BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE' STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

Address all matters to the Editor: P. O. Box 85, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3879 With Undeliverable Co p ies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 400, TEMPLE,

FROM 1961 Peak Year for a' amity Gal r s in Life Insurance Insured American Iamilies in 1961 increased their average life insurance ownership to $13,700, purchased a record $79,500,000,000 of new life insurance from the legal reserve life insurance companies and boosted their aggregate ownership to $635,000,000,000. This accomplishment of 120,000,000 policyholders was reflected in preliminary figures reported recently by the Institute of Life Insurance.

The year's purchases of new life insurance by American families totaled $79,500,000,000, a 7 per cent increase over the $74,400,000,000 purchased in 1960, and an all-time high. Both ordinary and group life insurance mirchases in 1961 were at record levels with ordinary up 2 per cent from 1960 to $54,000,000,000, and group reaching $18,500,000,000, a 26 per cent increase. Industrial purchases of $7,000,000,000 were slightly above last year's total. An aggregate of some 25,200,000 individual policies and group certificates were issued in 1961 "While reinforcing their basic life insurance ownership through employee group plans, American families by their record purchases of individual insurance again demonstrated their sense of personal responsibility for family security," said the Institute. )

alias Friend Due to numerous requests for additional copies of the Vestnik from our Dallas members, wherein were contained pictures of the Czech Day Festival during the 1961 State Fair of Texas, where the Czech National Costumes were worn by the participating membership, we have decided to run these pictures again and as soon as possible. Please be patient. — Thanks.

ESTNi1K— WEST, TEXAS visited prospects in their homes, to sell the Fraternal Spirit as well as coverage for the family's life. It is they who have to replenish our ranks for those who have passed away, to swell the ranks for future greatness, selling insurance. They are the ones who carry the SPJST story all over Texas, for our, Order does not go for intensive advertiSement media, other than its membership. They are the ones who followed through, in time of death, to offer all and any assistance to the bereaved family, to institute prompt payment of policies, to represent the Order at burials, taking time off from their jobs to do this benvolent act in the name of humanity and brotherhood.

The good year, 1961 is almost over for all of us and we are all eagerly looking forward to the corning year 1962, confidently for even more prosperous times for our brotherhood and its membership, for when our membership fares well, So does our Order.

In this pause between the old and the coming New Year, we reflect back upon the events of our fraternal life, to see When we speak of membership, we what one factor was responsible for all of this growth and progress which we mean the Youth Leaders, and Youth Dihave made and the finger points to one rectors with their wonderful youth, who — the membership itself — which has worked, planned and carried out heavy been energetic, enthusiastic, loyal and assi gnments, to keep the Youth busy and happy to prepare programs of enterconfident — plus hard-working.

In speaking of the membership — we tainment for their lodge's special ocmean the old members, the young adult casions, to drive their cars full of happy members and our wonderful youth who youngsters to the various activities outhave had an admirable share in the suc- side of their Lodge Halls, to the huscess of our Order in the past twelve bands of these sisters who assisted them months through their Youth Club activi- as chaperoning couples on dances, ties. wiener roasts and other excursions When we speak of membership — we where their presence was needed and mean the Kitchen Committees, sisters welcomed. To District Youth Direcyoung and old who arranged and prepar- tors who molded the activities of the ed our refreshment socials, suppers, wed- District's lodges into District Events and ding feasts, and those who donated that into State Events, who held workshops mountain of food and pastries through- with their Supreme Lodge Officer in out the year, as only our .good sisters can charge to improve their techniques, exprepare, for the lodge celebrations and change ideas, to add to their skills and observances which were held in all of knowledge so that the Youth could be presented to the membership and to the Our lodges throughout the state.

When we speak of membership — we public in their fullest and best talents, mean the Reporters, both Czech and to enhance our prestige among ourselves, English writers who wrote up the events the fraternal Order in America and Canof their respective lodges, to put their ada.

When we speak of membership — we lodge and its splendid activities before the fraternal family's eyes; of the Re- mean the Officers of our Supreme Lodge porters in our Youth Clubs who faith- with the legal representatives and direcfully and promptly reported meetings torate, who steer this young giant of and their "doings" just as regularly as ours, who unstintingly visited as many did the adult Reporters, which made for of our special functions, lodge meetings good and informative reading in your and Youth Programs as Sundays permit .veqtnik. on the yearly calendar,for these Sundays When we speak of membership — we were their own time, just as any other mean tbe brothers, who in various ca- worker has the weekend Off. They gave pacities on various Committees and Of- up this free time to be among us, to fices, dutifully followed through on their counsel with us, encourage us, to smooth part to keep the ball rolling; who with the road for unity and harmony — to aid hammer and nail mended, with paint re- wherever and whenever they could to freshed, who with boughs, crepe paper make this year a great one in our hisand twine decorated, who with muscle tory. Their sacrifice of their Sundays lugged, tugged and toted for the lodge away from their families and family activities — were given freely , because and its activities.

When we speak of the membership. we they believe in that which they repremean our Organizers and their District sent — our Order — and which we are all Organizers, who alter working hours, trying to sell to every other member and held seminars to improve their sales- prospective member we meet, the bemanship and knowledge of their product, nevolence, the humanity and the broth-

erhood of man which our SPJST represents. Our thanks goes to them, also to their wonderful wives who so many times accompanied them on these distant jaunts to keep them company and mostly to keep them awake while driving back home late in the night after some of the functions were •ended.

When we speak of membership — we mean the grandmothers, grandfathers, and our loyal following of social members, who though unable to actively participate, as the case may be, come to our meetings, programs, suppers and to all of our "dooings" to lend their moral support, words of wisdom, encouragement and interest, plus fidelity to our Order, to complete the membership circle in a united front. To all, goes our sincerest thanks: God keep you.

To those who have passed on from our ranks to their final reward, we pause to remember them in loving , memory, for the good they left behind, for the smiles, the pat on the back, the encouraging words they gave us; we pledge to try to do as well as they did for the Order they loved and help grow into this big and successful fraternal society. We lay a wreath of fond memories to their names and wish them Peace. They've left us a beautiful heritage.

So you see, as has been said so many times, NO ONE PERSON COULD DO IT ALONE, but together as a unit, we can, and somewhere, sisters and brothers, in this wonderful fraternal family is a niche with your name on it. We are thankful for the harmony, cooperation and goodwill and the true fraternal love which you have given to us in this year, and we are looking forward to an even greater coming year, where we can again work with you, laugh with you and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

New Booklet Explains U. S. Plicies Some 500,000 servicemen, government employees and other Americans working or traveling overseas are receiving a new publication in question and answer form — AMERICANS ABROAD; Questions You'll Be Asked About Your Country — which explains U. S. policies and attitudes. Published by American Council for Nationalities Service, with the cooperaL ton of "The Reader's Digest," the 32page booklet answers many of the key questions most often asked in other countries, and is valuable both for Americans at home and those who travel abroad.

AMERICANS ABROAD covers such vital areas as peace and disarmament, the Cold War, and economic and military aid. It also prepares the readers for hostile questions about American life, such as our race problems, widespread unemployment, crime and violence, and alleged "materialism." In a foreword, President Kennedy says that every American who travels abroad is "a spokes man for his country" and that the booklet can help in explaining our policies and attitudes.

Among the difficult questions included in the booklet — which are phrased as non-Americans actually ask them — are: "If the U. S. doesn't intend to make war, why do you maintain a ring of bases around the Soviet Union?" Is the U.S. willing to risk a war over Berlin?"

"Why are you Americans against Castro?" Isn't he good for the Cuban people?" Isn't U. S. foreign aid given only to prevent the growth of Communist influence?" "How can your allies be expected to resist aggression if their defense by the U. S. would mean widespread destruction?" "lf Americans believe in democracy, how do you explain racial discrimination in the United States?"

Copies of AMERICANS ABROAD may be obtained from the American Council for Nationalities Service, 20 West 40th Street, New York 18, N.Y. at 25 cents per copy, 20 cents per copy for five or more.

Publication of the booklet is one of the Council's activities to promote wider understanding of the United States at home and aborad, and to assist the immigrant in becoming a fully participating American citizen. )

Card of Thanks I acknowledge with sincere thanks and appreciation the honor given me on the occasion of the presentation of a Cash Payment on my life Insurance policy by the SPJST Supreme Lodge, to me, Martin Hajdik, on attaining my 96th Birthday.

Aay the New Year bring the promise of peace to fulfill. meat for all the world.

Life P lieyholdere De.tth Ratn 6®0 Per 1,000 The death rate among policyholders of ordinary life insurance is estimated at 6.0 per 1,000 persons, a rate that has remained the same for the past four years but slightly lower than the 6.1 average rate recorded for the 1950's, according to the ,Institute of Life Insurance.

In reporting the death rate experience among policyholders, the Institute noted that this year's rate reflects a long range general improvement in the death rate, with further improvements taking place gradually over a period of many years.

"A review of the causes of death through the years reveals that as one cause declines another mortality factor becomes prominent," said the Institute.

"At the turn of the 20th Century, respiratory infection was the leading cause of death. Infant mortality, the communicable diseases of childhood, tuberculosis, diabetes and pregnancy and childbirth mortality materially contributed to a higher death rate. The advances of medical science in reducing the death rate from these causes have spared countless numbers' of younger persons who, as they lived longer became susceptible to the degenerative diseases."

Social Security News 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 niust 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 month wages or rendered substantial services in self-employment in each month.

Beginning with 1961, the amount a person can get in benefits when he works after he files a social security application depends on his yearly earnings and on the amount of benefits Payable to 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 e 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 applica-: tiens 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 are 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.

District Calendar DISTRICT ONE District One will hold its next meeting on the First Sunday in May, "1962 — May 6th — at Kovar, Texas as announced by Brother E. Jakubik of Snook.

District One requests its sister Districts to reserve this date for them and not schedule any other District Meeting on that date. The Lodge No. 38 at KoVar, is located about five miles south of Smithville, Texas.

S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home Taylor, Texas Dear brothers and sisters: Once again, as before, I submit our Financial Report for the year 1961, from our SPJST Rest Home.

This is to show you how we managed with the money and how we managed generally. From this report you will see that we have managed well.

Thanks to all of you who helped, even in the smallest way, for our Rest Home, for without your help, we couldn't have made this showing.

We are also indebted to our Directors for their untiring work for our Home.

Since we have started with the addition to our building, we have held four meetings for which our Directors received no remuneration whatsoever. They deserve our thanks and recognition.

L was hoping that we would be ready with our building before the New Year, but it seems that we are running a little late.

Each one of us can be proud that it was our SPJST who gave the initial capital to get this beautiful Home started.

We receive recognition from many different authorities in the state as having one of the best equipped and managed homes, as well as one of the most beautiful, in our state.

This will speak for us and for our motto:, Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood, as not being on paper only, but as living symbols in our Home.

CAN I BE NATURALIZED WITHOUT A PERIOD OF RESIDENCE IN U.S.?

Question — Two months ago I was married to an American citizen. He is stationed in Europe, in the country of my birth, where he works for the United States Army. My (husband and I have just come to the United States for a short visit. I would like to become an American citizen, but someone has told me that I must first reside in the United States for at least three years. I cannot do this at present as I must go back with my husband to his post abroad. Is there any other way of acquiring American citizenship?

Answer — In your case, yes. The Immigration and Nationality Act permits. aliens married to American citzens to be naturalized without any specified perod of residence in the United States, in cases where the citizen spouse is ernployed abroad by (1) the government of the United States; (2) an American in-, stitution of research recognized as such by the Attorney General; (3) an American firm or corporation engaged in whole or in part in development of foreign trade and commerce of the United States, or a subsidiary thereof; or (4) a public international organization in which tlee United States participates by treaty or statute.

To be naturalized in such cases the alien must appear before any naturalization court in the United States and declare in good faith that one or she intends to take up residence within the United States as soon as the employment abroad of the citizen spouse is t e rminated. All other naturalization requirements must, of course, be met, but e alien does not have to show any period of residence in the United States, such as is ordinarily required. Further, the alien does not need to show three years of marriage, which is required for the naturalization of aliens married to American citizens living in the United States.

Reports From Local Lodges LODGE SWEET HOME NO. 63 To all of our Readers, brother Editor: I'm enclosing a clipping from our local county paper, in which it is stated that our Lodge No. 63 have sold our Lodge Hall. Truly, brothers and sisters, this is a sad and unfortunate bit of information, that this had to happen.

Time and circumstances in the last few years have so changed, that the smaller lodges are continually but steadily going into oblivion. Our young people from our smaller towns and rural areas are all flocking into the big towns and good paying jobs for a better level of living than their local environment can afford them.

The older membership are all mostly on pensions and are not capable of hard work any more, so that any progress is difficult; in some cases impossible. So please publish this sad news in our Vestnik so that our membership which is scttered all over the state will know and those who didn't attend our lodge meetings but once a year will know the outcome of their complacency; that our Lodge Sweet Home No. 63, no longer owns any real estate property.

Our Meeting for the year 1962 will be held in a Hall in which we will have to pay rent. We are truly sorry.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year, with fraternal best wishes, f am Karel J. Havlik .

Strana WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: First, thanks to all of you who contributed to the Cook's Corner this year with your favorite and treasured recipes.

I hope you've tried many of them and have made them a member of your family. For me too it's been fun, for my anatomy it's been murder — the weight losing battle is a waging and constana one.

In the coming year I'm looking forward to your continued contributions to the recipe section, I know many of you have recipes which you've offered Vestnik's cooks but just haven't gotten down to writing them up and mailing ti-:em. So, won't you do it, now that the Christmas and Thanksgiving rush is over? Thanks.

Today I'm giving you a Cheese Cake recipe which is very rich, but as a dessert, should go twice as far for the portions are only half of the usual ones. I know you will like it.

May I wish for you the Happiest of Years, this 1962, with abundant health, wealth, and happiness for you and yours.

Here's wishing you, Happy Cooking, too.

MORE ABOUT ST. NICK AT ELM IVIOTT LODGE NO. 66 Vestnik ran a short snyopsis of the Christmas Party held at the Waco Lodge No. 66 located at Elm Mott, Texas, and held on December 16th for members and guests.

Undoubtedly Lodge No. 66's excellent Reporters, both the Czech and English and the Youth Club Reporters will — of have given you their impressions of the wonderful time there that night.

Again brother Otto Hanus, out did himself in the decorations. They were more beautiful than ever --- and yet so simple to make once you see them hanging. Of course, Brother Harms did not do it all alone — he had a small army of helpers who annually meet to give their beloved Linden Hall a special air of of celebration.

Ti-he huge Christmas Tree was beautiful — so large in fact, that the top had to be cut off. The good folks, Sister and Brother Ed Mazanec, again donated this lovely symbol of love and Christmas Spirit to their beloved Linden Hall and its members and youth.

The Linden Sprouts and Teen-agers (of which the later Linden can really boast) purchased their beloved Linden Mall sonic beautiful folding doors to close off the dining area from the dance floor and other facilities. They took the money from their own fund to give the Mother Lodge trnis needed and beautiful fixture.

Stana 23 Linden's spacious kitchen too, boasted of a new, large and (to us cooks) beautiful stove, for the Kitchen Committee Sister's who buzz ahlout that Kitchen like a hive of honey bees preparing and serving such a rich. board to its members. The refreshment bar, too, is a happy and busy place, Everything is light, spacious and spotlessly clean. It's a pleasure to visit there.

The dining area on this Christmas Party night too, was artistically decorated, and everyone commented upon the good taste of the Committee for the decor.

Place cards for the Supreme Lodge Officers and their wives, guests, the 'Editor, District Three officers and their wives who could make it, guests, and the officers of the Lodge and their ladies, as well as the out-going officers, the Youth Leaders and their husbands, the officers of the Youth Club, all were seated around the outer circle of the table, while the membership sat in the inner circle of tables. There was plenty of space for everyone. Then the red candles were lit, to add a touch of elegance.

After a sumptous meal, all of the officers, guests, wives and youth were introduced to the seated membership. The Youth Club President presented gifts to the out-going president, their youth club leaders, and to the IViother Lodge they officially presented the folding doors hanging on their hinges at the dining room entrance.

Sister Libbie Parma, Linden's ouYth Leader, then invited us all to be seated outside Where comfortable chairs were already arranged for the short prograi;1.

We shall have to leave the names of these participating wee-ones in the beautifully created 'Nativity Scene Tableau, as well as the Teen-Agers who formed the lovely living Christmas 'free, to Linden's Reporters, as they are not all known to us.

With the lights out, single file came the Teen-agers dressed in their white choir robes and carrying a burning red candle, to form tl-ie living Christmas Tree, where they sang the beloved Christmas carols, to the accompaniment of the piano. Really, in the darkened Hall, it was very impressive The climax of the progressive program was the Nativity Tableau with a lovely Teen-ager telling the story of Christmas.

Then, as if on signal, we all started to sing "Jingle Bells," and ho-ho-ho here came a big, handsome Santa Claus -bedlam broke loose among the small fry as they all clustered around him to talk with him and to receive a bag of fruit and candy. After that subsided somewhat, the general exchange of gifts

Strana 24 ensued and visiting among the adult membership.

Shortly thereafter the out-of-town guests started to take their leave, everyone hap py , smiling, and extending heartfelt, thanks for the invitation to be at this happy occasion and a Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year.

The Editor and wife, too, are grateful for the invitation to be among this nice group of people on such an occasion — we had a very, very nice time.

Especially wonderful was the fact that your Teen-Agers, who often danced in your Hail to the juke box in flats, blo somed out this night dressed in beautit dresses and their first spike-heel( shoes upon which they were just learning to balance themselves. They becanu beautiful young adults overnight, and everyone rejoiced at the outcome of you and your Youth Leaders in the year's past efforts with these young people.

Bless you all and congratulations.

When I say never, I mean never.

Why? For one thing, such a slap (or blow) can damage the brain, the eyes, the ears. There is, as somebody once said, "a place that Nature provided for children to be spanked." It is not the head.

Another reason for not striking, a child in the region of the head is that such a blow is frequently the result of temper on the part of an adult — and why do we, er why should we punish a child? Because we are angry? Or because we want to teach a child what he should do or should not do?

If we, as adults, are actuated by sudden irritation or anger, we are not "teaching the child." We are venting our emotions.

Now I grant, as a father, that children can be masters of the art of annoying. Most children have their streaks of being little Mephistophelean monsters Briefly, they try us out, to see how far they can push us before we blow up.

But they are children, acting instinctively. We are adults, reacting — I hope — logically. Sometimes we forget this.

We shouldn't.

Never strike a child in the head, neck, or face. My grandmother's, thimble, rapped sharply on my scalp, stung me. I got the message. But a rap from a thimble (if anybody still uses the thimble either for sewing or bringing up children) is a quite different thing from a "slap" or a blow which can do deep datrage.

In fact, ideally, never strike a child.

Spank, if it is necessary. Don't hit.

Theoretically we should never use physical violence. We ought to employ only "sweet reason." In theory, I 'agree., In practice, I am convinced that at times a brisk but deliberate and adult spanking because we want to train the and is not harmful.

The unspanked child too often becomes a brat. But the important and the hard decision involved is this: Are we spnking because we want to train the child, or are we spanking because we have lost our temper?

If we can answer this qUestion the right way, we will never slap a child in the face or the head.

Fewer Hazardous Jobs, Health Improvements Noted Better health and safety measures, have combined to make eligible more perSons applying for life insurance today, says the Institute of Life Insurance.

At present, only about 3 per cent of applications for ordinary life insurance policies are declined by life companies after analyzing health, occupation', habits and ,family medical history.

Health and habits are the primary cause for declination, as safety factors have removed hazardous occupations to the extent that fewer than one-half of 1 per cent of life insurance applicants are turned down because of the work they do. Experimental test pilots remain the only occupational category totally uninsurable, with other hazardous occupations judged on individual considerations. This does not include the obvious uninsurables such as convicted criminals, racketeers, and those of quastionable moral habits.

Making possible the inclusion of hundreds of thousands of persons on the insurable roles is the expanding extrarisk classification which provides an est mated $22,000,000,000 of life insurance protection or about 6 per cent of the ordinary life insurance in force.

"The extra-risk life insurance classification equitable spreads the cost of life insurance over a group that has shown a greater incidence of fatal accidents by occupation, or whose bodily impairments result in a higher mortality than found in the standard group," says the Institute.

Fast disappearing from the extra-risk category are the hazardous job categories and according to the Institute some under-writers predict that within a few years many more highly risky occupations may be rated standard.

"Moving in to take their place in the extra-risk ranks is a category of hazardous avocations," says the Institute.

"The leisure time pursuits of many Americans have progressed from the adventurous to the dangerous.

"Experience has come to require that participants in sky-diving, kite flying on water skis, go-cart racing, speed boat racing and skin diving, pay extra for their life insurance, even though the persons involved in such rigorous pastimes are usually in excellent health, have good habits and hazard-free occupations."

Medical underwriting is continually

VbSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS being evaluated by the life companies and where possible extra premium rates are reduced with favorable experience.

Today, wany life companies are accepting policy applicants with bodily impairments rated ten timesabove standard. Only a few years ago persons rated more than five times the standard rate were considered uninsurable.

About one-half of all policy aplications requiring a higher rating are due to hypertension, reports the Institute. It is the mapor cause for rated policies among younger persons.

While heart diseases remain the major reason for uninsurability, accounting formore than one-half of medical rejections, the progress being made in heart surgery suggests the possibile availability of life insurance protection to once uninsurable heart surgery patients after they have made sufficient recovery.

Persons successfully treated for cancer, once totally uninsurable, are in some cases accepted for life insurance four years after treatment. In this area experience has shown a greater recovery rate among cancer victims in the past 40 age group than among younger persons. Ten years ago, one out of four cancer patients responded to treatment and that figure has been improved to one out of three.

—.) • A FEATURE FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Austin — Now that school days are routine and winter is starting to push fall aside, there will probably be the usual increase in communicable diseases common to children.

Thousands of unnecessary cases of communicable diseases — and deaths -- could be prevented every year in Texas, if all parents would only realize the danger of the common cold.

Colds, especially a child's cold, should never be neglected.

But how many times have you heard a parent mention that Junior or Susie "have the sniffles" but they "seemed" well enough to go to school.

And what's orore they will continue to go to School as long as they are able to walk, and only when they become seriously ill does the careless parent call the family physician.

But by that time a good many children in Junior or Susie's classroom have become exposed, thus setting up a chain of sickness and time lost from school.

And with the threat of the various types of flu hanging over the State, the common sense protection of keeping a child home when he or she is not feeling up to par makes more sense thanever.

A child who is sent to school feeling

tired, perhaps because of inadequate meals, is handicapped. He not only lacks the aptitude for learning, but he is running the chance of falling prey to disease germs.

A youngster who is allowed to go to school suffering from a cold, or the flu, runs the risk of serious complications.

These troubles may develop into pneumonia, or if his resistance is low, signs of tuberculosis may appear.

However, when a slight illness is pronptly and properly cared for, the child is usually well in a day or so.

The teacher can also be alert to notice if a child isn't feeling well. Of course, she is not expected to diagnose disease, nor is it her province to give health xaminations, but she can recognize the common signs of pallor, a cold, and fever.

Forhis own protection and of other children in the classroom, a sick child should not be allowed to stay in school. )•

Health Careers Light from a single window breaks the dark expanse of a building. Inside the room is a research scientist pouring over a pile of notes, trying to piece together bits of evidence which could possibly lead to a significant breakthrougn in the battle against cancer.

Miles away in a small town, a secretary unlocks the door of the local health department and starts filling our requisitions for needed supplies. She is no scientists and the researcher hates the trivialities of order forms.

Yet both of these people have much in common. They are both en aged in a health career.

In the growing competition among industry, the professions, education, government services, welfare and the health services for skilled, competent personnel, a career dedicated to serving fellow man through the health services can be rewarding both career-wise and personally.

Health careers include callings that care for the ill and the injured; and they include callings that help to prevent illness — prevention.

g

chemists and photographers. The list goes on and on.

A health careerist can be his own boss as a private physician or consultant or he can work as a skilled member of a highly organized team in a local or state health department, hospital or health agenby.

However, high standards are demanded regardless of the precise job performed. Many Texas colleges and universities offer courses designed to train students for the various health careers.

The health sciences are just beginning o enter on a new threshhold of achievenent. Atomic medicine is providing better diagnosis and treatment of such ills as cancer and thyroid diseases and epidemiology procedures in public health are solving more and more communicable disease problems.

Are Resolutions Worth the Effort?

Are New Year resolutions worth the effort?

Sure, if they are made in the right spirit.

The trouble with resolutions is that some folks promise to do things --- or not do things — when they know full well they are putting themselves out on a limb. Common-sense resolutions are best. This does not mean we should make "easy" resolutions. A good resolution corrects a fault or curbs a bad habit.

Something must be sacrificed if a resolution is to be worthwhile.

So, make resolutions if you feel inclined. But be practical. garssraz
