Ve stkedu, doe 2. lijna 1963 MASARYK FILOSOF SESTAVIL J. B, KOZAK CO JE VZDELANI VSEOBECNF? Snaze se da odpovedet, co vgeobecne vzdelani je, neZ jak si je osvojit. To je hlavni otazka, jako vtibec pki praci beo metodu; beti-li o metodu specialistovi, je gte vice o ni heti pki vzdelani vgeobecnern; zde si elovek nemetodou mnohem vice unite Akodit. Ptedevgim je potteba prate klasifikovat a pak je organisovat v tom smyslu, jak se orga:nisuje hospodaksky.

Jak klasifikovat? Jsou umele a pkirozene klasifikace, a je velky fikol poclat klasifikaci vaech praci, klasifikaei, ktera by tu delbu provadela podle pkirozenosti pkedmetu sameho. Co si predstavuji klasilikaci pfirozenou, vylotim tim, te povina, co je klasifikace neptirozend. Nepkirozend, je klasifikace tam, kde neel klasifikace a organisace netkvi ye veci. Tak na pi., kclyt kapitalista neznajici praci organisuje ruzne pracovniky, pracovnici nemaji ani poneti, komu slouti svou praci; to je pkiklad 'organisace eiste onechanicke zisku spoeivajici. Vet gina organisaci price vznikla eiste z praktickych Celt). Vetgina) organisaci se vyvinula historicky; nemyslelo se mnoho o tom, a ted' ex post musime ty organisace napravovat.

Socialni otazka je pokus o klasifikaci a organisaci pkirozenej gi. Ale tato socialni otazka se take dotYka, vedy tou merou, v jake mezi fysickou a dugevni P ra ci rozdilu neni. aclame tedy v oboru duchovnim klasifikaci a organisaci price. Jen takovou pkirozenou organisaci, kde se postup od jednoho k clruhemu cleje jako po stupoich, jen tenkrat je nam zarueeno v geobecne vzdelani; jakmile v torn chybime, pak pracujeme mnoho nadarrno.

Jestlite manle spravnou metodu, kdyt nejdeme mechanicky, nybrt od jednoho oboru k tomu, kde prace je podobnej g i a tim snaz gi, kde jsme pkedchozi praci pkipraveni pro budouci, pak mame zarueeno, te si takovou ekonomisaci sil dovedeme zjednat velke vedomosti. Proto otAzka po metode je tu velke Julezitosti. Takova, klasifikace je itkolem konkretni logiky. Pkirozenym utticlenim nabudeme jasneho vedorni toho, kde stojime y e svete, znalosti sveho okoli, syYch sousedit Toto deleni a sceleni je tak pkirozene, Ze pkevlada vgude, nejen v praci telesne, ale i dugevni, vklecke i umelecke. I umelci jsou specialists a v geobecni. Velici u-

VESTNIK meld byli east() specialisty v nekterych i ye vice oborech (Michelangelo, Wagner).

Co tedy vgeobecne vzdelani je? Neni sumou vedomosti, sice by konversaeni slovnik byl nejlepgim prostkedkem vzdelavacim. Lids s takovYmy encyklopedickYm vzdelanim nam neimponuji.

Vgeobecne vzdelani neni sumou vedomosti, protote vedeni je organismus, nee° tiveho ‘ To jsme my, kteki myslime, pracujeme, a v geobecne vzdelani — to je ten cely elovek, po pkipade cela tuna spoleenost. Proto jde o vedeni organisovane, spojene jedno s druhymy.

Dale v geobecne vedeni je nee° vyggiho net jednotliva veda, proto vgeobecne vzdelani neni ueenosti, pfeueenosti. Ta je obyeejne adelern specialisace, mene vgeobecneho vzdelani. Ne teelnost beti, ale o tive, organicke vedeni, pkg.rozenou vgevedoucnost.

Nechceme v gak vgeobecneho vzdelani bez odbornictvi. KatdY v geobecnY vzdelance ma vedle toho loYt odbornikem; tim naloYva ptesnosti. Jen, tou merou, kterou je zaroveii specialistou, vyhYba se diletantismu, kterY bYva fulelem vgeobecrieho vzdelani. Proti diletantismu je jediraYm lekem specialisace. My v gichni do jiste miry jsme diletanty, pomahame si v rozlionYch oborech popnlarnimi spisy, ale nesmime se klarnat, te pokud neni spramne metody pti tornto v geobecnem vzdelava,ni, jista nedovzdelanost, polovieatost snadno se stava ktdelem katdeho, kdo o toto v geobecne vzdelani usiluje. Prave does je yelike nebezpeei stati se polovzdelancem.

Diletant je elovekem jen pkedmluvY, jen titulniho listu, to je to povrchnost.

Diletantismus je rakovina nejen rozumova,, ale i mravni; ma gpatnY vliv na charakter. Vzdelani, jak z nas dela eloveka, mute z rids udelat 1 neeloveka.

Je vzdelani dobre i zle. Vzdelani se easto stava potitkatsvtim a utiva se ho easto jako stimulans, jako eerne kavy.

Lek proti tomu: pochopit, co je 110 pfesnost place, co je to price v malem.

Tak pfirozene je toto na ge touteni po vgeobecnem vzdelani, to vgecky nage gkoly posud podavaji jen vzdelani vgeobecne. Specialistickou nemarne vlastne posud ani jednu gkolu. IVIame obecne Skoly, gymnasia, universitu vgecky tyto gkoly podavaji vzdelani vgeobecne.

Je do velke miry ukolern sebevYchovy, specialisovat se. Ale nejen pki specialohm take pki vgeobecnem vzdelini je tkeba sebevYchovy. Zajiste vzdelani gkolou nepicestava. Kdyby Akolstvi bylo lepgi net je, Kdyby zejmena lepe odpovidalo pfirozene organisaci price, bylo by odleskem pkirozene klasifikace pra-

ce. Tim dues neni. Nate fakulty se vyvinuly stoletimi a stoletimi. JakYsi plan je v nich, ale ne ve1ky. Does university davno se ptetily, to tkvi prave v tom nesourneru mezi prirozenou organisaci price a mezi historickou formon organisace price. To je kus socialni otazky. Proto problem jednotne sttedni a vy ggi je problem novY. Vedle gkolstvi zejmena turnalism je organem vzdelani, odtud ohramna jeho odpove'dnost.

Vgeobecne vzdelani se chrani nejen specialnim vzdelanim pled diletantismern, ale i tim, te se prohlubuje filosoficky. Delirn vzdelani na specialni, vgeoloecne a filosoficke. Filosoficke vzdelani je neco docela jineho net li geobecne. Vgeolbecne vzdelani filosofickYm prohluloujeme. Vgeobecne vzdelani diva multa a filosoficke rnultum, IL VEDA A FILOSOFIE 1 Co je veda a vedeni reclou rozumirne ureitou soustavu poznatkt, vztahujicich se ku ptedmetu nebo ku pkedmettirn jisteho druhu.

Soustava takova, neni pouhYm sestavenim, ale prorny glenYin usporadanim, ;Olt pravdivost a pfesvedeivost poznatkit vynika. Prot° vedeni teprve v konkretni forme vedy stava se vedenim pravYm: vecia je vedenim. Poznatky y edecke, jak uz Aristoteles potadoval, mate byti co motna, v geobecnYmi. 0-dem nage vedecke poznatky jen do to miry jsou vgeobecny, do 'dere na ge elovecke stanovisko nizoke dovoluje; tak na pf. psychologie posud vedou je takkka, jen o du gevnim titi dorostlYch, sociologie jen o spoleeenskych a historickYch jevech lidskYch atd. Jen v tomto smyslu vedy vyhovuji logickemu potadayku vgeoloecriosti. Katcla veda svou zyla gtni metodou si poeini. Vedeni ptesneho bud' same nabYvame neb od jinYch k nemu jsme vedeni; vet gina lidi, jak uz bYva, uei se od jim'reh a proto dal gi vlastnosti vedy jest i e je ueebnost.

2 Pojem o vzdelani vgeobecneho Uz Aristoteles liSil "vzdelance" od specialisty. Does jests vice vzdelani v geobecne se poladuje. olovek, dokonce elovek moderni, touti po v gevedoucnosti; gkoly, Casopisy, revue, encyklopaedie vyhovuji tomuto potaclayku. vzdelani v geobecrie bYt nahodou sloueeninou v gech motnYch na nemotnYch poznatkii, musi filosofie lirdit vYber litky a konkretni logika musi didaktice a pedagogice ureit postup vzdelavaci.

8 3 Rosahlost lidskYch vedomosti vyiaduje tkideni Pii nynejei rozsahlosti lidskYch vedomosti, pii mndstvi ved,' cuk vyvinutYch a stale se vyvijejicich, koneene pH vzajemnosti ved, tvoticich veechny dohromady jednotny celek, tkideni ved je nutnkm pdadavkem easorkm, oveem velmi nesnadnkm.

KaZda, klasifikace ved je vice mane umela ne2 pkirozena. Tot' tkvi ye veci same, hlavne v torn, ze mtiZeme se na kaalou vedu divati se stanoviska objektivniho a subjektivniho, ze mtrZeme ji posuzovati dle ptedmetu vedniho a dle vedeni naeeho. K tomu ptistupuje ta zavaZna okolnost, ze z tech, kdo klasifikuji, nikdo ved yeech nezna, eim'Z nutne jakasi nejednotnost, jednostrannost a obmezenost v klasifikaci se objevuje; nebot' hlavnim pravidlem dobre klasifikace jest, aby klasifikujici co nejlepe znal pkedinety sve. KaZdk yedec zptsobem docela osobnim, z nevedy probird se ku vede a nejen logicky, ale namnoze 1 psychologicly, take nesnadno je velmi nalezti dobre delidlo ved tak mnohkch.

5 Potteba klassifikace ved pro ureeni podstaty filosofie a sociologie Zive si vzpominam na nejistotu, ve ktere jsem se ocit'oval na poeatku sykch studii akademickYch; chtel jsem studovat filosofii a zaroveri jsem mel sklonnost k sociologii — ale jak se elovek stone filosofem? Co a jak musi studovat? Matematik, fysik, take pravnik a medik ma ureitou vedeckou drahu, ma dokonce ureen terrain aobsah zkouSek, ale — filosof? Doktor mediciny smi Tacit, ma ureitou drahu praktickou, ale doktor filosofie? Titul, vie nit ba smi volit poslance...

Sbiral jsem ruzne definite filosofie, Ceti razne ptednaely o "domnelem tipadku filosofie" a pod. themata, zejmena, ptednaSek vstupnYch, ale nezrnoudtel jsem. Ve sve ilzkosti osmelil jsem se prosit o radu slavneho filosofa abych pry prostudoval &Only filosofie. Divne rune to bylo: dejiny filosofie, ale ja, bych se byl spokojil filosofii. NeZ dal jsem se do chronologickeho studia filosofil a to utkvel jsem heed na Platonovi. A prave to take mne chytlo, jiZ Plato se trapil definici, co je filosof a co je sofista. Platonovy klasifikacim ved pozdejSim a tak jsem se fadou dostal al ke Comteovi. U neho nalez1 jsem zaroveri poueeni o torn, co je sociologic. Pochopoval jsem, ze ripinou klasifikaci, ripinkm vylieenim fed specialnich take pojem a obor filosofie ptesneji bude ureen. Tak vznikly: Zakladove konkretni logiky,

VESTNIK -Je patrno: Upinou klasifikaci ved ureuje se misto, jen kaZda vecla a sped.alne sociologie ma v soustave vedeni, soustave ved. Urenje se tim zaroveri pojem filosofie. Videt z vkvoje logiky za posledni leta- a videt to zejmena take z metodologickYch prod specialista sociologicketo•doom ((stavovedca, ekonomikta atd.) jak klasifikace ved ne na lehavYm akolem novodobe filosofie: obzyldete take veliky a bohatk obor ved sociologickYch ("socialnich", jak tikava) nuti ke klasifikaci. No pi. C. Menger z ekonomikt, Jellinek ze statovedoil, Lehmann z pravniktr atd.

Pro sociologii je pouenk prave Comte, jak klasifikaci veil a urenvanim pojmu filosofie ustanovuje pojem, obor a metod,u, sociologic. Comteovi to byld tim nutnejei, ze v dobe jeho o podstate sociologie byly pojmy mnohem neural.tejei ne2 dnes; ostatne jasni se nazory posud jen zvolna. Kdy‘Z jsem pied lety mluvival o sociologii, mnozi ueeni panove nedovedli slovo a pojem odlieit od — socialismu; dnes alespori zdomac nel nazev. Podobne se sociologii vedlo Nemecku, teprve v poslednich letech Comtetv ( p ry nadmiru nefilologickY) nazev: Sociologie tam zdomacriuje. prase se sociologii jsou obtiZe zyldetni, to pozorovat uz z toho, ze se stale jests tak mnoho pile o rnetode sociologic.

Mndstvi sociologickkch disciplin nuti k ureovani pomerri jednotlivkch ved mezi sebou a k sociologii, k teinu2 ukolu vede ruznost ekol, resp. metod (na pi. v ekonomii).

6 Filosofie a vedly. Definice filosofie A co koneene je filosofie joke je jeji postaveni v soustave ved, jeji nomer k vedam?

Otazka ta filosofrim vzdy byla paleiva a dues dokonce mnoheho upiimneho piitele filosofie znepokoujuje. Minuli easove, kdy • "kralovna ved" odborniktim ptedpisovala, eemu ueiti maji a smeji!

Ted' naopak ,odbornici s pohrdanim a a nedriverou pohlfieji na filosofy a zaeateonici, kteii klopktli o neznarnk kemen lanebo brouka jeSte neklasifikovaneho rozeSlapli, s velikkm sebevedomim mluvivaji,o muaIch, kteti, byt' i chybovali, piece jen idirmyslern daleko a daleko vynikali nad nmohYm rnodernim "odbornikem". Filosofove sami becluji o ripadku vedy sire, paadavIcy sve zmirriujice kahlkm 'dnem a pilne zaznamenajice, kde nejakk pkirodozpytec pochvalne se zminil 0 filosofii nebo dokonce nutnost studio, filosofickeho dokazoval.

Mame-li se ted' semi pokusiti o ureitou definici, einime tak, pilne si veiInajice nazora jinYch, hlavne vSak na

Ve stiedu, dne 2. kijna 1963 mysli m ti buderne vase tfideni a soustavu yen, aby tota filosofie naproti vedam specialnim naldite vynikala.

SlYchati east°, ze prk je filosofie jecinotnkm nazorem svetovYnn, jak jiZ Descartes a Leibniz ji zvali scientia generolls a universalis. Definice tato se nam zamlouva, jenZe musi bkti vyldena, a obsah pojmu musi se uolankovati, site by jim malo bylo teeeno.

Je prayda: elovek od pkirody netoliko po vedeni baZi, ale po yearn. jednotnem. KaZdY elovek, kterk o svete a sobe picemkeli, nerna pokoje, pokud neodpovedel k zahaddin v rriznYch oborech a pokud vedeni a ye neuvedl v logicky soulad, pokud, tedy, jak kikame, jednim duchem nevysvetluje sobe yee, co Zivot k vysvetleni mu lava.

Tako,ykto jednotnk nazor musi bYti ripink, musi vystaeovati pro vaecky ptipadnosti v teorii i ye praxi; kuse a neirpine veden nemUe uspok'ojiti teorereticky a jeete merle' prakticky.

Takovato Upinost a jednotnost jak jednotlivci, tak i spoleenosti nutne je pottebna; nebot' tad spoleeensick nemde byti pevnkm, rozchazeji-li se rozumy ye vecech mnolrYch a zavaZnych.

Pokud anechanismus spoleeenskk na ideach je zalden, jednotuk nazor svete jest podminkou jeji trvani a zdarneho pokraeovani.

Jednotnk nazor svetokS T t)ro nas musi bkti vedeckk. Z toho vyplYva, soma sebou, ze na ten eas jest a snad vklycky bude nenpiny. Nebot' upin; svetovy nazor vedeckk byl by veevedoucnosti a to eloveku Zadnemu Se nedostava. Jestit` chapavost lidska piilis slaba, a naclani lidi sebe genialnejeich pH nynejSim rozsahu prace vedecke nevystaeuje.

Se stranky objektivni na pruneti mejme, ze prava vedeckost a pokrok ved jen specialisaci prace je zabezpeeen, 2c tedy nesmime se vzdati odbornictvi; ovAem 2'e ptiliena specialisace, jak nam narodni hospodati s dostatck povidaji, neblahe ma &inky na ducha a, jak Comte pekne ukazuje, ohroluje vYstted nosti svou pokrok vedy same. Ale jak zjednati si vecnk nazor a svete, kterk na odbornYch studiich by se zakltadal?

Filosofie vedecka toho pevne se dr21me — jen odbornYm vedenim bkti Vedy specialni mail svtij zvlaetni ptedmet; ma filosofie take nejakk svfij ptedmet? Nekteti ze ma. Spencer na pt. ji ponechava "nepoznatelne".

JIM zase nektere vedy pokladaji za filosoficke, zejmena; psychologil, take sociologii, estetiku, logik y , noetiku, etiku, filosofii, nabdenstvi.

ye stfeclu, due 2. fijna 1963 Zase jinake je ureeni filosofie, 'ae fllosofie nema vlastne sveho zvlaetniho predmetu, ale ae pry je sloueenim ved nekolika, pa pripade veech v jedno.

Oveem tim zase vznika z yldetni predmet, totia vesmir jako celek, kdeato vedy specialni maji jednotlive toho celkti east celkovy :nazor o svete a aivote, tot' filosofie. Comte myslil, ze k filosofii netteba vice net nejveeobecnejei poucky ved abstraktnich; Comte zaro. y en kladl vahu na metodu ved.

Ureeni filosofie mute se dale dit binaci uvedenYch mute se ji totiZ ureit nejaky z yldetni pfedmet a zaroven mohou se veekere vedy prohlaeovat za filosoficke. To se deje easto; a lisi se pak filosofie jako metafysika a, vedy` filosoficke".

Koneene lze zvlaetni zpfisob a kvalitu myeleni prohlaeovat za filosofii. To se obyeelne delavalo miuvilo se a "kralovne lied", a moudrosti atd.

Filosofie, jak vidno, je do znaene miry osobni, individualni, je do anatne miry historicky ustavend. Proto v rfiznYch dobach , mela nejen rfiznou metodu, ale take rUznY obsah. Pohledneme-li do historic filosofie, vidime, jak na poeatku filosofie byla jednotnYm celkovYm nazorem o svete, protak nebylo poznatk y mnoho. Juke u Platona yeecky vedy splYvaji v jedno, filosofie je laskou k poznani, laskou k moudrosti.

Jia u Aristotela se z filosofie vydeluji jednotlive vedy a proces ten pokraeuje, aZ koneene clues vedy jako psychologie, estetika, ba i logika stavaji se vedami samostatnymi, Ale tou merou, kterou vedy osamostatimji, kterou se specialisuji, filosofie stave se nalehavYm ukolem nove doby. Oveem yyZaduje doba naee filosofie ponekud, jine docela, nova arci nemilae byt, jako nic na svete neni docell nave.

Filosofie dnes musi byt vedecku. Ne. chceme, aby byla nad vedami (stard meta — fysika), chceme ji mit ve dach. Filosofie vedecka, jak fikame.

KaZdY filosof musi byt v nejakem 0boru, bud ye -Ode cele nebo v eastech, odbomikem.

Filosofie bude organisatorem vedeckeho nazoru o svete. V torn tikol je dvoji. VecnY: vybirat a scelovat jiste poznatky ved. Comte myslil, 'ae stael nejvAeobecnejei poznatky ved !abstraktnich; myslim, ae filosofie, vyvijevei se posud hlavne myelenim abstraktnim, poeind se obracet ke vedam konkret nim a praktickym. Metodicky ukol filosofie: synthese celku.

Filosofie jako celkovji nazor na svet je v stupnici ved posledni, osvojujeme

VPSTN si ii Poznamnim ved co mnina yeech, alespon vedeckYrn vzdelanim veeobecnym; zarovefi veak filosofie veem yedam je zOkladem vecnYrn metodickym.

Podle toho bych pfedmet filosofie pfesnej i ureil takto: 1. Kaada vecla specidlni ma byt pestovana "filosoficky", t. j. se stalYm zrenim k celku.

2. K tomu napomaha logika. Logika abstraktni a zejmena noetika jakoZto uvedomeni nakho poznavani, logika ;konkretni klasifikaci a organisaci poznatkfi a ved, logika prakticka navodem, jak vedecky pracovat.

THE EDF

Another State Talent Contest has been conducted and become history.

A new State Queen and King were 'chosen to reign for the coming year. " It was a glittering occasion, and the atmosphere was charged with much excitement as the hour approached to announce the talent winners and -the new royalty. The event, as must be known by many people by now, was held at the new Seaton Star Hall • (Lodge 47).

• The talent entries were 'exceptionally good. The youngsters did beautifully.

About the only shortcoming of the whole evening was the fact that there were not enough, entries on all levels.

There could have been many more Some of the districts had no participants at some of the levels and age groups. Two districts were not represented in the queen and king competition. The speeches given by the district queens and kings contained much wisdom, and they showed they had been well researched. Note elsewhere in this issue that we are publishing the speeches of all the five queens and kings who participated.

We wish that all the entries could have won, but in this type of thing, there can be only one winner. Consequently we salute the various winners In the different divisions and age groups, (see pictures and captions, this issue), and we also salute ,Sister Frames Miller, the new State Queen, and her King, Alan Hensel, both of Lodge 66, Waco. All of these people worked hard. They deserve our support and attendance. Were YOU there?

Thanks also go to the Host Lodge Seaton, for extending their _hospitality to all the districts.

We felt very honored and complimented this week when the Attorney General in Austin sent us a communication. Since it concerns not only your

most effective way we can work together. I shall always be grateful to you for your advice and counsel.

Yours very truly, Waggoner Carr

The Attorney General of Texas Austin, Texas Mr. Nick A. Morris Supreme Lodge Slavonic Benevolent Order P.O, Box 85, West, Texas Dear Mr. Morris: I acknowledge receipt of your nice letter of SepteMber 4th with the 'enclosed issues of your fraternal Herald, I have been greatly inspired in reading your comments concerning our activities designed to help decrease the disturbing increase in juvenile crime in our State.

Certainly, I cannot overemphasize the importance of your support and the support of your readers as we join together in fighting this cancer which threatens to destroy our country.

I want you to know that you shall continue to have my support in this important fight. Let me know the

I took the liberty of sending Mr. Carr • the issues of the Vestnik, containing the articles on his fight against juve7nile delinquency. I thought he would appreciate knowing that there is certainly one organization in the state which tries to keep its youth occupied with useful, wholesome entertainment, and off the streets and out of mischief. We need to further strengthen our efforts in this direction, for it is in our youth that our future lies.. If more bodies would join us in keeping young folks BUSY, there would be less time for a lot of tomfoolery. We cannot stand to have this "cancer" sap the energies of our young people too much longer. It is costly, and it doesn't make sense. All of- this is another good argument (if there is any need) for the upcoming &UST Youth Camp, which will come up at the next convention (1964).

Here's something I've had on my desk for a long time, and every once in a while, something occurs to remind me of it. It is another matter of proper etiquette in public places. An audience NEVER applauds the national anthem — the American or Czech. An audience NEVER applauds serious church or religious music, music that would ordinarily be sung ONLY in church. Neither the "Star Spangled Banner" or "Kde Domov Muj" are to be sung on the spur of the moment — extemporaneously, but rather ONLY as a part of a PLANNED portion of a formal program. In short, they are to be treated with extreme care, caution, and respect. They should never be done so as to cast a reflection of disrespect on either of the two countries. They are serious, solemn- compositions, and you

cases in the six. metropohtan areas of Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. The data represent foreclosures under FHA a insured, VA - guaranteed, and conventional mortgage loans that occurred :during the 12-month period ending in March, 1962. Information was obtained. from the files of both private and goyernutent lenders, supplemented by direct reports received from a large number of former home owners through mail Questionnaires or interviews.

The findings as recently reported by the Housing and Home Finance Agency show that death or illness together represented the primary reason, given by borrowers for one out of every four foreclosures under FHAinsured home financing. The proportion was higher in three of the metropolitan areas, and in New York and Los Angeles outranked the income factor in loss of the home.

In the case of VA-guaranteed mortgage financing, death or illness were given as the reason for more than one out of every -five foreclosures, with higher proportions. in Dallas and Detroit. No composite figure comparable to Cuose for FHA or VA was given for foreclosures conventional mortgage loans, but the proportions of the death or illness factor in the six metropolitan areas ranged from about one in 20 home foreclosures in Dallas to more than one out of . every five in Detroit and Philadelphia.

Income and Other Factors Curtailment of income, principally from layoffs or a cut in the work-week or wages, was the main reason for loss of the home cited by more than on_e out of every three , borrowers under FHA rnortga: ?,'e financing, and by two out of every five VA borrowers. The leading income curtailment factor under convention.al loans was "business loss or failure." Loss of income was the reason for sornening over a fifth of all conventional loan foreclosures in. Dallas to three out of every five in Detroit.

Two other significant reasons given. by borrowers for the foreclosure of their homes were increased housing costs clue to rising property taxes and maintenance and repair expenses, and "nntrital difficulty." The largest proportions of FHA and VA foreclosures were on lower-priced homes, those purchased for under $15,000. In the great majority of cases, these were acquired either with no down payment or downpayments of less than 5 per cent.

The number of nonfarm home fore-

Wednesday, October 2, 1-963 flosures topped 86,000 in 1962, over two-thirds greater than in 1960 and three times the 1955 figure, but it represented only 4 per 1,000 mortgaged homes, according to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

• (See your SPJST organizer for details on our new home mortgage cancellation plan.) )0( INSURANCE IN TEXAS

By Hugh Williamson . Texas' need for industry has been well stressed over the past few months —and insurance is a big industry in, Texas.

It is second in size only to petroleum and growing by the minute, while oil and gas companies are, facing serious problems.

Insurance had its troubles a few years ago, but today the industry is sailing right along with not a storm cloud in sight.

One recent indicator is found in the annual report of the State Board of Insurance: "General industrial growth, again measured by total fees and taxes paid to the state of Texas, continues at approximately the same rate as last year. The comparative figures are $34,443,977.94 for 1960-61 and $35,707,636.86 for 1961-62."

The Board is :now occupying a handsome new building on the Capitol grounds. Cost of the building, $2,117,500, was paid, not by. the general revenue or tax fund, but by fees paid by insurance companies and their agents.

Per 11 previous years, the Board had occupied rented office space costing more than $100,000 per year.

Insurance incidentally; is a major taxpayer to the state. Out of all fees and tax paid to the Board, $32,549,523.67 was cleared to 9:7 ,e Omnibus Fund last year. The amount has doubled over the last ten years.

Insurance companies hold their annual stockholders' meetings on the second Tuesday in March, and the tone of these this year was one of optimism. To choose at random a few excerpts froM reports of these meetings: . $216 million dollars worth of insurance written in 1962. a. total of $701 millions of insurance in force, expectations of $840 or $850 minim,. level by the end of this year, and the billiondollar mark next year, a year earlier than expected . ." "... stockholders heard 1962 described as a year of record growth and major investment for the future."

Wednesday, October 2, 1963 ". . . one of the best years in the company's history." ". record highs in 1962 in new insurance in force, assets, investments and benefit payments."

Life insurance sales by TeXas companies will rea:ibf an estimated $7 billion this year. For 1961 . (last available figure) the total was $6.2 billion. Texans owned $32.2 billion in life insurance, more than triple the amount held 10 years before.

Tex.s. 4s-Owned and foreign companies vied with each other for business, both in this state and elsewhere] in the U.S. and abroad.

A huge chuck of premium income will remain in Texas. After paying expenses — including the salaries of company executives and employees — the money will go to finance homes, schools, stores, churches, business and farms. Texas Parade Magazine reports that in 1961 life insurance companies had total investments of $6.2 billions in this state.

Add up all of the insurance companies in Texas, domestic and foreign, life and alFother kinds, and you come out with 1,801. Some of them are little burial associations, some are tremen, dOus corporations.

They all add up to big industry.

This year our pear trees are loaded with fruit in our section. of the country; .possibly they are abundant elsewhere in Texas, and the homemaker tries to utilize the crop in as many ways as possible.

Dear Friends: First, we wish to thank all the kind sisters and brothers who helped with our State Talent Contest and Queen's Ball Sunday. Without your help and cooperation occasions such as we had would be impossible. We are planning a feast for you sometime in the near future.

We also wish to thank all of you participants in the contests. To me, this was the best talent contest we've had since SPJST started them. There was a ;great variety of entries which made it enjoyable. All of you have made us very happy and we hope and wish for you much success in the future. We 'have never heard so many good comments on any program as we had on this one. We should be proud to sponsor such programs, and those who take part in them should be especially proud because they can give such decent entertainment to both young and old.

Thank you ever so much for entering and we hope that you have encouraged those who did not enter thiS year to enter next year.

A majority of the officers of our lodge and some of .the ;members wish to go to Dallas on the 6th of October, Which. is Czech Day at the Fair; therefore, we decided to postpone our regular meeting day until the second Sunday in October, that is, October 13 at the regular time, so let us all remember the date.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: A special notice to all of your members concerning our next month's meeting.

There has been a change in dates due to other obligations.

The meeting will be held October 13, the second Sunday of October instead of the usual third Sunday. The time will be the same 4 p.m. followed by the usual family fun night. So come one and all, because there will also be a delicious supper served for your convenience by our Brother Vice President Ben and Sister Lillie Jarma.

Also everyone remember this coming Saturday, October 5 will be our annual "Vinobrani" dance, and We are inviting each and every one of you to come out and have yourself a good ole time, see you then.

Fraternally, Lillian Hamusek 1 0( NEEDVILLE, LODGE NO. 81

I was requested to inform members of Lodge Needville No. 81, that the lodge meeting, which was scheduled to be held October 13, on the regular second Stinday in the month, was postponed to October 20..

This change was made so that the lodge president, Brother Charlie Mat-

19 cek, could attend the District V Meeting in Galveston on. October 13. He is also Vice-President of the District.

There might also be other members who would like to attend the district meeting.

Fraternally, Mrs. Arnold Franek, Secretary, Lodge No. 81 ) 0( SOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends: Last month we had a most successful "Sokol Day celebration with a free gymnastic program, followed by a free dance. The affair was well attended — in fact our parking facilities were overcrowded and we had to use on-thestreet parking. All day it seemed as if it would rain, but finally, just before the program, the sun showed itself in all its brilliance and a wonderful afternoon was !had by all.

In about four weeks, on October 27th, we will present another free program — "The Sokol Circus." This is a program characterized by the circus • atmosphere with clowns and gymnastic acts. It will also be the last barbecue of the season, and is usually attended by many outiders as well as members and friends. So come early and get a good seat; the program will be presented indoors. Our programs are getting more publicity and the growing attendance is most gratifying. It can truly be said that Sokol programs are presented for purposes of entertainment and education.

We still have our formal gym classes every Friday evening. The classes have increased tremendously since last year and they are now at a point of being almost over-crowded. The classes are divided into two divisions for both men and women. We invite all people to attend without regard to age. Now, do not use age as en excuse for not attending because our adult male class is composed of men all over 30 years of age, and we shave other gymnasts who are much older and still in competition with our younger members.

Our training methods may not make you Olympic material but the exercises will make you feel better and gain you greater 'health. The social aspect is also a great factor for membership because our group is very congenial and plans are always being made for a swimming, dancing or other social party. So drop by our gym and visit with us.

Nazdar!

KOMENSKY CLUB, Ow SITY OF NEB AS A, LINCILI NI M4ASKA Dear Readers and Friends, The above is a picture of my Czech professor, Dr. Vladimir Kucera, and myself, taken at the Czech Festival in Wilbur, Nebraska, August 3rd and 4th.

The town of Wilbur (1,300 population) opened its welcome arms to 25,000 visitors during this two-day celebration.

Dr. Kucera played an important role in this festival as he does anytime, anywhere something Czech is planned.

At the festival this year. Dr. Kucera was in charge of the cultural program which took place on Sunday afternoon.

It opened with a pageant of 50 peOple acting out the legendary history of Ce.ch and Lech and the formation of the Czech race. Continuing for about two hours, the program set a note of Czech culture, history, and heritage, For many, ;t was the first time they had ever seen 'Obis "side" of Czech. tradition. Needless to say, the audience left feeling impressed and very Czech.

The town of Wilbur is already making plans for next year's celebration.

Fraternally yours, James J. Janousek P.S. For those of you who are record collectors, a long-playing album has been made of this program. On the album are: 1. Vocal Solos: Konicek, and Pada Bily Sinn.; 2. Vocal Duet: Nikdy se Nevrati, Pohadka Mladi; 3.

DISTRICT II (Janet CabIa and Larry Bartek) Larry: I am proud to be a member of the SPJST for several reasons. It provides good secur ity in life insurance protection, and what better protection in life can we have than good life insurance? I am a member of our Frat-

ernal Society since early childhood, and am proud of it. The SPJST also provides a good loan program to the members which I am sure everyone has taken advantage of.

We have youth activities and talent contests in which the younger members may participate, and have a chance

to display their talents and abilities.

This also keeps up their interests in the Society.

We have this new modern hall where we can come and enjoy good clean entertainment and fellowsr.-.1p which is symbolic of the good society that it is.

Janet: I am very proud to be a member of the SPJST, and I thank my parents for taking out my insurance policy at the age of two months.

The SPJST offers protection from infancy to the age of seventy. It not only offers life insurance protection but it loans money on the certificate, mortgage protection, loans on real estate, educational plans, and many others.

The SPJST has many activities planned for its youth,. Many of the lodges have organized youth clubs and 'here we participate in many activities.

It also has it own offi3ial organ, the Vestnik, which we receive weekly nd in it we read about our fellow members all over the state of Texas.

DISTRICT III (Frances Miller and Alan Hensel) Alan: Good evening . . . May I present her majesty, Queen. Frances of District III. Frances: Thank you, Alan . . . With pride we are representing our district, and more particularly, our Lodge No. 66. We represent a handful of members who revived a lodge on the verge of disbanding. We represent a growing membership who built our beautiful Linden Hall. In 1955 the growing lodge of approximately 10,0 members moved into the completed building. A continued improvement of its facilities now accommodates a membership of 300. All are herewith a part of this Occasion. With bursting pride we point to their efforts.

Alan: Queen Frances, as district winners in the Queen Contest, our lodge is joined by other lodges who could tell interesting stories of their own.

Since no union is stronger than its component parts, it is to the credit of our SPJST that we have joined together in districts for the exchange of ideas which brings about renewed efforts in each participating lodge. The past decade has seen, a tremendous growth of membership with a closer bond of understanding. Each lodge gained new friends in the brotherhood through district activities. Young people became acquainted throughout the district and the greatness of the Order impressed them. A potential force of

young leaders assured the future of the order. Thus, the district became 'an established unit of influence in the Order. Today we stand together, as representatives of SPJST's seven districts. We are indeed proud of this pro_ vocative statewide action of our SPJST. Frances: Just as we are proud of the past of our fraternity and today the activity of our lodges and their districts, we are also proud to be a part of the growing interest in our generation and all young people Who follow us into youth activities. I am glad our lodge includes us young people in their plans. Our first Youth Club was organized in 1058 with 13 charter members. Today, about 50 young people attend meetings. Many activities such as holiday programs, fund raising projects, membership drives and recreation socials keep us occupied.

Alan: Frances, our Youth Club has participated in every district event.

Programs, art and craft and talent contests were entered. We have lost and we have, won. Today yeti see us as district winners of the 'Queen contest. we were tonored to have won. Whatever the outcome of such events, we have learned a „great respect for our order through participation.

Frances: We have viewed the physical growth of our SPJST. We have evaluated its activity program.. But, at a time when youth needs bonds to support the moral fiber of their lives, it is greatly valuable to be 'active in an. established society of people who have deeply ingrained virtues of truth, thrift, honesty and industry: a people who prize freedom, family, and a /tight to fraternal society. All these add up to give us a foundation of our SPJST. We agree that in our own SPJST we are learning the concept of our motto, Humanity, Benevolence and Brotherhood, three great virtues for young people. No greater purpose can be served by a fraternity. We are truly proud. Thank you.

They work the year round with their district youth leader's, planning activities for the young people. include those. First of all, I believe we all realize that true fraternal organizations are riot a common oceurence in our world today. The dictionary defines "fraternity" as "a body of men associated together by a common bond of interest." It is with great pride that we are able to truly say that our SPJST upholds this accepted definition. It is a pleasure to be associated with a group that works together harmoniously to reach the goals that have been set before them. Secondly, it is rare in this hurried, busy, rushing, hectic, world in Which we live to find an organization that includes the entire family in their activities. It has become an accepted fact that nowadays the fathers have their clubs; the mothers have their organizations, and the children all have their own groups.

This is, of course, good, too. I believe, however, that each of us will agree that the family group who enjoys the activities of the SPJST together is enriched by this phase of their life and gains so much in so many ways. My family and I have derived much pleas ure from our membership in the lodge, and look forward to many more years of association with a fraternal organization of which we can all be proud.

Our Order has never been sued for a pay-off on a certificate from the time it was established 66 years ago. This is a record that many other companies

cannot boast about, and it is a point of great pride for all of us. These are only a few of the reasons why each of us should be proud to belong to our So-ciety, and it is my hope that in the future I can take a more active part in the activities of our SPJST. Thank you.

Lonnie: There are many reasons why I am proud to be a member of the SPJST, and I will state only a few tonight, since 'tC:ra time is limited. First, I will say that membership in the SPJST has been a family tradition on both my father's and mother's side, dating • back to my grandparents on both sides beyond 60 years. It only stands to reason that anyone would be proud to belong to an organization that t as been so highly regarded by 'his ancestors for such a long time_ Our SPJST was organized on July 1, 1897, with 25 lodges and 868 charter members, and on Dec. 31, 1962, we had 145 Lodges, with over 33 thousand members and over 37 million dollars 'worth of insurance in force. 'This continuous rapid g rowth of the SPJST is another reason for my pride in this organization.

I am also proud to be able to say that our fraternal organization continued insurance of all certificateholders who were active in both World Wars at the same premium rate at

25 which the certificate was issued. We did not raise our premiums, as did some stock companies, who increased their premiums as muoh. as $100 per $1,000 worth of insurance on their policyholders.

These are only a few of the reasons why I am proud to be a member of the SPJST. I am personally aware through my own experience of how a person can derive educational benefits through a certificate issued by this great fraternal organization. When I was 3 months old my parents took out a $2,000.00 18-year endowment certificate and I am now using this money to further my education. I am now in my second year of college and the endowment certificate 'has been a great help to me in reaching help to me in reaching this point. After reaching the age of 18, I immediately took out more insurance to continue my membership in the SPJST and be of some service to the organization in the near future.

FATNESS FEAR CAUSES TEEN-• AGE MALNUTRITION WI:tether they are fat or not most teen-age girls are afraid they are or might be. That's one reason why a good many of them are not eating adequately, says Dr. Evelyn Spindler of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Dr. Spindler, a nutritionist with USDA's Federal Extension Service, points to three other reasons why teenage girls are poorly nourished: They skip breakfast. They eat poor snacks, one-fourth of a day's calories may come from snacks. They drink no milk, or not enough.

The problem, as Dr. Spindler sees it, :is to erase the fear of being "overweight" from their minds by showing them how they can have normal weight and still eat good, nutritious meals.

It's important that youngsters understand bow a good diet contributes to correct weight as well as shiny hair, clear skin, and good posture.

Every teen-age girl wants to meet the approval of deer friends, so she's going to do what they do, snack, party, and 'even skip a meal from time to time.

But this need not be especially bad if the youngster does it sensibly. She can snack on nourishing foods as well as "empty calories."

By relating good nutrition and proper food selection to the habits of teenagers, parents can help their youngsters eat better. For example, Dr. Spindler suggests serving fruit juices at teen-age parties and dances. Make it the thing to do and the kids will love it.

Have nutritious snack foods in the refrigerator, ready for an after-school or evening raid by the teen-ager and his friends.And every day of the week serve good, well-balanced meals.

Don't preach nutrition, Dr. Spindler warns. Simply tell youngsters the facts, guide them, then try to put the selection of good food on their shoulders.

Make them responsible, but also make them feel that this is important to them. )O( Since World War II, more than 100 countries with a total population of over 2 billion (66 per cent of total world population) have received foreign aid amounting to 91 billion dollars from the U. S. Half the young men examined as selective service registrants were rejected in 1962.

Wednesday, October 2, 1963 like the writer — too tired to argue; the point.

Many of the 300 hands' on the ranch have never seen it all. This in spite of the fact that most of them have spent their working lives with the outfit. Such long average tenure becomes understandable. Along with coinfortable living conditions, the hands receive semi-monthly paychecks, bospitalization benefits, social security and a share in a ,generous retirement fund.

Oldtimers say that in pre-rodeo clays some of the punchers operated so far from communications a special rider had to be dispatched to tell them when to knock off for Christmas.

This cattle kingdom was put together

by W. T. (Tom) Waggoner and his father Dan, right after the turn of the century. They and their tens of thousands of cattle were forced back into Texas when the federal government ordered termination of grass lea uses with the Indians in Oklahoma Territory.

Do the reversed three D's of the ranch brand stand for anytheig in particular, strangers 'ask?: Ranch spokesmen reply that the D stands for Dan, was tripled to make burning or brand changing virtually impossible and reversed as an evecatching gimmick. Wags have come to say that the reversed "D's" stand for Dough-Dough-Dough. As a mall e -e of fact the ranei: currently brand:, only one D. This damages the hide less.

Dan Waggoner, e Tennesseean who founded the Three D ranch LAND OF THE THREE D'S Mighty Waggoner Spread Has Changed With the Times, But "Soil Is Beef" Remains its Maxim

By William C. Hancock The 530,000-acre Three D ranch centering in Wilbarger County, Texas, but including parts of Wichita, Archer, Baylor, Knox and Foard counties is reported to be the biggest spread in the nation existing in a single block under one ownership. Just open the ranch gates for over 30 miles east to west and 25 miles north to south and you will be

So successful an operation requires a high degree of organization. As a legal entry it is the Waggoner Estate Trust.

John Biggs, Waggoner son-in-law, is the trustee and general manager, K. M. Moore serves as comptroller. in T. McNamara is purchasing agent. W. E. McBroon heads the oil division. Tony Hazlewood fills the billet of general ranch foreman and L. G. Lehman as farm boss.

The marble-lined, escalator-equipped Waggoner Building in Vernon, dedicated solely to Three D business, has its own radio ihookup with the various headquarters buildings senV..,ored over the ranch: Some 10 of the 150 motor fleet units belonging to the outfit have two-way radio. Thus Three D officials maintain close contact with everything transpiring over their vast domain.

A measure of the terrific activity of Three D operations lies in the fact

Wednesday, October 2, 1963 that these motor fleet units travel each month distances totalling six trips around the earth.

"Approximately how many cattle are you now ranging on the Three D?" I asked Tony Hazlewood. He has been with the Waggoners for 50 years. He was dubbed "The best bloomin' cowhand ever" by Tom Waggoner before the latter's death in 1934.

"Not as many as before the great drouth of the fifties," Tony drawled.

"How many were you ranging be-,_ fore the big drouth?"

"More than now," he answered.

An indication of the magnitude of Three D cattle production may, however, be deduced from certain figures or record. After Torn Waggoner formed the Waggoner Estate Trust in 1923 Which freed him from many administrative duties and allowed him to devote more time to his true love of ranching, he raised calf production to as much as 14,000 head a year. In a period of 17 days, 8,068 calves were once branded! The over-all picture lhas not really changed too much since then, sa y the cowboys.

"If you actually don't know how many cattle you have, how do you know if you are being rustled? I asked.

"Well, we do know that we occasionally suffer small losses to rustlers.

Some calf rustling is going on all through this country and up into Oklahoma. Two years ago we helped break up a gang of rustlers. They are now unwilling but long-time farmers on the state prison spread in Brazoria County."

Tom Waggoner seems to have been the first range cattleman in his country to npbreed his herds. Records show that lie imported registered Shorthorn bulls as early as 1885 and turned them loose on his ranges in Indian Territory. By 1892 he had decided that Herefords were superior as range animals and shifted to that breed. Outside of mulch cows, the Hereford is the only breed on the Three D today.

Three D beef is still range bred. The 'outfit scorns artificial insemination.

E. Paul Waggoner, present head of the clan and last of the family name, regularly checks out the most important fat stock Shows and expositions throughout the West. Each year he buys more than 100 prize Hereford bulls from these outside offerings. He is known all over as "Mr. Bull Buyer."

His purchases are released in the Three D pastures according to careful design. Then they are taken up after a

VESTNrX few seasons and marketed to mitigate the threat of inbreeding.

"Soil is beef," runs the Three D im. This thinking threads through all the complex function of this eilaf 111011S outfit. It is obvious as fleets of powerful tractors break up the25,000 to 30,000 acres of soil being planted in feed crops. It is thrust into mind as light planes sweep up and down the prairies, poisoning insects so the beefproducing grass can , get the jump. It is suggested when helicopters spook steers out of unworkable shinnery.

The philosophy is apparent as great trucks roll up to the dehydrator plant at Zaeaweista headquarters and dump their loads of freshly cut sorghum onto conveyor belts. The fragmented cane is mechanically mixed with protein ,eoncentrate,alfalfa and molasses. Then the blend is stamped into i million pounds of balanced-diet pellets for distribution in the pastures — the largest on-premises operation of its kind in the world: The commercial trucks bringing molasses to the dehydrator plant hold 17 tons of the viscous liquid. The bill for the first load happened to be processed by an accountant — one of 60 Waggoner office employees -- who was ignorant of the existence of the new plant. He rejected the bill, The Molasses consignor called up in considerable dudgeon to inquire how come.

"While I realize that our Zacaweista cowboys can cutout a plague of Montana leclusts," explained he literal minded accountant, "they sure as thunder can't eat 17 tons of molasses."

"Would you mind giving me a figure for the approximate number of oil wells in the Three, Ta pastures?" I inquired of a spokesman froni of the division. in afraid I , do mind," he replied —although pleasantly.

"I see. The statement has been pubthat more than four thousand wells have been drilled on the property and that over half are still producing.

I note that some drilling is continuing.

Would a guess of 'more than two thousand producing wells' be reasonably close?' I presisted.

"It very well might be," said the man.

Anyway, since Clayco No. 1 blew ino April Fool's Day (no lass) in 1911 near Electra, oil well; have come to dot the prairie from horizon to 1.gorizon on Certain stretches of the pasture. And the most magnificent of Herefords graze in and out among them, As many as 19 oil companies have

operated simultaneously , on the ranch.

Toni Waggoner and his astute general manager for 41 years, Robert L. Moore, worked out a special oil lease ,form which provided them - a big edge dollar wise a well as regulating the where, wnen. n-,:d how of &Rung and :operating rh -forced an orderly and de y eloprnent of the oil resOurces, The operators wept and wailed to no avail. On. one occasion an operator wandered away into a sand bog.

When found three days later, his rescuers inquired if he were not nearly starved to death, "Hell no!" bellowed t'ne irate, oilman.

"There are enough provisions in a Waggoner oil lease to last a man a lifetime."

Beyond the boundaries of the Three D, the oil boom has raged out of hand.

Careless operators have covered streams with petroleum and filled them with salt water, choking out the fish and driving out the game. Many of the beautiful elms, black walnuts, rosebuds and cottonwoods have withered away in the noxious air. The once shinning hills and green prairies are blackened in places with oil.

Within the Three D pastures, however, great flocks of wild turkeys gobble from the bluestem gross. Endless coveys of bobwhite whistle from the lus'l prairies while countless blue quail barely trouble to move over enoegh to permit - ears to pass along the ranch roads.

As early as 1865, Toni Waggoner, while only a boy of 13, had listed "To •own the best ihorses" as one of his three major objectives. By 1900 he owned so many outstanding quarter horses that he . built a special track on his Wichita River ✓ oldings on which to race the speediest ones, He established a more commediouS setup at Electra in, 1920. Later he built an elaborate racetrack at Whiteface headquarters of the Three D. He had a decided preference for yellow ,horses. His famous sires, Yellow Jacket, Yellow Wolf and Yellow Bear remain household names among oldtime quarter ;horse fanciers. Light colored horses are still prominent in 'the Three D herds.

As with their cattle, Three D avoids inbreeding with their horses. Otherwise, "breed the best to the best and hope for the best," say they. The policy can hardly be faulted. The designation "Waggricr Horse" is a pedigree not Otherwise spelled out is accepted in the horse world as a ,guarantee of quality equivalent to a stamp of "sterling" in the silver trade.

Herschel McCarty — courtly, affable and able public relations man for the Waggoner Estate — took me deep into the pasture one afternoon to observe Three D cow horses at work. The chuck wagon (actually a motorized unit to,day) had moved many miles from the location given us. By the time we contacted the outfit, the cowboys had called it a day and released the remuda. The wagon boss was rather apologetic for having only 60 horses along, explaining that the crew had only a couple of days work in this particular pasture.

I walked out on a grassy knoll to photograph the animal. Each was a superb speciman of horseflesh. They were „grazing away into the wind. The willowy young cowpoke accompanying me sang out the names of several horses. Each one called raised his head and swung around to gaze eagerly at the youth.

"They certainly recognize their names and you too," I remarked in admiration.

"Yes, sir," said the lad. "They're from my string."

"Do you only ride certain horses out of the remuda?"

"Yes, sir."

"What if another cowboy wants to ride one of your string?"

"Oh, a pundher would rather some-

EST-NtK body fooled with his gal than with his horses," he replied earnestly.

Back at the wagon, I expressed pleased surprise tnat the remuda was remaining close by without hobbles :or attention from' a wrangler.

"They won't graze away very far," explained the wagon boss. "Those babies are products of long training. In the old days our horses were ranged until three, captured and broke out.

4 lot of 'em were wild as loafer wolves.

To their dying day, most of 'em would spook at the sligotest opportunity and buck like blazes before working. But it's all different now..

"For years -we've been breeding for 'kind disposition as well as for coil'formation and stamina. We take up ,our foals in their yearling winter, lot, feed 'em, gentle 'cm and break 'em to halter. We repeat this their second winter, substituting bridle' for halter.

We walk 'um_ under a blanket, later adding a saddle. In time we put light punchers aboard for short intervals.

Generally our new type horse won't pitch. Before turning elif out in the spring, we have the boys gallop 'em for short stretches. Wean we take 'em up the third winter, we commence light training in cow work. The fourth winter we put 'em into serious training and start 'em earning their keep.

"No Three D horse is ever overworked. He is worked only a few hours at a time under any circumstances. As a result `they like to work and like their riders."

The wagon boss' dissertation was interrupted by the eternal horseplay of the coWpo. .e. The cOffee we were drinking :L; so strong that a silver dollar wou'd 171: ve rebounded from the surface. B p i. h : ck. in the cook tent, two put ;hers ,;arted r.:' .lag the cook.

This cc; i •,• , 's :o nookie," said one, "that ill gonr,, set it on this here: post and let it rest awhile."

Toni Waggoner made quite a splash in thoroughbred breeding when parimutuel horse racing was legalized in Texas in 1933. He had already built the beautiful Arlington Downs race track between Fort Worth and Dallas. Ever on it search. for the best, 11.0, had even made an unsuccessful of fer-oi' .ous ion's 00:G for the o 0' V; -ilicroughbrei at e racing continued after epea. law in 1937.

Since then the ranch has concentrated on quarter horse breeding, But this has now developed into a two-

Wadnesday,.October

2, 1963

pronged affair: (1) quarter horses for cow horses; (2) quarter horses for racing purposes. The ranch itself does not race any of the get.

The racing of quarter horses has, however, skyrocketed overnight into such a big deal that an exceptional animal is worth a fortune. For example, Three D's foundation sire Poco Bueno commands a stud fee of $5,000.

Offers of up to $500,000 for him have been refused by Paul Waggoner.

"Elegant" normally would be a glaring lexical impropriety if applied to a working ranch operation for profit. But the adjective is a natural for the Three D. That is the visitor's conviction as he passes through the eye-catching stonearched Zaeaweista entrance with its precision clipped hedge and lawns and. its gorgeous flowers; as he gazes admiringly at the flower-bedecked baronial mansions towering over the various headquarter enclaves; as he contemplates the countless ranch buildings in perfect repair and shining paint; as he proceeds along miles and miles of faultless ranch roads fitted with engineered steel gates bordered by fences without a sag and never a weed in sight as he inspects steel holding pen after steel holding pen without a spot of rust; as lie considers endless costly machines and instruments cleaned, oiled and sheltered — a place for everything and everything in place; and as lie observes beautiful manmade lake after lake bringing life and color and refreshment to the erdless prairies as such an obvious expenditure of blood and sweat and tears.

It was almost a relief, therefore, to discover that even elegance can sometimes go slightly astray. The receptionist in the Waggoner Building is a stunning brunette from England. She talks with a veddy, veddy British accent.

I was lounging in the building coffee bar awaiting an appointment when a stranger seated himself near 1112. He said he was from Pitsburgh and had come to Vernon to discuss some oil business with the Three D. "You have the most beautiful girls in the world in Texas," he said, oggling the English rexptionist, "and that C.` a,8 accent slays me."

They were members of a small Protestant sect which had been persecuted in Germany. One of the chief attractions of Pennsylvania was that the governor of the colony, William Penn, a Quaker, "granted to everyone free and untrammeled exercise of their opinions and the largest and most complete liberty of conscience" — to quote the leader of the immigrants, Francis Daniel Pastorius. These first German immigrants to America set to work to clear the land granted to them and were the beginning of a prosperous colony of Pennsylvania Dutch, as they are locally called.
