PODPORA LIDSHOST BRATRSTVI

12. prosince (DECEMBER) 1962

Nage povinnosti k lidske spoleenosti Rodina a gkola pripravuje nas pro budouci givot. Kaklemu nastane jednou ogklivosti, mluvme vgdy pravdu a vgude doba kdy se bade muset starati sam o 3i hajme. sebe, kdy se rnusime uplatniti v lidske Laska nam veil, bysme nepfatelfun spoleenosti. svYm odpoug teli a nikdy se nemstili. ValSpoleeenska zfizeni nejsou dosud vzo- ka je zbytek Parbarstvz. 3varrim se murem dokonalosti, ale poskytuji piece eet- sime vyhYbat, a slabych a ubehYch se unYch vkhod. Aby usnadnila a zpiljem- jimat. K podrizenym a slab gim chovejnila Z"ivobyti, rozdelila lidska spoleenost me se laskave. Nebud'me hrubi, ale dvegkerou praci mezi sve eleny: jedni pra- shani, zdvorili, ne v gak podlizavi. cuji telesne, jini du gevne. Vgude kolem sebe vidite stopy teto delby; v gecko, eeho pokvate, elm se odivate, co vam poskytuje pristre gi; na torn v gem pracovalo mnoZstvi jedinet. I nam bude jednou ureitou praci konati• Konejme ii radostno a poctive; kdo nepracuje a povinnosti svYch nekona, je trubcem lidske spoleenosti, jako jsou jimi vgichni kdo'Z bez prate pohodlne ziji z vYsad sveho rodu nebo ze zdedeneho majetku. Za to vgak mejme v Ucte kaideho, kdo poctive kona svou povinnost, trebas to byla prate nejvgednejgi.

Nejen k rodietm a ueiteltim, ale i k ostatnim elentim lidske spoleenosti mame jiste povinnosti. Ty se daji vyjadriti kratce: "Chovejme se ke kaklemu tak, jak si prejeme, aby se k nam• chovali", MR 'Co nechceme aby nam jini cinili, neeinme my jim". Buda tedy ve gkere naPrav2, tech ge j ednani a chovani proniknuto duchem Kdo jsi pravk Oech pravdv a lasky. marnych svar0 neon Pravda nam prutara/e, aDysme vkly jednali poctive a prime- . Chranme P ra kakly pracuj na svem poll -va,nehjmprone°bt. at' jest jakekoll Dane slovo buda ham svato! Le g mej te v pak jsi pravY 6ech.

Budeme-1i vgdy po cely givot tak jed'nati, staneme se uglechtilou povahou neboll charakterem. U glechtila povaha neda, se ve svem jednani zviklati ani penezi, ani krasou, ani mod a postavenim.

Je jasnYm vzorem vgemu lidstvu a zanechava po sobs krasnej gi paanatku netli jest nejnadhernej gi pomnik!

Nelze ani vypoeitati vg ech hmotnSreh vYhod, je2 nam plynou ze givota ye spoleenosti lidske. Pomyslete si, jak by to bylo kdyby rolnik fekl: "Nebudu vzdelavati pudy!" Podobne by jednal pekak a rozboill by svoji pee, nechteje dole peel chleba. Tkadlec i krejei by zastavili praci a kekli by: "Zhotovte si kagdY sam svilj gat!" Vgichni delnici, nyni jako pilne veely pracuj i na ulieich, v dilnach, v tovarnach, na staveni gtich, by pfestali pracovati. Take temeslnici a obchodnici by slogili ruce v kiln — a ka'cIST z nas by si musel vgecko, eeho k givotu potkebule. sam Co by nastalo, kdyby koleeka slo glteho stroje spoleenosti Ildske se zastavila?

Zanikl by g ivot lidskY, ponevadg sami bychom ho neuhajili! Lee i dugevnich statkii nam spoleenost lidska nashromagdila — a tyto poklady jsou nejdraggi!

Kdybychom nemohli rozmiouvati s rozumnymi a vzdelanYmi lidmi, giti mezi nimi, eisti knihy, v nielfZ ulogili krasno myglenky sve, choditi do Skol zustala by srdce na ge gust& jako pole, jehog tvate nikdy nezbrazdilo plodici radio!

Plana rune Dive' Roman Pokradovani Doma, ve svem pokojiku, sklesla na koberec, pied pohovkou a uptela na okamZik pohled k Uprkove veselemu obrazku: "Kterou?" jehoZ,pestra nadhera se na ni i v dnegni nalade usmivala.

Co se to s ni deje?

Proe k ni Jarola tak padivne hoVokil ? Nema mu kikati strkeku. Ano, bylo to komicke, nikdy mu tak netikala, ale kikati mu jen "Jarolo", jako dtive, ne, to teprve nebylo mo2ne. A co 2 3,2 mu bude dle sveho slibu psati?

Pak—ano, pak nebude ji g vyhnuti, pak si bude mysleti, 2e se mezi nimi nic nepiihodilo, 2e ji byl ode davna pHtelem a bude jej oslovovat jako drive Jarolo. Na papite to ptijde mnohem snadneji.

"Sleeno Rt2enko, abed je na stole!" volala na horu Vika.

Think of the countless children orphaned by the innumerable wars of the past! Those of us who enjoy the bliSs and happiness of a complete family life should be especially kind and considerate of those who are not so fortunate, and at least attempt to somehow alleviate their loss.

From The Editor's Desk SOME THOUGHTS FOR. CHRISTMAS At this season of the year, it is appropriate that each of us, young and old, children and parents, pause a moment and take stock of what has happened during the year, and that we all give thanks for the many good things which we are enjoying.

Too many of our young people take for granted the abundance of good things that their parents provide for them. Take the family unit itself. The basis of every civilized social order all over the world is the FAMILY. Within the family unit the father, mother, brothers and sisters and perhaps relatives, live together, all joined by the bond of love and respect for one another. If too much of this love is lacking, the home will not be a happy one.

The family is the "headquarters" of love, common effort, and it would be Useless to seek ;happiness in this world if such love does not exist.

CumsTmAs AHEAD!

Nowhere on this planet can a nation be great, or hope to be great, without a healthy, sound national heritage, based on the family unit. Everything great and beautiful has its beginning in the quiet bliss of the family home. It is, therefore, the duty of every adult man and woman to take care of their offspring, and provide a wholesome atmosphere conducive to excellence in citizenship and a noble purpose in life. As regards Czech family life, we like to point with pride to the closeness and intimacy with Which we rear our offsprings. This is in keeping with the American tradition c g strong bonds of family relationshi p This, I believe, makes this a great notion

Since this was the last meeting of the year, Brother Cervenka read an account of the Youth Acttivities for the year of 1962. The report was a good one.

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS

I see where Sister Anna Reset, the late editor's wife, is leaving us and we regret this very much. We always looked forward to your letters, ideas and recipes.

We will miss them very much. We want to extend our condolences, they are rather late, but sincere. We wish you much happiness, good health and long life in your new home. Maybe you will take time and write a few lines sametimes.

The weatner has been on the dry side and we are not able to have fall gardens like we would like. We have not been so fortunate as they have "up the country" of getting rains. We have had very little nad it is dry here.

Well, the deer season is here and that usually is a hectic six weeks and I will be glad when it is over as life will get back to normal. My husband and sons had real :good luck this year and have bagged their limits, and that means a freezer full of venison, but I'm glad as I love to eat.

We have it processed and make sousage. Half pork and half venison makes a very good product.

Guess I have written enough to put a gray hair in the new editor's head.

Vi.T iS1-1, you luck, Brother Morris, in your new venture and may you be with us a long, long, time.

As this is the last time I will write before Christmas I want to wish everyone, everywhere, a most Happy and Joyous Christmas and may Ole Santa be good to you all.

We were also glad to see our past Fraternally yours, president, Brstlier John Riktorik at the Mary A. Janak meeting. He has been seriously ill for Reporter a long time. He looks real well and we ) 0( were all thrilled to see him getting SPJST DISTRICT III MEETING along so well.

Also, District Organizer Brother Arnold Vrla and Sister Vria; Brother and Sister Stephen Valcik, Brother and Sister Joe Skrabanek of District V, Brother Joe Holasek of West, along with many other officers and members and friends cf District III. A minute of silent prayer was held in memory of our Editor, Brother L. 0.

Hosek.

Brother Edward Marek, President of the Supreme Lodge, brought a wonderful message to our gathering. Other Supreme Officers and District Officers were asked to speak briefly. Various members and Youth Leaders presented very enthusiastic reports of activities of their Lodges and Youth and Teenage Clubs.

The main topic of discussion centered around the District III Youth Camp Site. After hearing the Committee's report by Brother Johnnie Hrabina, and the recommendations of Attorney Brother August Kacir, it was agreed no further action would be taken at this time on the acceptance and development of the camp site near Hillsboro.

However, it was recommended that District III go on record as tovoring the movement of the ,r-statlishment of a Camp Site to serve all SPJST Districts.

It was hoped all members in District III would continue in their projects and contribute further to the fund already established for the youth recreation facility.

With special thanks we wish to acknowledge the contribution to the Youth Camp Fund by Lodge No. 92 in Fort Worth in the amount of $88.64; by 'Waco SPJST Youth Club in the amount of $25.00, and from Brother and Sister Kartous, $55.00. Also, in memory of Brother Hosek $5.00 contributions were made

by Sister Frances Jurcik and by Brother James Janousek. For all these, we are sincerely grateful. Final plans in the accomplishments most likely will require long study and perhaps many changes, however, everyone is encouraged to continuo to work toward the progress of this worthy project.

Everyone enjoyed the program pre sented by the Youth of the various lodges of District III. Sister Cynthia Moore of Lodge 66 gave a reading, "Fraternalism." Several Czech numbers were presented by a group of small children including Danny Vrla, Kenneth. Vria,

Looking forward to seeing you on December 13, 1962.

Fraternally, Joe Paprskar )O( KEEP A SWEAT-FREE HOUSE IN WINTER There are seceral things you can do to prevent windows and walls from sweating during cold weather, say housing engineers in the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Install a ceiling vent fan in the kitchen and bathroom to carry off moisture from cooking, washing and drying clothes, and bathing.

Make a practice of ventilating the house by opening windows or doors occasionally.

• Lay a - ground cover of polyethylene or 55-pound roll roofing beneath the house if it has a Growl space instead of a basement.

The secret of preventing window and wall sweating, the Agricultural Research Service engineers say, is to prevent the buildup of humidity in the warm house, which condenses on areas that are not insulated against the colder temperatures outside.

I will respect my girl friend as I expect other men to respect my sister.

I will respect womanhood because my mother is a woman. I will ask my girl friend to do nothing that I would be ashamed of if my mother found it out.

My girl friend has given me the honor and pleasure of her company. It is wrong for me to expect more in payment for this date.

My firl friend will be a wife and mother someday. She must be an example to her children and the pride of her husband. I will help her be as pure and decent as I want my own wife to be.

Manhood means strength of character as well as body. Lack of self control is a sign of weakness. I want my girl friend to know that I am manly.

For Your information:..

CHRISTMAS EATING Supplies of turkeys increased sharply this week at Texas food markets as the trade prepared for heavy Christmas buying, reports the Agricultural Marketing Service.

Many supermarkets are featuring specials on turkeys, dropping prices almost as low as they have been since the war.

Broilers remain plentiful with prices little changed.

Some cuts of fresh pork reflet the slightly lower hog prices, while beef is generally edging onward.

Shrimp remains in eather tight supply with prices much nigher than a year ago. However, Maine sardines are still plentiful.

Christmas favorites dominate fresh fruit markets. Red Rome and Jonathan apples, red grapes, bananas, Florida grapefruit and oranges, California Naval oranges and cranberries rate as good buys.

Iceberg lettuce, sharply lower than a week ago, leads the bargain list at Texas vegetable counters.

Also, cabbage is much lower as Texas harvesting increases. Other good buys include celery, carrots, onions, especially yellow varieties, sweet potMoes and Round Red potatoes.

Fresh radishes from Florida are usually plentiful. for this season and prices very attractive.

Pecans, lemons and cucumbers are scarce and prices much higher than they normally are during December.

Broiler-fryers have been added to the traditional two-some of turkeys and cranberries as the featured items on the December Plentiful Foods List, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announces.

This will give homemakers with small families a chance to put a plump fowl of just the right size on the Christmas dinner table and at a price that is most attractive. Economists in USDA say that November's low prices for broiler-fryers will continue and they will be much lower than last year.

Ve stredu, dne 12, prosince 1962 Turkeys, too, will continue to offer consumers a good product at a good price. The supply is down only 5 per cent from last year. And for a really scrumptious Christmas dinner, there's nothing like turkey.

Whether you choose turkey or chicken, you'll want to serve a colorful cranberry sauce to go with it. And this year's cranberry crop is now estimated at a record 1,398,000 barrels.

Also on the Plentiful Foods List for December are Maine sardines, oranges, and red tart cherries.

The sardine catch this year was large.

Sardines are an economical source of high - quality protein and they make such good eating. You can get tnem packed either in oil or mustard.

The 1962-63 orange crop will be coining to market in December — just in time for stuffing the Christmas stockings. The 'Florida harvest is expected to be large. The total U.S. crop probably will run 7 million boxes more than the previous high of last year.

You'll also find lots of canned red teat cherries on your grocer's sthelves—packed either in water or as a pie filling. If you buy them for a pie—remember, a 9-inch pie takes about 1 1/2 No. 363 cans. So, figure on buying two cans and making tarts, too. Or, you can ix:Ay your cherry pies at the frozen food case -- already made. These, too, will be plentiful. )0( BE CERTAIN YOU DISPLAY A SAFE CHRISTMAS TREE What kind of a tree is best for you this Christmas?

A SAFE, tree, of course.

Whatever variety of tree you choose this year, be sure that it is freshly-cut, with firmly attached needles. When you select the tree, strige the ground with the thick end. If a shower of needles fall, the tree has been cut too long and will not last for long.

Do not buy your tree until you are ready to decorate it; of you do buy it early, keep it outside. It will stay fresher and will remain green longer after you have put it up. Keep it standing in water at all times.

Eelect the setting for your tree with safety in mind, Locate it in the coolest part of the room, well away from radiators, heaters, and the fireplace. This not only reduces the chances of tire, but as well assures longer life for the tree, as heat dries the tree quickly.

A tree holder is a good investment if it has a bucket of water in which the trunk can rest. The ability of the tree to absorb water will surprise yoU co be

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS sure to, check contents of the bucket often.

Do not use any kind of paper decorations on your tree. Use decorations made of brass, metal or fire-resistant materials.

Use only electric lights on your tree— and check them thoroughly, particularly if they have been stored since last Christmas. Sets with frayed wiring invite disaster.

It is not coincidental that the incideuce of peptic ulcers takes a gradual upturn in October and remains higher than normal through the holiday season.

There is little doubt in the minds of many medical investigators that the excesses o-.,f the winter holidays are contributing factors in the seasonal bumper crop of ulcers.

Many mliday ulcers could be controlled if ti e victim were to restrict his diet to bland, uninteresting foods — a task rnoet difficult to achieve when the rest of the family is enjoying those huge and spicy Christmas and New Year feasts. Another preventive measure would be a slow, relaxed pace -- almost an imperisibility when Christmas shopping most be done and bills must be paid. Instead, most ulcer patients will turn to medical help.

Consequently, doctors will be prescribing more drugs to cure and relieve ulcers in the next few months than at any other time of the year. Some of the most useful new drugs in ulcer treatment are tranquilizers to calm people down, nerve-blocking agents which slow the secretion of acid in the stomach, and antacids, to neutralize or deactivate the acid.

Although Santa Claus may not be able to give you a happy, ulcer-free Christmas, it is now possible that your doctor can. )0(

Pulp, Paper, Are Big United States Business

By Walter B. Moore Editor, Texas Almanac This newspaper originated as a tree.

Every school child knows this. But few adult Americans realize how much paper they require each year. The per capita paper use of Americans is 440 pounds, as compared with the world figure of 57 pounds per person, according to American Pulpwood Association and American Forest Products Industries.

Pulpwood production has nearly doubled since 1950, rising from 20.7 million cords (4x4x8 feet) to 40 million cords in 1961. With annual production of mace than one million cords, Texas is not a top pulpwood state, but ranks among the leading secondary producers.

In East Texas, some 1,305 farmers reported sale of 67,519 cords of pulpwood in the 1960 census.

These figures do not indicate the real importance of pulpwood to the Texas

VASTN1K WEST, TEXAS economy, as Texas Forest Service in 1960 reported 1,134,517 cords of round pulpwood marketed, plus 391,883 cords in the form of pulp chips from sawmill residues.

Forty-nine counties produced pulpwood.

Soutliern Pulpwood Assn. has just released estimates that Texas pulp and paper mills bought $28,830,000 worth in 11961. Leading counties in sales were: Jasper, $1,483,640; Polk, $1,640,620, and Montgomery $1,287,840.

Texas in 1958 hod 121 plants producing paper and their products. In that year (the latest for which Census of Manufacturers' data are available), these plants had 9,813 employes and total payrolls of $51,464,000. Their activities added $121,637,000 to the value of the products they processed.

In addition, 1,571 printing and publishing plants in Texas, with 26,479 employees in 1958, are largely dependent upon pulpwood, for their operations.

They had 1958 payrolls of $116,451,000 and value added by manufacture of $210,943,000.

Nationally, pulpwood is the foundation for one of the largest groups of industries. Some 472 companies operate 813 paper mills and 357 pulp mills, often in the same establishments. There are 4,000 other plants converting paper arid paperboard into such articles as cartons, sacks and many others used daily.

The industry's total sales were 12.5 billion dollars in 1960.

The pulp and paper industry pays nearly 3 billion dollars in wages each year to 578,000 people. Pulpwood purchases total 800 million dollars annually.

Farm wood lots supply 30 to 50 per cent of this pulpwood in the 42 states harvesting pulpwood. Chips from sawmills account for 17 per cent or more of the pul p produced.

About 50,000 small businessmen — such as loggers and contractors — employ about 250,000 persons, -many of them farm /fiwellers.

Ve stiledu, 12. prosince 1962 them at cost, to help rerorest 2,000,000 acres that could be growing more pine for future use.

Timber resources of the United States are not vanishing today, as they were when most adults studied American history, geography and economics. The annual Timber Resource Review a few years ago showed that the yearly timber growth of 14.2 billion cubic feet exceeded the annual cut for all purposes by 3.5 billion cubic feet.

This is a result of the combined cooperation of private firms and federalstate agencies in reducing fire losses, practicing conservation methods and replanting. The 775 million acres of forest land in the nation, including 535 million classed as commercial forests, now proside potential timber each year and moie recreation, cover for game and conservation of soil and water.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHT For some reason, most of us have come to look upon the first day of the year as the ideal time for examination of conscience and for the setting up of a new set of ideals. Would not Christmas be a much better time? What better time than Christmas for all of us to ask this question of ourselves: "What am I contributing to my fellow man; to Christianity; and to the world in which I live?"

—) 0 DEATH TOLL IN TEXAS TOPS NATION A persistent rash of violence over the recent Thanksgiving Day holiday kept Texas tied solidly to the sorry spot as the most deadly state in the nation.

The state's violent death toll swelled to 53 traffic deathts, 37 of them in traffic alone.

Meanwhile, the nation's Thanksgiving weekend accidental death toll climbed to 483. Traffic fatalities reached 348, ,deaths in fires 38 and miscellaneous accidental deaths 97.

Three accidents in whicn 13 persons died near the start of the holidays got Texas has more than 27 million acres classified as forests. Thirty-seven East Texas off to a grim start.

TREE CUSTOMS The Christmas tree custom was started in the U.S. by Hesian soldiers figh•ing with the British army in 1776. German immigrants who later came to this country continued the custom as they had done in the "old country." Christmas trees were in general use in the U.S. by the mid - eighteenth century.

The first White House Lawn Christmas Tree appeared in 1923, placed there by President Calvin Coolidge.
