Co se tYka, na gi Jednoty ktere jsem se stal zahy elenem a ktera pfirostla mi tak k srdci, ze jsem oci sameho potatku vtdy s laskou pro ni pracoval a einim talc dosud.

Byl jsem vtdy einnYm a vtdy jsem hleciel vyhoveti kdy mne povinnost volala a nikdy jsem neodfekl svou pomoc v praci pro dobro faciu, pro dobro Jednoty. Snad jsem nezaineblcal ani jedne schtize fadove, nebot' seltaze byla pro mne povzbuzujici pobytem mezi bratry a sestrami stejneho nahledu a podnes vzpominam z laskou na tvafe talc mile.

Talc jsem ho poslechl a odstehoval jsem se do Rosenberg a opravdu jsem zhledal, ze Rosenberg ma lid i kteri maji naafi Jednotu v acte, a pomahali mne, talc ze jsem brzy tamni fad zclvojna„sobil, ale jako vAude se neco vyskytne ze zavisti, talc ze bylo nutno zalotit fad navy. Talc jsem ziskaval nova eleny pro oba tady. Tak za tfi roky pasobeni v Rosenberg bylo v 0bona. fadech 320 'lent. Ale ze moje far ma vyiaclovala, moji pfitomnost, talc jsem se stehoval zpatky do Markham.

Co jsme za lidi, my Amer iE fle?

Nate noviny a easopisy nas ob'eas zpravuji o nekterSrch socialnich a kulturnich zmenach v zapadni Evrope, z nicht se zjevne odrati vliv americkeho zpusobu tivota.

Amerioti korespondenti v Evrope domuji si vzrust v poetu takovYeh v pod-state americkYch véci, jako jsou juke boxes, hot dogs, soft drinks, televisni programy na pokraeovani, divky v kalhotech. A podle v gech nazna,kii vzmaha se podabnY zajem o takoveto veci, aspoff v mengim mekitku, i ye =oha velkom.estech asijskY-ch.

Mnozi z nas nepovatuji zvuky, vychazejici z juke box, za hudbu, a jsou jimi znechuceni, zvla gte ye chvilich, kdy tau& po kildu. Jini naopak vyhledavaji restaurace, kde tento ozatenY potomek nek dej giho gramofonu je vtdy pohotov.k. spustiti svou hluenou melodii.

Do jiste miry jsme py gni na to, te nektere z \Teel, jet jsme se nautili prijimat jako samoziejme, na gli oblibu v Evrope a v Ash. Jde ostatne 0 vYmenu dvema smery. Francouzske, britske, italské a nemecke automobily objevuji se ye vzrustajleim poetu na americkSreh silnicich. Asijske pochoutky nachazeji misto ye zmratene forme na policich obehodü s potravinami. Nell vet glho me sta, v nemt by nebylo francouzske, 1talske a dinske restaurace. Americke domaenosti kra gli moderni nabytek skandinayske vSrroby.

Vystihnouti narodni charakter a narodni zpilsob tivota je ta,kflta nemotne.lo divu, te americkS7 zpilsob tivota je easta gpatne chapan, east° i zfimyslne zkreslavan. Neltdy marne podezreni, to v predstavach mnoha cizinCu ma prfunerny. American televisor v katcle mistnosti, veetne koupelny; te jeho strava pozilstava hlavne z "hot dogs" a sodovky; te stale naslaucha "konservovane hudbe" z juke box.

Malujeme tak karikaturu, a neminime to vatne. Pies to v ga-k hledame odpaved' no, otazku: "Co jsme opravdu za lidi?"

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Resolutions become realities.

Together Let Us Strive The old year flew by so swiftly, no one In the year just past, we have gained over two million dollars worth of new insurance for the protection of our new embers secured.

While our set goals in this phase of fraternal work were not quite reached, that which was achieved, should be viewed with great satisfaction.

If we give some thought to the New Year Message our Supreme Lodge President, Brother Marek gave us in the Vestnik of the 4th of January, the progres." and the growth of our Order rests on the shoudere of each and everyone of us , The membership owes its cooperative work, willingness to work with our Organizers in securing new members and work with our Youth in continued lodge activities.

There, where we have cooperative lodge effort, even the organizational work shows a resultant increase.

We want to further strive to encourage, and inspire for lodge growth and activity, so that even, in our smaller and our neglected lodges the lodge meetings improve. Especially, should we try to get our_younger membership into lodge participation.

Today we have so many policies available with varied advantages from which to choose, which were undreamed of years back. Convince yourselves of the various policies available or ask for an e planation of them from your ladge organizers.

Perhaps we don't realize the protection phases of our policies and cannot explain them to our friends and relatives of their benevolent qualities; only when the archangle of 'death knocks at our door — then the full impact of that benevolence, the brotherhood and our Order is felt. Our Order is a part of our life, it is a way of life, and for those of us who have availed ourselves of its protection, our Order is of vital importance during our life.

Then, too, brothers and sisters, we are not building this Order only for ourselves, but for those who come after

From Your Editor This will only be a repetition of what has been written in the past or spoken on different occasions.

We have called to your attention that your Vestnik should carry more letters and reports of activities of our Lodges, Youth Clubs and from our Supreme Lodge Officers.

There is no other way by which your Editor can get news from these sources.

They must be sent in.

Of course, this is all on a voluntary basis and the Editor is thankful for every written report. Your Editor has written, from time to time, to individuals asking them to send us news from their Lodges for gublication. Some have responded for a few issues and then grew tired and then dropped the reporting.

The Editor must admit that he has received more cooperation from our sisters than from our brothers Some of your Editor's letters have never been answered.

We have some very active Lodges, from which we never hear and we presume that there is no, one to report these activities. If the Editor does hear of some activity, he will write to someone he knows to write it up, but, by the time he gets an answer the report is usually too old.

At every meeting, the Editor has pleaded with the membership to elect a regular reporter in each Lodge but there wasn't too much response.. It is preseumed that a small renumeration would help in each District to keep an active correspondent and it would help our cause along, since an active District or Lodge is an encouragement to others, while if its achievements are not reported, no one else can benefit by it.

Your Editor most earnestly requests of you that at your next Lodge Meeting you insist that a Lodge correspondent is elected. Your Vestnik can only be as newsy and informative as our combined efforts can make it.

This New Year, 1961, is just beginning.

For some reason there are high hopes for a continued progress of our SPJST during the year.

It can prove to be a very successful year if all of our members, and all of our Lodges and in our Districts stop thinking that all the progress depends upon our Supreme Lodge officers. They alone cannot do it all,. So, let's all please help them! Many Thanks! ) 4, Will you attend your next Lodge Meeting to witness the initiation of your new Lodge Officers?

What Is Your Lodge Projection For '61?

About this time of the year Americans everywhere start reflecting upon the year just past, checking the headlights in their living through the twelve months, wondering what the next twelve months will hold, and making resolutions to do, or not to do, this or that in the coming year.

The American Business world too, makes resolutions, only they call them projections, what policies the company will adopt, based on the performance of the past twelve months.

Strana, 13 a "Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 1960."

The plans and rules for our InterLodge Contests for the title of Miss SPJST to the Convention were presented to the fraternal family — our Bro. George Kacir of West, brings a Message to the Fire Insurance Gathering; the Bryan Lodge No. 39 enjoys success in its first celebration in their new Lodge Hall; our La Parita Lodge in Jourdanton announces its new officers for the year; Sister Sylvia Sralla of Lodge 107 elected Youth Director in her lodge, while Lodge 125 of Skidmore elected Sister Angeline Trlica as their Youth Director; the Dallas Lodge Jaro 130 elected Sister Hattie Sebetka as their Youth Leader and Sister Lloyd House of Lodge 161 in Jourclanton was chosen to represent and guide their Lodge Youth. Then, our New Ulm Lodge 56, on the verge of merging with another, got a shot in the arm to revive and bring up their membership by Brothers Frank Stepan and Peter Schuette, and sent the Vestriik group pictures to prove it, together with their new officers; again the brotherhood rejoiced, Youth Club Secretary of Lodge 84, Dallaig, reviews activities of their Teen-Age Club, which shows thon one of the most active Teen-Age groups in our orbit; our old neighbors in Guy, the Henry Pavliceks had a boy on December 28; Johnny Thomas is a year old today, well and hearty we trust; some of our membership is on the sick list with "flu and virus"; our Dramatic Club Hlahol in District V, promises the membership a Czech Play presentation soon; the Women's Circle of Dallas and meeting in Lodge Jaro 130 are planning their 25th Anniversary of their founding; the Cottonwood Lodge Hall No. 6 at West is in "Full Swing" in their remodeling and enlarging program.

From the youngest to the oldest American, in all sincerity tries to improve upon himself and his lot, only the motivation which prompted him to make the resolution, whether it was strong or only lukewarm, determines whether or not he will carry his resolution out to a successful conclusion.

In our SPJST Lodges, Supreme Lodge, Districts, Women's Clubs, Youth Clubs, Birthday Clubs, in fact, membership on all levels such projections are the setting of goals for the year, a mark to which all strive to achieve. All projections will be for the year, a mark to which all strive together to achieve. All projections will be for the betterment of the lot, such as a new kitshen for the Lodge Hall, a new roof, a loud speaker, larger coffee urn, picnics, parties, suppers; all of these are goals set, to be made in the coming year So before we set our sights on future herizons, let's review what we have done in these past twelve months in our SPJST Family.

First, our President, Brother Edward L. Marek, from the Supreme Lodge, urged us on in his New Year's message stating that: "Our New Year Resolution should be, to serve our sisters and brothers in a fraternal spirit and to serve our nation as good guardians of democCracy. We shall remember that the good we do to others shall remain and that it is immortal." These words are still as true tdday as they were twelve months ago. Remember the Blairs from way up there in Montana, who remembered us here in Texas, wonder how they are our lodges began to send in Suggested Changes in our By Laws to the By Laws Committee for perusual before our June Convention in San Antonio; our Vestnik goes into its 48th year of Publication; District Three Organizer, Bro.

You can see, dear readers, the highlights of our activities of the past twelve months were many. We were a busy and a happy fraternal family. We had our sad moments, too, for we lost many wonderful members, whose activities in the lodges will be missed, and we shall hold their memories dear in our hearts, for after all that is said and done, only the memory remains after we mortals pass on, and if we were liked and were of some benefit to mankind, that memory will remain with your fellowmen.

So, as we close the book on the last 13 months and ring in the new year, with a fresh page under its cover, let's make those resolutions for the betterment and the growth of our individual lodges. Let's work with our Youth in closer participation to reach our set goals . Let's set those goals high — we can do it working together in harmonious effort.

Important Notice For the benefit of Those who do not know: as a mutual fraternal order, our Financial Secretaries ordinarily do not mail out "statements" of pre, niums due.

In those lodges where they do not mail statements to members it 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.

A Life Insurance Check List Since most families in tne United States own life insurance today, here is a check list, suggested by the Institute of Life Insurance to help your family make the best use of life insurance: 1. Be certain your beneficiaries are up to date. You bought your policies for the benefit of certain persons, and to meet specific needs. In time the original circumstances may change, and you may want to reconfirm or reconsider your earlier decisions.

2. Save on premium payments. if you are mailing premium payments to the life insurance company on a monthly basis, you can save five to six per cent by making a single payment once a year.

For example, on a $10,000 whole life policy that saving might be enough for you to add another $500 of the same type of insurance. If your pretaiums are paid on a quarterly basis the saving is about four per cent.

3. Consider adding a common disaster clause, This specifies how the insurance company Is to pay proceeds if both husband and wife lose their lives in the same accident. Without this clause, the insurance may not be paid as the policyholder would have wished, because there may be a question of which partner survived longer. This situation could involve delay in payment to the contingent beneficiary.

4. Know the choices you have for using dividends. Some policyholders apuly dividends to premiums; others take the dividends in cash. Dividends may also be used to buy additional units of paid-up insurance, thereby adding to over-all family protection.

This requirement includes not only aliens who are permanent residents, but non-immigrants temporarily here as well — foreign students, visitors, seamen, and treaty traders, to name a few.

Aliens who are temporarily absent from the United States during January must report their address within 10 days after their return.

The report, which is made on the Annual Address Report Card (Form I-53), can be obtained through any U.S . Post Office or U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Office. When the card is filled out, it should be handed to a postal clerk or immigration office employee. It should not be mailed.

The law applies equally to alien children, but if they are under 14 years of age their parents or legal guardians should submit the address report for them. Should an alien be confined to a penal or mental institution, his legal guardian is required to make the report. ' An alien will° is ill may send a friend or relative to obtain the address report, and then have the filled-out card re-1 turned to the issuing clerk.

The only exceptions to the address re- I port requirement are non-citizens in diplomatic service, foreign representatives to the United Nations, and persons temporarily admitted to the United States as agricultural laborers. ♦ 4, ♦ (_

ELK LODGE NO. 35 Mart, Texas Dear Fraternal Members and Friends: I'm sure everyone has relaxed by now and proceeding with their usual routine of everyday living after the holidays.

Resolutions were made, with the best intentions of keeping them, I'm sure.

At our lodge dance on New Year's

VEST IT — WEST, =CA Eve approximately 450 people cheered the old year out and the new year in. At exactly 12:00 midnight bells were ring ing, horns were blowing and everyone, young and old alike, were shouting cheers of prosperity.

We had friends visiting our dance from South Dakota. They were in-laws of the Edwin Holub family. Too, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Banik Jr., celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary. We wish this nice couple many more years of happiness together.

I, as reporter of Lodge 35, would like to remind everyone as members of our lodge to start the new year off right by attending all of our lodge meetings and its activities if at all possible. Visitors, of course, are always welcome. As you all know in the past year we have been honored with confidence by our good brothers and sisters Who have visited our lodge from neighboring lodges.

We want and shall have continued "togetherness" in our lodge for future growth and unity of which we are and will be proud.

I will close for now, wishing all goad health and prosperity during the New Year 1961 from our lodge to all lodges and to the SPJST Order of the State of Texas.

God Bless You one and all.

Fraternally yours, Norma Pavelka Reporter Editor's Note: Many thanks for your first report from Lodge 35. Here is hoping that you will keep your reports coming in regularly. We add a picture of some of your members taken at your Christmas party. They are from left to right: Bobby Ehlers, Verleene Frazier, Joe Parker Jr., Nancy Frazier and Daniel Beralek At the nekt table is Mr. and

Mrs. Frazier was the painist for your Christmas Party Program. ) SOKOL FORT WORTH Dear Vestnik Readers, The year of 1960 has passed and when we review the activities of 1960, we cannot but recall the many occasions where friendship has been extended to both the young and the old. The highlight of these many occasions was the District Slet in July at Sokol Zizka in Dallas.

You were a great host and hostess, Sokol Dallas. There are many that do not participate in gymnastics ,but strive to promote the ideals of Sokol by trying to meet the needs of the people, and to recognize the right of each individual.

You will have to agree with me, that Mr. Hosek and his gracious wife are two of these people. Their presence always helps highlight the occasion. While writing this I also think of the many other Sokol promoters in Ennis, Hausvm, Corpus Christi, Dallas and Fort Worth. Many of our "old timers" have passed away but their good deeds are living memories; and there are many living "old timers" who helped immeasurably, but who only come to special, events and occasions.

Fort Worth's building program has been the outstanding project of 1960.

We added a 30 x 60 foot addition, modernized our kitchen, bar, floor, restrooms, stage curtains and draperies, and added a modern entrance to the hall.

Of this wer are proud, and we want others to share the benefits by attending our functions and joining our Sokol.

Mark your calendar for the follow ing functions: Saturday, Jlanuary 14, 1961 — Dance Ed Faraizl Orchestra

Strana 20 Saturday, February 4, 1961 — Dance — Eric Honza Orchestra Our "keepers of the stock", Mr. and Mrs. Grover Watson are retiring from active duty this year, and we wish to thank him for his loyal service. Joe Milan„ Jr., devoted a lot of time to get our lodge in shape, and his father certainly doesn't stay in the background when there is wark to be done.

President Eisenhower and Presidentelect Kennedy have given 'Duch consideration to physical fitness of our youth and adults. The Sokol feels that they can best serve the nation by encourag7 ing its members and families to keep themselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially and physically fit.

If any one is interested in joining our Sokol classes, contact Jerry Milan.

The dance committee did a swell job in planning for the New Year's dance, which was a great success. we are looking forward to a successful year with the best of cooperation Isom all our members.

Our President, Bro, Sid Pokladnik, asked that each one of us cooperate to the fullest extent where lodge matters are concerned. e Should there be any difficulties, these should be discussed and settled within the lodge at the meeting. In this manner, any problem. can thus be better settled to the satisfaction of all.

WACO LODGE NO. 66 Dear Brother Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful publicity you gave our Youth Club of Lodge 66 in the Vestnik on our trip to the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, Texas. It was a trip I shall long remember. I still have a wonderful feeling when L think of all the joy we brought to.these "Old Folks." It would be my pleasure in the coming years if more Youth Cluhs would take it upon themselves to set aside one month out of the year and work on some project with the proceeds going to the Rest Home. Be it Christmas time or any other time of the year, a visit from the Youth of SPJST is a gift in itself for the residents at the Rest Home.

Again I would like to thank you for all you have done for us in the past year. May I wish you and your very lovely wife a "Happy New Year."

The Future of College Education Ten years from now, some authorities say, there will be twice as many young people seeking to enter American colleges and universities as there are today. They point out that college enrolltrients have increased 250 per cent since the outbreak of World War II We could well have a doubling of the college enrollment within the next ten years.

This prediction has caused a great deal of concern to a large group of the; Ameriean people — to the college and universities, to educators and, of course to parents whose children will reach college age at about this time. Can our institutions of higher education accommodate such an increase?

Vt'STNIK—WEST, TEXAS Other experts are not so pessimistic about the cost factor. They say that from 1960 to 1970 it is estimated our national income will go from around $500 billion to $750 or $790 billion. They are confident that part of the expansion of $6 to $9 billion needed to finance the increased number of students will come from the federal government out of increased federal income tax receipts.

There may be no final answer available to the question of whether our colleges and universities can accommodate the sharp growth in students seeking a college education during the next ten years. But the mere fact that the question is being asked more and more often weights in favor of an early answer, and an eventual solution to the problem.

Language Resources of American Ethnic Groups Studied

According to Dr. Fishman, the study "is an important opportunity for American ethnic groups to bring their linguistic and cultural heritages to the attention of the country." At the same time, Dr. Fishman said, "the study is an opportunity to clarify ways and means for the more effective preservation and perpetuation of these heritages, as well as an opportunity for nationality organizations and their members to become actively engaged in a project that has great meaning for themselves and their country."

Obtaining accurate and detailed information on the large variety of topics that need to be studied, the project director emphasized, will require the good will and' active cooperation of ethnic group leaders and organizations, both national and local, all over the country.

Dr. Fishman said that he would like to hear from all those interested in his study, particularly nationality organizations which provide language instruction, and parents "who have exerted themselves to have their children learn their mother tongue. I hope to learn about the success and failures of as many of these organizations and individuals as possible," he added. "Their experiences will be of great value to many others in the years ahead."

Wednesday, January 11, 1951 AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR NATIONALITIES SERVICE New York, N.Y. Dear Editor, The American Council for Nationalities Service, its Board and staff send our readers their best wishes for the New Year and their grateful appreciation for support of its work.

Speaking last fall before the United Nations General Assembly, President Eisenhower cited our American experience as a goal for peoples everywhere: "Here in this land, in what was once a wilderness, we have generated a society and a civilization drawn from many sources. Yet out of the mixture of many peoples and faiths we have developed unity in freedom. This concept, drawn from the diversity of many racial strains and cultures, we would like to see made a reality for all mankind."

And twenty years ago, another President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, expressed a similar idea in his third inaugural: "A nation, like a person, has something deeper, something more permanent, something larger than the sum of its parts. It is that something which matters most to its future, which calls forth the most sacred guarding of its present. It is a thing for which we find it difficult — even impossible — to hit upon a single, simple word. And yet we all understand what it is — the spirit, the faith of America. It is the product of centuries. It was born in the multitudes of those who came from many lands — some of high degree, but mostly plain people — who sought here, early and late, to find freedom more freely."

These two statements suggest the larger meaning of the Council's work, and the importance of the task you are helping us to carry forward.

Our thanks and best wishes.

Sincerely yours, Read Lewis and William S. Bernard ) • 4• • (

Introduction of Foreign Languages The pressures are on in every segrnent of the school curriculum, and one of the strongest is the push to introduce foreign languages into the early grades.

Does it make sense?

If language classes haven't started at your elementary school, should you suggest them?

FLES — short for Foreign Languages in Elementary Schools, for the entire movement, was set in motion about eight years ago, and now at least 2,000 elementary schools offer languages to some 700,000 kids.

Here are the answers to the many questions that arise as this program continues to expand across the country.

Why the emphasis on foreign languages? Several reasons. Americans are at a disadvantage in foreign relations because they don't speak other languages and so can't make personal friends easily. Forty per cent of the U.S. Foreign Service can't converse adequately in another tongue. By contrast, representatives of other nations (including the Soviet Union) usually speak the language of the land they are sent to.

Early study of a foreign language increases a student's knowledge of his own, too. It gives !him insight into the relationships between this country and the language, literature and history of other countries.

When should children start? Some say kindergarten, but most agree that the third grade seems best. By then the child is adept in his own language and not likely to become confused. Besides, children remember better in the third grade than earlier. At that age they learn fast and easily. Children are especially good at mimicry, delight in new sounds and have good auditory memory. They learn a foreign language the way they have learned their native tongue, by imitating and repeating. In a brief time they can say simple things with the accent and infiction of a native — provided, of course, that the teacher speaks well.

Contrast this with the old method Of learning painstakingly to read and write a language, without even having the satisfaction of speaking it or understanding it when spoken.

Does the language stick? It depends a lot on 'how good the teacher is and whether the children continue. Some classes are too large or too loosely run, and some children just aren't ready or interested enough to learn.

Strana 25 There are other arguments against early learning, too. Some experts point out that adults who want to learn a language can do so by using the same imitation methods. These were used successfully by the Army during the' war.

Moreover, adults have greater motivation than children.

Nevertheless, evidence mounts that children Who start early learn better.

They acquire a feeling of the language and a willingness to use it, whereas adults are inhibited about plunging in.

By the sixth grade a child grey be able to use some 2,000 words in simple conversation. An early start seems 'to provide a motive to go on.

Frome the University of Chicago: "These students speak and understand French better (and probably always will) than students who have begun in high school.

From the San Diego school system, "students who have had elementary school conversational Spanish tend to achieve better grades in secondary languages than those who have not."

What if a child doesn't go on with the language? Has he wasted his time? Possibly. You can't learn a language unless you take it for several years. The best course, say experts, is for a child to take a language all the way from the third grade to the twelfth grade. If ho doesn't, he may lose it.

Should all elementary school students learn a foreign language? Yes, say some experts, all should have a crack at it just as they do at other subjects.

No. say others, only the top groups.

By the fifth or sixth grade they can use simple texts, and by the seventh and eighth they are at the usual high school level. Even then, 'however, they should continue to speak and hear as much of the language as possible.

How long should elementary classes be? Preferably 15 to 20 minutes daily within the school curriculum up to grade five. After that three times a week for longer periods is okay.

Where do you get good teachers? That is the key. Under the U.S. Office of Education program, many colleges are running summer institutes for language teachers. School systems can send teachers to these institutes and can seek new teachers by canvassing nearby colleges.

No program at all is better than one that is not expertly taught. Regular classroom teachers seldom have enough experience. Most exhaust their supply of whatever language they have very quickly. The new methods require fluency and authentic accents.

But a federal court overruled the post office after the judge looked at the novel's whole treatment and theme. The court found the post office had been unfair in calling certain passages obscene in view of the book's whole picture of life.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: KEEP RECORDS! Back in pioneer times our forefathers found they could keep track of the family history pretty well with a few notations on the flyleaf of the family Bible. But life's not quite that simple any more. Great-grandpa wasn't covered by social security or workmen's compensation. He didn't have a bank account or safe deposit box, a car and a dozen home appliances being bought on time payment, or a half-dozen insurance policies. We have taxes great-grandpa never heard of and wouldn't have believed if he had And had you asked him far a certificate to prove his birth, he'd have thought you'd taken leave of your senses.

The point of this is that the average American today has a good many important papers to keep track of There are birth certificates; receipts, copies of tax returns, sales contracts, and a host ef other paper& With a little tidy record keeping, you can make life easier for yourself and your family when you are gone.

So, why not make a New Year's resolution to follow these suggestions: I, Get a heavily bound notebook folder or file folder as a central collecting point per all the record,s of your affairs.

A. Put your eepecially important papers./11 your safe deposit box, but make a list of those papers and a brief summary of their contents to put in your home file 3. Get for your files copies of birth certificates for all members of the family, and add them to the file. Add your marriage license or at least a statement as to where and when you were married and by whom.

4. Insert your will or a copy of it.

If your will is kept elsewhere, include a note telling where it may be found.

6. During the year put into the file your income tax Withholding statements 'end reodrits for expenditures which may be deductible. Then keep a copy of each year's tax return in the file.

VIVEITNtIt— MOM 6. Make a list of all the stocks and bonds you own and where they are.

7. List all the places you have lived and worked and the names of persons there who you know. Include the school's you have attended and the dates you left or were graduated.

8. If you may have benefits coming under a profit-sharing plan where you work, make a note of that too.

9. If you are in doubt about whether an item should be included, put it in.

For millions of people abroad, the American Presidency has Seemed a bulwark of democracy and the defense of freedom. Naturally, they want to know as much about the office of the Presidency as we Americans can teal them. To one question especially they want an answer: How under our system of government, American Presidents, with their enormous powers, have remained both the leaders and the servants of the people?

In our letters to friends and relatives in the remaining weeks before election day, we will probably be telling them whom we are voting for and if we think our candidate will win. Why not tell them also about the responsibilities of this highest political office and about the safeguards in the Constitution that have kept intact the rights and liberties of the people.

Under the Constitution — we might point out to them. — the Presidential office is one of the three main branches of government. The other two are the Congress and the Courts. Each branch, though acting independently, is subject to the acts Of the other, a system often referred to as "checks and balances."

This insures that no man nor any minority, no matter how powerful, can assume dictatorial powers.

To illustrate, the President, though he has the power to make treaties with foreign governments, cannot do so without the advice and consent of the United States Senate. Similarly, though the President is authorized to plan

IMMIX% N legislation for the country, that legislation cannot become law until approved

by Congress.

The burdens of the Presidency are heavy. Few men leave the White House in as good health as when they entered it. Seven Presidents have died in office.

And the responsibilities and duties of the office have grown through the years.

As head of the Executive Branch of the Government, the President is responsible, through subordinate agencies, for enforcement of the laws. He is commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He must keep constantly informed on na tional and international affairs.

His duties as Chief Executive require him to direct the activities of thousands of federal employees, and handle with his White House staff a vast amount at everyday administrative detail. In addition, in. these times, he must map legislative programs designed to strengthen the defense of the free world. And he must speak on nationwide radio and television networks to explain to the American people the need for certain legislative programs, such as economic and military aid to other countries.

Underlying all these Presidential activities, is one fundamental question: "What will do the most good for the most people?" When the President-elect takes the oath to "faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States," he realizes fully that he is stepping into the job to act for the good of all the people, not for any one segment of the population. ) 4 Husband: "Why did you buy a new dress when you promised you wouldn't?"

Strana 28 MEDICAL CARE FOR AGED FACES DELAY IN TEXAS The ► riedical care program. for the needy aged passed by Congress can have no effect in Texas before late 1961, at the earliest But it would take a junior-grade legislative miracle to bet it in effect that soon.

It will require a constitutional amendment in Texas before the, welfare program can be extended to need persons who are not receiving welfare aid from the state at presentWhen and if the program' is put into effect in Texas, it will lessen to some extent the welfare expenditures of the cities and counties on a number of the 700,000 persons over 65 in Texas. It is anyone's guess how many of them, now getting charity medicine in various hospitals across the state, will qualify under the yet-to-be standards of the Texas law which may come some day.

Judging from past performance in Texas, it will be long past 1961 before the new program will have any meaning in Texas.

In 1955, Congress authorized a medical - payorent program for the needy aged, blind, disabled and dependent children. So far 46 states have this program in effect. Texas is one of the four which does not.

The Texas Legislature took up the program in 1957 and submitted' it to a vote, of the people in November, 1958. It carried overwhelmingly, but the Legislature in 1959 failed to appropriate the $9 to -10 million a year needed to put it into effect.

The main difference between this program and the one just enacted by Congress is that the new program expands the old one and in addition allows medical and hospital payments for persons over 65 who are needy, but not needy enough to be on old-age assistance rolls.

It is this phase of the program which welfare officials are certain would have to be submitted to the voters of Texas.

Constitutional amendments cannot be submitted to the voters except by regular sessions of the Legislature, and the next one will be in 1961. Generally, constitutional amendments are submitted at the regular even-lear elections, in this case, 1962.

And generally, as in the case of the medical program voted in 1958, appropriations to provide the state's share of the money are not made until after it has been voted.

But if the Legislgature gets in a hurry-up mood, it could call a special election on the medical care program in mid-1961, and appropriate the money in advance. In such a case, the program could be put into effect late in 1961.

VESTNtK

ST, TEXAS

State Welfare, Dept. officials point out that 223,000 of the 700,00 persons over 65 are already qualified for the medical care program authorized by the voters, but not financed by the Legislature. How many of the additional 577,000 will be eligible depends on the rules for eligibility laid down by the Legislature when it authorizes the program.

The requirement for state action, and state rnatellaing of funds, was one of the big quarrels in Congress. Sen. John Kennedy wanted the medical care program made a part of the social security systeiri, with federal payroll taxes and employee contributions used to finance it.

Vice President Nixon favored the welfare approach which was finally adopted, with the states adopting their own programs to obtain federal grants making it wholly a tax-welfare program The welfare vs. social security approaches will be debated on the next session of Congress on many issues. ) SHOULD I FILE AN ALIEN ADDRESS NOW, AFTER NOT HAVING DONE SO PREVIOUSLY Question: I have been in the United States for Several years and have never sent in any address report because I did not know about it. I now realize I should have sent in one, but am worried that something may happen to me if I do?

Answer: Is it true that each failure to report is a separate offense for which an alien may be deported, unless his failure was not willful and was reasonably excusable. The fact that you did riot know about your obligation will un-

Ve stfedu, due IL ledhe 1961 'cloubtedly be accepted as sufficient excuse. It is important that you make a report in January . You can get your report card at the nearest post office.

Now that you are aware of your obligation, failure to report could be interpreted as willful. ) • ••• • Nobody gets too old for growing pains — especially, during the gardening season.
