Kvety samoty Napsal Franti;ek tech (Pokradov ant) Uklidnen pomyelenim, Ze Hermina ma tolik zdraveho rozumu, aby kladenYm leekam vyhnula se sama, pfestal se o doclaazky ueitelovy do myslivny starati. Sam tam vnbec neeel a neiteli, kde mohl, se vyhnul. Setkali-li se nahodon, chladne se pozdravili, ale do hovoru se nepouetell. Pfestaly j ej ich vzaj emne navetevy, i spoleene prochazky.

Brzo pak mohl Horak pozorovati, ie i styky fary se ekolou se zkalily. Pan farat asi take brzo se pkesvedeil, Ze jest velikY rozdil mezi ueitelern bYvalYm a nynejSim. Tteba, e choval se k pkivetive i zdvotile, ptece stykü s nim nevyhledaval. Pkestala do ekoly dochazeti i pani Marinka a jenom ueitelova matka, nepozorujic ve sve nezkneenosti zavladnuelbo ochlazeni, easem zaela Si na faru na kousek keel. `Miteli zustala pkistupnou jenom myslivna, kde zvidete foktova davala mu na jevo, Ze jest rad viden. PanZival take kaZde volne chvile, aby tam zaeel a obeas brat i matku sebou, ktere pki kaZde naveteve v myslivne vice a vice se libilo.

Skoro tam zdomacnela, pozbyla Alpine sveho ostychu a panimarne jako sestke otvirala sve srdce. Pfekypovala radosti, slyeela-li z list Pankove na syna samou chvalu a odvdeenvala se ji tim, e si nedala ujiti jedine pkilelitosti, mohla-lt velebiti Herminu.

"Ale mohli by se aspori zasnoubit. Byla by piece jakasi jistota, e device jen neplaei. Takto sem chodi a mite pkestati choditi, kdykoli se mu zachce. A holce tim na, povesti nepkibtde.

"Ty mae hloupYch starosti!"

"Prave to se nine nelibi. Neni jasno na jedne ani na, druhé strane a nine bybylo milejCim, kdyby nam pan ueitell neprokazoval eest tak pftllC easto," skoro popuzene ukoneil hovor Panek.

Ve stkedu, due 12. C'ervence, 196* LET'S MAKE THE DOLLAR SOUND Americans are no longer in a position to say that the dollar is "sound as a dollar," The integrity of the dollar is under heavy attack. The drain on our gold resources has been heavy and continuous.

Then we consider the commitments against our gold resources, we have to conclude that we actually own several billion dollars less than no gold at all.

The question here at home and around the world is whether the United States will do the necessary things to avoid an overt devaluation of the dollar. It is to 'be hoped that the necessary things will be done, for history shows that in 0,11e nation after another the progression that leads to the destruction of the nation's currency, has followed a faoailiar pattern to a familiar — and disasterous end.

This progression historically begins with the loose fiscal policies which seem endurable because tire dangers are distant. Then, as the consequences of these unwise fiscal policies become more apparent, reassuring statements are issued by public officials that everything is going to be put right. This phase is followed by a series of measures designed not to stop the loose practices which- are bringing on the danger, but to attempt to control their effects. Tinese efforts proving unsuccessful, the ,surrender takes place — the devaluation of the currency, an act which' simply gives official recognition to what has already happened in fact.

There have been few cases in which the progression has been stopped. And one of these cases was our own country.

In two instances, one before cur Civil War and one afterwards, the United .State 3 was swept up in an "easy money" mood similar to that of recent times. In those days the fiscal issues were "specie money" and "free silver." In both instances some damage was done, but in both, the United States finally turned aside before the surrender to official devaluation. As a result the phrase,. "sound as a dollar" became a part of the world's language.

Unbiased students of this .important subject are of the opinion that the dollar, while it has been weakened, is not damaged beyond repair. To keep that from happening, we need only to stop giving away billions of dollars to foreign countries and to keep the financial affairs of our government in order here at home.

One o fthe worst drains on American gold reserves is excessive foreign aid sp endin g . The expensive government-togovernment foreign aid program has siphoned away the financial, resources we need to keep ourselves strong. And

vtsTNtic—

arms

WEST, TEXAS

this program also has toppled America from her world position as a respected nation to a level of dislike and active distrust which we have never before had to face in our history as a nation.

These foreign aid programs have never of course, been sold to the American people on constitutional grounds. In fact, the proponents of foreign aid have never bothered to consider the constitutional question—which should be the first and fundali‘ental question in the discussion of all programs of the federal government.

The justification of foreign aid has always been on a propaganda, basis. We have been told, and told repeatedly, that foreign aid is good and necessary because it does good in the world.

But it has not done good. Foreign aid has actually harmed the countries receiving it. American tax-financed aid to andmideveloped countries hurts them :nore than it helps them. in some cases the harm has come by the assistance given dictatorships in fastening a tighter grip on unwilling peoples. In many cases foreign aid from the United States has allowed governments co postpone facing economic problems ,vhich must eventually be solved from within. In nearly all cases, foreign aid has had the effect of ■ disrupting the economy of the nation receiving it. Our aid creates inflation in the underdeveloped countries and brings about dangerous social and political unrest by destroying ancient values which cannot ce replaced except by the slow process of natural growth.

Foreign aid ahvocates have called their progrwr the most effective way of fighting the spread of communism. But it has not turned out that way at all. We have been extending foreign aid to the world ever since the end of the war.

'During that same period our enemies have taken over one unhappy country after another.

This is not surprising. Our aid program is wasteful and inefficient, beset with graft and bureaucratic confusinon. inevitably the program takes these characteristics into the country where it is applied. Graft and bureaucratic waste are characteristics which aid our enemy.

All these are justified criticisms of the foreign aid program. But they are not really the criticisms that are most important. The basic flaw in the foreign aid program, one which cannot be remedied, is the fact that the government of the United States has no constitutional or moral right to take money away from Alnerican citizens for gifts or loans to foreign governments, foreign businesses, foreign individuals, foreign

1.14

charities, foreign anything else.

That being true, any amount, large or small, of foreign aid financed by tax money to onyone for any purpose is harmful to the cause of freedom because it undermines the meaning of our U.S. Constitution.

And when our Constitution is made meaningless, what guarantee against tyranny is left anywhere in the world?

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK cial Security "Insurance?"

The word insurance keeps cropping up in the speeches of Senators urging that health - care be nut into the Social Security system. They insist hotly that the aged should get health - care benefits as a "right." They should be able to receive t, em "with dignity," because "they had paid for them." This is noble language.

Unfortunately, it falls under the head Of grossly deceptive language, of a kind that would bring the FTC pouncing cln, \7.7n on a marrifacturer. It is charitable to suppose that the Senators and Congressmen who use sUO.-1, language are themselves deceived about the true nature of the .,Social Security program. It has been spoken of as insurance almost from its inception. The word appears in the name of tire Old Age and survivors' Insurance program.

Social Security Tam's are not Insurance premin is. But it is not iDsurance.

It carries no. "rights" to anything except what Conguss, from time to time, may grant as a gift. The coiTh'ihutions to Aeducted frompay, are not insurance premiums, but a tax, pure and simple.

Why my soy? Ti-,e Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare says so. The Solicitor General cif the United States says sc. Finally, the Supreme Court says so.

In a little noted decision last June 20, tf:P Su p reme Court ruled finally on a question which has irked many real insurance men for a quarter of a century.

The case was that of Nestor, a Bulgarian born industrial worker in Los Angeles, `ho was deported in. July, 1956, to his homeland, as a communist. He had been a Social Security contributor since 1939 and was ',drawing old age benefits when deported.

He asked that his benefits continue !after his deportation on the grounds that he "had paid for them." His theory was that on which most discussion of Pacial Security is based: that he had been paying money into Social Security which would, be held for Wm, and his

VESTN/K— WEST, TEXAS

Lodge Jaro 130 Hosts District Three Annual Youth Activity Day' The repot. L from our Annual Youth Activity Day. of Lae Third District has been somewhat delayed as there were so many letters and pictures of our Youth in our last week's Vestnik.

Let say for an explanation that we are doing these District 'Meetings not for our furl' and personal entertainment but to render our brotherhood and c:Kiecially out Youth a service ta'at has been for so long a time neglected.

We would like to emphasize that it is not our objective to be introduced oijust to say that "We are glad to be here," but to take careful notes of the happenings in order to be able to render a service to other Districts the benefits of the experiences of the leading Districts, The District Three Youth Activity Day, the much, heralded and long exMeted dey, broke cloud y and full of thundershower 'fury, which cut into the potential attendance some, (however, had there been more, the indoor games would have had to be curtailed, wbich would have de p rived SCOIie children of the opportunity to participate in these ,fun gamos. s;ometimes their screams- of excitement While playing in , competitive relay, sounded like jet planes streaking across the sky.

Ho.stLodge President, -brother Arnold Vola, called those assembled' for - this occasion 'to, order at approximately 10:00, a in. with the opening number "The Star eparis',10-1 Banner," played on the accord' by his loVely daughter, Kathy Vrla,.

It das a truly beautifully played tribute to our Flag, whereupon Bro. Vrla then welcomed the gathering to the Annual Youth Activity Day of District Three.

Immediately after, the audience stood in mute prayer for a departed member, who had passed away that morning less than an hour before, namely brother Josef Valcik, after a lengthy illness.

Brother Vrla, also read a congratulatory telegram from District Five, wbo usually Inakes all of the District's functions and have many friends in this district. They were having a big party for one of their distinguished members and leaders, brother J. M. Skrabanek on that day, Then District Three President, brother Gtorge Trojacek, velcomed those assembled in behalf of District Three and thanks all o'f the parents for bringing the Youth to Dallas Lodge to make this

Sister Wilma Nesuda day possible and turns the microphone immediately 'over to the District Three Youth Director Sister Wilma Nesuda to begin the Youth Activity phase of the day. Sister Nesuda complimented the crowd for coming and thanked the Sokol, the other co-owner of this beautiful building for the use of the hall. She also thanked her Host Lodge President and ii e District Three President for their assistance in helping her with her fast big assignment since taking over the reigns as District Three Youth Director.

Sister Nesuda also thanked the parents for bringing the youth and then invited the youth to write, her about any ideas they might like to have incorporated in ruture Youth Activity Days.

Starting with the Talent Contest, the Junior Division consisted of eight num'hers, representing eight lodges in the District: Piano solo, accordion solo, accordion duets, and a pantomine number.

Strana 13 Tie delicious barbecued beef prepared on the Lodge's new stainless steel barbecue pits, together with its accompaning vegetables, pastries and drinks, plus a gracious service by the Kitchen Committee, awaited the long lines of hungry folks.

The afternoon program started with an autograph contest. Three top- winners, who had the most signatures in the allotted hour, received cash prizes as dell as the usual Participation Ribbons.

Those youngsters who yet coul;dn't write, had some older person signing their autographs. It was a mad, but happy scramble.

The Youth Club of Lodge 84 scrapbook placed first, in the year 1960. Their 1959 scrapbook took second prize . The third prize went to the Youth( Club of Linden Hall Lodge No. 66, Waco, for the years 1958 thru 61.

Then the winners of the Handicraft Contest, by age groups were called to receive their prizes and Participation Ribbons.

One has to see the happy faces and the stary eyes of youngsters to understand what this all means to them. Some of them were walking on Cloud Nine!

It makes up for a lot of hard work, fatigue, frustration, etc., in putting a huge project like this over. It is something they shall always remember, and the participation ribbons will be treasured long after they have forgotten how vr.wuch their Cash Awards amounted to

Then the fun games came up next.

Any children under 12 could participate.

Two teams in relay burst inflated balloons by sitting on them. This caused a lot of laughter among all of those who witnessed this contest as some of the light weight youngsters had a hard time bursting the inflated balloons.

Another contest between relay teams consisted of suitcases filled with clothes which had to be put on then taken off again. What a happy way to close the (day for .suppertime was at hand and again the wonderful sisters stood ready to serve the guests.

Then Rejcek's Orchestra came in and set up shop and soon everyone was dancIn the ,Senior Division a Dialogue, ing.

Piano Solo and a Baton Twirling number As the hour of eight approached, our were presented to an appreciative audi- twelve Princesses and their escorts, plus ence. Sister Nesuda will give Vestnik's six Duchesses and their escorts, returned Readers the names of winners etc., in her to the Lodge Hall, in their beautiful report formals to participate in the Coronation Sister Nesuda then stated that the and Ball of the new District Three winners of both, Divisions of the Talent Queen. They were all breath-takingly Contest would be announced that night; beautiful, the escorts handsome.

The little Duchesses and their escorts and proceeded to give her schedule of the afternoon's activities before recessing for were like miniature Dresden Dolls in their formals, each taking her role very the noon meal:

Strana 14 seriously. A pink throne platform with a white iron garden chair was placed at the foot of the stage to seat the reining queen, beautiful Kathy Adamcik, before the winner would be known.

So as each couple approached the throne area, they were introduced by brother Trojacek, followed by their respective Lodge Duchess and her escort.

Brother Trojacek, had them all standing there for the slhutterbugs to snap, and for everyone to admire, while brother Joe B. Hejny, Vice-President from our Suprekne Lodge, started his talk — to make the excitement of expectation the more keen.

Brother Joe Hejny paid tribute to the Youth present and to their parents for their support during the contest. "Without the support of the parents and the :membership of the Lodge, we would not have this woirderful occasion," said brother Hejny.

"We also realize that it would be impossible to carry on these Youth Activities without the leadership of our Districts, local Lodges, Youth Leaders an.d I would like to say that we are lucky or should I say that District Three has a bunch-of hard workers; we have been able in this District to set examples for other Districts of the state ever since the beginning of the Youth Activity.

We have other districts which are very active and it may not be long before some District may get ahead of District Three, but I do know that before that day, that District Three will give them a "run for their money."

Brother Hejny complimented the new Youth Leader, Sister Wilma Nesuda of Lodge 25, Ennis. "I think that it would be only proper that we give recognition to our past District Youth Directors.

They are still very active and work with us but don't carry a title as Youth Directors," continued brother Hejny. Sister 'Ceska and. Sister Petr took a bow. The Royalty squirmed with impatience.

Sister Ceska expressed her pleasure at witnessing such a successful Youth Day, lauding the Youth Leaders of the District !for a "job well done." She expressed enjoyment for having worked with the District as its Youth Director, and for the work accomplished. "Without your backing and cooperation it could not have been done. To you Princesses, Duchesses and your Escorts and to you who !Participated in the Talent Contest and Handicraft Contest I wish to say how proud we are of you." concluded Sister Ceska.

Sister Bessie Petr, beloved Youth Leader of Lodge 84, reiterated her delight at having worked with Sister Ceska, and all of the Lodge Youth Leaders, a memory

which she shall always cherish. Sister Petr wished the lovely Princesses, Duch esses and their escorts the best of luck.

"I know that each, and everyone of you 'would like to be queen of the District, however, it is possible for only one to be queen. Let us strive for more beautiful days like this one. To Sister Nesuda, I want to say Good Luck, to her to carry on this work which we started in this District.• To Sister Kathy Adamcik, "You have been a lovely queen, and we are so proud of you," said sister Petr in conelusion.

Brother Hejny then thanked everyone Who helped in anyway — the fathers and mothers of the participants in the program. Brother Hejny explained that the queen would be chosen on the amount of insurance sales during the three-month period of the contest. Then brother Hejny teasingly informed the waiting Princesses, Duchesses and their escorts that perhaps it was time to "take the strain off of them," and announce the Winner.

Calling first the runner up, lovely Noyda Rejcek and her escort Ed Faraizl, uif Loge 84 who took a bow amid cheers of the spectators The lovely Duchess Justine Marie Pokladnik and her escort Johnnie Pokladnik stood with their Princesses.

Then the winner, lovely Linda Mynar and handsome Donald Zatopek of Lodge Cottonwood No. 6, near West, together with Duchess Kathy Zapalac and her escort Rohert Lovecky, took their places by the new queen 'while the reigning queen placed the lovely new Rhinestone crown on her head and Petite Jeanette Krizan of Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, handed her a bouquet of red roses.

Needless to discribe the pent up emotions, surprise and happiness. The new Queen gracionsly acknowledged the ovations and thanked her three organizers in her Lodge who made all of this possible. So our Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, in District Three again won the coveted District Three Queen's throne. Lovely Janie Hubik, was also present to share in Cottanwoofd's joy.

Sister Hubik was their First Queen.

The Queen's parents took a bow.

After the Queen's Solo Dance, the other participants joined in dancing, followed by general dancing until the midnight hour when all cinderella's must rush home with their dancing slippers.

So with the Cottonwood Queen, the chartered bus, pulled out of the parking area carrying home another triumph for the lodge, and for their organizers. Congratulations.

It was nice to see the District Two Youth Director sharing the pleasures of

Important After a conference held by the editor and the officers of our Supreme Lodge it was agreed, that our Vestnik will no longer publish pictures of brides, wedding anniversaries, graduates, or any other pictUre of members NOT PERTAINING DIRECTLY TO OUR LODGE WORK and INSURANCE SALES. This was brought about due to the constantly rising cost of 'having cuts made of these photographs and returning original photographs to the membership.

It was further decided that all matter mailed to your Editor must be covered by full postage, and any material such as pictures, which you wish returned, must have full postage coverage enclosed for its return.

Photographs with letters enclosed, must so state on the cover, otherwise, they, go first class the most expensive Way . A better practice is to attach letter to the envelope containing the photograph, then the postage is cheaper.

We all know that the cost of living has gone up, as has postage, and it's just good business management to watch all costs, and cut expenses whereever possible. That is what has made us what we are today, — prudent management.

Any other mail matter where the postage is not fully prepaid, will be returned by the Post Office to the sender.

Your Editor, appreciates your understanding and cooperation. Thank you. ) • st. •

My mother and dad, my two sons and I de parted from our beautiful state of Texas at an early hour on the morning or June -21st by car. Traveling all day we arrived in East St Louis by nightfall.

We spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Menendez (the former Helen Norris) who has many relatives and friends in Fort Worth. I might add that their oldest 'daughter is being married during the Monte, of July. `14:e following morning we visited the Frank Kruta Bakery and the Frank Moore (Moravec) family that are former Fort Worth residents. In fact, the Moore family are still afi‹-.‘mbers of the SPJST Lodge No. 92 and they enjoy reading the Vestnik with great pleasure.

By mid-morning we departed for Chicago, 'traveling on a boulevard double lane hipfoiA..vay most of the distance.

'There are very nice roadside parks where one can stop and relax . One can see beautiful country, fields of grain and corn. The corn is very small in height compared to ours in Texas. This, of course, is due to our early, warm growing season.

After traveling all day, we arrived in the Windy City about 5 p.m. We were greeted by my Uncle John Gajda, my mother's brotner, and his family. As in every fainily, there was much to talk about before retiring for the night. My two sans and I stayed in the home of my uncle, but mother and dad went to .a motel.

I will not attempt to describe the Slet, but I believe inere is nothing more thrilling and inspiring than in witnessing a mass assembly Of men, women and chilidren in in tneir Sokol uniforms, performing in mass calisthenic drills. There were 12 different events on the prograiD. The Fort Worth Sokol was proud to have two Sokols receive special recognition. Henrietta Milan on the Balance Beam and Mary Jean Renfro in Free Calisthenics.

They showed their prowess before toe exhibition crowd, demonstrating their techniques.

The special presentation, dedicated to our deceased Brother Jos Kos was exxecuted beautifulyy by our Southern District Men and Women. The men in white trousers and red shirts and the women in white shorts and red blouses, set off

by Blue waist bands made a beautiful sight on the green grass. At the end of the presentation the participants grace-Ciully lay on the grass and spelled opt Line name KOS. The group should feel proud of, the final tribute so well rendered to the memory of Brother Kos. After the Slet many of the participants boarded buses and departed for their respective states. There were about 2,000 participants, the largest attendance in years. From all indications, the Sokol is illartn'. e, strong, from coast to coast in the United States and in Canada (XI per mit of Texas Sokols are members tof our SPJST).

In the evening of Sunday, June 2'jt_ there was a Farewell Dance . Then Southern District was again well represented.

Monday morning many of our Texas Sokols were departing for home. Four of :c So.,,els wont to Potter's Lake, Wisconsin, to attend a three week Sokol ecalse. They are : Mary Jean Renfro, Ann Johnson, Carol Mason and John Thanpsen. We know that the training rece i ved will (1,ake them our future Sokol leaders.

For the Southern District, the Fort Worth Sokols won two trophies and one medal. We are very proud of the following winners: Henrietta Milan — trophy — 2nd place women's championship John Thompson -- trophy — 4th place, Junior Boys championship Mary Jean Renfro — medal — 5th place Junior.girls.

We also congratulate Jerry Stransky, Sokol Dallas for winning a medal, 2nd. place in Intermediate. boys_

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS These four Sokols performed diligently, and to the best of their ability, thus they were rewarded for their efforts.

On Monday, June 26th we had good intentions of going to, Richmond, Virginia, to visit friends. Even before leaving home we planned on going to Boston, Mass., and just travel the Eastern coast. After we figured the mileage and realized that the 4th of July was ahead of us, a dangerous time to be traveling, "Home Sweet Home" sounded good to our ears; we headed straight for Texas. Besides, my father had already seen most of his far off friends and relatives.

About twenty-five miles out of Chica,go, we detoured 14 miles to visit the Mother House, Sacred Heart Convent. in Lisle, Illinois. There we visited the Benedictine Sisters who teach many of our Sokols here in Fort Worth. Many of the Sisters are of Czech descent, and speak the language fluently . Their 500 acre

We traveled all day until arriving in Springfield, Missouri, then, we retired to a motel for the night. Grandpa Tirk athe boys will always remember Sprirn (field, because they could buy a-foot long coney island for 25c and a root beer float for 15e1 On Tuesday, June 27th after traveling almost all day, and just before reaching McKinney, Texas, we arrived' just min• utes after if happened, at the scene of a terrible car-truck accident. A 26-yearold Dallas youth was killed, and his two companions were slightly injured. Tile three youth were returning to Dallas. from a fishing trip to Lake Texama. You can bet that we were very thankful that we were almost at home, safe and sound ;after seeing such a horrible sight Arriving home with no difficulty what

Here is a closeup of some of the Duchesses and their escor in the royal court of the recent District Three Queen's Coronation, which was held at host Lodge Jaro No. 130, Dallas, Sunday, June 25th.

In the foreground is dainty Justine Marie Pokladnik, Duchess of Lodge 84 Dallas, and her escort, Johnny Pokladnik, behind her. Right nest to her is lovely Sherrie Kubala, Duchess of Lodge No. 92, Fort Worth, her escort is hidden behind her, and then another lovely Duchess whose name escapes us. This wr taken during the "teasing" Brother Joe B Ilejny was giving the excitemen pent-up Princesses, for then no one knew who the Queen would be.

These tiny couples were the most endearing, adding much to tit ceremonies. It made them feel "a part" of the Order, just as important as the Queen, which they really were. It is things such as this which create interest in the ;touth, to organize Youth Clubs, to swell the membership ranks of Lodges, It's just good business to include our youth in our Lodge affairs.

Wednesday, July 12, 1961 so ever, the trip can be summed up in a ,few words. We Texans can be proud of our Sokol's commendable showing at the Sokol Slet, and our State is as good, or better, than tine states we traveled through.

Nazdar!

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Lydia (Tirk) Alholm Editor's Note: Thanks for this good letter. We are glad to have you all back in "good ole Texas" again.

Our trip to Dallas was longer than usual on account of the rain but we were greeted by the members of Lodge No. 130 at the door, welcoming us to their beautiful lodge hall. After everyone said "hello" our group fanned out in all directions and felt just like we were at home. By late afternoon the sun was el:ining and by looking out the windows you would never have thought that it had rained.

LIFE INSURANCE GROWING TO BIG PROPORTION Life insurance in force in the United States has grown eight times as fast as the nation's population during the past decade and reached a new record total of about $645,000,000,000 at the end of 1960, according to the 1961 Life Insurance Foci Book, which was published recently by the Institute of Life Insurance.

About 90 per cent of the protection in force at the end of the year, or $586,400,600,000 was provided by legal reserve life insurance companies and was owned by a total of 118,000,000 policy holders — or two out of every three persons in the nation. The rest was with. fraternal and assessment organizations, savings banks and the Federal government's insurance programs for veterans.

During 1960, the amount of life insurance in force . with legal reserve companies increased $44,300,000,000 or 8 per cent over the total at the end of 1959.

Benefit payments to American policyholders, their families and other beneficiaries, under their life policies and annuities, were also :higher during 1960

than in any previous year. The total was $8,100,000,000, almost 60 per cent of which was in living benefits to policyholders.

The $4,800,000,000 in living benefits included matured endowments, disability payments, annuity payments, cash surrender values and policy dividends . Payments due to the death of policy holders totaled $3,300,000,000.

The Fact Book points out that, among all families in the U.S. the average amount of life insurance owned per facc.ily more than doubled during the past decadean0 was $10,200 at the end of 1960. On the average, the amount of grctection per family at the end of 1950 was equivalent to about 14 months' disposable income, compared with 20 months at the end of 1960.

The largest dollar amount gains both during 1960 and .during the ten year period were in ordinary life insurance ownership. Ordinary protection in force at the end of 1960 totaled , $340,300,000,000 compared with $149,100,000,000 ten years earlier. The average size ordinary policy in force grew from $2,320 in 1960 to $3,590 in 1960.

There were also large gains during 1960

as well as during the decade since 1950 in group life insurance protection for American workers, which grew from $47,800,000,000 in force at the end of 1950 to $175,400,000,000 at the end of 1960.

Industrial life insurance protection in force has remained about the same in recent years and totaled about $39,600,000,000 at the end of 1960.

Credit life insurance in force on the lives of borrowers — to repay their debts in case of death — totaled $31,200,000,000 at tihe end of 1960.

The Fact Book notes that, despite a downturn in the national economy during 1960, more new life insurance protection was purchased last year than in any previous year. The total amount purchased in 1960 was $74,400,000,000 including $52,900,000,000 of ordinary insurance, $14,600,000,000 of group insurance and $6,900,000,000 of industrial insurance.

Obligations to policy holders and their beneficiaries were backed by $119,600,000,000 of U.S. life 'insurance companies' assets at the end of 1960. Most of these assets were at work in the Ainerlean economy, helping to sustain the nation's growth during a year of reduced economic activities.

NOBODY CAN ANSWER. THE GOVERNOR'S SUGGESTION YET Two events of last week turned the ot lig t briefly again on the need for teaching our children other languages.

One of the events was Gov. Price Daniel's official statement calling for an earlier start in language training for Texas youngsters. It recalled to mind the unquestioned evidence that very young children pick up a second language with much more ease and fluency than ',5.0 older students.

'Ine other event was announcement that Thomas Mann of Laredo, Baylor University honor graduate and career diplomat, has been chosen as the next U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. This brought quick reaction from Mexicans who know Mr. and Mrs. Mann, praising the designation of Mann among other reasons because both Mr. and Mrs. Mann speak Spanish fluently, read it fluently and are steeped in the traditions of the Spanish culture in this hemisphere.

Most of Tom Mann's brilliance and background would be a dead loss to this country if he were not at home in the Spanish language. This is one specific example of how language training can pay off.

In other parts of the world the United States is under varying handicaps because those who represent it cannot speak other languages, notably French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Chinese. The total number of Americans with one or more extra languages

Strana 29 is tiny cocupared to the number of other nationals who are fluent in more than one language. It is a deficiency we have been extremely slow to recognize and even slower to try to overcome.

The stock answer of school administrators and school boards to the suggestion, for instance, from the Governor of Texas that easier and better language training be instituted for Texas children is that teachers are not available.

We have seen no sign of the obvious reply to that answer, to-wit, what are the school people doing to make language teachers available? That, of course gets one into the murky 'depths of professional education where misdirected efforts, absurd over-emphasis on teacher training courses and a general disinterest in anything imaginative are putting brakes on our youngsters.

Other states are managing to find language teachers, are managing to give earlier lnguage training and also to give adult training in extra languages.

There is no good reason why Texans should not do the same thing except that -- we never have — it would entail hard work and extra effort and redirecting of educational expenditures. Judging from what goes on in our educational institutions, it is easier to find money for athletics or lavish buildings or social activities than it is to find a smaller sum of money for a language laboratory or a special task force of language teachers.

Will this lethargy and warped philosophy change any time soon?
