PODPORA LIDSHOST BRATRSTVi 8. KVETNA (MAY) 1963

DNE 12. KVETNA DEN MATEK Oslava Dne Matek yznikla, ye SpojenYch statech v roce 1914 a brzy stala se vlastni celemu vzdelanemu svetu. matekstvi bylo opevovano od yeDruha nedele kvetnova Wan ptinagi tento svatek, svatek nejkrasnej gi. Zasvecen je tern, ktere daly nam zivot a kadS, kdo ma trochu citu v srdci, vzpomina. Vzpomina sve maminky, ktere nic nebylo zateZko udelat pro sve deli a bez vyhrady a bez imavy nosila syym .detem fismevy a svou lasku, i kdyby stokrat byla v nich zklamana.

S pYchou v oku a s modlitbou na rtech k osudu sledovala kakly jejich krileek.

Na vgechno mela omluvu a ye vgem, co jeji deti udelaly, i kdy Van ranily jeji milujici srdce, videla nee° dobreho a stale vetila, ze bude je gte lane. Snad mnohou noc nespala, hlavu do pol gtate tisknouc, aby vzlykotem s yYm nebudila druhYch, ale neptestala doufat, neptestala milovat.

Na srdci matky nejlepe se snilo i kdy' snad od prace ztvrdla jeji dlati, nebylo vetgi slasti, neZ" kdy manainka pohladila vlasky.

Ty nage manly byly nad jine! Pine pocitily lopotu 2ivota. Byly v praci od rana do noci, vatily, gily, spravovaly.

Boty musily bYt vyei gteny, knihy do gkoly v potadku, knoflik nesmel nikde chybet. Udrkovaly eistotu pradla, eistotu domovii, eistotu s ySich (Yeti, pomahaly na polich, v hospodatstvi, temeslech, ze elovek nedovede pocho-

pit, kde na vge bialy eas. vgem pak starosti, aby deti byly zdravy. A kdy piece ptigla nemoc na cite, kdy'Z' v horeekach se potacelo mezi 'Zivotem a smrti, ve chvili, kdy i lekai vzdal se nadeje, jeji laska, jeji obetavost dite vzala hrobati 'ohm° z lopaty.

Aby alespori Cast toho, co maminky jsou, bylo ptipomenuto, mime Svatek matek. Ma jith ptinesti trochu vcieka a radosti. Veky sna gely utrpeni, veky snaaby znovu a znovu tegily, chranily kvot, chranily jazyk, svobodu..

KYTIOCU PRO MATICKU Nez se veer nakioni, tmy dech louku zacloni, tmy dech louku zaciont, trham jegte kytieku, nu — pro jednu matieku.

Znam ji ja — i vy znate, rety jeji libavate.

DraZai jsou neZ zlata lesk, bez nich je jen v svete stesk.

Ne2 se veer nakloni, kytieku chci mit pro IA z kopretin a zvoneekti, stfibrnych smrka koneekti.

Kytieka je psanieko, ze Te rad mam, maminko.

A to rosa ye kvete, ze Tys jedna ye svete.

Slova nej yyjaciii dike. tiny a hvot jejich maji ukazat, '2e maminky maji v lasce. Jsou-li vzdalene sve matky, mej je k tomu, aby mamince• psaly. Odegly-li matky, aby se nevra• tily, at' kvet ozdoloi jejich hroby. ZivYin at' nesou kvety a darky sveho vdeku. At' maji je rady, at' si jich vak, at' k nim jdou. Z mateina prostkedi prinesou si nove sily do zapasu s nevlidnou pritomnosti. Pripomeri jiff", Ze jsou jedinou nadeji sve matieky. A kdo by chtel to zlate srdce materske zarmoutiti, kdo chtel by zklamat jeho nacieli? At' jsou k nim hodne, ne2 ty zlate ruce mamindiny vychladnou.. .

Program k ()slave matek mnohokrate jsme nastinili. Mame pro nej y'ae.

Bylo to po druhe co jsem byl uvnitla Jak ten eas rychle plyne, ani se to nezda, je tomu bezmala 30 rokii, kdyk muj gvagr John Dukatnik Jr. mel vymaven polifeb na SeatonskY Narodni EJrbitov. Tento hrbitov je uclrkovan v dobrem stavu a presto, ae je zvetgovan stava, se pomerne malYm, pri stalem nejen v osade Seaton ale i ze vzdalenej giho okoli.

Pamatuji se ,dobre jakY byl ten hfbitivek a ten kostelieek v roku 1906. Jen cesta je delila od sebe. Habitov byl vymeken z pozemku p. Karla Motla a kostel byl na pozemku Jos. Sefeika.

Od to doby onen kostel byl prestaven a urnistnen na Modnea gim mists a to u hlavni silnice, ktera vede od Temple, pees osady Seaton a abeikville smerem vYchodnim do Rosebud.

Tegilo mne se privitat a neb i jen shiednou mnohe ty zname tvare, jako na pfiklad vYmena par slov, kdya toho Casu na, besedovani nezbyvalo. Snakil jsem se co nejvice vyukit toho volneho okamkiku, jako v peipade v rozmluve s manaely Emil DiviSovymi. Emil si troelm postekoval na ty jeho nohy. Oemuk se nelze piece divit, neb za tech 82 rokii jiste udelaly astronomicky poeet • Na ty zuby ktere si kdysi nechal udelat zubnimu lekari, ke si nemohl navyknout, tak je opatruje co nepoteebnou starokitnost. ja ale vim, ke by si na ne musel navyknout, kdyby chtel zase nekdy foukat do toho jeho baritonu, ktery mel tak rad peed 40 roky. Jinak manaele Divi govi jsou spokojeni na, sve farms v sousedstvi Jos. BlakkovYch ✓ osade Red Ranger, kde se usadill koncem roku 1911.

Jedna pani ktera byla ye SpoleerioSt1 pri rozhovoru jena jsem vedl a DivigovYrai se pkihlasila na slovidko, znala nine, ale ja ji nepoznal. Byla to pi, Albina Ondragkova vdova po zesnulern mankelu Janu Ondra gkovi, ktery jests v mladem Veku odegel na veenost, za,nechav zde mankelku, jednoho syna a dy e dcery.

Piavital jsem se ze spolusestrami spolkovymi: Terezku efeikovou, man2elkou obchodnika Tomge gefeika ze 8efeikville, s Elenorou Muchovou z Temple, mankelka poJosef a Muchy, majitele stolafske dilny v Temple. Frantigka Jekova take z Temple, v pravodu sve sestfiely, take mely dotaz na moji mankelku, ktera se nemohia pohrbu zrieastnit.

S bratrskYm pozdravem. Jan Stata ) ZA BRATREM ALBERTEM REGMUNDEM Telefonicka zprava o amrti bratra Alberta Regmunda nas prekvapila a zdrtila. Vgichni z nas co jsme ho znali, byli jsme presvedeeni, 2e Albert je zdray a nemeli jsme ani tuteni, 2e by to jeho dobre a Lechetne , srdce churavele. Odetel naiad, necelYch 55 let star.

S Albertem odetel dobry otec, mantel, dobrY pritel a nadteny Sokol. skorem celYi sviij Lvot venoval spolkove praci. Byl einnYm elenem jak v radu SPJST, tak i v Sokolske Jednote Corpus Christi. Po =oho radia let byl jejim ndeelnikem az do posledni chvile. Sileastnil se telocvienYch kursu jak Obce Sokolske tak i Zupnich. AC zde rozen, ovladial eettin.0 velmi dobre, hraval divadla a miloval eeskY zpev. Pro jeho milou a ,dobrou povahu, byl velmi obliben jak u dospelYch, tak i mladeL, kterou cvieival.

Znal jsem Alberta skorem 25 let a nikdy noodeprel pomocnou ruku tarn, kde bylo zapotrebi. Bylo radost s nirn pracovat a plamovat spolkove podniky jakeho-koliv druhu, at' to byli verejna, cvieeni, divadla, vYlety neb oslavy.

8koda, ze jsi Alberte jia nevidel, kolik vernYch tvYch pratel, to pritlo doprovodit na Tve posledni ceste na hrbitov a ty krasne kvetiny. Videl by jsi, ze jsi neLl nadarmo a 'Ze jsme Te, men vtichni radi. Ty jsi odetel ale tvilj iasmev a tva eestna painatka ziistane s narni naddle. Bude velmi ite'2,ko vypinit mezeru tvojim odchodem. Pri poslednim pohledu na Tebe, v duch y jsme tiskli stovji ruku na rozloueenou, prali Ti klidneho a zaslouZeneho odpoeinku a loueili se s bratrskYm a sokolskYin if Nazdar!

Na Ceskem jihu cllouho a clloulto nebylo 'Ceske stredni Skoly, nebot' na gymnasiu v C'eskYch Budejovicich vyueovalo se nemecky. Kdo se ehtel yzdelati na Ceske stredni Skole, odchazel do Prahy nebo do mest jOte vzclalenejAich.

Mezi ty, kdo teSee nesli krivdu, jaka byla timto rozhodnutirn spachana na Ceskem lidu, patril i budejovickY biskup Jan Valerian Jirsik. Bez vahani si uminil, Ze zaloZi Ceske gymnasium syYm vlastnim nakladem. Dne 27. Unara, 1868 predloZil mestskemu firadu plan nave gymnasijni budovy.

Opatovieti byli hrdi, ze byli mezi pr y -nimobce,ktrpivezlystao.N tom vSak nemeli dosti. Sousedy Krejzu a Lexu vyslali do Budejovic, aby oznamill stavebnimu, vYboru, ze opatovicko, obec dodo k stavbe take zakladni kamen. Nabidnuti bylo ochotne,prijato.

Bylo ustanoveno, Se zakladni kamen bucle pololen ye stredu 22. ,dubna. Ze vS• ech konein Ceskeho jihu se • hlasili jednotlivci, spolky, rnesta 1 vesnice, se dostavy k slavnosti.

Radosti bylo pohledeti na tuto vYpravu. Kona se jen leskll, hfivy propleteny byly fabory, postroje zanily v slunci. U kamene zaujaly misto elyfi druZieky v krojich a kdy'Z' se dostavil zpevackk spolek z Hluboke, hnul se pestrY prrivod k Budejoyierina.

Tisice a tisice lidi oeekavalo v Budejovicich prijezd vozu se zakladnim kamenem. Cele mesto bylo svateene vyzdobeno a vinilo se rieastniky slavnosti.

A kdyZ zakladni kamen byl vezen na stavengte, byl -ach yatnY pohlecl na jeho prrivod. Slunce hralo a svitilo na statne jundky v sedlech, no pestre kroje naroclni, na belounke druZiely, na lesy praportii a korouhvi.

The First Conjugation: The verbs that belong to the first conjugation generally end in "ati." In the above vocabulary there are two such verbs, "davati m and "volati." To conjugate them we take off the ending "ati" and add the verbal endings as follows:

davati — to give Singular 1st person divam, I give 2nd person divas, you give 3rd person diva, he, she, or it gives Plural davame, we give davate, you give davaji, they give 2. The negative verb in Czech is formed by prefixing the particle "ne" before the verb.

Example: "ne" plus the conjugation of "bYti," to be Singular 1st person nejsem, I am not 2nd person nejsi, you are not 3rd person neni, he she, or it is not Plural nejsme, we are not nejste, you are not nejsou, they are not Note that the third person singular is different. It is "neni" instead of the expected form "neje".

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ON MOTHER'S DAY It is appropriate that Mother's Day has been included in May, the month of blossoming lilacs, the month of love.

For there is, no living being on this earth, who is capable of giving so much love and care as mother. And there is no other name that sparks such happiness in our eyes and warmth in our heart.

Not only small children with chubby unskilled hands cut out paper hearts and flowers which they decorate with colors and verse, expressing their love for mother, but even adult men, who daily labor with machines or sit at a desk, will remember on this Sunday to present Mother with a bouquet of flowers or some other token of love and appreciation.

For what would we be without her, without her care and love? She guided our first hesitant steps and taught us to babble our first words. And one of these first words which embedded deepest into our hearts, was—Mama.

We clung to her skirt when the neighbor's pup was after us and we snuggled in her arms when sleep or fatigue overcame us. How eagerly we listened to her stories and how we ran to her with every little thing. She always knew how to help and had an answer.

How many times we angered and tormented 'her, how many worries we often caused her with our silliness and selfishness — always she found an explanation and many a time an excuse.

When she punished, she punished justly.

Next Sunday, we shall thank mother for all slae has done for us. And do believe even if it is the smallest bouquet of flowers which we present her, she will appreciate it as much as any expensive gift.

How often in our lives did we feel free to • confide in our mother? She seemed to have the softest, tenderest heart. Who complained the least of her

NONE GREATER When nobler deeds are to be done , ...just who is there to do them.... when rougher roads are to be trod.... who is there to pursue them....when Skies above are overcast. .who finds the silver lining ....and who will shelter us from rain....when stars have ceased their shining....when failure hangs its gloomy crepe....who is there we can turn tO....and when we overflow with tears.....who is there, we can learn to....or when success is in our grasp....who gives the faith we're needing.... and who is there to comfort us....when deep inside we're bleeding....who is there who will share all things....without asking a favor....when life is bitter cold and tart....who gives it sweeter flavor.... when we approach the journey's end ....who weeps like no other....one person in the whole wide world....

God's priceless gift, a mother. ills, aches and pains? Mother, of course.

Our mothers deserve all the praise, honor, and tribute we can offer them on this Mother's Day. They, with God's help, gave us the very breath of life, bore the cares of childbirth, and nursed us through many trying hours of 'tender infancy. Often a deep fever

played games with our young lives, hovering sometimes between life and death itself. Our mothers were right there all the time. Later in life, they taught us codes of behavior, .4noral codes., When, we failed to follow her expert advice we often paid for it dearly with hours of menial anguiSh and frustrations. How much suffering and hardships mother had to subject ., herself to before we waxed strong into young man or womanhood!

Mother was caretaker, custodian, and guider of our very souls.' The 'family is the foundation of mu society, and the mother is the column or pillar 'upon which the family builds its permanent pundation,,Those who have grown to manhood with out the aid and benefit of a mother- realize how much' tougher everything' was 'to cope-with.

Those--who were blessed with a 'mother until their maturity know and appreciate the value of her counsel and guidance. Loss of life is always a sad loss, but when that loss involves the mother, the tragedy seems overWhelmingly hard to bear. Lack of gratitude, unfaithfulness, and disobedience' discouraged mother only temporarily, for before long `she was back in the fight, trying to soothe, calm; pacify, and'heal the wounds with the balm of everlasting love. God must certainly not look kindly upon one who abuses and mistreats his mother. She is His own-agent here on earth, entrusted with the care of His children.

Mother bore with us our sorrows, our griefs, our pains, and yes, our laughter.

When the whole world collapsed upon us, mother was there to comfort and encourage. She awakened us from our lethargy, from our disappointments, and our sorrows. She was so good at , this!

Whether our younger days were filled with joy or shrouded with burdensome sorrow, one thing is for sure: our mother helped us alleviate that which

VESTNIK

troubled us, and made our lives fuller, richer, and easier to cope with.

Those fortunate enough to have their mothers still in their midst, will have the grand and glorious opportunitunity of embracing them in a hug of ultra-fond affection on this MOther's Day. They should honor their mothers on all days, but this day is very speci,d, and they hrould make mother feel '1,1cal. way, Nothing is too gocid, but being the great person that she is, she w al he content with a kiss, an ern4 and perhaps a corsage, bouquet ci fitiwars, a picture, or Something in size but big in intention and meaning.

To those not fortunate in having their mothers in their midst, some :token of remembrance should be made — a wreath or flowers on her grave, a moment of silent prayer, or a rose in front of her picture on the mantel,piece. She would understand, and so will God. Whatever our station in life, whether : still with us or in God's embrace, let us not let Mother's Day, 1963, pass without some tribute, large or small, to our great mothers, the greatest Thiel-ids we'll ever have.

Mothers everywhere, we love you, and we salute you! )O(

A time for remembering Proudly look back upon that day of triumph on the European front of World War IL Humbly remember victory's cost in brave lives lost. Firmly resolve that the freedom so dearly won shall forever be preserved.

As the year 1915 began, no one could be sure when the fighting was going to come to an end, although it was plain to many people, including our two principal adversaries, that they really had no chance of winning. As the early months of 1945 pasted, Soviet troops occupied most of Eastern 'Europe, while American and British contingents crossed the Rhine and moved toward th e center of German y , and indeed were to go as far at the interior-Of Czechoslovakia.

There was no longer any real authority to speak for Germany, for it had been fairly well established that Adolf Hitler died by his own 'hand in the bunker under the Reichschancery, in April. He had passed the reigns of government, such as it was, onto Admiral Doenitz, and it was he who undertOok the overall responsibility of surrendering and capitulating to the Allied Arinies. The terms of this surrender were made public on May 8th, and that date has since become known as V-E Day, Victory-in-Europe Day. Let (7,S men, now in 1963, stop and ponder this momentous occasion, this historic day, when one phase of the costlieSt, bloOdiett, life-destroying struggle, finally came to an end — on soil that had been soaked with the crimson sacrifices of thousands and thousands of Americans and Allied young battle victims.

'This day should take ' its place alongside other historic dates. We should likewise reflect upon these things, re-evaluate history in the light of these untold sacrifices. We must honor those dead who made the supreme sacrifice, and pray that they, too, s!1-)all not have died in vain.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat .

You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea,. land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word; It is Victory, Victory at all costs, victory, however long and hand the road may be; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, for without victory, there is no survival.

—Winston Churchill We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end.

We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and ocean's, whatever the cost may be. We seall fight on the beaches. we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall NEVER SURRENDER . , . —Winston Churchill

If you visit our hall late Saturday night, you will see all the effort that is expended to give you, the customer, the best meal possible. So we again extend nn iris vitation to all to visit with us on Mother's Day. I would like to thank all the wonderful friends and members who attended our Easter Sunday celebration. We had' lone of the most successful Easter egg hunts that we can remember. About500. to 700 eggs were hidden on our picnic grounds and about 100 children entered the hunt. To bring the very small children on, an equal basis with the larger ones, we separated them into two age groups. Each group had four prizes. The first prize was a live bunny donated by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Svec. Other donated gifts were: large, beautiful, sugar eggs by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Filipp; a large chocolate chicken

by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hruby, and a live chick for a first prize for the younger group.

We now have an outside flag as well as two inside flags; third, we are going to have a dance in honor of the graduate class of "63."

I have just two years to go before I graduate from Richfield High School in Waco. When I finish my high school education I plan to go to colege where I will study four more years to become a nurse. Yes, that is my wish, and I Lope to do so -when, I finish high school.

School is almost out and the year has gone past so fast that it just seems like it was yesterday when I started to school. With school 'coming' to a close there will be many activities.

With little news I guess I had better close and study some mote, because finals are coming up in two weeks and I like to be prepared for finals.

Yours very truly, Jean Spence LODGE 66, WACO

OTTO HAWS I am often asked what the best flowers are for our Texas climate, and I would like to point out that most any flower can be successfully raised in Texas. About the only flowers you should leave to the professionals are flowers that require constant moisture, shade, special soil, etc., that you cannot provide. Such flowers require tedious care and constant attention to be successfully developed. The following flowers are easy to raise, are beautiful, and will bloom profusely with just average care: Anemone, Candytuft, Chrysanthemums, Gerberas, Salvias, Asters, Zinnias, Marigolds, Scabiosas, Violas, Calendulas, Verbenas, Phlox, Petunf,as, (Ween's Wreath, Alysium, Ageratum, Snap Dragon, Begonias, Carnations, Delphinuins, Mornin g Glory, Larkspur, Pansies, Sweet Williams, Stocks, Cannas and many others.

If your first trial with flowers is not successful don't get discouraged, try again. Check on the culture shown on your seed packet and you will probably find your mistake.

FLOWERS FOR DRYING Many summer and winter grown flowers and grasses can be cut and dried for winter bouquets. These are the Celosias (Cockscomb), Gomprehenias., (which we Czechs know as "slamjenki") some call them bachelor buttons, and they come in many colors.

Cut and dried at the peak of color they hold their color brightly for many months. Gypsahilas are also a good flower for drying. Cut-the flowers just before they fully develop because they open fully during the drying process.

Once you cut them strip off the lower leaves, tie them into neat bunches and hang upside down in a cool dark place for drying. This will keep the color bright and the Stems pliable for working into bouquets later. Make the

bunches small so air can freely circulate through them while drying. , FLOWERS FOR SHADY PLACES The following flowers love shady places and will do their best on the north side of your home. First in my heart is the gorgeous hydrangea, sold by lower shops at Eastertime; next comes Camelias, which also like a shady spot, and with a little patience will produce blooms that will make any flower grower's heart beat with pride and joy. Begonias also like a shady spot, as do Bleeding Hearts. and Fuchsias; Violets and Primulas also love shady spots and there are hundreds more offered by the seed houses from every part of the world. Most of the shade-loving plants also like an

25

acidic condition and should be planted in beds that have peat moss worked into make the soil airy and light.

FLOWERS FOR DIRECT SUN There are many types that do well in the hot sun. The best sun-loving varieties are all the Verbenas, Portulacar, Gerberas, and Yuccas. These will laugh at the hot sun and bloom profusely with very little care. Try a few now; there is still time to plant most of them for summer blooms.

HANGING BASKETS If you have a semi-shady spot either on your porch or under a shade tree, a well kept hanging basket can be a lot of joy. These can be planted with Ageratum in many shades of blue, Lobelia, Nierembergias, and for a sun-

ny spot you can use Lantanas. They come in many shades of orange and yellow and variegated varieties, Verbenas, Petunias. Most of the above are upright growing plants but are adaptable for hanging baskets. The following are trailing or hanging varieties: Mumnidia, Linaria, Thunbergia and Asparagus Springheri, all of which do well in hanging baskets. For a practical and no cost hanging basket take an old auto balloon tire, and cut out three-fourts of it at the rim then cut out three-fourths of the body, leaving the rims for hanging handle, You can paint the lower part one color and the handle or rim in another, and,you have a hanging basket that will last for many years and all it will cost you is

CLIMBING FLOWERS

You Might want to hide some old building Thom :public : view , and this is very easy to do. Just drive two piecesof '-pipe ,, down the distance you would like to hide, and if you don't have any Old chicken wire, ordinary binder twine will do for one season. In using binder twine use a piece of half inch lumber on each end of your pipe and as you wind the binder twine tightly around :about 4 inches apart drive a sinall . --staple to keep the twine from slipping as your vines grow. Work up a good bed 12 to : 20 inches wide right under the wire or twine and plant it to Morning Glory. The best variety is Heavenly Blue with Scarlet O'Hara the next best. If yea don't like Morning Glory you can use AmpelopSis, Cypress Vine, Scarlet Runner, and further north Clematis (lees fairly well. You can combine usef illness and plant this with pole :Lima or Kentucky ,Wonder beans, which will not only hide the spot you wish, but also produce enough green beans to feed the family. In this you can vc: your imagination and by looking l lichugh :c,1 in of your seed catalogs you can Lad of hers that will do the job to perfection. In making up your bed leave it below the surface so you can flood it well when needed and you will be rewarded with plants that will thrill you. cur K!'1!T1:TAS FLOWERS' To have flowers for Christmas you should start planning your plantings now. To have flowers for Christmas you should plant Snapdragons in June and July; Begonias also in July; 'Calendulas not later than late September; Pansies in July and August.

Who doesn't love pansies? There are many colors and varieties and are easy to groW; Myosotis not later than June; Schigantus not later than September. There are many spring and summer flowers that will stand some cold, and could, with a little protection, produce flowers for Christmas.

Some of these are Alysium, Clarkias, Delphiniums, Gerbera Daisies, and many others. With a little effort you

can have flowers for Christmas this year. If you don't plant anything else plant several varieties of Calendulas about the last of September; they can be planted in an open garden spot.

Before you plant them be sure to work your soil good and deep with a spading fork, or if you are fortunate to have a roto-spader, work the bed good and )loose; work in a little well-rotted barnyard manure or some all-purpose comm(ircial fertilizer and you will cut all shades of yellow and orange flowers well into January.

The house plants you've enjoyed all winter can go outdoors for the summer, then move them back inside next fall, healthier and prettier. Build a box the width of your window, put in a deep layer of peat moss then sink the pots in it.

PESTS

While growing flowers always be on the lookout for pests. Most of them are easily controlled by spraying with lVfalathion, which is about the best allround. insecticide and easy to use.

When you have plants that you have taken good care of and they are not doing well, start looking for bugs, and nine times out of ten you will find them. Another good all-round insecti cide that controls most sucking insects is Rotonone. It is also the best to control fleas and it is safe to use; just dust on your pets well under the hair and in their beds and you will not be troubled with fleas.

And remember â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The old saying by a wise Prophet that no where on earth are you nearer to God than in a well-kept flower garden. )O( Good to know: To entertain most people all you have to do is listen.

For The Housewife MAKE YOUR OWN MAYONNAISE?

Safflower oil, now widely available, is getting a good bill of health.

It is one of the poly-unsaturate.d oils that tend to lower blood cholesterol. According to Dr. Frederick T. Zugibe, author of the recently published cookbook, (Tat, Drink and Lower Your Cholesterol" (McGraw-Hill), the advantage of using safflower oil is that it contains more poly-unsaturated tatty acids per calorie than any of the other similar oils.

Use safflower oil in two salad dressings to accompany fruit salad. One, a French dressing, and one mayonnaise.

If you want to try safflower oil in French dressing, use your own recipe or a mix. If you'd like to make mayonnaise with safflower oil, here is a recipe: Safflower Mayonna se

3 egg yolks 3/4 to 1 teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon dry mustard 3/4 teaspoon paprika Pinch of cayenne 4 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 3/4 to 2 cups (14 to 16 ounces) safflower oil Beat yolks until thick and lemon colored; beat in salt, !mustard, paprika, cayenne; slowly beat in the vinegar.

Beat in part of the oil. l/4 teaspoon at a time, make sure that it is combined before adding next amount. When mixture has thickened, beat in remaining oil, 1 teaspoon at a time in the same way. Makes about 2 3,4 cups. Refrigerate in a tightly covered jar. Store several hours or overnight before serving to allow flavors to blend.

TEXAS FOOD NEWS

Lettuce, onions, potatoes and carrots provide best-buy opportunities at Tex-

Wednesday, May 8, 1063 as fresh- produce markets this week.

Also available in good supply at reasonable wholesale cost are cabbage, celery, cucumbers, greens and green onions, radishes and yellow squash, according to fruit and vegetable market news offices of the Agricultural Marketing Service.

Prices at many markets are higher than a week ago on cabbage, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes and potatoes. Lower price tags prevail on green beanS, cucumbers, onions, okra, squash and and blackeye peas, as harvested in South Texas increases. Asparagus and beets are reported in light supply at some markets.

Apples and bananas continue in abundance at attractive prices. Volume of fresh, pineapples, watermelons and cantaloupes is increasing noticeably.

Dry weather reduced early strawb-erry shipments but recent rains should help provide enough to meet normal needs. Louisiana berries are decreasing rapidly. Prices are higher at some markets. Canned freestone peaches and canned ripe olives likely will continue plentiful all May, as stocks are heavy.

THOSE, RAIDS MAY AIDS, Don't worry about frozen foods thawing while Junior raids the refrigerator.

Opening the outer door of a conventional refrigerator actually lowers the temperature in the cold-storage area, say household equipment specialists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

The reason? A rise in temperature in the general-storage space activates the thermostat. And, because the evaporator coils "surround" the low-temperature space, the frozen_ food gets the benefit of the lowered temperature in these coils.

SLIM DOWN SALAD DRESSING 1 tall can (1 1/3 cups) evaporated milk 1/3 cup vinegar 1 package salad dressing mix (blue cheese, garlic, herbs, French or Italian, or onion, paCkaged mix) 1 teaspoon sugar Put evaporated milk in 1-quart jar or bowl. Gradually add vinegar, :stirring constantly. Add salad dressing mix and sugar; shake or stir until blended.

Store in refrigerator. Serve over mixed' greens, vegetables; seafood, meat, 'Poultry or fruit salads or toss with cabbage for coleslaw. Makes two cups dressing.

VESTNfIC U.S.D.A. AND FRESH PRODUCE INSPECTION Have you seen any prepackaged fresh fruits and vegetables carrying an 'official USDA quality grade and the phrase, "Packed. under continuous inspection of the U.S. Department of Agriculture?"

Here's what the seal and the continuous inspection statement means to you. They are your assurance that the produce was packaged under the watchful eye of federal or federal-state inspectors.

The inspector is a highly trained specialist on fruit and vegetable quality. He checks each shipment of produce as it arrives at the packing plant, and watches while it is graded and packaged in consumer-sized packages.

He makes sure that the continuous inspection marks are used only on packages of good quality produce. The marks aren't used if he finds any objectionable defects, or anything that might materially lower the quality before it reaches the consumer.

Finally, he makes sure the produce going into each package meets the official U.S. standards for the grade marked on the label.

Continuous inspection of fresh fruits and vegetables is a relatively new service, offered to prepackagers

by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service.

It is completely voluntary, and so is the use of the official marks. The prepackager asks for the service and pays the costs because it gives his customers added assurance of 'good quality.

Sanitation also is stressed heavily under continuous inspection. When a packer applies for the service, AMS first makes a thorough study of his packing plant — to make sure he can meet the rigid sanitation standards.

Then, the inspector station in the plant makes daily sanitation checks in all the packing and storage areas and examines all the equipment. His report ,goes directly to the plant management if anything needs to be corrected.

Continuous inspection begins when the fruits and vegetables enter the as the name implies plant and continues through until they are packaged for the consumer.

What's the reason for all this care ,ful inspection? Each package carries assurance of its wholesome high quality — the U.S. grade label and the statement, "Packed under continuous inspection of the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

CLEAN TILE FLOORS WITH CARE Resilient tile flooring may not be all things to all homeowners but it can provide the answer to most flooring problems, according to the tile men.

W. A. Drisler Jr., vice president of a F. Goodrich Oonsumer Products Marketing Division, said installation of a resilient tile floor covering anywhere in the home not only will change the entire appearance of the room but will cut down hours of wearisome maintenance.

Today, Drisler said, there is a complete range of colors, patterns and textures to permit selection of a tile to suit any situation. "Of course," he said, "there are some do's and don'ts. For example, solid colors — particularly very light or very dark — tend to show dirt and skuff marks more quickly than intermediate colors or patterns.

The character or me room Invariably dictates the choice of tile color and pattern. The tile that works wonders in the kitchen undoubtedly won't contribute toward a gracious living l'roW enl. he"ther you choose a solid color or

pattern and whether it be light, dark or intermediate, the most important thing after installation is normal care of tile. .

Drisler, whose company produces a range of domestic and commercial flooring tile in vinyl, vinyl asbestos, asphalt, rubber and agatine (a mixture of vinyl and rubber), says that although normal tile maintenance is simple there are a few rules that should be followed.

No new floor ever should be washed until the adhesive that "cements" the; tile to the sub-floor has had time to

dry and set. The cements used for various tiles differ, he pointed out. For vinyl asbestos or asphalt, for example, Drisler said, it is best to wait about two weeks before wasIaing. On the other hand, rubber tile can be washed in about a week. If the floors are used heavily during the waiting period and require at least some cleaning simply sp onge them with a ,damp mop.

After the waiting period, maintenance consists chiefly of sweeping or vacuuming and washing. For sprinkling results with rubber, asphalt and vinyl asbestos tile, Drisler said, waxing from time to time is recommended.

The best way to tackle this task, he suggested, is to apply a water-emulsion wax with a lamb's wool applicator, using long, straight strokes. An electric polisher makes the buffing task simple but a dry, soft cloth and elbow grease also will produce a gleaming finish.

Specific stains require particular attention, Drisler said. Crayon and pencil marks — almost trademarks in Twines with small children — should be scraped lightly, then removed completely with cleaning fluid or soap and water. Gummy marks can be removed the same way.

Spilled shellac or varnish can be removed with alcohol; paint and enamel stains with turpentine.

Final word of warning: Drisler urges that tile be kept well swept at all times so small particles of grit and gravel re not ground into the surface.

While unmarried women tend to be more vulnerable to cancer of the breast, it is married women who most often suffer from cancer of the cervix, a medical authority declared recently.

Dr. Arthur T. Hertig of Boston, guest speaker of the Dallas Southern Clinic speaker of the Dallas Southern Clinical Society Conference, added that cancer of the breast is the most frequent form of cancer in women. Cancer of the cervix ranks second.

Dr. Hertig,,Shattuck Professor of

Wednesday.-May 5, 190 Pathological Anatomy and head of the department of pathology at Harvard Medical School, spoke each day of the conference.

He spoke on detecting pre-cancerous lesions before they become malignancies. This is done by removing a bit of tissue for examination. It is painless, he said in an interview.

He encourages women to get yearly checkups. Cancer of the cervix seems to strike particularly at women who become mothers as teen-agers.

One New York State study, cited by Dr. Hertig indicated an incidence of 35 cases, of cervix malignancies in 100,000 females of all ages during a 2-yearperiod.

He said in the 35-year to 45-year age group the percentage rises. But cases in this group might have been prevented if victims had submitted to tests for pre-cancerous lesions as much as 10 or 15 years earlier, he indicated.

Tissue goes through a series of changes, often years before becoming cancerous, he said. It is during this period that cures can be virtually guaranteed 100 per cent. After cancer of the cervix develops the cure rate falls to about 45 per cent, he said.
