The various duties and responsibilities were assigned. Brother Bill Gaiser was again elected chairman of the Entertainment Committee. It will be deeply appreciated if all of our members give their Entertainment Committee and the other Committees their full cooperation and support in 1963. Remember, these are all non-paying jobs, so with your help, it will make the job a lot easier and more enjoyable. Also, we hope that a lot more of our members make a greater effort to cone to the third Sunday regular business monthly meetings. With a membership of nearly 700 members, we should have larger attendance at these meetings and the family fun nights immediately after the conclusion of the meetings. It is habit-forming and once you start, you will find it entertaining, enjoyable and also a fine way to visit old friends and make many new ones.

We will also collect annual dues from the members who have their loved ones buried there. Our dues are $2.00 for a family lot; $1.00 for a single grave and 50c for small graves.

All who are interested in this cemetery are urged to pay for the upkeeep of this cemetery and repair of fence and other things, and if not able to come, please send in your contributions to the address given below.

This cemetery is a country cemetery located 2 miles out of town and run by plain people. There are no city conveniences, but is kept up in a. way that we are not ashamed of, that is, not run down. We are proud of it, but we need financial and moral support.

This cemetery was founded June 1st, 1912 by 20 Karel Jonas Lodge No. 28 members, that belonged to the Lodge and lived in East Bernard, Texas. Since that time 51 years have elapsed, with only two charter members living and the rest have died or moved away.

We have 168 souls resting there and only about 25 per cent of them are remembered. The rest we have to maintain, and keep up with our own money.

In addition to what your lodge or Youth Club may offer in prizes to the children with the highest points in your Club, the Supreme Lodge will give: 1. $15.00 to the child with the highest number of points.

In addition to the above point system contest, we will again have the merit system record book contest. Those of you who wish to join the merit book contest, contact your District Youth Director and she will furnish you the books you need.

You, the Youth Director, will play a big part in this program and a lot will depend on you to make this program a success. Be sure to keej a close record of your meetings and all activities, inorder that you may have a complete roster of your children so that you may keep an accurate count of points each child earns.

Wishing you a lot of success, I remain.

Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny ) 0 District Organizers, Dear Fellow Workers: As we look back with gratitude to all that was good in the past years, we also look forward to the future with faith and confidence.

We exceeded our quota of $3,000,000.00 in 1962 and increased our membership by 284 over the same period of 1961.

Our Youth programs and activities are on the increase as well as the attendance of Lodge and District fune' ions.

In 1.963 our quota is again set at $3,000,000.00. We hope to have even greater Youth Activities and to stir even more nterest in our local lorges through our improved and expanded youth programs.

Our insurance sales contest in connection with the Queen, King, and Duchess Contest starts March 1st and ends on April 30. Be sure to select your candidates whom you wish to support

Wednesday, January 23, 1963 as soon as possible since their names must be submitted to your District uth Directors by March 21st, other,vise they will not qualify to enter the District or State Contest.

We will again sponsor the Point system Contest and the Merit Record Book Contest. So those of you who do not have an active Youth Club, help your Lodge organize one and if that is not possible, then encourage your youth to take part in keeping the Merit System books. They can do this e'ien if a club is not organized.

Don't forget the application a month club. You can stay in this club by writing an application each month. Should you miss a month, then you loose your earned credits, but you can start all over again the following month without having to wait until the first, of the year, like we did last year.

Thanking you for your past cooperation and support and looking forward to working harmoniously together in the future, I am r-raternally yours, Joe B. Hejny )0( Dear Organizers: It gives us Brat pleasure to announce that we have written applications for $3,036,500.00 of Life Insurance, of which 3,017, 000.00 was approved in 1962.

19 DISTRICT I PROGRESS REPORT FOR 1962 Dear Brother and Sister Organizers: This is an overall picture of our accomplishments in 1962. I think it is good, even though we did not reach our quota or the year.

Now at the beginning of this new year it would be a good idea if we all take stock and plan to improve our work by using knowledge gained by past experience. I believe the best plan is to start to work early. Take every advantage that may come your way. Keep a list of all possible prospects; their birthday dates, and all data that may be helpful to write them up. Remember that it is the early bird that gets the worm.

And don't fail to attend our first district banquet which I will announce later.

Also, at this time I wish to express my appreciation to all who have been so helpful to us during the past year in our organizational work. Namely the Supreme Lodge Officers, th.e Editor, District Youth Director, District Officers and all the members who have helped us in any way. God bless each and every one of you. Let's start this year with the determination that we shall reach our quota (which is the same as it was last year). Let's be determined to win the contest between the districts. We know that we can do it, but don't wait too long.

Here is the record for 1962. It is complete with membership and insurance.

The Czech Choral Group of SPJST Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84 is now in its second year of existence. It currently has a membership of 52 members. In those two short years we have built a repertoire of Czech songs, including Czech classics and a few American songs.

Not only do we have members of Czech ancestry, but also of Irish descent.

Czech song, explain the meaning, go over the words several times, and you would be surprised how well they can sing.

Our singing group is composed of 45 members, the remainder being social members, and our rehearsals are always well attended.

Since our existence, we have presented many programs. In the past year we

This is a cry for help that is going up all over the country, in ever-increasing volume.

"I feel that I should do my part for the community," continues the suffering victim. "Ever'y one of these clubs and committees is working for a good cause.

"I was taught in school that the first duty of every citizen is to the group, and that we must all work for the good of the community as a whole. But when the heck am I going to have time to get acquainted with my own children and talk to my husband if I'm always rushlog off to a group?"

Group psychology is the new creed of the modern generation of eggheads, it seems, and is taught in most of the schools and college textbooks of the last 20 years. It minimizes the development of the individual and magnifies the duty to the group.

"The new generation of teachers, writers, sociologists and politicians , believe in `oughtness'," said a nonconformist. "They dwell on how things ought to be, not how they are. Even economics and business have departed from consideration of the individual to study of the group. But what they all forget is that there can't be much of a group without some rugged individuals as leaders."

What this country needs, it seems, is a vaccination against the epedemic "groupitis."

As for airlines travel of ill passingers, Dr. Lederer said most doctors now are beginning to agree that air travel is best for heart patients and other ailing persons needing to travel, because of its comfort and shorter travel time.

Solvent extraction is a standard chemical technique but it is now used for the removal of chemicals in small quantities in water or other solvents.

If neglected, rheumatoid arthritis can cause severe crippling. But if it is diagnosed early and treatment is faithfully followed, many patients can be spared disability and helped considerably.

If the disease does not yield to treatment, rehabilitation can often help a handicapped individual continue a useful life.

If your joints become sore, stiff, painful or swollen, consult your doctor, and always avoid self-treatment. The sooner you seek his help, the better your chances to head off trouble. )O(

ARTHRITIS — "SPHINX OF DISEASES" Arthritis has been likened to the ancient Sphinx. For arthritis, no less than the Sphinx, is still strange and mysterious in many ways.

For example, the exact cause of some types of arthritis remains unknown. Nor do doctors fully understand why it flares up in certain patients and smoulders or develops gradually in others . . why treatment beneficial for one victim may not help another . . . why rheumatoid arthritis strikes women three times as often as men.

Despite such mysteries, when proper treatment is started early . . . or before' the affected body joints have been severely damaged, there is great likelihood of lasting relief and marked improvement.

Proper treatment for arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, affectin,g about eleven million Americans 14 years of age and older, must be based on the needs of the individual patient.

This is because arthritis occurs in many forms, each of which requires special management. Yet, many people, brush aside treatment prescribe,d by their doctors to seek some cure promising quick and complete recovery. There is no such thing.

At least 50 forms of arthritis are known to medical science. But only two of the forms together make up more than seventy per cent of all rheumatic complaints. These are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis, or degenerative "7oint disease, begins as a rule in the thirties or forties as part of the process of aging.

It usually attacks joints that undergo greatest wear and tear.

Under proper medical care, a great deal can be done to lessen discomfort and reduce further damage to joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis may be more serious. Though it involves the joints, it also affects the body. Moreover, it strikes

BRINGING HAPPINESS TO THE OLDSTERS Sometimes the best way to help one's self is to start helping someone else.

Oldsters in particular find that working with less fortunate contemporaries can pay off richly.

In some areas of the U.S., under the sponsorship of the Musicians Emergency Fund, glee clubs are active in many oldage residences and hospitals for the chronically ill.

Sonie of the Fund's staff of music therapists, who work with these older people, qualify as oldsters themselves at well as professional musicians. They find the same personal satisfaction in getting together for group singing and rhythm sessions as do those they are helping. It becomes a cooperative venture for all concerned, not a solitary something to do for one lonely person.

For the resident of a home or a Golden Age Club member, it breaks down barriers and builds up faith in their own capabilities.

The idea for these sessions began in 1954 with a group of "Singing Seniors."

Fifty men and women, ranging in age from 66 to 89, responded to the invitation to form the first group. The Musicians Emergency Fund provided an outstanding choral conductor and an excellent accompanist. Standards were thus kept high.

"Singing Seniors" was disbanded in 1961, due to the advancing age of its membership and the difficulties involved 'n travel and rehearsals and performances. From the pattern they set, however, members of new resident glee clubs and other musicial activities have sprung.

Performers in rhythm sessions don't have to have a background of professional training. A sense of timing, a feel for beat and the ability to take some 'direction makes musicians of many.

25 Even an arthritic hand can rattle a tamborine and work the clapper and bells, and a wheel chair is no bar to beating the bongo drums.

In one home in New York state approximately 60 per cent of the residents are bedridden. A music therapist of the Fund goes from one ward to another with a piano on wheels. Oldsters are propped up to use clappers, triangles, tamborines, sticks, maraccas and bongo drums. Ambulatory residents sometimes join in and put on impromptu song and dance "floor shows." These sessions stimulate residents to participate in other group activities and generally raise the morale.

Music programs provide four important things for lonely oldsters who may feel they are being shoved aside by life.

New social horizons. The ability to go beyond the person-to-person level and work as part of a group.

Stimulation. The knowledge that they can still participate in and contribute to the success of a new propect.

Education. The corroboration of the old saying that it is never too late to learn. Finding out they can memorize new songs, learn to play simple instruments.

Ability to help others. The reward of providing entertainment and, in addition, inspiring other oldsters to make a similar effort. ) it $188 MILLION FOR TEXAS' WELFARE Austin — Welfare payments totaling $188.4 million went to Texans during the fiscal year ending Aug. 13, the State Welfare Department reported recently.

This total is an increase of $22 mil-, lion from last year.

Old age assistance payments comprise the largest portion of outlay, totaling $160.9 million, the department said in its annual report.

Other expenditures include: $18.2 million for aid to dependent children; $4.2 million for aid to the blind and $4,9 million for aid to the permanentl y and totally disabled. An additional $'7.2 million was spent for administrative expenses.

The state paid $52.6 million of the total, while the federal government contributed $135.8 million.

Texas' average per capita welfare expenditure was $17.85, including a state Donlon of $5.15.

The report said the total outlay included the state's new medical care program under which the state purchases private medical insurance for the aged.

23 STATE PRISON POPULATION: 12,105 The piison population at the Texas Department of Corrections reached an all time high as 1963 began when the count rose to 12,105 inmates.

During 1962, 6,002 men and domen were admitted to the prison, 5,508 of them for the first time, J. C. Roberts, chief of the records section, reported.

The New Year's Day total topped by 275 any previous New Year's Day total and was 853 more than the year prev;ions. The exploding prison population presents a major problem to Dr. George 3. Beto, general manager, who said that at The Walls men were housed in the auditorium and other buildings designed for industrial use.

over 14,000 by 1965.

The count at The Walls should not exceed 1,500 but averages 2,500, Dr. Beta said.

The Texas Legislature in 1963 will be faced with the problem of providing additional funds for building cell blocks for the growing count. )0 (

DOUBLE POTTING CAN SIMPLIFY WATERING JOB H you use foliage plants in your home to add a touch of green or to accent your decorating scheme, you know that regular and p roper watering is an essential part of their care.

However,' at the same time, Roberts with peat moss or shredded sphagnum estimated that prison count will reach moss.

Keep the moss, as well as the soil in the porous pot, damp. says the USDA plant specialists. In this a ay, moisture is absorbed slowly through the pot. Waterings can be less frequent, and time of watering will be less critical.

The clay pot can be removed and replaced at will, or turned around to allow for variations in lighting — something you can't do when you use soil in a built-in planter, If there is no drain for removing excess water, the bottom of the planter should be filled \\Jth three inches of gravel, then a layer of charcoal to prevent stagnation of standing water. The clay pot should NEVER STAND IN water. )0( TIPS FOR QUILT TOPS Old ties make beautiful quilt or afghan tops. Just rip the ties open, wash and press flat.

arm Fa The U. S. Department of Agriculture points out that farm real estate taxes were three times higher in 1960 than they were in 1942. In fact, the rise in these taxes in the United States (not including Alaska and Hawaii) has been uninterrupted in he past 18 years. ;Recall:it the acreage of irmland in private ownersnip changed little since 912, to . per acre have increas;u1 in the same proportion as total farm real estate axes.

Pa,rin real estate taxes in he 48 states totaled $1,284 million in 1960. This was 8% more than the total for 1959.

They increased in every state except Delaware, where they remained the same as in 1959.

Since 1945; increases in arm real estate taxes have averaged 7% a year. The USDA attributes this rise to the sharply increased cost of local government, largely financed in rural areas- by the property tax. Local government costs jumped fourfold from 1946 to 1959.
