V L, STNIK — WEST, TEXAS On January 26, 1963, SPJST charter member, William Junek, passed into eternity. He was 85 years old. Brother Junek was also a charter member of Slovan Lodge No. 6 in Snook. He had been living with l'ils son:, , Riohard and wife, near Merle, just south of Snook.

His son's farm is the same farm the late Brother Junek settled upon at the time of his marriage.

Brother William Junek was born in 1877 at Industry, in Austin County, and moved to the Snook area as a young man. Brother Junek often related how hard the times were about the time SPJST was being founded. Many times, poultry and eggs had to be sold in order to maintain their membership.

Brother Junek, and many others like him, were the true pioneers in the noblest sense of the word. We owe much to these great forebearers!

Funeral services were held from the Snook Brethren Church on January 28, with Rev. Frank Kostothryz officiating.

Burial was in the Snook Cemetery. He is survived by one son son, Richard, and wife Sydonia, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Balear of Houston. Our sincere sympathise are extended to the surviving famWILLIAM JUNEK ily of this fine man.

What A Supervisor Owes His Workers In this discussion of the responsibilities of a superior to his subordinates most of my observations come from opinions expressed by leadrnen, foremen, superintendents, department heads and general management people, Mr. Cleve Rumble, personnel manager or the Louisville Courier-Journal and Times told the ANPA Production Management Conference in Philadelphia.

For several years I have been moderating discussion group programs that include individuals from various levels of supervision. This is a homemade kind of training and development program.

In it we have taken up for discussion many problems common to all levels of management, such as making changes. giving orders, making decisions, communicating with others and similar problems.

In addition, through personal contacts I have been supplied with the written comments of superiors in several well-known newspaper operations elsewhere. These expressions come from across the board -- production, advertising news, circulation and the business office.

Inc basic question to which we have accumulated responses is: "In your opinion, what responsibilities does a superior ;have to his subordinates?" Deliberately, we did not define the level of the superior to the subordinate. We wanted the responses to be more revealing of the individual's outlook. Some would be thinking of their superior while others would be thinking of their subordinates. Consequently, w.-.at we received an analyzed were "attitudinal responses" to a large extent, reflecting the feelings of the individual perhaps more than he realized.

Why are we interested in this question and in this approach? Why not study the responsibilities of a subordinate to his superior? We recognized that most people are oriented upward — toward what a superior says, does, expects

and self-appraisal with respect to each point.

A superior has the responsibility of keeping his subordinates informed.

This includes letting subordinates know fully what is expected of them.

Instruction and training are responsible for a superior to his subordinates. Note the feeling as to the direction of the responsibility. It also includes commendation for good performance and peatfftgittaitftinte52"8614' criticism for poor work. In this regard, one respondent said: 'Well-hones,' too easily given, lose their meaning." In regard to discipline, the following PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the opinion represented the consensus. "A United States of America and to the superior owes it to his subordinates to Republic for which it stands. One Nation discipline promptly, firmly and consistunder God, indivisible, with Liberty and ently. Otherwise, be cannot retain the respect of others."

Justice for all."

A superior owes it to his subordinates -) 0 t to have plans for his operation and LINKS know how he will seek to accomplish them.

Roy Z. Kemp One person said: "My superior gives Courtesy and friendliness me the impression that he operates from day to day off the top of his head. He Are most important things. has no plans." Another one commented: They're priceless — oh, more valuable "Tell subordinates in advance about Than all the diamond rings.

Planned changes. Don't let them have to find it out from the grapevine."

They're never ostentatious, like A superior has the responsibility of A great big flag unfurled, listening to his subordinates and giving But they are always noticed consideration to their opinions and ideas. n this big old thoughtless world. One succinct comment was: "Be available and be accessible." This means the Each can produce a miracle superior must develop his listening As very few things can, For they are links in chains that bind skills. He needs to act in a manner that will encourage forthrightness. But thi The brotherhood of man! i s only a part of his responsibility. If he expresses immediate criticism or reorders, lilies to hear, and the attitudes sentment of what a subordinate ha' and interests he reveals. We decided to stated, the chances are the subordinates to a l ook with the focus on responsiwill not be frank and. forthright nex bilities downward.

But, I submit, it is the obvious respect the individuality of his sub that is ignored most freguently, so these ordinates, including subordinates wh responses are presented. Perhaps all of are members of union groups.

One thoughtful response elaborate us should practice a bit of introspection

Wednesday, February 27, 1963 on this point. "The' superior must realize that his subordinates are different in varying degrees. Each has a personality which is the product of his heredity, environment and experiences. The supervisor's actions and orders will have a different effect on each of his men and each of them will respond differently. The interplay of these reactions among individuals of the group will result in a group attitude towards 'him."

A superior has the responsibility to set a good example for his subordinates.

One man said: "Suppose all of my subordinates behaved as I do? The thought scares me." Another person commented: "To set an example, a superior must be mentally alert; he must master his emotions and not be subject to bursts of anger or to periods of depression. His spiritual and moral habits should not be open to censure."

The pitfall recognized by all respondents was that of showing favorites. One interesting variation of this pointed out the feeling of favoritism created when a production manager spent the greatest portion of his time with one department while other departments felt they had problems deserving his time and attention. A second variation was the playing of one subordinate against anor nor.

Many comments concerning the responsibilities of a superior to his subordinates who are foremen, These responses came primarily from foremen. To me, they are worthy of continuing, consideration.One man said emphatically "Stop pulling the rug out from under us. Our superiors should give us more support."

There were many expressions of resentment to "buck-passing" by superiors, and to the inability or unwillingness of superiors to "back-up." It was recognized generally that it is the skillful superior who knows bow to back up from a position. Perhaps the meat of this, problem of foremanship is summarized in one fellow's comment: Do not make clerks and errand boys out of foremen.

If you really want foremen to be part of management, let them manage. We don't want to be puppets or yoyos on striners " One variation of this was the comment: "Too often in the past, superiors have failed to support foremen, or have undermined them by discussing their shoti;;comings within earshot of employees."

There were many other expressions of substance as well as of feeling. Perhaps the heaviest responSibility a superior

VESTNiKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS has to his subordinates is the one which was expressed in this manner. "A superior is obligated to give periodic and frequent attention to the task of selfappraisal. In other words, he needs to to take a good, hard look at himself, his attitudes, his work habits, his relationship with others, and how people are responding to him."

Several recurring themes can be heard throughout all of the expressions received. These point up such matters as respect, dignity, individuality, freedom to grow and to develop, as well as this matter of communication.

Now place ourselves in this picture. It might be convenient to think of these as responsibilities applicable only to others). Remember, however, these responsibilities apply to all of us, whether we are top management, subtop management or first line supervisors. How about our responsibilities to clerks, stenographers, salesmen, flyboys, apprentices, journeymen and other employees?

Why not keep them informed? Why not tell them about plans and changes that will affect them? Why not listen to them and consider their viewpoints?

Why not respect their .dignity and individuality? Why not set a good example for them? Are these objectives desirable only for relationships between eveis of management?

We make a lot of this matter of freedom of information. We fight for access to information with special committees of various industry groups working on this important task. (Ironically, one freedom-of-information committee of a group in our industry recently held an "off the record meeting" insofar as its own group members were ccncerned).

We write and preach about the public's "right to know." Our subordinates at aL levels also have the "right to know' concerning that which affects directly their assignments and what is or will be expected of them. Why not inform them? If we are afraid, what are we )f raid of?

This failure to communicate needs careful study. I would venture to say that many times we fail to communicate because we fear disagreement. This is a misconception of the purpose of communication. We seek to inform and to be informed of the purpose of promoting understanding. Now understand ing and agreement are not the same thing. To understand does not mean to agree. We can have understanding and disagreement. If we communicate effectively, we may promote

13 understanding which may lead to agreement. The failure to communicate may lead quickly to misunderstanding.

I had rather experience disagreement based on understanding that disagreement based on misunderstanding.

How many times we hear sub-top management say a particular responsibility or failure belongs to top management. "If only top management would take action." "If only top management would recognize the problem."

"That's not my problem, that belongs to top management."

You have heard this kind of wailing and I have, too. I am sick of it. Inoerent in our responsibilities as superiors wio arc also members of sub-top management is our obligation to advise, to guide, to counsel and to point up problems and recommend courses of action. Our responsibilities go far beyond the mere rendering of first aid when our superiors stub their toe or unknowingly cut their throats.

We have heard it said: "Let him bleed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he cut his own throat." But the reiationship of superior and subordinate includes the mutual responsibility not mly to render first aid, but also to prevent the circumstances that would require it. Top management is to a large extent what sub-top management helps it to become, just as sub-top management is to a large extent what sub)rdinate8 help it to be.

So we come to the final and continuing questions How are we measuring up to our responsibilities to our subordinates? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Cleve Rumble, Publication Management. )0 ) SPECIAL As we go to press, we learned of the ,udden Dossing cf Mr. L. 3.

LETTERS LODGE 165, MOULTON Dear Readers and Writers: Here I come again with some news— not much of it today. Just that we got a 2-inch rain, a slow soaking rain. Every drop of water was soaked into the dry ground. Farmers are very happy that there is enough moisture for pasture grass. When you travel that's what you see most — plenty of cattle on every farm. Years ago children jumped and played and the far distance echoed with their songs and laughter. Now only hogs and cattle roam. My, what a change from some 30 years ago. Today, farms are sold to city people for a high price — never the value of the land, and they are only those weekend farmers. We cannot change these conditions, but what would our grandfathers say if they could return and see all that is left of their hard work and patience?

Well, it might end better than we think.

We !heard by the radio that Mrs. Joe Kencaba, age 74, of Shiner, died yesterday.

Our last meeting was fairly well attended. Business matters were discussed both old and new. Also a minute of silence was observed for our deceased lodge members, John V. Havlik and Mrs. F. Surman. May they rest in peace.

The door prize was won by "yours truly."

We decided to have a Chicken Noodle Soup Dinner, the first Sunday in March, that is March 2nd. Don't forget and do come to our Lodge Hall and enjoy the event. We will also have kolaches, pies, and cakes, plenty to drink, and entertainment in the afternoon. So mark this date on your calendar and make it a special holiday. You are all very wel• ome. So don't forget March 3rd at the Culak Lodge Hall, some 3 miles West of Moulton on the Gonzales Highway.

I remain, fraternally, your reporter Bessie Fojt )0( LODGE JARO 130, DALLAS Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our meeting was held Sunday, February 3rd. It was called to order with 23 members present.

We wish to thank everyone who helped this group of eight youngsters, in any way, as they participated in the contest. They are all a hardworking grotip and they someday will accomplish for what they are striving.

The next big event coming up, will be the Princess Ball Contest which will be held in August. Watch for further details and be sure and help support these youngsters.

We were proud to have our Houston Lodge Pokrok No. 88 represented in in the Houston Stock Show Parade.

Those who took part were Sister Lillian Kruse and her convertible; Mickey Rice, Rosilee Ruland, Evelyn Mikeska, Connie Rice, Larry Kruse and Chas.

Kadlecek.

Let's all make plans to come out Saturday night, March 2nd to the dance.

Music will be by Henry Tannenberger Free snacks will be served at each table.

So gring your friends out for a good time. Also, don't forget on Saturday March 9th, the famous Ray Jurecka Orchestra of Weimar will play for our last dance before Easter.

NECROLOGY

For The Housewife

Wednesday, February 27, 1963 foods appear in pieces or segments; let others be served whole.

Don't be afraid to try new methods of preparation. There are countless numbers of ways to prepare foods. Do not fall in the rut of always preparing a certain meat or vegetable in the same manner. If you have leftovers, serve them in a new form.

Successful menu , planning, though based on scientific facts, is actually an art developed through inspiration and thought. Its rewards are health, vitality, joy of living and the satisfaction of attractive food. )0 ) PAVING COMPANY, OR A PARTY? Every hostess is always on the lookout for new ideas for her hors d' oeuvre tray. It seems that a wide assortment of appetizers always makes the selection more impressive.

I you like to try new and different hors d'oeuvres to add that spark of variety, clip out these suggestions. Try them, along with your old stand-bys, the next time you are planning a party.

For a spicy, hot canape, pile Mexican style chili beans on thin slices of buttered bread with crusts trimmed. Roll, fasten with toothpicks, and wrap a bacon slice around each. Toast them under the broiler until the bacon is crisp, and serve them piping hot.

Try this idea for using up left-over turkey or chicken. Mix with mayonnaise and chopped pimiento. Sandwich between two dill pickle slices, and spear on hors d'oeuvre picks. Or, make a quick and easy spread by blending sweet pickle relish with cream cheese.

For fancy "bulls-eye" hors d'oeuvres, home economists pass on this idea. Cut a loaf of sandwich bread lengthwise into 1/4--ndha thick slices. Remove crusts.

Spread each slice with a mixture of equal parts of softened butter and anchovy paste (or use liverwurst, instead).

Place stuffed olives in a row across one side of each bread slice. Roll, starting at olive end, wrap in saran, and chill. Before serving, cut crosswise into "bulls-eye" slices. )O) TEXAS FOOD NEWS Increased imports showed up this week to fill some gaps, at least partially, in fresh fruit and vegetable supplies at Texas food markets.

Mexico is shipping a limited volume of pineapples, strawberries, tangerines, tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans.

Plums and nectarines are coming from South America, but prices are fairly high. And there are new arrivals GT coconuts from Honduras.

VESTNiK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS Tomato prices dropped sharply, at wholesale, according to market news offices of the Agricultural Marketing Service. Also down are cucumbers, lettuce and yellow squash. Carrots and onions are lower in some areas. Banana imports increased. ' Green beans, corn, peppers and rutabagas carry higher price tags than last week.

Plenty of canned and frozen red tart cherries for Washington's Birthday were available at reasonable cost. Other fruits on the best-buy list include apples, especially Red Romes; small-size avocados and bananas. D'Anjou pears continue plentiful.

Vegetable best buys this week are cabbage, carrots, celery, lettuce, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, rudabagas and both raw and roasted peanuts.

Broiler prices, at the farm, have risen slightly. They are still lower than a year ago, though. Frozen turkey is readily available at budget prices. Eggs and milk continue ample. Beef and pork prices have moderated noticeably, especially at live markets. ,Supplies, of dry beans are plentiful. )0 )

Unknown Cardiac Is Problem "Industry is much less worried now about the known cardiac worker," explains Dr. Leon Warshaw, medical director of Paramount Pictures Corp., and United Artists Corp. "The guy who keeps us awake nights is the unknown and untreated cardiac who may unwittingly be hired for or retained on a job dangerous to himself and others."

Industry's growing concern for the cardiac and its medical work in this field have wide-spread implications for many Americanst. Some 10.5 million Americans suffer from heart diseases, according to the American Heart Association. The nation's number one killer, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, claim the lives of almost 1 million Americans a year.

Returning cardiacs to white collar jobs, including executive posts, has been relatively routine for several years. The trend to retain cardiacs on tasks that require more physical strain stems from increasing awareness, based on experience, that most cardiacs fare well on ncavy fobs Union Carbide, which nine years ago began an intensive study to determine the relationship of such factors as blood BLUE-COLLAR CARDIACS (More Heart Patients Return to Old fats to heart disease, often found in medical examinations that employes had Jobs; Example Set by Eisenhower) (Permission has been obtained from experienced earlier heart ailments the Wall Street Journal, New York, to which toe workers either didn't recpublish the following article, written by ognize or failed to report to the comMr. Kenneth G.

Wednesday, February 27, 1963 Last year, although only 2.1 of the sta t e legislatures were in session, state tax collections climbed to an all-time high of 20.6 billion dollars. Total state and local taxes increased during the year by an estimated 3 billion dollars.

With regular legislative sessions convening in 47 states early in 1963, the state trend is expected to continue upward. More than 25 per cent of an estimated 90,000 bills 'introduced in the big odd-year sessions will involve taxes, 2,500 becoming law.

In its annual roundup issue of the State Tax Review, CCH notes significant actions as follows ,,during 1962: Cigarette Tax Cigaret1;e tax increases were made effective in Michigan, from 5 cents to 7 cents per pack, and in Mississippi to 8 cents from 6 cents per pack.

New Jersey made its 7-cents-per-pack rate permanent and Virginia and West Virginia extended their current temporary rates. Kentucky placed the burden of its cigarette tax on the consumer.

Income Tax Virginia adopted general withholding of taxes by employers, effective in 1963.

Truth: This 'cannot be proven or ellsproven by scientific measurement of statistics. And it is hard to imagine a generalization more susceptible to contradiction in individual cases. The practical experience of many companies indicates that this factor is seriously overrated. On the other hand, older workers often possess a number of personality traits found lacking among less mature employes, that can pay big dividends in the office and on the production line. Among them: stability, loyalty, reliability, a will to work and to work steadily, a sense of responsibility, less "off-the-job" problems and distractions, a stabilizing influence on younger workers and a serious attitude toward the job. _)0( OLD AGE AND EMPLOYMENT (Many Firms Hiring Older People) (Permission has been obtained from the Wall Street ournal, New York, to publish the following article written
