Neni ,daleko doba, kdy rnladY AmeriCan byl hrclik na to, ze nenaluvi ZadnYm, jin.Ym jazykem, ne'Z anglicky. Svetove ucialosti po posledni valce, mezinarodni zapas o svetoyou presty2 ye v gech oborech ukazaly vgak, ze Spoj ene staty americke nemohou se uzavriti do sveho vnittniho Z"ivota, ale ze musi se svou kulturou, se svou narodne politickou myglenkou svobody a volnosti y en do sveta.

Po trapnYch zku genostech se vgak phglo na to, 'Ze ne v gechny narody mluvi anglicky, ze i pies dobrou vuli i rezne bohate dary si Amerika, neziska, pratele. Amerieti diplomats, politieti yfulci, olochodni, vedecke i vojenske miss neznaji vetginou cizi ITC a tim maji nevYhodu ,oproti jinYin zahranienim zastupcfn.

Potravinanni k miru V nekterSrch eastech sveta ziji miliony lidi o stalem hladu, nebot' v jejich zemi nikdy neni dostatek potravin. Jinde na svete hromadi se naopak eele hory pkebyteenSTch plodin. Juxtaposici techto dvou fakt dospivame k poznatku, ze ye zminene situaci skOlia, se jeden z nejo2ehavej§ich problerat sveta na strane jedne, a dobra pkile2itost k humanni slu2he SpojenSrch statil na strane druhe.

President Kennedy si pine uvedomuje nejen tento problem hladu, ale i mene zavanSr, pies to vAak o napravu volajici problem nedostadujici vS7Zivy a a nespravne diety ye velkSrch eastech sveta. Ve sve inauguraeni 'keel sliboval proto kooperaci v celosvetove akci na vymSreeni hladu a jinSrch "odvekSrch neptatehl lidstva."

I ye sve "State of the Union Message" navdzal na problem hla.du, prohla'Suje, 2e jeho administrativa v gemoZhe rozgiki akci "potravinami k miru". "Produktil nakho nadbytku musi bYti uMto fieinneji ke zinirneni hladu a k podpokeni hospodakskeho rozkvetu ye ligech eastech sveta," pravil president Kennedy.

Pked nekolika mesici — ba je gte pied volbami — yytvo •il pan Kennedy z ylaAni vSrbor "potravinami k miru". Doporueeni tohoto vS/boru nebylo je gte uvefejneno, odekava se ykk, ze vS7bor bude raditi k mezindrodnimu programu rozdelovani pkebyteench potravin prostkednictvim "potravinova banky", jez by byla fizena Potravinovou a zemedelskou organisaci SpojenSlch narodu.

V posiednich letech east° patrame po rozluAteni zahady, co si poeiti se pfebyteenrmi. potravinami. Vlada snaZi se ji prakticky fe giti dvema zptsoby: Cast pfebytkil je rozddvdna lidem na fizemich, kde je nedostatek techto potravin, a druhd, Cast je prodavdna do ciziny, ale takovSTrn zpilsobem, aby se tim neuSkodile hospodaistvi jinS7ch zemi.

Tento program provddi se ye shode se zakonem, kterSi kongres &dislo yal jako Public Law 480, a o nim't se obyeejne mluvi jako o 'P. L. Four Eighty". Ve shode s timto zakonem prodavaji Spojene staty, Cast sYSTch pkebytkil v cizine za tamni menu, a z prodejni ceny vice neali pdjeuji pak zernim, ktere po•traviny koupily a ktere pouNji teto piljeky hlavne k rozvoji vlastniho hospoddfstvi.

SOKOLSKA HLIDKA Ve svernosti je sila Neni jiste maliokosti v drie gni valne dobe uspokadati slet Sokolstva v Americe. Je na nas tikeh, abychom dokazali, ze eeska, morayska a slovenska vetev ye SpojenYch statech je_ jekte stale dosti silna, aby mohla dokazati velke , dilo a ukazati vkmu svetu svoji silu. V minulosti bylo vykonano hodne price na poli narodnim i pro blaho t eto naafi velke krasne nove vlasti. Ale nemideme ze vzpominek, musime znova dokazovat, ae jsme jegte na svete Ze jekte stale mime co kid.

Snad nekdo namitne, ze Sokol a slet je zalektosti diste sokolskou, ale to neni pravda. Sokolski my'kenka se stala majetkem kahleho uvedomeleho pkislifanika nakho naroda a je proto v zajmu kaZdeho z nas, aby sokolskY slet vyznel opravdu pine. Posledni dobou se jaksi dostavame delft na svern pkestik. Vybijime se v drobnYch sporech a rozdilnYch nazorech na spoleenou vet a nemtdeme se zmoci, abychom ∎ spoleene ukazali, ze jeate kjeme. Jsme rortkikteni na nekolik skupin. A proto je slet takovou velkou mcdnosti, abychom se zase jednou seki a zase jednou dokazati, ae jeke jsme na svete a like znamename.

Pied easem kekl ieden trYznaenY sokolsky pracovnik, kterY patki jiZ do tieti generate: "My jekte mfdeme rust, my nejsme na tom tak S'patne, jde jen o to, abychom chteli rust." "Dame se do prate, budeme spolupracovat a kaZdY podnik s Uspechem uskuteenime. Tak po sokolsky s odvahou a nad§enim. A strhneme za, sebou i nak space, pfesvedeime nak zivotaschopnost a nezlomnou k novemu a lepaimu kvotu. A ka4leho, kdo si o nas mysli, ze td dale nemideme, pozvete na slet a piipravte mu velke pkekvapeni.

KahlY z nas, at' je kdekoliv a ma jakekoliv stanovisko, se raze zapojit do sletove prate. Casto slYchame slova, jak nejlepe prospeti sve tak teke zkoueene stare vlasti• Jedne tim mideme prospot ,budeme-li svorni a budeme-li spo-

VtSTNIK WEST, TiXATS Wane pracovati na spoleenern dile. Na sokolskem slete mtdeme ukazati Arnerice, ze jsme jednotni v nakch ideach, k dokakme spoleene jiti, kdy je toho potkeba, a vekte, ted' je toho potkeba vie nee kdy jindy. Nenechte na sebe ti nekterYmi terni, ktell pro sviij osobni zisk, at' hmotnk nebo jinY, se snak rozleptavat naafi narodni jednotu. Ka2dY, kdo ma dobrou vuli, mute pkispeti k zdaru sletu, kterY patki vgem bez rozdilu.

A tak nestujte ani vy stranou a dejte se do prate a pak mfdeme dokazati nee° velkeho a skuteeneho, co nam zase ziska naafi povest u ostatni Ameriky. Sokolska, mykenka je krasna, a je v ni feecko, co prospeje i Arnerice, je v ni svoboda ,demokracie, sila, krasa a zdravi.

A nechme vkho, co nas deli a podejme si ruku a doka‘Zme nee° velkeho, co se da dokazati jen tehdy, budeme-li svorni. Vae pro zdar sletu Americke Obce Sokolske!

VESTNIK— WEST TEXAS

Vriporticluy.

(Ptemena jmen je 0myslna.)

(Pokraeovani) U2 jsem vain povedel, jak jsem jednou spadl s Wady, kdy jsem tam mamince kradl su gene gvestky. Dlouho potom jsem o ptadu ani okem nezavadil a vubec jsem dela' vgeobecnou dobrotu. A to tak dlouho, dokud jsem nevidel, jak maminka odnagi na piidu hrnek s medem, kterY si nada vyprosila pro na geho kag laveho tatinka. Nebyl jsem sice tak rozpustilYm, abych chtel snist nemocnemu Otci trochu toho medu, kterY byl pro neho lekern — a piece jsem byl zase tak nalsnY, ze jsem si chtel toho medu aspori trochu liznout. lrydez1 jsem tedy nepozorovane na du, nadzdvihl jsem vitro u gpilirny a docela molounko — jen tak na Apieku prstu jsem si vzal trochu medu. "To ptece nikdo nepozna!" omlouval jsem svoji misnotu — a za chvilku jsem si gel vzit zase jen takovY docela rnaliekY kousleek. To se potom opakovalo kaZdY den nekolikrat, az zbylo na dne hrneeku medu sotva mouse k yeeeki.

Toho jsem se zalekl a s hrtizoir jsem oenkaval chvili, kdy tatinek tekne mamince: "Ten mordyonskej ka gel me uZ zase poeina trapit. Matko, bud' tak dobra a ptines mi s pudy na 1Zici toho medu, at' se mi trochu ulevi!" A kdy se tak vsktuku bray stalo, neoekal jsem, jak to dopadne, a vytratil jsem se ze svetnice ti geji ne2 nage koeka Mourata.

Sedl jsem si naproti no gervu baraku na malou stranku nad na gim sklipkern a tam jsem s tlukouciin srdcem odekaval, jak bude dal. Bylo mi divne, ze neslygim Zadne hubovani, a uz jsem se bidhove te gil, ze si to tatinek s tim medem rozmyslel a maminku pro nej ani neposlal — —ale bray ml sklaplo!

Doma, sice ZadnY ramus nebyl, ale za malou chvilku vygel yen sta,rgi bratr Frantigek s pot'ouchlYrn fismevem na rtech. Mne si na sklipku ani nev giml, ale celou cestu ke kalnieee i zpet °Mikaval: "Med — med — med! Med — med — med! Med — med —med." A kozli vedi -- co mel tehdy pond venku na praci kaZciou chvilku vygel ven a stale mlel stejnou pisnieku: "Med med —med. Med —med med! Med — med med!" A to uZ jseni tedy vedel, ze to na nine prasklo a ze jesm se stal tim okamZikem "klukem, kterY nesmi do-

A nekdy — pro krYlepana nekdy to cede utrpeni bylo docela zbyteene. 0 tom by yam mohl nee° povedet Tonik Jedliekt, jestli to uZ za to Leta nezapomnel. Dnes uZ ma na brade takovehle vousy, ale tehdy Ynel bradieku jako eerstvY livaneeek a byl to kluk pohyblivY j ako Jednou mu nalila jeho maminka na tali bramborovou polevku k obedu on si ji gel snist na eerstvY vzduch. Ale ✓ tmave since se mu ptipletla do testy Mtge s popruhem tak ne gt'astne, ze klopytl, upustil talif s polevkou a sam se natahl jaka Zaba. Hned Ydak zase vyrazil ze sinky jako jelen a nezastavil se ad nada na druhem konci vesnice. Tam si smutne usedl a Mal "kluka, kterY nesrni dome. Klonil smutne hlavu se strany na stranu, vzdychal a chvilerni si pro zrnenu take zaplakal.

Sedel tam'ad dlouho do tmy, kdy O., tam pomalu zaeinal mit strach, ze si ho vezme klekanice. A tu se za nim pojednou ozval marninein veselY hlas: 'Pojd' do- kluku hloupa. Prot se bojid jit domil vZdyt' se ten talit nerozbil."

Ah, jak to tehdy Tonik Jedlicku sypal radostne k teplemu clomovu! Ale eastejr to dopadlo MIT! Nekdy dopadl kluka rozlobenY otec, vyplatil ha hned na miste a hnal jej doran na kute. Jindy se ho zZelelo dobre mamince, vyhledala ho i'ekla mu vlidne: "Pojd' VaSiku, Franto net* Pepikul Nic se ti nestane!" KdyZ" kluk hned poslechl a del — dobte to dopadlo, ale kdyt neposlechl a utekl jedte dal — inu, vem to kozel dobte ti tak! TakovY kluk potom nekde za vsi vysedaval skreen v doliku, aby ho nikdo nevidel, tta,s1 se zimou a mel hlad. Smutne a zavistive pozoroval jine kluky, jak berstarostne tahnou k domovinn. Je pravda, ze kamaradi ho v ne§-testi nikdy neopustili a nosili mu jablka, chleb, peeene brambory a Dire zbytky pokrmti — ale na konec ho to ptece jen ornrzelo.Zima, hlad a stesk pa domoye brzy kluka donutily, 'de si del radeji donna pro vyplatu, aby tomu vyhnanstvi byl konec. Oast() se vgak stab, ze nekterY tatik delai, jako by tuZ na fgeeko zapomnel, protole si myslel, ze tim hladem, zimou a steskem byl kluk jiz dostateene potrestan. No— a ja jsem tak pekne zamlnvil ten svtij ptipad s vylizanYm medem a nemusim uz ani vykladat, jak to tehdy se mnou dopadlo!

Strana 8 siez1 trochu snih, uz jsme vyhledavali na vksluni vyhiata mista a tam jsme se tit nedoekave zouvali, abychom po, dlouh.e zimni dobe zase jednou dosyta uzili behani na boso. V zemi, sotva trochu vyschle, jsme hloubili dalky, hrali jsme fazole a vyhtivali se na milem slunieku.

Kdyt vyschla vet gi mista, naves nebo kapeeek pied Sobrovkin stavenim, hned se hemtily detmi z cele vesnice. Ho gi mrskali koupene i samodilne kadi, napalovali mieudu, hrali "kot'ata", "gpadka", "kokege" a vgecky motne jarni hry. Nekdy jsme si hrali na, vojaky, na haside, na Akolu, jindy no, zlodeje, myslivce, hastrmany. Deveata se toeila dokola, skakala ye "gkolce" nebo si hrala na "Elig ku pygnou." Na vyschlkch zahradach jsme sbirali pecky z lonskkch avestek a jako vza,cnou pochoutku jsme z nich vybirali hofka jadra. S touhou jsme se divali po holkch krnenech stramti a hadali jsme, za jak dlouho budou miti zase ovoce.

A sotva jsme trochu utili jarnich her a radovanek, ut narn take nastavaly prvni prate a povinnosti. Ja jsem musel chodit na travu na gim maim housatkam a cho dival jsem na ni rad. Ta prvni jarni travieka je vtdy tak svete zelena a pfi trhani tak pkijemne voni. Prvni travieka rostla nejdfive na vlhkkch mistech a kolem &stein), bublaliciho pottleku, kterk se klikate vine mezi omechovatelkmi kameny, vrbovim, olgemi a jinkmi kfovinarni.

Housatka se hned sama naueila akubat sveti travieku a stale si mezi sebou nee° atebetala. Snad jim stara husa poradila, jak to mail Mat, protote jim , dovedla povedet i fine veci.

Kdyt kratce za gtebetala jen slabiku: ha!, tak to znamenalo vkstrahu, te se objevilo neco nebezpeeneho. Housatka zvedla ihned hlavieky a take ja, jsem se 'lady °hied', co to je. A byvala to nekdk letici vrana, jindy pes nebo nektera tetka s otepi suchecho chrasti na ohnutkch zddech.

To me vgak nikdy nevyrugilo z pilne prdce. Ale jakmile za,eala stara, husa: ratata!, to jsem ihned musel stare huse prutem pohrozit, aby si takove terty nechala, protote takove gtebetani znamenalo: "Deti, ut nechte vaeho ted' aloe! vaichni za mnou k domovu!"

Jednou brzy z jara, kdyt jsem, zase pasl naae housatka na paloudku pod lesem, popadla me touha vykoupat se v blizkem, potoce. Slunieleo, mile hfalo a eista, voda tolik lakala k vykoupani. Vzpomire], jsem si, jak se to vloni krasne skakali) s btehu do hluboke time, a jit jsem se dale nerozmkglel. Hned byly aaty dole — a hup do vody. Ale — mile deti, pfal bych vam videt, jak jsem z te ledove vody zase rychle vyrazil na bfehl Jako, by nine tam nejedna, ale aspori sto vos vrazilo najednou tihadla! Chtel jsem se rychle zase ,ustrojit, ale tak jsem se zimou kiepal, te jsein nemohl trefit ani do ruka.va kosile. Behal jsem tedy hodnou chvili jako splagenk sem tam po louce, at jsem se tak zahfal, te jsem se motel ustrojit. A star& husa s housaty na mne broulily, jako by nechapaly, co se s tim klukem pojednou stab.

Jak jsem vam jiz povedel, byl maj otec obuvnikem a mou eastou povinnosti bylo roznaaet nova nebo spravene boty do okolnich vesnic. A nejradeji jsem chodival na jafe. Snih pod paprsky tepleho slunieka rychle rortaval a vaude bylo plno vody. Voda v potocich se prudce valila jako v male fete, v dalce temne hudela, nebo aumela pa zatopenkch lukach.

Casto jsem se musel vratit damn, protote jsem si netroufal pfeskoeit giroce rozlitk potok. Ale brzo vody opadly a teple sluneeko rychle vysugilo cesty i peginy. A to se po tom vesele vykraeovalo s botami plus rameno po tvrdkch peginach mezi mladkm, syte zelenkm obilim. Nade mnou zpival vesele sktivanek, ye stra nich i lesich vitali jaro take ostatni ptaekove a ze skupin belokorkch bfizek vonely prvni fialky.

Videl jsem, jak obili kvapem rostla, a netli jsem se nadal, bylo vyttl net ja, tak pfljemne von_elo chlebem, kdyt jsem do neho vlezl pro modrou chrpu, fialovk koukol nebo eervenk vlei mak.

Ktepelka na vedlej gim poi chtela za to

Ye Stkedn, dne 8. bkezna 1961 na mile "pet penez" a dole z louky pod strani volaval na mne varovne ptak chkastal. To ut take dozravaly ye stranich na liskach sladke ofi gky a na polich lakaly sladke lusky a buclate makovice.

To ut bkvala take pofadna horka a my, deti, jsme se Jenne chodily koupat do; hubaekovskeho rybnika. Tam plavaly po voda velke a silne dubove fo gny a po tech jsrne se my kluci east° plavili na druhk konec — do Ameriky. Museli jsme davat bedlivk pozor, 'abychom pfi te dobradrutne plavbe nepadli do rukou divokkm pirattm, ktefi do nas palili tetkkrni kulemi z biota. A stova jsme jim gt'astne unikli, ut jsme se zase museli pHpravovat na nepfatelske uvitani od rudkch Indiana. Ut na nes eekali na, &ahem bfehu, pomalovani eervenou hlinou a ovegeni cllouhkm listim. Uvitali rids divokkm poktikem, mavanim tomahavky vyhratnkmi posunky. Tak se branili pti`bledkch tvafi" a hiedeli uchranit sva lovigte pled vyplenenim. A east() tern. dlouhkm bojilm musel udelat konec pan otec Janovskk, kterk to bral odepnutkm femenem napofad, a tak dostal namydleno velkk naeelnik Bdvoli Oko, admiral Krigtof Kolumbus i prostk namotnik.

Bojovat na suchu byvalo tedy nebezpeon°, ale k bitvam na voda jsme se teprve nesmeli odvatit. Vtdyt' malokterk kluk umel plovat, a to jests jen tak pa "psovskem zpiisabu". Je pravda, te nektefi ho gi i tak pfepiovali cell hubaekovskk rybnik, ale trvalo jim to hrozne dlouho a htmotu ph, tom nacielali, jako kdyby tam ploval slon a ne malt' kluk. Voda pti tarn vysoko strikala, jak do bil vgemi etyfmi konoetinami, a myslim, te z toho hluku, kterk takovk plavec nadeal, jiste musilo bkti nevolno i hubadkovskemu hastrmanovi.

Kdyt byvalo male, easu, zabehli jsme se vykoupat do maleho nahonu v lukach nad vesnici. Nehodil se svou skrovnou rozlohou k velkolepkm bojam, ale studenej gi voda a vkplata od strkce Uhra take staeily, k zchlazeni bujne nalady. Nepozorni a rozpustili kluci poglapali travu kolem nahonu, a tak se easto stab, to byli nahle pfekvapeni lateficim strkcem Uhrem. Nekdy jsme byli opravdu radi, te jsme aspori zachranili hole tivoty a smutne s protej gi strane pfihliteli, jak rozzlobenk strkc gmahem hazi do vody vgechny nage easti oblekt, ktere jsme v tom nenadalem zmatku na bfehu zanechali. A dalo nom to vtdy innehoprace a hledani, netli jsme si v gechno pa potoce shledali.

Pak jsme si to nahofe na strani na, siunieku sugili a pfi torn, jsme si *tierne slibovali, co vg'echn.o strkci Uhrovi uvyrosteme a zesilime, a co delame,

Ve sttedu, tine 8. btezna 1961 vAechno hned zitra naloMme jejich Tonaovi a psu Zulikovi. Ale za, chvili jsme jiz o nidem nevedeli a druhY den jsme se tam beZeli zase vAichni vykoupat.

Cestou k nahonu i zpet k domovu jsme se radi plouhali fizkYmi peeinami mezi vysokou travou, pinou krasnYch a pH.jemne vonicich kvetin. Deveata si z nich pletla venedky na hlavy a my kluci jsme zase vyhledavali lute stvoly pampelieek, abyehom z urobili frkadky.

BublavY potok uprostred ludiny lakal nos syYmi hlubokYmi -amend, ye kterYch se prohanely mretne rybky a line lezli yousati raci, i piseitYmi meldinami, kde voda rnusela, preskakovat hladke kameny. A kdyz nas na tech toulkach prepadl nekdy hlad, stadilo nam vlezt do bujne travy a natrhat si kyseleho et'oviku. Byval nekdy kyselejel nez ten nejostrejel ocet a my jsme se pri to pochoutce vZdy Aklebivali jako opice — ale nam to nevadilo a nekdy jsme et'oviku snedli eel& otypky.

Br! Kolem svatku sv. Antonina bYval tern radostem konee. Na luka vytahli sekadi a pied vYchodem slunce lezela bujna trava v dlouhYch tadach, z kterYch jsme do "kytek" smel vybirat vonici kmin. A jak krasne se to be.lalo kolem kup silne vonieiho sena, a jak bujne. se skakalo pies menei kopky.

A jak krasne bYvaly ty letni vedery. Z luk vonelo seno, z Jedlidkovy lotde se rozlehalo po vsi kufikani Zab a odnekud z chaloupek za, potokem priletaly k nam mile zvuky tahaci harmoniky. Jinde zpivali sborem hoei a deveata naee krasne lidove pisne a do toho se misil tlumenY hovor strYcfr a tetidek shromaidenYch nekde zaprai. U lavky se honily deti kolem velike hromady smrkoveho chvoji, vYskaly a da,valy si "baby" na dobrou noc.

Za cletmi oaeeli spat i dospeli a vesnice pomalu ztichla. Jen nekde je ge bouchly dvere, zaeteka,1 pes a ze sna probuzena slepice poplaeene zapipala.

Nevim, prod jsem met tak rad tickle mesieni noci. Castokrat v late, kdy byl mesic v fiplriku, sedaval jsem, cele hodiny na kameni pied naeim sklipkem dival jsem se na oblohu posetou hvezdami, Bledekuty mesie s vybajtenou podobou sv.

Byl bych tam snad seal vkly az do ran g, ale bylo nutno take jiti spat.

V parnem late, kdy nam bYvalo v dusne svetnici velke horko, spavali jsme se stareim bratrem v ptistodfilku. A to bylo nee° pro mne. Bratr usnul tyrde hned, jak si lehl, a nestaral se, kdy ja eel spat.

REALISMUS V AMERICKE POLITICE (Inf ormaeni clank) Po sve thstupni keel prones1 americ'KY president Kennedy druhou kee, nazvanou Poselstvi k narodu. ()been* dojem je, ze s presidentem Kennedym nastoupil k vlade realismus jako program, realismus hrdY na sebe a bezohlednk, je-li treba. Kdo se probira svetovkm tiskern, shleda, ze tento postoj imponuje.

V eloveku je ovgem take znana potieba ilusi. Ale ye chvili, o jejit laitienosti nenniZe bYt pochyb, lide piece citi, je lepe, jestliZe nekd'o je postavi na pevnoui puclu faktu.

Ma talent piesvedeit, ze tijeme v rozhodujici historicke period. a Ze vSechno zaleli na tom, co •delame nebo co opomeneme udelat. Snad velka Cast jeha pritaZlivosti je v tom, Ze mnohYna lidem dodava zvYSenY pocit smyslu vota.

• John Kennedy prones1 d ye keel, naplnene velkYm osobnim odhodlanim, ale jeSte nikdy dve feel samy neudelaly celou historii. PonevadZ se zaslibil realismu, Kennedy jiste vi, ze zatim sice velmi dobie vyjadfil sebe, Ze vSak teprve se uke.2e, do Ake miry vyjadfil celou Ameriku. JestliZe Odd se pravi nebo jestliZe on sam o sob. pravi, Ze "vlada veci byla vlolena do jeho rukou", je to vice merle basnickY obrat. Na konec uskuteeneni innyslu je pololeno do rukou Jenom narod sam mute energicke, slova Kennedyho pielo git do skuteenosti.

Prato Kennedyho Poselstvi k narodu muselo mit, co melo — omen vYznaenk ton nalehavosti. Nevime, jak dlouho mu trvalo, nea se rozhodl mluvit o domacich nedostatcich a o pottebe abet& ale promluvil o nich.

The expanding role of 4-H emphasizes character development and good citizenship as 4-H members learn the latest practices in agriculture and home economics.

"Since the 4-H Program was inaugurated by the United States government in 1914, the 4-H movement has spread across our nation and to 52 foreign countries. 4-H Club members learn by conducting result demonstrations and participating in 4-H activities. By putting into action what they learn, club members improve their halies and communities.

"Voluntary adult leaders working with club members provide a key to the success of 4-H. Parents and friends of 4-H give support and encouragement to club members. The Agricultural Extension Service of the Texas A. and M. College, through county extension agents, direct the 4-H Club program.

"Any boy or girl from ages 9 to 21 can take part in 4-H Club work. The opportunities offered to 4-H Club members to grow in citizenship, leadership and practical skills are especially valuable to them, the state of Texas and the nation.

4-H Clubs are a proving ground for the training of future leaders."

In his message to the approximately 100,000 4-H members in Texas Governor Daniel said, "Please accept my best wishes for 1961 and the yeas ahead.

May you continue to work to improve yourselves, your homes and communities and thus help' build our State and Nation. The future holds bright promises for our land, and as 4-H members, you have an important role in it."

"Faith in Ourselves" Stressed At Organizers Banquet Because District Three Organizers "went over the top" in their "quota" last year, their District Organizer, Bro. Arnold Vrla and his charming wife, Helen, feted them all, together with the organizers' wives, to a feast at the host Lodge, Mora ysti Bratri No. 6, better known to Vestnik's readers as Cottonwood Lodge No. 6.

There were well over 100 folks present at the banquet, Sunday February 26, at Cottonwood Hall. Almost every lodge was represented.

At 12:45 Brother Arnold Vrla asked the gathering to form a line for "chow" and a long line they did form to partake in deliciously barbecued halfchicken, cukes, olives, ranch beans, green salad, pies, kolaches and coffee, plus seconds. In a matter of minutes the long line was seated and eating for the Gentlemen Chefs in the kitchen had the plates all filled alike and waiting to be picked up.

Brother Vrla, also read letters of regret from those organizers unable to be ,pi,esent and congratulatory messages received and then set into motion the order of all speakers — by appointing a three member committee, (he called them minute-men) Brothers John Krizan, Emil Bonus and our beloved "chau ffeur" (because he had to chauffer his organizer wife around) Joe Milan, to limit each speaker to one and one-half minutes to make his or her speech, so most of the speakers just barely had time to approach the "mike" and thank their laost and hostess for the delicious meal, before he was reminded that his "time was up." This brought on a lot of laughter, good horror and there was a lot of camaradie at this after-eating and then some business.

Brother Vrla thanked Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, for being so generous in letting the District Three use their beautifully remodeled Lodge Hall as a Banquet Hall for the occasion. He then proceeded to introduce officers of the Cottonwood Lodge present, District Three Officers, present, Supreme Lodge Officers present, District Director, Vestnik's Editor, the Mayor of the City of West, and all of the ladies.

Honoring his five top organizers in his District, brother Vrla asked them to approach the stage for recognition and awards. They were: Brothers Anton Pavelka and Ben Jarma and their wives, for

VEST 14

K — WEST. TEXAS

it was acknowledged that a wife has to share, her husband's time off the job, calling on prospective policyholders.

These two above mentioned brothers and their lovely ladies received an electric appliance, a Thermoplate" and honored them for having mode the Twenty - Five Thousand Club in 1960.

Then Sister Anna Milan and Uncle Joe her chauffer, and brother Emil Petr and his loyely wife Bessie, were recognized for making the Fifty-Thousand Club, to receive an electric frying pan each.

Brother Stanley Vrla, was top in the District, making the Seventy-Five Thousand Club. He and his charming Martha received an electric ice cream freezer, to the applause of the whole house.

Taking part in the speeches were: Brothers and Sisters: John Krizan, R. Volcik, George Trojacek, Ed. Mazanec, Alvin Nesuda, Ben Jarma, Anton Pa y -elka,AnMil,EmPetrSanly Vrla, Louis Hosek, Robert Cervenka, Firma Ceska, Bessie Petr, Joe Holasek, Edward Maxek, Ben Zabcik, Raymond Urbanovsky — each contributed to the enjoyment of the occasion in their talks.

In defeerence to his Presidency of our Order, Brother Marek was given "no limit" by Brother Joe Milan, our minute-man, to make his speech.

Our President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Edward L. Marek, had the longest speech therefore for he brought regrets form his fellow officers, particularly Brother Hejny, who was elsewhere on business and could not be at this organizers' banquet.

Brother Marek stated that we shall continue to go forward where we can see the momentum of our forward going, that "our future" was in our young folks, our youth.

"The strength of a nation lies in the ability of its adults to teach the youth.

I want us to always stand ready and be on guard" he further stated. "The strength of a nation or an Order is in the faith that we have in ourselves.

Lauding the Youth Leaders in the Order, Brother Marek stated: "We know of the greatness of your efforts, when you leaders have your meetings of your efforts in working with the youth. in building of our leaders of tomorrow, our Order, your communities and our nation and it is that we, of the officers, pledge our efforts to go along with you throughout."

"We have watched the growth of the SPJST, the competition of the Districts, the work of the Districts the last few years. I have always enjoyed these meetings, for wherever I go, I go to meet my friends. There is knowledge stored in meetings of this type. The first is to

Strana 13 appreciate the efforts of your brother and sister — what they are doing in the Lodge.

The next one is the cooperation, in the effort in seeing the forwar'd'ness to see things work. Right along with that, democracy is working; fraternity speaks — with fraternity thus speaking goes the work in the field, new blood comes into our midst, it is a continuation of the older ones stepping out and the younger ones stepping in. It will be the younger ones here who will see us, netting a million dollars a year in the near future.

Officers in the field, organizers, youth leaders, all of you who have put your efforts in seeing this SPJST go forward, let's make this start of another four years a BANNER ERA. Let's do, let's see this work go forward," bade President Marek in closing his enthusiastic speech.

Lovely Sister Janie Hubik, of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, took a bow of recognition. She was the District Three Queen in 1959. Two beautiful and young past lodge Princesses were also present to take a bow, namely: Sisters Dona Rose Steinman of the Fort Worth Lodge No. 154, and Brenda Krivanek of Fort Worth Lodge No, 92.

Youth Leaders from adjoining lodge, Jaromir of West No. 54, Sister Frankie IVIikeska and Estelle Marek took a bow, as did our ever popular Sister Petr from Lodge No. 84 of Dallas, beloved youth leader, Sister Ruth Krizan of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 36, Martha Vrla of Lodge 130 Dallas, all took a bow.

The City of West's popular Mayor Joe Holasek, also a brother organizer, assured all of those present of their welcome to West, that as Brother Trojacek stated, they have brand spanking new jail addition with all accommodations far anyone who wishes to try them out.

Everything smacks with "an eara, of youth" even the thinking and speaking of our younger membership. Brother Vrla best • illustrated this with a race a group of under ten year of age boys were about to start in a soap box derby.

Counting, as in Dad's time: — one for the money, two for the show, three to make ready and four to go — didn't raise a peep from the youngsters on the starting line. One aspirant informed the counter that today it goes like this: Five, four, three, two, one — Blast Off! the count-down system used by our atomic scientists. Thanks to President Kennedy whose youthful approach to world's problems adds a ray of hope to our muddles, to the atomic age with is particular coinage of words, our youngsters are quick to adapt themselves to these changes, which in turn reflect in their mode of action and thinking. The

etrana 14 older generation is looking on diligently and with approval. The ability to adapt is the first step to ward going forward in a changing world. Our brotherhood is taking this change in stride through its younger membership. Why shouldn't we then, have "Faith in ourselves" as Brother Marek put it, with such a young membership, throbbing with life and actinon? We can't lose.

Sister Emma Ceska, ever popular District Youth Leader stated "We have enjoyed everything, the banquet was a success; it is proper to congratulate Lodge No. 6 for we have read of your progress in the Vestnik and we wanted to visit with you sooner, however time does not allow us. We are proud of you, the work you are doing, your organizers and your youth."

Sister Ceska then stated that "in 1961 there are a lot of things that hinge on the organizer and the youth." She explained some points in working for and determining this year's District Queen -- this will appear in the Vestnik. She urges everyone to help. The Queen and Duchess Contest Literature has been sent to every lodge from the Supreme Lodge office. This contest started March 1, and runs through May 31.

A State Talent Contest, sponsored by the Supreme Lodge, is slated for Sept.

24th, to be chosen through the Districts, and held at Lodge Praha No. 29, Taylor, Texas. She urged everyone to visit the beautiful SPJST Rest Home while in Taylor.

The next District Three Meeting is to be held at Elk Lodge No. 35 at Elk, Texas southeast of Waco on April 23rd.

The District Youth Activity Day to be held on June 25, a set annual event for the last Sunday in June..

Brother Hugo Freund of West Lodge No. 54, sent his best wishes for a successful •TReting. He is ill, as is Brother Jaresh of the Tioga Lodge, who was also unable to be present.

Brother Editor Hosek, urged all organizers to stress upon Lodge Reporters to send in their lodge news immediately while it is still news — not three of four weeks old.

Brother Ben Jarma stressed the forming of soft ball teams, Little Leagues, Men's soft ball teams for the summer ahead. He stated that his Lodge Pokrok 84 of Dallas would again have their team in action this summer. "This is the best way we can keep our youth occupied, he states, "and set an example for other youth."

Brother Alvin Nesuda, a member of the District Three Campsite Commitee, stated that so far, only threee lodges have responded to the "Project for the

VESTN K—WEST,TEXA8 District Campsite" function -- he urged that the lodges be reminded that the Campsite Project be included in the caning spring calendar of Lodge events.

The three minute-men, Krizan, Hanus, and Milan were thanked for their keeping of the rules oluring the speeches.

A standing ovation was given Brother host Vrla and his lovely wife, Helen, for the wonderful 'day in true fellowship.

Also, there was lots 'of business brought to the attention of the organizers, as one can see from the above, not all of the meeting was sprinkled with just nonsense.

Brother Vrla acknowledged his wife's active participation in his plans for the banquet with charming Helen in turn acknowledging Brother Arnold as a "very wonderful husband."

Quickly the tables were shed of their white tablecloths, dishes disposed, tables stacked and Brother Victor Pavlas and his missus and Brother Rudy Merenda pulled out their accordions and a dance session was in swing. Our host and hostess were given a "solo" and then the floor resounded with the enthustic thumping of feet and shuffling of dancers on the slick floor.

There were three donated kegs for those who 'desired their refreshing draughts and the dancers were working up a thirst for it as the evening wore on.

The day was sunny and beautiful, the crowd merry and they all proudly acclaimed their leader, District Three Organizer, as a leader among leaders, in this fraternal field work among fraternal brothers. God, too, smiled 'down upon His children, for the brotherly love was genuine.

Your Editor and wife thank Brother and Sister Vrla for their invitation to be among his wonderful organizers and their wives, for a day of true fellowship.

Thank you Brother and Sister Vrla, and all others for attending.

Hope to see you together next year. ) • 4 •

$22 Million Paid Daily In '60 By Life Insurance The nation's life insurance companies paid out 'to American families in 1960 a daily average of $22,200,00 to policyholders, beneficiaries and annuitants under the terms of their life policies and annuity contracts, according tothe Institute of Life Insurance.

The year's total benefit payments amounted to $8,119,600,000, up $588,200,000 over the year before and about twice the amount of benefits paid only nine years previously. Life insurance bene-

Wednesday, March 8, 1961 fits paid to policyholders and beneficiaries in 1960 amounted to $7,289,200,000 and payments to annuitants were $830, 400,000.

Broad Family Service "Dramatic stories involving the men, women and children who have benefited from life insurance and annuity payments during the past year give emphasis to the services of life insurance," Holgar J. Johnson, president of the Institute of Life Insurance said. "In many instances where dependent families desperately needed emergency funds following the deaths of their breadwinner, life insurance benefits were paid in a matter of hours after they came due. In several 'catastrophe' situations in 1960, the life insurance companies immediately sought out the beneficiaries of policholders who died and in a very short space of tirne had policy benefits available in the many cases where they were needed.

Life insurance benefit payments to "living" policyholders accounted for 59 per cent of the 1960 aggregate, or $4, 773,500,000. This was a year's gain of 8 per cent and was more than double the amount of such payments nine years previous.

These "living" benefit payments included $673,100,000 paid under matured endowments; $123,800,000 in disability payments; $722,000,000 in annuity payments, exclusive of dividend's; $1,633,400,000 paid in cash values; and $1,621,200,000 in policy dividends.

Some $3,346,100,000 were paid in benefits in 1960 to the families of policyholders who died, a record total and 8 per cent increase over the 1959 total.

In addition to their life policy and annuity benefits, American families received $2,596,900,000 in health insurance benefits under their health policies with life insurance companies, 8 per cent more than the year before.

"Overall, the $10,716,500,009 in benefits of all types . paid out by the nation's life insurance companies in 1960 can be considered a major factor in the stability of our national economy," said Mr..

Johnson. "When one considers that in the great majority of cases these funds were primarily for basic family living expenses, the vital economic role of the life insurance business is apparent."

Lo, the Poor Senior Citizen!

A few weeks ago a Senate Subcommittee held some special sessions at Miami.

Its purpose was to discuss the plight of the so-called Senior Citizens of this country.

After each day's sessions, the papers carried stories of how awful the aged were being mistreated and neglected.

One after another presented some scheme for aiding these unfortunates-all financed by the Federal Government.

And so we shall see a strong drive made to increase the Social Security benefits. Then to promote the Forand Bill, or some other such, legislation to provide hospital services for the aged.

Already some Congressmen, their hearts aching for us old men and women are proposing special grants of cash or credit for emergency needs.

One of our Indiana Congressmen who was up fo re-election last year, gave us an example. The Life Underwriters Association asked him why he voted for an increase in Social Security benefits. He replied, "I have 40,000 old people voters in my district. What else could I do?

In his mind there was no question of what was good for the country, or his waters as a whole. But how to get 40,000 votes. One could not grieve too much. when his vote-buying effort failed and he was defeated.

In this day and age isn't a man su p

-posedt anyhigformsel?

Is he supposel to spend every dollar as fast as he gets it? Then to depend on the government and charity and the fringe benefits of his employer, when his income stops or slows up from any cause?

Is Thrift such a dirty word and Saving such an evil thought that we must cut them out of our vocabulary?

Are there to be no rewards for saving? Are there to be no penalties for wastefulness and useless spending?

Already, under our Federal Income Tax Law, socialistic in its conception, the ambitious are penalized for their get-upand-go. The industrious are victims of a graduated tax schedule that becomes heavier as one works harder.

On top of this vicious tax system that favors the loafer, are we to encourage extravagance and the splandering of our personal earnings? If that is to be the continued policy of our government, then God pity our grandchildren. For their national debt will be beyond redemption!

VSEITNIIK

inn. Twig

Not only will they be unable to redeem it, but they will not want to redeem it.

For their spirit will be broken. Their morale will be destroyed This is true, for history records that a spendthrift nation is a degenerating nation.

What can be done about this problem?

The answer is that there are a lot of things that can be done about it. There are a number of important groups that can have a hand in doing something about it.

There are the savings banks, the savings and loan associations, the investments house and the mutual fund organizations. All are concerned with, thrift. All are trying to encourage saving.

But the greatest potential force in this situation is the life underwriters. In the United States and Canada there are near 300,000 of them. All are well organized. all are banded together in a common cause.

These thousands of inkelligent and aggressive men and women have it in their power to meet and overcome these forces of extravagance and grasshoopper ing.

They will call on and talk with millions of prospective customers every week. They will be face to face with millions of our people on. a basis more favorable than those in any other business.

These thousa,nds of life underwriters are teaching the principles of thrift and industry and free enterprise. They have already created estates of half a trillion dollars.

But there is more to be done — so much more!

Our people are still under-insured.

The average life insurance holdings of the average home fall far short of the needs. Few, indeed, an be said to have enough, life insurance.

I am optimistic about our future.

For the great mass of our people are industrious — honest and earnest. And they want to build for themselves. They resent the attitude of our legislators with their socialistic schemes.

I believe that the common sense of our people will assert itself and prevail.

I believe that the love of independence and the hunger for opportunity — the qualities that have made North America what it is teday — still live in the hearts of our people.

I have faith in our country. I ain sure that the spirit that conquered the wilderness and made the prairie bloom, will inspire our people to march on to greater frontiers, still undeveloped, to make for richer and happier living.

And with this growth will come the

Straus 14

need for more life insurance, and higher standards of life insurance service.

So the responsibility rests upon the life underwriters today to do a better and bigger job of selling. It is a serious responsibility. For the future will depend a great deal upon the successful work of our life underwriters.

And it is a grand opportunity for patriotic service.

The small Children are looking forward to the egg hunts. From all indications, Happy, and Bunny, will lay many eggs for the Sokol children on Mr. A. T. Tirk's farm in Colleyville on Easter Sunday. The picnic baskets can be dusted off, and the car ice boxes checked, because a big day is in the planning stage.

Lodge 35 has a very nice lodge hall and so many friendly members that I felt like I was at 'home the very minute I arrived. I can't remember just when I have had so taloa, fun.

Last Sunday I attended our regular lodge meeting held at Linden Hall. I also enjoyed our meeting and I would like to give Mrs. Parma credit for announcing that all youth who did not sit in on our meetings would not receive their points. I think Mrs. Parma has a very good point here; because if our Youth doesn't learn now, some day they may not have a chance to learn. Then too, someday these youth members may be elected to an office in our lodge and the experience will be very valuable to them.

I am looking forward to our next meeting and I am in hopes the weather will be pretty so everyone can attend our meeting. I hope to see all of you there.

Readmg and Writing

If I were suddenly asked what subjects a youngster should try to master, by quick answer would be: reading and writing.

Without ability to read easily and with comprehension, where can one go ar get? Without ability to compose one's thoughts, how can one communicate?

Somewhere along the line in my lifetime, reading and writing, as primary and fundamental subjects, were belittled and downgraded.

How this happened I (don't know, but I do know that the consequence is shocking to our foremost educators, including Dr. James B. Conant, former president of Harvard.

The assumption today among far too many parents and school superintendents seems to be that the ability to read and write comes naturally, like breathing.

One needs only to look around to preceive the fallacy of such thinking.

Seated at desks in offices across the land are thousands of persons who can't spell, write an effective letter, or read and understand the contents of a trade journal.

They are stuck with mediocre jobs and their employers are stuck with them.

• • Better Management Can Increase Income From Wildlife College Station — Everyone likes to make money, and here is a possibility that many Texas farmers and ranchers may have overlooked. It could be possible to increase income by managing and harvesting the wildlife resources on the land. A new Texas Agricultural Extension service publication discusses and explains how this can be accomplished.

There is one important point to remeorther, however. All wild animals in texas are the property of the people living in the state. Game animals, including birds, fish and mammals, either head or alive, cannot be sold. Landownars may, however, lease their land for hunting and fishing privileges.

Naturally, the better the hunting or fishing, the more people will be willing to pay for the privilege. This is where the management part of the program comes in. By providing, or leaving, adequate food and cover for the land an5.mals and by properly stocking and managing the pond or lake, the landowner can insure a plentiful population of game animals.

Other factors that help determine the price of the lease are the number of people to be accornodated, facilities available and accessibility. Many landawners, especially those with fishing waters, have found it profitable to make additional facilities available to the sportsmen. Boat and cabin rental, bait selling and other extras can increase the owner's income.

Another, important point to remember is the matter of licenses. Persons who sell hunting leases are required to pur-

chase a shooting preserve license and persons who sell bait are required to purchase a bait dealer's license. They may be obtained from the Texas Game and Fish Commission, Austin.

A copy of the Extension. Service publication MP-463, "Increasing Your Income • Through Wildlife Management," may be obtained from the local county agent. Other assistance and advice may be obtained from the county agent, texas Game and Fish Commission representatives or U. S. Fish and. Wildlife Service personnel.

• • Hunting Deer hunters lucky enough to bag a buck are always faced with the problem of getting the deer out of, the woods.

This helpful hint should save some wear and tear. Tie both ends of a 15 foot rope to the rack. ,Step inside the loop and run the rope under both arms and behind your neck. Keep the rope outside your coat to prevent rope burns. As you

Wednesday, March 8, 1961 drag your buck out, both hands will be free to carry other gear.

• When you have a deer in sight, but are unable to determine its sex or the size of its rack, blow a sharp blast on a silent dog whistle. Up will come the deer's head and you will know for sure just what you're shooting at.

EXperienced horseback hunters will stand behind this tip. They keep watching the ears and eyes of their mounts.

Horses have a keen sense of hearing and are often aware of game in the area before a man.

• • A good way to ruin a well-planned hunting trip is to lose the tiny screw that fastens the ear piece to your glasses.

Yet all you need to fix it is a book of paper matches. Remove the staple from the match book cover. It will serve as a substitute for the screw until you return to civilization.

• • An old khaki shirt and trousers can be transformed into an effective comouflage suit by applying black and brown shoe dye to the material. It's a whole lot cheaper than the store-bought kind —and the ducks never know the difference.

• • Has someone ever claimed your buck after he's been bagged add tagged by you? It way be easy to switch tags, but if you write your name on a small slip of paper, slit the hide of the animal in an inconspicuous spot and silp in the proof, your troubles will be over on that score.

• • If lost duck-decoy anchors has been one of your problems, read on. This sportsman uses wheel balancing weights.

Your neighborhood garage is an ideal source. The "U" form sinks into the bottom and holds — but good.

• • A handful of metal-case shells rattling about loose in your pocket may spook game just when you're trying to make a kill.

• • Sporting Dogs You need three things to make this tip work: a dog; a station wagon and a child's play pen. When you go hunting place the dog in the pen and the pen in the car. The dog will have plenty of room to move about and all the air he needs. He will not be able to escape, unless he's a Mexican hairless, for the top of the pen is close to the wagon ceiling. It all makes for a perfect combination.

If your dog objects to eating his dog food dry try this. Add one or two tablespoons of cod liver oil and mix in it.

Watch Rover lap it up.

• • Some dogs object to being penned up and are constantly digging out from under. This trick should stop the; n and put an end to the bad habit. Bury some rocks about three inches below the surface running along the edge of the fence. If he still gets out, then he deserves his freedom.

• • Fishing Live bait one of your problems? Place some punctured beer cans in shallow water. It won't be long before soft-shelled crayfish in the area are calling the cans home-sweet-home. Retrieve the cans and you have enough bait to see you through a day's fishing.

Or, if you had rather use worms, here's a way to pick up 200 lively ones — but fast. Mash up the hulls of 20 black walnuts in three gallons of water. Splash the magic liquid over a two-toot-square area. Get ready! in 15 seconds here come the worms. Just pick 'ern up.

If you are the kind of fisherman who enjoys eating his catch while still afield, here's a little trick worth tucking away for future use. An ordinary bottle cap nailed to a piece of wood makes an emergency fish scaler. It works so well you may even want to make one for home.

Scone people eat carp. Some don't. If you are a member of the latter group, perhaps your objection is the slightly muddy taste sometimes attributed to this fish. Here's the solution. Remove the back mane before cooking. This can easily be done with a pair of plires.

If you expect that some day you may fall out of your boat while fishing, read on. Wrap your wallet in a plastic bag before venturing forth. Thus, your money will be safe and dry for your future needs, that is if you can swim. )

Soil Temperature Is Important At Planting Time College Station — In this age of mechnized cotton production, a uniform stand with desirable spacing is a must. Since such a stand requires precise planting operations, both equipment improvements and planting practices are important. It is also important to take full advantage of the growing season by obtaining a satisfactory stand the first planting.

One guide to use is aiming for maximum germination of the first planting is soil temperature. Temperature is a major factor in seed germination and cottonseed germinates poorly at temperatures lower than 70 degrees F. It has also been proven that seedlings grow Imre slowly and less vigorously at the lower temperatures. In order to determine the accuracy of soil temperature as a guide to planting dates, the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station conducted a series of tests at the Lubbock substation. One of the /findings was that minimum soil temperatures at an eightinch deep for the ten-day period , preceding planting were useful as planting guides.

It was also found that cotton seedlings emerged in five to nine days when the preplanting soil temperatures at eight-inch depth averaged 60 degrees F. or above for . ten days. But up to' fifteen. days were required for seedling emergence when the average soil temperature was lower.

Another advantage of using soil temperatures instead of currently recommended dates as a planting guide is that it allows earlier or later planting, depending on current weather conditions.

Anyone desiring more information on the tests conducted by the Experiment Station should write the Agricultural Information Office, College Station, Texas, and request a copy of MP-465, "Soil Temperature — A Guide to Timely Cotton Planting."

Golden Rule Needed

By Drivers The application of the "Golden Rule" has recently been suggested to drive home our moral responsibility with regard to highway safety. The idea makes good sense, in the viewpoint of J. 0. Musick, General Manager of the Texas Safety Association, but the citizen driver must also be armed with some hard facts.

In a recent survey, drivers exempted themselves from the likelihood of an accident for these four reasons: 1. They always look out for pedestrians 2. They drive fast only on straight highways when the weather is clear and dry 3. Their car is in good mechanical condition, and

48.They are experienced drivers.

Now let's look at the statistical record: (1) One-third of the pedestrians killed (over a given year) were jaywalkers, i.e, they pop out from behind parked cars; (2) 76 per cent of the vehicles involved in accidents were traveling straight ahead, and four out of five accidents occurred in clear weather and on dry roads; (3) Studies support the fact that most accidents involve cars with no apparent defects, and (4) The drivers with less than one year's experience constitute only 7 per cent of all motorists, yet were in only 3.4 per Cent of all fatal accidents recorded.

The Texas Safety Association wholeheatedly supports the Golden Rule application in our approach to the highway safety problem; but adds this one suggestion: Good driving calls for more than good sense -- it calls for good at titude.

Wednesday, March 8,1§61 Do Bugs Write Letters?

A guest at a hotel was bitten by bugs.

So when he arrived home he wrote a letter of complaint to the management.

Back came a reply stating that his was the first such complaint they had ever received. The management was at a loss to explain how such a thing could happen.

They stated that stringent precautions would inc tawne to see that this would not happen again.

The guest was feeling better about the situation when out of the envelope fell this slip of paper: "Send this guy the bug letter." ) • 4 • ( Financial inability to pay for entertainment makes it easy to conclude a romance.
