Kdy" roku 1914 Nemecke vojsko vzniklo 'do Francie, tisice francouzskYch dobrovolnika hlasilo se k jeji obrane.

Take jednomu z leteckYch oddilu byl pridelen takovY novaeek. Poddilstojnik, ktery ho uvadel do sluky, prohliZel si s nediiverou jeho postavu i bledou tvak, ale usmiken pohiedem, zeptal se: "Jak se jmenujete?"

Dobrovolnik vyslovil jrneno, ktere znelo ye francouzskem hovoru trochu cize.

"Podle jmena nejste asi Francouz?"

"Jsem Slovak."

"Slovak? Nikdy jsem o Slovacich neslyklf. A jak se stalo, ze vas cizince — zakadili 'do francouzskeho pluku?"

"Nejsem cizinec. TJz dam) pied valkou jsem zdomacnel ye Francii a phjal take jeji obeanstvi."

Poddastojnik se jn nevyptaval fa pHjal novaka do sveho oddilu. A bledY, jakoby neduavy novaeek chapal se tu vSech praci ochotne. Posluhoval, sametal, myl, uklizel, cistil motory, fkadou praci, byt' byla sebe nepatrnefg, yykonal pkesne a poctive. Netrvalo dlouho a vycvieil se i v beta a mistrovsky ovladal svaj stroj.

V tu fdobu se ji'Z schylovalo k bitve u mesta Arrasu. Ve stanu francouzskeho velitelstvi konaly se k ni v6Ine pfipravy. Byl take vyslan velik* poeet aby vyzkoumali postaveni a silu n.epkatelskSTh plukt. I na g Slovak ji2Z krouM nad nemeckSimi vojsky. Pozoruje, jak jsou rozloleny jejich east, jak je pooet jejich ninZstva a jakou aloha budou miti v boji podle sveho umisteni, yYzbroje a seffadeni. Co zjistil, zakresluje do mapy presne a spolehlive.

Nepratelske kule sviSti za letadlem, letec vAak pozoruje, znamena a kresli Iklidne, jako by pracoval v bezpeenem Vi, ze zaludne stiely posilaji za nun smrt a'Z do oblaeilYch vySin, ale jeSte Zlveji si vzpomina., ze jeho vVzkumy snad ji.'Z zitra rozhodnou o viterstyi nebo prorace. Nevraci se tedy, dokud n.evypatra a nezaznamena y §e, co bylo innZno s letadla zjistiti prostym okein neb dalekohledem.

Po jeho navratu bylo ye francouzskem stanu zivo. OdvanY Slovak prines1 podrobne zpravy take o ea.stech fronty, Ikam se ostatni letci neodvaZili.

Velitelstvi tedy melo Upiny Obraz o nepkatelskYch pripravach a mohlo vypracovati pro bitvu spolehlivY plan. A skuteene! Bitva u Arrasu, svedena, potom podle yYzkumu slovenskeho letce, skoneila pro Francouze vitezne. A zdar tohoto boje ziskal mu znamenitou povest a francouzskYch vojeviideft.

Timto odvalnyrn letcem byl Milan Rostislav Stefanik, syn evangelickeho farai:e v KoSiariskach na Slovensku.

Jako nadan* mladik oddal se studlu hvezdaIstvi nejdkive v Praze, pozdeji V Pafgi. Vynikal pM tom dunlyslern vytrvalosti, takk mu &elle spoleenosti svefovaly dalaite fakoly. Na vedeckYch . YYpravach nav'Stivil postupne ykchny dily sveta a prinael odevAak cenne poznatky.

Ale nadzemske vY giny, ackoli ho kouzelnou moci, nepketrhaly jeho svazkii se svetein pozemskYm. I kdy' se v my glenkach yznagel v clalavach vesmiru, srdcem dlel u sveho naroda a jeho osudu. Piilis dobie znal a pfilig bolestne. citil porobu, v niz byl dorna udrMvan jeho bratrsky lid. A kdy. ' se rozpoutala vichfice svetove valky, poznava maid* hvezdaf., ae pfgla chviie, kdy je nutno rozbokiti habsburskou ii si a na jejich rozvalinach vybudovati novY Mvot pro jeji utlaeene narody. Bylo mu jasno, ze zejmena statisice Cechil a Slovakii, kteii aiji za. hranicemi

4 Rakousko-Uherska, museji se spojiti k odboji a nasaditi i tivot pro osvobozeni vlasti. Takovou povinnost ulotil PredevSim sam sobe. Proto nevahal ani okamtik a prihlasil se do bojujici armady spojeneckeho naroda.

Milan Stefanik se narodil v r. 1819, IT chucle vesniece Ko'Sariskach u Brezove ✓ Nitranske stolici. Zprvu pirsobil jai) ueenec hvezcldr ve F'rancii. Na poeatku svetove valky vstoupil na bojire a organisoval legie. Za velike zasiuhy, ktere mel vedle Masaryka a Bene'Se o osvobozeni eeskoslovenske republiky, jmenoval jej oesky narod jeSte v cizine ministrem vojenstvi.

V .kvetnu vracel se do vlasti v letadle.

NeWastna nahoda se stala, a pochovan byl 10 kvetna na vrchu Bradlo u sveho rodiSte. DEN SIVEUTKU Nevyzpytatelne jsou cesty osudu! Nak podunajska strat, nak kraska. Bratislava zdobila se, aby privitala sveho milaeka, nakho narodniho hrdinu, generala a ministra doktora Milana Rastislava Stcfanika ,vecice a vojevildce, jednoho z tvtircti naSi samostatnosti.

S vladnich budov vialy bilooervene prapory, jimi obeas lomcovaly zloyestne zachvevy vetru, nektere budovy mely portaly vyzdobeny ealouny v narodnich barvach a v srdcich vkch horela ha pozdraviti naSeho velikeho hrdinu.

Nalioda zavedia mne v tyto dny do Bratislavy. Jit v sobotu byl oeekavan ministr Stefanik, ze priletne z Italie.

Lee den ten rozvaAnily se tivly; od noel do veeera destila nebesa proudy vod, vita skueel a bienval studenYml krapejemi chodce; silnice se premenily v moealy. Toho dne nikdo neveril, ze by bylo monose odvatiti na dalekou pout vzduchem ze severni Italie at do Bratislavy.

Lee zatim mela jit presidialni kancelar ministra dr. Srobara zpravu radiogramem, ze general Stefanik odletel 8 hodin rano z okoli Padovy. Byl oeekavan proto kolem dvanacte hodiny a vykonany wacky pripravy, aby mohl hladce pristati. V 11 hodin 15 minut kroutil jit mohutnY dvouplo gnik system Caproni s ohromnYm roznetim kridel nad Bratislavou a jeho kridla se troytila v slunci, ktere prave proniklo zavoiem mran. Leo letadlo zamitilo odtud pies Dunaj a zaletlo dosti hlubofro do Mad'arie, vracejic se Y gak znovu obloukem zpet sloe tentokrate spravne k Vajnordm. Lalo se eekati, ze cestujici dvouploSniku spravne poznaji misto, kde by meli pristati.

vESTNisci Dva francomiSti dtistojnici prijeli den pied tim, aby vSe pripravili. Bylo parnatovOno na aby misto pro pristain bylo ize snadno rozeznati. A skuteene aeroplan s niinistrem 8tefanikern priblitil se k onomu mistu, lac prelet1 je. Je nemotno, ze by osoby v nem sedici neviciely toho mista. VtclYt' to bylo rotloteno velike bile platno, ktere se z clan odratelo, zapaleny benzinove ohne, vidly bile praporce a clavaria jina znameni. Lee zda se, ze krout,eni letadla closvedeovalo jit samo, Cc jeho piloti yeah., jak nejiste je pristani. Ve vySSich vzduSnYch 'y rstvach se citili bczpeenYrai,- lac obavali se asi nebezpeenYch proucht a riarazti vetrnYch v dolejSich vrstvach. Talc, pieletli misto pro pristani, preletli menSi hajek a pak — pak — — doSlo ke katastrote.

Mohutny dvouploSnik se octl nad poll, na nicht se mezi hneclou ornici nalo mlade oseni. Najednou s yYS'e asi 70 metro (busola v troskach nalezend a tavern speeena ukazovala 68n1) 'klidne -letici civouploSnik trail se kolmo k zero!. Pokud vime, nebylo svecika v nejblitSim okoli, jent by zachytil podrobnosti ne'St'astneho padu. Pokud zpovzclal pozorovano, stitil se aeroplan bez yYbuchu a jeho smrtelnY pad trval asi 3-4 vteriny. Bohutel i misto, karn dopadl, bylo ne:St'astne a snail zyyS'ilo jeSte hrfizu neStesti. Bylo pozorovano, to v posleclnint okamtiku jedna osoby vyskoeila nebo vypadla, z letadla. Jak vS'echny okolnosti closvedeuji, byl to sam ministr, kterY se odvatil tohoto smrtelneho skoku. Byl-li to skuteene clobrovolnY skok, jak se zda, pak' mustme v Udivu skloniti .§iji pied duchapritornnosti a S'ilenou odvahou ueence generala, kterY v nekolika vterinach ei spite ve zlomcich vterin uvedomil si zkazu, jet eeka letadlo a oclvatnYm skokem pokusil se uniknouti jiste sm•ti.

Zel, ze prvni dotyk s tou drahou slovenskou zemi, pro kterou obetoval dr.

Stefanik vSe, ptinesl mu smrt, to vlastne jit umirajici octl se y e sve clomovi'ne po tolika nebezpeeich, jimt Wastne po tolika obetech, jet prinesl pro svobodu naSi eeskoslovenske vlasti, ktera ho uvitala polibkem smrti.

StraSnYm padern, jak se zda, na nohy, se zabil a jeho telo, loueici se s tiyotern, letelo na znaku pri prikopu na okrati pole, kde zatim rozbit* dvouploSnik se s yYmi tremi stroji se yznal a v troskach pochoval dal si dve obeti.

Ten to dal o nem do novin, nebot' mezi nim a hejtmanem Wenzlem panovalo nepratelstvi ode to 'cloby, kdy Zitko v jedne spoleenosti u pritomnosti hejtmana Wenzla dal se do uva g.ovani, ze staCi poohlednout se po bogi prirode, pozorovat, jak ruraena zakryvaji horizont, jak na obzoru vysoko se tyei hory a jak r ye vodonact v lesich, jak ptaci zpivaji.

Zatimco jednorodni elobrovolnik pronag e' zdroujici kritiku pomerti v kasarnach, plukovnik SchrOder sedel v hotelu ve spolednosti dfistojnikil mann, ktery se vratil ze Srbska s bolavou nohou (trkla ho krasa), vypravoval, jak se dival od gtabu, ku kteremu byl pridelen, na irtok na srbske pozice: "Ano, nyni vyleteli ze zakopil.

Plukovnik se usmIval, ale nahle se zachmufil, a obraceje se na majora Wenzla, keki: "Divim se, ae se nam nadporueik Lukag" vyhYba, od to cloby, co pkijel, nepri gel jegte ani jednou meal nas."

"On sklada basnieky," posme gne se ozval hejtman Sagner, "sotva tak se zamiloval do pani inaenYrove Schreiterove, s kterou se setkal u divadle."

Plukovnik se zachnuffene podiva/ pied sebe: "Pry um' zpivat kuplety?"

Ve streclu, dne 15. kvetna 1953 "13Z" v kadetee nas velice bavil s kupiety," odpovedel hejtman Sagner, "a anekdoty zna, jedna radost. Prod nejde mezi na.s, nevim."

Plukovnik smutne potras1 hlavou: "Dnes ua neni mezi narni to prave kamaradstvi. Drive, pamatuji se, Ze kaZdY z nas dustojnika snaail se v kasine prispet neeim k zabave.

OrruCIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Ed1thr, Saturday before the date of WM. Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

—HERALD—

Postmaster: Please Semi Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies in SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TE

FROM THE EDIT R There is an old legend of a general who found his troops disheartened. He believed it was due to the fact that they did not realize how close they Were to the other divisions of the same army because of a dense growth of trees and shrubbery. He therefore gave orders to "burn the underbrush." It was done, and they then saw they were not isolated, as they had supposed, but were part of one great army. Their courage revived, and they went forward in triumph. Let us also "burn the underbrush" that divides the brotherhood of man — the brushwood of prejudice, mistrust, and separation. We all have more in common than . we think. We are all under the same great Captain. Let the brushwood be burned away in the glow of united song and spirit and in the enthusiasm of common effort.

• This legend, we believe, has much merit. How often have we found some sort of " . underbrush" separating us from someone else or some group? Did we always try to do something about it — clear it away, and make an honest effort at harniony? Perhaps we were rejected, and all our efforts failed. But was a real honest effort made, or did we just wrap ourselves in a cloak of pride (oftentimes false pride), and resist all efforts at conciliation?

Did things not go exactly the way We wanted at the last lodge meeting, or at til7e , planning ,committee meeting? What about the ideas of that new member who just Wined the lodge? Were his views respected, or was there a ripple of laughter at his suggestion? Or how about the member Who has been around for a long time and who proposed something rather drastic to remedy the lodge's ills? Was it laughed off because it was so drastic and unlike him at all, or was it because to have followed his suggestion Would haver meant adopting some ideas and plans more-suited to this day. and

DESK

RIGHT The world is a difficult world indeed, And the people are hard to suit, And the man who plays on the violin Is a bore to the man on the flute.

And I myself often thought, How much better 'twould be If everyone of the folks that I know Would only agree with me.

But since they will not, the very best way To make the world loOk bright.

Is never to mind what others may say, But do what you think is right.

—Anon. time — a- departure from hard and fast convention?

Tradition IS a strong thing. Changes from the old way of doing things come slow and hard. The going is tedious.

Tempers flare, friends are isolated, enemies are made. We find ourselves alone in our position. Out ideas were defeated. What now? Turn tail and run, buck the majority, keep fighting, go along but grudgingly or scream "doublecross"?

Our lodges like municipalities, like all levels of government, like school ∎districts, are subject to the same strains and stresses, and sooner or later, will buckle under and hit the "skids" if these strains and stresses are not brought under control. ..Reason and good will must prevail. The strength of our lodge and local-control system lies in the stability and harmony existing within each and every lodge.

Once that part of the structural fiber starts to tear, the inevitable - result of dissolution and anonymity will set in.

Our lodge system roust not be allowed to fall into disarray. True, in some instances, it seems like a 'hopeless task, what with the revolution of urban Concentration still going on. In others,

it is still a case of the leadership not being cognizant of the desires of those few young people left in their lodges, an aversion to change, and a sense of futility, resulting in the "oh-what'Sthe-use"attitude. It fell to our forefathers and our older members to ∎start our lodge organizations from match and build upon them. It is now incumbent upon the younger generation to carry on, build, and yes, change and adapt lodge functions in harmony with the times. It is not sinful to change. It is not a crime Your lodge's existence may well depend upon it. + + Under our system, majorities must rule. It does not mean that they are always eight. Most people thought Edison was some kind of a nut. They crucified Christ. They ridiculed the Wright Brothers — majorities, that is.

So, majorities are not infallible. But they do and must serve as a vehicle for transacting further business, whether that business be in Washington in the halls of Congress, or at your next lodge meeting. If your choice for President of the U.S. did not win the last election, did you renounce your citizenship, or stop being an American?

Your "day will come" at the next election. That's the .‘ray it'egot to be!

Majorities are not always right, and you don't have to agree with them, but once a decision has been made in their favor you are obliged to lend your shoulder to the wheel and help. If the majority is proven wrong, the crown of fools will be placed upon their heads, and you will be exalted. If you are wrong, it will be to your favor and advantage to have helped make the project a success. You will have demon strated your spirit of good will and faith in the judgement of others than yourself. It is ennobling to do what one does not approve and then haVe the whole thing come out an overwhelming success. Try it. Don't run and yell; stay in there and pitch!

We wish: to express our gratitude to all who made the effort to come out and participate in the meeting and hope this number will increase still more.

After the meeting the lodge sponsored an Easter. party for the.youngsters, and since it was a week after Easter the usual Easter egg hunt was replaced by something equally exciting.

Many Thanks to our Youth Leader, Sister Bessie Petr who provided a professional magician to entertain the young and old alike. The parents sat and watched in amazement the various tricks performed.

After ne entertainment the children were served not dogs and various other goodies. With the smiles that danced across their little faces it was obvious they enjoyed it all.

Fraternally, Mrs. Hilna Mocha )0( CZECH PLAY AT I.03110E 88, HOUSTON The amateur actors of Hiahol Dramatic Club are about to perform a Czech play "Z ceskych inlynu" by Bozena, Rajska-Smolikova, a three-act play with introduction.

The basic theme is a story of a South Bohemian water-wheel mill, which occurred at the time of the rebirth of the Nation first half of the 19th Century) as grandpa Vaclav Habr (Jan Starcala) heard it. While the miller's apprentice Prasek (Tim Kostom) and young grain-worm (Mladek) are joking about the feelings of the old man. The old grain-worm, Starek (J. Pokorny), is clearing the air.

One year ago Andrew 'Suk (K. Matejka) built a new grain mill upstream from tbe old water-a n will of Vaclay Habr (R. Sefcik), which boiled both tempers so high that Suk cursed the old mill and cast a spell of evil spirits over it. Neither one of the rivals knows, that their children Otylka (S. Kovalcikova) and Vaclaii (J. Sula) fell in love during a dance and meet frequently by silent consent of Mrs. Ha:br (M. Johnsonova). The complicated family business affair is happily solved to the fullest satisfaction of both families by the wandering bird, a good humored, entirely trusted and honest mill-hand Bonifae Vejrazka (Milos Karel) by using many songs, the latest news about the steaming iron horse, when he discovers the e v ilspirited waterseoop in a fullmoon night, after the night watchman (E.

Our supply of film gave out, and we deeply regret that we didn't get a picture of LOdge 107's Youth Leader and a,s,ststanit, and two other very charming young ladies, but perhaps that will be remedied in a coming issue of the . Vestnik. We also missed getting a picture of the slate of officers for the coming term, even though there was only one new face added to the group. We will see to it that we have ample film from here on.

Our school will be out on May the 24th. Friday we will have our band concert. After school is out I will be going to a band school for two weeks, Which will be in Olney, Texas. We will have our Bible school the last week of this month.

Everyone had a big day at Lake Kemp on May first, which is a holiday for the Seymour people. The weather was nice and, everyone enjoyed fishing.

We did not get to have our lodge meeting on the 5th, because it rained hard all day, but everyone was glad it rained because it was needed.

Yours truly, Edward Mai ek )0( LODGE NO. 73. sEYmour, Dear Friends, Because of the rain we did not get to have our Youth meeting Sunday, and I really did miss it because we always have lots of fun at our meetings.

Yesterday, the 7th, 1 went to a birthday party for my girl friend. After school is out I will go to day camp for four days and I am looking forward to it. Later this month I will become a Camp Fire Girl. I made a dollie basket. It was fun to make. I put some flowers in it and it makes a nice conplece. Two more weeks before school is out, and this summer I will be working in the flower garden that I started as my project in the 4-H Club.

VESTNIK LODGE NO. 66 WACO Dear. Readers, On May 5, 1963 the members of Lodge No. 66 Senior Youth Club attended a graduation party honoring Joyce Goeke.

The hall was beautifully decorated in blue and white, which are Reicher High colors. Besides enjoying dancing, we all had ice cream, and cake.

We would like to remind everyone of our regular monthly meeting on May 19, when we will hold our Mother's and Father's Day program. Don't forget, Mothers and Fathers, about the Fun Hat Contest.

A reminder to the youth, remember the Youth Activity Day on. June 30th in Dallas, which is just around the corner.

I must close for now and study for my finals, which are also just around the corner! See you May 19th at Linden Hall Yours truly, Zephyr Spence ) 0( LODGE NO. 66 WACO Dear Readers, As you know Mother's and Father's Day is coming up soon. Our Youth Club is going to honor our mothers and fathers by having a program for them.

This program will be given the third Sunday of May, which is our regular meeting date.

School will be out in three weeks and there will be so many activities to attend in our Youth Club. We must not forget that summer always brings baseball and the Princess Ball. Baseball, the good old American game, is still the "one, two, three, strikes — you're out," game it was when it first started, but it has been improved with safety rules and better equipment.

The Princess Ball is another big activity in the summer, and has taken place in our Lodge for the last five years. It will be nay honor to crown the new queen since I am the outgoing queen for this year, 62-63.

With summer almost here, it not only brings fun but, oh boy! it brings finals which we will have to study for. I will have five finals this semester, and each• lasts two hours. High school students have hard finals, in order to see what they have learned.

I guess I had better close, readers, for I have to study for those finals.

Yours truly, Queen Jean Spence

TEEN-AGERS AND DIETS,

By Frederick J. Stare, M.D. Appearances are often deceiving.

This is especially true of teen-agers.

They look well, they probably feel well, but are they as strong and vigorous as possible?

What happens when they're asked to do push-ups? They huff and they puff, and they run out of breath. Tested for physical fitness, one after another they droop and give up.

What , happens when they offer to donate blood? A fair percentage has to be rejected because of anemia.

What happens when teen-age food intakeS are matched with ideal roe-

26 .ommendations? Calcium's low, iron's low, protein's low, and some vitamins are low. Even in out well-stocked United StateS, teen-age diets are frequently, below ideal recommendations.

So, teen-agers, why not take stock for a minute? How does your diet rate? Every day do you have two servings of milk or cheese, two servings of meat or fish or poultry or egg, four servings of vegetables and fruit (one that's citrus for vitamin C and one that's darg green or yellow for vitamin A) and some enriched or whole grain bread or cereal?

If you have these basic foods, and three ,good meals, most of the time anyway, then this article is not for you. If you: don't, how about a new lohk?

1Do you have shiny hair, clear skin, ;good posture, pep and popularity? You may think you're fooling your parents — you may even try to fool yourselves, but what are the facts?

The teens are the time of growth.

Bones lengthen, muscles thicken, contours. change. If the right food is available, bone structure is solid, flesh is firm, muscles strong. All the materials for teen-age growth , and development have to come from food: from calories, protein, minerals and vitamins. As a matter of fact, young people in their teens need a greater quantity of essential nutrients than they will ever need again.

Then why do you teens neglect your diets?

Is it because you girls think fancy food fads will -improve your figure and complexions? Or because you boys think food's a foolish feminine concern? Or because eager beavers skip lunch to make time for studying, and some think tis' more fun to patronize the drug store than the dining table?

Or is it that each of you is afraid your friends will laugh if you turn over a new leaf, nutritionally speaking?

Maybe it's time that all of you get wise to one important fact of life.

Weight, and height, skin and shape, energy and athletic skill, strength to withstand life's stress' and strain, they all require optimum nutrition.

Snacks by themselves won't make a man — or a woman. Lots of food, if it's the wrong food, won't do the trick.

Your parents can't do it for you. Your teachers can't either. They can help, but you teen-agers have to meet the challenge and make the effort.

To do your best, to be your best, you have to eat the best!

Yards and Gardens

OTTO HANUS HOUSE PLANTS If you don't have a place out doors to plant a few flowers there is always the old faithful window sill where you can have a few pot plants. The first consideration in growing pot plants in the home is the SOIL, which should be fertile, airy and porous. This can be accomplished by using 2 parts of good garden soil preferrably soil that comes with a lot of old decayed roots — 1 part clean sharp sand and 1 part compost, if you have it. If you don't, then fortified peat moss can be used, and as a last resort dry Canadian peat moss can be used. Take the three ingredients and spread out on a table or some suitable such place and sprinkle well with pulverized charcoal and a tablespoonful of soil sulphur.

For each bushel include a small teacup full of good plant food. After all these ingredients are placed together, take a trowel and thoroughly mix all ingredients. After you have thoroughly mixed this it is wise to sift the soil through a 1/4 inch screen. The soil is now ready for potting almost any type of house plant. If you pot small plants you can use small pots such as 214x21/9 and later shift into larger sizes.

POTTING First, place a piece of broken pot, cinder or gravel over the hole in the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with the soil within 1/2 inch of the top. Use a pot that is large enough to hold the roots of thee plant you are going to grow in the pot. Now set your plant firmly in the pot and set in a pan of clean water for soaking to give your plant a healthy start. Some of the plants will later have to be repotted into large pots, and the same care should be used in repotting as in potting the plants originally. Select the right sized pot, fill with soil half full, turn the plant in the small pot upside

Wednesday, May 15, 1963 down and hit -the corner of the table and it will easily slip out without disturbing the ball of soil it grew in. Set this in the center of the ne-v. , pot and fill with soil to within 1/2 inch of top and firmly press around the ball of the old soil. Water thoroughly from below and the plant is ready fur a long period of growing. Now, during the summer months your plants will require daily watching as the ,, will dry out inure during tot summer clays, and you must water them rea ((lady as needed. Watch your plants when they begin to wilt; water them, and after a few days of observation you will know just how often you need to water them.

Never water so much as to keep plants soggy wet. There are millions of plants killed through over-watering each' year, so watch your watering and give your plants just what they need.

KINDS OF' PLANTS The most popular plant in the home is English Ivy and the easiest to grow.

While it can be grown in water only, it does better in soil and likes lots of water but not to the point of drowning. If you like a lot of color try CROTONS; they are colorful with irregular leaves variously shaped and variegated in mostly yellow, scarlet, green, white and pink in' all sorts of patterns and combinations. They grow well in pots, and they love light, rich fibrous soil, even moisture, and good light. With age the leaves began to fall off the bottom. When plants become unsightly, cut off the top just below the lowest leaf and repot in fresh soil, being sure it doesn't want for moisture until well rooted, and you will soon have a new lovely plant from the old one. When growing Crotons start with the simple patterns which are easiest to grow; later, when you learn their wants, branch out into the fancy kind., Another fine plant that is easy to grow is a RUBBER PLANT, which can be had in several varieties and requires little care. This plant, however, will outgrow its space and will need to be repotted again. This is done by taking a good handfull of wet moss and making a ball near the top, which is then wrapped with plastic to keep it. moist in such a manner that water can be added to this moss until the plant roots itself in this moss ball. The plant then can be cut off and repotted as it was originally and started on to new glory.

SANSEVLERRIA — also commonly known as the "snake plant" will with-

Wednesday, May 15, 1963 aand more neglect than any indoor plant I know of. It will go for weeks without water and grow in any thing. but by giving it rich soil and proper watering, it will develop into a beautiful plant with dagger type leaves in varieties marbled with ivory, yellow and white. Some varieties will even blossom out into star-like spikes of white flowers that really attract attention because they were not expected to bloom. Try one.

COLEUS' - can easily be grown in, side near an open window and comes in an endless variety of colors and shapes.They like a suppy location, plen-: ty of moisture, but must have well drained soil. There is one drawback to coleus with all its glory, and that is Mealy Bugs; these little furry pests like to attack coleus and must be watched for. The best remedy is to wash them off with plain water when you find them. But you will be well repaid for the effort you give your coleus with great variety of colors, and it is the easiest plant to root and can be started from seed almost anytime.

AFRICAN VIOLETS — also called, SAINT PAULIAS — is a very dainty blue - flowered, constant - blooming plant under home culture. It comes in dozens of varieties of many sbades Of blue. They require a fibrous welldrained soil, preferably a light loam.

Water only from below as water on foliage is injurious, especially if the water is of a different temperature.

You can get a start of African Violets by buying a plant or two of the desired varieties, and later taking a leaf with about an inch of the stem and sticking it into moist sand. They will easily root into new plants, and with a little patience you will soon have more plants than you can take care of. Plants may be had from any commercial florist or African Violet hobbyist at small cost.

FERNS — There are many varieties of ferns that can be grown in your home, and the most popular is the 'famous BOSTON fern and SPRINGHERIE. All of these are easy to propagate by division. They require soil that drains well, which means a little more sharp sand to your potting soil. Ferns during the summer can be put into the ground — pot and all — in some shady part of your yard, and when cold weather arrives, brought back into the house to brighten up dreary winter spots.

SUCCULENTS — There are a thousand or more varieties of various types

VESTNfK

of SUCCULENTS, from little miniatures to cactuses that weigh a ton or more. Succulents of all types require poor soil, with, some humus and good drainage, with a little lime added to the soil mixture. Cacti of all types are available in nearly every imaginable shape, most of which will provide many colorful blooms, and stand more neglect than any other plant known.

Then there are the ALOES which are also very numerous and of many forms, from small rossettes to tree-like shrubs, as well as many vine types that crawl on trellises and trees. But for home growing, select the miniatures for best results. There are the CRASSULAS, with many beautiful leaves and colors which afford spots of color and lovely flowers. Then there are the AGAVES, most of which grow too large for ordinary homes, and should be attempted only in special built 'houses like greenhouses or such suitable structures. ) 0 1—

meat should be shaped into patties or packaged in amounts for loaves or ether diAles.

All meats for freezing should be wrapped closely in moisture-vaporproof material and sealed tightly. To insure easy separation before cooking, place two pieces of freezer paper between steaks, chops and patties. Label the packages, noting date, cut and weight or number of servings.

Meat should be quickly frozen at as low a temperature as possible and stored at 0 F. or lower. Since the frozen food storage compartment of many household regrigerators is not designed for rapid freezing, it should not be substituted for a home freezer when meat as to be stored for long periods.

The recommended maximum storage time for meat properly wrappe.d and held at 0 F. are: 1 to 3 months for ground pork, 3 to 4 months for ground beef and lamb, 2 months for cured and smoked pork, 3 to 6 months for fresh pork, 6 to 9, months for lamb and veal, 6 to 12 months for beef.

Meats not recommended for freezing are bacon, bologna, frankfurters, fresh pork sausage, canned hams, picnics and corned, beef. The flavor and texture may be adversely affected. In an emergency, these meats should be frozen for a short time only.

USING DEHYDRATED PARSLEY FLAKES One of the handiest bits of convenience on the grocery shelves today is the product dehydrated parsley flakes.

Parsley originated along the Mediterxanean and has been used as a culinary herb for thousands of years but it was not until after World War II that parsley flakes were dehydrated and sold commercially. Its early history has now become fable. Hercules is said to have been crowned with parsley after he conqueFed the Nemean lion; goddess Juno's horses cropped in parsley pastures; ancient Greek warriors used to feed parsley to their horses to make them spirited and fleet of foot. During the 1st Century B.C., Pliny wrote that generous amounts of parsley "give a peculiar palatability to condimental foods."

From the test kitchens of the American Splice Trade Association come these recipes for delectible summertime dishes. The Molded Turkey Loaf is both goad and easy to make. Parsley flakes give it fresh green color and flavor.

MOLDED TURKEY LOAF 2 envelopes unflavored gelatine 2 1/2 cups turkey stock 1 tablespoon parsley flakes 1 tablespoon instant minced onion 1 teaspoon salt 1/2teaspoon ground thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup mayonnaise 3 cups cold diced cooked turkey Soften gelatine in 1/9 cup cold turkey stock. Heat remaining stock and stir into gelatine. Add parsley flakes, instant minced onion, salt, thyme, black Pepper and lemon juice. Chill until the mixture begins to thicken. Fold in mayonnaise and turkey. Turn into an oiled 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Chill until firm and ready to serve. Just before serving, turn out onto a serving platter.

Garnish as desired. Serve cold in 1/25.nch crosswise slices. Makes six servings. )0) CANNED DRY SOUP MIXES ARE BIG IIF.LP Spring is such a wonclerft and busy time of year, the time of all the gathering in of loose ends, the winding up of the long winter's events.

You've probably found yourself chairman of a committee, maybe to prepare the slate of officers to be vot-

ed upon, or to take care of a booth at the ideal fair. Whatever your duties, details get less tiresome and spirits keep light when you call a luncheon meeting of your grotip.

Don't make the meal an elaborate affair. Canned mushroom dry soup mix turns into a "ladylike" luncheon dish with the addition of cubed cooked ham, thinly sliced carrot, and . a pinch of oregano for added dash. Serve with a bright radish and onion molded salad and toasted English muffins. You might whip up a luscious chocolate mousse to top off the meal, for lightness and sweetness.

SPRING MUSHROOM SOUP 1 cup cubed cooked ham 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots: 1/8 teaspoon crushed leaf oregano 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 can (11/2 ounces) cream of mushroom dry soup mix 2 cups cold water 1 cup In saucepan, cook ham, carrot, and oregano in butter until carrot is tender. Remove from heat. Stir, in soup mix; gradually blend in water. Bring to a boil, stirring. Partially . cover; simmer three minutes, stirring now and then. Add milk; heat. Makes three to four serving's.

Here's another way to turn those varied and flavorful canned dry soup mixes into guest-greeters. Add some diced cooked shrimp, sherry, and sliced mushrooms to a can of noodle dry soup mix. Now here is a nominee for special award!

110W SKILLFUL A DRIVER ARE YOU? How many miles per gallon of gas do you get out of your car? Whether most of your driving is done over twisting mountain roads, super-highways, or consists mostly of the stopstart-stop variety of a typical suburban day — learning a few professional driving tips can save you money.

The average driver can "earn" four to five extra miles to the gallon, according to findings made by drivers in this year's 'Mobil Economy Run. Forty-six drivers, competing on many types of cars, drove from Los Angeles to Detroit in the annual competition.

The cross-country course passed through nine states, 183 towns and cities, of which there were 276.6 miles of city, 1394.21 miles of country, and 830.8 miles of expressway driving. During this time the drivers encountered over 300 stop signals and other compulsory stops — and variations of altitudes of 7317 feet. The contestants were divided into eight classes, depending on the types of cars they drove.

Here's a quiz on your driving skill, based on information discovered on the road and afterward. All ten answered right means you are a highway "pro," 8-9 right. very good, 5-8, that you're in the running but off to a slow start, and 5-0, that you can probably get much more mileage out of your car than you realize: 1. If distances were equal, would you choose a route which ran through several villages and towns or a straight stretch of fast super-highway?

Answer: Constant starting and stopping in heavy traffic uses up more gas than cruising at 60 miles an hour. If you can arrange to do your shopping and other errands in non-rush hours —with fewer compulsory stops -- you'll

2. Do you save gas by , getting off to a fast start?

Answer: No. An easy smooth acceleration on a start saves up to 10 miles per gallon.

3. If you keep your windows rolled up for less wind resistance and the radioand heater off, do you save gas? but only Spartans Answer — Yes do it.

4. How much gas does a car idling with the motor on consume?

Answer: Up to gallons of fuel per hour or zero miles per gallon.

5. Should you get exactly the same amount of mileage as your neighbor— provided you drive the same model and make of car he does?

Answer: No. Each of you will get a type of economy 'uniquely yours and depending on yOur operating conditions, types of travel, whether you take many short journeys or a few long ones.

6. Da power consuming accessories — like air conditioners, power steering and the like — consume very much fuel?

Answer: A car's aiccessories may use up to 30 per cent of all fuel. , 8. Do you save gas if you drive tensely or take your minor irritations out on the car, such as jerky stopping and starting, gunning the motor, etc.?

Answer: No. Smooth pacing with traffic signals and signs — in a relaxed, easy way — is a gas saver.

9. Is "trick driving" necessary to save gasoline?

No. But "think-ahead" driving — c,r going smoothly from road situation to road situation in an easy rhythm— helps your car give a better performance.

10. Are speed drivers always poor economy-run drivers?

No. Mickey Thompson, who drove a streamlined car 406 miles per hour on Bonneville Salt Flats, also came in first in the Class C Division of the Economy Run. )O) PROPER ORAL HYGIENE Nutritious foods are important to oral health,- but it is what we avoid eating that really counts in preventing dental decay.

The young growing child whose teeth are developing should receive adequate amounts of the building materials found in good nutrition. The foods that result in good general health also are important for the development of the teeth.

However, after the teeth have erupted, an important thing to remember is to avoid excessive consumption of sugar-rich foods and carbonated beverages, especially between meals.

'Studies have shown that the acids which are -produced in the mouth from the fermentation of carbohydrates, and especially sugar, are a basic factor in causing tooth decay.

For this reason, the consumption of foods such as candy, pastry, chewing gum, sweetened beverages, etc., should be kept at a minimum. High carbohydrate confections are the most undesirable.

In adulthood, a food diet is an aid in avoiding diseases of the gums and ' other supporting tissues of the teeth, the leading cause of tooth loss after age 35.

The essential daily foods for adequate nutrition, experts agree, in-

29 elude milk, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat and butter.

Dentists emphasize that foods should be selected not only for nutritional qualities but for their physical character as well.

Fibrous or firm food plays an important role in keeping the mouth naturally clean and providing a massaging effect on the gums.

Examples of such foods are carrots, celery, apples and oranges. Through eating such cleansing foods, ancient man was able to keep his mouth relatively free of debris without the aid of the modern toothbrush.

Milk is desirable for a well balanced diet. It is particularly needed from. birth to about eight years of age. Dining this period when the teeth are formed, the body needs plenty of calcium. Once the teeth are formed, however, it is too late to Make up a calcium deficiency.

Wednesday, May 15, 1.963 FISH. KILLS VERY LIGHT THIS YEAR Saltwater fish may have become acclimated to cold weather this winter through the gradual build-up of frigid weather, according to Ernest Simmons, Coastal fiSheries supervisor of Region V, Game and- Fish Commission. The two recent spells of freezing weather on the lower coast have not produced any significant fish kills. Although many fish were stunned by the cold and swam slowly near the surface where they could be scooped up in dip nets, most of them apparently recovered: Some fingerling redfish in the upper Laguna, Madre were killed as were many other small fish, but the majority of our large fish suffered no lasting ill effects.

Biologists had refrained from commenting on the two freezes, until .Baf-

fin Bay could be thoroughly checked for the possibility of a kill of large trout which had sunk to the bottom.

Constant checks of this area have re-, veiled no such kill thus far.

Although temperatures dropped almost as low this year as they did during the terrific fish kill of 1951 and the lesser kill of 1962, the low temperatures were of much shorter duration. Biologists believe that the gradual cooling of the water this year and the short periods of extreme cold are what have prevented a fish kill of major proportions so far this year.

Simmons said, "We've been lucky so far, but winter is not over yet and we could still be hurt by an extended

period of extremely cold weather."
