AMERICKA SIVILOUVA 0 ODBZROJENi V dneknim rozharanem svete, kdy nase pozornost je obracena na Laos, Ji'Zni Vietnam, Berlin nebo na posledni krisi kdekoli jinde, snadno prehledneme oZehavou otazku naki . doby: zachovame si mfr v odzbrojenem svete, nebo budeme pokraeovati v zdvodech zbrojeni a skoneime nuklearni katastrofou?

Prdve o teto otazce jedna sedmnact narodti na odzbrojovaci konferenci v teneve. Jeliko'Z Zivoty nas vkech zavisi moZna, na spravnem zodpovezeni otazky, nikdo z nas nemfik ji zanedbati.

Vec tak rozsania a komplexni jako pine odzbroj eni zda se na prvni pohled vymYkati zasahti jednotlivYch obeanii.

Ve skuteenosti vkak mute bYti rozhodujicim einitelem prave verejne mineni zde a v zahranioi. Pri yytvateni tohoto mineni mute pak hrati aspoil malou hu kaMY z nas. Predevkim musime se seznamiti s dfilditymi navrhy, prediaenYmi naki vlastni vladou, a na druhem miste musime se snaZiti ziskati pro americky program pratele zdejki, a pokud mono i zahranieni.

18. dubna 1962 predlaily Spojene stdty sedmnactielenne odzbrojovaci konferenci v &neve koncept smlouvy o vkeobecnem a upinem odzbrojeni. "Tento ndstin smlouvy representuje nejobsahlejki a nejpresneji vymezenou serif navrht SpojenYch state nebo kterekoll jine zeme, porizenou kdy o odzbrojeni," pravil president Kennedy.

Arthur H. Dean, hlavni americky

dele-

(Informaeni eldnek) gat na odzbrojovaci konferenci, vyjazakladni filosofii SpojenYch state v otazce odzbrojeni takto: predevkim zastavme zavody ye zbrojeni; pak sniZme pritomnou firoveri 'ozbrojeni i pooetni stay vojska:; a koneane zlikvidujme pine ykechno vojenske zrizeni.

Podia americkeho planu melo by se tohoto cue dospeti ye ttech stadiich, po jejich2 spineni zachovaly by se pouze ty ozbrojene sboryi a zbrane, kterych je ,tteba k zacho yani potadku v narode, nebo ktere by byly ureeny pro mirove sbory SpjenYch narodt. Americky navrh byl vypracovan tak, aby v obdobi postupneh• sniZovani poeetnosti ozbrojene mod., zakladen, zbrojiva a nuklearnich zbrani nemohla Zadna veimoc ziskati oproti druhe nejake vYhody.

Pro prvni stadium navrhli j sme zmenSeni poeetniho stavu vojska Spojenych state a Sovetskeho Ruska na 2.1 milionu pro kabileho. Takte2 v prvnim stadiu ma dojiti ke tricitiprocentnimu sniZeni ye vkech nuklearnich zbranich a v prostredcich k jejich upotrebeni — jako na -priklad B-52, v rizenYch strelack Atlas a Titan; s produkci Atepitelnehe materialu, hodiciho se pro yYrobu nuklearnich zbrani, ma se ustati; do vesmiru nesmeji byti odpalovany zbrane k masove destrukci. Podrobnosti techto zakrokft jsou jasne definovany v nastinu americke smlouvy.

Spojene stati nalehaji tez na postupn& sniZovani ye zbrojeni, ktere by bylo no i fleinneji kotrolovati. Tento dozor a provereni vkech kroku odzbojovacriha postupu jsou dtidelitou sloaou americkeho planu. Predpokladaji zkizeni mezinarodni odzbrojovaci organisace v ramci SpojenYch narocifi.

Otazka odzbrojeni zahrnuje ovgem j ekte mnoho jinYch pr yku — dohody na zabraneni neoeekavaneho fitoku, postupne nahralo ydni narodni ozbrojene moci silnYmi mirovYmi sbory SpojenYch narodti, prevedeni AtepitelnYch hmot k mirovYm &alum a pokojnou spolupraci v nadzemskYch vYkkach. Veechny tyto body jsou yYznaenou sionou navrhovane smlouvy.

Mir v odzbrojenem svete je vrelou nadeji fkech lidi. A piece jenom nepatrna menkina obyvateln tett) zeme i jinYch zerni vi nen o jednotlivYch navrzich na odzbrojeni v Zeneve projednavanych.

Jak &indite je, aby anierickY plan ziskal pochopeni zde i v zahraniei, jak dtilelite je, aby se vyvinulo pilsobive verejne mineni!

Jde o otazku Z. ivota a smrti, o Yee, do ktere maze zasahnouti kaZdY. Seznamte se s americkYm planem na odzbrojeni!

Seznamte s nimi sve pratele, jak zdejki, tak i zahranieni! Pomorte ueiniti odzbrojeni skutkem, nikoli pouze snem,

Dear Friends Everywhere:

What has made this possible is the continuous liberalization of acceptance limitations by life insurance companies in recent years. This has been accomplished by means of an extra premium whose size is proportionate to the higher risk involved. Additional thousands of persons have insurance today at standard premium rates, where they once had to pay more for their insurance — or even were uninsurable.

More than $22,00,000,000 of this special type of protection is now in force with legal reserve life insurance companies doing business in the United States, the Institute estimates. Life insurance calling for extra premiums represents 6 per cent of the value of all ordinary policies in force.

Results of the survey of 1.961 purchases of ordinary life insuo. ace show that 36 per cent of the tot at affluent was in combination plans, comp, i red with 29 per cent in 1956. In the years sinee 1956, annual purchases of (m!haary life insurance have gone up mire than 50 per cent.

The second most popular .ananKeith 1961 buyers, in terms of Ina., was straight life, bought alone, hich accounted for 27 per cent o s ggregate purchases in the year. However, if the straight life purchased alone and that added throu gh combination plans were considered together, the straight life plan would account for between 30 and 40 per cent of the purchases.

Limited payment life policies, lifetime contracts on which premiums are required for only a limited period, such as 20 or 30 years, led in popularity by number of policies bought in 1961, although they showed a smaller share than in 1956. They accounted for 28 per cent in 1961, 35 per cent in 1956. Limited payment policies are most bought by women and children.

Endowment plans have decreased their share of purchases, the 4 per cent of amount in 1961 comparing with 6 per cent in 1956, and 11 per cent of number comparing with 18 per cent in 1956.

Term insurance not bought in combination with permanent insurance increased its share of purchases only slightly in these years. The 1961 purchases represented 17 per cent of the total amount, compared - with 14 per cent in 1956, and 8 per cent of number of policies, compared with 7 per cent in 1956.

Retirement income policies remained at 2 per cent, both by amount and number. Modified life plans, those providing' smaller initial premiums increasing after a few years, accounted for 7 per cent of the amount in 1961, 9 per cent in 1956, and 6 per cent of the number in both 1956 and 1961.

Strana 13 Two-thirds of the policies bought in 1961 were purchased by individuals between the ages of 15 and 44, a onetenth larger share than five years earlier. But this age group accounted for 83 per cent of the aggregate amount purchased, compared with 79 per cent in 1956.

In 1961, 31 per cent of the policies bought were for $10,000 or more, while in 1956, only 22 per cent were of this size. The 1961 figures showed 52 per cent to be $5,000 or more, compared with 41 per cent in 1965. ) 0(

Fraternally, Marcella M. Kleprlik, Dist. Seven Youth Director 202 Schmeltzner Lane gan Antonio 13, Texas )O( PROPER MANAGEMENT OF CREDIT BUYING ESSENTIAL To SUCCESS Properly used, credit is very helpful.

Once it gets the best of you; it is like a millstone around your neck. Installment buying has seen a tremendous growth during the past few years. In 1946 consumers debt, excluding mortgage debt was 8.4 billion dollars. In 1959 this figure has risen to 52 billion dollars.

Not all of this increase could be attributed to installment credit, but much of it could. Almost two-thirds of our automobiles, for instance, are bought on credit; and the average new car loan is over $2,500.

All this seems to show a basic change in the attitude toward debts. Formerly, people tended to - wait and save to buy items that took large sums of money.

This was particularly true when consumption items — those items -that did little or nothing to increase family earning power — were involved, there was something of a social stigma attached to being in debt, even for income producing items like farm tractors and machinery.

People's attitude seems to have changed considerably. We now want things "right away" rather than waiting til we can pay "cash". Credit and installment are socially accepted things to do. The great increase in the numbers and kinds of credit cards points out how attitudes have changed. It is not unusual to 'find people carrying three or more different credit cards.

Installment buying lets people use and enjoy things as you pay for them. It is well to keep in mind that you are usually paying for this privilege. In -one way or another you pay for the use of the money involved. It may be in the from of state interest which usually is less than true interest it may be in the form of service or carrying charges, it may be in the form of higher prices, it may be a combination of these forms.

In any case, you pay [or the use of the money and service.

S.P.J.S.T, SOFTBALL TEAM, DALLAS Dear brothers and sisters: On Tuesday night, July 31, we opened play in the Dallas City Softball Managers' Association Championship Playoffs and we dropped a very close game to J. H. Rose Transportation Team who are one of the favorites to cop the Championship. The score was close, 3 to 1, in their favor, in a well played game. They scored three runs in the fourth inning and we scored one run in the bottom of the fourth and that's how the score remained.

Wesley Jaska hurled the first four innings, allowing six hits, walked one and struck out three' batters. Ted Marlowe, a pitcher we drafted for the City playoff from Central Freight, burled the last three innings, allowed one hit, walked one and struck out one batter.

Frank Mach, III, turned in a great game behind the plate.

Wesley Jaska was our leading hitter with a. sigle; Paul Calenta had two walks and scored our only run; Jerry Manak had a walk; and Alex Parma had a walk.

We played a good defensive game as no errors were committed and everyone played their best.

We had a very large turnout of rooters, our thanks for your presence.

Wednesday night, August 1, we played Johnson and Johnson, and we lost another heart breaker in the top of the seventh inning by a score of 5 to 2. We had a 2 to 0- lead and we had one out when their batter walked, the next than bit into a fielder's choice as the runner advanced to second. The next batter walked and Wesley Ja,ska had to be relieved due to leg cramps. Up to this point, Jaska had struck out seven batters, walked four batters and allowed one scratch hit. Ted Marlowe relieved Jaska and the next batter walked, then the next one got a scratch hit off the pitcher's glove allowing one run to score.

We simply lost our rabbit's foot or something, anyway, by virtue of this loss, we were eliminated from the playoffs, though we did play two real good games. Despite the two losses, we were proud ef the team as the players gave their best and that's all we could expect.

Frank Mach. III, turned in another splendid game behind the plate. There were no errors committed as all the players played a good game.

Leading hitters were: Wes Jaska, with two hits; Leonard Drozd, with a single saftie; Albin (Bino) Vrana and Frank Mach III, bought got on base via baseon-balls.

We had about our largest turnout of members and friends at the game and we wish to express our deepest gratitude for your attendance. We are sorry and we feel "kinda low" after losing two such close games. We will still play at least two more games in the Dallas ASA Tournament which commences on Monday night, August 20 and our first opponent will be the Dallas Hawgs, another strong team.

We are all proud of you fellows and your leaders with the best of luck in the ASC Tournament.

The fishing trip on which the team players went on July 21 and 22 was well enjoyed by all attending, only the catch was small as we caught only ten fish in all. This was a most enjoyable and pleasurable excursion.

We had a picture taken of the team and it will be forwarded to the Vestnik for publication at a later date.

Most of you

Wednesday, August 8, 1962 girls have fheard the "Stone Soup" joke, which originated with these folks.

You start with a big smooth stone from the fields, well-scrubbed, of course, then added carrots, onions, potatoes, herbs, piece of stewing beef and a pig's trotter or two, with feather-light dumplings dropped into crown the fragrant concoction.

Extra cakes, pies and loaves of bread which these women from the farms made were carried into town to be sold, along with eseese, sausage and breakfast scrapple made from cornmeal and pork scraps.

Shoofly Pie became famOus, and even the "munching pies" of dried fruit, intended for nibbling in church when the sermons were overlong — were snatched up by townspeople.

The word pie to the Pennsylvania Dutch meant something entirely different than that of the New Englanders or Yankees. "Montgomery Pie" was really a cake with lemon sauce baked into it, yet the same cake with a baked-inchocolate sauce was called "Funny Cake." Shoofly Pie was a molasses-andcrumb mixture baked in pastry but with cakelike texture.

Chicken Pot pie was really chicken stew with dumplings.

When our Czech ancestors came to Texas, it too, was a frontier country. and our women had to cope with the same problems as the Pennsylvania Dutch women. Being innate good cooks from the old country, they' adapted to local ingredients available and which could be ,grown !here, such as our beloved "poppy seed" and they adapted to cooking methods learned from the settlers already here, many of whom were Germans, Irish, Nodwegian and French, who perhaps got their ideas from the Indians, as with corn and its by-products. Early American settlers used "grits" and "hominy" as well as cornmeal in cookery and our mothers learned • to make cornbread with the best of them,. Biscuits, too, a quick bread, was another item which became a mainstay in our early Czech families.

Many of you still remember the souer kraut barrels on our farms, the dill pickle crocks fermenting cucumbers in their brine, weighted down by a plate and a clean stone and covered with a White cloth. Many of you still remember how good the sampling was, when the pickles were taken up to be repacked, the top ones down to the bottom of the crock and the .bottom pickles placed on top, the brine cooked, cooled and poured on the pickles. Some of you still use

Wednesday, August 8, 1962 the sauerkraut barrel and pickle crock method while some of you put up the sauerkraut and the pickles into their respective jars where they are allowed to ferment, then sealed and processed.

While we have so many mixes and quicker methods today of putting in;gredients together, it is interesting to look back — what a giant step cooking has taken in the last fifteen years and these things recorder by the. Pennsylvania Dutch, and other localities will soon be unknown by the coming generation of cooks who will push buttons on micro-wave ovens to serve a presto meal to her family.

Today, I gave you no recipes, just a chat about cooking from early times.

When man quit eating raw meat and took to cooking it, the recipe came into being. It is interesting to know how some of our dishes came into being.

It is a fascinating story of how spices were introduced into cookery and by whom. When one stops to think of the people, famous and not so famous, who contributed, through the centuries, from all over the world to cookery, it takes your breath away. If I can get some of this into the Vestnik, if space allows, I shall like to tell vou some of it.

Until then, stay well, drive carefully, stay calm and cool (with a cold glass of lemonade) and stay beautiful.

Fraternally, The Editor's wife --)O( LADIES CIRCLE OF LODGE 92 Fort Worth, Texas Dear Members and Friends, The next meeting of the Ladies Circle will be held, Thursday, August 9, at the National Hall.

Anyone that has a talent should come out and try to win, even if you have not been chosen by your lodge for reasons as that there is no youth club, if you qualify as to our rules you may compete. Let's look around and talk to the young that have talent, I know that there is some in each lodge in this District, only if some encouragement would come from us adults. As soon: as a contestant is found in your lodge please contact me.

MISS NODYA REJCEK HERALDS THE PRESENTATION OF NEW ROYALTY FOR 1962-1963!

Yes, for the sixth straight year Lodge 84 has crowned a new King and Queen, In a ceremony of Dazzling beauty and great regality, Biss Penny Peshak (Queen of 1961-1962) placed a brilliant crown upon the head of Miss Nodya Rejcek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Rejcek. Then the red satin, ermine-trimmed robe was placed around her hroulders and a bouquet of beautiful red roses was presented to our new Queen by our precious little Duchess, the daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Emil Cbmelar.

The new King is Frankie Faraizl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Faraizi.

This year's ceremony was run on a slightly different basis, the details of which I'm sure will be explained later on. However, one ,girl was selected from among many in the Teen-Age Club to reign as Lodge 84's Queen for the coming year. I am sure that there is no one who would not agree, that Nodya Rejcek is - by far the most deserving of the title of Queen. Two times Nodya gave of her time, energy, and efforts to participate in the Queen's contest. Two times she strove toward's high ideals and brought many, many members -to our .SPJST. Two times Nodya became runner-up to the Lodge Queen. And then Nodya went on to represent her Mother Lodge in a District contest and again became runnerup to the Queen. During these times when Nodya came so very close to her dream and the dream of so many others, she never once was a poor loser. She

Strana 24 showed a tremendous amount of good sportsmanship and profited far more than what she realized. Because of her wonderful attitude, Nodya gained the respect and admiration of many people and she won ever so many true friends.

So, is it any wonder that as Nodya Rejcek was announced Queen for this year that the hall swelled with great applanse and shouts of joy and exclamation?

Thus for the year to come Lodge 84 will have a wonderful young lady and a wonderful young man to reign as their King and Queen. It is the wish of Many that only the most pleasant of thing'S will come,, their way for they are both extremely deserving of them.

In conclusion, may I extend my perfsonal congratulations to Nodya and Frankie and may I thank my Lodge for the lovely corsage presented to me that evening.

God bless you and — Long Live the Queen!!

First I want to say how happy I was on July 22 on our Youth Club Picnic. I also would like to thank my parents, Bro. and Sister Edmund and Estelle Marek, and Brother and Sister Edward and Helen Cepak for taking care of the youth members of Lodge 54 on our picnic. I am very proud of our three Youth Leaders, sisters Frankye Mikeska,

Wednesday, August 8, 1962 Helen Cepak and Estelle Marek. I am sorry Sister Frankye Mikeska was unable to be with us on this occasion. We do try to get along with our youth leaders.

So, on Sunday morning we all got together at our Lodge Hall and then we were on the way to Waco. We ate a de4Ci0113 dinner of fried chicken and French fries at Youngbloods on 26th St. in Waco, Texas, and all enjoyed a nice dinner. Yum, yum, it sure was delicious.

Then we went to Cameron Park and all members had a nice time and also we had cold drinks and kolaches there, then we went to the Cen-Tex Zoo and everyone enjoyed looking at the animals. And then we topped that off with snow cones, which, as you know, are very good in hot weather.

From the Cen-Tex Zoo we went to Candy Cane Playland where we had lots of fun and laughs. We members enjoyed all the rides and Sure enjoyed the bumper cars, tilt of whil and the wild Mouse, but most of all I like the bumper cars. The bumper cars were a lot of fun where someone would come up and bump you and spin you every which way. But I enjoyed it.

Then we got a snack at the Chuck Wagon on Sixth Street. We had hamburgers, chips and cold drinks. Boy, what a day. Wish we could have them more often.

When we went home we all talked about the good food we ate and the merry rides at the Candy Cane Playland.

That's a day I won't ever forget.

See you at our meetings as you know your attendance makes our picnics.

Fraternally yours, Rose Marie Marek Historian, Lodge 54 )0( LODGE' NO'. 66 WACO Dear Readers, I thought I would write a few lines to say "Thank You" to every one who helped me to become a Duchess. It was the happiest night of my life. Mrs. Parma and her assistants, a special "Thank you" for the gifts and the beautiful trophy. All the girls were dressed beautifully and the boys were handsome.

To my escort Chris Spence, I want to say that everything you did for me was deeply appreciated. My daddy couldn't dance because of the accident, so when it came time for the parents to dance, my uncle Bill Kapavik took my daddy's place and danced with my mother. I thought that was very nice. To my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Moore, "Thank you" for all you have done for me. I know it was a hard go, but it was well worth every effort. I love both of you.

Ve stfedu, dne 8. srpna 1962 , BIOLOGISTS STUDY COASTAL FISH Austin — One of the most important objectives of coastal fisheries biologists is to learn the spawning, feeding and migratory habits of marine life along the Texas coast. To do this, these scientists roust catch and tag or stain thousands of fish, shrimp and crabe.

In upper Galveston Bay, near Seabrook, the last week in June, 55 crabs were tagged with spaghetti dart tags and released. At Matagorda Bay, a drum tagged February 12 of this year and released in Turtle Bay was returned. It had been at liberty for 104 days and moved some 6 miles southeast of the tagging site. Biologists at Seadrift, as at all areas along the coast, are constantly trawling for shrimp samples. They report that brown shrimp are again very scarce in the area. At Corpus Christi, biologists noted that brown shrimp started moving out of the bay in large numbers.

STNt K— WEST, TEXAS SKIN DIVING Skin diving is one of America's fastest growing sports.

A few hardy souls skin dive the year around, even in winter. But most of the skin divers participate in the sport in the warm summer months in warm water.

Diving makes demands on the body which are unlike those met in everyday life, says "Today's Health," the Magazine of the American Medical Association. Navigating under water is heavy exertion and those with respiratory problems or heart and blood vessle disease should not attempt it. Diving is ruled out for those with perforated ear drums. Ear plugs are for surface swimming only and should not be used for diving because of the water pressure.

Because of the pressure changes, sinuses and ears must be in good condition to equalize pressure.

Asking your doctor to evaluate your fitness for diving is a precaution that will pay dividends. Along with good health, the potential diver should be a better than average swimmer. A moderately skilled swimmer can dive with SCUBA equipment, but in an emergency In the lower Laguna Madre, seven the swimming skills born of long practrout and one redfish were tagged and tice may mean the difference between 'released.

Strana 27 TURKEY BARBECUE—IT'S DELICIOUS College Station — 'Few can resist the succulent smell of golden-crisp summer turkey sizzling on the open grill or revolving on the spit. Barbecued turkey meat is excitingly new and tasty, and when cooked right it all but melts in your mouth, expains Z. Beanblossom, extension poultry marketing specialist. Barbecues featuring turkey meat are easy to prepare whether for a small family picnic or a large community gathering, and any size turkey from 4 to 24 pounds can be barbecued, points out the specialist. He, does recommend that the larger birds be deboned or disjointed and marinated several hours before barbecuing.

The secret to, barbecuing is a slow cooking job. After the charcoal has turned a grey color, you are ready to put the turkey on the grill or spit, says Beanblossom.

Place the meat on the grill bone side down, and after about 15 minutes, turn it for the first time. Baste. and allow about 10 minutes of cooking time before giving it the second turn. After the second turn, Beanblossom says to make the turns at 5 minute intervals and each time baste the meat with your favorite barbecue sauce. He recommends cooking: until the desired golden-crisp color is obtained and cautions against puncturing the skin for such allows the tasty juices of the turkey to escape.

Now for . that something special, Beanblossom suggests the use of a marinating sauce. He says to immerse the cut-up meat in a sauce consisting of 2 parts sauterne wine or lemon-lime fizz water, I part soy sauce, and I part peanut oil. Add lemon juice to suit the taste and garlic cloves if desired. There should be enough cf the sauce to completely cover the meat. The specialist suggests leaving the meat in the marinade for at least two hours.

This same sauce, he adds, can be used in cooking whole turkeys on a spit. Just brush it frequently on the bird while it is cooking, he says. ) 0 ( -"Do you wish the court to understand that you refuse to renew your dog license?"

Usually the parent writes that the teacher says the child doesn't concentrate.

The assumption by the parent and teacher is that there must be some way to persuade or force a child to concentrate.

It is possible to do either for a few moments, as when a teacher quietly asks the inattentive child to pay attention or

Wednesday, August 8, 1962 shouts at him to do so, or when the almost insane parent shrieks at the voungster or gives him a blow. But at best, concentration then may be only temporary.

You might be able to require a child to turn his head and eyes and assume a i physical posture of attention. But you can't be sure you can direct what goes on inside his head. You can't be sure you can force him to attend to what is at hand or to concentrate on it for an appreciable time.

He must be interested in order to be, really attentive and to keep concentrating, which is the same as saying that he must be succeeding at learning.

We get the cart before the horse when we say toe child would learn better if he attened better, concentrated better.

Instead, we should, know he will concentrate better when he learns better.

When a child habitually does not concentrate on the lesson at hand, our problem is to find ways to help him enjoy more success at this lesson, as at spelling, reading or arithmetic.

More often than not his chief trouble is with reading. He can't go far in solving arithmetic problems if he can't read them well for meaning.

By the time be is in the fofirth or fifth grade, nearly every subject at school WHEN CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS USE THIS COUPON Supreme Lodge, S.P.J.S.T. Box 100, Temple, Texas I am asking you to change my address of The Herald_ (Vestnik) as follows: My old address is:

Wednesday, August 8, 1962 requires reading, including history, geography and science. Usually the child who lags or fails in such subjects really lags or fails in reading.

Therefore when your child's teacher complains to you that your child does not pay attention, doesn't concentrate at school, you can't hope to make him pay attention and concentrate better by commanding him to do so. While you should let 'him know you expect him to observe the regulations at school and at home. your main concern should be tc find ways by which he may enjoy more success at learning from books. ) 0( FARM SITUATION Too many folks seem to think that boosting farm prices is the only way to improve farm income. Yet rising costs are taking more from farmers' pocketbook than lower prices.

"You wouldn't pour water in the basement when the fire is on the roof," observes Larry Simerl, University of Illinois economist. "But we have been just as impractical in our efforts to raise farm income. We've been working on the price side for 30 years and have not had satisfactory results, while nearly 90 per cent of the money spent by consumers for farm products is absorbed by costs of marketing and production."

Marketing costs take 61c of the consumer dollar and production costs use another 27c This high-cost high-price policy is putting American farmers at a disadvantage in the world market.

"Prices of our farm products are strongly influenced by worldwide conditions," Simerl adds. "But our costs of marketing and production are largely made in the U.S.A. Our farmers suffer when U.S. made costs get too high in relation to world-made prices."

Farmland Values Reach New Peak Farm real-estate market values in the Nation advanced 5 per cent during the year ending March 1, 1962, according to a recent release of the Economic Research Service. The index of average value per acre of all farmland in 50 states, at 183 per cent of the 1947-49 average, was at an all-time high. Land owners in all of the states except Washington shared the gain in farmland values. The outlook is for a moderate increase during the 6 months following March 1, states the ERS. The total market value of farm real estate at the beginning of March was an estimated $136 billion, or an average of $123 per acre. The average value per farm totaled more than $41,000, of which land accounted for $32,800 and buildings, $8,500.

VESTNI — WEST, TEXAS Compared with a year ago, farmland values as of March 1, 1962, were up 7 per cent in Oklahoma, 6 per cent in Texas, and 5 per cent in each of the states of Arizona, Louisiana, and New Mexico.

Cattle Outlook for the Future The number 'of all cattle and calves stood at 99.5 million on January 1, 1962. an increase of 2.4 million. The number of cows was 1.1 million above that of lAt year and the calf crop will be larger.

The recent increases in cattle numbers point out that beef production within the next few years will set new records.

The effect of increased, supplies on prices cannot he pinpointed too closely, but the price depressing force is certain. Cattle producers should be alert to the possibility of increases in pork production coinciding with the large beef supplies sometime during the next two years.

Get Your License It's catfishing time in Texas, and some big ones are now being hauled in on trot lines, and even with rods and reels.

But a great many fishermen don't know rheir catfish. Every day letters come to the office of the Game and Fish Commission seeking information about these fresh water species found in the lakes and streams of Texas, according to T. D. „arroll. coordinator of information and education.

To answer these questions, the Commission has reissued its bulletin No. 39, nititled "The Fresh Water Catfishes of Texas, and How to Know Them." The bulletin lists the fresh water catfishes, with a chart making identification easy.

Also, it covers the feeding habits and habitat, enabling fishermen to have greater creel success. This bulletin is sent free to interested persons.-

Fishermen Fined Austin—Three South Texa.s telephone fishermen last month dialed the wrong number. One was fined $160, and lost his fishing license, and two were fined $80 each and lost their licenses. They were charged with using an electric device to take fish, a practice commonly known as "telephoning."

Gale wardens during April made 251 arrests, and court fines and costs amounted to $7.049.50, according to the monthly report of J. B. Phillips, coordinator of law enforcement of the Game and Fish Commission.

Ve sti-edu, dne 8. srpna 1962 STORM CELLARS CAN BE CONVERTED TO FALLOUT SHELTERS College Station—Many of the tornado and underground vegetable cellars in Texas can be made into good fallout shelters, says W. S. Allen, extension agricultural engineer.

However, there are several points that must be kept in mind when remodeling these shelters to provide adequate fallout protection. They are: (a) adequate shielding, (b) a protected entrance, (c) positive ventelation, (d) storage facilities for supplies, (e) and installation of a radio antenna for radio reception.

The most economical means of providing the additinal shielding need is with a layer of soil to, a depth of about 3 feet over the entire cellar roof. Most cellars will require additional reinforcing in the roof in order to hold this extra weight. A steel reinforced, six inch thick concrete slab cast over the roof may be used instead of the soil cover. A local contractor can tell you the amount of steel necessary for your situation, but for most cellars 1/2 inch steel bars laid on 11 inch centers in both. directions will be sufficient.

A right angle entrance into the cellar, essential to protection from fallout, may be made by building a partial wall inside the existing cellar. If the cellar is

not large enough to permit this wall inside, then a new entrance should be constructed with the necessary right angle in it.

A mechanical blower should be installed to provide positive air exhaust in time of disaster, and an inlet and outlet vent provided. The blower should provide a minimum of 5 cubic feet per minute per person. A filter is not necessary for the avera ge home shelter.

There should be enough shelves and storage space to hold the recommended amount of supplies and a radio antenna should be installed to receive CONEL HAD broadcasts. Be sure that your battery powered radio will work in the shelter and will connect to the antenna.

Fallout shelter plans are available from the Extension Service Office, Office of Civil Defense, and other organizations concerned with civil defense.
