The major killers — cancer, heart diseases and accidents — do most of the statistic rattling in Texas just as elsewhere throughotut the United States.

But there are lesser killers, no less potent once they strike --- and in many cases the disease is preventable.

For instance, during 1959 there were 52 deaths attributed to tetanus, often called lockjaw. Most could probably have been prevented.

TWenty-four deaths were among infants less than one-year old, but 17 fatn't cases of tetanus were among persons 15years of age or older.

Tetanus can be guarded against with appropriate toxoid injections . In fact, a standard recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatricians is for children to be immunized against tetanus in combination with pertussis and diphtheria, commonly referred to as DTP shots.

Parents are familiar with the D T P shots administeredl to their infants by pediatricians or a family doctor while the child is still less than a year old.

Such early protection is also recommended by State health authorities.

However, the protection afforded by tetanus toxoid loses strength over the years and should be maintained with a periddie booster or in the event of in-

jury subject to tetanus infection if reconunended by your family doctor.

Especially vulnerable are playing children and workers who may be injured on the job.

Males fall victim to the disease nearly twice as often as females. In 1959, there were 34 tetanus deaths among males and only 18 among females.

The teatnus germ is a stable spore which can lie dormant for long periods of time — blowing around in the dust waiting for an opportunity to spring to death-dealing life under the proper conditions of warmth and moisture found in a deep cut or puncture wound (n. even an abrasion.

Tetanus appears to be a stable item in the death columns of Texas. In -1958 there were 57 deaths, 1957-46, 1956-52, and 1955--54 deaths.

It is a small figure in the total death picture of Texas — but even one death is too much when it can probably be prevented with tetanus toxoid.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A Man's Job The Real Tragedy Of A man's job is his best friend . It clothes and feeds 'him, pays rent, and Death.

When we think of death, it is natural for us to think of it as the great tragedy of life.

That is because of the dramatics that surround a death. The last words of the dying, the funeral cortege, the flowers, the sad music, the funeral sermon and the final lowering of the casket into the grave — all are part of a great drama.

But not a tragedy.

For there is nothing tragic about a normal death. Especially is this true of ,death in old age, when the act of dying is as natural as a withered leaf fluttering to the ground.

Death is an act in which each of us will some day play the silent, leading part. And if we really have the faith we profess to have, then death should be an occasion for rejoicing, for that is when one enters into a richer and happier life in another and a better world.

No, there is nothing tragic about a normal death.

The real tragedy of dying is in what Death takes with him. It is the events that follow death.

Death is a conscienceless thief.

And the tragedy in the death of a father is that Death takes with him the incorwe of the family.

Here is a home of happiness: One reaeon it is a home of happiness is because there is a salary check that pays the bills of living. Because there is a salary check, children are sent to school and college. Because of it a good home is maintained. Luxuries are provided for the family -- an automobile, a television eet ,good furniture, automatic gadgets of every kind. Because of it, there are theaters and dancing parties and wonderful vacations to enjoy.

What happens, then, when the monthly salary ceases? We all konw the answer, of course.

Imireediately, a new source of income must be found. And seldom can the

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of Amerie and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." new income equal the income that Death took with him.

Not even when the mother finds a job, Not even when the older children give up their schooling and find work as clerks, sales-girls and trade apprentices.

The end of the old income ushers in an era of hardships— of sacrifices and a lowered standard of living.

But even these things do not make the real tragedy.

The real tragedy is that boys and girls, that ii.oight have become scientists; and musicians, and engineers, and artists, and successful business and professional people, are denied their rightful destinies. And the world is denied their talents.

The real tragedy, therefore, does not end with the funeral. It goes on and on for years — perhaps for entire lifetimes and generations.

So, no matter what the pain and suffering of dying may be, no matter how great the sorrow of parting, it seldom equals the mental anguish and privet tions a mother and her children must endure, when they are Rimed to find an income for themselves.

There is the real tragedy of a father's death!

supplies him with the necessities.

A job is like a garden, that thrives on love, once declared the lamented Arthur Capper. It will one day flower into fruit worthwhile.

If you ask any successful businessman the reason for his making good, he will tell you it is because he likes his work indeed, he loves it. His whole heart and soul are wrapped up in it. His whole physical and reental energies are focused on it. He walks his work; he talks his work; he is entirely inseparable from his work, and that is the way every man worth his salt ought to be if he wants to make his work what it should be', and make of himself what he wants to be. )e

Pass On A Kind Deed The president of a Kansas college not long ago revealed the following story: "When I was ten years old, I started one day to walk to a county fair six miles from my father's farm. It was a blistering fall day. Halfway there, I sat down under a tree, ready to give up.

"A man in a lumber wagon pulled up and said: 'Boy, if your're goin' to the fair, give you a lift.'

"When we stopped at the entrance gate, I climbed down, thanked the stranger, and added: 'Some day, I hope' I can do scortething for you. " 'More than likely you can't,' the man replied; 'you may never meet me again, but if you think I have done you a favor, I'll tell you what you do — pass it along to somebod y else.'

"I never forgot that sentence. When I got older, I began to think of acts of kindness as things that were loaned to me — not given — things to pass on."

Have you ever been in an automobile accident? A dozen people you never saw before, people whose lives touched you at this one point, rushed to your aid.

Perhaps your were sick or taking the wrong road, and strangers helped you.

A kind word, an expression of appreciation, often from a total stranger, heartens us all. The chances are we never see them again. The only way we can pay back the debt is to pass the kindness along. Hoarded kindness, like hoarded bread, becomes moldy and spoils. A kind act is like money — it is made for circulation. Pass it on!

• Life Insurance As An Investment

A good reply to the man who can "make better investments than life insurance" is to agree that he can, for hilDself — but what about his family?

If a man with a $3,600 income saves approximately 8 per cent of it in life insurance, he creates instantly an estate for his family of somewhere around $10, 000.

If this same man puts 8 per cent of his income in other investments and earns 5 per cent net (and where can you earn 5 per cent net with safety nowdays?) never loses a dime, never fails to reinvest equally advantageously on the very day of the maturity of his investment, it will take him a total of 20 years to accumulate an estate of $10,000.

Maybe it would be better for him to wait the 20 years for himself (and that is hard to see, although we will grant it)

Vt f3 T N t K-- WEST, TEXAS

but it certainly is trusting to Fate to make his lamily wait 20 years before they are assured of the protection of the estate he can create in 20, minutes through insurance.

Most of us regard life insurance as an expense that has to be met. That is a wrong attitude. Life insurance provides a orioan's family with things he would line them to have. There is no game of chance When it comes to good life insurance, and if you choose a reliable society like our SPJST which is preparing to enter its 64 year in 1961.

A society that has existed for such a length of time must have provided security and protection because its good reputation insured its growth to the organization it can boast of today . Before you decide to take any type of life insurance -- get full information from any of our organizers or write to the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, Box 400, Temple, Texas. )•

The Fiftieth Anniversary Of Lodge 94 Wheelock From our Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek, we received the following information over the telephone describing the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of our Lodge "Dennice" of Wheelock, Texas, held Sunday November 27, in their Lodge Hall.

The weather on this memorial day was very pleasant and brought out a large gathering of friends and members Of the Lodge from far and near assembled The Supreme Lodge was represented by its President Marek and Brother Urbanovsky the Supreme Lodge Financial Secretary, both of whom made short addresses appropriate to the occasion.

The original minutes of the founding of the Lodge were read and the Charter Members present were recognized and honored. It was an inspiring meeting which will long be remembered by all those who were present.

The editor regrets that he was unable to attend this Celebration and his sincere best wishes go Out to the Wheelock Lodge and its membership for another fifty years Of fraternal endeavor.

With our best regards.

For Our Annual Lodge Meeting The best "shot in the arm" which any lodge can receive is a good write-up in the Vestnik or even local newspapers, with perhaps a good picture of some deserving worker to set it off and give credit where credit is due.

"Every lode likes this type of publicity, but few have correspondents who send in copy regularly. With a little experience, many brothers and sisters could become good writs'rs for their lodges, because all you havQ to do is observe the basic rules, which are applicable everywhere where anything is printed and published.

Pictures are always welcome, but sertain rules must be observed. Get pictures in well in advance of the deadline because these have to be made into engravings. A "glossy" print, a photograph with a bright, shiny finish, reproduces the best. Size of the photograph does not matter, as it can be enlarged or reduced as desired. Do not send in blurry or foggy pictures, because they will not be a credit to you or the Vestnik. Pictures should always be sent in an envelope between stiff cardboard sheets to prevent damage in transit and please enclose postage if you wish to have your picture returned. — Thanks. ) • 49 • (

It's Not A Secret The strength of any fraternal organization can be measured fairly accurately by checking on the caliber of those who support it. Age is a state, of mind, and those who are able to strike a balance between the old and the new, taking from each those things which have the best chances of enduring are usually the true leaders.

Leadership is a precious commodity.

I is more presious than silver and gold and it is more beautiful to behold than diamonds, 'for it shines more brilliantly. It has a warmth and a glow Unmatched by any of these.

We are fortunate in having had *so many leaders to whom we look for guidance throughout our liiebrie. Many of them are old in years now. Many olf them, however, are still young in heart and mind. The list of past officers or this organization reads like a "Who's Who of Texas" and their loyalty to the great cause of our brotherhood.

Those younger men who are assuming places of leadership now, and they are many, will be eternally indebted to those men of vision who have charted the way for them and for others.

erica's Fraternal Societies How fortunate we are who live in America, rather than in Europe with its troubles, turmoil and threatened wars; where the individual has lost all feeling of security and sees but small hope for the future. Unreasoning racial antipathies and unvalled for nationtlistic ambitions account for the turmoil and trouble and constitute a threat to the peace of the world.

We, in America, should be thankful for the privilege of living in view of the present chaotic situation in Europe.

Members of racial and nationalistic entities live side by side, forgetting antagonisms of the old world, despite the fact that some efforts are being made by voluntary and subsidized agitators to recreate these antipathies in America.

We are proud of the fact that these efforts are not succeeding, because in free America old world prejudices have no place. Our capacity for tolerance is a very great aid in rebuffing attempts to settle these ancient prejudices on us.

Where but in Am.erica will you find Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile Members of this same organization, breaking bread together and working for a common purpose — the betterment of all the people, and of the state and of the union. Fraternal benefit societies are exemplification of the capacity of America to resist the advances of subsidized agitators who would inflict us with the "isms" of the old world. There are many organizations of this type, each with a different name, but all with a common purpose — the welfare of their members, and of the state and the nation generally.

They are Practical in their operation, in that they offer protection not only to their members, but also to their dependents and loved ones through the , medium of their cooperative insurance plan.

These organizations are owned, governed and controlled by their members.

Their assets are the common property of all the members, thus giving the racial and nationalistic groups, all of whom are repreSented in their membership, a common goal to attain a common purpose to work out, which in itself is the very best cure for "isms" and prejudices. j The fraternal benefit societies cif America advocate patrotism, love of country and active earnest cooperation among all of its citizens in solving the many problems that confront us. Many of these problems are, of course, the re-

suit of the difficult situation now obtaining in Europe, and we can be sure that the fraternal benefit societies of America, hold in their membership representatives of all of the racial and nationalistic groups of Europe will be a great factor in solving the many difficulties that lie ahead of us.

Mail Early For Christmas Postmaster R. 3 , Hruska of West, Texas in a message to Vestnik states: "This certainly looks like a record breaking year for Christmas mail. Between December 1st and the 25th last year, we handled a total of 81,861 pieces of mail.

So far this year we have already received and sent many Christmas cards, letters and packages, and the heaviest rush is still to come."

The Postmaster states that the present flow of Christmas cards is running about the same as last year, but the mailing of Christmas gifts is lagging somewhat. He suggests that all parcels to most distant places be sent by Air Parcel Post from now on.

Speaking about Christmas gift packages, the Postmaster said, "I cannot emphasize too strongly the vital need for packing and wrapping your Christmas gifts securely. Pack all your gifts in sturdy cartons, wrap them with heavy paper and tie them securely with strong cord. It is sometimes hard to understand why people will be so careless about putting valuable Christmas gifts into the mails in flimsy boxes and loosely wrapper packages. Many of these poorly wrapped packages. Many of these poorly necessary handling, and thus cause much delay and disappointment all around."

The Postmaster further suggests that it is hest to print the recipient's full name, street address, city, zone number and state on all mailing labels, making sure to include an extra label inside your gift packages.

If you will send all your Christmas cards by First Class mail and include your name and address on the envelopes, you will help your friends keep their mailing lists up-to-date. Further, you are assured that any cards that cannot be delivered will bel returned to you for corrected: addresses.

If you wish, to enclose your Christmas card or letter in your gift package, merely add the appropriate letter postage to the postage for the package itself and indicate the presence of a letter or Christmas card inside the package.

7, 1960 The Postmaster expressed his thanks for the fine public cooperation to date and said, "If you'll just follow these simple rules: 1. Be sure your Christmas card and gift mailing lists are up-to-date.

2. Wrap your Christmas gifts securely.

3. Address your cards and gifts legibly and correctly.

4. Use complete addresses — including street number, rural route or post office box number. Be sure that the name of the street is complete with avenue, parkway, or drive. Avoid abbreviations of street and state names , Use zone numbers whenever possible, and 'be sure to include your own zone number in your return address.

5. And most important of all — mail your cards and gifts now!!

If you follow these rules it's sure to be a much merrier Christmas for everybody."

My Advice To My Farmer Friends If our new government which is now being "formulated' can and will give any relief to our farm problem then. our farm leaders had better get together on a plan and get it adopted during the next year. — Otherwise there will be little thought given to us after this selection of leaders if we , do not work together, my friends. — Our politicians cater to minorities, it is true, but only so long as these minorities are large enough and organized to carry a lot qf weight in sections of our country. It looks as though they have pretty well eliminated concern for our la-.4inorit4y group by trying to do away with it. — Your farmer friend.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner )• 4o LODGE NO. 165 MOULTON, TEXAS Dear Members, Ladies and. Gentlemen: Just a few lines in our English Section of our Vestnik! It makes me feel good to see so many good letters in from young and old.

I belong to the Old ones and so does my wife. We are old members since 1911, the year we got married. I was in at that time but my wife wasn't so I said "you must join" so both of us are members. We attend our meetings and it happened, in Lodge No. 24, Cyclone, Tex., both of us were first members, but during the first World War we moved to Lavaca County to Moulton and we still live in Moulton. It's my wife's home place.

My home place now. I was born in Washington County where my father's parents landed from Europe. My father was born in Wesley, Texas, a small pioneer village near Brenham, Texas. As Dad was the only son my grandparents

I've written quite a history. The wife and me had three children, all sons! I was a hard working man — do different kinds of work. When a boy, I worked on the farm, then I worked a while in the blacksmith shop and some in the drugstore, some in a --mloon, then back to a grocery store and also attended Durhams Business College at Waco, Texas for a short time and then the army got me. When I was discharged — back into General Merchandise I went at Moulton. I worked for R. B. Papacek 30 long years. We had some hard times of it. We had our sans going to school here — all three: graduated here from high school — then we sent one after another to college — all studied for engineers and made it! All three graduated and got good jobs — our oldest son now works at the Dow Chemical Company in Freeport, Texas. He is still there having worked up to a nice job. The second one got a job with the Texas Company at Bellaire, Texas, and still works there in the Laboratory and also has a good job; the third son is in Pasadena, Texas, working for the Rhone Hass Chemical Company and also has a good job. They all three are married; the oldest one has made file a grandpa four times with three sons and a daughter and they all live at Lake Jackson, Texas. The second son who lives in Pasedena has three children, two girls and one boy and the third son Jahn Joseph made me a proud grandpa six times. They have five boys and one girl. They all own their homes and are doing fine . The children attend public and parochial school.

The best part of this whole story is that they are ALL members of our SPJST 100 % as we were when they were still home with us. They were volunteers to the Service, one served in the Navy on the Cruiser "New Orleans" and the other joined right after the Japs attacked us in Pearl Harbor — both served long periods of time overseas and when they were discharged they went right back to their jobs for they were both key men in their companies.

The third son too going to get into the Service but was willing to all times like an "old Aggie or A. and M. boy."

Wednesday, December 7, 1960 There is one more thing I would like for our Lodge Secretary Bro. Ad. A. Wagner to check on all our 100 per cent SPJST families and so that it can be published in the Vestnik for I think in our Lodges we have a good many of thepro and that's nice publicity for our Lodges.

We Still haven't elected officers for 1901, so will do so in our next meeting which comes in January 1961. So,membars, don't forget the date, mark it on your calendar, Sunday, December 11th and all come so that we have a good crowd to select from With best regard~ and wishes for a Happy Holiday Season.

You are correct in stating that we should be worried about what is going on within our country. This is a more serious threat to us than the Cold War. Our forefathers came to this country seeking freedorn not security. Now for a little more government aid we are willing to sacrifice a little more of our freedom. The history of man proves that whenyou start giving away a little more of your freedom you soon give it all away and finally become a slave. We should also bear in mind that the goveminent can't give us anything without first taking it away froni someone else,

Wednesday, DedeIm13er 7, NO and then they only give us a part of it back.

When more than half of the people in the United States receive some form of government check it is time for us to be worried.

We have a great country, let's keep it that way so that our children can live a,s free people. Let's ask for more local government and less federal government, and more honesty and efficiency.

We receive what the majority of the people ask for Fraternally, J. C. B.

WIVES LIVE LONGER THAN MATES Figures on prospects that a wife will outlive her husband were presented in a recently released booklet to aid servicel men in planning for the future. The booklet entitled "Army Information Digest," states that when wives are five years younger, 7 out of 10 will outlive their husbandS, and those who dos will average 14 to 16 years as widows. When ages are the same — 6 out of 10 will live longer and spend 12 to 14 years as widows. Those odds are based on latest statistics on life expectancy.

Fraternally, Aleen Skrivanek ) • 4 • WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: Well, December is here and Santa Just around the corner. Already our big cities and their deportment stores are filled with merchandise which thrills the heart of adult as well as child and the homemakers wandering down the aisle looking and pricing articles before surrendering her Christmas funds to the patient saleslady, who even now is complaining of her aching feet. That's the commercialized Christmas — where the dollar buys trinkets or treasures. There is another Christmas, however, a simple and a spiritual Christmas, which in the years remains in the minds of the family, long after toys and trinkets have been discarded and forgotten. This type of Christmas takes much more work and much planning, but even in this work there is much joy and happiness, for here the hope is that the work will give pleasure to the recipient. So, our busy homemaker, bakes, cooks, sews, crochets, quilts, knits and otherwise uses her imagination and talent in creating—giving something of herself, her thought and her time. She scans her canning shelf for jams and jellies she made this summer from her bountiful orchard and garden, she puts these in a Christnaas dress of glittering paper and ribbon, to give a rememberance to some appreciative person who enjoys eating. As she ties and tags each gift, she sends her warm rememberances and love with it. Spiritually she is happy. _ Ifty we compliment our lodges who

Wednesday, Dectimber 7, WOO are planning a Christmas party for their ith"Uiat is; '3rOung at heart and young in years! Your children are the most precious commodity that you possess and how you bend that twig, so shall the tree grow.

Given a free hand in club work, they prove themselves quite capable of doing some astounding things. It wasn't until they were organized into a Youth Club that they really swung into work to glean many hunderds of dollars in new insurance and memership in their Queen's contest, etc., and in a body put their shoulders to the wheel in functions which astounded not only their Mother Lodges but the Whole brotherhood. It made us all proud to call them amps!

We all had a good time working with them! I urge our sisterhood to stand be hind their youth, to help them stand on their own two feet, to help them in their undertakings until they learn the ropes; they will do your lodge proud!

Speaking of Christmas Parties, may the Editor and I both thank so, many of you for your invitations to attend your Christmas programs — of course, while the spirit is willing the mortal body cannot tear itself into the necessary segments to make them all, but we would appeal to the good sisters, or brothers, to write Vestnik's readers about it. The brotherhood will be interested in knowing what your lodge is doing. Your letters are read all over the world by our scattered membership, and it's like a letter from home for some of our overseas members.

We've just had our first Carollers, tonight. Four older couples singing "Silent Night" before my door, singing for their Church Mission to onake someone, somewhere remembered on Christmas. The forgotten little children especially tug the heart! So you see, Christmas is really here.

Inthe three issues of the Vestnik before Christmas, may we both wish for all of you reading membership a Blessed Christmas. This year has been one of joy and sorrow in measure, but it has been blessed for us with you our many friends and contributors, and we are looking forward to the coming year of working and playing together in our Lodge activities and to the sincere and warm fellowship which you so generously have given us.

God bless you!

The Editor's Wife P.S. By popular request, I am repeating the Pecan Cake recepe contributed to Vestnik's readers by Mrs. Joe Mazanec of West, Texas. It's so easy to make and so good!

PLACEDO LODGE NO. 97 Dear Brothers and Sisters: I am, more than likely forced to write into our Vestnik and that is due to so small attendances at our Monthly Meetings.

Our Election of Officers for our Lodge is coming up in our next monthly meeting so I am urging our members to be SURE and come to our December meeting, and vote for officer_s of your choice on December the llth.

It's not that we want to trick you in for "It';'` not a trick" but it is so you would all come and at least vote some officers in.

The officers can't vote themselves in!

So please show us your interets and be present — I know there are no excuses now that you would be too busy. It has been raining so much here that there isn't anything you could do! If a person starts a garden then in a few days there comes a rain and drowns everything out, so there are no fall gardens this year in our community.

I hope to see you all at our next meeting.

Marie Vrla ) •4 MY TRIP TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA El Monte, Calif.

I have been asked to acquaint some of the readers with my background by giving a brief summary of my past activities before I rescribe my trip to Czechoslovakia. Since this article is intended primarily for the young people of college age for informational purposes, perhaps my experiences may be helpful to the planning of some individuals.

My father cane to Texas from Czechoslovakia with his parents at the age of eleven, but my mother was born in Texas. My early life wa sspent in the Texas. My early life was spent in the of Dime Box and Caldwell, where most of us kids knew only a very few words in English when we started' grade school, mainly because the language spoken in our homes was exclusively Czech. During my stay at the University of Texas in Austin, I participated in many of the Czech activities such as being a member and also presidlent of all the Czech Clubs (Cechie, Progressive Czech, University Czechs), Manager of Intramural Athletics of these different clubs, participant in Czech plays, member of SPJST, member and secretary of the' Czech ExStudents Association, writer to the Vestnik, etc. My studies included taking five years of elective Czech courses (all that, were offered at that time). Following my university training, my work involv-

ESTNt — WEST, TEXAS !ed teaching physics or mathematics at ; Texas Christian University, University of Texas, Huron College (South Dakota), University of 'Wyoming andi University of Missouri. As an officer in the Armed Forces, some of my instructing was in Signal Communications and Russian background. While teaching and doing graduate work in physics at the University of Missouri, I found that my knowledge of' the Czech language helped a great deal in my studies of the Russian and German languages. Lately, my interests have been in Semiconductor Physics in industry; first with Texas Instruments in Dallas, later with Rheem Semieoncluotor Research in Mountain View and now with Hoffman Semiconductors in El Monte, California. I believe that my participation in the Czech activities listed above and my knowledge of the Czech and Russian languages had more influence than My work in the Semiconductor field upon the Czechoslovak Executive Committee for awarding me one of the ten scholarships through UNESCO to attend the International Conference on Semiconductor Physics in Prague, Czechoslovakia, last September. At the conference which was attended by about eight hundred scientists (physicists) from almost every major country in the world, my knowledge of several languages was helpful for interpretations and translations between Russian, German, English and Czech languages. This conference with its activities was very successful in that it was truly international. The friendly association of participants and their exchanges of scientific ideas in these• troubled times created a better feeling and understanding among those present.

The Ctechosloyak representatives were and should be highly praised and complimented for the excellent job they did in making this bi-annual conference such a good one. The papers presented and discussions following were in Czech, Russian, French, German and English with three simultaneous translations into English, Russian and Czech.

Since I was able to attach my vacation time to this trip, my wife and I flew on the SAS polar jet to Copenhagen, Denmark, where we spent three days. Our next visits consisted of four days in London, five days in Paris, two days in Zurich and finally eleven days in Prague.

In order that this article is not unnecessarily lengthy, only a few of our ex perinces in Czechoslovakia will be dedescribed. Since our trip was arranged rather suddenly, we did not have sufficient time to get a formal visa to Czechoslovakia before leaving the USA; so when we arrived at the Ruzyne Air-

Strema 2$ port outside Prague, we had to get or visa there. Invitation the the conference authorized us one, but my, kribwledge of the Czech language helped to get an app roval with minimum delay.

After clearing customs regulations, within twenty minutes via bus transportation arranged by the conference we arrived at the International Hotel where again excellent services were exe tended to us. Since the conference headquarters was located at this hotel, I was told that the staff on duty was waiting for the arrical of the "American Czech," as I was the only American of, Czech descent and knowing the language registered for the conference. After completing registration and meeting several of the conference officials, we studied the literature given to us and then planned the activities and itinerary for our stay in Prague. That night my wife and I ate dinner in the terrace restaurant listening and dancing to an orchestra playing music for various types of:Czech dances. Much of the next day, was-spent sight seeing in Prague. Then that ,ave,e ning a prelude to the conference ewals the get together of the participant..a-:JO: a "friendly evening" sponsored ebya executive committee. Here refreelimer0 of all types of Czech light food, and drinks were served continually through! out the evening. We have never seeresp many different types of good foods , and naturally all of us saknpled as many of them as possible. The purpose , of this "friendly evening" was to give theTnefue hers the opportunity of getting Asa quainteldl with one another before , conference actually started. Some knowledge of different languages was eApo,7 cially helpful in making friends for the foreign countries from all over We world. During the latter part of the evening we were entertained by a concert given by the well known Czlech trio of Belcik, Rauch and Smetana on a pianO, violin and cello. Free government transportation by buses was furnishedto from all hotels to this and all other social and business meetings.

The conference was formally opened Monday morning by the president of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and lasted all week. One entire aftern.00rt was devoted to a guided tour on government buses, visiting historical places in Prague, such as Hradcany, the Golden, Lane, Vysehrad, National Museum, Old Town Square, Tyn Church, Huss Monttkrient, the Ghetto, Jewish Cemetery, Charles Bridge, Clementinuni, WcnCes las Square, Royal aurnrner Palace and many others. Perhaps the most interest ing part of the• tour was the hour spent 'going through the Old Hradcany Castle

trans 26 and surroundings where presently the Czech government is housed. The special program for the wives who accompanied some of the participants included trip to Kutna Hora, once famous for its silver mines and where the "white" Czech groats were mined. Some of the visits in Prague were to the Moser Glass Works, Fashion Shows, prague Gardens; Art Galleries and the National Museum. One evening we attended the Laterna Magika, a cleverly executed piece of entertainment using a film and stage combination which gaine world fame at the Brussels Exhibitim i14 1 ),958. The highlight of the social 140 ram was the performance of the Deers,: !`Rusalka" (The Nymph) by Anton:Ai] Dvorak at the National Theater sn.yriday evening. fler the business sessions of the conf4nce : ended the members were given ortunity of going on organized eXCtirsl'Ons and also going through the physical laboratories of the Czech Academy 1 Sciences and Charles University in Prague. While I was a student in cAlleger I had 'hoped that some day IAOtild'iget the opportunity to study at tI3T%4Places. I am very grateful to my rww,ezeich friends (Physics Professors) filrlak* so much of their time to show meuprivately their favilities and discuss pi;obtem of mutual interest with me. epe laboratories the informal exof ideas with the Czech and Russian scientists was especially pleascursions of great interest were at as,the all-afternoon trip to KarlsNei most beautiful castle in Czech% 'a dating from the 14th Century arid the whole day tour to Melnik (14n? sVars), Bezdez Castle (12th Cent '" ).,and Macha Lake (summer resort ega givi)rming) We were able to see the Cmhailova.kian countryside, pass th,r9iai; villages and observe people w rginp,on the small farms.

One of the Horaks gave me a souvenir which my grandfather Horak gave his father before he left for America. To me the trip to Slivno was worth more than anything else on my entire trip to Europe. The people in Czechoslovakia treated us very hospitably and I hope that some day soon I can go back there for a much longer visit.

• • Carp Fithing Time at Hand in Texas Austin—Don't ever underestimate the fighting spirit and the tasty meat of carp and buffalo. Right now, many fishermen are having some real fun fishing for these two "bugle-mouths," while many others are just sitting around and

waiting for the white bass and crappie runs, according to Ken Jurgens, assistant director of inland fisheries, Texas Game and Fish ComrDission.

Carp and buffalo axle often discredited as fighting fish. Actually, they don't leap and splash about like bass, but they will tug harder and longer than most bass, explained Jurgens. And catching them isn't as easy as some fishermen might think.

Dough bait seems to be thei best atattraction. Most stands which handle tackle and live bait also have several brands olf dough bait. It not, said the biolOgist, write the Commission in Austin for their carp fishing bulletin, which contains a number of recipes.

Make a ball of this bait and shape it around the hook. Ask your tackle man for a good carp hook. Toss this bait out and allow it to settle on the bottom.

Carp are bottom feeders and they will come along and such' it up.

It's hard to see any movearient on the line when a carp takes the bait, especially if you are holding the pole. Lay the pole down and watch the line just where it enters the water. Pick the pole up and take in the line when you see the slightest movement . You're in for s ► riet real excitement.
