chairman.

"After the counting of the votes, the chairman of the tellers announces results of the vote to the chairman of the convention who proclaims the names of those elected to be ratified by the convention. The ballots of each district shall then be sealed in an envelope and handed to the convention chairman. If no recount is demanded, the envelope shall be delivered to the secretary of the convention for disposal. If a, runoff is necessary, it shall be ordered by the convention chairman." (This article effective immediately)."

If the provision "effective imsnediately" is adopted with this article, the next (1960) convention will have the benefit of much faster election of district representatives. If this election Should be carried out according to present by-law (?) the ballot will be so complicated and long that using it may be almost An imposition on the ,delegates.

Also, if this motion is adopted as presented, some other changes will be necessary, one of them in article 28 and one in article 30. In article 30 the change is a small one, take out the words "or alternate" in the second and

third lines; but article 28 needs more extensive alterations.

In this article we shall be on safe ground if we present it in entirely new shape, and here it is: Art. 28_b "Officers of the Supreme Lodge are elected by the convention.

Directors are elected according to article 68-e of these by-laws." And that's all we need of paragraph "b" of this article — omit the rest of article 28-b and' also all of article 28-c as unnecessary verbtage and continue this article 28 with the present paragraph "d", Since I have half a page four of this letter left, it may be just as well to point out on the rest of the space the contradiction in article 29 and article 114. This last named article, in the second paragraph, states that as social members may be accepted any member that prematurely exchanges his insurance for paid - up certificate and the fourth paragraph of this article states that such member may be elected "delegate, officer of the local lodge or the Supreme Lodge.

This is previously contradicted in article 29 which states that; "Only an insured member of this organization, who does not have all his insurance prematurely exchanged for PAID-UP insurance may be elected ,to the Supreme Lodge — and let's include "or the local lodge." That article 114 needs a surgeon.

CORPUS CHRISTI YOUTH CLUB Dear Vestnik Readers: We will have our Meeting this month Feb. 14. Our new director is Brother Jim Kucera. We know we will enjoy him as our Youth Director. In our meeting we are electing officers for our coming year and we are going to have Valentine Party and we will also exchange Valentine cards so I am urging everyone to come and bring their Valentine and also refreshments will be served. So see you at the meeting.

Yours truly, Virginia Hermis

On February 14th millions of Americans and the people of many other nations will send little gifts as a token of their affection. It will be Valentine's Day. one of the sweetest holidays we have in the circle of twelve months.

Just when this pleasant custom originated no one seems to know. Just as in the case of various other holidays, the origin is clouded in abscurity and there are many explanations of how it began. One of the explanations as to how Valentine customs originated has to do with the ancient Roman feast called Lupercalia. This was festive ceremony

Wednesday, February 10, 1980 honoring Lupercus, an old Roman rustic deity, during which priests of Faunus — another agriculture and hunting deity — paraded around Rome on the 14th of February clad only in goat skins and striking every woman they saw with goatskin thongs, which was said to insure the existence of a large family. Try that little trick today and you may get .„nywhere from one year to life!

Another explanation of St. Valentin's Day traces the origin back to the old Norman word "galantin." Because of the similarity in pronounciation between "galatin" and Valentine, some people have theorized that the common ranks confused the two words and transferred the meaning of "galatin" to the day celebrating the saint.

Still another theory of how the custom of sending affectionate greetings in February originated is this one: According to popular belief in old Europe during the middle ages, this was the date when birds began to mate. There are several references to this even in the works of the great thirteenth century poet Chaucer.

An interesting aspect of Valentine's Day is the actual form of the remerr4berance down through the many centuries. At first the men and women who were paired as a result of the cards they drew only gave to each other, and this was kept up for some time. Their Valentine souvenir was usually in the form of some romantic gift. Then in later years it was customary for only the man to give something to his future mate. More recently the custom developed for both and girls in love to send other rememberances in the form of paper Valentines we all use now; and in addition to send to other people toward whom they have feelings of affection. ) • A. • SPECIAL DATES AT LODGE 66 WACO Saturday, Feb. 20 — Rudy Kurtz of Shiner Saturday, Feb. 27 — Slim Haisler of Temple Easter Sunday — Slim Haisler's Play Boys Saturday, April 23 — Emil Bartos Orch.

Wednesday, February 10, 1960

Abraham Lincoln Americans think most often of Abraham Lincoln in the light of the momentous events that followed his election in 1860 as the sixteenth President of the United States.

In that year, the nation was about to split asunder over the issues of states' rights and slavery . By the time the tall, gaunt, thoughtful man from the west had taken his oath of office, 11 southern states had left the Union to form the Confederate States of America.

When in the spring of 1861 the Civil War began, the new President's first great purpose was to save the Union — even, if this meant maintaining slavery in the states, where it was legal. But by 1862, he had come to understand that the second great purpose of the tragic conflict must be the abolition of slavery.

Under his leadership both these towering purposes were achieved, and Lin.. coin lives on in reverent memory as the preserver of the Union and the Great Emancipator.

Yet, when Lincoln left his Springfield law office to assume the Presidency at a moment of supreme crisis, he had been a national political figure for a brief time only. So that, when the Republican Party turned to him as a Presidential candidate, he said: "No one, scarcely, outside of Illinois knows, me."

It took time for Lincoln to grow into his office, but once he had done so he stood revealed as one of the giants of history -- a great man who was also a living demonstration of the opportunity that a nation "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" offers to its most humbly born citizen.

Lincoln not only exemplified the principle that all men are created equal, he believed in it. And he always expressed this belief in simple words -- as when he addressed the 166th Ohio Regiment late in the summer of 1864.

After stressing the fact that victory in the conflict would perpetuate this "great and free government," with its

V E. STXt K — WEST, TEXAS "equal privileges for all in the race of life," he said to the battle-scarred soldiers: "I beg you to remember this, not merely for my sake, but for yours, I happen, temporarily, to, occupy this White House. I am a living witness that any of your children may look to come here as my father's child has."

Thus spoke the man who began his long jouney to greatness as a woodcutter, farm-hand Mississippi River boat man, clerk in a country store and postmaster in a village post office.

When Lincoln made his second Inaugural Address, on March 4, 1865, victory for the Union cause was nearly at hand. He used the occasion to express his hope for a humane rebuilding of a, nation almost shattered by the prolonged and terrible Civil War. "With malice toward none, with charity for all," he said toward the close of his address, "with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wound . . . " Before Lincoln could translate into action the policy of reconciliation with the South his words foreshadowed, he was struck.own by an assissin's bullet.

Lesser men who came after him imposed a harsh, vindictive peace.

College Most farm and ranch operators claim annual depreciation on buildings and equipment, but few take advantage of depreciation on livestock. C. H. Bates, extension farm management specialist, says if allowable depreciation on livestock is not claimed each year, the operator loses the deduction. Every ranchman or livestock producer should . discuss this question with whomever makes his tax report. Many tax accountants have devised sheets for keeping continuous depreciation records on the same animals for a priod of years, the specialist adds. )•4•(

When the white man discovered this country the Indians were running it.

There were no taxes, no debt. The women did all the work; and the white men thought they could improve a system like that!

Sports Column Coke County Pays Bounty for Rattlers Austin — Coke County paid $3,921 in bounty to rattlesnake hunters in 1959, according to Warden Raymond Taylor, stationed in that county. Some 5,842 snakes were captured.

Bounties were paid as rattlers were deposited at the County Clerk's office.

Each hunter had to prove that the snakes were taken in Coke County.

Only 87 sets of rattlers were turned i n the first month. However, this number increased .during the spring and summer, as snakes began coming out of their dens.

The biggest increase came later during the winter months, when hunters captured large numbers of snakes in their dens.

Many individuals have become snake hunting professionals. Taylor reports that one hunter collected some $736.50 in snake bounties from October through December. This same hunter found and killed 62 rattlers under one rock. He took 253 sets of rattlers one day, and 251 sets on another occasion.

To drive the snakes out of their dens during cola weather, the hunters spray dens with gasoline. As the snakes crawl from the dens for fresh air, hunters chop off their heads with sharp hoes.

The Coke County Commissioners Court voted last February to pay a 50 cent per snake bounty for a year. County officials have indicated that they may pay it again this year.

• o Game Wardens to Attend School Austin — Thirty-five student game wardens were enrolled at Texas A.&M. College recently for the beginning of a four-month course. Those who pass the course will become full-fledged wardens at the end of the school term, the latter t of May.

Wednesday, February 10, 1960 ment, fisheries and other phases of conservation activities.

The student wardens also will get full instruction on Texas game laws. During the tear they will hear talks by division directors of the Game and Fish Commission, as well as lectures from other departments of the state government.

This is the largest class of students in the 12 year history of the school.

There were no classes held last year, and some of the student wardens now attending have been doing field work for some time.

They have a rigid routine of instruction, with weekend field trips. In addition to this school, there also are two "in service" classes the latter part of May to bring older wardens up-to-date on new phases of their work.

• • Austin — You don't have to go to the coast to get oysters in Texas, according to Sandra Pounds in her interesting article "Neptune's Memento," in the January issue of "Texas Game and Fish". However, she adds, it is just a few million years too late to enjoy the succupent taste of their meat.

"Fossil oysters are found abundantly throughout Texas, sometimes on the surface, sometimes down deep, thousands of feet," she writes.

According to the article, the first oysters appeared on earth about 500 million years ago. The oyster's most prolific era was about 250 million years ago, when dinosaurs were becoming extinct and the areas of New England, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey were being rocked and lifted by great volcanic disturbances.

A long narrow oyster labeled Gryphea, lived in Texas some 250 million years back. "Fossil shells of Gryphaea, which reached almost two feet in length, •are common in parts of the Rio Grande Valley," the article says.

Other large and small oyster shells can be found about the State. It is possible to study these fossil remains and learn whether .the live forms had lived in the open seas or the brackish closed waters and bays. o a • ( One morning a businessman's secretary was showing off a stunning new tailored suit, her birthday present from. her fairdly.

In general your husband's naturalization certificate together with proof of your marriage is sufficient to show your own TO BE HELD AT citizenship status. If you wish to have your own certificate, you may apply for such certificate on Form N-600.
