Se svojimy spoleemimi sily, se svoji ochotnou obetavosti, se svoji praci a spoleenou snahou, elenoye fadu Hvezda Texastt dosahli sveho cilu fispeZne.

Stava se tomu tak i kdyZ se nejedna o stavbe nove sini. Bylo i tomu tak v r.

1905 a 1906, dle l'adovreh dejin, ktere popsal bratr Karel Kalenda v r. 1956 a ktere otiskujem znovu v tomto eisle.

FiftyS0i41 Of.Progi'mgs Great events throughout the world today compete daily for recognition in the newspapers across our nation. The opening of the new hall at Sea.ton is not going to make the hca c l lines of the NY Times, nor is the earth going to ,tremble.

But to our SPJST, and a 1, , rge num ber of its devoted memb friends in the central portion of Texas, the completion and opening of ti2e new Seaton Hall IS a great event, worthy of public notice and attention. Many tine and noble aohievemenis take place within our SPJST, but e( 1'1 ainly the pinnacle of . achievements is reached when the members of one of our lodges, through sweat, niuscle, a.nd sacrifices, succeed in erecting a new home for themselves. It is definitely "first page material," and ! think that is where it belongs. As this is being written, there is much aotivity astir= in the 8eaton-Temple areas, in preparation for the formal dedication and opening. By the time this is read, the big day will have already passed. There will be a much-deserved pause and. rest for our brothers and sisters of the Seaton Community — but only a brief one, because the week-to-week operations and functions of an active lod ge will then commence in earnest.

Naturally, in underta l .ing such , a ntoble project, humans being what they are, there were bound to be differences of opinions on how things should proceed. These differences exist even when you're not building- a new hall. They very evidently existed back in 1905 and 1906, because according to. Bro. Karel Kalenda's historiCal account, (be sure and read it), the proposal to build the firA tall 'was SOmicily defeated in 1905. They tried again a year later, and it passed, but not without opposition. So it went, and practically every lod ge in the SPJST that ever built a lodge hall could trace a similar set of circumstances.

Now, it is completed; it stands for all to see as a monument to the efforts and sacrifices of fraternalism.

A few pertinent, physical details of the new building: its dimensions are 64x116 feet; of Heydite construction; a beautiful oakwood parquet floor, a .(Continued on page 3, col. 1, bottom),

The building rests on pax' of a 5acre tract of ground. This acreage has been gradually increased with the purchase of additional area down through the years.

Surrounding the building in a semicircle fashion, are a number of tall oak trees. This shaded area will probably be developed into a nice picnic area.

The road from Temple is a wide, hardsurfaced road, passable in all weather.

The original Seaton Star Hall was rebuilt in 1938 and looked like this. This building served its purpose until the time the present new building was constructed. valy na jeden kilometr od sebe. A tak padesat let je meznikem easu, jak ony kameny byly mezniky vzdalenosti.

A co je eas? Je to fantom, neco, co neYidite, necitite, nemtitete slyiet a piece je tu, nerd zaeatku, ani konce. easto Slyiite od nekoho, to ma vic easy, net penez: a druheho, to nema easu. eas je nece, co se nedd schovat do kapsy. Padesdt let je v Zivote jednotlivce dosti dlouha doba je dost di co se jich nedoeka a jsou velice ridke pripady, aby se Nov& dotil dvou padesatek. Ale v tivote organizaci, mest, state, a risi je doba padesati let pouze meznikem, jak byly ty kameny u silnic (silinice jsou "highways"). A ty easove mezniky se vieobeetle oslavuji.

Jelikot jsem jeden z tech tijicich, kteri se Ueastnili stavby sine, pokusim se po.dat vie, co predchazelo stavbe Kdyt byl rad zaloten 1. brezna roku 1903, prvni d ye schtize odbyly se v kovarne zesnuleho bratra Tom Mikalditika; a k daliim schtizim byla pouti yand skoini budova v Seaton.

Prvni pokus postaveni spolkova sine byl ueinen v listopadove schuzi roku 1904. Ale pro nedostatek easu (zas

ten eas) jednani bylo odloteno do prosincove schtize. V prosincove schtizi, clriv net priAlo hlaso yani, bylo udelane pravidlo, to kdyt se bude hlasovat ohledne sine, navrn musi dostat d ye tretiny hlasn, aby proiel. Pro stavbu sine odevzdano 20 hlasit a 12 proti, tak ndvrh padl. Navrh piisel zas na pieties nasledujicine roku v zari, ale hlasovani odloteno do rijnove schtize. V rijnove schtzi byl navrh na stavbu prijat a site 22 hlasti pro a 10 proti.

Tak Lady byl zaeatek. Na vyhledani mista byli zvoleni bratri: Vince Hejl, Jos. Jetek, J. W. (Jan) Simek, Torn Talaiek, a J. J. Hejl. Tento vYbor podal zpravu v listopadove schttzi, to naiel misto pro Sin a sice dva akry v jihozapadnim rohu farmy bratra Jos. Holana a sice za cenu $75 za akr, tedy $150 za celY pozemek. To je misto, na kterem je sin postavena. VYber mista byl schvalen 20 hlasy proti 6.

V to same schtizi byla podana tadost od radu Bratri Miru jednoty aby sin byla postavena obema spolky.

Jelikot zas to muselo byt schvalene dvema tretinami bias& ona tadost byla zamitnuta — 18 hlasii pro a 13 proti. volbou bylo ale usneseno, kdyby

nayrh propadl, aby se o nem hlasovalo v priiti schtizi, kdyt bcdou eleni pritomni. V prosincove schfizi ale ndvrh byl zase zamitnut a sice 26 pro spoleene staveni sine a 15 proti.

V lednove sellUzi , roku 1906 bylo oahlasovano, aby katclY z bratril sloth $10 co Pflj eku na stavbu. Pozernek byl zaplacen ze zdlotniho fonclu, ktery mel rad v opatrovani a za ktery byl zodpoy ednY. Bratr Frank Motl byl ustanoven na to, aby obstaral vSecky papiry, ktere se tYkaji majetkoveho prava.

V breztiove schazi byli zvoleni dva zylaStni firednici ku vedeni zaznamti ph stavbe a site Frank Motl, pokladnik, a Tom Chupik, tajemnik a fleetnik, kterY vedl vSecky zapisky a Uety a zaznamenal vSecky delniky, kteri na ,stavbe pracovali. Bylo totit ujednano, aby katdV Olen clelal bezplatne na sta y be sine 10 cir1.1 a kdyby nemohl aby dal $1 za kaZdY den co by nedelal, aby se mohl na jeho misto najat clelnik clruKdo by pracoval vic net 10 . dni by dostal $1 denne.

Hudbu obstarala IVIatySeakova kapela z Gran-' ger.

A na to slavnost se stalo neco, jak se to nekcly stone. Pies den pre.qy sem a tarn, jak se rika, lehke Prehanky, ale nic neuSkodily a odpoledne se zdalo, Ze bode pekne poeasi. Ale veer, jak se setmelo, vystoupily na severozapade Cerne mraky a zaealo ne prSet ale liti, a lilo bez prestani celou riot. Pivo se tehda eepovalo ze souclkt a rad mel otevrenou nalevnu bez strechy. Tak vZdy nekteri z bratrit vybehli yen, donesli ,beeieku a eepovalo se v sini. Podlaha byla pina blata, ale taneilo se piece.

Bylo to tehda jak v to pisni: "Pr;A, pril, jen se leje, piveeko se no nos sineje, odbehnout ho je to Skoda, venku je jen same vocla." A bylo ji aS mot.

Ale rano jak domil? Ty testy na eernicich po velikYch deStich byly primo bezedne ale jaksi jsme se vichrii done dostali. Tak skoneila slavnost otevreni radove sine roku 1906.

Myslim, Se je jest" dost pametnikii, coZ to slavnost pamatuji, treba byli tehda detnn a dnes jsou z nich starenky a stariekove. Je z rids, co na sini pracovali, devet na Zivu a sice: J. F.

Ale jestli se nemYlim, naklad na pastavent sine obna:el asi $1,600. Sin pro-

UNE SE CESKY Lekce osinnacta — Lesson• 18 The Seven Cases _ Sedm padre What is a case?

A case is the form which shows the function of a noun, ad jective, or pronoun, in the sentence, and its relation to other words in the sentence. There are seven such cases in the Czech language.

1. NOMINATIVE, or subject case: prvni pad -- answers the questions: KDO — who? (is the doer of, or subjected to, some action?); CO — what? (lifeless object or event is something said about?)

Ex: KDO tam ehodi? Karel tarn jde.

Here Karel is in the nom. case Co se tam deje? Saline se tam kona Here schfize is in the nom. case.

2. GENITIVE Case — druhy pad, has a function similar to the English possessive case. (my friends house, or the house of my friend). The genitive has acquired a wide range of meaning besides the basic sense of BELONGING. It answers the questions: eeho? of what?, CI? whose?

Ex: Z Cello je to vYrabene? Ze ieleza a z. litiny. je to puelk? Jeto pueik meho otce.

(Otte, here is in the gen. case).

3. DATIVE Case — treti pad, is primarily a case of direction marking end or result towards which an act proceeds. It is therefore used after the verbs GIVING, SENDING, SAYING, or WRITING something to someone. It answers the questions KOMU?, to whom?, and' EMU?, to what?

Ex:Koniu piSeS? Pisu domu tatinkovi.

(Tatinkovi here is in the dative case).

Cemu poslouchaS? Posloucham vysilaci stanici. (Stanici is in the dative case).

4. ACCUSATIVE, or Direct object case — etvrty pad; marks the receiver of the action or the thing acted upon by the subject. It answers the questions: K0110? whom?, and CO what?

Ex.: Koho's tam vial? Vida jsem tam

ye stkedu, dne 31. eervenee 1963

meho pritele. (pritele is in the ace. zale21 a vypiji zatim trochu eerne case). vy. Venku je site dosti vlaho, ale proti Co tam vidiS? Vidina moji matku. temperature zde v sale ovSem hod(rnatku is in the acc. case) ne chlacino. NechceS take trochu ka.

5. VOCATIVE Case — paly pad — is vy 217 used for addressing or calling to a per"Treba, os y eli me." son or a thing.

"A ja, budu nesledovati yaieho Ex:. Bratie Novaku'. hldsil se myslivec a volal na ()tee IMO! hostinskeho, aby 1 jemu prines1 keMatko ma! vy. "Jakmile odjedete, po anglicku 6. LOCATIVE, or prepositional — zmizim, budu red, Ze bucie deli dobu SestY pad; is alway used with preposipene poeasi, coa jiste viichni redi u yitions. It cannot stand alone. It expresses position in time or space. It an- tame." swers the questions KDE? where? 0 "Arci mime ma vldhy dost a potrekom? About whom? 0 eem? About buje trochu tepla. VSak za dne what? je slunce jako v lete."

Ex.: Kde je Marie? Sedi na schodech.

"Excellence svaei 1 snide venku na (na schodech is in the loc. case) O kom, naluviS? Mluvim o tetiece. terase; je ye velmi dobre mire."

"Oviem, prijde fee nekdy o tom ei (o rtiznYch bodech is in the loc. case) 7. INSTRUMENTAL — sedmY pad — onom."

"Jiste take a brednicich bY yd, rec." expresses the means, way, manner, in"Zajiste a dost east°. To vite, z to strument, or causal condition.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: 'Thursday night, July 18, we played Madewell. Electric and we lost another close ball game. Both teams wouldn't (give too much until the bottom of the 6th inning, with the score tied 3-to-3, Madewell put on a 4-run rally to go ahead 7 to 3 and in our half of the 7th inning, we failed to score and therefore we lost the game, final score was 7 to 3. Batteries were Glynn Williams and Frank Mach III who relieved in the 6th inning, pitching and Larry Brennan catching.

Leading hitters were Raymond Smith' with a double; Leonard Drozd with a

vkaTiliza - '–

hit and a walk; Frank Mach III with one bit; Albin (Bino) Vrana and Larry Brennan each had a walk apiece. We needed a few more hits to win this game, however, we did not get them in the clutch when needed. The team as a whole played a good game.

We had a nice turnout of fans and rooters at the game. Our most sincere thanks for your presence and your cheers. I must correct a misquote I 'made in my last report, Edd and Mary Helen Kolanovsky now live in Houston, rather than Austin, their former residence, as I mentioned in my writeup.

Incidentally, Mary Helen was at our game Thursday night with their two sons,an d we were all glad to see her.

Thursday night, July 25, we play our final league game. You will be informed of the outcome in my next report.

The Dallas City League Championship Playoffs will start Saturday night, July 27th and we were awarded a spot in the playoffs. This will be a double team elimination and we will get to play at least two games and we 'hope more.

We plan to have some pictures made of the team soon and we will forwerd them to our Editor for publication. We would like to say "thanks" to our Editor, Bro, Nick Morris, for editing and publishing our softball team reports this season. We feel our thanks should be set in type in the Vestnik.

Fraternally, Gladys Schiller ]O( AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BRO. F. E. HEJL, SR. (The following is a snort autobiography, written in 1956, by the late Frank E. Hejl, Sr., of the Seaton Community, east of Temple, Brother Hejl, a longtime SPJST member and worker, wrote this sometime prior to its publication in the "Hospodar" in 1956. He had indicated, from time to time, that he would like for it to appear in an, issue of the Vestnik at some future date. Upon his death on 29 June 1963, members of his family came upon this autobiography once again. We feel that the opening of Lodge 47's new building is an appropriate time to publish this brief sketcn. The original Czech article, along with a rare picture of Bro. Hejl, appear in this week's Czech section. — Ed.) was born in Nelsonville, Texas, on

VESTNiK November 25, 1881 of poor parents.

When I was 8 years old, my parents moved from. Austin County to Bell County into the now Seaton Community. Here I went to school for two years. Then my parents moved to Falls County into the Westphalia Community. It was about three miles to the nearest public school, so we often had an excuse not to go to school regularly.

-Oftentimes the excuse was well deserved. If the weather was good, we could not go to school because we had work at home, so I received very little education.

In 1895, my parents bought some land in Waller County. Here we lived during the Galveston Storm of 1900.

After the storm, my parents again moved to Bell County where both passed away.

I remember well the beginning of farming. The farmer had to clear some land by hand in order to be able to plant -the necessary things needed to keep going. Or a farmer had to fell trees to clear enough land to satisfy his needs. Cotton was from 4 to 6 cents a pound and corn 18 to 20 cents a bushel.

As mentiened before, I had -very little schooling but I was a very enthusiastic reader; I read everything I could get my hands on. This reading was possible only at night and that by a poor light During the day I had to work with my parents and among my neighbors. I never was out of work and never had a hard time getting work.

The pay was according to what the farmer could afford or what the laborer was worth. Day laborers received 50 cents a day and cotton pickers received 30 to 40 cents a hundred pounds picked.

On October 29, 1905, I decided to get married, and chose Miss Emilie Lesikar as my life's partner. We were blessed with nine children, all of whom are still living and are self-supporting. We lived together for forty-seven years when I lost my devoted bride, adviser, and comforter, and the children lost a devoted mother, on August 12, 1951.

Honor be to her memory.

As to my public and civic life, I have been a Democrat since I was 21 years of age. I have never missed an election. I have often served as clerk at the ballot box. I have been a school trustee of the Seaton School for a large number of yearS. I have served a number of times on the grand and petit jury. In SPJST Lodge No. 47, I have served in every office except fi-

Wednesday, July 31, 1963 nancial secretary. I have been sent to eight conventions by my lodge as a delegate. I served on the By-Laws Committee of the Supreme Lodge for seven terms. There is much work yet to be done, but I am happy to know that there are others who are willing to take over the work left undone.

This reminds me of a conversation I once had with Brother Engelbert Pollach, who said that you cannot break a wall with your head but if you tap on it lightly, you can break it easily.

Through my influence I have signed up many members into our lodge. At the time, there was no reimbursement to organizers. All of my children belong to the SPJST. My family is not 160 per cent, but in all there ate 30 of may immediate relatives who are members of tee ,SPJST. This includes children, in-laws, and grandchildren.

But like all of nature's living things which wilt and dry up, so it is with me.

I have been living with my daughter now for four years here on my farm which I 'nave owned for 44 years, and where there were ideals, work, worries, and happiness. I am satisfied. My children are good to me. What else could a 75-year-old wish for? We live on borrowed time and I am waiting for my name to be called.

I am, F. E. Hejl, Sr. (Translated by Mrs. F. E. Hejl, Jr., Brother Hejl's daughter-in-law). ) 0 (— Someone has tabulated that we have put 35 million laws on the books trying to enforce the Ten Commandments.

New members accepted were nYn-Ulla Woods and Larry Beralek. Sister Dorothy Banik attended the meeting as a visitor arid we appreciate her interest in our club. Our Youth Assistant, Sister Ruby Pavelka, also was present. She stated, as a suggestion, that at the next meeting if each member brings two new members he will receive an award. Everyone approved. of the suggestion as we need more Youth in our Club.

Sister Norma Pavelka suggested we may have a party if it is wanted.

Kathy Zalman suggested we have a swimming party. The Youth agreed and it was decided we would go to the West Playdium. The date was set for July 26, 1963 at 6:30 p.m. Our parents were all invited to accompany us and our mothers will bring food and Sister Norma Pavelka will provide the cold drinks.

Linda Pavelka, Reporter ) 0( DANBURY LODGE NO. 139 I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who had a part in the District Five Queen, King and Princess Contest at which I was crowned the new Queen of our district. I 'represented Lodge No. 139, Danbury, and my escort was Lonnie Lo•tak of Danbury. My special thanks to Brother J. M. Skrabanek for sponsoring me as his candidate for this honor and for his untiring work in the contest. Also, to Mrs. Maxine Sefcik who gives her time so willingly to the many details required to make these contests a success. I am grateful for the many, lovely gifts which I received and for the beautiful trophy and I will treasure each of them for many years; and I will make every effort to serve District Five as their new Queen as graciously as the past queens, have fulfilled their duties: However, I find that I am unable to express in full my appreciation for the many lovely memories which I will treasure forever of this wonderful honor. These memories will last forever among the joys of life which are always beautiful and which we never forget.

Dana Cameron ) 0( LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers, On Sunday, July 21st, the Teenage Club and youth had a joint meeting.

Your reporter, Margaret Narovec )O( LODGE 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Members and Friends.

I will never forget June 30, 1963. I went to the Youth Activity Day at Lodge No. 130 at Dallas. A large group attended from Lodge 6, Cottonwood.

I want to thank Lodge 130, Dallas,

for being nice and kind to all of us, and for the good food. I also want to thank Mrs. Martha Vrla for taking us girls to her house to dress.

I think our prince, Richard Mikeska, looked very nice, I was his escort, and his Duchess was Jeanette Krizan. She sure had a beautiful gown. Her escort was Larry 1VIynarcik.

I sure did like the Grand March; it was lots of fun.

We had many members entered in 'the crafts and talent contest. I want to thank our Youth Leader, Mrs, Ruth Krizan, for helping all of us.

I want all of you to conic to our Annual Picnic at Cottonwood, Sunday, July 28, 1963. We are going to have all kinds of games and a barbecue and chicken supper, and a big dance at night. So be sure and come.

Fraternally yours, Ruth i e Schuetz ) 0( LODGE NO. 54, WEST (Arrived Late) Dear Readers, July 1 we had our meeting at 2:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by president Dolores Cepak. We decided to pay for the flowers, of the duchess and she will receive $7.50. The Princess will receive 810.00•.

Our Youth Club Picnic will be held on July 28th, Sunday. We will meet at our hall at 9:00 a.m. I hope everyone 'will come and have a lot of fun.

Jimmy Nemec was the only one who had a birthday in the month of July.

"Happy Birthday!" The door prize was won by Judy Barton.

At the adult meeting the grownups decided that our hall should be remodeled. I hope people will come and see the hall when it is finis4hed.

After the adult meeting we had real good refreshments which the mothers brought. At the next meeting we will be playing baseball. So bring your bats, ball, and gloves, and girls, bring a pair of shorts so you can change when we play.

We sure had a nice fourth of July Picnic. We had a lot of fun, lots of people, and the band played fine. My mother and some other ladies made a real good supper. Everything was good.

We raised some money so we could go to a picnic at Waco, which will be on July 28th,.

Our next meeting will be 'at 2:00 p.m. on August 4th. So try to: attend the meeting. Sisters bring some food for the meeting.

I want to thank the Supreme Lodge

9 for such a good time, and for such beautiful gifts. I hope 'every girl gch a chance to be duchess like I did.

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmeamp 1®( ATTENTION: DISTRICT IV YOUTH AND PARENTS The time has been set for our District IV Meeting, Sunday, August 25th, at the VFW Hall, 34th St. and Avenue N, Lubbock, Texas. We are hoping to have a good crowd out, Each lodge has received copies of the contests for 1963. So, in order for me to have my program worked out I must know if any Lodge will have a Queen in Contest No. I. Please inform me at once so I could prepare the prizes for this contest. This year the winner will go to the State Contest.

Contest II is our talent contest. We can have 14 Urough 1(3, rind 17 through 21 to represent their cte,luet in State Contest. So, each lociLte try to have an entry in all these age groups. In order for me to have prizes for these entries I must have your -p anics and ages before our meeting. We will not have cash awards this year; they must be ,gifts or tropThies. I hope I don't have to dissapoint them, because I want to present them at our meeting, instead of by mail, like let year. because I didn't know who would be in any of the contests, and it will be unfair to the youth if they all can't get their gifts at once. Refer to your contest rules and please let me hear from all ten Lodges soon!

I'm still working on the Craft Contest, but it will include all ages, and will consist of sewing, embroidery, crochet work, leather work, wood work, painting, bobby kits, air planes, boats, etc. There will be first, second, and third prizes in each age group 6 thru 9, 10 thru 13, 14 thru 16 and 17 thru 21.

These crafts must be displayed at our district meeting by 11:00 a.m. Be seeing you August 25th!

READY, GO! YOUTH OF DIST. The contests are over, so where, you may ask. Well, may I remind you that there are the, point 0,n(; book contests and this is the time while all is fresh on your mind, to look over your Vestniks, your pictures and your notebook and get everything down in writing. Right now you have more time than will be available when you start back to school (Oh, I

shouldn't have mentioned it!). So take out your forms and fill in all the blanks you can. If you have questions ask your leader or write me, but get into the Contests; there are more awards to Fraternally, Wilma Nesuda, District III Youth Director

WATERMELON ICE Watermelon ice on the half-shell; nothing says summer like watermelon; here the fruit is scooped out, stirred in a blender or mixer, sugar and lemon juice added, then frozen into an ice.

Pile it up in the shell and top it with fresh, mint sprigs.

• • Here's a tip: for a dessert that is light and bright, try-folding tiny slivers of ciapeeled dark red apples into creamy tapioca pudding. The texture and 'color contrast perks up both the appearance and the flavor.

• Speaking of : color contrast, paper baking cups in contrasting colors make wonderfully chic doll hats, play-party dishes or gay turrets for castles made from building blocks.

•

•

A pretty way to serve canned or fresh asparagus: in a tall mold of gelatin, with vinegar, lemon juice, celery, grated .raw carrots; pimiento strips and a touch of sugar added for color and flavor. Chill until firm before unmolding.

• o HAM & GREEN MOUNTAIN Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a 5 to 6 lb. canned barn in shallow baking

Wednesday, July 31, 1963 dish. In 1 qt. bowl, combine half cup maple-blend syrup, half tsp. of ground cloves, and two cups of apple juice; pour over ham. Sprinkle with one cup seedless raisins. Allow 20 minutes baking per pound, baste occasionally with pan juices.

Fifteen minutes before ham is ready, arrange two large cans of sauerkraut (well drained) around ham. To serve, garnish kraut with fresh chopped parsley and arrange spiced crab apples around dish.

THE "AVERAGE WOMAN" The "average woman" eats 160, pounds of meat, 353 eggs and 25,000 inches of spaghetti a year, the current issue of GP reports, based on a Mon tana State College study.

GP, published by the American Acaremy Hof General Practice, quotes further from the study that the average woman smokes 146 packs of cigarettes yearly and throws away 400 pounds of edible food.

It won't be a surprise to men. but the study also shows that she spends a year of her life on the telephone and speaks 4,800 words a day. She spends one and a half times as much on clothes as 'the husband — but she returns 13 per cent of them.

AND NOW — THE TRIPLE SINK First it was the wall-oven, teen the built-in refrigerator, now it may be the triple sink for a kitchen status symbol.

Newest design from Jensen-Thorsen Corp, of Addison, Ill., which often sets the pattern for the design of sinks is a triple-bowl version, in stainless steel.

Efficiently planned with a small bowl in the center basically designed to accommodate a garbage disposal unit without cluttering up one of the large bowls, a cutting board to fit over the larger bowls also is included.

This arrangement enables the homemaker to prepare diShes with multiple ingredients more quickly and easily without spreading everything out over the counter tops. The faucet control, of the one-lever style, plus a spray unit which is handy for cleaning vegetables as well as dishes, is set at the back of the center bowl.

A new addition to the cooking center in the kitchen is Roper's fully automatic oven. After cooking at the proper temperatures, an automatic control will keep the food warm until ready, at 170 degrees. Rolls, breakfast bacon and eggs, casseroles, Sunday dinner all can be kept at the best eating temperature without loss of mois-

VESTIVIIC tare or flallor. Containers such as plastic, silver, wicker, porcelain, glass can be set in the oven safely between 140170 degrees.

For the family fortunate enough to have an extra-large play room, a cabana by the pool, a cabin at the lake, eraine Co., is introducing a new Food 'N Fun bar. It's a complete unit, could be used in an efficiency apartment alOng with one of the drop-in style Oven and range -units.

The crane unit includes an automatia icemaker and ice cube storage bin which also doubles as a serving tray and the refrigerator unit with two storage shelves below plus door shelves.

Adjoining this, under the stainless steel sink and counter top is a twoShelf and drawer storage unit for food, bottles, cleaning supplies. The door IS equipped with glass-holding racks and a wood shelf deep enough for small packages or cans.

The cabinets, 48 inches wide and 24 inches deep, are finished in walnut, mahogany or limed oak, They are available through plumbin g and building supply dealers handling the Crane fixtures.

Patio Party Tips: Keeping a large quantity of bottled or canned drinks cold and serving them to guests right on the patio is no problem if you have a metal wheelbarrow in reasonably good condition.

Clean the wheelbarrow and, if ceessary, give it a quick dressing-up with spray-on paint. .F.hortly before your guests are is arriVe, fill the bottom of the wheelbarrow with 'crushed ice, put in the bottk:d or canned drinks and pack more ice around them.

For a festive touch to yo':r portable drink server, arrange bright flowers in the ice around the edge of the wheelbarrow. ) 0 (-- TRY STRAWBERRIES MODERN WAY Modern way to serve fresh . htrawberries: with a topping of sour cream, yogurt or whipped cream cheese and a suspicion of freAhly-grated nutmeg.

You may have an old-fashioned nutmeg grater you can bring out and use Or you may want to invest in one of the graters manufactured today. )0( City Boy: How come you got only one spur?

OTTO IIANUS Spring gardens are ina.4 about "water over the dam" for most of us, and the tan is rapidly approaching for us to start getting ready for our fall gardens. If you have not chopped up the vegetation left over from your spring garden take out that old rotary mower and raise it for higher cutting and slowly shred all vegetation that the sun hasn't burned up in your garden. Then, if you are one of the lucky owners of a good rotospader you can rotospade it all into the ground her coMplete decomposition. If you have made compost during the spring months you will want to spread a good quantity of it on your garden before you spade it, This will help your soil to start your fall garden growing right.

After you t,-.!orou,ghly spade your soil either by tTand or mechanically, let it lay idle for a couple or three weeks, end the meantime should you be lucky enough to get a good rain on it bei( 1)lanti g tune your soil will be in you grow? Well, just thing you grew in the you sciect early maturing 'You can plant black-eyed peen. and they are always good as late as Sent. and you can still expect a good har yea.t before frost. If you have saved your little potatoes from your spring crop these can be planted i, late as Sept. 10th and still get a harvest of new potatoes before frost.

Sh'ould a light frost occur before you harvest your potatoes take a hoe and cut the vines off even with the surface of the ground before the cold can get down to your potatoes and you can harvest them later. I had a friend of mine ter. inc that he had failed to hararest his potatoes last year before frost and that the vines kept on growing and getting frozen off at regular intervals clueing the winter, coming back after each freeve, wily to get frozen again, and then whin lie started

26

r-

to work up his garden for spring planting he had dug a better-than-average crop of potatoes. I am going to try it in a small way this winter, and if successful will give you a report next spring on the outcome of this experiment. August is a good time to start your cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower in boxes, later transferring them into your garden for growing in your fall garden. You can also plant beets and carrots in the spot you want to grow them. Turnips are a must since you ran cook the tops as well as the bottoms and turnips do best in the fall of the year; in fact, you can have turnips all winter long as turnips ore especially desirable for their mineral content and non-periWnable qualities. Wax beans can be planted as well as the ,green snap varieties, especially if you harve plenty of water to water with.

Later you can plant spinach and mustard for greens for winter use, and lucky is the family that has their own spinach growing frell because spinach is one of the best vegetables for us— full of vitamins and minerals.

Winter Flowers Just because winter is coining along does not mean that you cannot have any flowers. It is true that you cannot have the same variety of flowers that you can plant in the spring, but flowers you s can have, if you want them. Pansies, if planted in August, will start blooming in November and bloom until spring.. Pansies are available in just about any imaginable color of the rainbow. Pansies should be started in an outdoor bed well worked with plenty of compost and wellleveled with the back part of your rake.

You can then scatter the seed on top and cover with either sifted compost, peat - moss, or fine sand Cover this with lift burlap or a feed sack ripped does fine. Keep watering until the pansies germinate, then remove cover and grow with care until the pansies have four leaves, at which time they can be transplanted into their permanent places in your flovrer garden. Next in importance for winter are the Calendulas. They come in just about every shade from pale yellow to dark orange and are easy to raise, requiring the some care that you give Zinnias and nearly everyone knows how to plant end grow zinnias. Calendulas rarely freeze and take so little care that every home should have some to cheer the winter dreariness. AnOther good plant is. Stocks; these can be planted In the early fall for late winter 'bloom-

VASTNfK ing in just about any color imagin;able. Many other flowers can be planted where you have some winter protection for them. The Sweet Pea family offers a riot of color and type of flowers that cheer up a flower lover just about any time of the year. They require more care and some winter protection from severe cold, but areworth the effort for anyone that has seme time to look after them. ) 0 MAKE THE GRASS GREENER ON YOUR SIDE During the warm summer months and in the early fall, there's one main factor that will insure the success of your garden and lawn: YOU! The care you give your plants and grass will determine whether you're truly the owner of a green thumb -- or just the garden-variety of gardener.

Did you know, for example, that insects destroy 66 per cent of home garden crops in the country each year, causing a loss of $150 million? Are you taking the chance of ruining your laWn simply because you mow at the 'wrong time?

These tips, supplied by home gardening experts at the Union Carbide Corporation, will belp you make the grass — and plants — grow greener on your side of the fence.

Fertilizers Select a fetilizer on the basis of how much actual plant food it provides; you can tell by looking at the formula on the bag. The three hyphenated sets of figures tell you the percentages of (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the mixture. "10-6-4" would mean that the fertilizer contained 10 per cent nitrogen, 6 per cent phosphorus and 4 per cent potassium. The rations are always expressed in this order.

Nitrogen is an all-important ingredient in fertilizer which gives grass that luscious green color. Consequently, the higher the percentage of nitrogen, the less fertilizer you have to use to get good resluts. You should put on 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1.000 square feet of lawn at least three times over the season.

Fertilizer should be pulverized and applied evenly to prevent "burning" of grass and to provide uniform growth.

Apply fertilizers just before a rain, or water thoroughly after the application is made.

Insecticides Each year, insect pests are responsible for widespread damage to homeowners' gardens -- and lawns as well.

Wednesday, July 31, 1963 Chinch bugs, for example, can leave your lawn a dry, Shrivelled desert; they actually suck the juice;; out of your grass. in the summer, each female lays about 500 eggs; unless you use an insecticide, your lawn will be filled with 500 times as many of these harmful insets by the end of the summer!

Today, with all the recent excitement about sprays and soraying, safety in an insecticide is an important factor. You, your family your neighbors and your pets all mud be taken into consideration when applying a. material to control insects on lawns and in gardens.

One pesticide, whose scientific name is carbaryl, is effective on a very wide range of insect pests, and agricultural tests have proved that. il L; tale of the safest materials on the rI:et at the present time. Called S;-ev in, this insecticide is said to provide long-lasting control of more than 150 (lifferent insects — including those immune to DDT — and may be used on over 50 different garden crops as well as most ammonly-grown ornamental plants.

Used on your lawn, it kills chinch bugs on contact even destroys their eggs.

Weeding Many lawn-care experts will agree that the only truly certain method of complete weed control is hand eradication. You've probably found that crab grass is your most troublesome lawn weed. If you haven't already removed the crab grass plants as soon as you recognized them, be sure to cut out all crowns of the species before miild-August in order to prevent the plants from reseeding. Your garden supply dealer can recommend a number of chemical crab grass killers, however, and also compounds to knock out broadleaf weeds like dandelions.

One way to control weeks in your garden is to use mulching materials.

A mulch prevents weeds from growing, bemuse it shades the ground. Weed seeds do not germinate under the mulch, Remember to make sure that the ground between the pi:nits is free from weeds When you place I he mulch.

Mowing As one expert explains, "though grass may be 'the 'hair of the earth' that doesn't mean it should be shaved like whiskers. On the contrary, it Should get only a 'crew cut'."

Mowing actually injures the blades of grass. The shorter a lawn is cut, the more difficult it is to keep it in a good lealthy condition.
