PODFORA LIDSKOST BRATRSTV1

16. LEDNA (JANUARY) 1963

LIDSId Zdrave telo jako celek j est dobrkm prikladem harmonickeho spoleeneho givota osady, v nemg vSechny east pracuji dohromady pro spoleene 'dobro. KaAda east tela ma jednu nebo vice praci k vykonavani a ve vetAine pripadii vykonand prace nemaji 'Zadrie zvla gtni hodnoty pro east, ktera je kona, ale maji cenu pro telo jako celek.

MifZeme povaIovat telo za obrovske mesto, v nem'i miliony bun& a sta tkaniv 2iji spoleene v pomerne prepinenem obvodu, z nichZ katdk zije svkm vlastnim Z"ivotem a vykonava, svoji vlastni praci. VSechna einnost v tomto meste bunek jest vAak astredne rizena a kontralovana v zajmu spoleeneho dobra.

Obyvatele velkeho mesta musi byti veni a potrava musi bkti spravneho druhu. Oetne tovarny jsou pilne zamestnany pripravou potravin, ktere jsou eiste a prospane.

Lidske telo ma pouze jednu soustredenou , dietni kuchyni, v niz potraviny jako chleb, maso a brambory jsou rozdrobovany na male easteeky, ktere mohou slouNti j ako vStivna potrava pro cele Vela. Pro rozdrobovani, eili zaeivani, deje se v Zaludku a strevach a jest provadello spojenou einnosti 'Zaludeenich, strevnich a 21azovkch Wa y za pomoci 21iee.

Velke 'nest° musi mit skladi§te, v potrava, mute bkt uskladnena a odkud miaze bkt doda'vana do maloobchodia a koneene k zakaznikilm podle potreby.

Lidske telo ma rovne2 jedno fistredni skladifte jatra — do neho2 potravni

Tato krev mute lakt povalovana za nosiee, ktery prochazi do vS'ech east tela — stejne j ako nakladni auto nebo vlak jede do vAech easti mesta. Stroj, kterk udituje tento proud v. pohybu jest srdce a toto stale pumpuje kaZde vterin3r ye dne v foci, odpovidaje tak vkly na zvlag tni potteby Vela jako celku. Prato jde rychleji pracujeme-li Woe, aneb pohybujeme-li se rychleji, ponevaft iiste easti tela pottebuji vice vStivy v Demokracie ádá praci vAech a ka'tdeho jednotlivce a nechce, aby plodii prace se dostavalo tern, kteri nepracuji.

Osudy dobreho vojaka Sveika

Ve stifedur, dne 16. ledna 196a "Jel'igmarja," vykx il gl " vejk, "to je dobrjr. A kde se mu to, panu areivevodovi, stalo?"

"Prskli ho v Sarajevu, milostpane, z revolver u, vedi. Jel tam s ton svou aicikneZnou v automobilu."

"Tak se podivejme, pani Mullerova, v automobilu. Jo, takbvej pan si to mute dovolit a ani si nepomysli, jak takova jizda automobilem mule negt'astne skoneit. A v Sarajevu k tomu, to je v Bosne, pani Mullerova. To udelali asi Turci. My holt jsme jim to Bosnu a Hercegovinu nemeli brat. Tak vida, pant Mullerova. On je tedy pan arcivevoda. na pravde boll. Trapil se diouho?"

"Pan arcivevoda byl hned hotovej, milostpane. To vedi, le s revolverem nejsou ZadnY hraeky. Nedavno taky si hral jeden pan u nas v Nuslich s revolverem a postkilel icelou rodinu 1 domovnika, kterej se gel podivat, kdo to tam stiili ve tletim poschodi."

"Nekterej revolver, pant Mullerova, y am neda ranu, kdybyste se zblaznili.

Takovejch systemu je mot. Ale na pana arcivevodu si koupili jiste neco lepgiho a taky bych se chtel vsadit, pant Mullerova, ‘le ten elovek, co mu to udelal, se na to pekne voblik. To vedi, strilet pana arcivevodu, to je mot telka prate. To neni, jako kdyl" pytlak strili hajnyho. Tady jde vo to, jak se k nemu dostat, na takoyYho pana nesmite jit v nejakYch hadrech. To musite jit v cylindra, aby vas nesebral driv policajt."

"Vono prej jich bylo vie, milostpane."

"To se samo sebou rozumi, pant Mulelerova," rekl Svejk, konde masiroyani kolen, "kdybyste chtela zabit pana ;arciveyodu nebo cisafe pana, tak byste se Este' s nekYm poradila. Vie lidi ma vie rozumu. Ten poradi to, ten vono a pak se dEo podari, jako je to v tej DAM. hymne. Hlavni veci je vyeihat na ten moment, az takovej pan jede kolem.

Je g te vie nel ten Ferdinand, jako nedavno povidal jeden pan v hospode, ze prijde eas, ty cisarove budou kapat jeden za druhYm a le jim ani statni navladnictvi nepomfaIe. Pak nemel na ritratu a hostinskY ho musel dat sebrat. A von mu dal facku a stra2nikovi dye. Pak ho odvezli v kogatince, aby se vzpamatoval. JO, pani Mullerova,

Ve stkedu, dne 16. ledna 1963 dnes se dejou veci, To je zas strata pro Rakousko. Kdy2 jsem byl na vojn.e, tak tam jeden infanterista zastkelil hejtmana. Naladoval flintu a Sel do kancelare.

Tam mu kekli, Se tarn nema, co delat, ale on pokad vedl svou, ze musi s panem hejtmanem mluvit. Ten hejtman vySel ven a hned mu napakil kasarnika. Von vzal flintu a bouch ho pkimo do srdce.

Kulka vyletela panu hejtmanovi ze zad a ,jests udelala Skodu v kancelaki. Rozbila flaSku inkoustu a ten polil fikedni akta."

"A co se stalo s tim vojakem?" otazala se pochvili pani Mullerova, kdyS Svejk se oblekal.

"Vobesil se na kSande," kekl Svejk, eiste si tvrdy kiobouk. "A to IcSanda nebyla ani jeho. Tu si vyptijeil od profousa , ze pry mu padaji kalhoty. Mel &kat, az ho zastkeleji? To vedi, pani Mullerova, Se v takovy situaci jde kaSclemu hlava kolem. Profousa za to degradovali a dail mu lest mesicti. Ale von si je nevodsedel. Utek do 8vejear a dneska tarn dela kazatele riaky cirkve. Dneska je mai° poctivcii, pani Mullerova. Ja si pkedstavuju, Se pan arcivevoda Ferdinand take v tom Sarajevu zmejlil v torn elovekovi, co ho stkelil. Videl nejakeho pana a myslil si, to nejakej potadnej elovek, kdyS mne void slavu. A zatim ho ten pan bouch. Dal mu jednu nebo nekolik?"

"Noviny pisou, milostpane, Se pan arcivevoda byl jako keSeto. Vystkilel do neho vSechny patrony."

"To jde nararrine rychle, pani Mullerova, stra gne rychle. Ja bych si na takovou vet koupil brovnink. Vypadd to jako hraeka, ale mriSete s tim za dve minuty postkilet dvacet arcivevodii, hubenejch nebo tlusteich. Aekoliv, mezi nami keeeno, pani Mullerova, do tlustYho pana arcivevody se trefite jistejc neS do hubenYho. Jestli se pamatujou, jak tenkrat v Portugalsku si postkileli toho sy Yho krale. Byl taky takovej tlustet To vite, ze kral nebude piece hubenej. Ja tedy ted' jdu do hospody kalicha', a kdyby nekdo sem pkiSel pro toho ratlika, na kterYho jsem vzal zdlohu ,tak mu keknou, ze ho mam ye svem psinci na venkove, ze jsem mu nedavno kupiroval uSi a Se se ted' pkevaSet nesmi, dokud se mu uSi nezahoji, aby mu nenastydly. Klie daji k domovnici."

V hospode "U kalicha" seal jen jeden host. Byl to civilni straSnik Bretschneider se means snail zavazat s nim vaSnY rozhovor.

"Ty nam to pane v torn Sarajevu vyvedli," se slabou nadeji ozval se Bretschneider.

"V jakem `Sarajevu'?" otazal se Palii'ee, tej nuselskej vinarne? Tam se perou kaZdej den, to \fedi, Nusle."

"V bosenske Sarajevu, pane hostinskY. Zastkelili tam pana arcivevodu Ferdinanda. Co tomu tikate?"

"Ja se do takovYch veci nepletu, s tim at' nine kaZdej polibi p. . .," odpovedel sluSne pan Palivec, zapaluje si clYmku.

"Dneska se do toho michat, to mohlo by kaZdemu elovekovi zlomit vaz. Ja jsem Sivnostnik, kdyS nekd o pkijde a da si pivo, tak mu ho natoeim. Ale nejakk Sarajevo, politika nebo neboitik arcivevoda, to pro nas nic neni, z toho nic nekoukd neS Pankrac."

Bretschneider umlkl a dival se zklamane po puste hospode.

"Tady kdysi visel obraz cisake pana," ozval se °pet po chvili, "prave tam, kde ted' visi zrcadlo."

"Jo, to maji pravclu," odpovedel pan Palivec, "visel tam a s. . . . na nej mouchy, tak j sem ho dal na pridu. To vite, jests by si nekdo mohl dovolit nejakou poznamku a mohly by byt z toho nepkijemnosti. Copak to potkebuju7" "V tom Sarajevu muselo to bYt asi oSklivy, pane hostinskY." Na tuto zaludne pkimou otazku odpovedel pan Palivec neobyeeine opatrne: "V tuhle dobu bYva v Some a Hercegovine stra gny horko. KdyS jsem tam slouSU, tak museli davat naSemu obrlajtmantovi led na hlavu."

"U ktereho pluku jste slouSil, pane hostinskY?" "Na takovou maliekost se nepamatuju, ja jsem se nikde takovou hovadinu nezajimal a nikdy jsem nebyl na to zvedavej," odpovedel pan Palivec, "pkiligna zveclavost Skodi."

Civilni straSnik Bretschneider tivne unilkl a jeho zachmukeny vYraz se zlepsil teprve pkichodem Avejka, ktery, vstoupiv do hospody, poruell si eerne pivo s touto poznamkou: "Ve Vidni dneska taky mail smutek."

Bretschneidrovy oci zasvitily pinou nadeli a kekl struene: "Na KonopiSti je deset eernYch praporri.."

"Ma jich tam bYt dvanact," kekl Svejk, kdyS se napil.

7 "Pros myslite dvanact?" otazal se Bretschneider.

"Aby to Slo do poetu, tuctu, to se da lepSi poeitat a na tucty to vSdycky pkiide lacinejc," odpovedel 8vejk.

Panovalo ticho, ktere pkeruSil sam Svejk povzdechem: "Tak az tam je na pravde boh, dej mu panbth yeenou slavu. Ani se nedoekal, aS bude cisakem. KdyS ja jsem na vojne ,tak jeden general spa dl s kone a zabil se docela klidne. Chteli mu pomoct zas no,• kone, vysadit ho a dive41 se, Se je twine mrtvej. A mel taky avancirovat na feldmarSalka. Stalo se to ph pkehlidce vojska. Tyhle pfehlidky nikdy nevedou k dobryinu. V Sarajeve baky byla nejaka pkehlidka. Jednou se pamatuji, Se nine schazelo ph takove pkehlidce dvacet knoflikt u mundaru a Se me zavkeli za to na etrnact dni do a j ncliku a dva dne jsem leSel jako lazar, svazanej do kozelce.

NaS obrlajtnant Makovec, ten nam vSdy kikal. vy kluci pitomi, 11111S1 bejt, jinak byste lezli jako vopice po stromech, ale vojna z vas wield lidi, vy bibouni pitomi.' A neni to pravda?

Pi edstavte si pak, kekneme na Karlaku, a na kaalYm strome jeden vojak bez discipliny. Z toho jsem vklycky mei nejvetAi strach."

"V tom Sarajevu," navazoval Bretschneider, "to udelali Srbove."

"To se mYlite," odpovedel Svejk, "uMali to Turd, kvuli Bosne a Hercegovine." A Svejk vylohl s ynj nazor na mezinarodni politiku Rakouska na Balkan& Turci to prohrali ve 1912. rote se Srbskein, Bulharskem a fteckem. Chteli, aby jim Rakousko pomohlo, a kdvt se to nestalo, strelili Ferdinanda.

"MaS rad Turky?" obratil se Svejk na hostinskeho Palivce, "maa rad ty pohanskY psy, vid' ze nemaS?" "Host jako host," kekl Palivec, "tkebas Turek. Pro nds Sivnostniky neplati Sadna, politika. Zaplat' si pivo a sed' v hospode a SVall Si, c ochceS. To je moje zasada.

Jestli to tomu naSemu Ferdinandovi udela Srb nebo Turek, katolik nebo mohamedan, anarchista nebo inladoeech, mn6 je to vSechno jedno."

"Dolike, pane hostinskY," ozval se Bretschneider, kterY opet pozbYval nadeje, Se z tech dvou se da nekdo chytit, "ale pkipustite, Se je to velka, strata pro Rakousko."

Misto hostinskeho odpovedelSvejk: ‘Ztrata to je, to se neda unfit. Hrozna strata. Von se Ferdinand neda nahradit nejakYm pitomou. Von mel be j t jenom jeSte tlustejel."

"Jak to myslite?" oSil Bretschneider.

Dear Members: Let me wish each and every member of our lodge and also the members of our great Order the SPJST, a Happy and prosperous New Year with the hope that we may enjoy it in good health.

By now most of you members have been informed by letter from the Finance Committee, or by a letter written by our Lodge No. 47 President Frank E. Hejl Jr., in the December 26 issue of the Vestnik that by February 4 — our next meeting — we are trying to subscribe funds. These subscriptions, from mernbers and friends, made through donations or non-interest notes, are for rebuilding our lodge. Approximately one-third of the total amount is needed.

Then we can proceed with the actual construction of the New Hall. If you feel you want to make a cash donation of any amount to the building fund. Or loan any amount from $25. on up on the non-interest notes, forward your pledge to Mrs. Ella Haisler, Rt. 4, Temple, Texas.

We realize that there are those who cannot contribute financially. But give us your moral support and hearty cooperation and it will be gratefully appreciated.

Being the Building Committee Financial Secretary it is my duty to make this report of those who made pledges toward the building fund, up to the date of January 6.

Before I conclude this letter I must apologize to the members of the Dramatic Club Hlahol for failing to include the club as one of the hardworking projects of Lodge No. 88, in one of my previous letters.

It is easy to make an error like that and I hope the Directors, Mr. Milos Karel and Mr. Johnny Sula will forgive me.

Col. Homer Garrison Jr., director of the Department of Public Safety, reminded that April 15 is the deadline for vehicles to have their safety inspections.

Vehicles not bearing inspection stickers after April 15 will be operating in violation of the law and operators of them will be subject to arrest.

With about one-half of the inspection period already gone, Garrison said only about one-fourth of the vehicles in the state have been inspected. )O( Comets were recorded as early as 700 B. C. Automic elevators have replaced 40,000 operators in New York City in the last 15 years.

We hope all these fine Brothers and Sisters will be willing and happy in their line of duty as a fraternal Brotherhood and Sisterhood. We wish them lots of luck and success in the coming year.

After the meeting adjourned the Youth Club held their meeting. After that a very delicious lunch was served to all. Following was entertainment for all. Playing dominoes and taroky for the adults; colorin,g, puzzles and various other games for the youth. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the evening and the meetings, and were glad they came.

Also our New Year's Eve Dance was a great success. We can almost say that we had two shifts, one until 1:30 a.m. and one until 4:30 a.m. and we appreciated the Victor Pa ylas Band playing for us 'till such a wee hour. Everyone who attended the ,dance reported a enjoyable time, and were amazed to see such a bunch of jolly people at Cottonwood's Little Lodge Hall, as some call it. It was a colorful scene with everyone wearing a colorful hat, blowing horns and throwing confetti.

We were glad to have so many people From out-of-town with us. We hope they will come again soon.

At this time we also wish to say "Thanks a Lot" to Mr. Henry Snapka and his family band from Dallas, for playing for us during the intermission.

We all enjoyed his music and we hope they can play for us sometime again.

Our next meeting is February 3, same time — 3 p.m. lunch as usual. We hope to see more of you as there will be some more discussion on all activities for the corning year.

Now I would like to wish everyone of you a Happy New Year. May this year be the way you want it to be!

Our Lodge held its regular monthly meeting on Jan. 6th, 1963. We had a very nice meeting after which we enjoyed a nice social hour with plenty of delicious food, coffee and cold drinks.

We elected our officers in December, for 1963. Our officers were re-elected by acclamation because they did a magnificent job in 1962.

VtSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS I'm a reformed hot-shot driver myself, and I'd like to suggest a way girls can help prevent these tragic accidents.

The idea isn't mine it was proposed by former Welfare Secretary Abraham Ribicoff. His advice was simple, and I'd like to impress it on every teen-age girl in America: Don't date reckless drivers!

Wednesday, January, 16, 1963 BREAKTHROUGH ON THE COMMON COLD The management of Britain's most exclusive hotel is delighted to be able to report that it can now guarantee most of its ,guests a streaming cold.

And this little announcement, extracted from a scientific paper should be good news all around the world, for it means that British scientists are at last in sight of a breakthrough in the cure of the common cold.

This breakthrough could come in 1963 — although research workers at the Harvard Hospital in Salisbury ihave long since learned not to underestimate the baffling virus which is apparently responsible for our watering eyes and plugged noses.

Happily sneezing away today in isolation huts on the grounds of the hospital are the volunteers who in relays since 1946 have acted as human guinea pigs in one of the most intensive attacks ever launched against any malady of man.

More than 7,500 of them have offered their respiratory tracts to science in return for 10 days of good hotel-like accommodation at Salisbury with three good square meals served in the rooms and three shillings a day (42c) pocket money. intrepid British came forward in the thousands 16 years ago when the Medical Research Council and the Ministry of Health in a joint appeal, stated that science could learn nothing further abcut cold from guinea pigs of the chimpanzee and needed human subjects.

Many of the guests, until this past year or two, went home well-rested, without a single symptom of cold, because of the cussedness of the offending virus, which refused to act iri any predictable manner.

One old wives tale after another was shattered. Men and women sat in drafts, were drenched with water and allowed to dry off in the chill air, chummed around with people who had colds and even had fluid from cold sugerers transferred to their own noses.

Far fewer of them, got colds than the dissapointed scientists had hoped would be the case. Obviously the old wives — and the rest, of humanity — got their colds from something else. And only in the past year or so have the scientists at Salisbury begun to find out from what.

In a summary of the work of Harvard Hospital, its director, Dr. M. L. Bynoe, reports that the common cold research, unit has discovered a new group of viruses known as "rhinoviruses" and

You and your family will want to be able to establish credit for yourselves in your new community without delay. Unless you establish credit quickly in your new home town, you may have trouble changing things you need immediately.

Here are a few things you can do before you leave your old community that will help you out: 1. Visit the credit department of your bank to see if it issues credit certificates or personal loan credit cards. These certify that you had an established credit rating, and they will help to speed up establishment of your credit at a bank in the new town.

2. If your company runs a credit union, and you find that the company where you will be working in the new community also has one, ask that a transcript of credit union standing be sent to the union in the new town.

3. If you belong to any national credit card systems such as Diners' Club, American Express or that of an oil company, take your cards with you. You will be able to use them without any questioning.

Once you are in your new community, the utilities companies (those operating telephone, gas and electricity) will ask you to pay for a month's service in advance, then check your credit standing with their counterpart companies in your old town.

If your old bank did not give you a credit certificate, suggest to the credit department of the new bank that it check with the old bank for a credit

Wednesday, January 16, 1963 I.R.S. RULES FOUNDATIONS MUST REVEAL MORE DATA The Internal Revenue Service ruled last week that hereafter the nation's tax-exempt foundations must give the government and the public Much more information on their financial operations.

There are more than 50,000 such organizations, many of them quite wealthy and some which earlier this year came under fire from chairman Wright Patman, (D-Texas), of the House Small Business Committee.

Patman charged, after an inquiry, that many of the foundations were abusing the tax laws in financing operations which deprived the government of millions of dollars in revenue. He also charged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with dereliction of duty in not plugging loopholes.

The announcement, forerunner of special IRS rules which the foundations will have an opportunity to challenge, noted that some of Patman's, recommendations had been adopted.

It said that for the first time, all tax-exempt ,organizations, charitable or otherwise, will be required to supply detailed information on: Officers' salaries, stockholdings and other investments, political or lobbying activities, accumulation of capital gains and other income, dealings and relationshipswith contributors, costs of raising funds, and names and addresses of persons receiving grants together with their relationship to the benefactors of the organization.

Lists of contributors will still be withheld from public inspection, however The rules will apply to all 1962 operations ending Dec. 31 and the years thereafter. The IRS said the revised forms the organization must fill out must be open to the public in both, the district in which they are filed and in the main IRS office.

It said the purpose of the crackdown was "to correct abuses under existing law and to attain a higher level of compliance by tax-exempt organization=" More than 50,000 forms were filed last year. The new form for calendar year 1962 must be filed on or before next May 15. There also will be a new form for taxable trusts which claim charitable deductions which also must be open to public perusal.

The rules will apply to foundations established by either individuals or corporations. The IRS is inviting comment of interseted parties before making them final.

VtSTNi — WEST. TEXAS 300 TRANSLATIONS OF BIBLE UNDER WAY The Holy Bible has been translated into at least 1,181 languages and dialects, and 300 new translations are under way.

The way of a translator is hard, but present-day linguists probably face lesser hazards than their predecessors, the National Geographic Society says.

St. Jerome, who wrote the enduring Latin Vulgate Bible in the 5th, century, was vilified by traditionalists. He gave as ,good as he got, calling his critics "twolegged asses." William Tyndale was burned at the stake as a heretic in 1536 for translating the Bible into everyday English.

All or ports of the Scriptures have been translated into such obscure languages as Ogoni, a Nigerian dialect; Kekchi, spoken by some Guatemalan Indians; Kambera, an Indonesian tongue; and Mao Naga, an Assamese dialect, National Geographic says.

Field translation has its pitfalls. A translator in the Solomons found later that he had rendered the Psalmist's phrase "the wild asses quench their thirst" as "the cannibal pigs drink water to stop hiccoughs."

A missionary among the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico tried to obtain the word for "jump." by acting it out. The Indians chorused an expression which Even the revered King James Version the clergyman wrote down, only to learn was attacked when it appeared in 1.611.

The Texas Legislature may be asked to pass an "antiquities law" to preserve prehistoric treasurers — at least on public land — from unauthorized removal or destruction. The federal government and some states have such a law,. according to Davis.

Some regulations already have been attempted by Texas legislators. It is against the law, for example, to deface an Indian -pictograph ( a painting found on cliffs and cave walls). There is no evidence, however, that a Texas law fixing a $50 fee for nonresidents to dig here has ever been enforced.

It is a misdemeanor to reproduce any artifact, such as an arrowhead, with intent to deceive. Davis says there still is flourishing traffic in lately made relics, produced for sale to hobbyists and other nonexperts.

"Lots of these are fake, and I don't know of any protection against them," said Davis.

The manufacturers, if pressed, will admit the "relics" were recently made.

Otherwise, he lets the buyer remain ignorant. No law violation is involved.

One Texas firm. sells arrowheads by the crate by mail order, and also does an over-the-counter business, he said.

"Commercialization is the ruin of scientific archaeology," Davis commented.

Besides some traffic in phony relics, commercial "pot-hunters" visit authen- tic ruins and sell what they discover to collectors — usually without any scientific record. A Folsom (New Mexico) point, for example, may bring as much as $300.

Besides some excellent help — as well as some hindrance — which the pros are getting from the amateurs in this field, archaeology is benefitting by nuclear science. Radiocarbon dating 'of prehistoric materials is serving usefully. Nuclear chemists like Dr. Murry Tamers of the University of Texas is helping archaeologists determine approximate dates based on radioactivity of the items unearthed.

VASTN1K— WEST, TEXAS THE IMPERFECT HEART

Few of us are born perfect. Fortunately, however' most imperfections in body structure are either very slight or are situated in such a place that they do not hamper any body functions. Although many parts of our body can be less than perfect, and still function, the heart, because it is such an important and delicate instrument, cannot. Almost any im perfection, no matter how slight can ca- -se problems.

A m: 3take of nature, when it affectg the hurt, or major blood vessels, is known as a congenital heart defect.

There are numerous defects of this type with n • mes too complicated to list, but essentiolly they all indicate some structural imperfection which interferes with the normal function of the heart mechanism. Some of these defects can be very slight and some can be so severe as to be completely incompatible with life.

Exact diagnosis is possible in an overwhelming percentage of patients today.

In establishing a diagnosis , the ,g;eneralist, the internist, the cardiologist, the surgeon and the radiologist all cooperate to offee their findings and make their interpretations. This history of the patient in correlated with the physical finding;, interpretations of the x-ray and fit aro.scopic examinations, and the electrocardiograms. There are also more specialized techniques available, like an,9,1pca,rdiography (injecting chemicals opaque to x-rays so they find their way to the heart), cardiac catheterization (making the same studies by means of a slender tube run painlessly into the heart t self), plaonocardiography (sound studies 7 and other special methods.

Although not every heart defect can be corrected, the surgeon and his team can usually select the cases that will be successful , even when the patient is very small. And then for the first time that patient may have a chance at a normal life. ) 0 WINTER SNEEZING

Many hay fever and allergy victims, who think their troubles are ended with the first killing frost, experience nasal discomforts again with the arrival of winter's deep cold.

The commonest cause is dry indoor air — hard on even healthy throat and nasal tissues, brutal on those weakened by summer allergies.
