31:ran a 14, THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET In most other countries having Cabinets, the Cabinet itself is the supreme decision-making body other than •h,4 Parliament. Decisions are group decisions. All members of the Cabinet gust b e consulted and, under the Prime Minister's chairmanship, must reach some accommodation of viewpoint; and all members of the Cabinet bear some individual or collective responsibility for the government.

In the United States, our governmental system is quite different. Only the President, from his direct election by the people, is responsible for the Federal Government's activities in the Executive Branch. He solely carries the burden of decision.

In fact, the Cabinet is not even mentioned in the American Constitution, in any law or in any Executive. Order, The American Cabinet is an outgrowth of austciri and tradition — strong tradition to be sure — going back to George Washington, but none the less, tradition.

The President is free to consult his Cabinet, or not to sonsult it, as he wishes. He is never "boxed in" by a system which might force him to use certain advisors rather than others, or rather than none at all, if he wishes.

Who is a member of the American Cabinet? The answer: anyone the President regularly invites. The ten department heads, such as the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury and so on, are members; this is traditional. These men and women are, incidentally, appointed as Department heads by the President subject to approval by the United States Senate.

Vice President Nixon is a member of the President's Cabinet, and this is a departure. Our representative at the United Nations, Henry Cabot Lodge, is a member of the Cabinet, as was Disarmament Advisor Harold Stassen -this illustrates the personal nature of the Cabinet membership.

The Cabinet, once an informal gathering serving as a sort of "sounding board" for the Present, has today assumed such an important role that a staff has been created to help the Cabinet members. For the first time the Cabinet now has a secretariat to prepare its agenda, circulate its papers in advance and keep track of the decisions.

Robert Gray is the Secretary of the President's Cabinet, 4 eta At'astnk novk rok 1961. viem sestram a bratii•SPJST. pfejo redaktor a yyda-

Life Insurance Is A B ost to 1961 Economy The life insurance business in 1961 will continue to have a major influence on the United States economy. While there may be differences of opinion as to the extent of overall butinesa and personal prosperity in the coming year, we have reason to believe that life insurance will maintain its steady growth pattern.

Despite differing economic forecast's, there is no doubt that life insurance, both through the avenues of protection and investments, will contribute materially to a re-development of prosperity during the year.

Frana the standpoint of protection, it is expected that American families will purchase $75,000,000,000 of life insurance and their total ownership will pass the $650,000,000,000 mark. This aggregate is a great stabilizing force in the economy.

Nearly three-fourths of the new sales total will be under ordinary plans. The average amount of life insurance owned per insured family will be over $13,000.

The end result of polickholder thrift are the benefits to be paid in increasing amounts to policyhoulders or their beneficiaries. This year, total payments to American families by their life insurance companies under life, health and annuity contracts, will exceed $11,000,000,000, a significant sum which is available to families for the purchase of goods or services.

The second role of life insurance in the economy of the nation is as a major source of capital funds to meet the demands of the economy. ApproxiIrately 4 per cent of the disposable income of the American people goes into life insurance premiums and most of this money becomes available for investment.

Last year one out of every seven dollars of the capital requirements of the economy came from life insurance dollars and this flow of capital funds from life insurance will continue. By the close of 1961, there will be a total of more than $125,000,000,000 of policyholder funds financing the needs of business and industry, private home owners and community development. during the year, new funds totaling $6,000,000,000000 will go into the capital markets and together with the reinvestment of maturing securities will Er.4ake possibly 20,000,000,000 available for new investment. Translating these investments into jobs created and maintained, home ownership, business and industrial expansion, and important community services, well diversified throughout the

VESTNiK -- WEST, TEXA$ nation, we get some idea of the economic influence of life insurance.

In 1961, the life insurance business will be meeting the anticipated challeni, es of a competitive and changing market. For instance, we are at the beginning of an upward swing in the number of family starts. The marketing features introduced within the past few years and which have received wide acceptance are only at the starting point of potential growth.

Through the sales efforts of professional life insurance representatives in the field, and increased education as well as by intensified home office merchandising procedures, the life insurance business will make greater efforts to reach millions of American families whose life insurance programs fall far short of potential needs.

Hallettsville Salutes Topp-' Pacek Situated on the corner of the Hallettsville Square is the F . K. Bucek and Sons Grocery Store, founded by Brother F. K , Bucek, and now observing its fourteenth year in business.

The whole community of Hallettsville and its shopping area saluted "Poppa" Bucek as he is affectionately known in those parts and that of his fine sons Edwin and Julius this week in their local paper. Brother George Bucek, another son, is head of a Department Store in Hallettsville.

Important i4otice For the benefit of those who do not know: as a mutual fraternal order, our Financial Secretaries do not mail out "statements" of premitarts due. As a member of a fraternal ordenit is your duty to attend your monthly lodge meetings, and to keep your premiums paid up.

These duties together with other rituals prescribed by the State Insurance Law, give us a different tax structure to that of stock companies.

So, if you owe for premiums, make it a point to come to your Lodge meeting and pay them, as no due notice will be mailed you.

----) • 4, LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS BREEZES THROUGH RECESSION The life insurance business breezed right through the 1960 recession, reach1 ing new peaks in everything, president i Deane C. Davis told the institute of life insurance recently.

The Vestnik is happy to present to its readers, pictures from the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, Texas, made during the visit of the Youth and their Youth Leader and Members of the Waco Lodge No. 66 at Christmastime 1960.

The Youth of Lodge 66, sold candy, proceeds of which went for the benefit of the Rest Home. They also brought along their beautiful white choir robes, donned them and gave the guests at the Rest Home some rare and delightful moments singing Christmas Corals for them.

The pictures presented represent the men guests visiting on one side of the spacous and beautiful reception hall with its accompanying libraries.. Also seen is the corridor leading into the men's wing of the Home, and the lady guests of the Rest Home on the other side of the Hall, chatting with the women visitors from. Lodge 66. Note the two aittiful oil paintings hung on the walls of the Rest Home.

The day had been cloudy and disagreeable when the carloads of Linden's Youth pulled out to go to Taylor for the singing of the Carols and to make the money presentaion. They all remarked how the guests appreciated the speeches, the songs, as well as the fruit presented.

To top all of this, when the cars pulled out to go , home, the sun burst through the clouds and shown so brilliantly that the Youth maintained that it was a good Omen, that God was pleased with them, and they were all very happy.

This, brothers and sisters, is the spiritual side of Christmas and it is very hearteing to see our Young people appreciate and understand this side of Christian living, too.

Brother Troubil, manager of the Home spoke in Czech, welcoming the visitors to the Home. Lodge 66 Youth is supposedly the first to make this pilgrimage to the Rest Home. in the name of the Prince of Peace. They are a wonderful young people! More pictures from this visit will be presented in the next issue.

A cheerful tetriper spreads like the dawn, and all the vapors disperse before it. Even the tear dries on the cheek, and the sigh sinks away half-breathed when the cheerful eye and the kindly word beams upon the unhappy.

Let Us Put S ietual Values First LET US PUT SPIRITUAL VALUES ABOVE MATERIAL, SAYS LODGE 66 PRESIDENT AT CHRISTMAS PARTY (Delayed) Lodge No. 66 Elm Mott held their annual Christmas Party, Saturday, December 17, to capacity crowds of the membership and guests.

In his Christmas Message to his Lodge Brother Janke reminded the membership that "The Birthday of the Prince of Peace draws near and once o g..ore through th e tawdry tinsel and blaring commerce we catch a glimpse of the perfection toward which man must strive. If we contrast our accomplishments with the perfect, they seem petty, indeed . But, even the colored lights, sale signs, and selfish hawking are recognition of the existence of the perfect for the celebration is His regardless of man's method of celebration.

"It may well be that how much we have striven is more important than how much we have accomplished or how near to perfection We -have ap proaehed. On the other hand, suppose that man could easily attain the goal of perfection which now is so far out of his reach. What would be left for him?

Like Alexander, he would 'be desolate with no more worlds to conquer.

"Man is meant to strive and not fully attain. Man is meant to travel hopefully, not to arrive. Man is at his best only when he tries his best and still has more for which to strive.

"Regardless of our accomplishments or our striving we can all be thankful that the goal of perfection is always before us. We can never reach it for men are only part gods and perfect God is for gods only. We can move slowly day by day in the right direction.

We can love mankind a little more and ourselves a little less, We can show some progress in making our community a better place of habitation. We can criticise less harshly and praise more kindly.

"Suppose for a moment that the perfect life had never been lived. Suppose we had no model of thought and action.

Then man would, indeed, be lost for each would be left with nothing but the will to grab and the spirit of greed. ."Let us glory as fraternalists in this Holiday Season. We say we put the Spiritual values above the Material values, LET US DO 50. Let us be as individual at this Christmas Season as

VESTNIK---WEST,TEXAS good as our goals imply," concluded Bro. Janke.

Acting as Master of Ceremonies, Linden Hall's Brother Otto Hanus introduced the speakers of the evening, welcoming everyone for corning to Linden's party.

Following Bro. Janke, our own Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek, brught greetings from fellow officers who were not present, Brother Marek, also spoke in the Spiritual vein of Christmas saying that if we could go back 2060 years onto the plains of Asia, and lived among the shepherds, we 'could better appreciate this Spirit of Christmas, as did the three wise men who journeyed to Bethlehem, who rejoice in the birth of our Savior, showered him with gifts, for he was our promised salvation.

As fraternalists, the First Commandment that we should "Lave they neighbor as thyself" was given to man by God Himself. We cling to this example of giving and receiving gifts; the sharing of gifts from the time of these three wise men who came to Bethlehem to offer their gifts to the new born King. The Savior came to us that we may be saved, and we who follow in his footsteps reap the benefits of love, our families, our neighbors and those with whom we, associate with for as fraternalists follow the Commandment that we love our neighbor as ourself.

Remembering those departed members who worked with us through the years, have lived with us, their tasks, their kind deeds, their love for us, and their association; it is on this occasion when we gather that our minds go back to those days with those who will not be with us any more." Not wishing to prolong the anxiety of the figgity small fry on the front row, Brother Marek, shared his time with our Vice-President, Brother Joe B. Hejny.

Bro. Hejny, also, reminded that "we came to enjoy ourselves and a friendly spirit of Christmas and to wish each and everyone the best of everything to all here tonight in the future. I want to compliment Lodge 66 for the successful program that they have been having, sponsoring their Youth. I want to stress that we at the home office appreciate the work that you are doing. You are one of the most active lodges and youth cooperation in the state of Texas and we at the Home Office certainly are proud of each and everyone of you, regardless of what you might have contributed, to the efforts of making Linden Hall what it is today. I want to bring greetings from the Home Officers, namely brothers Koliha, Urban-

Wednesday, - Decernber . 28, 19M ovsky and Kacir, who were not able to come and be with you, but wanted me to express their greetings to you." in rapid succession, Editor Hosek spoke, saying "whenever he came to Linden Hall he got lots of enthusiasm from them for fraternal work and complimented them all on the nice way they (the small fry) were conducting themselves, during the speeches. Wishing the on a Merry Christmas, Brother Hosek gave up the speaker's rostrum to Brother Stanley Vrla, representing his brother-in-law, District Three Organizer, Bro. Arnold Vrla, who was unable to come because of illness in the family.

Bro. Vrla, too, made a very short talk, stating that he was happy to be among the Lodge 66 membership, wishing them all a Merry Christmas.

Then Sister Emma Ceska, read the winning letter in the Writing Contest, to announce names in the various age brackets, and award prizes. The following received prizes. Kathie Moore, a first grader, won first prize, followed by Johnny Gaidusek, Cindy Moore, a second grader, Christopher Spence a 18-yearold. In the Teen-Age Bracket, Faye Spence won first prize, Mary Sue Moore, received second prize. Then the Youth presented their beloved Youth Leader a Gift, presentation made by a pretty Youth Club Member.

Then followed the program presenting the talent of the Lodge 68 Youth.

Inasmuch as the youngsters were not known by name to the Editor, this program will be written up by their Youth Leader and presented to Vestnik's readers. Suffice to say it was most enjoyable.

Finally, the long awaited moment arrived and Santa walked in waving and laughing at the youngsters, who rose in unison like a tidal wave to engulf him. Then pandemonium broke loose.

Bags of fruit and candies were distributed, gifts exchanged, and all the beautiful and time consuming wrappings became under one's feet. It was a night for the wee-ones, the young, and grandparents, who watcher and relived bygone days when Santa to them, too, was a miracle.

After the excitement subsided, a buffet supper of sandwiches, wonderful and various pastry and baked goodies and coffee were served. While •the young Teenagers and Youth, took to the dance floor to the music of a band, the older members and guests, leisurely sat arOund visiting and exchanging views.

The tables, too, had paper cloths with boughs of juniper and peppermint candy sticks for decorations. The chanreliers in the dining room, too were tinselled, and when lit, lighted the other Christmas decor. In the Hall, a huge live evergreen Christmas tree stood shining its welcome to everyone who stepped into the Hall.

Beside it stood a mechanical Santa Claus in red velvet and a snowy white beard waving us all in. Under the tree were stacked the bags of fruit, and gifts brqught in for guests and friends.'

In separate booths, according to age bracket, were piles of gifts for the membership assembled for the "Gift Exchange!" At one table a registry was placed for Door Prize entries. Some very lovely French stuffed Animals were given to the Linden's sprouts who won, while the older membership received lovely and useful gifts that they could use.

Thanks to Linden Hall's officers for their invitation to attend this wonderfal party. everyone had such a good time, and all of those with whom we talked declared that they shall be looking forward all next year for their next play, at it always has something new and refreshing to its membership and guests.

May the Editor wish the membership of Lodge 66, continued success in the New Year, with an abundance of health, happiness and contentment for each and every one of you and your families.

The spirit of fraternal brotherhood was high on this occasion, may it continue so during the corning twelve months.

Whate the new year brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! to you all at Lodge 6(t.

Christmas Party At Elk Lodge No. 35 JOY TO THE WORLD, SING YOUTH OF LODGE 35 AT FIRST CHRIST/VMS PARTY (Delayed) The Elk Hall, at Elk, Texas, of Lodge No. 35, reviberated with children's voices Sunday night, December 18, when Santa Claus made hie stop for the first time at the Hall, at the Christmas Party there.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. Brother Anton.

Pevekirso aiiWag as Master at Ceremonies,

ESTN f K- WEST, TEXAS opened the evening program with a few words of welcome and then introduced Vestnik's Editor, who also spoke to the membershiP, about our fraternal order, what its aims are and the progress laaade.

He pointed out to the large English speaking section of the membership that as a Texas fraternal Order our membership is steadily growing, we own our own Home, our Supreme Lodge Offices being In Temple, Texas, we have a nice Rest Home for the Aged in Taylor, Texas, and we have many millions of dollars invested in mortgage loans and in Lodge Halls all over the state, where 'they serve our membership, their growing youth, and their communities as centers of recreation. "Our Order has a very noble purpose and we should be proud to belong to our SPJST and the men and women who keep the lodge active are assuming a big responsibility and are doing a good job; they deserve our respect and assistance everywhere, concluded the editor.

Brother Pavelka, then cautioned the ones to sit quietly on the front row while the short Youth Program. was presented, that Santa said he would be there, grAaybe a little late, but he sure would come.

The good Sister E. H. Frazier accompanied the Youth at the piano and they opened the program with the beautiful carol "Joy to the World."

A recitation: "The Spirit of Our Offering," by Linda Pavelka and Kathy Zalman was fallowed by a well loved carrol: "Away In a Manger."

Then, Betty Joyce Pavelka recited "Advice to Santa," again followed by a carol "0 Little Town of Bethlehem."

"Yuletide Queen," by Carolyn Bordovsky, was followed by "0 Come All Ye Faithful."

Elaine Pavelka recited: "All Over Town," followed by the carol "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."

Pretty Janie Pavelka recited: "Sympathy for Santa," followed by "Silent Night."

"Goodnight," by Cynthia Woods, concluded the Youth Program. It was very nice indeed.

Then the Christmas Feast followed.

With the saying of Grace, led by a good sister whose name we didn't catch, the wee hungry ones, hurriedly formed lines and with paper plates in their hands, and going on both sides of the tables, stored away their food with dispatch for the most important part of the evening, namely: Santa's arrival, was at hand.

The beautiful decorated tables, the variety of foods, the pastry table, the coffee table, all laid out for the quick, buffet style of serving was soon only am-

Strana 17 pty dishes, as the long line of members and friends enjoyed the meal arid the visited with friends and relatives.

Glasses of amber effervesant water ana cups upon cups of coffee, and soda pcc washed the delicious food down.

When the tables were cleared, anothet of the Pavelka boys, announced over the mike that the store across the street sent word that Santa was just around the corner. Quickly the front rows were again filled with figgity, wiggly, youngsters who kept their eyes on the front door, when he would burst in.

Suddenly their came a roar of human voices from the back from the adults as Santa came bursting in waving his one free hand and the little ones, like everywhere else, converged upon him like a tidal wave. The shutterbugs had to climb upon the stage to get a shot of him at all, for they were five deep around beloved Santa Claus.

Bags of fruit and candy were distributed to the children, gifts exchanged, and visiting followed. — Brother Pavelka helped us to secure some good pictures for the Vestnik (Sorry, I have not received them as yet).

The Record Player was attached to their wonderful loud speaking system and the Teen-agers started dancing.

Everyone agreed that the First Christmas Party at Elk was a success and that it would be repeated and enlarged upon next year. They had worked hard to make this first a success and that it was.

There was a beautiful evergreen Christmas Tree with lights on the stage, the hall overhead was hung with garlands of multicolored paper fringe, the tables were covered with spotless white paper tableclothes, and a lovely centerpiece of golden balls stacked to form a tree, put the final touches to the layout.

The Editor and wife thank the Elk Lodge for their kind invitation to visit them, for their hospitality, their warm welcome, new friends, and the wonderful but large group of young people and youngsters, with whom we all made friends. They are a wonderful group of young people and we hope they will put down roots in that wonderful spot on top of the world, it seems, (one can see I Waco at night like a long string of shining beads).

We wish for them much success in the coming year, 1961 and congratulate them j on their successful First Christmas Party.

A number of us. men and women, are guilty of failing to properly exercise our minds and improve our education, thus expanding our knowledge. This does not mean that we should be bookworms, or that we should dry up and get serious about everything.

However, in the opinin of the Editor, every citizen shares a responsibility to look into the issues which face this country, his state and local community, and try to inform himself, to some slight ;degree an the more important ones.

Too often, in our modern civilization, we are prone to do very little thinking, a great deal of talking and little or no research or investigation, to discover the truth or improve our knowledge in various fields It is too easy to watch tele-I vision, go to a movie or do something which requires no thought, and which is strictly pleasure, to turn aside these indulgences and exercise our brain power.

Nevertheless. it is suggested that readers find some stimulating hobby, or subject, in which they can interest themselves, and that they attempt to learn something about it either by reading, studying, or by doing some pioneer or hobby work in that field. And hardly any subject can be covered properly, if at all, if the interested individual does not do some reading on the subject.

This is What we are trying to accomplish with some of our articles in our Vestnik.

It is disappointing to see citizens reach an advanced age with no particular knowledge in any field, except in the field of conversation, pleasures and indulgences, and not-creative pursuits.

Every citizen should try to contribute something to his community, his state and nation, in order to assist the general progress. What are you doing, or have you done, toward that end?

• " A big-league umpire once remarked that he could never understand how crowds in the grandstand, hundreds of feet from the plate, could see better and judge more accurately than he, when he was never more than a few feet away.

In life, we too, can call a strike on a man that we are too for away to understond.

Perhaps, if we had a closer view of the man and his problems, we would reverse our decision. ) • 61 • (—

Social Security Social security amendments signed by the President on Sept. 13, will bring benefits to an estimated 125,000 additional disabled workers and to the members of their families throughout the county, Maurice M. Chastain, manager of the Temple Social Security Office, announced recently.

Mr. Chastain pointed out that the change regarding disability ∎ benefits is only one of a number of changes made by the amendments. The new law will bring increased benefits to 400,000 children and through liberalized work requireccients, will make some 250,000 people age 65 or over eligible for benefits.

Other significant provisions increase the number of people eligible for benefits and increase benefits in some instances.

Returning to disabbility insurance, Chastain explained that a person can now qualify for disability benefits without regard to his age. If he has worked long enough under social security and if his disability is severe enough tomeet the definition in the social security law, he and eligible members of his family may draw the benefits even if he has not reached 50 — the age required in the prior law.

"Those who have already made application to have their social security records frozen because of their disability do not need to take any action now," Chastain said. "The Social Security Administration has their records on file and will write to them telling them what they should do. However, those disabled people who have not had a previous contact with a social security office to discuss disability protection should get in touch with the nearest social security office or field representative right away because benefits cannot be paid until an application for them is made."

Another change made by the new amendments affects people entitled to benefits who are working . Unchanged is the rule that a person can get social security benefits for every month of the year if his earnings for the year do not go over $1,20. For amounts over $1,200 — the following formula applies beginning 1961: One dollar in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earnings between $1200 and $1500. If a person earns more than $1,500 he forfeits a dollar in benefits for each dollar that his earnings go over the $1,500 amount. However, in spite of this rule, no one will forfeit benefits for any

V P,

STNt. ti — WEST, TE7AS

month that he earns $100 of less in wages. Lf he is self-employed, he does not lorfeit a benefit for any month that he does not engage actively in the affairs of his business.

Families drawing social security benefits for two or more children and now receiving the maximum payable to a family will find an additional amount added to their social security checks for December 1960, because of a change which calls for payment of an amount equal to three-fourth of the base amount to each child. This is changed from the formula which provided for one-half of the base amount to each child with a quarter of the base amount divided among all the children. Families aflected by this change need to take no action. The additional amount will show up on the social security check which they receive in January 1961.

Chastain explained that the amendments also reduce the amount of work time needed to qualify for benefits. Instead of needing two calendar quarters of work for every four quarters after 1950, the number of work quarters required is now one for three. Unchanged, however, is the provision that no one may get benfits without at least six quarters of work. "Anyone who has failed to qualify for benefits in the past because he did not have enough work under social security should call at the local social security district office to find out if this new provision now makes him eligible," Chastain said.

Otner changes made by the amendments extend social security to parents working in a trade or business owned by a son or daughter, permit non-profit organizations to provide social security coverage for present employees who want coverage, and for employees hired in the future even if less than two-thirds of the employees desire this coverage, and give clergymen, whose social security participation is optional, an extension to April 15, 1962, to choose to be included under the social security plan.

A further change allows benefits to be paid to wives, stepchildren, and adopted children of retired and disabled workers, if the relationship has been in effect for at least 1 year. In addition, the lump-sum death payment can now be paid directly to the funeral director if no widow or widower of the deceased survives, and the person responsible for the payment of the burial expenses agrees to this disposition, or if no one assumes responsibility for the burial expenses within 90 days of the date of death.

Finally, under two further changes in social security disability insurance, a

gtaran 1.0 person drawing disability benefits may have a trial work period of 12 months during which he will continue to receive his monthly checks. The second change affects anyone who again becomes disabled within 5 years of the time that a previous period of disability ended.• For information on how these amendments may affect you, phone, write of call at your nearest social security dis trict office.

Are you willing to put your life In the hands of government officials whom you, had no power to choose? Are you Willing to accept all the responsibilities enumerated by the law without having the privilege of voting on the laws that goy; em you?

At 18, a citizen must acce pt responsibilities for his actions. Why is It then that they are not allowed their prIvilege to vote because the government feels that they are too inmature to ac, cept this responsibility. It seems only logical that a person who can serve our country in the armed services, who can be tried and sentenced to death in our court system, and who can be held morally responsible for every act that he commits is mature enough to Vote. The age of a citizen to vote should be lowered from 21 years old to 18 years old beI cause many 18 year olds could now vote ' more intelligently than some 21 year olds. The qualifications of a Texan to vote is based on five requirements.

Three of these qualification,s are ins. fair and they question the intelligence of the majority of Texas voters. The "citizenship of the United States requirement" is a fair and intelligent rostriction which prevents non-citizens of the United States from voting. The "registration requirement" is considered as a list to check on the name, a.dcire4S, age, length of residence, and other facts• which helps prevent some illegal voting.

These two requirements are intelligently written and should be commended.

The "Texas residence requirement* should be lowered from 1 year to 0 mon" ths, which is ample time for a new c,ttizen of Texas to study the, political cave

didates and issues . The final gap which Should be filled in our state government suffrage clause which is the almost useless poll tax requirement. The $1.50 per annum tax is no longer needed, since the original purpose was to prevent the poor from voting due to their small income.

Do you think voting qualifications that contradict other laws of the state in t neir practical use are really best for the people of Texas? If you don't, why cm you sit by and let strong-armed officials manhandle your Texas suffrage rights?

As I take the president's chair beginning January first, I will be cognizant of the many in. eblerns that have been left for me to eolue and the many new problems that will eerie up in the future . Problems of vliatever nature they may be, are relate ely simple to solve, if and when a president takes the time to look into tiOn

•

them and make some extra effort in solving them . .. First, a president must have the ability to recognize a problem, and once a problem is recognized he must carefully analyze it. After it's analyzed and he finds a solution that is clear he must immediately make a decision . .. and not wait. This I feel will bring a element of strong, aggressive leadership to any lodge . . . I will work very closely with my other officers of the lodge and especially the board of trustees who are the governing body for the lodge membership . . The officers, the board of trustees, the entertainment committee and the other various committees elected for the coming year will make every effort to bring to its membership the feeling of Humanity, the aims of Benevolence and the lave of Brothrhood. Thanks again for the faith you have put in me for the coming year as your president. My goal and motto for the coming year for lodge No. 88 will be the three A's. They are as follows: A to AWAKE; A to ADJUST and A to ADCANCE. This I am sure will bring us progress.

"These public hunts are simply held' to aid our biologists in the management program. A good healthy population on an area is maintained by keephig the herds trimmed . The most productive Way to do this trimming is by permitting the public to come on the area and harvest excess deer."

It seems, according to the secretary, that some people feel the Commission purchased these areas for the sole purpose of providing hunting for the public. "This is a wrong impression," said Dodgen. "The wildlife management research project being carried out are the only objectives of the Commission.

Harvesting excess deer on an area is just a part of the research."

Sometimes it is necessary to make some unexpected changes in a hunt in the interest of deer management, explained the secretary , "This sometimes takes place while a hunt is in progress.

Restricting hunters to bucks only or to does only, is a good example. When it becomes bucks only, or does only, hunters should remember that the restriction has been placed to maintain a healthy buck to ,do ratio."

Ve stred% dne 26. Pr(Ante 1960 WRITTEN FARM LEASE ADVISABLE At this time oe year, many landlords and tenants are thinking about farm rental arrangements for 1960. While some operate from year to year on the basis of verbal agreements regulated largely by local custome, ritten leases are better and may save disagreement and hard feelings between the parties.

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

A farm lease is not a simple paper.

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

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

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

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

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

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

For instance, if a tenant is to farm on a share basis, care should be taken to define expenses are to be paid by the parties as well as what shares are to be taken out. A lease should cover such things as who is to make repairs, what land is to be cropped, whether the tenant can cut timber, whether loss of a building by fire or other cause frees the tenant, or whether the landlord must accept a sub-tenant.

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

Many of th possibilities that should be co erect by a properly drawn lease will

Once, a traveling man was invited to eat• a meal with a family residing in a mountainous, backwoods section of our nation. As he ate he found that he was the target of the affection of a small pig that just happened to be in the house.

"Well, rnever knew pigs were so friendly," said the man.

"It ain't you the pig likes," explained the farmer. "It's just that you're eatin' out of his bowl."
