itzr pominky z dètstvii Vt ST NIX — WEST, TEXAS

(Ptemena jmen je tmyslna.)

Rodne hnizdo Nag' stars, barak (Cislo 15) byl postayen pod mirnYm svahem, takde skoro ce la jeho zadni boeni zed' byla opkena hlinenou stenu. Byla v nem jedina abytna svetnice, male sirika, chlev, stodftka a menk chlearky pro busy a pro Cunika.

Ze snaky se vehadelo nejen do svetnice, ale i do chleva a tak jsem east() slySel ad lidi posinekie pozn'amky, de mama spoleenk vchod s kravami. Za barakern byla maid ale fitulna zahradka.

V te jedine svetnici se vakilo, spalo a provadelo obuvnicke temeslo. Spalo v ni - aste jeSte poBest ëienii rodiny flak a C cestnY, nad kterYm se otec ustrnul, kdyd v cele vsi nemohl sehnat noclehu. MnohY z tech noclehatt um& pekne vypravovat a tak jsem jid od ttleho detstyi slYchaval povidat o vSelijakYch lidskYch osudech, ye kterYch bohudel bylo malokdy co veseleho.

Obytna svetnice byla jedina yystavena z kamene a vSe ostatni bylo drevene.

Snad, kdysi bYval celY barak ze dteva a nekterY z bYvalYch majetnikil mel prostkedky jen k ptestaveni svetnice. Aekoliv byl bar& nizonekY, takde dospelY Clo vek snadno mohl dosahnouti stropu, by ly kamenne zdi skoro metr silne. V lete laYval proto ye svetnici mil' chladek, ale v zime se kamenne zdi tak potily, de se sten tekly nekdy cele potteky vody. Od toho se nam kazil na g chudY nabytek, obrazky na stenach a Satstvo v almake, ale pro mne to bYvalo zdrojem mnohYch zabay.

Chodival jsem pa posteli a prstem jsem svadel jeden malinkY potteek do druhello ,ad splynuly dole u zeme v jeden proud. Podlaha se nam ad vlhka nikdy nekazila, protoCe jsme men ye svetnici jen udusanou maznou hlinu, jaka bYva, ye stodolach na mlatech, a misto sukt z ni nekde vyeniy aly drobne kamenky. — Proto jsem snadno mohl ye zylhle hline starou ldici udelati male strudky, kterYmi jsem vodu se sten tradCl do maleho rybniCku. Tim rybniekem ye y etnici jsem se potom rad chlubival pied ostatnimi klouek3r, a kdyd jsem si k nam nekdy pozval nektereho synka ze selskeho statku, Z mandelskeho raje Oh ty, mi nepfejeS ani tu nejrnonAi aby tome uvekil, tu jsem na nich Caste zabavu! Tak! Vddyt' si byla v nedeli no, vidival, jak mi to zavidi a jak se pakoncerte, v pondeli na plese, yeeer v di torn inrzute loudaji ke sqm v3"rstavnS7m a such'm dornavilm.

Valle — "Ano, ale s tebou -" ) Kdyd me potteky omrzely, hraval jsem Divadelni pCedstaveni v sini kadu 88 si s kopyty a s botkami. Jak jsem Houston due 26. tinora "Za, potokem, — fekl, byl mCj otec obuvnik a v naSi suet na Kroudek "Hlahol" za tuto nici se stale yalelo pino dkevenYch kodobrott snahu zasiouil si nak v'Sestran- pyt a obuvi, pkinesene do spravky. To byly rnoje prvni hraeky. Par botek, zane podpory. —

Ve stfedu, due 8. tnou,-1961., praZem-r za Snerovadla do zouviiku, mi fmlne nahradil dkevene i dive koniky a s tim poclivriSTra spreZenim jsem jezdil celou svetnici. Ale radeji jsem zaptahayal do zouvaku kopyta, pro Lode mi v ske fantasii pkipadala divotnejdi nedli botky nebo stkevice. A to proto, de se east() pki nav gtevach strS7crt mluvilo 0 nagich kopytech jako a vecech, ktere pki rOznYch prileditostech odivnou a potom jsou pr Y lidem, ktere nezna,ji, mnohem nebezpeenejk nedli vosy nebo srSno. Pantata Mlejnek kikaval, de kopyta jsou nejhork, kdyd se roji nebo kdyd jsou rozdraddena, a v ten Cas de je nejlepe se jim vyhnout na hodinu cesty. A vtidy jsem s yelkYm uspokojenim slYchayal, de zdivoeela kopyta mute ukroutit jen star, zkuSenY mistr SeveovskY, ktereho kopyta dobke znaji jako sveho oSetkovatele, hospodake a dobrodince. A to byl nag tatineek.

Proto jsem s kopyty zapkadenymi do zouvaku vddy zachazel Setrne, nikdy jsem je netloukl a spiSe vlidnou domlu you jsem je hledel pohnout k pohybu.

Byl jsem tedy s nakmi kopytv yddy ptatelskem pomeru, a pfece me rodiee Caste varovali, abych k nim pod kamna, nelezl nikdy v nedeli. To pr Y prate, de i kopyta chteji mit svilj nedelni, klid; ale mne to rikali rodiee proto, abych si neu'Spinil nedelni 'saty.

Pokud se pamatuji, mel jsem jako ma le deck° tuze male opravdo yYch hraeek: dkeveneho konika, malou plechoyou lokomotivu a pestreho clkeveneho ptaelta, kterY mel v ocase piStlieku. Ale me to nijak netrapilo. Jake kadde dite, tak i jd jsem yid& v mnohem pkedmetu dive z yike nebo i elo yeka a podia toho jsem s takovou veci zacha,zel: Dkevenemu kopytu jsem pkedklaclal k jidlu travu nebo brambory jako odmenu, de muselo tahat zouvak s nakladem polinek nebo jinYch feel. Ale obratem byli ze zouvaku zase krava nebo kiln a zapkahal jsem je do kopyta, do krabice, nebo do pkeyracene stolieky. Se zouvakern bYvalo -Oak nekdy tefte pokideni: nechtel tahat, plaSil se a kopal a svymi dverna vYenelky trkal do vSeho, co se mu pkipletlo do ,cesty.

Take kopyta nekdy zlobila, nechtela tahat nebo se plaSila, ale vetknou dedobrotu. Ale na nak pude, nebo jak se u nas kikalo "na bitte", ledelo v tmaxem koute ohromne kopyto z ktere ha jsem mei opravdu strach. Jak jsem se pozdeji dozyedel, dal si je otec uclelat pro jakesi rnasopustni pkedstayeni. a potom je na ptidu ulodil pro "strYeka Pkihodu".

Tech par sugenYch Avestek ye ru ani nestalo za ten strach, a kdy2 ma minka zjistila, 2e se ji ye gpairne (pod louhle truhle na zasoby vativa) avestky nejak podeztele zasychaji, uvazala jednoduge ono zle kopyto k noze gpi2irny a ja, jsem hned nechal avestky na pokoii. tim Vgak jsem byl star gi, tim mengi jsem mel strach z pantaty-kopyta. Pomalu jsem, k nerno chadil bli2 a bli2e, jednou jsem si dodal tolik odvahy, jsem ho i pohladil. Potom jsem si vedle neho lehl a zanedlouho, kdy2 u2 jsem si myslel, 2e me kopyto jigdoe zna, ody6,211 jsem se blizko neho krast avestky.

Vylezl jsem si na vysoky pytel s moukou a tamodtud jsem jii snadno dosdhl na prkno, kde le2ela misa se sugenYmi gvestkami. Ale hrabl jsem tam jen jednou a uz jsem citil, jak se pytel pode mnou hrouti a ja padam dolt), na slamu vedle gpi2irny, a potorn u2 to glo jako s dervivSrm jablkem.

Ale ja jsem u2 dale na nejake dal gi ogetteni neeekal, ale vy razil jsem ze svetnice jako jelen — pices dvorek a dal pies celou idolej gi naves a nezastavil jsem se tehdy a2 v druhe vesnici!

FROM THE Life Insurance Renders Service The institution of Life Insurance has become one of the mightiest forces of modern civilization.

By teaching thrift to individuals it buttresses the strength of the nation.

By making provision for widows, orphans and aged people it relieves the state of heavy burdens.

It offers the safest and best method of guarding the savings of the people . It increases these savings, and returns them to their owners when the money will be needed most, and when it will have its maximum value.

It removes anxiety, solves perplexities, brings comfort into the home, and safeguards the interests of business men.

And it does more than this. Consider the service rendered by any representative company; the small contributions of multitudes of policyholders provide a great investment fund for each company. This fund is utilized in helping to develop the enterprises of the nation.

Thus it gives aid to the farmer, and the man who wishes to own his own home.

It supplies funds for the erection of public buildings, hospitals, schoolhouses, water works, filtration plants, and many other important utilities.

And all this is done without impairing in any degree its efficiency and promptness in carrying out its two main purposes: (1) providing for the future of the family, and (2) protecting business interests.

Life insurance is not a luxury . It is a necessity. And the need for it is constant. As soon as its value is recognized it is eagerly desired. Consequently, there is no dull season for those whose business it is to offer it to the public. ) • 4, • ( Diner: "Waiter, I ordered chicken pie, and there isn't a piece of chicken in it."

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

The Value of Our Dollar Our incoming President Kennedy inherits the big monetary problem. The recent incipient run on the dollar was a serious warning for the U.S. We arc now the needy nation, a direct result of the hand-out era. Kennedy can not evade the fact that recent withdrawals of gold resulted from adverse reactions to the Democratic platform and his own early statements.

The U. S. has given away many billions to restore the economy of the war depleted nations. Those countries have become wealthy and have a big reserve in gold dollars and foreign exchange.

The U.S. is carrying the biggest share of defense burdens which protect foreign countries. Many billions have gone abroad in other forms of aid — economic and measures to offset communism.— More dollars have flown out of the country than have come in When FDR, took us off the gold standard, our dollar was no longer worth solid gold. But foreigners doing business with us were promised gold for their

American money. Now if all those countries should demand gold, we would be wiped out. The U. S. has not enough gold in Ft. Knox or elsewhere to redeem the dollars. Clearly, it is time to correct this menacing situation.

President Eisenhower made two moves in this direction Secty. Anderson's trip to Germany served notice on foreign nations that they must assume their share of the defense burdens. Gem any refused to do this, but did agree to begin repayment of the aid loans. Eisenhower ordered the return of dependents of the military forces abroad. The Army contends that the expense of hauling them home outweighs the gain. Also it deplores the effect on the morale of the military forces.

However, the fact that steps are being taken is doing much to restore confidence in the dollar. All the western countries want it to remain stable, for their economy is based on the American dollar. President Kennedy says that he will not devalue the U.S dollar, and shows every evidence of getting tough with the foreign countries, insisting that they pick up their part of the burdens.

The consensus is that the dollar is not in danger, but care must be taken now that it does not fall into a precarious state.

A strong, vigorous policy to restore a good balance of exports and imports, an equal share of defense, favorable tariff regulations, and a curtailment of foreign aid handouts, will help solve the difficulty.

This we must do — or fulfill the Communist prediction of spending ourselves into ruin, and falling into their hands without a shot being fired.

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

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

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

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

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

It took time for Lincoln to grow into his office, but once he had done so he stood revealed as one of the giants of history — a great man who was also a living demonstration of the opportunity that a, nation "dedicated to the propo-

sition that all men are created equal" offers to its most humbly born citizens.

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

After stressing the fact that victory in the conflict would perpetuate this "great and free government," with its "equal privileges for all in the race of life," he said to the battle-scarred soldiers: "I beg you to remember this, not merely for my sake, but for yours, I happen, temporarily, to occupy the White House. I am a living witness that any of your children may look to come here as my lather's child has."

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

When Lincoln irede his second Inaugural Address, on March 4, 1965, victory for the Union cause was nearly at hand. He used the occasion to express his hope for a humane rebuilding of a nation almost shattered by the prolonged and terrible Civil War . "With malice toward none, with charity for all," he said' toward the close of his address, "with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds . . " Before Lincoln could translate into action the policy of reconciliation with the South his words foreshadowed, he was struck down by an assassin's bullet.

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

Our ri neers The lives of the pioneers that immigrated into this country to build a new world, to escape tyranny of any form, were hide, like our own, of hopes and fears, hungers and despairs, petty schemes and difficult endeavors and most of them had a fierce pride in their ancestry /. To understand the age in which these pioneers worked, loved and lived, is a rewarding experience. Records are abundant, affording much that is fresh, accurate and new, and take only a little patience to find . When you read about the early history of our SPJST founded in 1897 in La Grange, Texas, you will be proud to belong. You will go back almost a hundred years to the time when many frontier towns dotted the plains, each on a part of the brave, hard stories of the valient who attacked the wilderness of a new world with bare hands but courageous hearts that knew no turning back. You will read about the covered wagons, the taming of a harsh country, fighting Indians, making a city out of a camp. True, those were different days in comparison with ours, but their rough way of life gave them a certain quality, a habit of mind and various customs which differ, but which we understand, and by understanding we have that conviction that they were desperately human, like you and I, only their lives were against the canvas of a different age. )• •( The trouble with going in debt, which is easy, is that one never knows haw hard it will be, in the future, to come out again. —.) 4, it, e ( "Oh, Walter," she said.

They both agreed that the course was successful and that they learned a lot of practical things in this seminar.

Taxpayers are urged to file their returns for 1960 with their IRS District Director as soon after January 1, 1961 as possible. The filing deadline is April 17. but if you wait until the last minute it will be more difficult to get technical help. Also, last minute filers make more costly errors in their returns.

Checks or money orders for any tax due should be clipped, not stapled, to the return and should be made payable to "Internal Revenue Service." ) • 4,

Must I File An Income Tax Return?

Do you have to file an income tax return for 1960? Well to sum it up — most people with $600 or more of gross income for 1960 must file a return with Uncle Sam. Every citizen or resident of the U.S.A — whether adult or minor — who had $600 or ra-kore gross income in 1960 must file. If 65 or over, $1,200 or more. However, if you're self-employed, you file a return if your Self - employment incom was $400 or more, even though your gross income was less than $600.

A person with income of less than these amounts should file a 1960 return to get a refund if tax was withheld — married person with income less than her (his) own personal exemptions, should usually file a joint return with husband or wife to get the smaller tax or larger refund for the couple.

An exception might be when the married person is a dependent of someone else . An example being a married college student who is a bona-fide dependent of

It Is or Our Rest Home In Taylor, Texas

Who Will Be Next to Take Up the Torch? in the year 1959, Lodge Praha No. 29 of Taylor, Texas, lent their Lodge for a Texas-wide SPJST Rest Home Bazaar.

Sister Ruby Holy, living in San Antonio, but who bolongs to Lodge Praha, (we stand to be corrected on this) took it upon herself to supervise it. Now, Sistre Holy as most of you know, is an unpretentious "maminka" with a heart of gold. If she has any, special talents, she never talks about them, but she did have the fortitude to step forward and say "I will undertake to have this Bazaar." Naturally she didn't do it alone, no one could, but she had many generous souls helping her, but it always takes that FIRST STEP to get anything rolling along from a stationary position. Lodge Praha 29, extended its hand, the Hugo Scliefcaks of Dallas extended theirs; there were many, many more behind the scenes blessed souls who worked and worked hard. Folks and neighbors from San Antonio stood behind their townswoman and before you knew it, others joined, and the rolling ball became an avalanche. The good Czech heart in our brotherhood again manifested itself!

Last year our thoughts were full of our coming Convention in June and the nany pre-Convention committee meetings, lodge delegates deliberations etc., had their hands full preparing for and keeping up with events during the Contention. It's a giagantic enterprise and one still marvels at the smoothness and lispatch with which the Convention ful'illed its purpose.

Now the New Year, 1961, is upon us and our Rest Home is pushing for the erection of an Infirmary wing, modest, but sufficient to house those of the Rest Tome guests who become infirmed while in residence at the Home. Heretofore, they had to be shuttled off back to their kin or hospitals, which is not fair to the human dignity of man.

A joint effort to see the project to a successful conclusion. There is no doubt that once it is started that it will be • a success, for anything our membership undertakes always meets with success for they put their all into it. That is what it takes!

Dear members, in your next Lodge `fleeting, won't you give this some discussion. Now is the time to plan it so that the next three or four months folks will have ample time to send in their Bazaar contributions! It would be a wonderful thing if this Bazaar became an Annual affair for the Rest Home benefit, for there is still a good amount of indebtedness to be paid off.

Like the Hare and the Tortose in the story, this debt will be nibbled down Another Bazaar would assure the Home eventually but an annual Bazaar would of hospital beds, oxygen equipment or be like a shot in the arm to hurry this other such necessities for such an in- debt liquidation along. firmary.

Almost 13,01110 elderly Texans presently reside in care homes which have passed State Department of Health scrutiny and are licensed under provisions of the home licensure law administered by the health agency.

Despite the fact that Texas was one of the most recent states to spell out regulations aimed at protecting the health, safety and welfare of nursing home patients the standards now enforced in this state equal or exceed those of other states, department officials believe.

That this is true is borne out when the beneficial aspects and the results obtained under Texas standards are compared with the situation in other states, says 3 . W. Homburg, director of the Texas licensure program.

The Texas law has been in effect since June 1953.

Auto License Plates Go On Sale February and March is the renewal period for motor vehicle license plates in Texas, announced State Highway Engineer D. C. Greer, Feb. 1.

Texans will notice a newly designed license plate for 1961. A different style of letters and numerals have been used to make the plates more readable from a distance Black letters and numerals on a white background is the color scheme for 1961. • A new numbering will be used for some classifications such as trailers, truck tractors and buses. These classifications will have a one-letter prefix from two-to-five digit numerals. For example: A trailer number could be A-10 or A=12345. The numbering system for other classifications will remain the same as for 1960.The change in the system was brought about by the ever increasing number of registered vehicles in Texas.

The Texas Highway Department estimates that vehicle registration in Texas for 1960 will total 4,800,000. This places Texas third in the nation in registered vehicles following California and New York.

"Texas should reach the seven-million mark by the end of this decade," Greer said "There are more vehicles in Texas today than there were Texans in 1920 and the per cent of increase in motor vehicles in Texas in the last four decades is twenty times the per cent of increase in population. There are two Texans for every Texas-registered motor vehicle."

Greer stressed the importance of registering all automobiles and trucks in the county of the vehicle owner's residence.

"Do not ask the County Tax Collector to violate the law. He is re quired to detrand to see your certificate of title and 1960 license receipt before he can issue your 1961 plates." • The penalty for operating a vehicle without home-county license plates is the same as operating a vehicle with no plates at all. Court fine can be as much as $200, plus being required to register M the home county with a 20 per cent penalty of the annual fee. Refunds cannot be granted for the illegal plates.

Owners registering illegally in 1961 can expect to face court charges.

"Don't risk an illegal registration," Greer urged. "Remember, too, that a portion of all registration fees stays in your home county to benefit your local community."

LODGE 88 YOUTH CLUB HOUSTON Dear Friends, I am happy to be able to report that our "Get Acquainted" youth dance was quite a success, for about seventy-five young people were present. I am told that, is the largest number of young people that ever assembled at our Lodge Hall. Good music was provided by Billy Hilsher's combo and by the 18 piece Reagan Dance Band under the leadership of Gene Hultquist.

One of my policies as a Youth Director is toy give credit to whomever deserves it.

The dance could not have been a success without the generous help of some very, nice members of our lodge. First of all I want to thank Mrs. Birdie Hilsher for helping me so much in telephoning so many. Birdie, I've been told that you are a hard and capable worker, and I really found out you are, for you did so much in decorating the hall! Others who helped decorate were Mrs. Della Kadlecek, Jeannette Helmcamp, Robert Hilsher, Jimmie Kadlecek and Gene Hultquist. The hall was beautifully decorated in the Valentine theme and will remain so throughout February.

The delicious cookies were mode by Mrs. Birdie Hilsher, Mrs. Della Kadlecek, Mrs. Estelle Kelly, Mrs. Mary Tilich and Jeannette Helmcamp. Thanks, ladies; I hope you heard some of the many compliments about the cookies!

Bobby Dobesch helped with the publicity and also was the M.C. at the dance. Thanks, Bobby, we need more like, you! Bobby asked President Louis Hanus, who helped us in various ways, to say a few words. President Hanus thanked and complimented the two bands and also announced that the Lodge Princess, Jeannette Helmcamp, was present. Jeannette and Robert Hil-

sher registered the guests.

I want to thank the young people who came and were such nice quests; you are truly a credit to your parents! Do come again! I also want to thank the parents who brought some boys and girls andi who stopped for a chat with me. I wish I could tell you how much that helps a new Youth Director!

There will be a meeting of our Youth Club Friday, February 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lodge Hall. We will have the election of officers, so try to come.

Don't forget our Pre-Valentine Dance, Saturday, February 11, with the wellknown Houston Play Boys furnishing good old-time and modern music.

Sincerely, Tillie Helmcamp ) • (— LODGE NO. 56, CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Vestnik Readers, Youth Club of Lodge 56 is having a meeting February 12. In this meeting we are going to have a Valentine party.

With our mid-term exams over I can hardly realize our school year is half over. This is my last year in Junior High, so next year should be exciting for me. I will go to the new Richfield High School that is being built now, only four and a half blocks from my home. Richfield is going to be one of the largest,. most modern high schools in Waco and I will be proud to be able to attend this new school.

Question — I have a friend who has obtained an immigration visa to come to the United States, The visa, I am told, is valid for four months from the date he received it. In the meantime some matters have come up which prevent my friends from leaving as soon as he had planned to. He would now like to depart on a ship which arrives in the United States a day or two after the visa expires. Will he have difficulties with the Immigration and Naturalization- Service upon arrival?

Answer — Generally speaking, a visa is regarded as valid if a continuous voyage to the United States is begun before expiration of the period of validity, even though the actual arrival in the United States occurs after expiration of the visa. If your friend departs for the United States before his visa expires, does not interrupt his journey and arrives a day or two after that date, the visa would still be valid. If he stops off any place on his way to the United ;States, the time of his departure would be counted not from the date when he leaves his former home, but from his last stop. It is desirable not to take any chances.

An Old Love Story for Valentine's Day

Effie Tucker. "He had been well acquainted with most of the people buried there and felt very close to their families.

Wills Point — The traditional symbols of Valentine's Day are cherubic cupids, linked hearts and tender love messages on lacy paper.

But Van Zandt County's most appeal: ing love story is symbolized by a rusting iron fence around a local cemetery lot, a gate that has never been unlocked and two weather-beaten headstones.

It is the story of a couple very much in love — a girl who ,died on the eve of her marriage and her sweetheart who vowed they would never be separated.

The ill - fated romance dates back more than 75 years. The names of the principals, Sallie J. Presley and W. M. Thompson, mean little to most of the old-timers who know only in a vague sort of way about the "sweethearts' grave" in White Rose Cemetery.

So far as is known there are no relatives either of Sallie Presley or Thompson now living in Wills Point.

The late J. W. Jamieson, who served forty years as sexton at the cemetery, knew the story well It is being perpetuated by his children.

"Father took a personal interest in the upkeep of the graves in the White Rose Cemetery," says his daughter, Mrs.

"There was nothing Inorbid or depressing about his job as caretaker. In fact he often said that as he walked among the groves he felt he was walking among old friends."

The families of Thompson and Miss Presley were among the first settlers of Wills Point back in the early seventies.

In fact the community was still known as Iola, the name used before the post office was established. The Texas and Pacific Railroad built its line through here about 1873.

The two young people, according to Jarnieson's story, had planned to be married late in 1872. But even as she was making plans for the wedding, Sallie was stricken with a fatal illness. She died on October 18, shortly before her twenty-first birthday.

The grief-stricken Thompson sought solance from his fiancee's parents. He vowed he would never marry and received permission from the Presley family to buy a cemetery lot just big enough for two graves. The girl was to be buried in one and the other was reserved for himself.

Thompson outlived his sweetheart less than nine years. Prior to la& death in

Wednesday Februay 8, 1961 January 1881 he gave detailed instructions regarding his burial. He also made arrangements for the erection of identical headstones over his own grave and that of Miss Presley. He asked further that an iron fence be built around the lot. He wanted the gate padlocked and the key thrown away.

Jamieson did not know whether the towering oak tree which stands, guard over the two, graves was planted at Thompson's request. But his other instructions were carrie out to the letter,

Czech Folklore in Texas Written by Miss Olga Pazdral of West, Texas as her "Thesis" for her Master's Degree at the University of Texas Editor's Note: Through the courtesy of Miss Olga Pazdral, Assistant Principal of West High School, we are most happy to bring before our English speaking SPJST membership, excerpts of her, "Czech Folklore in Texas," Miss Pazdral's thesis for her Master's Degree at the University of Texas.

Our Texas Czechs have all known the Pazdral men in this family and now it is our pleasure to acquaint you with their modest daughter, Miss Olga.

From the bibliography contained therein, Miss Pazrdal used all of the material available in America on her subject, but one might say, that the Citizens of West, too, speak through this work, for many of the superstitions, proverbs, beliefs, tales, etc. brought out were contributed by many a Starenka, Staricek and Parent here at West to the youngsters in the family who were compiling them in their English classes.

The late Dr. George Pazdral, has translated many of the songs dear in Czech childhood into gems of beauty in English. We all know that among his other accomplishments, he was very poetic, many of his timely verses appeared in our Czech papers.

We are indebted to Miss Pazdral for the loan of her copy of her thesis on these fascinating topics and know that if she ever published a book on her collection, that everyone of Czech extraction would most certainly want one in their home, for it is delightfully written.

In the Preface, Miss Pazdral explains: "In West, Texas — where two Czech newspapers are printed, where Czech was taught in the high school, where three churches conduct services in Czech —where over one half of the citizens are of Czech descent —it is only natural

AT1l81‘Ni1C— WEST, TEXAO that one should feel another civilization mingling with the American and be sensitive to the presence of Czechoslovakian lore in almost every phase of life.

"During the study of Southwest Literature in my English classes in West High School I made an attempt to awaken the pupils to- the literature and the folklore that surrounded them, including the folklore that has been transplantea to the southwest and has become so well acclimated that it has become a part of everyday life for these Czech-American Texans. They brought in an abundance of material; rhymes remembered from childhood, games they had lately played, songs they still sang, beliefs their forefathers had sown, customs they yet observed, tales their grandparents had told them— Czech folklore in Texas! Interviews with pupils and with friends outside of school furnished both information and enthusiasm.

Again and again during the writing of this paper the thought has come that this is only a beginning, that there are hundreds of other songs, proverbs, rhymes, tales, customs, and beliefs among the Czechs in Texas. Likely, any person of Czech descent reading this paper would say, "This I know," or "This is not familiar to me," but inevitably he would say, "This reminds ire of another bit of Czech folklore."

In Texas, Czech folklore is like a great crop lying unharvested in a field.

In Czechoslovakia itself folklore is being exterminated by a pestilence that will not leave, if possible, one seed to be planted when the ravaging is done.

Upon Czech-Americans, far away in a land of happiness and safety, falls the age - old Czech duty of preserving what the Czechs have always held dear."

Sports Column Judging by the letters we receive, our Sports Column is getting to be more popular each week. Some of our members friends are sportsmen and they like to find something in t)heir paper pertaining to their hobby. Just try to check the number who buy hunting and fishing licenses in your county and you will realize the wide appeal of our "Sports" Column.

• • College Station Texans love to fish.

There are over 11/2 million fishermen in our state and they spend an average of 123 million dollars annually in pursuit of this popular sport. A sizeable amount of this money is spent for bait, especially minnows, Many of these raxinnows are raised in Texas, but the demand is so much higher than the domestic supply that millions must be imported annually says Ed Cooper, extension wildlife specialist.

Since this defieney in the supply of home-grown minnows does exist, there is some opportunity to make a profit in the commercial minnow business. Minnow raising is not a "get-rich-quick" operation, Cooper warns. It has been the experience of those in the business that a considerable investment in time, labor and capital is necessary for a successful operation.

In order to be successful, you must have minnow ponds of the correct size and depth. There must be an adequate, dependable water supply available, and you must have pumps, water lines, drainage structures and other equipment to completely control the movement of this water. Cooper says that the use of well water instead of runoff or stream water usually assures a more uniform chemical composition and, reduces the likelihood of introducing undesirable fish, minnow dieseases and parasites. In general, the initial cost of equipment and engineering is rather high.

A person interested in going into the commercial minnow business must have

Strna,

vESTNIK -2.- WEST, TEXAS or acquire some knowledge of water chemistry and the biology of minnows and other aquatic animals. Experience in fish cultural methods is vital to success, thus you must be prepared to accept some failures and even financial losses the first few years. For these reasons it usually pays to visit successful minnow farms to learn techniques and obtain advice instead of plunging into the business ill prepared, Cooper points out.

Tnformation on licenses required for commercial bait operations can be obtained from the Texas Game and Fish.

Commission, Austin, Texas. Cooper also says that a booklet entitled "Raising Bait Fishes" can be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. This publication sells for 45 cents per copy, • • Wardens Featured in Magazine Austin — The February issue of "Texas Game and Fish" magazine is chock full of interesting articles and helpful information, according to T. D. Carroll, director of information and education for the Texas Gatne and! Fish Commission. "One of the most important features of the magazine is that it contains names, addresses and photographs of nearly every game warden in the state," reports Carroll. You'll surely want to know who your warden is and where you can contact him if and when you need him, Other interesting features in the magazine include one called "Gobbler Gamble" by Smokey Boyle. If, you have ever attempted to talk turkeys in with an artificial call, this one will be humorous to you. "I opened the proceedings with a 12 gauge remark directed at a big torn," writes Boyle. "He and a load of No. 2 shot arrived at the same time, and the poor folks were eating again."

This was a perfect finish until Boyle's friend wanted to call the others back with his call for another shot. Then the unexpected happened.

• • Austin — Night hunters fared roughly in the courts during December, according to the regular ►raonthly arrest report of the law enforcement division of the Game and Fish Commission.

During the month 124 hunters were arrested) for hunting deer with headlights. Most of them paid fines ranging from $500 to $200 and quite a few of them had their hunting licenses suspended for a year.

During the month there were 576 arrests. Fines were paid totaling $21,339.94

plus $966 in court costs for a grand total of $22,305.94.

lF,PORT ON TB CONTROL RESOURCES A'comprehensive report on tuberculosis control resources in Texas was distributed this week as Gov. Daniel's coordinating committee on tuberculosis tbbk "another step toward meeting the ".gOvernor's instructions to "launch a frontal attack agains this disease."

Publication of the factual, no-frills, lreport, marks the first time in history that information on TB control activities_of seven state-wide agencies has been cal r4piled into a single volume.

"Despite advances made in recent years against tuberculosis as a killer of Texans, the disease must still be regarded as a major menace from the point of view of its disabling effort on the patient, its disrupting influence on the famly, and its costly interval of treatment," the governor wrote in a foreword to the report.

Wednesday, February 8, 1961:

State Health Commissioner J. E. Peavy said the report was "designed to meet an obvious need for information concerning tuberculosis control services available from the seven agencies most intimately involved." Dr. Peavy is chairman of the coordinating committee.

Contributors to the report were the Texas Tuberculosis Association, Texas Medical Association, State Department of Health, Board for Hospitals and Special Schools, Departrnent of Public Welfare, Veterans Administration, and the Texas Education Agency.

Copies of the publication have gone to city and county health officers, county judges, county medical societies components, TB hospitals, welfare workers, and others.

The report contains such diverse information as the location of 92 local tuberculosis associations, control fun-

ctions Performed i by the State Health Department's sections on laboratories, preventive medicine and special health services, and the location of 35 public TB clinics.

It covers eligibility for admission to state and Veterans Administration TB hospitals, financial aid, to dependent children, and rehabilitation of tubervulosis patients.

Besides Dr. Peavy, committee members are Dr. C. J. Ruillmann of the State Board for Hospitals and Special Schools; Dr. J. W. Edgar, commissioner of education; John H. Winters, commissioner of public welfare; Dr. Elliott Mendenhall, chainrian of the Texas Medical Association's committee on tuberculosis; and Dr. J. Edward Johnson, president of the Texas Tuberculosis Association.

LAND OF 1100 SPRINGS—The story of ol,, America's purest artesian waters is mapped out in this schematic drawing of the Edwards tindergr — nd Watez Reservoir and its watershed. The underground reservoir, a vast waterway channeled out of honeycombed limestone, furnishes San Antonio with one of America's great natural brewing waters. It is the water with which Pearl Beer is made. Spring water from the Hill Country of the Edwards Plateau filters into the subterranean waterway through cracks in the earth's crust. The legend in the lower right hand corner explains this water system. The watershed area is sometimes called the "Country of 1100 Springs".
