ARCUATE, NAROK "Ponevad2 tedy vgeho sveta ye ukazuji, 2e slava narodri a rodri, most a osad', °loci a cirkvi, toliko na lidech moudrYch a rozumnych zale2i; my opetlia dekati budeme, aby nam lid& takovi, jako v lese drivi, sami rostli? Ci z kameni jich sobe nebo ze gpalkri nategeme? Ci poeekarne, az je nam Pan litih zazraenYm nejakYm porodem, mimo beh pfirozenY, vyvoditi zaene?

O. nikoli, nikoli! Nage povinnost jest o to se starati, aby na gi bedlivou pracil* vychovavani byli; proto2 starati se zaeneme jrz aspori jednou a to fined bez odkladu."

Tak zavolal Jan Amos Komensky, nazYvanY arciueitell narodil, k svemu narodu eeskoslovenskemu ye spisu "Didaktika, to jest umeni umeleho vyueovani" jiz ye stoleti XVII. A bylo hlasu jeho tieba, ponevada tehdy byla Evropa, znidena zlou valkou tricetiletou.

Bylo treba lidstvo povznesti predevgim dugevne a KomenskY byl piesvedeen, 2e se tak mute stati jedine dobrou gkolou. Proto venovai ve gkeru praci gkole a napsal mnoho knih, v flich2 vyloail, jak nejlepe mlade2 vychovavat a vyueovati, aby rostla a aby se vyvijela lesne i dugevne.

KomenskY sam v 'Zivote u2il mai° dobreho. Narodil• se roku 1592 v Uherskem Brode. Vzdelaval se na •Skolach doma i v cizine, zylagte v Nemecku, ukoneil sve vzdelani eestovanim a stal se pote eeskobratrskYm duchovnim.

Nejvice klidu poskytl mu 2ivot ye Fulneku, kde byl farakem. Tam se oaenil, veelaiil a klidne 2i1 a2 do dne, kdy byl Fulnek vypalen vojskem. V to dobe take kral Ferdinand vydal naiizeni ,aby nekatolici opustili jeho zeme. rtidil se zasadou "Oi je zeme, toho i nabo2enstvi". Bylo to nasili na nekatolicich a bylo provedeno s ukrutnosti, ktere- dnes chapati nemri2eme.

Komensky se skrYval nejakY eas na panstvi pana Karla st. ze Zerotina na Morave, potom na panstvi pana Sadovskeho ze Sloupna v techach, ale koneene i on s jinYmi vyhnanci ((exulanty) opustil eeske zeme a ode gel do polskeho mesta Leona. Tam byll zase farafem a psal knihy, o vychovavani a vyueovani mlaclek. rail, 2e se vrati do vlasti a ze Ceske gkoly upravi podle svYch zasad.

Lee osud rozhodl jinak. KomenskY sloe vyjednava, aby eeskYm vyhnanciim byl vestfalskYm mirem zarueen

JAN AMOS KOMENSKt navrat do vlasti, ale nedarmo. A sam KomenskY umird v cizine, v holandskem meste Amsterdamu a jeho tel.() je pohibeno v Naardenu. Ani spisy Komenskeho nesmely do na g i vlasti, kde panovali Habsburkove, vecieni jesuity a kde eeska kniha byla palena a lid pro viru uteri pronasledovan a2 do vyhube-ni.

Jak opravil g'kolu KomenskS-r?

Pied KomenskYm se uello ye gkolach jenom latine. V gichni ueeni lido umeli latinsky, a proto se inla,de2 tak dlouho ueila latine, a2 se ji naueila. Ale vyueovani bylo nerozumne. :Ceti cc oily nazpamet slovam i y etam, ania znaly, co obsahuji. KomenskY oprayl vyueovani lotine yydanim spisu "Brana jazykri oteviena". Tento spis byl pi-elo2en temer do v gech jazyku lidskYch a znamenite usnadnil ueeni latine. KomenskY hajil take zasadu, ze Me se ma OM mateicskStm jazykem, tedy Ceske dite eesky, nerneeke nemeekY a pod. To byla velika vec a pronikava oprava Skolst yi. KomenskY -Oil, 2o 'chude se maji yyueo yati vSeehny bohate, chlapci i divky, mestske i Yen kovske! A toho pied Komenskym nebylo. Tehdy se ueily pouze deti bohatYch panti. Koneene 2adal KomenskY, aby °Teti vgechno, eeinu se uei, videly pied sebou y e skuteenosti nebo na obraze. t. j. nazorne. Wive se tak nedelo.

Ueitel piedrkal, ideti opakovaly, a2 umely vec nazpamet; ye Akolach nebylo ani obrzti, ani pkistrojt, ha ani knih.

VESTATiX

4 Nazorne vyueovani zdfiraznoval KomenskY ye spisu "Orbis pictus" (Svet v obrazich).

Zasady Komenskeho nebyly dlouho provedeny a nektere nejsou provedeny dosud. Nesmely bYti uskuteeneny, ponevadZ Rakousko bylo zpateenicke a pamdtku Komenskeho chtelo znieiti.

Pied osindesati lety tomu tak mnohdy nebylo. ListonoS byl tehdy listonoSem tak cllouho, pokud jeho piiznivec, zastavajici nejaky politicky fitad, byl u vesla. Mista u vlady byla obyeejne obsazovana presidentem na Zadost elenii jeho politicks strany, kteiI byli aktivne einni v jeho volebni kampani. S tehdejk politickou korupci tesne byl spojen take t. zv. spoil system, zasada, Ze vitezi v boji volebnim pfisluk rozdavani uradtl municipalnich, statnich i federalnich.

Tento system rozrostl se do takovych rozmerit, ze kdyZ roku 1841 nastupoval Iliad president William Henry Harrison, nahrnulo se do hlavniho mesta nejakYch tiicet a2 etykicet tisic uchazeet o 24.000 mist, ktera representovala tehdejk federalni oddeleni vykonne.

Kolem roku 1853 stalo se zvykem zastaviti na mesic skoro vkchnu pravidelnou slune po kaZde zmene administrativy a umoZniti tak presidentovi a Seftan vladnich oddeleni rozhodnouti o torn, komu pkipadne ktere mist°.

Neschopnost mnoha takto dosazovanych inceclnika propadala stale ostrejk kritice s mnoha stran, veetne se strany kongresnikii, z nichk jeden se vytasil s piedlohou, podle niz melt' bYti dlady obsazovany uchazeei bez zietele na jejich politickou piisluSnost a na zaklade iispeSne sloknych zkoukk. Tato piedloha byla porakna, ale zajem vekejnosti o reformu vladni shiny no"prestal vzriistati.

Roku 1881 tento zajem draniaticky vyvrcholil. Druhelio eervence zmineneho roku podlehl tehdejk president James Garfield atentatu nefispeneho uchazeee o idad. Tragedie zpusobila pochopitelne velike vzrukni, a reformni piedloha byla kongresem piijata. 0 osinnact mesicit pozdeji byl schvalen "Civil Service Act", kterY se presidentovYm podpisem stal 16. ledna 1883 zakonem zeme.

Reformy systOmu vladni shiny nebyly uskuteeneny vkchny najednou. System, jak ho zname dnes, vyvijel se pastupem let. OvSem, jako vkide na svete, tak i zde jsou jiste idady, ktere jsou obsazovany presidentem. Jde na o sefy rtiznYch vykonnych departmentit, jakYmi jsou department statu, department zemedelstvi, department prate a pod.

V Chicagu Executives Club konal schfizi, ktera upoutala pozornost proto, jeZto se na ni mluvilo o srdeeni vade.

0 teto va.Zne otazce promluvil Dr. Richard C. Bates z Lansing, Mich., jenZ se venuje studiu a leeeni srdeeni vady. A tert,na prvnim miste jmenuje dedienost. frzekl: "elm vice lidi ye vast rodine nahle zenirelo, tim vice -jste obroleni srdeenim zachvatem."

9 Pohlavi rovn0, to je clfile'ZitYrn telem. Prohlasit: "MuZi maji Sestkrat tolik srdeenich zachvatit jako Zeny, Shledalo se, ze je nem v hormonech, co zpUsobuje, ze Zeny nejsou talc pa'drobeny kornateni tepen jako Kratce po to se shledalo, ze mfiZeme dati Zenske harmony mutt a zpomaliti vzestup, v nernZ', jeho tepny starnou.

Brzy pate vsalc. jakoby zmizeli pacienti, trpici kornatenim tepen. Faktern totz je, e vetMna ruOu radeji by zerhiela: na srcleeni vadu, nez aby nosili brassieru."

Dr. Bates poukazal na to, ‘; ,:e je pra.- • ye tak clinelito; aby Clo y& hodne, del, "jen lcdy'Z nepodcenujete vzrust novYch tepen. Mate-li velkou plochu, na nit se seka trava, promerite se v maleho hoc.ha a delejte to sami."

Dr. Bates dal nekolik pokynft, trpielm srdeeni vadou. Radi: "Srdeeni yule pomaha, kdy2 se deripije 15-20 koflikti kavy se smetanon, KdyZ' se ji hodne zmrzliny a At'avnate steaky dobre zabalene tukem. Kciy; denne se yykouti dva paklieky cigaret".

Bates prohlasil, ze nerd. dosti akaztit podporujleich theorii, ze alkohol a namaha a napjeti zavinuji srdeeni z'aehvaty. Prohlasil: "Neni . nam mama tvrditi, 2e alhoholikove maji vice anebo menu srdeCriieh zachvatil net ti, kteH vtibec .alkohol nepiji."

Dr. Bates dodal: "Je krasnejM, kdyt se rekne eloveku, jenZ byl zachvacen srdeeni thrombosou, ze je to nasledek chvalyhodne telice prate a nesobeekeho oddani povirmosti, nez presycein a telesne nedbalosti." )0 )

Osudy dobreho vojaka Svejka Pfg E JAROSLAV HAEK Dil prvni v zazemi Pokrat'ovanl StraiZmistr na okam'Zik prerugil aby opravil knoty na svielcach, a pale pokraeoval vaZne, hlede prisne na Pejzlerku: "Vy jste byla, Joao, pH torn a jste zasvecena do celeho tajemstvi. Toto tajemstvi je uredni. 0 torn nesmite nikomu se and zminit. Ani na smrtelne posteli, to by vas nesmeli ani pochovat na hrbitove."

"Och jej, zabeclovala Pejzlerka, jsem ja neSt'astna kdy sem vhroeila."

"NevUte, bao, vstarite. Budete pHsahat. kikej te za mnou!"

Pejzlerka odpotkela se he stole za

10 neustaleho beclovani: "P anenko Skoeicka,, ze jsem send kdy verodila."

Zvedla dva prsty do vYte a detnickY straZmistr dfirazne a slavnostne pkedkikaval: "Peisaham, pane stralmistr, o tom, co jsem zde slytela a videla, nikomu se do sve smrti nezminim ani slovena, i kdybych snad, od nein) byla tazana. K tomu mne dopomahej Pan 13th."

"Tak a ted,' zas odnesou svieky, odkuct si jej vyptijeili, a teknou, ze jsem ho poteeboval k vYslechlu!"

Zdrcena Pejzlerka pc) tpiekaeh vytla se sviekama, z pokoje a bylo videt oknem, ze se neustale ohlili ze silnice pa eetnicke stanici, jako by se chtela ptesvedeit, ze to nebyl jen sen, ale 2e skuteene prave peed chvili praila neco hrozneho ye svem Zivote.

Strahnistr zatim ptepisoval svfij raport, kterY v noci doplrioval kankami, ktere rozlizal i s rukopisem, jako by :na papite byla marmelada.

Nyni to -Opine peepraeoval a vzporune si, ze se neoptal jette na jednu vec. Dal si tedy zavolat Bvejka a otazal se ho: "Umite fotografovat?"

"Umim."

"A proe nenosite s sebou aparat?"

"PonevadZ ‘Zadnej nemam," znela ptimna a jasna, odpoved'.

"A kdybyste ho mel, tak byste fotografoval?" otazal se strahnistr.

"Kdyby, to jsou chyby," pro,stodutne odvetil Svejk a klidne snesi tazavY vYraz v oblieeji straZmistrove, kteremu tak prave zas rozbolela hlava, ze si nemohl vymyslit '26,dnou jinou otazku nesZ tuto: "Je to take fotografovat na.dra21?"

"Lehei net nee() jinyho," odpovedel Svejk, "ponevad2 se to nehejba a pokali to nadraZi stoji na• jednom miste a elovek mu nemusi eikat, aby se tvakilo peijemne."

StraZmistr mohl tedy s ytij raport dopinit: "Zu dem Bericht, No 2172, melde ich."

A strUmistr se rozepsal: "Mezi jin-1in pei mem keiZnvem vYslechu udal, ze fotografovat, a to nejradeji nadraft Aparat fotografickY siee u nen° nalezen nebyl, ale jest domnenka, ze ho nekde skryva,, a proto se sebou nenosi, aby odvratil od sebe pozornost, eenni'Z nitsvedeuje i jeho vlastni doznani, ze by fotografoval, kdyby mel aparat u se," Stramistr, maje teZkou hlavu po veerejtku, se stale vie a vice zapletal do sire zpravy o fotografovani a psal Jisto je, ze dle jeho vlastniho doznani jedine to, ze nema aparat fotograficky se sebou, zabranilo tomu, aby nefoto-

Jedine to okolnosti, ze nebyl fotograficky aparat pti ruce, lze dekovati tomu, ze u nem nebyli nalezeny Zadne fotografie."

"To staei," tekl straZmistr a podepsal se.

StraZmistr byl Upine spokojen svym dilem a peeeetl to zavodeirriu s velkou pYchou.

"To se povedlo," fekl k zavocleimu, "tak videji, takhle se pitou berichty.

Tam musi m't vtechno. VYslech, paneeku, to neni jen tak neco jednoduchat°, a lalavni veci je, sestavit to peltne do berichtu, aby tarn nahote na to Cumeli jako jeleni. Piivedou sem, toho nateho, at' to s nim skoncujeme.

StrOmistr, zeetelne pohnut pohledem na dobrodrutnou 8vepkovu tva,e, dodal: "A nevzpominejte na mne ve zlem. Vezmou ho, pane zavodei, tady maji bericht."

"Tak spanembohem," kekl Svejk mekee, "dekuji jim, pane vachmajstr, za vtechno, co pro mne udelali, a kdy'Z bude peilaitost, tak jim budu psati, a kdybych mel 'lady jette cestu kolem, tak se a nich zastavim."

Svejk vytel se zavodeim na silnici, a kdokoliv je potkal, jak byli zabrani v ptatelsky rozhovor, povaZoval je za stare zname, kteti maji nahod.ou stejnou cestu do mesta, fekneme do kostela.

"To byl byeh si nikdy nemyslil," vy' vejk, "ze takova cesta do BuB dejovie je spojena s takovejma yobtiZema. To mne peipada, jako ten ptipad s eeznikem Chourou z Kobylis.

Tak ho vzali s sebou a von j im vtechno v separaci rozbil."

Zavodei rozhovoeil se o pokroku, jak lidi na vtechno ptijdou a jeden jak podvadi druheho, rozvinul novou teorii, ze tahle valka je velike ttesti pro lidstvo, ponevadZ v tech pataliich vedle hodnYeh lidi budou odsttelo✓ani take lumpove a darebaci.

"Je beztoho mod lidi na svete," kekl zavoclei, "myslim, ze nam ttamprle neintiZe tkodit. Netikejte nikornu nic, ze vas vedu do Pisku. To je statni taj emstvi."

Pied za,vodeim zataneila instrukce centralnich neadti o lidech podeztelYch a napadnych o povinosti kakle oetnicke stanice: "Vyloueiti ony ze styku s mistnim obyvatelstvem a ptisne dbati, aby neptiehazelo pH doprave dalthn instancim k zbyteenym rozhovortim v okoli."

"To se nesmi prozradit, co jste zad," znova ozval se zavodei, "do toho nikomu nic neni, co jste vyved. Panika se nesmi tititi.

Panika je v techhle dobaeh valeenych zla vec," pokraeoval, "neco se fekne a u2 to jde jako lavina po celem okoli. Rozumite?"

"Ja. tedy nebudu shit paniku", tekl Svejk a zachoval se dle toho, ponevadg kdyZ" hospocisky se rozhc.)votil s nimi, Svejk zditraznoval: "Zde bratr kika, ze budeme v jednu hodinu v Pisku."

"A to ma vat pan bratr urlab?" otazal se zvedavy hostinsky zavodeiho, kterY ani nemrkaje drze odpovedel: "Dnes 11z mu konei!"

"To jsme ho dostali", prohlasil usmivaje se k "vejkovi, kdy' hospodskY: n'ekam odetel, "jenom ne Mdnott paniku je valeend doba."

"Bud'me radi, ze sedime v teple", bylo jeho rozhodne slovo, "tam v zakopech za takove sloty zkuseji vice neg my zde u kamen."

Reports from our Lodges, or any Other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK "Our business is not dedicated to the SALES of life insurance . . . but to the SERVICE of mankind" These words were spoken by a leading field representative of a large life insurance firm recently. Among all the other things the gentleman was giVen when be first started out in the life insurance business was a rate book — a. "present" from his coach. "Yes, a present from me to you but not just a rate book in the way you ordinarily think of one." The coach went on to tell him that when he wai; starting out in the field, he called it his "money book"; the key to money not just money for himself, but money for emergencies, money for widows and orphans, money foe pleasant retirement years, money for college, money for any and all kinds of uses. When he sold, he didn't sell policies, he sold MONEY. • • Money! This is a commodity for which there is always a real need and demand. It is what you sell when you sell life insurance. The demand and need for it is growing day by day!

• How about guaranteeing money for your children's college expenses, or at least enough to get them started well? How is it possible? You simply cash in the policies you have paid premiums on for a number of years, which is nothing more 'than money you have laid aside for this specific purpose, The cash value increases with each year as you pay premiums, and when college days arrive, you use the money for your child's tuition and other expenses. Education expenses continue to mount, both in private and public institutions of higher learning. No one needs a lecture on the wisdom of a higher education. Not too many years back, a Ihigh school education was an absolute must; now even a BA or BS degree finds tough competition in certain fields with those holding Masters or Doctors degrees. So, there is no argu-

ment pro or con on this point — right?

Why do it with life insurance? There are other ways, you know. Yes, if you are sure that you will be around to provide for the saving. The point is: WITH LIFE INSURANCE YOU KNOW THE FULL AMOUNT WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT — EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT. THAT is guaranteed money, isn't it?

• Much has been said about ensuring the future of our youngest citizens — our most precious resource , What better way is there to do that than investing in a planned program of education for them when they attain college age? Here is an agonizing question that WHAT ARE YOU? Are you an active member — the kind that's liked so well.

Or are you just contented with a button in your lapel?

Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the flock, Or do you stay at home and criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part to help the work along,, Or are you satisfied to be the kind that lust belong?

Do you ever go and visit a, brother who is sick, Or leave the work to just a few and talk about the clique?

There is quite a program scheduled that I am sure you've heard about, And we'll appreciate if you, too, will come and help us out.

So come to the meetings often and help- with hand and heart, Don't be just a member, but take an active part.

Think this over, brother, you know right from wrong, Are you an active member or do you just belong?

Sokol Falconite, 'November, 1934

has plagued our country's leaders for many years: how many young people who have special talents and abilities, are not able to continue their advanced studies because of lack of money?

Surveys have been made from time to time, but no one knows the exact figure. The reasons for not continuing a higher education are numerous, but if there is only ONE young man or woman who would like to go to college but cannot, he or she is a wasted resource, and this should not happen.

We need the brains of everybody in this country. True, scholarships are filling a gap that has long been felt, but they are limited to certain fields and are limited in number.

Educational facilities are becoming more crowded; the construction of additional facilities is not able to keep pace with bulging enrollments. The cost of tuition continues to rise, just as has everything else in the country.

In 1945, when we did our first year of college work at a state-supported college, the cost of tuition per semester was $37.50. In succeeding years, it continued to rise; now, at the same school, a university -' level school, the tuition costs $78, considered to be a "bargain" by many schools. Other institutions have raised their tuition costs in proportion. In the 30's a hamburger cost a nickel, but who had a nickel?

What is the point and answer to all this? The point is, unless your parents can set aside part-of the family estate, or an endowment.in the form of ready cash, real estate, etc., the best way to GUARANTEE your future college education is to purchase life insurance that will provide for this contingency.

First, see your parents. Then, ask them to get in touch with your local SPJST organizer. It'll be a smart move. o About Criticism Dale Carnegie once said: "any, fool can criticize, condemn and complain —

VESTNIK

and most fools do!" Bitter criticism IS oftentimes the result of an inferiority complex, and a form of self-promotion.

Many have the mistaken notion that they can e,nhanc.e their own position by pulling others down. Lincoln had this to say about criticism: "If I tried to read, much less answer, all the attacks leveled against me, this office would be closed for all other business.

I do the best f know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the very end. If the end brings me out all wrong, then ten angels swearing I had been right would make no difference. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me now will not amount to, anything."

The man or woman who is never criticized never does anything, and is nothing. The moment we step out from the "do-nothers" and the "neverwasers," or take on added responsibilities there are going to be plenty selfappointed critics ready to tell us how or what to do.

The higher we climb, the more numerous are our detractors.

Criticism must be expected, whether we deServe it or not. We must prepare for it, and if possible, use it to some advantage. The ability to take criticism and GROW with it, is a sign of strength, while the inability to withstand it is a sign of weakness,

Here are the little tots who found eggs: Diana Holy, Arlene Zak, Linda Kay Volkel, Ann Marie Zabransky, and Karen Henneka. The school kids were: Fraqie Woytek, Gloria Woytek, Victoriat Vasek, and Marvin Mikush. The door :prizes went to adults, Elo Sklar, and youth, Kathleen Zak. Those who won the cakes at the cake walk enjoyed them, I'm sure, because all of them look good. I want to thank all for making these cakes.

Our next meeting will be the second Sunday in May, and don't forget the District Six meeting at Sweet Home April 28th.

I remain, Fraternally yours, Mrs. Alvin (Linda) Mikush )O) LODGE NO. 6, COTTONWOOD

Dear Members and Friends: Our regular meeting , was held ori April 7th . It was called to order by our president, Brother John Krizan. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by members of the Youth Club. Speaking of the youth, there certainly was a nice number of them present, and they were all excited about the Easter egg hunt, that was held immediately after the meetings. A nice number of adults were also present.

Brother Krizan asked all those present to stand for a moment of silent respect paid to our departed brother, Johnny Beseda.

Secretary Marie Drews read the names of nine new members, all of whom were accepted into our lodge.

They are: Eloise Mynarcik, Louis Mynarcik Jr., Darvin Hollingsworth, James Bohannon, Robert Leonard, Walter Leonard, Louise Marie Leonard, Thelma Sue Miller, and Steve Thun.

We welcome all of these fine people to our midst.

Congratulations are in order to Bro. Jerry Sumbera, upon his fifty years as a member of SPJST. He was presented with a pin. He has been an active member of our lodge for many years, and seldom misses a meeting.

There were no sick members reported . A sympathy card was sent to the members of the family of Johnny Beseda, who recently lost his life in an auto accident.

President Krizan welcomed some visitors from Dallas and Irving.

'Youth leader Ruth Krizan reported that the box supper, which was held several weeks ago, was very successful. Everyone enjoyed it very much.

Wednesday, April 24, 1963

One member, Sister Mary Krizan, regretted the fact that she couldn't attend the box supper. So she sent a five dollar donation and hoped all the boxes would sell for the same.

Youth Leader, Sister Krizan presented members of the Youth Club with prizes they won in their work in the Youth Club . First prize went to Johnny Krizan, second prize to Jeannette Krizan, and 3rd prize to Bobby Dobecka. She also reminded the members of the Youth Club to start thinking about entering the talent contest.

Brother Krizan called on Richard Mikeska to present Sister Ruth Krizan with a gift for the excellent work she has done in the Youth Club.

President Krizan thanked the men who helped build the barbecue shed and their wives for helping clean up the hall. They were Fred Monthie, John Parma, Joe Sumbera, Walter Mikeska, and Robert Dobecka. He also mentioned the members who were so very generous in donating eggs for the egg hunt. They were Mr and Mrs. Jerome Kaska, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hromadka and Mr. Ed. Hykel.

Mr and Mrs. George Smajstrla donated four prizes to be given to the winners in the Easter egg hunt.

By this time the children were getting anxious to get on with the egg hunt. President Krizan told the youth they would be divided into two groups this year. The meeting adjourned and the Youth Club then held their meeting. A program followed under the direction of Sister Krizan. Then the egg hunt took place with about 130 'ehildren and teenagers having a wonderful time. Last but not least the supper was enjoyed by all Thanks to everyone who helped make it a very enjoyable day.

Fraternally, Mrs. Hilma Mac:ha., Reporter )O( LODGE 47, SEATON Route 4 Telnple, Texas Dear Friends: Most of you know that .none of us is perfect. In my last report, Brother Morris added a few sentences that were in error and that is that our District II fall meeting will be held in Buckholts. Our fall meeting will be held at Camp Tahauya, sometime in September. We have to wait until the Camp officials make out their schedule. It usually is on the 3rd or 4th Sunday in. August. When we are sure

Wednesday, April 24, - 1963 of the date, we will mail it into our District Calendar. We have voted to have our talent elimination contest there too.

The spring meeting will be held in Buckholts. The date will be announced later. Also I wish to state that Anna Rose Divis, who appeared on the program with her mother, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs . Joe Divis, not John as reported. I hope that the ones in; volved in these erros will accept our apologies. Mistakes like these are easily made when everybody wants to help and we must all realize that our editor is new and is not expected to know all of us after the first meeting.

In my report, I did not include all that took place at the meeting because I felt that was the reporter's or secretary's job. (My apologies . Your report and my few notes were the only things I had to work with. — Ed.) Today I am sending our rules for our Queen's Contest. That is the ty pe of dress, etc. As all of you know, we will not accept any more contestants. We usually let the entries come in until the last day, but this year we had a deadline to meet. We have four representatives: Temple Lodge No. 87, Granger Lodge No. 20, Beyersville . Lodge- No. 48, and Seaton Lodge No. 47.

The entries from Lodge No. 87 are: Queen: Sister Jeanette Plsek Escort: Brother Louis A. Sirny Duchess: Sister Cathy Canipe Escort: Bro. James D. Hejl Entries from Lodge No. 20: Queen entry only: Sister Irene Elizabeth Marek Escort: (Unknown as yet) No Duchess Entries from Beyersville No. 48: Queen: Sister Jeanette Batla Duchess: Sister Edwina Cuba Escorts: (Unknown as yet) !Entries from Seaton No. 47: Queen: Janet Cabla Escort: (Unknown as yet) Duchess: Anna Rose Divis Escort: Edwin Joe Pechal We are very proud of these young members and wish that more would be interested. Wouldn't that be a gala affair if all the lodges had a candidate?

These are the rules that you candidates will have to abide by: 1. You must select an escort who is is a member of your lodge.

2. Through 13 years of age for Duchess.

3. 14 to 21 years for Queen.

4. Long formal dresses.

V2STNfl< 5 Date of Ball will be June 29 at Beyersville, Lodge No. 48, at 7 p.m.

6. 1st place winner of District (Queen and King Contest will enter the State Contest for the Queen and King of 1963. This will have no bearing on the Miss SPJST who is selected at our convention.

The lodge having sold the most insurance will be the winner for the Queen, and the lodge selling the second highest will be the , whiner for the Duchess. This will enable more lodges to win.

In my next letter, shall have the rules for our talent contest which will be in conjunction with our State Queen and King's Ball on September 22; (place to be announced later.

We had a nice rain, and farmers are busy planting crops, With sickness in my family, my work has piled up on me. See you all at the meeting.

Dear Members: Since our old hall has been demolished and the new hall is under Ponstruction, our regular monthly meeting was held in the Seaton School building. At this time we wish to express our appreciation and thanks to the Seaton School Trustees for the use of the building while our lodge hall is under construction.

Brother Ed Pechal was the contractor for demolishing the old building, and has done a very good job of it.

Brother Johnnie L. Vanicek is the contractor for the (new hall, and is making marvelous progress with the new structure. Not only do we want to thank these two members, but all the members who helped in moving the

17 furnishings out of the old hall and clearing the land for the new structure, plus all the odds and ends that are too numerous to mention. Everyone that came out was eager and willing to do his share.

Especially do we want to thank Mr. Emil Schovajsa and Mr. John Becka, Mr. Schovajsa- visits our meetings quite often and it is seldom that Mr. Becka would miss being among us at our meetings. These two gentlemen are not members of our lodge, but when the demolishing of the old structure started these two gentlemen came with their hammers and started working, and would not accept any pay for their work. Instead, they donated their time and work to our lodge. That is real brotherly friendship! Thank you, Mr. Becka and Mr. Schovajsal In my previous letter I reported that Bro. Frank Hejl Sr., pledged to loan $100 to the Building Fund. He later informed me that he wants to donate $125 instead of the loan pledge. Other members and friends who made donation pledges and donations to the Building Fund are: Mr. Emil Schovajsa, donated — $ 25.00 Mr. John Becka, donated — — 7,00 Mr. and Mrs. Ervin S. Rusnak, donated — 25.00 The following pledged to donate: Mr. - Mrs. Johnnie L. Vanicek $100.00 Mr. - Mrs . Willie Sefcik — — 10.00 There are members and friends who Seel like they would like to do their part in helping with working in or for our lodge, but are unable because of their occupation or living out of town.

Sisters and brothers, there is one way that you can feel you're doing your part rfight along with us: through donations and loans. We all know that the higher our Building Fund goes, thesmaller the loan will be, and the sooner our new hall will be paid for.

And to those who made donation pledges, we are now accepting the donations. You may forward your donations- to me. ThoSe who made loan pledges, we will get started on those in the near future.

Our next regular meeting will be held the first Sunday in May at 2 p.m. in the Seaton School Building.

Fraternally, Mrs. Ella Haisler, Financial Secretary, Route, 4, Temple, Texas (Congratulations! With the spirit that has thus far been demonstrated, your project should meet with overwhelming success. Much luck! — Ed.)

Wednesday, April 24, LODGE 47, SEATON Temple, Texas Dear Friends, Today I am in the mood to write. The wind is so strong that a person can hardly de anything outside so the best thing to do is to sit in the house and write letters, This is my third one today.

We held our regular meeting on Sunday, April 7, in the Seaton schoolhouse. For most of those present it was more like a reunion with their schooldays. Most of those present attended school here, Some of them expressed their feelings toward certain rooms, the seats they sat in, and one of the brothers stated that he did not like room No. 2 because he ;got : a whipping in that room . Wonder why?

Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved as read. The secretary also read the minutes of three special meetings the officers held during the month. They were approved as read.A motion was made and seconded that we record special thanks and appreciation to Brothers Ed and Jerry Pechal for the use of their power saw to fell some trees in our yard to make room for the new hall.

The building of our hall is progressing nicely. We are very happy over all of the anticipation of having a new hall. We hope that all of you will come to see us when it is completed, New members adinitLed into our juvenile department were: Randall Joseph Pavlica, son of Brother and Sister Johnnie and Georgie Pavlica, Brian Ashley and Beth Marie Vanicek, children of Brother and Sister Johnnie and Laverne Vanicek, We welcome these new members and congratulate the parents.

Brother Tom Sefcik was reported to be on the sick list. We hope for him a speedy recovery, As of now, he is recuperating in his home. . A motion was made and passed that we have a plaque made with the names of the 'officers and the building contractor on it. This plaque will be made of either bronze or marble and will be displayed in the entry of our hall.

We will also have a box inserted into the wall with all the names of our members in this box. If any of you members would like to have a picture put into this box, you may send it to me, since I was elected to serve as a collector of the items to be placed in our corner stone.

Brother F. E. Hejl, Jr., was elected

VESTNf K to be the chairman of the entertainment committee. He, with the help of his wife, will have charge of the booking of orchestras for the remainder of the year 1963 and through 1964. If any orchestra leader reads this letter and is interested in a booking, write to F. E. Hejl, Jr., Route 4, Temple, Texas. We have the names and addresses of some of the orchestras.

Before I close, I wish to state that work on our cesspool will be done by 'Members. This will be done on Sundays, because some of the members who Work in town preferred it that way.

If any of you wish to donate some work, come out Sunday afternoon and bring your shovel.

Our next meeting will be; held in the schoolhouse again on Sunday, May 5. Hope to see you then.

Fraternally, Clara, Hejl, Reporter (Sister Hejl, the picture of the ground - breaking for your new hall will appear in next week's issue.

NATIONAL BICYCLE SAFETY WEEK APRIL 27 - MAY 5

One of the most popular and fastest growing sports in this country — for both children and adults — is bicycle riding. And, because the. Veterans of Foreign Wars maintain a keen interest in sports as a vital Factor in public health, it is now taking advantage of an opportunity to perform a community service of immense benefit as far as bicycle riding safety is concerned.

Through the generosity of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co,, St. Paul, Minn., the VFW is acquiring enough "Scotchlite" reflector tape to institute a national program in which some 2,000,000 bicycles will be made safer for late-afternoon and nightriding. The program is to be administered by the VFW National Youth Activities Committee and will be climaxed by the celebration of VFW National Bicycle Safety Week, April 27 - May 5," 1963.

In this program, to be undertaken

by VFW Posts throughout the country, members will place reflective tape on the bicycles of thousands of ges children and adults. It is a gesture ture reflecting the sincerity of VFW as an organization toy service and the welfare of our country.

Bicycle riding, for young and old alike, requires the same degree of responsibility and adherence to safety rules as does the operation of a motor vehicle, Unfortunately, there are a great num ber of bicycle accidents each year, most of them involving bicyclemotor vehicle collisions. The greatest number of bicycle deaths involve children in the 5 to 14 year old age group.

The National Safety Council .says, four

Wednesday, April 24, 1963 out of five fatalities in bicycle accidents occur during the hours of dusk and darkness.

Of course, most bicycles are equipped with a head lamp and tail lamp, and usually a reflective device on the rear. However, bicycle riding at night may still be hazardous unless additional precautions are taken. The reflective tape that will be applied to bicycles in the VFW program is intended only to be a supplement to the present night safety appliances — not to replace them. The reflective tape will make the bicycle visible to motorists as far as 1,500 feet,

The VFW National Bicycle Safety Week has the full support of the National Safety Council which points out that fatal accidents involving bicycle riders are increasing rapidly from year to year. There are other accidents that are numerically higher in fatalities — drownings, firearm accidents, fires, etc.

— but none have a higher percentage of child fatalities. For example, only 22 per cent of drowning victims last year were children, compared to 70 per cent in bicycle-motor vehicle accidents.

Here is an excellent opportunity for every VFW Post to take an active role in a program that is certain to win acclaim and prestige for the VFW in the community. And this program can be expanded to incorporate any other local group that cares to cooperate.

Certainly other groups will want to take part in such a worthwhile activity, In fact, if there is no VFW Post in a particular community, the VFW National Headquarters will supply safety reflective tape and program suggestions to any organization that wishes to carry out the bike safety program in that community.

(How about some of our lodges?

Editor.)

The National Youth Activities Committee suggests that the VFW National Bicycle Week activities also include an educational program on general bicycle safety to supplement the actual taping of the bicycles. Brochures, including suggestions for a community bicycle safety educational program, have been mailed to Post Commanders.

VESTNIK For example, many Posts will conduct "Bicycle Rodeos," contests to test the proficiency of riders in handling bikes and observing safety rules. An excellent site for such contests would be a school yard after the close of afternoon classes. Also appropriate for the week's observance would be inspections for needed repairs and proper maintenance. The taping program should, of course, be conducted in accordance with local and state vehicular Codes.

For information concerning the 1963 VFW National Bicycle Safety Week, April 27 - May 5, and your order for reflector tape, write to the VFW National Youth Activities Committee, VFW National Headquarters, Broadway at 34th St., Kansas City, Mo. One package of tape contains enough for 100 bicycles. Already, orders have been received for 5,000 of the 20,000 packages available.

AMERICAN BIKE MONTH During the month of May, 1963, the domestic bicycle industry will sponsor the fifth, annual American Bike Month as a tribute to the nearly 55 million cyclists in the United States.

All retailers will offer a free booklet for youngsters entitled "America's All Time 10 Best Bike Games." The booklet contains the nationally accepted bike rules of the road, riding tips, a maintenance chart and 10 games, which, while adding fun, develop safer and better coordinated rides, For more information about American Bike Month write: Bicycle Institute of America, 122 East 42nd St., New York 17, N.Y. —Jack Mathieson, VFW Magazine ) 0(

BREAKAGE IS INCREAING FOOD COSTS What mother hasn't cringed at the thought of her youngster pulling down a towering tier of boxes or bottles at the supermarket.

Yet, no matter how closely she watches, it sometimes happens.

More likely, though, a single can or jar will be dropped. Or just as likely, the damage happens in the backroom.

But wherever the jar is broken or the box ripped open, it costs the consinner money. And in a year, the total national bill for dama ged merchandise is said to run between 30 and 50 million dollars.

To find out where most of the damage occurs and what can be done about it is a current project of retail marketing specialists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

So far, over 3,000 causes of damage have been found . However, 21 of these account for 70 per cent of the loss. And here's where AMS specialists are concentrating their efforts.

For example, they now know that nails sticking out of pallets (wooden platforms on which merchandise is piled in the warehouse) cause 85 per cent of the damage to bagged merchandise. The 'solution, of course, is better pallets or a different stacking method.

It is said that patriotism is the love of country. I think it is the love of the things about your country that you don't want to see lost, that you Want to see perpetuated, and for which you're willing to sacrifice: Patriotism is something for our hearts, a faith, a dedication. — Gen. David M, Shoup.

At the store, damage is almost equally divided between that caused by employes and that caused by customers.

Most of the damage — 19 per cent — comes from opening cases improperly.

New cutting procedures, developed by USDA, should help reduce this loss in the future,

Wednesday, April 24, 1963 DON'T SHIRK RESPONSIBILITY

By Dorothy Roe "The way I see it, what happens to your teen-agers is strictly up to you," says a weary but conscientious mother, waiting outside a jumping teen-age center. "I can't let Debbie go to these clambakes on her own, and I won't let her go in a car with a 16-year-old driving. So I have just set aside about !four years to be a chauffeur. It's tough, but I'd rather do than than stay at home and worry about what's happening to her if she's ten minutes late."

Debbie is 14, and in the midst of a social whirl comparable to that of a New York debutante of a few years ago. She attends at least one and often two dances a week, has riding lessons, dancing lessons, tennis lessons, Hi-Y meetings, church youth group meetings, and a dozen either regularly scheduled activities in addition to informal functions such as a slumber party at the home of a girl friend or a homework session with a classmate across town.

"It wouldn't be fair or even smart to deny Debbie all these things," continues her mother. "I don't think we're spoiling her, either, it's just the pattern of the times. Crazy, but what are you going to do?

"If I made her just stay home, she would develop a persecution complex, and you couldn't really blame her, when all the other kids are in the middle of all this whirl. As it is, I feel lucky that she LETS me drive her wherever she's going and doesn't throw a scene because she can't go with a boy. Most of her friends have about the same rules, and there are several parents who trade duty.

"Sometimes I pick up half a dozen and sometimes another mother picks up Debbie, but I'm always available. I've cut out my bridge club and even most of my women's club meetings, because I can't do everything, and I consider Debbie my private responsibility. When it gets down to a choice between your child and community committees, I say to heck with public service!"

If all teen-agers had mothers like Debbie's, there would be no need for the current national uproad over juvenile delinquency and the teen-age menace, This is a problem that is never going to be solved by the government, the social workers, or all the professional do-gooders now heading the scores of

VESTNIK associations devoted to analyzing and prescribing for the terrible teens.

At present the American teenager is pictured as a monster, ready to destroy our society. Juvenile crime is magnified and held up to public view. The subnormal offspring of criminal parents are held up as typical of all the 20 million people between the ages of 12 and 20 in the United States.

No matter how paternal the government gets — and nobody can deny it's trying to cover all fronts — it can't take the place of individual mothers and fathers in disciplining and protecting individual children. And thank Heaven it can't.

Much of the present furor over adolescent crime is boomeranging into a challenge to the youngsters to live up to their public image.

Let's stop agonizing over the youth of the Congo for a while and take care of our own kids in our own back yard.

• • ADD SPARKLE TO BATHROOM DECOR Tired of your bathroom's same look?

But you are stuck with the tile as a background color for years and years.

Seasonal changes can be made by changing the accessories in the bath.

For spring, eye-catching printed towels give a life.. sleepy-eyed mornings and weary evenings.

Pick up the two most prominent colors in the printed design for coordinating solid tone towels. You can use towels for bathroom curtains too.

Just hem them and slip on brass clips or rings. They are easy to launder and can always be used again as towels.

Use a little imagination in converting your bath into a less utilitarian, more charming place. Framed prints, of flowers or fashions (one woman has put her Go:ley Lady's Book prints in the bath) or real flowers add a nice touch. The humidity of the bath is fine for ivy or African violets.

The bright, gay soaps, in flower or fruit shapes, piled in Pretty plastic or wicker containers (safer than glass) add an aura of luxury and prettiness to the bath. A big fluffy powder puff is an! asset too, as well as utility sponges in varied colors.

Pile rolled up terry fingertip towels in a basket when you're having many guests, so there will always be, a fresh one handy , Choose tissue in color to blend with your bath.

A bath doesn't have to be pastel pretty to be smart, and attractive these

25 days. Bold, bright colors of red, emerald green, royal blue, chocolate brown or orange give the all-white or. beige bath a fresh, look. These colors can be found in stripes and florals in many towels.

Even the pastel pink, blue or green bath can be brightened up with the deeper, bolder colors.

A FAVORITE DIP WITH NEW TWIST Here is a new twist to everybody's' favorite party dip. Make French Onion Soup Dip as usual by combining a package , of the dried soup mix with 1 pint of sour cream and a. dash of Tabasco sauce, if desired, Now, for a deliciously different taste just add 2 tablespoons of capers and 2 teaspoons •hopped chives. Combine gently, but well and let chill for several hours to blend all the flavors before serving.

• BREAKFAST IS IMPORTANT Beakfast, in many ways, is the most important meal of the day . It supplies us with the basis for the morning activities — study, work or play. Meat in the breakfast menu provides high quality protein which gives us that get-up-and-go feeling. It helps to prevent midmorning lag and helps restrict those high-calorie snacks that so often are part of the morning coffee break.

SALADS USE A VARIETY OF VEGETABLES Boost your meals with a switch in salads, suggests Dallas County home demonstration agent Orene McClellan.

Vegetable salads need not be limited to fresh salad greens. Canned and frozen vegetables lend themselves to a variety of salads.

Green beans, green peas, and asparagus are favorites in the canned foods.

Add broccoli to the list of frozen foods.

All may be used to vary the salad menu.

Green Bean Salad 1 Number 2 can beans, small whole green 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped 1 sweet pickle, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoon pimiento slivers 1/4 cup French dressing Combine ingredients and chill before serving. Serves four,

26 Bananas Flambe 4 bananas 1/4: cup lemon juice 1/i cup sugar 4 ounces rum Place peeled bananas in a baking dish, brush well with lemon juice and sp rinkle with sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated 450 F. hot oven.

Remove from oven. Warm rum in a saucepan, ignite and pour over bananas. Carry to the table while still flaming. Serve immediately. Serves r GRANNY'S GLAMOUR MEANS LOVE OF LIFE A friend was introduced at a party as a "glamour grandmother." The description amused her. It started a discussion as to whether the word can have any meaning for an older woman.

"If it means holding on desperately to a vanishing youth, I don't want to qualify," the lady said. "I think there is no sadder sight."

A male guest agreed. "A grandmother who is primarily concerned with being glamorous would be immature, to say the least. Anyone past first youth who has to be told how young and decorative she is hasn't really grown up."

"We all want to look our best to the bitter end," a wmoan suggested. "But we have to face certain changes, such as gray hair, wrinkles and broadening hips. I'm all for cosmetic aids and youthful looking clothes, but those who go to extremes defeat their purpose.

They may fool themselves but not anyone else with the too-tight dress and the overdone make-up."

If this isn't glamour, what is? The question was asked.

The reply summed it up as: A contagious enthusiasm that gets across to others. A continuing interest in people and events, and in life as whole.

A willingness to listen and not nervously monopolize the conversation.

A sense of one's own value, whether others always recognize it or not.

Pride in being a grandparent without worry that it indicates age.

Good grooming and dressing appropriately, and then forgetting the imp ression that is made.

Being one's self and not trying to compete, especially with younger women.

Keeping an open mind and remembering that you can learn at least one new thing from each person you meet.

aids and Gardens

By Otto Hanus It has been said that a home is not a home unless it has a rose bed. With a little preparation any home can have a rose bed and beautiful roses to enjoy. To locate your rose bed it is best to give it a southern exposure, protected from the north and west. If at all possible, keep it away from large trees or hedges because these will rob your rose bed of moisture and fertility. If you must locate your rose bed near large trees or hedges two or three times a year drive a garden spade at least 12 inches deep, straight down around the edge of your rose bed, so as to cut any roots that have found their way into your rose bed.

For the best results, especially where you have soil that does not have natural good drainage it is best to dig out the entire bed to a depth of two feet, then put in an eight-inch layer of crushed stone or good gravel, over which you put in 12 inches of good top soil, well mixed with either peat moss or miracle mulch or sand. (Sand is not needed in naturally sandy soil). If this is done a wheelbarrow full of well-rotted barnyard manure worked into the soil is desirable. In the Spring work in three pounds per 100 square feet of good commercial rose food , Bare root rose bushes may be obtained from your nurseryman, or in some cases your super market may have them from October to March, but a rose bed can be started any time of the year since canned rose bushes are available AT ANY TIME, and are easily transferred from cans into your garden.

Cultivate an even disposition and not fostering old-age touchiness Keeping complaints to one's self or to a certain favored few friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not overdoing it in either case,

Wednesday, April 24, 196:3 To plant bare root rose bushes it is best to soak them in a solution of Transplantone, but fair results are often available if they are soaked in plain water, preferably rain water.

Dig your holes in your bed 12 inches deep at least 24 inches apart. Make a small mound in the center of the hole and after carefully pruning off all undesirable branches ands broken roots, spread the remaining roots over this builtup mound in all directions and fill the hole about half full. Give the rose bush a good watering. After the water soaks in fill in the rest of the hole and tamp down the top dirt well around your bush. After that, you should water each rose thoroughly each week, and it is better to fill the entire bed with enough water to give it a thorough soaking, The best varieties for our Texas climate, the hardiest, and easiest to raise are Hybrid Tea Roses. With good care these will bloom almost continuously from early spring until late winter.

The best Reds are Red Radiance, Etoile de Holland, Rouge Mallerin, Crimson Glory, Mirandy, and Nocturne. The best Pinks are pink Radiance, Briarcliff, Editor McFarland, The Doctor, Paul Neyron and Tiffany. The best Yellows are Roundelay, Sauer Theresa, Eclipse, Golden Sceptor, Lemon Chiffon and McGredy's Yellow. The best Whites are Frau Kral Druschke, Caledonia, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Blanche Mallerin. The best Variegated are Herbert Hoover, Contesa de Sastago, Forty Niner, Talisman and the ever popular Peace. Many of these are available in climbers, which are ideal for covering up a spot in the yard and for privacy. There are hundreds of other roses, both old timers and patented, that may be had. Some are easy to grow; others have to be watched and pampered. In recent years many new varieties have been introduced in practically every color desirable, but the old timers named above will produce beauty for your home with ordinary attention. These I would recommend to every beginner.

After planting there comes the care of your roses. They should be carefully watched for appearance of diseases such as fungus, black spot, and many insects . Most rose diseases are easily controlled with Captan, Terraclor and even wettable sulphur, sometimes. Insect pests are easily controlled with Malathion, Dieldrin or Metixochlor.

All are available in practically every seed or feed store. There are many

Wednesday, April 24, 1963 preparations for both pests and diseases available at a small cost in either powder or liquid form.

Cultivate your roses frequently to conserve moisture and make plant food available for your plants. Don't cultivate in September, because this usually encourages late growth which should be avoided. After the first heavy frost you may prune your roses down to your three or four best canes, and at this time it is a good idea to hill or mound loose dirt around your bushes within 6 inches of the top . This is left around your roses until spring for protection against an unusual .winter. After all danger of heavy freezing is over this soil is raked away from the plants and they are prepared for your regular spring care. As soon as new leaves start appearing work in some well rotted barnyard manure in the top layer of the soil around the plants. If this is not abailable use good commercial plant foods at the rate recommended by the manufacturer.

There are six well-known types of roses, among which the Hybrid Tea roses are the most popular: the Climber, Flouribundas, Grandifloras„ Two Tones and Miniatures. Most of them are available in almost any color to suit your fancy and most are easy to grow. So why not start a rose bed for your home, even a small one, from plants that are available in cans, already growing? A word to beginners who may be ,disappointed with their first blooms: these are never perfect the first year; they will come out in true form the second year. The reason for this is that a plant has to establish itself the first year, and most of the available, food is used by the plant. As the root system develops to take in more food the rose buds also begin to be better, and possess a truer color.

Should you have any other questions, send. them to the Vestnik and we will be happy to answer them for you.

VESTNIK The bank's study lists the following expenditures of this type for 1960: garden tools, supplies and power equipment, $1.8 billions; nursery products, $1 billion; fertilizer and insecticides, $500 millions; and outdoor furniture and barbecue equipment, $500 millions.

This 1960 expenditure total was ,four times the comparable outlays in 1950, the bank estimates, a rate of growth over twice that of all consumer spending during the Fifties. ®, NEW PUBLICATION ON PLANT DISEASES Ever lose a crop, vegetable or flower garden to plant diseases? Chances are good you have. Plant diseases each year are a source of much concern to those who grow plants, say plant pathologists of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

C. Wendell Horne, assistant plant pathologist, and Harlan E. Smith, former plant pathologist, point out in a recently • released publication, B-995, "What You Should Know About Plant Diseases," that plant diseases epidemics have been major causes of human disasters throughout history and cite the "Irish Potato Famine" as an example. More than one million people died because the potato crop failed — ruined by a plant disease, late blight.

The crisis continued from 1845 to 1890 and even today potato growers still are troubled with the disease.

As late as 1946 in the United States, Victoria blight, 'and oat disease, destroyed the best fields of the best varieties in the Midwest. But fortunately, say the pathologists, varieties not hurt by the disease were devolope,d quickly to replace the diseased ones.

The authors discuss plant diseases from many standpoints, including the parts of plants affected and have used illustrations extensively to further explain the material presented. Farmers, ranchmen and homeowners should all find much usable information in the publication, the authors believe.

Copies of B-995 are available from the offices of local county agents or from the Agricultural Information Office, College 'Station, Texas. )0( If troubles could be taken in capsules at regular doses most of us would find them merely boresorne and , habitforming.

For Your Information:.

LUMBER INDUSTRY FACING NEW POTENTIAL Strong prospects for the development of new lumber products and a general advancement of Texas' forestbased economy have arisen from the results of tree studies by a federal research agency.

Commenting on recent field surveys, Dr. Edward G. Locke, Madison, Wisconsin, Director of the United States Forest Products Laboratory, had this to say: "The modern crop of Southern Pine, produced under good forestry practices, has quality as well as quantity.

This quality is exceptional — so much so, in fact that it should lead to many new and improved uses of wood as a building material."

The Forest Products Laboratory is the world's foremost authority on the properties of wood. His statement applies to conditions in the South as a whole, without singling out any particular region or state. However, the findings are being studied with special interest by manufacturers in Texas, a leading Southern Pine lumber producing state.

According to Dr. Locke, federal research studies, have pinpointed the density, strength, stiffness and other properties of the South's principal tree species. These and other findings have led him to believe that Southern Pine is well adapted to the manufacture of pre - assembled structural sections, building 'components and panelized parts.

Much progress has- already been achieved in the development of these engineered devices, designed to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of construction.

Dr. Locke believes wood components could be \made by lumber mills as well as by specialized plants.

He is convinced that the Southern Pine industry's standardization of seasoning will be highly beneficial in engineered design. Seasoning is a process of drying which "pre-shrinks" lumber and greatly increases its strength.

There is quantity as well as quality in the forests of Texas and other Southern Pine producing states, where more than 39 million acres of "tree farms" are flourishing.

Recent figures from the U. S. Forest Service indicate that the growth of Southern Pine "saw-timber" (trees of

Wedr esday,April 24, 1903

VPSTNiK

28 sufficient size and quality for lumber) exceeds removal by at least 30 per cent.

Despite a steady volume of lumber output, the volume of standing timber is increasing every year. The Forest Service predicts the South will eventually become the main source of the nation's lumber supply.

If the prospects envisioned by the Forest Service and by Dr , Locke materialize, the economy of Texas, heavily dependent on timber, would be advanced immeasurably.

At the present time, Texas has 1,100 lumber mills. Forest products manufacture gives work directly or indirectly to nearly 130,000 Texans. The total annual value of lumber, paper, furniture and other forest products made in Texas averages nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars worth a year.

These impressive figures could b greatly increased if the lumber industry succeeds in realizing its new pctential.

Other encouraging signs for the state's lumber economy are: (1) During the first half of 1962, orders, shipments and production of Southern Pine lumber increased 8 per cent, 9 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, over the same period the year before. These increases were indicated by figures from mills reporting to the "Weekly Trade Barometer" of the Southern Pine Association.

(2) Movements of lumber from South to Midwest have been the largest in several years. Recently, a record 62 carloads of kiln dried Southern Pine arrived in Cincinnati for distribution to points throughout the Obio , Valley territory.

—East Texas (Feb. '63) 0 (— FUGITIVES AND EXTRADITION

In recent years, encouraged by easy travel, a number of people in trouble with the law have skipped out and gone abroad. The law, or rather the lack of law, also serves to make such a trip attractive. For international extradition is rare, and world-wide extradition has not yet caught up with the jet age.

When a fugitive runs to another state, extradition is fairly easy: One governor asks the governor of the other state to send the fugitive back home for trial. After a short hearing, the governor usually does this.

But when fugitives flee abroad, international treaty governs extradition.

If our treaty with the foreign country fails to cover the offense, extradition may not be possible since each country

ye

may interpret treaties in its own way.

One rule most often applied is that of "double criminality" by which the offense must be a crime in both the requesting and the asylum nations.

Many countries, especially underdeveloped ones, do not deal with the same kinds of "business crimes" that we do. Everywhere murder and robbery are crimes; but not violations of banking laws, or other kinds of business regulatory crimes and taxes.

Many countries do not extradite for political crimes, but may grant asylum.

In one case Russia sought to get its hands on an escapee charged with murder and arson which occurred in connection with a political uprising.

The U. S. turned down the request claiming the charge was "political in character. " In 1934 Germany sought to extradite a Jew for criminal trial. Again the U.S. refused because the Jew would not be likely to get a .fair trial.

He had been a hatter, a coach and cabinet maker, a grocer, a manufacturer of glue and isinglass.

Then at the age of 39, he became an iron-maker, and after inventing one of the earliest American locoMotives, the "Tom-Thumb," he helped develop the railroad industry in the United States. Peter Cooper was the first manufacturer to use anthracite coal successfully for iron-making, and produced the first rolled-iron structural beams in the United States. Cooper also took an active part in the enterprise which led to the laying of the first Atlantic cable. As the founder of Cooper Union, a free trade-school in New York City, he was one of the pioneers of adult education in the United States.

Interested in social reform, Peter Cooper wrote several books and pamphlets on the subject. In 1876, he was the Presidential candidate of the Greenback Party, a minor party which played a brief part in American politics.

VESTNfK 2,421 DIED IN 1962 ON TEXAS HIGHWAYS The official toll of traffic deaths on Texas highways last year was tagged recently by the Department of Public Safety as 2,421, an increase of 107 over 1961.

Despite increased Itravel, Director Homer Garrison Jr. of the safety department said the 5 per cent increase in deaths on the highways last year raised the rate per 100 million %piles from 4.8 to 4.9.

Garrison said the upward rare of traffic fatalities began last summer and is continuing into 1963 at an even greater rate.

In the first 11 weeks of this year, the death rate was up 11 per cent, with.

364 casualties.

"This trend is especially alarming because nearly as many traffic deaths have occurred in Texas so far this year as compared with the same period of 1956, when an all-time high of 2,611 motorcides were recorded," said Garrison.

"Unless this trend is halted, Texas could well be headed for a new traffic death record — the most deadly year ever on our streets and highways.

"Every driver should take cognizance of the current dangerous trend and avoid all hazardous situations — especially the violator Whose , actions might cause an accident."
