Strana e bratra, Petra Paula Janika v Crosby, Texas.

Vateni spolubratri, 'aerie spolusestry, nage lidumilne Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texas, vgichni pratele, a mila rodino. Smutna udalost svedla nas Idnes na tomto mists posledniho odpoeinku, abychom se navtdy rozloueili s nagim zesnulkm bratrem Petrem Paulem Janikem, kterk se prirodnimu zakonu podrobil, a navtdy nas opustil.

Mila talem zklieena rodino, lituji yellce, ze nemam hojiveho bolzamu, na vase talem zklieene srdce, av gak, netruchlite nad ztratou va gi mile a nenahraditelne bytosti, a piejte mu ten zasleutenST odpoeinek,po tii asm desati lets pozemske pouti. My vime v gichni, ze to je nejsmutnej gi chvile v nagem lidskem tivote, kdy se musime navtdy rozloueiti s tim kdo nas miloval, a mi jsme jej meli avgak prirodnimu zakonu se vyhnouti nelze.

Neb nekoneenk jest sveta kruh, toei se vtdy vrele nesmrtelnY jest Tvi duck ye smrtelnYm tele. Co lid smrti jmenuje neni vgemu konec umirdeek jest jenom divadeli zvonec on tu jenom znamena kde jsou aktu mete, kdy se zvedne opona kdy ze dolu sveze. Po aktu se vtcly herci naspech jen prestroji a tak ze lidskeho tivota kolobech nikdy nestoji.

Ano jedno pokoleni odejde a druhe zaujme jeho misto, a tak jest cela mati nage zeme jednou velikou kolebkou a take jednYin velikkm hrbitovem. Smrt nein tak hroznou jak si ji mnohY z nas predstavuje. Smrt' jest v mnoha pripadech velikYm dobrodinim lidstva.

Povatme jen, kdy do nektere rodiny zavita vlekla nevyleoitelna neb nevyhojitelna nemoc, kterou ani lekarska veda zdolati nemilte, tam smrt ponnite. Ona zbavi nemocneho utrpeni, a• pozustalou rodinu sprosti velikkch nesnazi, ktere men z o getrovanim nemocneho.

ZesnulY spolubratr, byl dobrkm mantelem, starostlivYm otcem, vlidnkm dedeekem a pradedeekem on byl take dobrYm elenem na ge lidumilne Jednoty, neb vtdy spolkove povinnosti svedomite a presne vykonaval. Poslednich nekolik let byl tadovSirn piedsedou IT kadu 136 at dne 21, listopadu predsednicka ka mu navtdy z ruky vypadla. Poctive 2i1 a bez bolesti tie zemkel. Veeer lehnul a rano jit vice nevstanul. On byl take dobrm sousedem, neb nikdo v sousedstvi tadne. ruznice nevyvolaval a k nepfatelstvi pkieiny nezavdaval.

Kdyby takovYch lidi vie na, sveze bylo verim ze by se nam lepe silo. A Vglehni pravnici a soudcove by melt cel3i rok pra2dniny. Motna ale, ze nekdo namitne, ze zesnulY nekradel takovou tivotni cestu jakou on kraei. K tomu uvadim malY priklad.

Created By Two

Famous Men Santa Claus, as we know him today — jolly smile, round, red cheeks and chunky figure — is the creation of two famous men.

The first was Clement Clark Moore, author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas," better knowno to us as "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Moore actually described Santa and gave him the famous reindeer and sleigh.

The second man, who put the actual likeness of Santa on paper to illustrate Moore's poem, was Thomas Nast, a great cartoonist.

Nast drew the familiar, fat, merry old fellow with red cheeks and white beard, dressed in red, wearing a cap and boots, carrying a pack of toys and smoking a short pipe.

The artist then gave Santa a spyglass so that during the year he might pick out the good children from the bad, and also a big book in which to write their names and keep records.

This conception of Santa Claus first appeared in 1863. Since that time the pictured Santa has been the same, although the spy-glass and pipe seem to have been dropped by the way.

This Is Christmas Beauty

Santa Visits Lodge 66 Waco

(An editorial from the Temple Junior College newspaper)

By Norma Popelka Christmas is a thousand things — a thousand things to be done. Each little "duty" must be performed with minute_ care and attention. And if this is not done, then "Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas."

Saturday night, December 16, "Santa" paid his annual visit to Linden Hall Lodge No. 66 at Elm Mott, Texas, to again distribute gifts to the youngsters of this lodge who awaited him with open arms.

The Youth. Program which preceded Santa's arrival was well received. The Teen-Agers of this Lodge forming a live Christmas Tree sang many beautiful Christmas Carols, which the tiny tots performed in the Nativity Tableau.

Let's start with the seasonal tree. It must be something very tremendous, colossal, and elaborate. Mingle the reds, greens, yellows, oranges, purples, and blues. Wind it round and round with shimmering tinsel. Plug the electric cord into the nearest outlet and let it burst fourth in splendor.

Don't forget the Christmas shopping!

Junior must have the latest model motor scooter with all the decorative accessories. Auntie must have a reproduction of the most recent painting. Grandma needs a new sterling, teapot for her tarnished collection. The family budget will be strained for months to came to accommodate these generosities.

Certainly the traditions of Christmas — decorating trees, sending greeting cards, baking all sorts of "goodies," and shopping for gifts — lend beauty and joy to the season, but like so many things, they can be carried to extremes. Often too much emphasis is placed upon the "fussy hustle and bustle" of these activities. The things that really count are forgotten.

Consider the simplicity and tranquility of the nativity scene. Three poor shepherds knelt quietly with newborn sheep in arm while hosts of angels filled the silerA, holy night with song. Lowly cattle and horses stirred gently nearby.

A woden manger filled with hay and spread with coarse swaddling cloth held a newborn king.

Brotherhood Have faith in ourself each morning, Start out to reach a goal, Be friendly in your actions, Be understood in your soul.

Reach out for new ideals, Conquer each fear with good, You're not alone in life If you are living brotherhood!

Elk Lodge No. 35 Welcome Santa Sunday, December 17, the Elk Lodge No. 35, of Elk, Texas, held their annual Christmas Party for the membership and guests.

The Youth. Club's Christmas Program consisted of the singing of our beloved Christmas Carols which were enjoyed by all who heard them.

After a delicious supper which the good sisters of Elk prepared, the Youth Club gave their renditions of Christmas Carols, the guest speakers, Brother John Krizan of the Cottonwood Lodge No. 6, and Editor Hosek, of West, addressed the gathering before Santa came loping in to distribute stockings of goodies to all good children of the Elk Lodge.

Like all youngsters everywhere, they flocked around him to receive their Christmas Stockings. Some o the wee ones bawled at the sight o Santa and had to be taken away by the parents. All in all it was a merry crowd and when the stockings were opened, the toy whistles in the shape of musical instruments began their serenade until the sound was deafening, much to the delight of the youngsters. This, however, wore off soon and normalcy again reigned. Visiting ensued and dancing followed for those young at heart.

In spite of the downpour the night before, there was a nice attendance at this Annual Christmas Party at Elk, and your Editor was thankful that the weather had cleared to make traveling safe.

After thanking the Elk Lodge members for their invitation to 'be with them on this Annual occasion, wishing them all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed 1962 your Editor took his leave. You are a "grand bunch" of folks at Elk, and it was wonderful being among you again. d et, •

The new 1962 Texas Vehicle Inspection sticker is now available at the 5,000 official inspection stations in compliance with orders issued by the Texas Public Safety Commission. The order states that all vehicles coming under the provisions of the Vehicle Inspection Act must display the new sticker by April 16, 1962.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this sentimentalism could be stretched the year round. But,at least it is much better to get that way sometimes than never.

When we stop to think how little we amout to, how short our stay here on earth really is, no wonder we try to catch up on those things that really count — the things we should practice more at all times, because we do know that it is the duty of every individual to do his share to make this world just a little bit better than it was before. Let us all remember that while it is all right to be rich it is much better to be good. Please accept my greetings with the sincerity it is given.

What is making me happy at this time is the way some of the organizers of our our district sold our insurance in the month of November.

Just thake a look — Brother J. H. Siptak came in with $30,000.00. He is one of the most outstanding organizers of our district, always has been. Congratulations to you brother Siptak. Next is brother Fr. Vytopil, with $4,000.00; Sister Ewell, $2,500.00; brother Roy P. Krenek $1,000.00 and brother Willie Schovajsa $1,000.00. This counts up to $38,500.00 — more than enough to put us over our 1961 quota. Now who was it who said it couldn't be done? It was, and always will be done as long as you brothers and sisters are willing to make it so.

VESTNt K — WEST, TEXAS him and his family. A person who earns $1,200 or less during the year con get all his benefits. This is the same provision as was in effect before 1961. Also, a person can get a social security check for any month of the year in which he neither earns wages of more than $100 nor renders substantial services in self-employment. This is true despite the amount of his total yearly earnings. A person 72 or older can receive all benefits due on his past wages regardless of how much he works and earns.

Further information on how earnings can affect benefits is available at our local social security office. Many working people over 65 will find it to their advantage to file social security applications even though they have earnings from employment or self-employment.

Important Announcement Following a conference and acting on directives received from our Supreme Lodge Officers, Vestnik will no longer publish pictures of brides, wedding anniversaries, graduates or any other picture of members NOT PARTAINING DIRECTLY TO OUR LODGE WORK and INSURANCE SALES, unless such art paid for.

This was brought about due to the constantly rising cost of having cuts made of these photographs and returning original photographs to the members.

It was further decided that all matter mailed to our 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.

Photograph 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 whenever 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.

Are you 65 or older and still working?

If so, have you visited your social security district office? It is possible that you and your family may be eligible to receive some social security benefits even though you continue to work after you are 65.

Because of recent changes in the social security law, there are approximately 1 million persons 65 or older who would be able to collect some payments despite their earnings. In order to receive any benefits, however, these people must first file claims at the social security office, Before 1961, a person eligible for social security benefits could not receive any benefits if his total earnings for the year amounted to more than $2,080 and if during the year he either earned over $100 a mcnth wages or rendered substantial services in self-employment in each month.

He is a very able writer.

We held our December meeting last Sunday evening. First we had a covered dish meal and you should have seen all the food. It did not last long though.

Everybody was ready to eat and they did. It was delicious.

After the meal was finished, Brother Leshikar called the meeting to order.

The business was taken care of and we had the installation of the officers for 1962.

Brother Reuben Leshikar, the outgoing President, performed the installation.

The new officers are: Ben V. Mikolaj, President Herbert Riethmayer, Vice-President A. L. Boudny, Secretary-Reporter W. H. Glover, Financial Secty.

Frank Hejl, Treasurer Edwin Kovar, Member Property Corn.

Frank Drozda, Member Property Com. After the installation, Brother Leshikar• turned the gavel over to Brother Mikolaj, who called a break for the youth program. They entertained us with a very beautiful program. The youngsters were just great. We all enjoyed it so much.

Vera Ann Mikulencak closed the program with a "Merry Christmas."

At that time Santa arrived to give out the sack of "Goodies," During the intermission, Brother Mikolaj thanked the members for giving him the privilege of serving them as their President. He thanked Brother Reuben Leshikar for the great work he did during the eight years he was President.

Brother Mikolaj then called on Brother Edwin Kovar, the treasurer of the property committee, who presented Brother Leshikar with a gift in appreciation of his services. Brother Leshikar then thanked the members and said he will continue to do all he can for the lodge.

We know that he will, because he has always been a hard worker.

After this the youngsters put on the second half of their program. There were speeches and songs, and a very beautifully acted out Nativity Scene. The program ended with a really beautiful Living and Singing Christmas tree. It was a beautifully carried out program that was enjoyed to the fullest.

Then as the curtain dropped on the, last scene, there was heard the ringing of bells and here came Santa Claus!

He and all the young ones, and some of us not so young ones, all gathered around the very pretty Christmas tree.

So, I come to the end. I want to thank all of you for the nice comments on my reports, even though they were not really as good as the should have been.

Wednesday, December 20, 1961.

To make fresh prune dumplings (plums and cherries may be substituted) Sister Prochaska first prepares and sets aside a cup of croutons (three slices of buttered bread, toasted in the oven). Then she dissolves one-half yeast cake in two tablespoons luke warm water to which one teaspoon sugar has been added. She adds one cup warm milk, one teaspoon salt and one beaten egg; then, three cups of flower, all at once and stirs. Add the croutons and mix thoroughly. Set in warm place to rise until double in Size (about one hour).

Using a spoon to make balls the size of golf balls, she flattens them out to about three inch diameters to place a pitted and fresh prune in the center and wrap the dough completely around it.

Drop the dumpling in boiling water and boil, covered, eight to ten minutes.

Don't remove lid until ready to remove from fire or dumplings will shrink and become tough.

Remove the dumpling from the water with a pierced spoon and place on dishes for individual serving. Pour melted butter over each serving and sprinkle with sugar cinnamon. (Grated home-made cottage cheese which is good and dry, may be used in conjunction with the butter and sugar mixture).

Besides using fresh plums or cherries instead of the prunes, says sister Prochaska, the dumplings may be used, unfilled, with chicken and other dishes. A Czech favorite is dumplings, roast pork and sauerkraut."

The Fort Worth area received a fine Czech recipe from sister Prochaska and we hope that lots of homemakers saw it and saved it for future use. This is a good dish for those meatless days, which the whole family will love.

So, until next time, stay well, happy — I know all of you are busy. Do let's have a report on your Christmas Parties in your Lodge. Let's see just how many Lodges had them. It sort of puts a finishing touch on the 1961 activities in our Lodges — a gala goodbye 1961, and a hello 1962. May that 1962, too, be a blessed one for each and everyone of you.

Fraternally, The Editor. Wife ° 4•( WEST SPJST LODGE NO. 54 Dear Sisters and Brothers: We had our Christmas Party last Sunday night, Dec. 10th even though the weather was very bad, cold and rainy, I am very happy to say it was a successful party, we had a very large crowd and it was a pleasure to see the Hall full of familiar faces, some who come regularly

VESTN/ —• WEST, TEXAS to the meetings and some who come off and on.

The Program started with Brother Cervenka welcoming everyone. Then he introduced our Youth leader sister Frankie Mikeska who was in charge of the program. The nice large Christmas tree with all the colorful lights was set on the stage this gave everyone the real Christmas Spirit.

The whole program was done by members of the Youth Club. The opening number was "We wish you a Merry Christmas" this was sung by all the Youths.

Next was a poem "The Loom of Christmas" by Dolores Cepak.

Next was a skit, this was centered in front of a Dime Store where Christmas toys are claimed important for Christmas. The skit was "Who is important at Christmas" this was done by the following youths.

Rose Marie Marek as Narrator; Sharlene Volcik as Mary; Daniel Foitek as Joseph; Jane Mikeska and Linda Kral as Angels; Robert Hubik and Jimmy Nemec as Shepherds.

The Christmas Tree by Joanie Barton and Judy Barton.

Representing the Christmas Tree was Rickey Adams When the Bells Ring Out, by Debbie Hanzlicek.

Representing the Bell, by Carolyn Cepak Jingle Bells, sung by Carolers Representing Christmas Card, by Linda Adams For Christmas Is, by Shirley Nemec and Darlene Nemec.

Representing Gifts, by James Kaluza I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas, sung

by Carolers Representing Christmas Wreath, by Kathy Marek Santa Claus, by Raymond Barton Representoing Santa Claus was Billy Kral.

Upon the housetop, sung by Carolers While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks, Jane Mikeska and Linda Kral The Christmas Story, by Janice Hanzlicek The Friendly Beast Sang, by Rose Marie Marek Bethlehem Lullaby, by Joyce Mikeska Silent Night, Holy Night sung by Carolers and finally, Joy to the World, sung by the Carolers.

This concluded the program. Then came the serving of turkey supper which the ladies prepared with all the trimmings, and with various pastries and hot coffee, the waiting line was long but food was plentiful and surely no one went away hungry. After supper every-

Strana 19 body sat around waiting for Santa Claus.

In the meantime Brother Hosek was called on to say a few words, he complimented the Youth Club, their leaders and their activities, saying these children are our future and the parents should take interest in their Youth, bring them to the meetings as these children can not come alone nor can they walk a long distance, the adults should work along with them and with their Youth leaders.

Finally a whistle was heard, children shrieked with joy when they saw Santa had arrived, he distributed fruit bags and gifts to all the little ones which delighted every child. The adults too enjoyed exchanging gifts. This concluded the Christmas Party there after many of the people mingled among themselves wishing each other a Merry Christmas.

Herewith I want to again wish all of our Vestnik readers, our Editor, Brother L. O. Hosek and his wife Anna Hosek, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Your Reporter Elaine Pavelka ) • 4, YOUTH CLUB, LODGE WACO, TEXAS Dear Youth Club Members of Lodge 66, This is just a reminder that Election of Officers for 1962 is in the very near future. We will have our election on the third Sunday in January. With the holiday activities coming up, I thought I Would take this time to remind everyone to mark their calendars with this important date. Also to keep in mind who you would like to elect and ask yourself a few questions before doing this. If the person you elest attends your youth club meetings regularly or just once in awhile? Does this person participate in activities, that have taken long hard hours on your youth leader's part to make a success? Last, but very important, would the person you elect be proud to represent your Youth Club and Lodge at local and district meetings? These are a few things, I thought each member could be thinking of before Election Day.

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS Make your plans to attend this very important meeting and elect the officers you will be proud to have represent you for 1962.

Fratrnally yours, Jean Spence Secty, Youth Club, Lodge 66 Waco, Texas • YOUTH CLUB OF LODGE NO. 66 WACO Dear Readers, It has been some time since I have written a letter to the Vestnik, but I have tried to help mother as much as I could since daddy was hurt in September.

I am so proud to report that he is getting a little better each day but it will be some time yet before he will be able to use his foot as he did before his accident. I would like to thank everyone who thought of him during his stay in the hospital and since he has been home.

Thanks also to everyone who sent the many Get Well cards he received, he enjoyed each and everyone.

This year is slipping by very fast and it hardly seems that the end is almost here. Christmas is just around the corner and the holiday activities have begun. We at Linden Hall have been practicing for our Christmas program. Our hall is gaylie decorated for the season and our plans have been made to enjoy the season. On Dec. 9 the Youth Club sponsored a dance at Linden Hall. December 16th will be a date to look forward to, our annual Christmas party being on this date. The eleven year olds and up will go caroling on December 22, ending our outing at Linden Hall to be greeted by the younger set. Plans are for them to serve us hot chocolate and cookies. I do hope all the Youth Club members of Lodge No. 66 will keep these dates in mind and try their very best to come out and have fun with us.

I would like to congratulate Mrs. Libby Parma, our Youth Leader for the job she has done in the past year and for being elected our Youth Leader again for 1962.

It is time for me to close for this time and get my homework for tomorrow, because I want to keep up my grades, which I was very proud of this past six weeks.

Fraternally yours, Zephyr Spence Lodge 66, Waco, Texas LODGE NO. 88 HOUSTON, TEXAS Dear Friends, In completing my first year as Youth Director of Lodge No. 88, I would like to say that it has been a pleasant year working with the fine girls and boys of our lodge. I think that we of Lodge No.

Wednesday, December 20, 1961 88 can indeed be very proud of our well-mannered and courteous girls and boys. Others as well as I have noticed how well-behaved the are at the teenage dances or any activity of our lodge; they are truly a credit to you parents.

I would also like to add that it is all you lodge members who have helped to make this year a happy one for me; your kindness, your help and cooperation, and your understanding is something that I treasure highly. It is all you fine people who help to make the SPJST the great fraternal organization it is!

I must not forget our good editor, brother Hosek, who was very cooperative in getting my letters and pictures in the Vestnik. Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you and Sister Hosek!

This year I have started something new, and I hope this will be continued in the future; the Youth Club voted its approval on this. I selected the outstanding Youth member of our lodge — one who participated most in the activities of our Youth Club and our Lodge. I chose Bobby Dobesh, son of Mr. L. A. Dobesh.

Bobby has never said "no" to me; he would take part and help in everything.

He was in the Queen Contest, (he and his queen contestant being runner-up), and he worked hard in the Princess Contest, winning second place with his princess contestant. He participated in the Easter Program, the Mothers and Father's Day Program, and the Christmas Program; he is a natural comedian and has added much to our programs.

He was in the spring District Program and participated in the District Youth Day. Bobby is the President of our Youth Club and has worked hard trying to get the girls and boys together at teen-age dances, a swimming party, and a picnic at the zoo. It was with pleasure that I presented Bobby with a check, for I think he is one of the outstanding Youth workers in the state.

I wish a Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year to all you members and your families!

Sincerely, Tillie Helmcamp, Youth Director Editor's Note: Cut of Brother Dobesh not as yet received from our Fort Worth firm.

We (the youth club! put on a play entitled "Woolworth's". The cast was made up of different Christmas articles and things arguing which was the most important at Christmas time. Then

Wednesday, December 20, 1961 we sang some sangs accompanied by the piano. After the program Mr. Hosek gave a speech. Which we enjoyed very much.

After the program the mother lodge furnished baked turkey with all the trimings. The turkey was very delishous — s• tender and juicy. After supper Santa Claaus made his entry. He sure was jolly, and bells were ringing and Christmas music playing in the background.

He passed out Christmas stockings which included apples, oranges, nuts and candies. Then the adults exchanged gifts.

After that we exchanged gifts between ourselves which were placed under the Christmas tree, which was very beautiful. The party was a great success and we had a very large attendance.

I want to thank the Christmas Committee for the enjoyable evening and also be assured that all of us will be looking forward to Christrila.s in 1962.

Yours truly, Dolores Cepak Reporter ( NOTICE TO LODGE NO. 84 CZECH CHORAL GROUP

Our last practice attendance dropped a great deal, but that was understood by all. There was much sickness and the weather was terrible. All that attended had a wonderful time. I believe the Christmas Spirit is finally catching everyone. I don't know who enjoyed Jingle Bells more — the Choral Group or the children!

We hope to see more and more people joining our choral group in the coming New Year. I know you will enjoy yourselves as much as we have in the past year.

I want to take this opportunity to wish all of the Choral group a very Merry Christmas and a safe Happy New Year.

PHYSICAL DECLINE

President Kennedy again calls the ,attention of this country to our physical decline, as evident also in our draft.

Nothing else can be expected from our soft living than also soft people.

With us, only a few play in our games, while the others "exercise" merely by looking and yelling. This is true of all our sports. Can this produce physically better people?

There is no substitute for what the nations in Europe are doing. A real physical culture must become also a part of our national life. Our school gymnasium must also have their gymnasts training in real gymnastics — on the horizontal bar, parallel bars and other strenuous athletics. This will also not be without its effect on the teenage , life.

Sisters and Brothers: As we approach the holidays, too many of us are engulfed in the rush and bustle forgetting that this is the season of peace on earth to men of good will, the time when we remember how love came down to earth.

Members of the Seventh District have special cause to enjoy the good work our organizers are doing this year, for we not only have reached our quota, but we are already over it.

More precious than china or glass, too fragile to withstand daily despair, are the lives and hopes of people facing heartbreak across the world. These, too, are protested in packages — CARE packages bringing food and tools to nourish the hungry, give them the vigor and means to help themselves.

Every dollar package you send means that hungry people will eat their fill — knowing that people far away in the United States responded to their needs, as friends.

Sports Coleman Lake Gets New Fish After Kill Off Austin — Lake Scarborough in Coleman County, has been stocked with channel catfish by the Game and Fish Commission, and additional stocking of catfish and largemouth bass will be made next year from the state fish hatcheries. This has been announced by Marion Toole, inland fisheries coordinator.

The Commission biologists conducted a rough fish eradication program at the lake in November. The primary purpose of the chemical treatment was to reduce the number of gizzard shad and freshwater drum in the lake without seriously affecting the game fish.

Follow-up setting surveys then were made which indicated both the shad and drum treatment was successful. According to the biologists the rough fish population appeared to have been reduced approximately 90 per cent.

Thousands of shad and numerous drum were seen floating on the water after the kill. The goal of such treatment is to improve fishing by reducing competition and increasing living space for desirable species.

Similar programs have been carried out successfully on numerous other lakes where a complete kill was not deemed necessary.

Texas to Receive Aid in Wildlife Restoration Austin — Texas will receive a maximum apportionment for federal aid in the fish and wildlife restoration program for 1962, according to H. D. Dodgen, executive secretary of the Game and Fish Commission.

Figures on the apportionment just released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service show that Texas will receive $288,500 for fisheries work and $698,500 for wildlife restoration work. This is the Texas portion of federal aid funds from the excise taxes on guns and ammunition and fishing tackle.

Alaska is the only other state receiv-

Wednesday, December 20, 1961 ing maximum apportionments in both fish and wildlife work. California and Minnesota receive the maximum for fisheries.

This represents the distribution of an additional $6,950,000 for fish and wildlife projects through June 30, 1962, according to Stewart L. Udall, Secretary of the Interior. This brings the total to $19,806,000 to be apportioned since $12,850,000 was allotted on a preliminary basis last July 1, for state fish and wildlife prajects.

The money is apportioned under a formula prescribed by Federal laws which gives to Texas a maximum apportionment.

Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands each receive $10,000 for each of the fish and wildlife programs.

• Duck Population Shows Decrease Austin — Duck population along the Texas coast showed a definite decrease this- year over 1960, in a waterfowl inventory taken by biologists of the Game and Fish Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The inventory along the coast, made Nov. 18-22 inclusive, showed an estimated waterfowl population of 910,889 as compared with 1,463,500 for the same time last year.

The biologists estimated the duck population at 695,514 this year with 859,600 in 1960; the foose population at 188,794 as compared with 437,600 last year, while the coot population estimated was 26,491 as compared with 166,300.

Because of bad weather, considerable area in the Corpus Christi - Lavaca segment had to be omitted.

The survey was made by Charles Stutzenbaker, Game and Fish Commission biologist, with E. B. Chamberlain of the Department of the Interior, flying a Gruman Goose, as pilot observer. All the important waterfowl habitat was covered between the Sabine river and the Rio Grande, with small exceptions, according to the report.

Last year the heaviest waterfowl concentration was in the area between the Sabine and Galveston Bay, This year, the heaviest concentration was in the area between the Sabine and Galveston Bay. This year, the heaviest concentration was in the area between Corpus Christi Bay and the Rio Grande.

The heaviest decrease in species percentage-wise was of the Northern Mallards, where there was a drop of 25,000 birds. The pintail population held steady, as did the Canada Goose. Snows and blues, however, showed a heavy decrease.

Peters )• • A TASTE TREAT IF DEER IS PROPERLY HANDLED College Station — People often say that deer are fine for hunting but no good for eating. Ed Cooper, extension wildlife specialist, disagrees with the "no good for eating" part. He says a deer properly dressed and dared for makes wonderful eating.

The first step to a delicious venison meal is to dress the deer immediately after it is killed. If the animal does not bleed thoroughly as a result of the bullet wound, the large veins in the throat should be cut near the base of the neck.

After this is done, remove the entrails and other body organs immediately, says Cooper.

If the deer is not to be placed in cold storage immediately it shOuld be hung in a cool, dry place. The body cavity can be wiped clean with a dry cloth, and should be propped open so cool air can lower the body temperature rapidly. The most important thing here is to protect the carcass from flies, dirt and other sources of contamination.

Cooper points out that it is also im portant to protect deer from heat and exhaust fumes when hauling it to cold storage.

After the carcass has been placed in cold storage, it should be kept there, at a temperature just above freezing, for at least a week. This aging process will insure greater tenderness and quality.

Let a butcher or locker plant employee butcher, wrap and freeze your deer. This will insure better cuts, proper wrapping and quick freezing. While the deer is being processed the less desirable cuts can be made into sausage, hamburger or chili meats.

If venison is marinated before it is cooked the flavor will be greatly improved, says Cooper. There are many recipes available for marination, but a simple One is to soak the meat for at least an hour before cooking in a shallow pan containing 50 per cent vinegar and 50 per cent water.

Handle your deer properly, cook it properly and you will have a taste treat in store for you and your family.

Wednesday, December 20, 1961 SAFETY EFFORTS URGED TO CUT ACCIDENT TOLL Accidents kill more American children and young adults than all diseases combined, and one of the most important reasons are the misconceptions about safety held by many young people.

The Health Insurance Institute said recently that although the development of more and more safety devices has helped to reduce the number of accidents, more work needs to be done to improve individual knowledge, attitudes and habits concerning safety.

The Institute said the need for improved safety teaching for youngsters was indicated in a survey of some 5,000 school children published by the American Association for Health, Physicial Education and Recreation. The survey showed the prevalence of health and safety misconceptions held by the chil-. dren which included: —Many thought that a bullet cannot go off unless it is fired by a gun; oil, grease and gas fires should be doused with water; if clothing catches fire, a person should always run for water; and bicycle riders do not have to obey traffic lights.

—About 75 per cent of the children thought the only good way to help a drowning person is to jump into the water to save him.

—Some 26 per cent of tenth graders thought it was all right to point a gun at someone if you are sure it is not loaded. e sik o The oceans have numberless creatures so tiny that a cubic inch of sea water may, and very often does, contain 50 million of them.

The first known modern Christmas card wasn't sent until 1843. Sir Henry Cole, an imaginative and distinguished London museum director, had his artist friend, J. C. Horsley, design 1000 cards for him which bore the now standard greeting: "A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."

Christmas is a beautiful sentiment. It is a beautiful faith. It is the trusting., the strong faith of a child. It is the neverfailing belief of humanity in the truly miraculous. But it is even more. It is a force against which the most powerful evils cannot stand for long, nor the most wicked of men can overpower.
