P KaZdY elovek miluje tu zemi, kde se zrodil a kde byl vychovan, neboli svou vlast; miluje zajiste i sve pribuzne, pratele, zname a krajany, kteri mluvi tYin'Z jazykem jako on a tvori narod. I my, jiste milujem naSi vlast a ni narod, a jiste se radujeme ze ygeho krasneho, co nam je ku prospechu, ale zaboli nas srdce, potkame-li nehody nebo neStesti.

Laska k rodne zemi a narodu zve se vlastenectvi. Prava, vlastenectvi neni jen pouhe vzplanuti citu, ale projev einorode yule, jen Z uklada vane povinnosti.

Tak nam prikazuje abycho-m poslouchali zakony sve zeme, abychom dovedli snaSeti ntrapy a bezpravi pro sve vlastenecke presvedeeni a byli ochotni obetovati jmeni j krev svou na: oltar vlasti. Vane Si proto tech, z ylaSte prostych delnikt, kdo 2 nepodlehli natlaku, a znstali verni svemu narodu, i v cizine. Nehynouci pamet zachovejme dale i tem, kteri pro svobodu vlasti a samostatnost naroda obetovali sytij Zivot at' v praci, at' v boji Ci jinem poctivem snaZeni.

Christmas Blessings

courage, or leisure; give intimately. A gift can show that you honor someone's achievements, or heart's desire. Stimulation is far better than a pair of socks.

The art is to put into every 3ackage more than the gift itself. We should think to ourselves that any Oft will rattle around in any box unless the box is stuffed with human values, I vith joy and smiles, and loving kindw ss. Put yourself in every Christmas pa:kage.

While we're talking about seas ins and celebrations, right in conjuncts m with Christmas is the coming of the n'w(i year.

At this time of the year, resolut .ons are made; some in earnest, some in jest.

Some will be honored and some will fall by the wayside before the new year is 24 hours old. New Year's Eve celebrations are getting gaudier and more elaborate each year; so are the prices.

A large part of America sets out on an evening of gaiety, toasts, noise-making.

Inhibitions are tossed aside with reckless abandon; the "hair is let down." Then — comes the dawn of the next day; the "morning after." Then you wonder if it was all worth it!

In any case, if you do go out New Year's Eve, BE CAREFUL! Don't become another statistic. It's a dangerous evening to be out. Watch the othee fellow.

To be sure of getting home, take a taxi; it may save your life. But, by all means, have fun. Mingle with your brethren and fellow-man, and rejoice with him. Wish him well. When you say, "happy new year," say it as though you really mean it.

We hope that reminiscing over the past year will be a happy recollection for all of you. Remember to be grateful to the many friends who playod some role in your life the past year, f.,rid who helped make your life more meaningful and purposeful.

To all of our good friends everywhere, we extend our warm greetings, and our wishes that the New Year may find and . keep you rich in happiness, and that it may be replete with peace, joy, good health, and prosperity! Goodbye 1962.

LETTERS HVEZDA TEXASU S.P.1.S.T. LODGE NO. 47 Dear Members: With faith and confidence we, of Lodge Hvezda Texasu No. 47 congratulate you, Brother Nick Morris, as our new editor. May your hours of journalistic work be rewarding to you and also to the fraternal work so nobly started by our forefathers which is still practiced and cherished within our great SPJST Order.

Our regular lodge meeting on December 2 was constructive, serious in nature, and above all, a harmonious one. All of you, members, who take the time and interest to attend our lodge No. 47 meetings realize and know that we are faced with a problem. Upon the solution of this problem may well depend the future well-being and growth of our lodge, and traditions of our Czech community.

Our lodge hall was built some 55 years ago, and when, time and progress required, the members completely mod-. ernized the old structure 25 years ago.

It was a source of pride for every member of our Order and the community as a whole. This all came to be a reality only by planning, sacrifice, hardships, Now after the ravage of time has left its mark, and the inevitable changes that go along and are demanded with progress, we, the present lodge members, are faced with a similar problem.

For the last two years, as president of our lodge, with all the officers and committees we have been planning and working and always striving to keep before the membership the importanee and seriousness of our forthcoming problem. We are grateful for the support received and regret that there are, and will be those who choose to close their eyes, rather than shoulder the wheel, and squarely face the problem of whether we, as a lodge, are progressiVe, dormant, or going backward. To go forward requires togetherness "dobrotri ady," young, middle aged, and old. Fo: those that plan and work on a project like .ours, if that kind of cooperation is lacking, then that is a good indication of the future course that we should take: We have explored every angle, some',;imes in discord, and in conclusion agreed to construct a modern, new The attempt to sell our old ,l'ucture failed for the lack of buyers.

We are faced with a situation of utilizing he old material in the new building.

The plan was that the members be given the opportunity to wreck the old

14 building and through donation of labor the cost would be small, however; due to an impossibility of securing workmen's compensation to cover the laborers, the plan must be abandoned. Our lodge cannot assume the risk involved.

Financially, contracting both jobs demolishing the old and constructing the new — we will realize very little for our old building. The project as it now stands will require a larger loan than anticipated or more than the amount the officers and financial .committee believe we can, with some degree of security, as a lodge assume. Unless we do some reconsidering, we have an alternative, the plan that was passed in our last meeting. By now most of you members have received a letter which states the motion as accepted by the members.

If you feel down in your heart that you want to make a cash donation to the building fund, or want to loan the money, any amount, $25, $50, or $100 on a non-interest bearing note payable "in hardship cases on demand" or after the SPJST loan is paid, then forward your pledge of the amount and how desired, to Mrs. Ella Haisler, Secretary, Route No.. 4, Temple, Texas. We realize that there are those who cannot contribute in any financial way but there still is your moral support, which in itself, is a great help.

Some may ridicule the plan as presented for financing the new building, however; they fail to realize and take time to consider what this really means.

The lodge hall from the beginning was financed this way and the modernizing likewise was financed on a similar plan.

All fraternal organizations or clubs are striving, either partially or wholly to be financed in a similar manner.

The officers and finance committee feel that for a venture of this size, it requires a solid, earnest backing from the young as well as the older . members.

This is truly showing your desire for a new building and for progress. In plain words this is a good indication of the icooperaltion and fraternal good will that can be expected by the present and the future offficers of our lodge who will be carrying the burden and responsibility of making this venture financially successful.

We have until our February meeting to consider and decide 'what we want to do.

If we can subscribe a substantial amount of the estimated $32,000 cost which is approved for a loan with liberal terms, gain your interest, fraternal support and good will, then we can proceed with our plans and start construct-

VESTNtK — WEST, TEXAS ing our new home — a new hall of which we all can be proud.

Fraternally submitted, F. E. Hejl Jr. tTO ALL MEMBERS IN DISTRICT SEVEN Sisters and Brothers: Christmas is the occasion when our thoughts turn from the material things of life to ones of warm esteem and manifestations of good will toward one another. Christmas is also a time for acknowledging with gratitude, the loyalty of friends, and for expressing appreciation and good wishes.

As Pistrict Youth Director I realize that, were it not for the excellent cooperation and willing efforts of our Youth Leaders, Lodge Officers, Organizers, Youth, and their parents, and all members, I would not have been privileged to enjoy much of the mutual success that has been ours this year.

As an expression, therefore, of my friendship and genuine appreciation for your friendly support, hearty cooperation, many courtesies, sincerity of purpose and diligent work, I extend to you icy best wishes for a most joyous Christmas and a happy and successful New Year, Fraternally, Marcella M.

VESTNiX— WEST, TEXAS our lodge have received a letter explaining our plan so I will not discuss it in my letter. Come to the February meeting and find out what is going on School was dismissed Friday for the Christmas holidays. Most of us are looking forward to the holidays. After the New Year's Day, we will all come back fresh as new. Maybe some will forget what they learned and some will gain or catch up on their neglected work, such as coloring maps, working in their workbooks, etc. Anyway, I hope that all the school children will enjoy their Christmas vacation. Ho pe the weather stays pretty during our vacation.

We are wishing our new editor much success and happiness in his new position. Maybe the work will be more interesting than teaching school. Much luck to you.

Fraternally, Clara Hejl, Reporter, Lodge No. 47 ) 0( WEST S.P.J.S.T. LODGE NO. 54 Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our Christmas Party was held last Saturday night. We all were glad to see such a large attendance.

The program began with various songs, sketches and poems given by our Youth Club. It was indeed nice to watch these young children perform their parts so well. Katheryne Holy and John Kaluza played several numbers on their accordions. The audience enjoyed their singing and playing so much that they were asked to play another Czech number, which they did. The next number was from our neighboring Cottonwood Lodge. Several of the ladies were dressed in Czech costumes and the men wore red bow ties. They sang several Christmas carols in Czech and in English, accompanied by Victor Pavlas on his accordion. This was very nice and colorful for the Season of Christmas.

LODGE NO. 47, SEATON, TEXAS Dear Friends: It is too late to wish you a Merry Christmas, but I wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

We had our Lodge No. 47 Christmas program last Sunday, December 16 at the hall. We enjoyed having all of you and wish to thank the good sisters for the good food you brought. I want to thank the parents and children who were in the program. You were wonderful, all of you.

Fraternally, Mrs. Bennie Soukup, Reporter 10( ELK LODGE NOME, KVETY NO. 35 Dear Members, I'm sure everyone is busy with the last-minute Christmas rush as much as I am. But all in all we wouldn't have it any other way.

Brother Edwin and Sister Helen Holub and Brother Antone and myself went to Cottonwood Lodge's Christmas supper and party. We really did enjoy it even though we arrived late, but the good sisters filled our plates with the most delicious turkey and all the trimmings.

The youth: program followed with Sister Ruth Krizan in charge and also the emcee for the evening. The children recited so nicely and so many cf them were children of the mothers and fathers that I went to school with. Was wonderful to spend the evening with our old friends at Cottonwood and they were so glad that we came. It was so nice to have them visit with all of us at the annual Christmas supper and party. The singers performed so nicely and I would like to say "thanks" again to our Youth Club members that participated at our Christmas program. Thanks to the singers, also. All the folks enjoyed seeing cur good "ole" Santa Claus. He was slightly detained, but his bag was filled to capacity for all of those good little boys and girls.

This writer would like to make a retraction pertaining to motion made at our last meeting that was in last week's Vestnik. It was stated that Brother Zalman asked that a motion be made that we vote by sign of hands. That was incorrect as Brother Zalman stated that since election of officers was to be held, he asked that a motion be made on how the election would be conducted — by the raising of hands or by secaet ballot. A motion was then made tinat we vote by sign of hands. It was seconded, A Christmas Party will be held on Friday night, December 28th for the Elk Youth Club at our Lodge Hall and if the weather is extremely bad it will be held at my home at 7:30 p.m. So, all of you young sprouts come on out and we'll. guarantee you a good time. Bring your mothers and fatners, too.

16 Here's wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Drive Carefully during the holidays.

Fraternally yours, Norma Pavelka, Reporter and Youth Club Leader ) 0( LODGE NO. 166, BEAUMONT Dear Members and Friends: Once again Christmas approaches us with lots of joy and merriment the world over. Cheers and gifts will be sent to our loved ones and friends. There will be parties and dancing. The delicious whiff of home-baked cookies, cakes, pies, and the traditOnal turkey and dressing, will confront us as we approach the various houses of friends and neighbors.

Christmas is the season of happiness, generosity and kindness. It is the season where we let bygones be bygones, sing out greetings to all. and smile every clay. It is the season when our spirits soar to the brim, carols are sung by everyone, and we get out our best attire.

But through the gaiety that Christmas brings, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Let us not forget where we got the word Christmas and the traditon of gift-giving. Let's look back over that night so many, many years ago when the Three Wise Men followed the light that was to bring them to the Redeemer of the world. They rejoiced at the birth of a Savior and brought gifts to Him. In this year of 1962 we cannot be so fortunate as these Three Wise Men. We cannot see Christ in His person, however, we can celebrate His coming; we can give Him a gift. We can thank Him for His goodness and kindness, and most of all, we can thank Him for coming to redeem the world. During these last few days before Christmas, we can make a special effort to think of Him every day as often as we can.

We can offer a special prayer to Him every time we think of Him. We can visit with Him in the church of our choice, often, even if just for a few minutes. But th.e one gift that 'we should all give His is our presence in church as we re-live that day on December 25 so many, many years ago when His blessed mother Mary gave birth to Him. We should all re-live that day in our minds and in our hearts, and we should forget the merriment, parties, and giftgiving. We should pay tribute to our Savior and our Redeemer and thank Him for giving us peace and faith and a hope for eternal happiness with Him

1.7 ESTN K— WEST, TEXAS in 'heaven. This can be our gift to Christ — the most important gift we shall ever give.

I sincerely hope that each of you has a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Remember to be especially careful, because we will all be exposed to unusual dangers on the highways.

You know, one thing that always seems to help to make everyone have a better Christmas is this thought: no matter how bad things seem to go for us sometimes; no matter how poor we seem to be; no matter how bad we feel; no matter how ill we may be — we can always find so many, many more things to be tbankful for.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Fraternally yours, Sandra Watson A SOKOL SPEAKS Why, I regard My Sokol Membership In Highest Esteem Peering through the hour-glass of time and reaching my 50th year this December, 1962, I have observed and discovered, to a degree, that many of the all-important things in life that we possess, see and hear, particularly in our younger days, diminish and become relatively insignificant. Yet some values emerge to sustain and retain their dimension, and still others grow in stature, reaching their ultimate. Significantly, the one which I wish to relate that has attained greatest progression by my standards, is membership in the Sokol organization.

Wednesday, December 26, 1902 supreme forms of vital vigor. Once it fills the heart of man it has to overflow and spend itself. That is why Sokol is great; that is why Sokol is an ideal.

So as I pass the half-century mark, if I may respectfully suggest — let us work diligently together to become a more effective, profound and intensive force for the progress of our country and of the dignity of mankind.

Resolution Committee Val Nemec, Alfred A. Ondrej, Steve L. Svetlik. ) 0( SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION Many persons age 65 or over have money waiting for them if they will claim it. According to a Social Security official thousands of older people who are eligible for at least some social security payments, and the money is waiting to be paid when they make proper application at their local social security office.

Some older people may not have heard of the changes in the law permitting social security beneficiaries to earn more and still collect some benefits. They may still be under the mistaken impression that if you earn more than $1,200, you cannot collect any social security benefits.

Under the law as it now stands, a social security beneficiary collects all his benefits if his earnings for the year are $1,200 or less. For earnings over $1,200 and up to $1,700, a beneficiary may have $1 in benefits withheld for each $2 earned. For each $1 earned over $1,700, a person may have $1 withheld. As an example, if a person earns $2,000 in a year he may have $550 of his benefits withheld.

But there is an important exceptioh, one of especial interest to an older person who does not work year 'round, regardless of .how much a beneficiary earns

Wednesday, December 26, 1962 in a year, he may be paid a full monthly benefit for any month in which he does not earn more than $100 in wages and does not work actively in self-employment.

To further illustrate why a working person age 65 or over should file for social security benefits, let's consider a man, with his wife, also 65, whose yearly earnings have been $3,000. Even if he continues to work and to earn $3,000 each year after applying for social security benefits, he and his wife would receive at least $130 of his social security benefits.

If you are 65 or over and have not gotten in touch with a social security office about your eligibility to social security benefits, be sure to do so now, or you may lose some benefits.

--------) O ( MORE STAINS DURING HOLIDAYS The holiday season usually brings with it an assortment of badly - stained clothes, and compounds the problems of nomemakers regarding stain removal, Cidar, candy, crepe paper, and costumes are the usual staining culprits.

Immediate dry cleaning first aid should be given to garments that have been stained by cider, soft drinks or candy. This is especially imperative if the stained fabric is silk or wood.

Stains containing certain sugars can cause what the dry cleaners call a "caramelized sugar stain." A little time and heat can make this type of stain permanent.

However, if the stained garment is cotton and the dye will not bleed. laundering will remove the stain.

Beware of crepe paper during the holiday season, since it often contains a dye which runs when wet, and can actually re-dye your . clothing. Only fabrics which may be laundered and bleached can be salvaged.

For wax stains, a little scraping and a commercial spot remover will get rid of the wax stain. Be careful not to damage* the fabric. )0( In the ancient la:hd G t China, where nuts and watermelon seeds are delicacies, New Year revelry used to equal our Fotirth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas all rolled into one.

(Garlic seasoning may also be added to this stuffing, if desired). ) 0( CLEAN HANDS Our courts work with two set of prinOur courts work with two set of principles in meting out justice — those of "law" and those of "equity."

Under "law" a court declares the parties' rights and duties and sets money damages for harm already done — as when someone goes back on his contract with you, or injures you in an automobile crash.

But under principles of "honesty, equity, and conscience," for example, a court seeing harm on the way, may forestall it and enforce its orders by fines or jail terms.

England used to have two kinds of

courts to hear cases under law and equity. But today both England and America use the same judge to hear both kinds of cases.

How did these two systems arise?

Long ago the English king called upon the "chancery" — then largely made up of churchmen, (the keepers "of the King's conscience"), to give "relief" where the older Common Law courts, grcwn rigid, might fail.

Unable to use the Common Law, the chancellors applied certain rules and maxims, sometimes borrowed from anecient Greece and Rome — "He who comes into equity must come with clean hands." Sometimes this is stated. "No one can take advantage in a court of equity of his own wrongdoing."

This maxim denied a suitor "relief" if he himself has done wrong in the transactioin at issue.

A scale maker had advertised that his scales would count fractions of a cent against the customer and in favor of the storekeeper.

He had asked a court in equity to stop a competitor from revealing that his scale was cheating customers. But the court threw the case out: Not having "clean hands," the scale maker had no standing in equity. He could not seek fair treatment when he himself was dishonest in the particular situation at issue.

(This newsfeature, prepared by the State Bar of Texas, is written to inform — not to advise. No person should ever apply cr interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully advised concerning the facts involved, because a slight variance in facts may change the application of the law.) )O( QUACKERY'S TARGET Among, the many victims of unscrupulous promoters who prey on the sick of the nation, arthritis suffers are the most numerous — and the most exploited.

This was proven in a recent nationwide survey sponsored by the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation which showed that more than 5,000,000 arthritis victims are wasting $252,000,000 a year on fraudulent "cures" and misrepresented remedies.

Several factors make the climate a favorable one in which schemes of quacks and health cheats thrive. As yet, science knows no true cure for arthritis. Treatments, although often greatly helpful to the majority of arthritis sufferers, can be long and arduoy.

Meantime, the intense pain of the clipease makes desperate sufferers an easy

10 mark for promises of "cures," and to promise of "quick, long-lasting relief."

Further complicating the problem is the fact that a high number of arthritis victims experience what is called "spontaneous remission," in which the painful symptoms of the disease can disappear. If the sufferer happens to be using a quack medication at the time, he may endorse the "cure" or product which he has just taken. Then a new rush is on for the nostrum.

An amazing array of drugs and devices have been purchased by desperate sufferers who had hoped to receive relief or "cure" for their diseasie. Copper bracelets, which supposedly set up curative currents to ease pain, pads of uranium ore, harnesses to stretch the llinbs and joints, and pseudo-scientific electrical gadgets are to be found in this gallery of phony treatments.

Other promotions are even more farfetched, such as the recently-revived fad for using bee venom in treating arthritis. This theory was disproven by medical science long ago.

Even simple sea salts have been offered as helpful to arthritis victims who are urged to partake of what is called the "smorgasbord of the sea" by one promoter. Such a diet is not only useless, but may be harmful to certain patients.

Then there are the vibrators, high on the list of arthritis products purchased by hopeful sufferers. Unsupervised use of such devices by patients has resulted in severe damage in some cases of arthritis.

Perhaps the most insidious of all the lures are the so-called glorified products. Wily promoters have used every medium to vend these over-priced pain killers, most of which: have, aspirin — a simple, cheap, and beneficial pain-reliever — as the basic ingredient.

While the advertising of such products is limited under law to claims of "temporary relief for minor pains" of arthritis and rheumatism, cleverly-worded inducements convince arthritis victims by the thousands to spend money on them.

But the millions of dollars arthritis sufferers spend yearly on misrepresented medications and outright frauds is only part of the problem. The greatest harm lies in postponement of a doctor's care, which, in contrast to self-medication, has much more to offer. Arthritis specialists estimate that crippling can be prevented and pain relieved in seven out of 10 cases through proper medical care and supervised therapy An informed public, aware of the dangers of arthritis quackery, as well as

Toe warming trend followed last week's freezing weather — the coldest in 7 years — a bit too closely to suit the economy of the citrus growers. But the vegetable farmers found it a welcome sight.

The mercury climbed into the mid60s in northern Florida, into the low 70s in the citrus-rich midriff country, and into the middle and high 70s in South Florida.

Warren 0. Johnson, meteorologist at the Federal-State Frost Warning Service in Lakeland, said the warmer weather "is making it nice for truck farmers for replanting."

"We need to get this soil reheated to cause germination," he said.

But in the citrus groves, where an estimated 17,000 migrant workers were attempting to pick out fruit damaged by last week's freeze before it could go bad, the warm weather had a poor effect.

"Sunday we had temperatures generally in the 60s in the heaviest producing citrus area," Johnson said, "and with the cloud sheet and cold weather we have had during the nighttime, it prevented rapid deterioration of the fruit.

"However, with the temperatures in the 70s, with mostly clear skies, and with the sun being permitted to strike the fruit; it raised temperatures in the fruit up to the 80s. This should hasten the deterioration of the fruit that has been damaged."

The effect of a freeze on an orange is to burst open the juice cells. This freezes the juice in the orange.

The juice is all right if it is used in time, but eventually the damaged orange begins to deteriorate. Heat hastens this.

Most of the fruit being picked in the salvage attempt is going into the frozen orange concentrate processing plants and the canneries. An embargo bans all shipment of fresh fruit out of the state.

Wednesday, December 26, 1962 Many fresh fruit packing houses had shut down even before the embargo began Monday night.

At those which continued to work right up until embargo time, a litter of orange and tangerine hulls ringed state inspectors.

"It's a mess," said Elias Hay, one of the inspectors.

FLORIDA FREEZE HELPS TEXAS VALLEY The Florida freeze may turn up financial benefits for Texas citrus growers next season if the Rio Grande Valley avoicle a bitter winter.

H. J. Tanner of Edinburg Citrus Association said Monday that with a normal Winter, trees damaged in last winter's killer storm will grow , new limbs and bear a good crop.

Citeus shipper Charles A. Rogers of Donna said most of the fruit harvested this ear was picked and shipped before the Florida freeze.

"Tr: e Florida freeze certainly would have had a good effect on our citrus — if we had any," Rogers said. He said last winter's hard freeze cut Texas' crop to less than a quarter of a million boxes.

"Our short crop is already about 95 per cent harvested and has moved almost entirely in Christmas gift channels," Rogers said.

The fruit picked and shipped before the Florida freeze sold at premium prices, he said. Those growers with any fruit remaining to be harvested are reportedly being offered more than $100 a ten.

Some Valley sheds have handled fruit grown in Mexico this season to keep in the market. One shipper said prices on e Mexican fruit are expected to rise slightly because of the Florida freeze.

The Florida freeze has strengthened sharply the market for Mexican tomatoes imported through Laredo. Mexican white anions have been particularly in demand. )O( FRUITS & VEGETABLE PRICES RISE Effects of the Florida freeze are likely to be felt soon by housewives in the form of higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Arnold E. Chase, price studies director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said officials of the Labor and Agriculture Departments are watching closely the freeze damage estimates on Florida crops to determine their effect on the nation's living costs.

A freeze of such proportions usually is felt...rather quickly at the retail level.

VgST N f K— WEST, TEXAS New living cost figures due this week will size up the price situation in November. A new reading last week measured mid-December prices but was too early to reflect the impact of freeze conditions on produce prices. So it probably won't be until the January living cost figures are announced in late February that the toll on living costs — probably sending them up to another record — becomes known.

Chase pointed out that a big freeze in 1958, one that hit crops in both Florida and Texas, sent over-all food costs up more than 3 per cent and jumped the fruits-vegetables index up more than 12 per cent. Texas was spared the latest, freeze.

A major fear of government officials is that many fruit trees in Florida may have been permanently damaged. ) ( TEXAS FOOD MARKET Wholesale prices on a number of fresh fruits and vegetables reacted sharply to last week's severe Florida freeze, according to fruit and vegetable market news officers of the Agricultural Marketing Service.

As a result of the freeze, oranges, grapefruit and cabbage have been removed from AMS's list of January plentiful foods, even though exact extent of damage as not been determined.

Prices were noticeably higher at most Texas wholesale markets on beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, radishes, squash, tomatoes, grapefruit, oranges, tangelos and tangerines. Heavy shipments of these items have been coming from Florida. Also higher are cabbage and celery.

Avocado and iceberg lettuce prices took a downward turn.

Fruits claiming best-buy honors this week, on the basis of supply and price, are apples, especially Red Romes and Jonathans; bananas; plentiful cranberries; and grapes, especially Emporers.

Vegetable best buys indicate carrots, green and green onions, lettuce, onions (especially yellow), potatoes, sweet potatoes and turnips.

Christmas supplies of peanuts and most tree nuts are ample, although pecan prices are higher. Cumquats are available in small volume, as are honeydews, cantaloupes, casabas and other fancy melons.

Demand for turkeys was neavy at Thanksgiving time but they're plentiful and low-priced fer Christmas dinner, too. Broiler-fryers continue available at extremely low prices. Maine sardines are plentiful.

21 EXIT THE BOLL WEEVIL The scientific discovery responsible for the eradication of the costly screwworm may be applied to the equally expensive cotton boll weevil.

U. S. Department of Agricull ure scientists report the male-sterile technique has worked, in a small-scale isolated field test in Louisiana, on boll weevils.

Atomic energy, which is used to steri!ize male screwworm flies, isn't being used on the weevils, but the malesterile technique is — this time with a chemical sterilant.

The USDA reports the chemical Apholate sterilized the male boll wee ail without hampering his breeding ability. The male mates with. a native female and she lays eggs that never hatch — same thing that happens in the screwworm, eradication program.

The research was conducted in Plaquemines Parish, La. Some of the basic research. leading to the field scale test was done in Texas, at College Station and Kerrville.

Many chemo-sterilants used in human cancer research are being tested in the male-sterile insect tests.

USDA reports the technique may eventually lead to measures for endicating ' the most destructive of all cotton insect pests. The boll weevil emerges from hibernation in the spring and punctures young squares on cotton. ) 0 (-TEXAS "FARMERS OF THE YEAR" Birmingham, Ala. — Five men — not one, as is usually the case — have been named Men of the Year in Service to Texas Agriculture by The Progressive Farmer. Announcement is made by Charlie Scruggs, editor, in the magazine's January issue.

For their leadership that resulted in the Southwest Screwworm Eradication Program the magazine has honored T. A. Kincaid, Ozona, rancher; Harold Nelson, New Braunfels, dairyman and executive secretary of Texas Milk Producers Federation; Dolph Briscoe Jr., Uvalde, rancher; Marvin J. Bridges, Buffalo, pork producer; and C. H. DeVaney, Coahoma, farmer and vice-president of Texas Farm Bureau.

These trustees of the Southwest Animal Health Research Foundation, beginning in tbe fall of 1961, met and traveled almost constantly. Here are the results of their activities: 1. County animal health committees organized in 350 Southwest counties in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Louisiana and collection of more than $2 million on a voluntary basis.

22 2. Completion of a new screwworm fly raising facility employing 400 people; capacity of the facility is 80 million sterile flies per week.

"From this action," states The Progressive Farmer, "has come the fastest spreading, most widely supported, and potentially beneficial voluntary program that has been seen in the livestock business in the Southwest and possibly in the United States." ) 0( SCIENCE AND WHALE HUNTING INFORMATION Captain Ahab would roll over in his watery grave if he knew what was going on today at the University of Washington computer center.

There, in an electronic Saragasso Sea, scientists of the International Whaling Commission are feeding into a machine facts and figures gathered during the last 31 years by expeditions to the antarctic, the only major whaling grounds left in all the seven seas.

The data will be used to determine catch limits, hunting seasons and methods of conserving the last large specimens of these mammoth marine mammals.

It's a far cry from the days of Moby Dick. Gone are the Nantucket sleighrides. Gone are the cries of "Thar she blows! Thar she breaches;" and "Dead whale or stove boat." Gone are the Queequegs, the Tashtegos, the Starbucks .. .

Since then science has replaced the masthead lookouts' eyes with radar and harpooners' skill and muscles with powerful, accurate guns. And the knowledge, experience and instinct that the successful whaler had to have in Ahab's day has been supplanted by an electronic brain.

The man who runs this computer is Dr. Douglas G. Chapman, a 42-year-old biomathematician who became an international authority on the use of statistical methods for solving biological problems when he conducted similar work on fur seals. This is his first whaling adventure.

Several monts ago, Chapman began processing more than 100,000 punch cards containing almost everything man knows about antarctic whales — reproduction rates, the number of species, the size of catches, where the whales were caught, their yield of oil, their size and other factors.

The commission, representing the seven countries that hunt whales in the frigid southern waters, hopes to come to some concrete conclusions, especially

IrtSTNtK J - WEST, TEXAS how best to establish a sustained yield program for whales, by the time its meeting adjourns.

The United States and Canada are not members of the commission because they do not have whale hunters in the antarctic. But they are represented by observers at the meeting because they are interested in conserving whales.

Represented on the commission are Norway, Russia, Bi4itain, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.

One of the major problems facing these slide-rule whalemen is the decreasing population of the blue whale, the most valuable of the three species still found in the antarctic. These 80ton leviathans 30 years ago comprised the bulk of the catch in those waters, but last year only 1,000 blues were among a total catch of 30;000 whales. The others were the smaller fin and humpback whales. Sperm whales, like Moby Dick, are almost extinct. )O( It's been a great year for public health.

The waning year will go into history as the one when Texas' population passed 10 million. That mark was reached July 27, and has grown by about 400 each day since.

More than 245,000 live births will have been registered before the year finally ends, compared with 78,000 deaths. That is a healthy 3 to 1 ration, and indicates a natural population increase of 167,000.

Local health department coverage was extended into four new counties during 1962. Three of every four Texans now live in the protective environments of such units.

Other health events were equally significant. There was an ominous rise in polio cases in the spring and summer, but it was quickly checked after more than six million Texans of all ages swallowed vaccine-impregnated sugar cubes and thus received the long-lasting protection the vaccine confers.

State Health Department engineers entered contractural agreements with 25 cities for comprehensive city planning. Included are studies of land use, thoroughfares, community facilities, subdivision regulations, zoning — all designed to guide cities in their orderly growth over two or more decades.

To encourage improvements in collection and disposal of city wastes, representatives of 110 cities were taught landfill techniques and equipment usage.

And 1962 was the year which brought to Texas full authority to license and supervise the use of radioisotopes with-

Almost 70,000 indigent youngsters were examined in "well-child" conferences around the state, and 10,000 patients were seen in cancer detection centers.

Twenty - five hospital construction projects were authorized where needed.

0( EDUCATING EXPECTANT MOTHERS SIMILAR TO TRAINING ATHLETES Educating an expectant mother for childbirth is comparable to training an athlete for a football game. Just as the athlete must learn the basic fundamentals of the sport, and develop confidence in himself and his coach, the expectaau mother must learn the basic physiologic factors of pregnancy and develop confidence in herself, her body, and her obstetrician. Obstetricians should encourage patients with the same philosophy used by the football coach: discomfort and bruises are part of the game, but the rewards are well worth the transit pains and discomfort.

Dr. Charles E. Fowlers, Jr., of the obstetrics and gynecology department in the school of medicine at the University of North Carolina, explained the analogy in an article in the December issue of the "Texas State Journal of Medicine." He spoke on this subject at the Symposium on Cerebral Palsy, held during the. Texas Medical Association's most recent Annual Session.

To educate the expectant mother, Dr. Flowers suggests a series of parents' classes divided into five sessions: (1) physiology of childbirth. (2) educational iilms, (3) nutrition and physical therapy, (4) preview of hospital experiences, and (5) discussion of breast feeding.

He feels that evening classes are ideal because expectant fathers may then attend with their wives. These classes al-

Wednesday, December 26, 1962 low greater patient participation in labor and delivery which can reduce the incidence of prolonged labors, difficult forceps deliveries, and deep obstetric anesthesia.

The session on physiology of childbirth should include discussions on exercises, autohypnosis, stages of labor (latent and acceleration), and differences between types of pain relief. Dr. Flowers empha.ksizes that exercise, relaxation, and autohypnosis are valuable to all patients, whether they desire to be awake at delivery or not. He states that "no patient should be led to believe that only by avoiding all drugs can a baby be born safely and normally," and that when drugs can be properly administered, "there is no psychologic (or medical) advantage to either mother or child for labor and delivery to be managed without drugs." Fear is one of the main obstacles to be overcome, according to Dr. Flowers, because it stops the uterine contractions and can thus prolong labor.

Autohypnosis allows the patient to develop control over her mind and muscular actions during labor by consciously relaxing her body, breathing deeply, and concentrating intensely on some familiar and pleasant scene. Because it involves the patient only, it is more practical than actual hypnosis.

Body discipline is further aided by prenatal exercises taught by physical therapists. "The patient who practices bodily discipline and muscle coordination will have a much more satisfactory labor," writes Dr. Flowers.

The obstetrician also feels that women need to be more thoroughly educated in the safe types of pain relief available for use in labor, and if there are no obstetric complications, he advocates letting the patient select her own method of pain relief.

Five such methods are discussed in his article.

Labor without any drugs, sometimes called natural childbirth, may be very satisfactory when the expectant mother has conscientiously practiced exercises and autohypnosis.

Continuous conduction analgesia is a highly specialized method of pain relief which involves blocking nerve impulses to the brain or the spine. The conduction block, however, should not be started until labor is well-established.

Mothers who have an "intellectual approach to abstrics and a desire to participate as completely as possible in the labor process," often choose a third method of pain relief described by Dr. Flowers. This involves analgesia, or use

VESTNf X— WEST, TEXAS of drugs which reduce pain but do not affect memory, and delivery under a pudendal block, which blocks nerve impulses from the genital area, or a spinal block, which blocks nerve impulses from a more extensive area, including the pelvic region.

A fourth method involves pain-relieving drugs with amnesia, and a minimum amount of anesthesia at the end ,of labor.

The fifth method he discusses is used when the patient prefers to be asleep during most of her labor and at the time of delivery. This involves amnesia, or complete forgetting of the experlence, with terminal anesthesia. ( TEXAS FISHING RIGHTS The House General Investigating Committee will seek legal opinions on the public's right to fish in various lakes and jurisdiction of justice courts in game and fish law violations.

The committee decided to seek the opinion after a closed meeting with several witnesses.

At the hearing, a former legislator, Maco Stewart of Galveston, said he asked the committee to require officials of the State Game and Fish Commission to take lie detector tests concerning oyster fishing in Texas bays.

Stewart said he believed favoritism is being shown to Louisiana fishermen taking oysters from Texas waters.

Commission Executive Secretary Howard Dodgen, called before the committee, said he would be willing to take any lie detector test.

"Court opinions held long ago that fishermen from Louisiana or any other state have the same rights as anyone else," Dodgen said.

The committee took the oyster-fishing complaints under consideration.

Committee Chuirman Bill Hollowell of Grand Saline said an attorney general's opinion is needed on the meaning of two decisions by the Court of Criminal Appeals on the jurisdiction of justice of the peace courts in game and fish violations.

By Jimmy Banks Austin — Texas' population will climb to 11,800,000 by 1970 and to nearly 16 million by 1985, the Texas Research League reported Thursday.

The 1960 population was 9,650,000.

The league's study, based on a study of population trends in Texas, was designed to outline the effects of future population growth upon state and local governments. It emphasized that these differ significantly from those in other states.

Forecasts contained in the report included: . The 29 counties embracing the 21 metropolitan centers of the state will gain about 2,180,000 in this decade, while the other 225 counties will sustain a net loss of 25,000 persons.

24 College-age youth in Texas will increase 53.4 per cent between 1960 and 1970, compared with a 5.4 per cent increase between 1950 and 1960.

The proportion of the population in rural areas consisting of people who are economically dependent upon others will continue to grow.

"This may have important implications with regard to local taxes, state aid, welfare payments, health services and Other subsidies," the legislature's report said.

It noted that the big cities in Texas developed during the era of the automobile while most larger cities in other states had their growth during the era of immigration from foreign countries.

"Texas cities were laid out with streets, thoroughfares and peripheral 'highways that are the envy of other large cities," said the report. "Consequently, 72 out of 100 workers in Dallas or Houston ride to work in automobiles while only 39 of 100 do so in Philadelphia, 46 in Pittsburgh, 52 in Baltimore and 64 out of 100 in Detroit, the automobile capital of the world."

Texas cities' growth with the popularity of the automobile, plus broader powers of annexation than those of cities in other states have made Texas municipal government problems unique, according to the report.

It explained that the large city in Texas has been able by means of annexation to keep the suburban family within its boundaries, while in other states the suburbanite has escaped into separately incorporated communities surrounding the central city.

The report said that recent development of Texas cities means that public facilities such as buildings, utility lines and streets are newer, more efficient and less costly to maintain than those in other states.

"The demand for education services reflects the fact that there wer 44,000 more children enrolled in public schools in Dallas in 1960 than in Boston, even though the two cities have almost the same population," the legue said.

"Among those 25 years or older, 39,000 were college graduates in Dallas, compared with 32,000 in Boston. Dallas also had 72 per cent more automobiles than Boston, reflecting differences in the demands for streets and highways.

"The need for welfare services also varies. Boston led in the number of unemployed, in the per cent of children 14 to 17 years old not in school, and led in the number of persons once married

V t, STNt — WEST, TEXAS but now separated, divorced or widowed.

"Boston has 86,000 persons over 65 years of age compared with 47,000 in Dallas. Boston has had to extend services into only four square miles of annexed area in the last 40 years, while the area of Dallas has grown twelve-fold in the same period."

All of these facts suggest striking differences in the governmental problems of the two cities, the league noted.

Observing that Texans tend to live and work in the same city, the report said that "in other states the separate suburban communities say they have to educate the commuter's children but receive none of the property tax revenue from the office or factory where the commuter works. The large central cities in those states complain that they must provide governmental services for large numbers of commuting workers, but receive none of the property tax 'revenue that these workers pay on their homes."

One of the major reasons some of those cities have enacted sales or payroil taxes has been to reach the commuting population, the report said.

"In St. Louis, the 1960 census shows that the number of people working in the city (daytime population) exceeds the number living in the city (nighttime population) by 137,000," said the report. "In Dallas, the daytime population exceeds the nighttime population by 36,000. In San Antonio, more people live in the city than work there."

■—) 0 BATS AND RABIES Rabies infection from bats can be ac complished without bites from the lit tle beasts.

A U. S. Public Health Service study (reported on in Medical World News magazine) has shown that of some 600 cases of bat rabies, bites were implicated in only 250 cases.

Suspicion of such occurrences came when two experienced bat cave workers showed symptoms of rabies — of which they later died — but insisted they had not been bitten.

Later the USPHS placed skunks, coyotes, foxes, dogs and cats in screened "bat-proof" cages in bat-infested Frio Cave in Texas. A month later the animals were removed and' carefully observed.

Rabies symptoms showed up in the foxes and coyotes with the other animals being unaffected.

The USPHS' Dr. Ernest S. Tierkel says that many bat caves contain a highly

"Something in the atmosphere, perhaps traceable to bat guano or urine, carries the virus to a susceptible host." ) 0( FOUR BILLION IN ASIA

BY YEAR 2000 Asia's population is increasing so rapidly that by the year 200 it will have 4 billion persons — a net increase larger than the population of the entire earth. in 1950.

This staggering projection was made

by Dr. Irene B. Taeuber, a population expert from Princeton University, in testimony before a House immigration and nationality subcommittee last September.

Excerpts from her testimony were published Sunday by the Population Reference Bureau, a private scientific organization which gathers and interprets population data.

Modern science has reduced the death rate, she said, but has done nothing to reduce the birth rate.

Assuming further decline in death rates and unchanged birth rates, Asia's population of 1.5 billion would be more than 2 billion in 1975 and more than 4 billion in 2000.

"If this should occur," Dr. Taeuber said, "the net addition to the population of Asia below the Soviet boundary in the half century from 1950 to the year 2000 would be larger than the population of the entire earth, including Asia, in 1950."

The United States, she said, received 34 million migrants from Europe from 1820 to 1955. "This number of migrants would represent less than a single year's population growth in Asia," she said.

She pointed out that most people view the prolongation of life with favor.

"But," she testified, "if death rates are to decline to even lower levels in. a finite world, birth rates must also decline. There is no alternative."

She selected five countries — India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Communist China and Japan *— to illustrate what would happen to the population if current death and birth rates continue over the next 15 years. She termed it the• "awful vulnerability."

India's population would increase 41.8 per cent, 177 million, to a total of 600.6 million. Pakistan would go up 52.7 per cent, 50.2 million to 145.6 million. Indonesia would increase 47.2 per cent, 44 million to 137.3 million. Communist China would go up 51.8 per cent, 379.8• million, to 1.1 billion. Industrialized Japan would increase 10 per cent, 9.3 million, to 102.7 million.

The stations work like this: Each is equipped with a small device resembling a vacuum cleaner. It draws great quantities of air through a special glass fiber filter which can be easily removed for analysis.

As air rushes through the filter, tiny particles of atmospheric matter adhere to it. After a specified period of operation, filter contents are analyzed.

By keeping a running record of what is being trapped by the air samplers, it is possible to keep both state and local officials informed go as to give them a clear picture of air pollution as collection points in their area. In this way, conditions can be related to climate, geographic location, population densities, and industrial development.

Sampling stations are also capable of detecting radioactive fallout. "Fallout!" is the name given to particles of matter —dust, earth, building materials, rocks — atomized and made radioactive by nuclear explosions and sucked skyward by updrafts. The particles eventually settle back to earth as "fallout," sometimes after travelling great distances at tremendous heights.

Texas air sampling stations also provide valuable information on background radiation to which the whole earth is constantly subjected. Normal background radiation must be known before increases in radioactivity can be recognized.

But the stations serve primarily as indicators of man-made pollution against which controls will continue to be applied.

They will also be eligible for price-support loans and purchase agreements for the 1963 actual feed grain production. Rates for diversion are somewhat smaller than in previous years, but the decrease will be more than offset for most farmers by the price-support payments, the Committee said. . A major change was listed. To be eligible for payments or price support on any of the three grains included, the fanner must divert the total acreage for which he signs up, the Committee explained.

Farmers may receive part of their acreage diversion payments at the time they sign up to participate in the program. The signup period will be early next year, and will be announced later, the Committee said.

Since oats and rye are not included in the program, no payment is provided and no reduction in acreage is required for price support eligibility. As in 1962, the national average supports for these two crops will be 62 cents per bushel for oats and -1.02 for rye.

County ASCS office personnel can supply detailed information on the 1963 feed grain program, the Committee said. ) 0

Asiatic tribes brought the art of cheese-making to Europe, where different localities developed special methods of manufacture. Then, European emigrants to America brought with them their own methods for making cheese, and a liking for the varieties they had known. At first, they made cheese 'by crude home methods.

In 1851, the first commercial Cheddar cheese factory in the United States was built near Rome, N.Y. United States producers now make many of the famous types of cheese that originated in Europe.

The program again will apply to corn, grain sorghum and barley.

Participating farmers will receive

Farmers may take part in the program by reducing the total of their 1963 feed grain acreage (corn, grain sorghum and barley) by at least 20 per cent. The maximum diversion is the higher of 40 per cent of the base acreage or 25 acres, provided this is not more than the base acreage. The acreage of the three crops (1959-60 acreage, as adjusted) will be combined into a single feed grain base for the farm, and the farmer may choose to divert ode or more of the feed grains, with the diversion payment being made at the per-acre rate applicable to the grain or grains diverted.

Farmers who have planted their 1963 barley crop will be able to take part in the 1963 program by reducing their total feed grain acreage by at least 20 per cent.

Price support to participating farmers will be available partly through loans and purchsae agreements and partly through price-support payments. Loans and agreements will reflect a national average of $1.02 per bushel on corn; $1.62 per cwt. on grain sorghum and '79 cents per bushel on barley. In addition. price-support payments will be made on the normal production of the 1963 feed grain acreage at the rate of 18 cents per bushel 'on corn; 29 cents cwt. on grain sorghum and 14 cents per bushel on barley.

The "Scandin". pattern shown above can be color-keyed to the napkins and accessories. Plastolyn table coverings are vinyl coated for ease of cleaning and come in many lovely patterns. Machine-washable, they can be wiped clean right on the table and the napped back protects table surfaces and deadens clatter. They are available in Rose Damask, Royalty scroll, floral embossed figures on white and a typically American green, blue or red gingham check.

They're inexpensive enough so that each homemaker can own e table covering "wardrobe."
