Pied lety byla doba, kdy nagettene jmeni nam jak tak zajistilo a poskytlo trochu toho pohodli ye Dnes ale neni toma tak.

Dnes tisice jsou nuceni nasledkem zvYgeni vgech cen hledati si zamestnani a pracovati dale, pokud jsou schopni pracovati.

Myslici elovek, rozumni, chopi se ptilektosti pokud jeho zdravotni sta y mu to umoZni, a zajisti si dostateene pojigteni, aby zaopattil budoucnost svou i sve milovane rodiny.

DluZno si pkipomenouti, ze Ti kteti zalozili piwodne nagi Jednotu nebyli velci politikati, ale byli si vedomi pravdy a vetili, Ze zakladaji dobrou vec a proto Ze budovali na poctivYch zakladech, vekili teZ, k se jim to podati. — Oni spolehali se na sebe a Ze ziskaji i jine stejne smfglici na pochopeni jejich snah pro dobro svS/ch rodin.

Do nakch schrizich zveme i neeleny a jejich rodiny aby poznali, ze v nagich schazich jedn'ame i postupujeme demokratickY a ze nasi elenove jsou uvedome1STmi oboa,ny a ochranci s ySrch rodin.

Nedivte se tomu, Ze obeas v nagem organe na to upozorriujeme. Poklddame tyto pkipominky za svoji povinnost nagemu elenstvu a tedy znovu opakujeme, Ze rozumny elovek by mel je gte dnes pteskoumat sve pojistky, zddli jsou vskut ktu dostaeitelne. — Nechce se nam Ze by mezi nami mohl bSti tak sobeckSr elovek, ktPtrV by se domnival, Ze se o jeho rodinu landau starati jine a my nevime o lepaim zpilsobu zajistiti budoucnost a biaho na gich rodin neZli pojistkou u flak.

During the starvation years at Jamestown Colony Virginia, the settlers tried a mess of greens from the jimson weed, which grew in great profusion there, and found its drug content strong enough to make fools of everybody for two or three days, to give deleriums to others, and death to a few. ) The two things most parents run out of at kid parties are patience and food.

"Odpust', tatinku, hned budu zase na svem miste," odpovedela Harmina a vstala od klaviru. Stepila jeji postava jakoby rostla do vase, ale jeji oblieej byl v to chvili bledY, rty bez krve, Belo zastinen& a hravranimi kadetemi oroseno.

HERALD-ii5n With rndeliverabie Copies to SMOTE MOE MET, P.O. So* 400, UMW, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Memo To Our Youth Sokol Circus Held Club Correspondents At Fort Worth The Sokol Unit of the American Sokol Union in Fort Worth, Texas, held their annual exhibition of gymnasts in their unit under the circus motif this year, which was very, very well received by all who visited the Big Top Exhibiton this year.

The two day/night performances before a capacity house, brought home to the spectators what a fine opportunity Sokol presented to America's youth in triolding character, sportsmanship and athletic skills in all athletic fields.

Top performers and fun makers were the clowns, ace athletes, who with their falls, and bungling antics gave the whole performance a true circus atmosphere, while the gymnasts on their various equipment displayed startling skills in handling themselves on the apparatus.

The Free Calesthenics were a thing of grace and beauty, with America's most beloved classical music as a background.

This was an exhibition where the beginner displayed the rudiments of somersaults, cart wheels and backward somersaults, always, under the watchful eye of an instructor, to the polished men and women atheletes, who through the years of training were winning awards f or their skill.

Sokol, a non-profit, non-religious organization, is the answer to keeping children happy and busy in the gymnasium. Sokol is not an organization to which only the privileged few can belong, for many of its members are of the middle income bracket. Sokol is an organization where the INDIVIDUAL is judged on his own merits, without the background of wealth, or social prestige.

Originally founded in Czechoslovakia by some of its most learned and respected men and women, Sokol, has become as symbol of physical and mental stability, health, moral and cultural character and traditon. Lucky is the child whose parents realize its merits and send their children to the gymnasium to spend their leisure time.

Important Third District Youth Activity Plans

Recently a number of you wonderful young people have been sending in your Youth Club Reports on bits of scrap paper, backs of blank checks, 3x5 filing cards, etc.

May we point out that it is very difficult to set up letters from these scraps, they are not uniform, hard to read — in general take a lot of time, cause a lot of trouble for our operators and are not n good taste.

In school you've been taught to use 8x11 1/2 sheets of paper for letters which is dignified and command respect for the letter and writer. You are taught to indent your paragraphs, write in ink, in a legible hand and with a left hand margin on your letter.

Let's use these above taught rules of nice letter writing in our Reports, double spacing them so that your Editor can make corrections between lines.

Also, if you have an unusual spelling in your name, in, signing your letter, please (print in parenthesis) the unusual spelling and save yourself embarrassment in seeing your name misspelled. Misspelled words will be corrected for you, by your Editor as will flagrant grammatical errors. All Reports and letters must be signed to be published.

Now is a good time to form good habits in letter writing, for your letter is a picture of YOU to its recipient who may not know you. Later on in life, you will be glad that you retained the lessons taught in school and keep your letters neat.

Please know that your Editor wants to help you "Put Your Best Foot Forward" for your Youth Club and you- as its representative can help Jahn by observing a few conventional rules of letter writing.

Bless you all and thank you.

Elk Lodge Holds Annual Picnic

Thee Elk Lodge No. 35, held its Annual Picnic and Barbecue and Dance, Sunday, May 28, at their Lodge Hall.

On their huge outdoor concrete barbecue rack, timbers were lit at 2:00 a.m. by the Elk brothers to start the fire to the hot embers necessary to barbecue over 500 pounds of prime beef for this annual picnic. The good sisters served The Texas Fraternal Congress will the dinner at 12:30 through 2:00 p.m. and again that evening for the supperbe held this fall on October 26-28 at the dance crowd, with a most delicious asTexas Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. sortment of food.

Fraternal Congress

Wednesday, May 31, 1961 that 90 per cent of the violations could have been prevented if it were not for violations of laws He stated that we become alarmed over the Congo or the Cuban situation, not realizing that our own "Killer" is a car. He stated that the DWI (Driving while Intoxicated) was the number two in traffic accidents.

The need for a Driver's License Test, would also help, he stated; that there were many motorists who got their license in the 30's when tests were not required; that they regarded their Driver's License probably as highly as their marriage license; that they never let it expire so that they would not have to take a Driver's Test to regain their license and which they probably would, not pass. These, he said, are the people who teach "juniors" to drive in a lot of cases.

Mr. Perry also urged that high schools add the Car Driving Class to their school curriculum to help solve this traffic problem.

"I don't know much about your Organization," he said, "but where so many youngsters can come and have such a good time with their parents and adults, it must be a wonderful organization and the children created no problems," he stated as he looked over the Hall at the beautiful youngsters being, shushed • by their mother so that the nice policeman with the "sure 'nuff pistol" could talk.

Speaking of Teen-Agers, Mr. Perry stated that every community has its problecrs with Teen-Age drivers. He stated that While it is not the rule, that most youngsters got their indoctrination with respect to traffic laws unknowingly directly from their parents, who like to push the speedometer up when there is no "cop" abound. He also stated that a "change 'of attitude" toward the police and Highway Patrol would help, as well as analyze one's traffic habits such as speeding, ignoring various traffic signs, etc. "Teach your young people to drive with professional people in our school systenis," he again stated.

In conclusion, Mr. Perry thanked all drivers for their cooperation and hoped • to merit their continued support of the Texas Department of Public Safety. It was a very timely talk.

Following the speaking, games were played for the afternoon as well as visiting.

One little "darkie" sitin' on a plank got dunked into a barrel of water everytime a ball struck home plate. He sure took a dunking, then they had a change of "darkies" and, the new one came off no better. It was a lot of fun.

Since writing my last letter, we last one of our members. Brother Frank Rubac, who was a morvber of our Lodge for 49 years and one day, passed away on May 13, 1961.

Fraternally yours, Steve L. Svetlik, Secty. ) • 4 • LODGE, NO. 47 SEATON, TEXAS Dear Friends: To inform all of our lodge members, who do not attend our meetings and allow those proud devouted members who do attend, prompts me to write this letter.

This is more or less a report on the state of our lodge and a personal view by my better half, Sister Hejl and me.

Wednesday, May 31, 1961 We have, as most of you know, to our sorrow, lost through death a number of our older members in recent year and especially this year. These members not being replaced by new membership is of some concern to me and, as I am sure, to all of us, Have we reached our peak, are we in a state of complacency? Let's all think about this.

Our cherished Lodge Hall has proudly stood with us and served its useful purpose over half a century. Our forefathers in the fraternal spirit longed for and started a lodge of the ,SPJST and through hardships financially and with moral and physical support constructed a building that served them proudly and well The years as they passed on one by one showed an increase in the membership but also left its mark of age on their building. Our fathers with faith in the jfuture, pride of ownership, realization of the useful purpose of a modern building put dreams to reality and modernized our building which every one was proud of when completed . This building serving its purpose to a third generation, "yours and mine," has a history of events which Were held there to which every member or every non-member can recollect with pride. These events too numerous to mention are a reflection upon the lodge, the community( and in general, the Czech people. Every lodge, every community or township is evaluated by its churches, its schools, and its lodge halls. This, to the public, reflects the qualities and character of its people.

Our lod g e hall, situated on one of the best sites in the state has all this, a wonderful past, but the way of father time waits for no one, not even on our buildings.

Recently, we have elected a planning committee. This committee has worked, planned, and dreamed ,deligently. Their work is completed to the extent of modernizing our building to the present and the future. What is our generation to do?

As in any undertaking there are obstacles and ours is no exception. The cost involved, financing of this dream, is our.

Only obstacle. Is it too great to overcome? Sister Hejl and I believe it is a wonderful plan an,d a step forward for the present and future needs. Willingness moves mountains. All we need is the old fraternal cooperation and we can meet with success.

Our dear charter members have all passed to the great beyond, I believe that to their everlasting memory we should start a free will donation for this committee's dream. What could be better.

And in this respect, Sister Hejl and I, with confidence, have an atriount that we hold ready to donate and may more off

Wednesday, May 31, 1961 you see it that way. Come out to our meeting Sunday, June 4th and let's plan — dream and finally put this to reality in cooperation and brotherhood.

Fraternally yours, Sister Clara Hejl Brother F. E. Hejl Jr. • 4 Literary stars of Lodge Pokrok Houston — 88 Among the brightest ones of the Czech literary Parnasus in Texas was the deceased Joseph R. Anton, remarkably talented poet. He had exellent knowledge of the Czech language and was well acquainted with the old Greek. The knowledge of these ancient tongues is very helpfull in the scientific world, but many of their words, sometimes modified sneak ed into many modern European languages, Czech not excluded. We Czechs with our command of riches of sounds of our language can pronounce properly all the Greek words, which can not be said of the nations speaking English and French, whose pronounciation of Greek words would be unintelligible to Greeks.

We have in our lodge Pokrok Houston literary stars of the fair sex, as I have found reading their essays in our Vestnik in the English section, really literary gems. Two of them are well known to me. One of them is Mrs. Harriet Lesikar.

Those Lesikars, or LeSikar, or Leshikars, now spread all over Texas and wandered possibly into the other states of the United States, are the descendants of the first Legikars families emigrating in Texas and settling there about hundred or more years ago. Mrs. Harriett Lesikar either slumbers on her literary laurels, or her family demands all her time. The other star of the fair sex is well known to members of lodge Pokrok Houston.

rated in the northwest section of that time embryonic Houston. It was known as Houston Heights, an independent community, stretching from Washington avenue fort to Twentieth avenue and from Columbia street on the east o Shepherd drive on the west. In the north western sector from Twenty second to Twenty fourth street and from Lowell to Shepherd drive, this area was taken up by a manufacturing concern Orental Textile Mills with adjacent complex of buildings, known as Textile village.

I am mentioning all this, because in this Textile Mills I have met the first Czech families in Houston. Inquiring superintendent B. J. Platt, whether there any Czech families in close proximity, he said: "Yes, I think in the "back woods".

A that time, when I came to Houston, it was yet with its environment cattle domain. Cattle was roaming loose and in the outlaying sections of the city many inhabitants kept a cow for milk foe household need, others had depended on condensed canned milk. Why the Czech did not migrate in a greater numbers to Houston? Up to that time Czech emigrants preferred industrial cities of north and middlewest, where Czechs Settled in larger colonies. Texas was chosen by Czech emigrants, which had their relatives settled on farms. Houston at that time did not have much industry, about two oil mills, a few machine shops making and repairing some tools for oil industry, which was at that time in the beginning.

There was railroad repair shop of S. R railroad and repair shop of street car company, some wood working shops and two breweries, Magnolia and Houston Brewing Co. In 1908 the little circle of Houston's Czech was enlarged with newly arrived countrymen and this gave and inducement to founding a friendly group whose aim was educational and for entertainment. We have given it name "Pokrok, Progress. We tried to be true to its name by buying books, staging little plays and recitation of Czech poems.

By and by our membership kept growing, more Czechs coming and settling in Houston.

In 1910 there was quite a number of Czech families, which started movement to found, an protective association. For the agitation work was elected brother Frank Kratky ,employed by Schotts Baking Co. Delivering bakery goods. Travelling through Houston's different sections, Kratky has found some more Czech families and among them agitated for founding Czech mutual •protective association. Due to kratky's zealous apostolic endeavor that association was formed and named Pokrok Houston, becoming a member of the fraternal SPJST organization, 1910.

Lodge Pokrok Houston grew steadily in the number of its members, as more Czechs were coming to Houston and settled in and finding suitable employment.

Houston also grew industrially. This

Strana 18 lodge established many beneficient deeds from its beguiling. Provided teaching of the Czech language for the children of its members, for Sokol let use its lodge building free and fostered dramatic art.

One of the first prudent and wise move of the members of lodge was providing its own home for the meetings ano entertainments. Delegated committee found a choice plat, which was purchased. In a short time started work on erection of the locl'es future home, many of its members helped in the erection.

With so many helping hands the simple home of the lodge with its primitive theatrical stage. Some members with some influence in one of those two breweries in Houston also acquired some theatrical requisities for that stage. This was the begining of lodge's theatrical performances, which were getting more artistic every year. Many players ideveloped unusual talent. In 1935 lodge celebrated opening of the two story monumental building at crossing of five streets with high frequency. It was substantially built of reinforced concrete with brick facing all over on outside.

Inside had all modern facilities, inclusive ladies 'rest room.

Our talented theatrical players rejciced, when were presented with a larger stage and better equipment. In some acts our players shine like hollywood starlets. Fifty years is iuite long period of time, and it does bring changes. Many former members sleep the eternal slumber in cemeteries and former boys and girls are now men and some mature women or mothers. We can be proud of our youth, their scholastic record was without blemish and when they stepped in Civilian life, they proved their mettle.

Ernest Hanka is legal 'light, Tim Kostom is high light in some company and star im comical roles. Kahanek chose for his Kee career oil industry and is for some decades on the payroll of Texas Company. .'hen there is Miroslavly, born sfoustonian, who has to his credit five male descendants and hoping that his family will be blessed with a girl to help his charming wife with domestic chores.

His brother Vladimir can't boast of a kirge family. Both of them I presume Are active members in Houston's Chapter Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association. Many youths, children of the active veterans of Lodge Pokrok Houston are taking over their functions and doing them splendidly. Among the young generation there is the son of Brother Joe Kalcusek, who at his time was leader at lodge Pokrok Houston. I think he ought follow in his father's steps.

V2STE/X—WEST,TEXAS Deceased brother and sister Hanus sure would rejoice if they could see their son Louis in his role as president of Lodge Pokrok, how he is making well in that position. His parents were very active in lodge's different activities Then there is brother Rudy 8efeik, mighty handy as ceremonial at the funeral services and as an actor in Czech plays. Deceased brother Olexa, sr. who has been an actor in many plays besides having other functions in Lodge Pokrok Houston, left that in his son, Frank 9lexa, Jr. He and his wife sister Frances Olexa, appeared successfully in many Czech plays, and have held numerous function in our lodge.

Lodge Pokrok still keeps that old theatrical tradition and presents Czech plays, not so often like in past, as the group of experienced actors is getting scarce and for some roles are needed young ) persons. Luckilly we have several very good ones, but not too many.

Now the question is, how long that monumental building will stay in that place, when Houston is continually spreading and taxation burden growing?

Building is of substantial construction, good probably for hundred or more years, but taxation might make its use for lodges purposes untenable. Another ten years will tell a different story.

A big day for the Youth of District III is Sunday, June 25 which is the day set aside as Youth Activity Day. This year, it will be held at Lodge Jaro No. WEST, TEXAS 130, 7448 Greenville Avenue, Dallas, Texas. Other important information and the Dear Girls: Just a short, short letter, if the Editor entry blank can be found elsewhere in the Vestnik . However, we would like to can find space, to give you a recepe for

Wednesday, May 31, 1961 a most delicious and easy to make Sweet Pickles.

Many of you make your own pickles from cucumbers, where you add a bit of garlic and hot pepper for zing.

My recepe calls for a jar of these ready-to-eat garlic pickles, or what is known as Kosher pickles in the Super Market where it is flavored with garlic.

Drain off all of the brine on the pickles and slice thern in matchstick thickness.

To an half-inch thickness layer of sugar, and a half-inch thickness of these sliced kosher pickles alternating the sugar and pickles back into the original jar. Place in your refrigerator.

Should be ready in about 14 days, however, your Editor and I started on them in a week. They were delicious and less expensive than the sweet pickles on the store shelves. A word of caution, however, they must be kept cold so they will not start to ferment again and spoil.

I hope you enjoy your sweet pickles as much as I have. I got the recepe from a nice old lady in Dallas, who got it from a nice old lady on and on. It's fun trying Out these recepes, ad every once in a while you come upon a "special one" as I considered this one to be.

I know you are now busy canning what little your gardens produced this year, what with the dry spell and bugs and now the moisture.

Perhaps next year it will be better.

Here's happy eating to you, until next time. I've a couple of recepes which I will pass on to you when I can have the space in the Vestnik.

In closing I cannot help but comment on the wonderful District Meetings we have been having all over Texas, it's been wonderful to see you all again, and honor our Pioneer Members. Bless you all.

The Editor's Wife ) • ,T• LODGE CULAK NO. 165 MOULTON, TEXAS Dear Readers an Writers: Tonight I will try to write you a few lines to let you know how we are going at our Lodge; to inform all of our sisters and brothers that our next meeting will be held the second Sunday in June, the 11th at a p.m.

At this meeting there will be presented Emblems to all of our pioneer members, members who have been in our Order for Fifty Years or more.

The following members are asked to be present at our next Meeting, to , receive their 50-year pins: Brothers: John Darilek, Emil Darilek, John V. Havlik, John Mladenka and Sisters: Vera Svoboda and Frances Surinam If possible,

VESTNIX— WEST, TEXAS please do come to this meeting. We want to celebrate this special event with some entertainment, lunch and drinks.

All members and non-members are invited to cane. Everyone is welcome.

Our good sisters are asked to please bring a lunch.

So, today, Sunday May 21st, the John V. and Anna Havliks are celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary at the American Legion Hall in Moulton, given to them by their three sons: Maurice, Raymond arid-J. J I am not sure just how many grandchildren they have but I know they have to count them on both hands. We all wish them the very best health and happiness with many happy returns of this day.

Have you ever stopped to realize that character and love outweighs gold. Love means mutual respect, trust, forgiveness and understanding. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when, all else has fallen, failure of crop, death in the family, hardships and the struggle for life's existence. Yes, love; patience and understanding each other in married life's journey; a journey which ended for some of these couples and many other ones of Fifty Years or more; long, long life's journey, but — it was really worth it.

So this is all for today and I shall be seeing you soon in the Vestnik with my letter.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Bessie Fojt • )• ROBSTOWN LODGE NO. 117 Dear Members: Here it is June and time for our SPJST meeting which will be held on Sunday, June 4, at 2:00 p.m. at the Moravian Hall. So, I am inviting and urging everyone to cone to the meeting. After the meeting we will have our usual lunch.

The ladies are asked to please bring some goodies and then we will munch and gossip. Everyone always enjoys themselves.

The crops here are real nice, only a rain is needed. The cotton is blooming, the farmers carried out the poisoning program. They killed all the insects and the cotton is full of squares and blooms, but now we need rain, and there doesn't seem to be any in sight.

The grain crop is also good. The maize is headed` out, some of it in the dough stage, but again the most important thing lacking is rain.

In closing I again am urging everyone to come to the meeting. As the saying goes the more the merrier, so you all cooDe. Fraternally yours, Mary Janak, Reporter

LODGE 92, FORT WORTH, TEXAS Dear Readers: Today I'd like to tell you about the wonderful Mother's Day Celebration that was held at Lodge 92, Sunday, May 4.

I think everyone had a good time. We had a very nice program consisting of the younger children, thanks to our Youth Leader Sister Mary Paprskar, and the Mother's Dinner was served after the p rogram, which as always was deliciously prepared. There were several varieties of food and especially pastries, but I do not think anyone was watching their Waistline on such a happy occasion.

The orsain event of the day was the Crowning of Queen and Duchess. We wauld like to congratulate Miss Carol Zich as being elected our Queen and Miss Sherrie Kubala as Duchess. I know these girls will always cherish this honor that was bestowed upon them.

Well, I could go on and on, telling about our exciting day but I guess I should close.

Before I do close, however, I'd like to add, that anyone who wants to participate in the Youth Activity Day in Dallas on June 25 please come to our Meeting on June 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Well seniors, we are now ready to conquer the world! We are out of reach of the security we !have been accustomed to having, we are ready to set a pattern for our lives, we must have ambition.

I wish each of you all the lock and happiness in the world. I some you Must cherish these memories of graduation (twelve years Of hard toil and lahor) as I do. We are so glad it's over but there is a slight bit of fright, also.

We must buckle our belts, hold our chins up, and charge!

BEAUMONT, TEXAS (Delayed) "The Essence of Life" Time broadly defined, is a measure of duration; an allotted time in life — whether it be past, present or future.

The pattern we set for our lives depends on all these phases of time. First, it is affected by the past: what have we formed in the past as a pattern of guidance. Second, by the present. Are we using our time to the best of our ability?

Third, by the future do we have any aoribitions for the future, or are we going to just let our lives ramble on and not try to improve them.

The most wonderful things of life, the pure essence in life is ambition. We cannot gain or prosper without ambition.

Our lives cannot be fulfilled by feeliag a self-satisfaction . This is especially important for seniors. Whatever we plan to do we must set out to conquer it with the best of our abilities. Even the smallest MSS HELEN MACHA. task is very important in our lives.

VES TNI IC -- WEST, TEXAS last year's Royal Court and the new candidates. More news of this shortly!

The school year is rapidly drawing to a close and with this closing we find many of our teen-age members receiving special honors and, awards in their respective schools. Cathy Adamcik, District Three Queen, was recently elected Vice-President of the Metropolitan Club at the University of Dallas. This club is an organization for off-campus students attending the University of Dallas. Kenneth Brown was elected second VicePresident of the Newman Club — an organization for Catholic students attending Southern Methodist University.

Kenneth's election took place a few months back, but nevertheless we were very proud of his honor and we are extremely happy to be able to share it with our readers. Richard Kopecky was presented an award for being selected one cif the five best and most faithful altar boys at Jesuit High School. Lodge 84's dependable Queen, Juanita Janousek, received a trophy and special recognition for having the best student entry in a recent Crafts Fair held at the State Fair of Texas. Her entry was a lovely chocolate-colored sheath dress with contrasting jacket. And our Teen-Age President, Joe Ondrusek, has been promoted to the rank of first lieutenant in the Adamson High ROTC. These were all the students reported to me and if there are others who have received honors 'rest assured that as soon as the information gets to me, I will have your name in the spotlight too! However for now, please accept the congratulations of all your fellow SPJST members.

After such uplifting information as the above, I regret to inform you that Rudy Malik, a fellow teen-age member, is seriously ill. Rudy, if you are reading this message, please accept our wishes for a very speedy recovery. We miss you and hope to see you up and about very soon. Also the husband of our Assistant Youth Director suffered an accident in which his knee was broken and his leg ,seriously injured. We hope that Mr. Willie Ondrusek, also, enjoys a hasty recovery and that his time in bed rapidly goes by.

This concludes my report for now, but I hope to correspond again as time permits. In the meantime, enjoy yourself and, to the students, STUDY HARD!

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

• April Arrests Austin — Too many fishermen still try to get by without buying a $2:15 fishing license. As a result, they wind up in court with fines and costs. During April, 138 of the 232 arrests by game wardens were for failure to have a fishing license.

There were also numerous hunting violations, including mostly shooting of game out of season. One man was arrested for dynamiting fish. Four were picked up ,for using a motor boat while intoxicated.

Capt. Sprott also called attention to

Ve sticedtt dne, 31. kvana 1961 the req uirement of having a life preserver for each occupant of a boat while on the water. This safety factor frequently is overlooked.

On all, the 232 persons paid fines and costs amounting to $6,383.40 during the mth.

• • Watch Your Step This is snake season. Be careful when you get into the woods or along creek and riser banks. This is the warning of Capt . E. M. Sprott; director of MIA, enforcement of the Game and Fish Commission. The poisonous snakes of Texas are rattle snake, moccasin, copperhead, and coral.

• • Don't Kill the Alligators!

Austin — Don't kill the alligators! This is the advice of E. A. Walker, director of Wildlife restoration of the Game and Comrnission.

"This time of the year, when many people get onto the lakes and streams of Southeast Texas, they have the privilege of seein g one or more alligators," Walker said. "There is a tendency to shoot them on sight. In other areas night hunters take alligators and sell their hides. There are even instances where alligators are killed and left to rot at the water's edge."

Walker admits there are a few times when the alligators may catch a small ;pig or dog that gets too close to the water . On the other hand, they also destroy a great many nutria, turtles and rough fish in the lakes and streams.

"Many counties df the state now have closed seasons on the 'gators," Walker said. "These animals serve a very useful purpose in the balance of nature, particularly in the swamps. If we can stop the ruthless slaughter we can have them around for a long time. Otherwise they soon may be killed off entirely."

Austin — Cover and food for blue quail in North Texas is being provided on the farm of Joe B. Nit wanner of Morton, who has planned a real wildlife project on his land.

His Work is described in an article in the current issue of "Texas Game and Wish magazine. Edward E. Thomas, a U.S. Department of Agriculture worker, tells of the imp rovements made on Nicewarmer's farm, located in predominately clean-tilled, irrigated 'farm land.

Nicewarmer enjoys hunting quail himself and has attempted to provide cover and food as nearly like a virgin area as ;sible. ie hauls in truckloads of tree limbs.

They were placed criss-cross on posts to provide brush covers. They give protection from both snow and predators.

VESTNiX WEST, TEXAS Livestock is .excluded. from the area.

Weed seed are planted to provide for apyole food. Old tires are split to provide water catchers.

He recommends other landowners take similar steps to provide both cover and feed for birds.
