KanactsVen na Vojtu Pred deseti lety zemrel senator Vojta Beneg a byl pochovan v Chicagu v sobotu due 24, listopadu 1951.

S Vojtou Bene gem ode gla razovita postava nejen eeskoslovenskeho, ale i celeho krajanskeho sveta. Vojta Bene g patril blame krajantim.

Do Ameriky prijel po prve v roce 1912 a pak od roku 1914 Zil v Chicagu, aZ do konce prvni svetove valky, Potom se do Ameriky dosti east() vracel a byl v ni v dobe druhe svetove valky a brzy po Unoru 1948 pri gel opet aby se u2 nevratil. Z Ameriky easto zajiZdel i do KanadY. V Kanade mel mnoho pratel a rad je vidaval a oni zase Vojtu Bene ge radi meli sebou, racli naslouchali jeho sloyarn, Tadam, pfikazilm a navrhfim.

Po prve zavital na sever v kvetnu 1949 a nasadil tam lipy v Masaryktown a jednu jmenoval lipu . Vojtavu. Je to ona lipa, ktera stoji na pra y() od pomniku.

Letos v jejim stinu postala v zadumani i Dr. Alice Masarykova, ktera piijela z USA do Kanady se svou spoleenici sestrou Vokalkovou.

Naposledy byl Vojta Bends mezi nami v Kanale v roce 1950, kdy jsme odhalovali pomnik na. Masaryktownu a tehdy nikdo netueil, Ze na pfieti Ceskoslovensky den u2 neptijede. V lete 1951 nahle onemocnel. Byl ranen mrtvici. Tehdy ho navStivil z Kanady br. G. Pfistupa s rodinou. Zdalo se, 'le se pkece jen uzdravi, ale podzimem se mu pfitililo a zylaSte, kdy se pfidal jest_e zapal plic. Re krisi doSlo v aterY 20. listopadu, kdy kolem 10. hodiny ranni vydechl naposledy.

Vojtou Beneeem odeela cela epocha 30 let, epocha nad jine vYzna.mna a sla y j an--na,vitsezformval zketra skY Zivot na americkem kontinente a Vojta BeneS byl tYm, kdo dovedl najit jeho zdravi, kdo mu dal nejvice do jeho rozmachu a aspechil.

Vojta Bene'S byl z gardy, kterou vedl sam T. G. Masaryk, z generace neobyeejno zdatne, 'silne, vrcholne aspeSne a spravedlive. Tato generace dovedla uskuteOnit sen vkch Cechia a Slovak-a: samostatny C'eskoslovenskY sta,t. Podil Vojty Bene ge na tomto dile byl ne malt'.

Nikdy nezapomeneme na Vojtu BeneSe, vrouciho vlastence, mule nej yzacnejSiho, prvniho mezi krajany. )•4*(

Posledni city& Boieny Neincove spisovatelky eeske Dne 11. zati 1861 prijela Baena Nemcova do Litomy gle, ktere znala z nedlauhello pobytu roku 1839-40. Ubytovala se U slunce, avgak na Augustovo doporueeni se hired na druhy den piestehovala k Modre Tobolatave, vdove s nekolika detmi. HostinskY pokoj byl chladnY a tmavY, ale Bolene se libilo zatizeni, ktere tarn na la. Pochvalovala si, ze tarn ma divan, stolek, ve gak na gaty, skiiri a take postel. Augusta projevil ochotu apattit pult, aby mohia psat v stole, jak to ritda delala..

V Litomy gli se Holena Nemcova nedoekala jara 1862, ba ani ne vdnoc 1861.

Zaeatek byl slibnY a v nekterYch chvilich opravdu verila, ze ma zle easy za sebou provkly. Augustovi se k ni men pidtelsky. Pozvali ji na obed lined ten den, co se piestehovala k Modre hvezde, a v nedeli byla zase jejich hostem. Bylo posviceni, hostina a kolaeri dost a dost a dobrYch. Kdy'k ptialy na tadu vaZnejgi veci, take nenarazila na nic neptijemneho.

Podle smlouvy dojednane 15. zaii mely sebrane spisy zaeit lined, a to tak, ze k-a2tlYch lest nedel mel vyjit se git o peti argich. Nakladatel si take pfal, aby Nemcova provadela korektury jinYch ktere mel prave v tisku. Za to mela dostavat zvlagtni odrnenu nad to, co bylo ujednano c platech za spisy bud' ptetiskovane nebo'nove napsane.

Zachovalo .se nekolik dopisii z Litomygle dceri Dore nebo piatelum. Jsou podbarvene dtivetivou naladou a driverau, vgecko piljde dobte a hladce. Kdo je ete ve vernYch pretiscich, brzo se zastavi nad chybarni, ktere neptsobil chvat nebo chvilkova nepozarnost. Bolena Nemcova mela upravovat sve spisy, dokoneovat rozepsane kusy, opravovat vYvesni archy, dodane tiskarnou na still U modre hvezdy, av gak byla tak vyeerpand telesne i du gevne, ze nebyla a to sestavit dopise Augusta chtel tisknout aspori Babieku, avgak ani to nemel po ruce v novem zneni, ktere spisovatelka slibovala. Upominal, nalehal a nakonec hrozil. Dne 7. listopadu ji poslal nevlidne psani: "Dela nechci a nebudu eekat, jak si ze nine die libosti biazna Mate; odevzdejte ti g -tenoubaiksz,jtrmpojeni sam a vy bled'te, by ste Litomygli brzo opustila".

Josef Nernec se dovedel o 2eninYch trampotach a jednal razne. Dne 24. listopadu ptijel do Litomy gle, splatil neco z dluhti a odvezl si ji do Prahy. Nevzpirala se, neodmitala jeho prilvod, protole byla nemocna na Mistem posledniho zastaveni byl byt v dome U tki lip a Pilkope. V jednom dle byla administrate Narodnich ye ktere byl Josef Nemec zamestnan.

Zatirn co Zena pracovala. v Litomy gli, smi ill se s Jaroslavem a pkijal ho do bytu.

Nekdy je nav gtivil Karel, kterY se vratil Pruska pracoval v zahrade na Klamovce za. Smichovem. Nemocnou uloZili ye vetgim pokoji, ale kdyZ se ji ptitililo, ptenesli ji pies chodbu do svetnieky, ktera se ji vice libila, protole se tam aspori chvilemi dostalo nem svetla.

Dora sice opatiovala belne veci v domacnosti, ale matka nemohla zilstat bez zkugenei gi obsiuhy. Nekdy bylo potteba zakroku i v noel. Oba lekaki, Josef PodlipskY a Josef Hamernik, vecieli, ze neni nadeje na uzdraveni a hledeli jenom ztigit bolesti. Nkvatev nebylo mnoho. 0hlasila se Marie Palacka, provdana za Frantigka Ladislava. Riegra. °patina nejenom ponize na zaplaceni zbyleho dluhu v Litomy gli, nYbrg i lepgi stravu. Umluvila se s nekolika ptitelkynemi, ze budou nemocne posilat jidlo, ktere by Dora nemela z eeho opatkit. Jeden den v lednu piigla zasilka z Litomy gle: prvni se git Babielty v novem vyddni. Mela z neho malo pote'geni, proto2e tisk i :riprava byly nedbale. Jeden kus piipsala dceti Dote, druhY me pfitelkyni Markyte 8tuliayske, ktera ji v nemoci take nav gtevovala. Posledni dopis psanY na prkenku mezi pekinami, byl ureen matte Terezee, ktera bydlela potad v Zahani a nejstar gi dceru pielila o d ye leta.

Smrtelny zapas nastal v pondeli 20 ledna. Umirala bez prudkYch bolesti, jakoby se propadla do takeho spanku. K ranu pfi gtiho dne vydechla naposled.

Byl leden, zima a • io vYchodu slunce bylo jegte vice neZ hodina.

Pohteb ye stiedu 23. ledna 1862 *odpoledne byl slavny. Lide nedbali mraziveho poeasi a vy gli do ulic, kterYmi se ubiral smuteeni prtivod z Piikopu na Vygehrad.

Bylo uz huste gero, kdyZ hrobaii spustili rakev do hrobu. Ce gi to doby nevedeli, jak se postarat o spisovatelku, ktera jim clala Babieku a jina dila, av gak postarch se 0 posmrtnour poctu.

Asi pet milionft lidi, eili jeden elovek z katdSrch 12 zamestnanSrch, pracuje bud' pro stat nebo mesto, obci a pod. Oeekava se, te statni vlady a mistni spravy vydaji do konce roku 1961 nejakYch 50 miliard dolarU za rrizne potreby a slutby. Z toho asi tri petiny pripadaji na mesta, rnestyse a obce, zbytek na vydani statni.

V povaleenVch letech vzrfista, vyddni techto vlad a spra y asi o tri miliardy dolart katcleho roku. Drivod tohoto vzrfistu motno hledati v nekolika einitench.

Beitelske platy, yydrtovani gkol, Skolni potreby a jine v3nohy se vzdelanim spojene vytadaly si roku 1959 gestnact miliard dolart, eastku to, poskytnutou z velke easti mistni spravou.

Verejna nouzova, pomoc vzrostla z 2.5 miliard roku 1949 na 4.6 miliard roku 1959, eili ze tri procent ve gkereho statniho vydani na 16 procent.

HERALD—

Wednesday, March 7, 1962

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. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Semi Form 3579 With Undeliverable Co pies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE EDITOR'S C 1,E"C, at the end of the year for honors, trophies and prizes, which could lead to Jaromir Youth Club District and then State Championships.

She stressed neatness and diligence in Gets Ready for maintaining the records of hteir ties.

A Full Year With this in view, Editor Hosek will The Youth Club of Lodge 54 in West held its regular meeting Sunday, March 4, and with their Youth Leaders, sisters: Marek, Cepak, and Mikeska, mappel out plans for a busy and happy time for its Youth in the coming months of 1962.

Sister Mikeska read a letter from the Supreme Lodge Vice President Joe B. Hejny in which he suggested that a Lodge Duchess and Queen be chosen as soon as passible as the contest began on March 1st, and will end May 31st.

The youth were also reminded that there will be a youth Activity Day this year with the Handicraft Contests; thf,1t they should be thinking about their entries, The crochet group will start lessons in crochet after Easter, due to these priority activities, and these sessions will be held on Friday after school is out for the week. Sister Hosek instructed those interested to get their equipment bought in the meantime: a No. 9 or No. 10 crochet needle, a Washcloth, and some soft bedspread thread to match the color' of the washcloth. It was suggested that the thread could be divided into several small balls so that too much expense would not be incurred in this initial crocheting group.

Brother Cervenka, Jaromir's President urged that as many as possible attend the District Three Meeting which will be held in Fort Worth, with Lodge No. 92 host to the District.

Sister Mikeska, urged that all Youth Club Members report to the April Meeting so that they can have their pictures taken for the Vestnik, which can then be pasted in their individual "Points System Looks,". which will be distributed soon.

I don't think, if you would have in the Supreme Lodge — even John Kennedy — it takes each and everyone of you to make it a prosperous and progressive one; we could hot have done it alone." Brother Hejny then quoted figures, showing progress made in the field of insurance selling among organizers.

Continuing, brother Hejny stated: "As Brother Marek stated a while ago this being our Sixty-fifth Anniversary, may I say when we met together recently with the District Organizers, and again with our District Youth Directors of the state of Texas, we agreed to make this a membership campaign, since it is the 65th Anniversary; we want to go out and get membership. We know that we have to sell life insurance to stay in existence, we have to have new members; new blood to carry on what you and I are doing today. We have agreed to base this campaign in securing new members and I hcpe that by the end of 1962, we will have 2,000 new members. We can do it but it will take each and everyone of us; not a few of our organizers to do the work. It will take the help of our District Officers, Lodge officers, the Supreme Lodge officers and directors. You would be surprised how much life insurance is being sold through the membership. It is up to the organizer to go in and write it up --`our members help bring in a lot of new insurance and we certainly ap1. their cooperation which without their help we could not do it. It takes all of us. I am glad to report that we do have the cooperation of everyone in Texas; it makes our job so much more pleasant to that when you need help you can call upon anyone in the state; they will extend a helping hand and work with you. One cannot call it a job with such people as we have, helping," Brother Hejny, explained that car stickers ' were available commemorating our 65th Anniversary year, as a media of advertising our Order. "You would be surprised when people see these stickers on your car; if they are not familiar with our SPJST and start asking questions and the first thing you know, it will bring in more members."

"Life Insurance selling is a profession itself," continued Brother Hejny. Just anyone cannot do it. Life insurance is not a package that you can visualize and the feeling — that you don't need it — prevail, however, when you 'DO' need it, 'then it is too late to get it. That is why it is a profession to sell someone some-

Brother Vrla then publicly thanked his wife, Helen, for her untiring help in making the banquet such a success. Sister Ceska proposes a standing ovation of thanks to the host and hostess.

Brother Vrla, addressing his Organizers gave them a "pep talk" on selling insurance which was very constructive and informative.

Brother Urbanovsky then proposed that each District Three Organizer write an application and write ori top "Thank you Helen and Arnold" to show their appreciation.

Brother Vrla, then recognized the faithful helpmates of such, organizers who cannot or could not drive a car; who thus helped such organizer call on prospects. Sister Skrabanek of District Five was recognized for her efforts while Brother Joe was so ill; and our wellknown and beloved Brother Joe Milan, better known as "Chauffeur" who was then presented with a plaque for his services. Emotionally he thanked Brother Vrla for this recognition saying this was the "first" medal he ever received in his life."

Will You Sign Up for the Feed Grain Program?

Eligible producers may sign :up in the 1962 feed grain program now.

Approved base acreages and payment rates have been mailed to all eligible producers. The 1962 payment rates are the same for 1962 as they were in 1961.

For 1962 the program is voluntary just as it was in 1961. However, for a producer to be eligible for price support on his normal production of reed grain he must sign up in the program and divert at least 20 per cent of his feed grain base.

The acreage diverted must be put to some conserving use in 1962; such as a cover of grass or legumes or the diverted "Our economics prof talks to himself. acreage may be left idle and summer (allowed. The acreage diverted may be Does yours?" grazed until May 1, 1962; however, no "Yes, but he doesn't realize it — he grazing is permitted after this date thinks we're listning." through December 31, 1962. ) o o A producer interested in more than one farm must participate or plant within his Feed Grain base on all farms in order to be eligible for price support on any farm. For instance a producer with three farms may divert on two and be eligible for price support on these provided he District 1 does not exceed his feed grain base on V. H. BARINA the other farm.

All the rules concerning the insurance sales contest were mailed to all lodges, and youth leaders, and were published in the Vestnik. Please take this into con. sideration and let's try to make this a tremendous success.

If our SPJST is to continue its noble Fraternal work in the .future, we must continue to have qualified and able lodge officers, organizers and youth leaders.

Sports Column from Texas Game and Fish Commission Wild Young Should Be Left Alone ..

Austin -- A warning against picking up young wildlife has been made by J. B. Phillips, coordinator of law enforcement for the Game and Fish Commission.

This is the time of the year when young of the wild has a tendency at times to stray from the mother, and persons are inclined to want to make pets of them. This is particularly true of young deer.

Persons who capture and attempt to confine wild animals as pets are subsect to arrest for violation. In addition, many of these young animals turn out to be not such good pets, and many times they revert to nature and injure their benefactors.

An additional risk in picking up these youngsters is the rabies threat, which has been spreading, particularly among skunks. Skunks should be avoided for this, among other reasons, and domestic pets should be kept away from them at all times.

He also advises dog owners to keep them in control, so that babes of the wild will not be destroyed by roving dogs.

• • Texas lakes have been producing some lunker bass during the past ten days, according to information received by the Game and Fish Commission.

Largest bass recorded was one weighing 11 lbs. 1 oz., taken by W. T. Cooke of Amarillo, fishing with an artificial worm in Lake Childress, on February 18. The bass was not weighed until several hours after it had been caught, indicating that it was actually a good sibed bass. Lake Childress, also known as Baylor Lake, is northwest of the city of Childress, and is a comparatively small lake.

On Lake Granite Shoals, Jackie Hewlett of Austin caught a 9 lb., 10 oz. black last Sunday. It was taken on a Pico jig.

Other big bass reported during the past week were a 9 pounder, taken by Loren

Some terrific catches were reported in Lake Falcon, both on blacks and whites. They are beginning to hit on top water plugs in that area now.

Fishing also has been especially good in East Texas, particularly on crappie and large drum, )• •(!

PLAIN TALK Sometimes it does appear as if there were no justice in the world. But though one may be frustrated, hurt, aggrieved, feel that the reward of effort isn't worth the pains, life has a way of making compensations in the most unexpected ways.

Also, it has its own way of dealing with unnecessary step. Time brings its own the unjust. Being vindicative is such an punishment where it is due.

It's an old formula, this, of looking around at the rest of the world when you are down, to find out how lucky you are, after all. Life doesn't flow along like the much advertised song for enyone.

The lesson we all must learn in time is that disappointments, disillusions are met in every life, and that we must not go down Under the blow. There is enough beauty around us still to rebuild supporting theories and visions, if we will only reach out and help ourselves to them.

Let the years build up a philosophy so that trials may be met calmly and bravely.

Plan your every deed with the thought of giving as much joy to others as you can. "Ills only a small contribution, but big are the results . . . You are doing a wonderful job everytime you contribute to another's enjoyment and happiness.

The clock of life is wound but once, And no one has the power To tell just when the hands will stop.

At late or early hour.

Now is the only time you own; Live, love, toil with a will; Place no faith in tomorrow, for The clock may then be still.

$35 Million Paid }%v Life Companies Each Day Nearly $35,000,000 is being paid out in life insurance benefits in the U. S. on each working day by the life insurance companies, estimates the Institute of Life Insurance.

"If the necessary information is supplied by policyholders and beneficiaries, they can expect to have their application for benefits processed, and a check for the benefit amount on its way, all withi n a working day," says the Institute.

"Advanced automated procedures are assisting company personnel maintain this pace as the life companies' papmerits of benefits accelerate in number and amount — the result of the record amount of life insurance purchased in recent years."

Total life insurance and annuity benefits paid during 1961 amounted to $8,811,000,000, a new annual high and 9 per cent above the payments made the previous year. The 1961 total paid was more than double the amount recorded nine years before.

The living benefits of life insurance continued to run larger than death payments, accounting for $5,229,600,000 or 59 per cent of all payments. This was an increase of $457,200,00 or 10 per cent over the previous year's payments.

These living benefit payments included $714,900,000 paid under matured endowments, up 6 per cent in the year; $132,700,000 in disability payments, a gain of 7 per cent; $769,900,000 in annuity payments, a gain of 7 per cent; $1,793,100,000 paid in cash values, up 12 per cent in the year; and $1,819,000,000 in policy dividends, a gain of 12 per cent.

Death payments made in 1961 to life insurance beneficiaries amounted to $3,581,400,000 or 41 per cent of the benefit payments- for the year. While the death rate among ordinary policyholders has remained relatively unchanged for the past several years and is slightly below the average computed for the 1950's, death payments have been rising primarily due to the higher amounts of life insurance owned and the advancing age of policies in force, according to the the Institute.

Ordinary life insurance policies accounted for $2,000,700,000 or 56 per cent of the death payments in 1961; group life insurance death payments were $1,246,100,000 or over one-third of the total; industrial policies accounted for ($334,500,000 or 9 per cent of 1961 death /payments.

INCOME SUBJECT TO TAX Reporting your correct gross income is the first and most important item of business in preparing your federal income tax return.

As a general rule, gross income can be defined as the sum total of amounts received by you for your services, amounts which you receive from others for the use of your property or money and the profit which you realize from the sale of your, property.

While your gross income will normally result from cash received in the form of wages or pay for your services, this need not be the case. Money, therefore, is not the sole medium of exchange used to determine the recei pt by you of gross income.- The fair value of property or services you receive in return for your services and the use of your money or Property must also be taken into consideration in determining your gross income. Thus, if your employer provides you with a house in which, to live or provides you with food, you must include in your gross income the fair value of these items.

A person who receives a prize or contest award or who gambles and kins must include in his gross income the cash received and the fair value of items or services received.

There are some items which would logically fall within the general rule which are specifically excluded from gross income by law. For example, if your employer requires that you be present on a 24-hour basis and provides you with a room or house on his premises, this amount does not constitute gross income. Similarly, if your employer gives you meals and requires that you eat on the premises, this amount would not constitute gross income to you.

Other exclusions are premiums paid by your employer for group term life insurance, group health insurance premiums, the cost of transferring you and your family to a new location or office at the direction or request of your employer and other similar items which are paid to benefit both you and your employer.

'New Look' in State's Insurance Supervision.

Austin — Quietly and with little fanfare, a "new look" has developed in the state's supervision of insurance companies.

After the insurance scandals of the late 1950's the Legislature reorganized the old Board of Insurance Commissioners into the State Board of Insurance, with a commissioner of insurance charged with checking the books of all insurance companies to see that they are safe for the policyholders.

Killiam A. Harrison, the former assistant state auditor and a certified pub1is accountant, was chosen as commissioner. He reorganized the examination set-up and set up new procedures for keeping close tob on insurance operations.

Judge Thomas C. Ferguson of Burnet, who recently left the chairmanship of the Board of Insurance to run for the Third Court of Civil Appeals, paid high praise to Harrison's examination staff in a farewell interview after he left office.

Ferguson said a major accomplishment has been practices of accounting which keep Commissioner Harrison "so well informed of company practices affecting solvency that corrective action is possible in time to prevent deterioration and to preserve the solvency of companies."

Ferguson made this the No. 1 accomplishment of the newly-reorganized administrative agency, in these words: "There results, on occasion, an impairment of financial structure by reason of actions which were well-intended but imperfectly conceived and executed, and there are other actions which are done without regard to public responsibility.

"It is urgently necessary that in the comparatively few times either of these things occur that the commission can be apprised of them in time to act to save the company as a whole, if possible, but in all events to prevent loss to the policyholders."

The record of the Board of Insurance indicates that Judge Ferguson knows what he is talking about. In the last three and a half years, Harrison has used the "conservatorship" process on 54 insurance companies. This means that a board employe, State Liquidator C. H. Langdeau, has been told to take over the companies and try to save the policyholders' savings.

Of the 54 such companies, 11 have been closed after the policyholder obligations have been assumed by other companies

Btrana 27

Vt STNIK -- WEST, TEXAS

under reinsurance contracts. Another 25 companies were rehabilitated, put on a sound basis, and turned back over to their stockholders, often after removal of the officers who got them in bad shape in the first place.

The other 16 disposed of were placed in receivership, to salvage as much as possible for the creditors and policyholders.

As the new fiscal year started, 7 were still in conservatorship. All seven are small companies, mostly burial associations. But they are important to the people who have been paying their premiums to them through the years and counting on them to pay off at death.

But in the same three and a half year period. Harrison has used the other legal course of receivership. Those are the companies which are too far gone to conserv.

The statistics indicate that they are now weeded out, with 31 put in receivership during the period, 22 of them in 1960 alone. Only one had to go to into receivership in 1961, indicating that Ferguson's observations have weight.

As of the close of the last fiscal year, Liquidator Langdeau still had 31 firms in liquidation, after closing out 52 receiverships in the last three and a half years.

But virtually all of the 31 were the big ones which toppled in the period from 1953 to 1956, plus the large group of smaller ones which one man got hold of and shuffled their assets in 1960.

The courts continue to write the sad stories as Langdeau's lawyers try to gather in the remaining assets to pay the creditors. Recently, Willis R. Winters of Reeves County was told by the Third Court of Civil A ppeals that he must pay $77,928 to Langdeau for the benefit of creditors of State National Life Insurance Co. of Dallas.

Winters argued vainly that he never got the $57,000 he borrowed from the company, that he just endorsed tne check and gave it to W. L. Bridges, Jr. head of the firm, and he was to get the money later. The court said the money appeared to be "gone with the wind" but Winters must pay, or turn over a large group of town lots at Balmorhea on which he had borrowed the money.

Langdeau was able to close out 10 receiverships last year, while he was restoring fiscal health to a dozen.

And all the transactions are carried out openly, in public hearings with the discussions and the actions recorded in writing, and signed. )•A•( Few choices are between right and wrong -- most are between what we should do, and what we want to .do.

D g Bites (from The American Medical Assn.)

Dogs are wonderful pets and companions. Just about every American family at one time or another has a dog and they are great company for the kids and the older folks enjoy them too.

But dogs are, after all, animals. Sometimes they bite. Ofteri if you or your child are bitten, it's at least partially your fault.

While training your dog in how to get along with humans, it might be well to train your children in how to get along with dogs, advises "Today's Health", the magazine of the American Medical Association. The child who treats a dog with proper respect runs much less risk of being bitten. A few simple rules will help to keep you from becoming one of the 600,000 Americans who were bitten by dogs last year.

I. Don't give a dog to a very small child, say under six, unless you are prepared to be constantly on the scene when dog and child are together. The toddler doesn't realize that pulling the dog's tail, vigorous cuddling, trying to ride piggy-back, pulling his ears just aren't appreciated by the animal. Too much attention and the dog may snap back.

2. Never allow the child to abuse or tease the dog. Check with your local. branch of the anti-cruelty society for Idvice, or check out a library book on dog care and training. Make your child a partner in the training and care.

3. Let the dog alone while he is eating.

Even the best trained of dogs resent interference with their feeding time.

4. Sometimes dogs, like children, get over-excited running or playing. If the dog is running and barking while the child runs, or races on a bicycle, he might bite from sheer excitement.

5. Don't wake a sleeping dog abruptly.

Startled he may snap out.

6. Be careful in trying to separate fighting dogs. One or both of them may turn on you.

Learn these rules, teach them to your children and enjoy your pet. The dog wants love and affection. He deserves respect. ) • QT. • ( The 1962 Commercial Egg Clinic, a continuation of the annual Cage Clinic, will be held at Texas A. and M. College on March 28.

7-Step Program Increases Cott n Yield College Station — The past year wasn't what cotton growers in many Texas counties would classify as a good one, but for the state as a whole, lint yields were the second highest on record, 348 pounds an acre. Thus, low yields in some areas were offset by record yields in others,

v2sTNIK,— WEST, TEXAS cation has raised lint yields by as much as 25 per cent.

A team of extension specialists — cotton, entomologist, cotton gin, and at times others — was used to carry educational information to the counties. The team conducted 157 meetings, attended by 13,252 producers. County agents in their follow-up work held almost 2,100 meetings with an attendance of approximately 53,000. County agents and committees also enjoyed the cooperation of newspapers, radio and television stations for getting needed information to producers and supplied them with more than 2,1000 stories, 2,250 radio and 39 television programs.

Cotton is still the state's most important crop and the progress made has materially aided the entire economy of Texas, the specialist concluded.

"Rabbit Fever" Austin — Tularemia — alias "rabbit fever" — increased in Texas last year compared to 1960. The actual number of cases, 13 during 1961 as against nine for 1960, is not startling, but is of concern to victims and to people engaged in communicable disease control.

The figures are tallied each week by the Texas State Department of Health from reports gathered throughout the state. In all probability there were actually more cases than were reported.

Tularemia is caused by an oval-shaped organism called Pasteurella tularensis in dubious horror of Tulare County, Calif., where it was first discovered as an infection of wild rabbits and squirrels.

The disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected fly or tick, or when the germ is accidentally introduced into the body during the process of dressing wild game. It can also be acquired by eating insufficiently cooked meat from an infected game bird or anlimal. The death rate of untreated case; is usually about five per cent.

The infection has been and is stir known all over Texas, but is reported most often from the eastern section of the state. Outdoorsmen are more susceptible than the general population because of a greater chance for exposure.

According to the best authorities, or a nationwide basis 90 per cent of human cases are acquired from rabbits, chiefly wild cottontails. Other susceptible native animals are coyotes, opossums: skunks, deer and some species of snakes.

As for damestic animals natural infections have been found in cats, dogs, hogs, and sheep. Among susceptible wild birds are quail, chicken hawks, and horned owls — all native to Texas.

There is no truth in the belief that rodents are tularemia-free in winter, health authorities advise. Cases occur every month of the year, but mostly in April, May and June, the months of greatest tick activity.

The danger of contracting tularemia, is another reason for not drinking raw creek or lake water. The organism can live in water where the disease prevails in wildlife.

The use of rubber gloves when handling wild game, refraining from drinking raw water, thoroughly cooking of all game, and prompt disinfection of scratches and insect bites will help prevent tularemia infection.
