PODPORA LIDSKOST BRATRSTVI 19. DUBNA (APRIL) 1961

NAgE SPOLKOVE SNAZENi Jegte bychom se radi vratili k to poznamce jednoho elena, — ze se u nich v tadu "nic nedela". Ten kdo sam nic nedela anebo nechce delat, jiste nema pra,vo k takove stiZnosti.

Vgude tarn kde chceme budovat nagi Jednotu aby ten na g spoleenY podnik zdarne prospival tak aby na ge vegkere elenstvo melo co nejvet gi uZitek, musime se jedenkaZdY dle svYch schopnosti do nageho snaZeni zapojit.

Spolkova prate nemtZe prospivat, kez` se na to spolehame, ze jen nage kadove rikednici maji starost a zodpovednost ye vedeni spolku. Mt gete se jedenkaZdy o torn ptesvedeiti, ze tam kde jsou kado ye schtze poeetne nav gtevovane se i einnost znaei, kad poeetne roste a jest trvaly zajem elenstva.

Pamatujme na to, ze Jednota na ge ne byla a neni budovana jen na chvilku, nejen pro nas, ale byla budovana a jest dosud fizena tak, aby eestne mohla dostati vgem zavazktm nejen v pNtomnosti, ale 1 v budoucnosti vg em tem, kteti pkijdou po nas, je pro na ge deti a vnuky, a proto je na gi povinnosti pomahati dle nagich schopnosti.

6asto slygime elena Jednoty tvrditi, u nich jiZ neni mono nove elenstvo ziskati, ale obyeejne takove tvrzeni pronagi Men, kterY se o ziskani noveho diena bud' vtibec nepokusil aneb takovY, kterY po prvnim nezdaru "hodil flintu do Zita." — Pamatujme, Ze v praci agitaeni, tak jak v kaZde jine, jen vytrvalost vede k cili. Pov gimnete si laskave ye zprave bratra mistopkedsedy, jak nektere ty na ge kady se pkieiriuji.

PeknYmi, kroky spejeme v tomto roce k vyteenemu cili. Je to jiste radost zorovati, jak pkihla gky se mnoZi a prace nagich sester a bratrii organisatorti nese ovoce.

Dnes kdy vYdeleene spoleenosti rozviji usilovnou einnost a zisk'avaji po stech elenech jest i narn titeba napnouti kde kterou snit a pracovati v gichni spoleene aby ten na g dorost byl ziskan do nagleh kad.

Neeekejme, ze tuto praci za nas nada jinY udela a proto jegte jednou, Pomahejme nagim sestram a bratrfim organisatoriim kde jen mono, soustavne a vytrvale. Vgude tam kde se je gte agitovati vtlbec nezaealo tam by se toho meli uchopitt dbali bratki a dati neteenosti vYhost. Cela na ge Jednota, bude se s cdiveni vagi einnosti radovati.

Kdyby nekolik tadi v na gi Jednote se dalo k zahajeni takove elenske kampano pohnouti, mohlo by se s pomoci nageho organisaeniho odboru a bratra Joe B. Hejnyho s toho vyvinouti celostatni. kampari.

Vge to co jsme zde vzpomeli, je k ziskavani vetgiho poetu noveho elenstva a k posileni nagi Jednoty. Chci timto vgem pkipomenouti, ze vgem nam by melo b'yti starati se a ptieiriovati se, ,aby nage SPJST rostla, coZ posloai n' vgem, nagi Jednote a v gem kteki pc) nas vedeni ptevezmou.

Byla to podet ne nejvetdi, "Ndrodni Jednota Sokolska" zvana, "ModrY Sokol;" iupa FuegnerTyrd," zvand, "Sokol dervenY," a "Delnicky Sokol" s a,drninistrativou v Novem Yorku. ModrY Sokol bylo oznadeni die modreho kroje, na nemg se americke Sokolstvo ustanovilo z dirvodu praktickYch i z drivodri americko-patriotickYch. Jednoty gupy Fuegner-Tyrd, Cerveneho Sokola, ugivaly kroj privodni, jako Sokol ye stare vlasti, a s jistou zmenou i Delnick Sokol na vYchode.

ACkoliv nebylo mezi temito tremi skupinami administrativni jednoty spiSe jen snahy soute geni, jet mogno nazvati zdravou plodnou "fevnivosti," v .dobe Sle• tu nejen vdekere Sokolstvo, ale celd, krajanskd amerika, jako pod kouzelnym proutkem ocitla se v mimorddnem spantannim naddeni, v ndrodnim svatku, projevenem tak krasne a mohutne, jakYch jsme nebyli od to doby svedky. Nejen Chieago, dejidte Sletu, ale celd krajanske Obec .americka, podchycena byla zapalem krasneho, hrejiveho naddeni.

Pfispela k tomu ovdem -okolnost, ge na Elet pfijadela take .prvni hromadna vYprava sokolska, z Vlasti, vedend nim starostou Ceske ' Oboe Sokolske, Dr. Josef em 'Scheinerem, obsahujici i preborni drugstvo vedene oblibenYm technikatern F. Erbenem, a znamYm poslancem Vdclavem Klofdeem, representujicich starou Vlast. teastnil jsem se Sletu jako cvidenec i jako vYbor a mdm na nej nehynouci vzpominky, a snad kagdY, kdog jej progival. Jen povrchne je mogno naznaditi projevy verejne, ale te gko je Mei, co progivalo tehdy Ceske srdce.

Vlastnim poildatelem sletu byla N6,rodni Jednota. Sokolskd, jeji g VYkonny VYbor sidlil v New Yorku. Tam take sletove naddeni za,podalo s prijezdem hosta z Vlasti. Tamejdi vYbor sorganisoval celou uvitaci vYpravu, najmul pro ni lod' "Sycamore", jet jela na more poselstvu z ' naproti. Vypravoval nam o tom poslanec Klorde, jake dojmy to zpilsobi-

Vdak co to? neklame nag sluch? — Vgdyt' slydime zaznivat nahymnu: "Kde domov — si Zde na ve stinu sochy Svobody? — Piatele, nedovedete si predstavit to el.tove pohnuti nas vdech Cechu. na palube. Vdichni pladem a cizinci nestadi s Udasti se yyptavat, co tato seena znamena." — Ne merle net 300 neastnikii na Lodi Sycamore pro givalo stejne, do srdce zarYvajici dojmy. — Chicagske krajany zpravy z Noveho Yorku elektrisovaly na tolik, ge vydavatelstva deskYch deniku vyslala tarn sve zpravodaje, ktefi podrobneji popisovali prijezd prijezd host(' z vlasti. New Yorske slavnosti, doprovazene spontanim naddenim krajanske obce tamejdi. Poukazovali zejmena na zdplavu deskYch praporn a narodnich dekoraci, ureujice, ge v to veci se nesmi clad. Chicago zahanbit! — Drisledek tohoto apelu byl prekvapujici. Jelikok zde deskYch prapora v prodeji nebylo, zadaly se na rychlo vyrabet v nadich deskYch obchodech a prodavat v takovem tempu, ge vdichni prodavadi byli vYrobou zamestnani, ale nestadili frontam kupujicich. Velika firma, "American Flag Company," Vyprodala do posledni pra,porove tyde a jests nestadila se zasobou.

Nejinak tomu bylo s dekoraci ostatni; dervenobilYch zaclon v oknech dekorace transparentri visicich na domech a pies ulici prima v zdplave. Kdy g Oak ocitly se node desire etvrte, zejmena stare Plzen, v pine nadhere, pridel celodenni silnY dedt' a znieil celou nakladnou dekoraci. To vdak neodradilo ducha naddeni a dekorovalo se znova do to miry, pokud bylo mogno jests v Chicagu dostat dekorativni dervenou a bilou latku. Nebylo jedineho pribytkuu, kde bydlel krajan, aby nebyl ozdoben prapory a sokolskYmi hesly za okny. Nebylo zde rozdilu nabogenskYch, ani jinak ideovYch, tlouklo zde jednotne Ceske srdce v lasce k svemu rode!co poselstvo z Vlasti navdtevovalo nektera vYchodni mesta, v Chicagu se vystupriovalo narodni nadSeni do krajnosti, joke nebylo historii krajanske Ameriky pametnika; v ptiprave na ktere vyznelo triumfalne, nikoliv co osobarn, nYbr g co representantrim narodni idee, ji g Sokolstvo ma ye dtitu.

K oficielnimu uvitani v Plzeriskem Sokole jell veder hosts z Hotelu Atlantic od Halsted ulice po 18. ulici a g k budoye dpalirem Sokolstva a spolkri po eel& deice s masami obecenstva, ktere jasa-

Strum II 10 hosttim vstric, a spole6ne Cetlo velike navesti: "Co srdce poji more nerozdvoji." — A Slet sam! PM kfigovatce ulic Ogden a Pulaski bylo te s improvisovanYmi tribunami, ktere vdak nestadily navalu. Ji g samotny prirvod od Plzeriskeho Sokola a g na sletidte byl velkolepY, jak dnes by se te gko sorganisoval.

TelocvionY program na tehdej g dobu nebyl tak technicky obsahlY a slo gitY jako vykazovaly slety pozdejdi a vykazuji dens, ale pro divaky nebylo to jen predvedeni telesne vychovy sokoiske, nYbrg byl to triumf narodni kultury ze strany cvidicich, a jests vice triumf n'arodniho ducha ze strany obecenstva.

Po tomto prvnim sletu v Americe dodlo k podetnejdimu rozvetveni sokolskYch fad a k jeho technickemu zdokonalo ydni tak, ge ug bylo mogno pozdejd'i slety konati na Vojenskem Poli a krajanskO, Obec dnes je dokonale seznamena s yYznamem sokolske instituce v ndrode, jak po strance telesne vYchovy, tak i po strance narodni idee.

Ve stare vlasti jrneno "Sokol" je ureovane k zdniku, ac telovYchovnY jeho programu mute bYti treba i technicky„ tlakem vladniho re gimu prekonan, ale nikdy nenahradi bohatyrskou ideu Tyrdovu a Fuegnerovu. Americkd vetev skeho naroda mnohokrate mluvila a jednala za ndrod doma, nu ge, at' i tento SokolskY slet je rovne g mluveim, za celY naroda v tomto duchu at' je pozdrayen jednotnou mysli vdech rids krajanti v Americe a jinde po svete!! At' je znovu givoucim pfinosem kulture naroda, at' je znova narodnim svedomim krajanske Ameriky.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT To the Editor of Publications Of the National Fraternal Congress Gentlemen: This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the U. S. Savings Bonds Program.

During these years the American people have improved their savings habits to the point where, as you know, liquid savings in their hands are more than $325 billion.

You too have played an important Part in this achievement — as have your lodges and their members.

We are grateful to the Fraternal Activities Association for making it possible for you to receive this story. With many thanks for your cooperation and heartiest congratulations on the 75th Anniversary of the National Fraternal Congress, I am Sincerely, Wm. H. Neal e 4 e

Houston Public Library Houston, Texas Dear Editor: Enclosed is some copy on National Library Week and the importance of reading. I hope you will be able to include it in the Vestnik and particularly in the issue for the week of April 16-22.

Encouraging constant reading of newspapers, magazines and books to stimulate lifetime reading habits among young people and adults is a cause I feel sure you will help us encourage. I will appreciate your help and sincerely hope the article will be of benefit to the young readers of the Vestnik.

Sincerely yours, Ann Hornak, Assistant Director • National Library Week was launched in the Spring of 1958 with the slogan "Wake Up and Read!" It was the first concerted nation-wide effort to focus public attention on reading as a source of personal fulfillment, on the importance of reading in our national life,

Straus 13

VESTNIK—WES1'.TEXAS and on the libraries which, if used fully and supported properly, can make reading materials accessible to everybody.

For the fourth year National Library Week, April 16 through April 22, is being celebrated in Houston by the Houston Public Library and by libraries throughout the nation.

This week, National Library Week, is a good time for each of us to examine his own reading habits.

We can encourage the developnent of good reading habits in the children and youth of America beginning but not ending with our own. We can think about and institute, participate in, or encourage projects which aim at this extremely worthwhile objective.

People generally like to do what they can do well If we are not good readers, we can correct this deficiency amaizingly swiftly and inexpensively, and we can do tnis in the privacy of our own homes.

Reading is fun with profit.

An Englishman once met Mark Twain on a train in Europe and startled him by saying abruptly, "Mr. Clemens, I would give ten pounds not to have read your `Huckleberry Finn'!" And when Twain looked up, awaiting an explanation of this extraordinary remark, the Englishman smiled and added. "So that I could have again the great pleasure of reading it for the first tim,v."

Knowledge is tile father of wisdom.

It enables us to enjoy life more fully.

It gives us the power to see and to understand. It is the telescope which permits us to survive the continually expanding horizons of mankind's frontiers where we are seeking to comprehend and p rester the forces of nature. But it is also the microscope with which we may come to know ourselves and those about us better.

Knowledge enables us to be more successful in business; to, become more proficient in whatever we do. With it we become more fully developed persons, more entertaining persons, more understanding persons. We become happier peojle, better equipped to help others and ourselves.

Personal reading habits are fixed by the interplay of many forces in the schools, in the home and in general atmosphere of our culture; National Library Week can only be a contributing factor. The ultimate total effect of such a program can be measured only in the degree to which it strengthens all continuing year-round efforts for the spread of reading and the support of libraries. The achievements of National Library Week, this year, next year and in evident as its objectives become more

and more a part of citizen activity in every area of American life.

Some Thoughts In our SPJST we have many lodges which are ably led by leaders, who do the numerous tasks which often go funnoticen. They were elected as officers because the majority felt that they are the type of members who do not dodge responsibilities, but are able to lace them, accept them and solve them. Each office carries with it a certain amount of anxiety, onerous and trying work, which is the price we pay for success. Sometimes we think that our work is not appreciated, but we must remember that the rest of us who comprise the membership of each lodge, are the sailors, who have entrusted faith in our leaders. Often we do not see them, but they are busy each hour, planning and guiding our lodge.

Here is a bouquet of roses to all of our lodge officers everywhere. May they continue to enjoy their work in our SP= and help us in giving our Brotherhood the best year of our 64 anniversary possible, many new members, eager to continue the work which our fathers and we have dovoted so much time and energy to. Good luck to each and everyone of you! ) 4 • (-

Are You Writing A News Story?

The ABC of Writing a news story is to tell—who, why, what, when, where and how. After you have written your story, check it against the five W's and thehow.

The editor wants all the facts and the necessary details, including the full ,names and addresses of local persons involved and any identifying titles they may have.

You naturally will want every story you give the editor to be as accurate and iniportial as though it has been prepared by his own report.

In fact, when you give a story to an editor, you in effect become a member of his reporting staff. He can rely on you as a dependable and discriminating news source by publishing the material you prepare.

Don't misinform your Editor or make inistakes that will reflect adversely on him and his paper as this will make him feel that his confidence in you is misplaced. If you do, he won't trust you a second time.

As an Editor he receives dozens of publicity stories which he puts under news, from his friend's.

A good many of these march across his desk into the wastebasket because he considers them to be free advertiSin,g that should have been bought and paid for, as some of the Dance Bands, for example.

Sometimes we think after a brief ex amination of your story, you should have addressed your letter to the advertising department.

Thanks for you giving this matter your friendly consideration. ) e 4 o

Have You Moved?

Where do you live now? Did you send in your new address so that our Organ could reach you? — Week after week we recieve. Organs with notices: "Moved, left no forwarding address." — We do not have any other way to find out, which way you went, unless members heed our advice and send a notice of address change together with their old address and the number of their lodge.

—Please mail such information direct to our Supreme Lodge, Box 400, Temple T.'exas.

Thank yoU. • 4 • "No wonder women live longer than men. Look how long they are girls."

Betty Jurica, Secty. Dist 7 4, 4 • (—_ FOOD AND YOUR BODY We think it is a good idea, once in a while, to emphasize the PDachine-like qualities of the human body. We should not forget that food is the fuel that operates the physical engine upon which life itself depends.

Eating is not only a prime function of existence, but it is also one of the most important. Every individual, and particularly our young people„ should be thoroughly informed as to the principles of good diet and the peculiar values of carious toods.

Inasmuch as the meals of the average American family are under the control and supervision of the wife and mother, it is the duty of these homemakers to study and' understand the proper preparation of food, its specific properties and the value and necessity of variety in the family's daily diet.

We are not suggesting that individuals become (foodranatics or that our readers, take up any of the various fads that afflict the public. We do advise every woman, who is 'supervising the feeding of human beings to study food, diets, calories, vitamins and the other data now available with regard to foods. The

Pecan Man of West on Channel 10 TV Our Organizer, Brother John Kostohryz of Lcd'ge Jaromir 54 of West, presented the art of Peca,n Grafting and Budding on Chanel Ten's "Ten Acres" program, Tuesday at 12 noon.

Also known as the Pecan Man of West, Brother Kostohryz demonstrated the different methods of grafting and budding pecan trees for the large papershell varieties in popular demand. This is the third consecutive season that Brother Kostohryz has been requested to' give his demonstration.

Using a sealing solution of beeswax, rosin and parafin mix, Brother Kostohryz showed how to paint the broken surfaces of the bark where the grafts and buds were installed, how to tie the grafts and buds into the bark, and how to apply a support, or splint, so that the. blowin,g wind won't work the graft out of place and dry it out. He explained that the string should be cut in about three weeks, so as not to strangle the growing tree (on limbs half-inch thick) but that the string should not be removed as it is held. with the wax-parafin mixture.

Besides pecan trees, Brother Kostohryz also grafts. Japanese persimmons,' which he claims bring more money in that do pecans.

He . had a very interesting talk and demonstrationand a profitable and interesting hobby. His new assistant, young and handsome Mr. Moseley, is learning the art from Brother Kostohryz and together they can leave a trail of wonderful pecan trees in Texas like Johnny Appleseed left a trail of apple trees to his glory. more widespread such information becomes, the better will the health anid bOdily growth of the people.

One will find that with small effort each day can be made a little snore interesting and a great deal of variety can be added to the daily routine. If you don't know how to start, buy a couply of cookbooks, preferably one or two describing foreign dishes, and begin by preparing several of the recipes yourself.

1.• Modern Rest Homes In Our State

Strana

from the Texas Health Bulletin There are 623 nursing and custodial care homes in Texas with a total of 16,209 beds available to patients according to the latest figures compiled by the Division of Nursing and Convalescent Home Licensure. These 600-plus homes range in quality from resort hotels to hospital wards.

They are well policed by local and state authorities charged with the responsibility of maintaining high Texas standards for nursing homes required by State law. Care of the aged has become big business in some instances and in other instances, it has become a serious responsibility.

One of the major problems facing the people who must inspect and license Texas' nursing homes is the fact that too many hcmes are priced out of range for old people who ofte,n need the proper custodial care the most. About 10 per cent of all nursing and custodial care homes operating in Texas are non-profit homes — most of these are church supported or supervised. The rest are operated for profit.

The hard fact of the matter is that running a nursing home the way it needs to be operated, for the health and safety of its patients, is an expensive proposition. There are many itursing homes in Texas, maintained in a profit basis which earnestly try to keep costs down and pass the savings on in the form of lower rates for patients. Too often, something must be sacrificed — either quality or low income patients.

More and more Texas counties are beginning to recognize this problem and are doing something about it. However, the old-time county poor house isn't the answer any longer — and Texans know it! Today the problem is often solved With a unique combination of professional homes operating under the aegis of partial economic aid from the county.

McLennan, County has demonstrated how well such a cooperative' approach can work!

Operating for several years in Waco was a nursing home managed by Elvira Spencer, a negro woman who felt she needed to take care of old folks who had no way of taking care of themselves.

She set up operations in her modest home, "making do with what I could manage." She charged her patients a monthly fee — often the bare minimum pension. When Albin Sulak, Waco's conscientious sanitarian, made !his rounds,

vESTNtK—WMT,TEXAB he immediately spotted infractions of standards he needed to uphold.

On the other hand, he couldn't bring himself to close the place down when Elvira Spencer was obviously making an 'honest effort to comply with the regulations, and at the same time keep as many patients as she could find room for.

The struggle reached an impasse — either close up the place or spend money not available to, bring the home up to the minimum standards. The solution was found during a meeting of Sulak, the county commissioners and the fire marshal. The men decided that if the home' closed the burden of caring for the: oldsters would fall upon the county. Such an obligation could be assumed well enough, but Why not strike a comnromise! The county would build a firstclass nursing heave meeting or surpassing all state and city requirements.

However, the county would then lease it to Elvira Spencer for a dollar a year and she could operate it as she saw fit, provided the minimum standards were followed.

This was nothing new for McLennan County. The county had built a modern 'home for white residents and leased it under a similar agreement.

Meanwhile, Albin Sulak and Rip Davis, assistant fire marshal, stretched the rulings a little by requesting the Texas State Department of Health to permit the Spencer Nursing Home to continue operating in the same location until the new county home was completed.

"Believe me," explained Sulak, "there were nights I had trouble sleeping from working about it."

However, everything went well until the sparkling new home was finished. In late January, Elvira Spencer moved her patients to the new location. The day was one for genuine jubilation.

To describe' the home, would be to describe dozens of ather top-notch nursing homes in Texas. However, one of the outstanding features are' the ward wings with glassed walled halls. The bedrooms are cubicles opening onto the hall. They may be shut off from the hall with accordion-type doors, allowing complete privacy, or opened wide to get the full benefit of the glass walled halls.

The kitchen, too is efficiently designed and spotless. "And we aim to keep it that way," claims Elvira. And she will, Five nurses are on the staff, led by a registered nurse — another is a licensed vocational nurse and the three others are practical nurses. Between them there is always at least one skilled nurse on duty. In addition to the nursing staff there are cool ward personnel and a caretaker.

Wednesday, April 19, 1961 McLennan County also furnished the home with necessary equipment including beds, tables, chairs, kitchen equipment and an ample supply of liner. and blankets. Elvira Spencer furnishes everything else. She salvaged what she could from the old home, but there was not much.

The Spencer Home, like all other good nursing homes, has a spirit of real affection glowing from the people who work for Mrs. Spencer. She bubbles forth enthusiasm and affection for her va:vore than ample form and it seems to spread to all who work with her At present there are 29 members in the home. The total capacity is 32„ with room for expansion if the need arises in later years. The large dining and meeting area separates the two wings — one for women. Also in the central portion are the kitchen, laundry and mending facilities and offices. The Spencers building, One thing sure, it is an almost unreal improvement over the old home. The brand new home sparkles and Elvira intends to keep it that way. To some doubting Thomases in McLennan County, wondering about how well the home will be maintained, a few minutes watching Elvira go about managing the Spencer Home will show them that there is a way.

Reminder on Hiring Children Farmers and Commercial growers in Texas have been reminded that they may not hire children under 16 to work in the fields when school is in session.

This warning came from Regional Director William J. Rogers of the U.S. Labor Department's Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Division in Dallas, the agency which administers the federal Child Labor Law. "To protect themselves from unintentiona lviolation of the law, farmers should ask for and obtain a certificate of age from each youngster," Rogers' said.

In Texas, these certificates are issued as a public service by the Texas Employment Commission.

Thrift Is Twenty! )n May 1, 1941, the President bought a Series E. Defense Bond from the Secretary of the Treasury, and the U. S. Savings Bonds pragraor.4 began.

Twenty years and more than two billion E Bonds later, the program stands at the top of its success, with Americans owning a record $43 billion in E (and companionSeries H) Bonds. They buy $8 million worth every working day through the Payroll Savings Plan alone, and every minute of the day and night they add an automatic $2,300 worth of interest on their savings.

Impressive sure — but how does that justify the title "Thrift Is Twenty" — as if you can place an age on any virtue?

Especially thrift, which is as old as man?

And haw can Savings Bonds claim the credit?

Well, maybe it's exaggerated. But the fact remains that the bond program has done more to stimulate thrift in all forms than anything that's ever happened. Liquid assets of all varieties have grown more than fourfould since 1940, giving the American people a tidy nestegg of $325 billion today as a personal and national economic bulwark. And the bond program — a dramatic, dynamic demonstration of volunteers at work — has spearheaded the effort, making successful savers out of frustrated fritterers, confident planners out of discouraged drifters.

The Payroll Savings Plan, with its magic formula making the $18.75 minimum bond price divisible over a number of paydays, was the biggest factor in lifting the nation's thrift habits out of the doldrums and getting the bond program on the road.

Or perhaps not quite the biggest. The biggest was World War II, which on December 7, 1941, brought a quick change from( "Defense" to "War" Bonds. The bond program thereupon became a rallying-ground for home-front activities.

Volunteers in every field already active during the defense mobilization period, now sprang to their country's aid through the war finance program. From movie stars to newspaper carriers, from women's clubs to union locals, from schools to variety stores, from fraternal groups to insurance brokers, from Wall Street to Main Street, Americans joined the, drive to promote greater and still greater bond sales.

Irking wives had trouble keeping trek of all the bonds, between their own purchases and the ones their GI husbands were sending home. (This is frankly exaggerated; women, in peace

ITESTNilr %MST, TEXAS

or war, always know everything there is to know about family resources — and on V-J Day, every wife from coast to coast knew to the penny the extent of the bright financial future awaiting her family).

Human enterprises traditionally start strell and work their way up — but it was not true in this case. The U. S. Savings Bonds program, under the forced draft of global conflict and a staggering war-financing burden, had apparently reached its climax at a tender age. Logically, it should have been wrapped up and laid to rest in the archives when its wartime mission was ended.

Most peora,e, including many experts, thought that it would be. The only question was how long it would take the American people to liquidate their holdings. Gloomy forecasters pondered the inflationary results of a flood of bond redemptions upon an economy still starving for consumer goods. And even if that exentuality could be forestalled, what chance was there that people would keep on buying bonds in the absence of wartime fervor?

On both counts, the public upset the dope bucket. They spent generously out of their new-found riches, but not recklessly. What they spent was tglostly for important immediate needs — new homes, new cars, new opportunities. They salted away the rest for greater needs later on, like college educations for their children, or perhaps even for their retirement years. By early 1946 they still owned some $30 billion in Series B Bonds.

Millions of Americans had learned how to save for the first time in their lives, thanks to the convenience of payroll savings and other autorr4atic bondpurchasing methods. It was a food habit, too good a promise for a brighter future to throw away. So they stayed with it.

Business and banking leaders, the ad-, vertisin,g industry, and others concerned with the Nation's economic Welfare, supported the Treasury's decision to continue the Savings Bonds program as a vital tool in debt-management operations. The nation-wide volunteer organization affirmed its willingness to go forward on a permanent basis. Community groups, labor, educators, and others prominently identified in the wartime bond program remained on the volunteer team as active and effective members. So the program has gone forward, building steadily to this day.

Since the day the program started in 1941, the public has spent around $75 billion of its E Bond savings for homes, for education, for travel and retirement.

The impact of this regular overflowing

Spa'i17

of savings reservoir is visible everywhere, most of all in the effect it has had oit local bussiness stability. And(despite the billions already spent, Americans to, day own more Series E and H Bonds than ever before—a $43 billion backlog of future spending power distributed throughout all of the communities of the nation.

In fast-moving, free-spending, modern America, "thrift" has an old-fashioned sound. But ever since the Savings Bonds program began selling the idea through showmanship and volunteers, its stodginess has been fast slipping away. Other savings media, too, have profited from this new popularity — and today's record savings prove that Americans now realize thrift doesn't mean putting money into the ground. It means putting it to work for exciting things in the future.

Nowadays people are reaffirming their belief that savings are a personal right something which they owe therrNselveS. Thrift may still be pronounced the same, but its letters spell "opportunity."

It dates back to that first B Band — May 1, 1941. So Thrift is twenty years old, this year. ) 4, •

Brother Kacir ended the Ceremonies

by Congratulating Brother Cervenka and stated all shall have a good time and' to do what ever they wish. It was a nice gathering and was nice seeing the Sisters and Brothers Shaking hands and exchanging friendly chats.

Attention Members of District Seven San Antonio, Texas _fear Members, Youth and Friends: Please read carefully the announcement and program from brother John Stasa, secretary of Lodge No. 56 "Anton Cermak" about district seven meeting which will be held in their hall Sunday, April 30, 1961. Also do ,not overlook the invitation to all of you from sister Betty Jurica, District Seven secretary.

As my part as District Youth leader; concerns, I wish to add that we have to talk over all business to be carried out this year, therefore, it is highly important that all Lodge Youth leaders from district seven be present. We need your ideas, and with your help working all together we will be able to reach our goal. It is the only way to accotwlish our plans and succeed in our Lodges, District and the whole SPJST. I'd be glad to hear from officers and delegates, as well as from organizers of lodges in our ;district about their problems concerning Youth activity, also the reasons why they still have not organized a Youth Club and have not a Youth leader. The district meeting is the proper place for discussions of this kind and you can bring back to your lodges new ideas and get active. I am sure that Brother Joe B. Ilejny, our vice-president and State Youth Leader, will be more than glad to help us opt.

Because Corpus Christi is in the area of good fishing and many other famous sports, take this opportunity and go for the weekend to the coast to try. "Good Luck." By the way, as Sunday, April 30, is in many countries (except the United States) the second April Fool's Day, so don't fool anybody and make your plans to come there to meet good old friends and make new ones.

We will be glad to see visitors from all corners of the State of Texas, and we officers of District Seven will be happy to shake hanlds with everybody.

See you all in Corpus Christi, Sunday April 30, 1901.

• • From the Texas Game and Fish Coln.

Austin. — Of all the predacious birds, the hawk faaxily is the most persecuted and the least understood, according to Jerome Kasten in his article, "Hawk, Friend or Foe?" in the April issue of "Texas Game and Fish" magazine. This includes hawks, kites, harriers, and eagles.

The good these birds do far outweight the bad. For instance, the major part of a kite's diet reads like the role of the scourge of the land (beetles, moths, locusts, dragonflies, crickets, wasps, cater pillars, and other insects). Farmers would have a greater appreciation for these birds if they knew of this diet, writes the author. "No excuse can be made for the extermination of kites.

They are 'harmless, helpful, and easily recognized. Yet, their numbers are ever diminishing in the state."

Kasten's article is taken from a study he made in Texas. His findings reveal some interesting facts about the hawk family. For instance, the farmer who is lucky enough to have an osprey or two nesting on his land need never worry about other hawks. The osprey never eats poultry and makes a habit of keeping other hawks well away form its nesting grounds. And the sparrow hawk is almost exclusively insectivorous, and therefore a benefactor to the farmer.

"One bad act, such as -a hawk making off with a chicken," writes Kasten, "causes many persons to conclude that all hawks should be killed. They fail to consider that this same hawk may catch field mice as well. A reduction in the

Strana 25 number of hawks will certainly remove one effective check on rodents."

• • Austin — Fishing season on Lake Sheldon, •near Houston, opened April 1 under adverse conditions, according to Howard Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission. The season on Lake Sheldon has been closed to fishing during the waterfowl season.

All of the geese and practically all of the ducks which made a winter home at Sheldon now have gone to the northern nesting grounds.

High winds in the lake area the day before the season opening stirred up the water, leaving it almost too murky for fishing. As a result, the take of bass was', very small. However, a few carp were taken.

Rough fish were killed in Sheldon during the restoration program there four years ago. However, last fall Lake Houston got out of banks and there was a meeting of Lake Houston and Lake Sheldon water, and it is believed that a nummer of carp were deposited in Sheldon Reservoir as a result.

Several 7-pound bass were taken from Sheldon last year. There has been an early spawn this season, and there is every indication that fishing will be good again when the weather conditions permit.

• Austin — Don't pick up young of the wild. This is the warning of Capt. E. M. Sprott, director of law enforcarkent of the Game and Fish Commission.

This is the time of the year when many babes of the woods stroll out in the open. They are tame and curious, and there is a tendency on the part of most people to take them home.

In the first place, according to Capt.

Sprott, this is illegal. Just as important is the fact that the wild can take care of itself much better in the wild than might be done by individuals. There are a few cages, he points out where lives of animals have been saved and landowners take care of them after something has happened to the mother. However, when an individual picks up a lawn or any other animal and takes it home, the animal actually has much less chance of survival.

Very frequently, these babies are lifted by hurnans while the mother is standing camouflaged behind a tree.

He also warns against raiding bird nests, although this practice has decreased, in recent years. ) ( -Many people have many different forms of exercise, but chinning at the bar seems to be a favorite form for some.

Language Resources Project Moves Ahead In September, 1960, many newspapers and journals carried an announcement that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare had commissioned a research project of great interest to all Americans. This was the "Language ReSources Project" which has as its goal the gathering of information concerning the efforts of &perican ethnic groups to preserve and perpetuate in this country their non-English mother-tongues.

The commissioning of this project was greeted with acclaim because it recoghind and brought together two great needs that had previously existed in isolation to each other.

The first great need recognized by the Language Resources Project is the need for many more individuals with advanced skills in various critical languages.

Our country simply Deeds more people who have a genuine grasp of languages other than English in order to maintain and strengthen its comoaercial, diplomatic, and cultural ties with other parts of the world. As a result of this need, the federal government has been supporting language programs in many colleges and universities for several years.

Typically, these programs attempt to give intensive instruction in a particular language to students who begin as strangers to this language in-so-far as their own family backgroubds are concerned.

However, it occurred to a few scholars that there are millions of Americans that do have a language other than English as part of their faO pily background and group heritage. These are Americans who come from other countries themselves, or who are the children or grand children of immigrants. In all of these cases, a language other than English has been spoken, heard, and understood — at times, imperfectly or haltingly, and at times, with full native command. This is a result of the factor that Americans coming from other countries brought with them a genuine love for their mother tongues, a love which is in no way in conflict with their love for their new country. As a result, they have attempted to teach their non-English mother tongues to their children and grandchildren. They have organized and sponsored organizations, publications, schools and religious institutions to help preserve their cultural and linguistic heritages. Many of these continue to function to this very day and are effective forces in preserving these very

Strana 27

language resources that America so badly needs today.

However , the organized and sustained efforts of American ethnic groups on behalf of their own languages are hardly known to American scholars, teachers and legislators. There is a great need to inform the country of what Americans of ethnic backgrounds have done, are doing and could do to preserve the rich language resources which they brought with them to this country. Such knowledge would not only enable our country to see its language needs in true prespective, but it would also enable the government to strengthen an encourage the language maintenance efforts of its ethnic groups. The Language Resources Project undertook to gather all available information concerning the language maintenance efforts of America ethnic groups, and to present this information to the government together with recommendations for steps that might be taken to strengthen the discovered resources.

Since September, 1960, a small group of scholars, including linguists, socielogists, phychologists, and educators, has been carefully planning the Language Resources Project. Their's is a gigantic task, precisely because the information that they are concerned: with has never before been part of the- national bookkeeping. They would like to gather information obaut all of the schools maintained by American ethnic groups — but no one has a list of all of these schools. They would like to gather information about all of the religious, cultural, educational organizations concerned with preserving and prepetuating the languages of American ethnic groups — but no one has afull list of such organizations. Thus, the Language Resources Project has appealed to all interested parties to assist it in attaining its first goal: the compilation of accurate and exhaustive names and address lists of all schools (whether for children, young folks or adults) and of all ,national, regional, and local organizations with a religious, cultural or educational interest in language preservation. Only if this goal is attained, can the project staff proceed toward its untimate goal — (securing assistance and recognition for the important language maintenance efforts of American ethnic groups. It would certainly be most desirable for every one reading these words to devote an hour or so to writing out a name and address list of all such schools and organizations with which he or she is familiar. These lists should be sent to: Language Resources Project, 111 W. 57th Street, Robm 1520, New York

19, New York. Everyone interested in the preservation and perpetuation of his or her mother-tongue (or grandmother tongue) in the United States should cooperate with the Language Resources Project in this way. This is something that all can do — not merely intellectual and organizational ieaders. On the other hand, all organizational 1 eaders should make sure that their organization's name and address is listed with the Project.

In the meantime, the Language Resources Project is not standing still, Its staff-members are diligently at work preparing questionnaires, interview schedules, and other data gathering instruments. They are being assisted by a group of outstanding academic consultants, who are professors in some of America's most outstanding Universities.

In addition, they are being assisted, by the American Council for Nationalities Service in New York and its many affiliated agencies throughout the country. Finally, they are benefetting immeasurably from the advice and assistances of ethnic group leaders and interested individuals who are aware of the great importance of the Project. As a result of all of these combined ef-

forts, the study, of the ethnic-group periodical press and the study of the ethnic-group radio programs are now being carefully and thoroughly planned.

The forms that have been prepared are being tried out on a small sample of publications and radio programs. As a result of these try-outs, the forms will be revised and perfected. This is a sign of the seriousness and carefulness of the Project staff. When editors of the ethnic ,group publications and directors of ethnic-group radio programs all over the country finally receive these forms to fill out, they can be sure that these were nbt dashed off in haste and without thought. They can be sure that the information requester is vital for the ultimate purpose of the Project, the strengthening of America's almost forgotten but very vital and vibrant language resources. Every publisher, editor, or program director will certainly realize that the hour or two that he devotes to the completion of these forms, will be well spent indeed, for by supplying the information called for, he is helping his own publication or program, his own ethnic group and its language, and the country at large in a period of critical language needs.

As a serious, non-partisan study conducted with the full sympathy for the creative contributions of all ethnic groups tothe enrichment of American life, the Language Resources Project deserves the attention and the cooperation of all. If everyone would give a little time to it, its goals will be attained — and ultimately, so would those of the many individuals and organizations concerned with preserving and strengthening in America, their precious linguistic and cultural heritages.
