Life Companies See Alcoholism As Problem Life insurance companies are dealing with alcoholism as one of the nation's most serious health problems.

There are no firm statistics on the extent of alcoholism in the United States, but it is estimated that, of the '70,000,000 or more Americans who use alcoholic beverages, as many as 5,000,000 of them are problem drinkers.

It is estimated that about 3.0 per cent of the nation's labor force are problem drinkers. Alcoholism costs A,nerican business more than $1,000,000,000 a year in absenteeism, accidents and mistakes on the job due to drunkenness and hangovers.

The life companies' three-pronged approach includes: 1. Educating the public regarding the nature of alcoholism and the effect Of excessive drinking.

2. Helping communities, business firms and other organizations to rehabilitate alcoholics.

3. Demonstrating the effect of excessive drinking on life expectancy.

A statement by one life company says, "We are not concerned with the morality , of drinking or with prohibition. Man and alcohol have lived together for centuries in nearly all civilizations. Only a small fraction of those who use alcohol become problem drinkers. Why they do is

!SU Ana

II;

something which must be worked out in each individual case."

Life insurance companies have been concerned for more than 100 years about the fact that excessive drinking iropairs :health and leads to early death. Serious mental and physical disturbances are often related to drinking, including cirrhosis of the liver, neuritis and mental detorioration. But one of the main lethal effects of excessive drinking on the individual is its role in violent death, particularly from accidents, which often involve other persons.

On the basis of life insurance mortality experience in relation to drinking habits, most companies will issue a life insurance policy at standard rates to a person who drinks moderately — for instance, not more than one or two cocktails a day. But, as a person develops a pattern of excessive drinking, the risk of death increases And when routine inquiry reveals that the applicant is an intemperate drinker, he may have to pay a , higher premium for his policy, if he can obtain insurance at all.

The person who frequently drinks to "the point of moderate exhilaration or hilarity" might be considered as substandard risk.

Among persons who drink to "the point of boisterousness," the death rate may run moderately or considerably higher than normal, depending on the frequency of the episodes. They are often required to pay a correspondingly higher premiut.n.

The death rate runs several times higher than normal among those who drink "to the point of drunkenness" — where they lose control of their facilities. If they get drunk frequently, they may be considered uninsurable. Even 'those who can obtain life insurance must usually pay a substantially higher premium.

I Life insurance companies have led the way in breaking a long - standing 'taboo against public discussion of aka'holism. Through advertising, educational materials and other forms of publicity, the life companies have helped to bring the problem out into the open.

Life companies are also helping other large business and industrial first to combat alcoholism among workers. ) • 4, ° ( Don't work too hard making your guests feel at home — if they wanted to feel that way, they would have stayed there.

For 1961 High School Graduates AND PROSPECTIVE COLLEGE STUDENTS Early September is the time of year when most colleges and universities throughout the land will begin their school year. Although another semester will start next February, the Fall Semester usually offers the best selection of freshman courses. No doubt, many readers of this article already have made plans to attend some college or university, and much of the information provided here will be a repetition of somethin,g they have heard before. For those of you who have not yet decided or made 'plans to attend college, the information contained herein may be of sate help.

Although this article applies to all prospective college students, the latter part is wirtten in particular ifor those persons of Czech descent.

Although graduation was the end of your high school career, it was also as the alternate name implies a commencement — the beginning of another career which will most likely prove to be much longer and much more important than the previous one. I am sure that you are aware of this and have either already embarked 'upon this new career or are seriously considering what your future plans and activities concerning it should be.

The deans see our prospects and sign them up.

If I can be of any help, please write or and counselors at most junior and senior colleges will also be 'happy to advise call, you, regardless of whether or not you Fraternally, plan to attend their institution. Of A. M. Vrla, District III Organizer course, most of these persons will only

Wednesday, August 30, 1961 counsel with you and you will have to make your own final ;decision.

If you are undecided as to exactly what occupation or profession you wish to follow but are interested in obtaining :a higher education, then I su ggest that you plan to attend a college or university this fall. You need not be an honor graduate to feel qualified to attend college.

Almost everyone benefits in many ways from having attended college. Although it is best to know what general field of study you will want to pursue, the first two years of many college degree programs are very similar, and you can definitely decide what you will major in after you have had an opportunity to learn more about the various fields of endeavor. The very excellent aptitude tests and counselling you receive in most colleges will help you greatly in making your •final decision . In addition to giving you time to decide, going to college will be a continuation of your education which is very important for the future.

Because so many persons have obtained college degrees in recent years, the bachelor's degree from a college is now about equal in. significance to that which a high school diploma had twenty or thirty years ago. To compete with the "next person" in most professions even 'now and especially in the future, it will be practically essential that you have a college degree.

If you wish to attend college but believe that the financial situation of your family will not permit it, please investigate this matter more fully. In addition to the part-time work, scholarships, and loan funds which are available to college students, there are several special scholarships and loan funds available to you if you are of Czech descent. Although scholarships are the best when obtainable, loans are next best because they are made at a low rate of interest and repayment does not have to start until after graduation and you are •eaming.

If you are a wale ,graduate and are concerned ' about the unstable world situation and the probability of your being drafted for military service, do not let that interfere with your long-range plans for the future. Almost every generation has been faced with a similar problem, and it usually has not materialized as the tremendous obstacle which it may have seeemd to be. Merely waiting for possible induction will accomplish little and attending college may help you a great deal in several ways. Because of the need for college graduates, the Selective Service boards are liberal in ' granting deferments to draft-age college students. Also at many colleges you may

Wednesday, August 30, 1961 join one of the . many ROTC programs which may permit you to complete your college training and earn an officer's commission before you are 'Called to active duty. Even if you should be inducted While in college, having something started and accomplished and having soniething to look forward to and to return to will make your time in the service seem shorter and more enjoyable.

The training you receive in college before induction will of course better qualify you for more desirable positions in the military services.

To help you choose a college or university and course of study, write to "The Registrar" of the various schools in which you may be interested for free iniformation bulletins for freshmen; study these bulletins and then consult with your parents and high school teachers.

In general the state supported schools and public (those which receive state assistance funds) junior colleges have the •lowest tution fees. Junior colleges usually have the added advantage of being located relatively near your home, smaller classes and the opportunity for more • individual assistance, the greater opportunities for participation in student activities and leadership development.

Because most schools start their fall semester in early September, you should select your school now and then hasten to take all the necessary actions (as outlined in the information bulletin) required for admission and registration in your chosen school. To expedite 'Tatters you may need to visit your chosen school to talk to . the regiStrar and to make housing, part-time work, and other ar- ran gem en ts.

If you are of Czech descent and select a school which teaches courses in the Czech language and/or has a Czech Club, I strongly urge you to join the CZech Club and plan to study some ,Czech either as a major course of study, to fulfill foreign language requirements in other courses of study, or to obtain a better working knowledge of the language for your, own benefit. There are several reasons for and benefits from your study of Czech.

1. The beginning course in Czech will be relatively easy for you if you are even only slightly familiar with the language. Word pranounciations are the 'hardest hurdle for anyone starting to learn Czech; but most persons of Czech descent seem to have a natural ability to "twist their ,tongues as required for the iproper pronounciations. Courses in Czech will count for credit toward most degrees. Whether or not they count for credit, insist upon your right to learn the language of your forefathers. Why not utilizee and add to your existing

ViASTNi1C

TEXAS

knowledge and natural ability in Czech instead of starting on some other foreign language with which you are totally unfamiliar and which may prove of very little if any use to you.

2-. A better knowledge of the Czech language will be of help to you in learning other' foreign languages which you may decide to study. The more foreign languages you know, the easier it is to learn additional ones. Knowledge of one or more foreign languages will better qualify you for omany additional job opportunities — no matter what may be your major course of study. The Czech language is often rdferred to as the "Key to learning the Russian language" which is at present very important in various branches of the gavernment and in many commercial and educational activities. There is an ever increasing need in the U. S. diplomatic and military services and in the scientific, industrial, and literary fields of activity of persons who can "deal with the Russians in their own language."

3. Taking a course in Czech may better qualify you to receive certain -scholarships and/or obtain student loans. Although registration for Czech courses may not necessarily be a prerequisite for obtaining scholarships and loans, such action will certainly be in your favor.

4. A better knowledge of the Czech language may be of considerable practical value to you after graduation if you engage in any professional or business enterprise which competes for the patronage of the many persons who do and will continue to prefer use of the Czech language. Also, there are many fraternal, religious, and mutual organizations in Texas which will continue to require officers who are proficient in both the Czech and English languages.

5. A better knowledge of the Czech language and membership in the Czech Club (you do not have to study Czech to belong to a Czech Club) will better prepare you for risore successful living by a more complete acceptance and assimilation into the American society and way of life. Most likely your name — even if you change it — will always be known Or recognized by some as being of Czech origin. This will be to your credit because practically everyone is aware of and respects the patriotic and cultural contributinos which the Czechs have made to help make this country great.

Most people realize that this country is 'great because we are a composite group which includes the strands of many peoples and many cultures, and that one can be (and indeed is more likely to be) a true, loyal and more appreciative American if he does not forsake the lan-

Btrant4,16

'guage and culture of his ancestors. If you can answer the occasional' friendly questions about the language and Ciilture of your ancestors, others will respect rather than criticize you for it. As you grow older, you, yourself, will feel an ever increasing psychological and conequently practical need for • knowledge about your ancestral ties and cultural heritage and background. Avail yoUrself of present opportunities to gain: 'this knowledge for your own future benefit.

I hope you will continue your education at a college or university of your own choice. If the Czech Ex-Students Association .of Texas can assist. you in any way, please call on us. Ii you• are interested in learning more about• the scholarships, Czech and laussiancourses, and the Czech Clubs at U. of T. and A. and M, write directly to Dr. Eduard Micek, Department of Slavonic Languages, University of Texas, Austin, Texas,' or Dr. J.

V2STN1 WASP, TEXAS Strom 16 Life Companies of U.S. About Our Rest Home At the Taylor Lodge Meeting held Now Number 1,457 Sunday, August 13, at Taylor, Texas,

There are now 1,457 U. S. legal reserve life insurance companies serving more than 118,000,000 policyholders, the Institute of Life Insurance says in its annual survey of life cc ►avanies reported by the Insurance Departments of 50 states and the District of Columbia. This total represents 14 companies more than were reported last year and more than double the number of companies doing business ten years ago.

"Only about 1 per cent of these life companies do business on a "nationwide basis," pointing up the regional concentration of a major proportion of the companies," said the Institute. "For instance, in the past fifteen years the greatest number Of new companies have been established in the South and Southwest, where the growth in population has out-paced other sections of the U. S" Life insurance companies are located in every state, with 20 states having 20 or more companies. Texas continued to lead the state list, as it has for many years, with 280 companies domiciled here —Louisiana ranks second with 118 companies, followed in rank by: Arizona . 116; Illinois, 70; Indiana, 55; Pennsylvania, 51; South Carolina, 50; Alabama, 43; (Oklaho► ra, 43; New York, 34.

Currently 355 U. S. cities have life insmance company home offices, led by Dallas with 118. Houston ranks second with 56 life companies, followed by Phoenix, 49, Chicago, 44 and Philadel!labia, 39.

Stock companies, owned by stockholders, account for 1,301 or 89 per cent of the total number of companies, while 156 or 11 per cent are mutual companies, owned by policyholders. On the other hand . more than three-fifths 1, the major share of the total life once in force is is with the mutual panies, this apparent discrepancy due to the fact that most of the ycw:.6er companies are stock while a large percentage of the mutual companies go back many years.

As of mid-year 1961, there were life companies in their second century operation. An additional 89 coir4paniL,_ have passed the half-century mark of operations. Companies which have over $1 billion of life insurance in force numbered 76 at mid-year.

All of the sisters are asked to please bring, as usual, a covered dish of their' choice or sweets enough for their group, There will be no cards sent out to members as this is aliways well reported through this good paper, the Vesntik, and I hope those who don't receive this paper will be notified by their organizer.

Here is some More news of our Lodge members and our Youth Club members who took part in the West Longhorn Rodeo Parade, August 10 and 12.

The most exciting days were at my hocr:ie when a few other sisters and I began thinking of building and entering a float in the parade. No one 'ha .d any idea whatsoever how to begin the thing, having lots of fun and laughing all of the time exchanging ideas when we realized that it was getting late in the day and we had to have something done or else there wouldn't be a float built for our Queen, Duchess and Flowergirl to ride on, if we didn't get to work and. get through by the next afternoon at 5:30 p.m. parade time.

So, we pulled out the big four wheel cotton trailer under the trees and we went to work nailing 24 inch high chicken wire around the trailer bed and stuck it up with pink and white paper napkins.

Next we laid three layers of chicken coops in the form of steps on the top, covered it all up with white bed sheets and pinned and nailed it all up with pink and white paper napkins and finished it with our blue, red and white emblem of our SPJST on each side and then one sign on each side stating that Sister Linda and her court, was the latest crowned Queen Of District Three, and that she was from Cottonwood Lodge No. 6 SPJST.

17 ESTNIX WEST, TEXAS

It was the prettiest float in the parade, at least, that is what everyone told us; many pictures were taken of it both days, and no (no one guessed that they were seated on chicken coops.)

It just goes to show you what one can do if you just want to, but there always has to. be a leader and I personally want to thank all the good sisters and brothers who helped me. They are: Sisters Georgia Pavlicek, Helen Zapalac, Ruby Gerik, Linda Mynar, Sue Kutschero.vsky, Jeanette Krizan, Dorothy Pa yheck. Brothers John Krizan, James Pavlicek and another nice boy whose name I failed to catch. Sorry. Also thanks to Brother Ernie Uptmore and his wife for the use of their little imported car Angelia in pulling the float. The driver was brother John Krizan and yours truly. And thanks to brother Ed Smajstrla, for drawing the SPJST signs.

I also had a decorated red pickup truck with blue and red crepe paper filled with our Youth Club Members riding in the parade and thanks to the James Pavlicek's for the use of their truck and to our editor for publishing and taking all of the pictures for our Vestnik.

Here is another event of fun coming up. for our Club Members at West Pool on Wednesday, August 30 iron 5:00 p.m. till ? or anytime in the afternoon if any youngsters wish to• go sooner. All you have to: do is beg your parents to bring you there and to bring a bite to eat, enough for your group for our snack after the swim, as we did last year. All of the parents are invited to come. Let's all go swimming together. All of the members are welcomed, old or young. You can bring a friend. I'll make the arrangernents for all of us. I hope all of you will read this announcement in time in case Of cold or rainy weather, we will have it the next day, August 31, same time. Do be there. Also remember our next Meeting, Sept. 10th. Until again Fraternally yours, Sister Ruth Krizan ) • 4 • ( WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: At the recent District TWo Youth Activity Day held at beautiful Camp Tahuaya, near Belton, Texas, one of the specially delicious salads served was brought in by sister EMil Hejl of Seaton Lodge, and she gladly jotted it down for the cooks in our midst to share and enjoy.

Kidney Bean Salad Take one can of green beans, drain; one can yellow beans, drain and one can of the large red kidney beans, drain.

Chop one Inedium onion, add one-half cup cut celery; one-half cup green pep-

Wednesday, August 30, 1961, pers chopped, add to the above bean mixtrue.

For the sauce: take one-half cup sugar; one-half cup wesson oil and onehalf cup vinegar (not too. strong). Pour over the mixture. Chill for a few hours, mixing occasionally.

Sister Hejl stated that this was especially good with any kind of barbecued meat. It was certainly an attractive dish and a most delicious one.

While we were discussing this, sister Ben Zabcik, who also had a delicious bean salad stated that instead of the red kidney beans she used lima beans, which they liked best. Her salad too, won raves, so, do try them on your family..

Many of you have home canned beans which will make it very easy for you to put together.

Sister Trlica of Granger promised to send Vestnik's recipe collectors her recepe for the delicious Italian Spaghetti Casserole which she brought to the Meeting which won raves. Another good sister whose name I cannot recall promised to send Vestnik's collectors of recepes her recepe for that wonderful Oatmeal Cake which she brought to the Meeting which won raves for her. The cooks had a field day on this day, as well as the children.

The Orange-Poppyseed Cake contributed by Mrs. Mikusek to Vestnik's readers recently published got some wonderful praise at the Meeting. It is so easy to put together and everyone who reported an it, said they and their families liked it very, much. We know Mrs Mikusek will be glad to hear this as the recepe was her creation.

The cotton picking in this area is about three-fourths over. The prediction is for about 80,000 bales in Nueces County. The cotton picking machines took over this year. Usually there are here during the harvest, but this year, due to the machines, it did not even seem like it was picking time.

The yield is good this year especially for those who poisoned regularly. On the poisoned cotton the yield was well over a bale to the acre.

We had a thunderstorm here last Thursday which left about an inch of rain over the country.

Brother John Pavelka is on the sick list again. Brother Pavelka 'had an operation some time ago. He got better, but now again he is sick. We wish hilri a speedy recovery as we miss him at the meetings. . Again I remind you all of the meeting, let's have a good attendance and we will have a social after the meeting all the ladies bring the usual refreshments.

Sports Column Short Duck Season—Geese Hopes Better Austin Hunters disappointed over the short duck season and low bag limit may find sore consolation in the snow and blue geese possibilities. There is every indication that there will be a heavy migration of these two species into Texas again this year, acording to Howard Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission.

The duck season will begin November 18 and close December 17, running for 30 days only, with a bag limit of 3 per day, and 6 in passession. The season is closed on redheads, canvasbacks and blackbellied tree ducks. Under the seasonal limits offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Texas could have had a 40-day season, for a 2 duck kill.

However, the Commission felt that it would be better in Texas to increase the bag limit and shorten the season. This, in effect, will give hunters an opportunity for a better total kill.

These dates also were set because, in surveys of recent years by the Commission waterfowl biologists, this was found to be the big success period of the season.

The goose season will be 60 days, beginning November 3 and closing January 1, The limit will be 5 a day, and 5 in possession. This limit may include 2 Canadas or one speckled belly and one Canada. It may include, in addition, 3 snows or blues, or it will be possible to have 5 snows and/or blues with no specs and honkers.

The duck season will open at 12 noon

Straus 27 the first day, and the hours will be from sunrise to. sunset thereafter. The goose season will open at sunrise the first day, and will close at sunset.

The short season and bag limit was not unexpected, according to Dadgen. There has been an extreme drouth in the Canadian provinces, particularly in that area which is the nesting grounds of the •Centeral Flyway. The prairie potholes of were hard bit. The conditions in the Mississippi Flyway are comparable to those of the Central Flyway, but in that flyway the duck season has been set at 40 days with a limit of 2 ducks per day.

In the Pacific Flyway, conditions were a little better, and a longer season and larger bag limit was allowed.

• ♦ Austin — The outlook for the 1961-62 oyster season along the Texas coast is not too good. This comes fram an announcement of Howard Lee, director of the marine (fisheries division of the Game and Fish Commission.

In a notice issued to oyster dealers, most of the oyster producing areas were described as being in poor condition at the beginning of the season. Most areas of Galveston Bay, according to the natice, were heavily fished during the 196061 season, and the quality of market oysters has been greatly reduced.

In Matagorda Bay, the prospects for the upcoming season have been described as less than fair. In San Antonio Bay, however, prospects seem to be somewhat better than for the past season, the conditions are reported as favorable for a ' good harvest throughout the season. This is despite the fact that several reefs near the mouth of the Guadalupe River had almost total kills frosm freshwater during the early spring and summer. ) • 4 • ( During the average year, the auto industry of America uses 64% of the rubber, 70% of the plate glass, and 20% of all steel used. ) • alf, • Junior may someday tell his grand children: "Why, when I was going to school, I had to walk half a block from the parking lot to the building!" ) • 4 • (

Ve sttedu, dne 30. srpna, 1961 TILE BLEIBLERVILLE FISH FRY

The Roto Magazine of the Houston Chronicle carried a featured article on [he annual Bleiblerville SPJST Lodge Irish Fry, in the issue of August 13, showing our brothers with the fresh fish caught in the Gulf, then coating them with cornmeal and into the large pans filled with hot fat, to be scooped out by huge ladels into dish-pan size containers for eating.

The Fish Fry is getting more popular each year for more and more out-oftown folks come down to the SPJST Fish Fry — all you can eat for $1.25, with bread, catsup and coffee thrown in free.

After the feast there is a concert, and after sundown a dance follows to good old Czech music.

"Years ago," goes the story, "the oldtimers say, folks attending the Bleiblerville fish fries danced all afternoon and all night. Now, though, nobody starts dancing until evening. Too hot to polka, 'specially after all that hot fish." Now we add to the article: What a wonderful, old fashioned good time this is, outdoors, comfortably dressed, eating fish and and acre fish in the best company in the world, with Lodge brothers and sisters.

To the Bleiblerville members, congratulations to you for still keeping this nice tradition in the same spirit as our forefathers did, for young America can see and experience a good time from simple things in life.

We are especially indebted to the Houston Chronicle for bringing this writeup to the Texas readers, tomake them aware of the Czechs and their traditions and cultures brought to America and to Texas by our Czech ancestors.
