Kennedy laid down this threepoint program: 1. Each school should find those who are physically unfit and give them special help.

2. Every elementary and high school schould provide 15 minutes a day of vigorous exercise for all students, boys and girls.

3. Valid tests should be given to see how well each student measures up— and how much he progresses.

He said it's one of 'democracy's oldest tenets that intellectual and physical fitnes go together.

Kennedy's special adviser on fitness is Charles B. "Bud" Willkinson, athletic director and coach of the UniverSity of Oklahoma's famed football teams.

FROM TI-IE EDITOR'S DESK Correction

Life insurance companies in the U.S. at the 1961 half ---way mark were insuring a record number of families for higher amounts of protection and paying out more benefits than ever before, the Institute: of Life Insurance reports., Ownership of life insurance by American families passed the $6000,000,000,000 figure during the first half of 1961, and as of June 30th was estimated to have reached $610,000,000,000. This was an increase of $24,000,000,000 since the start of the year, and is the largest six-month gain in life insurance history.

"American families are raising their insurance sights," said Holgar J. Johnson, president, Institute of Life Insurance. "Currently, insured families account for a large share of new insurance purchases as they more adequately meet increased responsibilities a n d changing conditions by adding to their life insurance p rograms In view of this, planning and coordinating additions to family life insurance have become major undertakings of the life insurance agents."

The individual insured family on the average owns about $13,000 of life insurance.

In the first half of the year, American families purchased a record $38,800,000,600 of ordinary. group and industrial life insurance, about 10 Per cent over the amount purchased in the same period, 1960, and a higher amount than the 'total purchases for the year 1953.

About two-thirds of the new purchases were ordinary insurance, estimated at $20,200,000,000, some , 2 per cent more than the ordinary amount purcihased during the first six months of 1960. Group life ranee, with an estimated $9,000,000,ar 000 of purchases for the first half of 1961 cent ahead of the first was about 40. half of 1960, a year in which a new record of group purchases was set.

Beat the Summer Slump There is an old, old story about an elderly nun whittling in front of the genero,1 tore in the clays when the country was still moving west. As he sat there, a wagon loaded whin odds and ends of nousehold goods pulled to a stop in front of him.

"Gramps," the glowering driver called from the seat, "we're lookin' for a place to settle. What kinda people live in this town?"

The old man looked up.

"What kinda people lived in th' town you left?" he asked.

"Them!" the driver spat. "They wuz the onriest, meanest critters ever lived.

Gossipy, back-bitin', hypocrites."

"Wall," said the old man as he bowed his head to go on whittling, "them's th' hind we got here, too.'

It was a week later, perhaps. The old man was in his accustomed seat when a wagon very similar to the first pulled up. "Dad," called the smiling driver, "we're looking for a place to settle. What kinda people live in this town?"

"What kind lived in th' one yuh left?" the old man asked again.

"T icy was swell," declared the driver.

"Friendly, honest, give yuh, th' shirt off'n their back. Hated to leave 'em, we did."

"Wall," said the old man. "Tie up to th' hitchin' rack there, friends. Them's Cie kind of people we got in this town, too."

By and large, the people with whom we deal are reflections 04 our own attitudes.

They it pay be likened to an echo which gives back exactly what it gets. A grouch begets grouches; meanness begets meanness. A negative attitude gets a negative response.

It's the same with prospects, and any agent who is even reasonably successful in the business knows it. He wouldn't think of starting his interview by commiserating with the prospect on how bad "things are."

Yet many an agent who wouldn't think of opening an interview with a discussion of bad business conditions will spend the summer starting many of 'his approaches with a discussion of the heat, the humidity, how miserable one cap get in tl summer. And then he'll go back to the -)ffice or home to his wife and corn.dlain about the fact that "you just can't write insurance in the summer." Everybody, he will explain, is so busy thinking about the heat or how to get away from it, nobody wants to carry on a serious discussion.

V28TNIK— WEST, TEXAS What such an agent is getting is a reflection of his own attitude. He is so conscious of the weather that he makes his prospect equally conscious of it. He himself does not want to get down to a serious discussion because of the heat, so his prospect doesn't either.

Today's Babies Can Expect Longer Lives The average baby born today will live a longer, healthier life than his parents, his grandparents, his great-grandparents — and on back Co far as you care to go'.

According to the Institute of Life Insurance, a new peak has been reached in "expectation of life at birth." The latest report of the National Office of Vital Statistics notes that a baby, born in 1959 has a life expectancy of 69.7 years, the highest ever recorded. The figure for 1960, when it caves out next year, may be even higher.

As for the future, life expectancy should keep climbing, unless it is slowed down temporarily, as it was by the flu epidemic a couple of years ago. But even in the best circumstances any increase will not be as rapid as in the past, because the greatest strides have already been made. By the year 2000 the expectation of life of a newborn baby will be just a shade higher than 74 years, statisticians predict.

This table, which covers a span of four generations, illustrates dramatically how nearly 30 years have been added to the avertge life in the past century: Generation Expected Life Newborn baby 69.7 years His parents 56.7 years His grandparents About 46 years fris great-grandparents About 40 years If you ask health experts to explain why people live longer now, they would point most of all to the conquest of conditions and diseases that used to strike elliildren hardest of all; premature birth, infant diarrhea, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria. Typhoid fever has all but disappeared, and pneumonia and tuberculosis are far better controlled than in the past Many more people are alive today because they did not succumb to these ailments as children.

But when they reach their later years, they become vulnerable to other ailments, principally heart diseases and cancer, with heart diseases the more prevalent of the two.

Organizations which concentrate their efforts on heart diseases are seeking to

I want to thank you for the thinking, the planning, and the physical effort that you expended to carry us to where we can now apply ourselves during the remaining part of this year to achieve a record of accomplishment.

This is a particularly appropriate time to congratulate Sister Frances Olexa who has worked her production up to where it exceeds her total for last year, and to congratulate Brother Arthur Lostak who has already almost matched his total production for last year, and to congratulate Brother Alvin Melnar who is the leader in our district in the number of new members enrolled into our Order

vESTNIK—WEST,TEXAS

Strana 14 this year, and to specially congratulate Sister. Arnold Franek who as a newcomer to our district had 13 new certificates issued in the month of June alone.

Let us now consider the accomplishments of three other brothers in the matter of the marvelous work they are doing to benefit our Order.

With reference to my predecessor district organizer, Brother J. M . Skrabanek, I do not consider myself adequate to the task of commenting on his accomplishments. I feel that the report of our Order's chictif organizing official in the une 14th edition of the Vestnik best covers Brother Skrabanek's achievements. On page 14 of that edition, Brother Joe B. Hejny informed us all that Brother Skrabanek wrote the largest amount ever written in one application, that he wrote the greatest amount of coverage ever written in one month, and that he placed in force the greatest amount of coverage ever written to the tine of the year when that report was written. I sincerely commend Brother Hejny for so adequately reporting this (fine job to you, and I hope that you review it as a salute to Brother Skrabanek.

Our Brothers A M. Vrla. and John R. Krizan are in District 3. Brother Krizan's Itreanendous achievement of writing 71 applications for membership in one month is so, remarkable that I am sure every organizer in District Five joins in this salute to him. All ! further and continuing success of this nature by Brother Krizan and all ether organizers will assuredly benefit our Order from the standpoint of the ,need felt by any financial institution to broaden its income base in order to more adequately cope with inflationery trends in the expenses of operations. Brother Vrla is to be particularly complimented not only on Brother Krizan's splendid work. but also on the results of preparatory work to Which he has so devoted himself in drder to help and encourage such fine workers.

Please accept this expression of appreciation for the opportunity to work to our common goals with such devoted brother and sister members.

Fraternally yours, JaiIda Cerny District Organizer, Dist 5

I don't know whose fault it was, the Editor's or mine, but an error was made in my last letter, the name Zabcik was omitted.

Since the rain delayed us that morning, we first ate a delicious dinner of fried chicken and French fries at Young'bloods on 26th Street in Waco, Texas, and all you could hear was "yum, yum" good, from all the mefrabers and then the chicken was tapped with ice cream and ice box pie.

I can say that was very good and then we went to the Waco. Cen-Tex Zoo and all of the members enjoyed looking at the animals and,also the brothers and sisters who made it possible to be there.

Fron there we decided to go to the "Candy Cane Playland" where we had a lot of fun and loughs. We all rode the Choo-Choo, Train and the members enjoyed the bumper cars and "tilt and whirl" and lots of other rides. Most of all, I liked the bumper cars then the tilt and whirl. The bumper cars were a lot of fun where you would be going along and then someone would bump and spin you every which way. But I enjoyed it.

Attrana 19 We also went to the Cameron Park and we played golf, swang and rode the merry-go-round, and then we went to get a snack at the Chuck Wagon on Sixth Street. We ate Hot Dogs and Hamburgers and cold drinks Boy, what a day we all had. Wish we could have them more often!

When we went home, we all talked about the good food and the happy, merry rides, we had at the Candy Cane Playand. That's a day I will never forget, that Youth Club Picnic of Lodge No. 54.

So don't forget our next meeting, August 6th, and also our Teen-Age Dance on August 6, that the Youth Club of Lodge 54 will put on. Music will be by Cruz Ortez and ()rah.

All of the Teen-agers know his music, so all be there August 6, for our Meeting and the Teen-age Dance that night.

DTI sorry that some of the members inisse,d our picnic. They missed a lot tin that day.

Fraternally yours, Rose Marie Marek, Historian, Lodge 54 ) • i • WEST, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: The Youth of SPJST Lodge No , 54, held a Youth Club Picnic. We would like to thank Sisters Frankie Mae Mikeska, Helen Cepak and Estelle Marek for such a wonderful time we had.

I am hoping that next spring we shall have better luck.

Wednesday, July 26, 1961 they were in the Vestnik. All of you probably have heard the old saying, "Nobody can read my notes exoept I." That is how I recognize my notes. I do not know how they got into the Vestnik but there they were.

Since I have my notes, I can make a few corrections. Our lovely duchess was Little Sister Donna Kacir, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Kacir. Her escort was Kyle Kacir son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kacir. They are members of the Temple Lodge No. 87. And a lovely duchess she certainly was!

Sister Betty Jean Zabcik was the runner up for the queen and not the duchess as previously stated. I think that all of the contestants and the little flower girls deserve much credit for being participants in such a lovely affair.

I wish to thank especially Brother Joe Raymond Mikeska, Sister Patsy and Frances Hejl for helping me with the decoration of the hall. They are my stand bys. I do not know what I'd do when they will refuse to help me. I also wish to thank Brother Ben Mikolaj for the beautiful crown he donated to the queen, Brother Hejny for MC'ing the program, Brothers Frank Klinkowsky, Emil Hejl, Edwin Chlapek, and Steve Hruska for selling tickets. To all of you for the beautiful flowers and the many things you did and especially to all of you who were brave enough to come out in such weather.

Here's hoping that all of you will come to Camp Tahuaya Encampment. Thank you, Sister Rose Mikolaj for helping me advertise. More of you should do the same. I wonder what it will take to ge our editor to come to our District I meetings or youth activities. He has missed three already. If he would have been at our District II Achieveinent Day in Buckholts, he would not be so intrigued with the lovely exhibit of butterflies someone had in Dallas at Lodge 130 because our Sister Karen Ann Kovar had a butterfly and bug collection exhibit of which any entomologist would be proud.

Everybody come to Camp Tahuaya on Sunday, August 20, and have a wonderful (day.

Fraternally yours, Clara Hejl District II Youth Director " • LODGE NO. 84 DALLAS Dear Readers, Around this time every year all the activities at the BPJST Lodge 84 Teen Club are centered around one thing.

When we were going on our way to Waco, it was raining, but then it quit.

We stopped at Youngblood's and had a fried chicken dinner.

Then we went to the Zoo. We saw a lot of different animals there. Then we went to Westview Village. I rode a lot of things there. The best thing I liked to ride was the bumper car. It is a lot of fun trying to bump into somebody. I didn't get bumped into too much, but I bumped into a lot of people.

Then we went to Cameron Park We played a lot and then we ate Lunch and went home. We had a lot of fun. All of us hope to ga again next year. Thanks to the Youth Club parents for carrying us. I am proud of Lodge No. 54, West.

Sports Column From Texas Game and Fish Commission Austin — Texas hunters will be able to kill three deer, the third antlerless deer to be known as bonus deer, in at least 14 Texas counties, in the upcoming season starting November 16. These are counties under regulatory authority where there is an overpopulation of deer, and efforts will be made to bring sex ;ratio into balance by special permit for a third deer.

These counties include Bandera, Crockett, Bdwards, Llano, Mason, Medina and Sutton counties in the Edwards Plateau regulatory district; Comal, Demmitt and Zavala counties in the South Texas regulatory district; Freestone, Grimes and Robertson Counties in the Trinity-Brazos regulatory district; and Basque County in the Possum Kingdom district.

The bonus deer tag must be obtained, from a landowner, where the area has been designated as having a surplus of deer. The harvest of doe deer will be permitted in most of the other counties under regulatory authority, and these permits will be available from the landowner after census counts have been made . It is possible that bonus deer may be available in several other counties where the regulatory authority takes effect after August 28. The bonus deer allowance will be the first in a quarter of a century, by which it has been legtl ti kill three deer in. Texas. It is interesting to note, according to H. D.

• Austin — Fishing rights in public waters are defined in a complete article in the July issue of "Texas Game and Fish" magazine, according to T. D Carroll, director of information and education.

This article was prepared by Harris 'Toler, Assistant Attorney General, and covers all of the e statutes affecting the fishing in public. waters. "The wildlife tresources of this state are the property Of the state and are held in trust by the state for the benefit of its people, with no proprietary rights existing in the people to such game and fishy until such are reduced to capture in a legal manner," Toler points out. He then covers the rights of persons who own land to protect against tresspass, and says that the Legislature cannot remove these rights except for conservation purposes, or when the use of such land constitutes a public nuisance.

According to Toler's article, it is legal for a person to fish in any navigable stream, but they must not tresspass upon the bordering landowners without per• mission. Toler cites many previous cases in fully covering the question of public rights in fishing lakes and streams of Texas.

Austin — New fishing regulations on Lake Texoma have been promulgated by the Game and Fish Commission, with the passage of regulatory authority covering the Lake Texoma area of Cooke and Grayson counties.

Under the new regulations there will be no closcd season on largemouth and spotted black bass, with a daily creel limit of 10 bass, any size There will be no closed season on crappie, with, a daily creel limit of 25, any length. Channel, blue and Iflatmead catfish can be caught throughout the year, with a limit of 25 fish of any length. All other fish species not specifically listed are not regulated, which means that the limit has been taken off white bass (sandies) in this lake. This conforms with the long existing Oklahoma regulation, which did not provide for a creel limit on white bass.

The new regulations provide that hooks on throw lines and trot lines must

Stream 20 be spaced not less than three feet apart, and shall not number more than 100 hooks per line. Spear gun and spear and bows and arrows may be used for taking only rough 'fish. It Shall be unlawful to have in posession any fish other than rough fish while using either spear gun or bow and arrow, Rough fish are defined as carp, suckers, buffalo, gar, shad and drum.

In Lake Possum Kingdom, throw lines may be used with hooks not less than three feet apart , but no trot line may possess more than 50 hooks, and not more than two trot lines may be used by any one person at any one time.

• &•I JUDGE OFFERS ADVICE TO TEEN-AGERS Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager: "What can we do? Where can we go?" The answer is to go home!

Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk. Wash: the car, learn to cook, scrub the floors. Repair the sink, •build a boat, get a job.

Help the minister, priest or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons.

And then when you are through — and not too tired — read a book.

Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities. The world does not owe you a living — you owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or hi poverty or sick or lonely again.

In plain, simple words, grow up; quit being a crybaby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or lady.

You are supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years. They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure.

But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, thinking and requests.

In Heaven's name, grow up and go home!

FOLLOW SIMPLE RULES IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Vacation time is near. Soon millions of people will be driving about the country and automobile accidents will occur with increasing frequency. What should a person do when involved in an accident?

At such times it is hard to keep your 'wits about you and know just what to do. It is therefore a goqd, idea to plan In advance just what you would do in event of a smash-up. Here are a few simple rules that every !driver should commit to memory: 1. Stop! Failure to stop can result in serious criminal consequences.

2 Render Aid. if anyone is injured: (1) Render first aid. (2) Stop bleeding.

(3) Call a doctor or an ambulance or both. (4) Do not move an injured person In any way that could possibly add to his injury.

3. Protect the Scene from Further Damage. You may be liable for damage to approaching drivers, unless they are properly warned. If the highway is ob structed at night, have someone turn his headlight beams on the wrecked vehicles.

4.Call an Officer. Policeman, Highway Patrolmen, Sheriffs and their their deputies are trained accident investigators whose testimony may be invaluable in establishing your civil claim for damages.

5. Gather Information Write it down. Don't trust your memory. Don't guess — be specific. Measure skid marks.

Stepe off distances. Be sure to obtain names and addresses of witnesses. You are required by law to exhibit your driver's license to the other driver — and he must do the same.

6. Be Careful What You Say. Even if you feel you probably are to blame, it is best to make no admission. You may learn later that the other . driver was equally at fault, or more so. Emotional comments can be misconstrued by others, or may be misquoted . Whatever you say, make it factual.

7. See Your Doctor if there is the slightest chance you may be, injured.

Serious injuries do not always result in immediate pain or bloodshed..

8. Consult Your Lawyer Immediately.

The sooner your lawyer is brought into the matter, the better he can advise you and protect your rights. He can obtain statements from the witnesses while their memories are fresh, and do many, other things to insure that the true facts are preserved. Get your lawyer's advice before giving any interviews or statements to investigators or adjusters for the utibtr side.

Wednesday, July 26, 1961 9. Inform YoUr Insurance Company Promptly . Failure todo so may void your policy.

10. Report the Accident to the 'Department of Public Safety. This is required by law if there is any injury. death, or total damages exceed $25.

An official accident report form may be procured from the police, sheriff's department, Highway Patrol or State Dept. of Public Safety.

(This newsfeature, prepared by the State Bar of Texas, is written to inform — not to advise. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully advised concerning the facts involved, because a slight variance in facts may change the application of the law.) .

Wednesday, July 20, 1961 TRAILER LICENSE LAW IN EFFECT New license plates for farm trailers not used for hire are now available, according to Bob A. Lilly, Texas Farm Bureau legislative director.

The Department of Public Safety has advised farmers that the $5.00 license tags are now in county tax collectors' offices across the state. Owners of farm trailers of between 4,000 and 10,000 lbs. gross weight ►Dust have these tags displayed on their trailers in accordance with a new law passed during' the regular session of hte 57th Legislature. The Jaw also provides a 30 m.p.h. speed limit, but exempts trailers up to 10,000 pounds gross from, brake requirements.

The DPS indicated that it will give trailer owners a reasonable period of time to secure the tags before strict enforcement begins. The law became effective with the Governor's signing of House Bill 1082, the farm trailer bill, on May 29, but the new tags were not available until just recently.

Lilly said, that the Texas Farm Bureau has been attempting to secure passage of a farm trailer law for several years.

He explained that the $5.00 license cost was a compromise to for,stall a veto of the the bill.

The TFB legislative director said that the new law was necessary to permit farmers to continue using their trailers to haul farm products. The DPS had warned that it was planning to begin strict enforcer rent of trailer licensing laws if a special farm trailer law was not enacted this year. Before the new law 'was passed, farmers were required by law to ,obtain commercial licenses for trailers over 4,000 pounds gross weight even though they noivoally used their trailers for only a few weeks each year.

Farmers who fail to obtain tags will be subject to a fine and also must immediately register their trailer as a commercial trailer and obtain a commercial license plate. A commercial license for a 10,000 pound, trailer would cost $55.00. ) • 4 • TIPS ON TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN A trip with young children won't age you if you take some sensible steps to keep your tiny tourists happy. Keep baby content by taking along his favorite toys, the right baby foods will add to his traveling enjoyment — and to your convenience. Older kids will enjoy being given specific responsibilities in connection with the trip On buses, trains and planes, there are ways to keep the kids happily occupied and out of fellow passengers' hair; if Junior gets carsick, hand him a cut lemon to suck on.

VESTNtIC — WEST, TEXAS TIPS FORA GOOD CITIZEN Recognize weaknesses in government, but don't harp on them.

Beware of oversimplifying. Government is a complicated business and to be fair, one must get the "big view."

Make clear distinctions between government encroachment on the rights of the individual and necessary public services; between comoraunism or socialism and genuine progress in correcting social abuses.

Ask yourself, what are you now doing to strengthen local, state and federal government?

Give your moral support to those with the needed character and• competence who are thinking of making government services a career.

Remind your friends to think more of what they 'awe their country, and less uf what it owes them.

Expect ingratitude and setbacks in your efforts to improve matters. And don't be dismayed by any criticism that may come for your lack of ability or experience.

Be realistic enought to appreciate that no candidate will please you in every respect.

Speak for an intelligent discussion of issues. Honest disagreement is one way to better understanding.

Remember that "let George do it" is the motto of those who selfishly expect others to provide goad governorient for them while they do nothing but complain.

Keep your eye on the big problems instead of spending too much time with less important'ones.

When voting, always strive to put the welfare of the country before political party, financial advantage or personal interest.

Pray for government officials that they may have both the wisdom and courage to think and act on principle, not expediency.

Strang 27 SOME AVERAGE FIGURES ON THE! AMERICAN FAMILY • Everyone knows there is no such thing as an "average family" or an "average day" — but if you believe in averages, and like to quote them, here is a rundown on what's average today.

For example, on an average day about 4,000 couples become man and wife.

Average age of the groom is 22 years, four months. His bride is about two years younger.

Because they have a home to furnish, or sbecause the young couple want to automobile they can call their own (or simply because they want to start saving for the future), the average bride keeps on working at her job after marriage.

In this age, automobiles seem to cone first; the average couple who buy a car secure one early in their married life. The figures show that the most popular age for purchasing a used car is between 18 and 24 years. (For a newcar buyer, the most common age is between 35 and 44 years).

The serious business of buying and outfitting a home starts a couple of years after marriage. Most homes are purchased after a husband reaches the age of 25; and that is also the age at which most young families begin to purchase the bulk of their furniture and household appliances.

About two years after her marriage the average wife presents her husband with a more-than-average son or daughter (there is a slightly higher chance of a boy being born than a girl). If they have a child, he or she makes an appearance, on the average, about two and a half years after the first. A third child, if there is one, comes along three years later.

Don't be mislead by these figures. As statisticians point out, American onothers really have an average of 2.2 children.

For the average family, the peak of income comes during the father's middle years, somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. Although 65 is more or less thought of as the age when men retire from wark, this is not the case with the avertge father. He is likely to keep on working until he is 68. After that, he can handle his grandchildren on a full time basis.

• • We can make this year, 1961, a greater success and it is in our power to do so, if we work together in harmony ever striving to be friends and work and win out youth.

HOW TO GUARD YOUR HEALTH WHILE TRAVELING Whether it's a weekend jaunt in the country or an extended vacation, don't let illness spoil your trip. Instead, be prepared . Do all you can before you leave — like getting your car checked, getting yourself checked, inquiring about the conditions of the place you are visiting. Don't forget essential items — the prescription for your glasses, an extra car key, tablets to prevent motion sickness. And on your trip, be quite as cautious of the drinking water in Europe as the hamburger served at the Greasy Spoon Diner. Learn the three krost imCleveland was the only U . S.
