Oddil dopisovatelfi Corpus (;111 .Mi, Texas Mill etenafi Vestniku: Doufaan, ze nebude z mista, kdyi nanekolik tadek o to schnzi sedmeho okrsku, kterd byla spojena s oslavou 501eteho trvani tadu 'Oslo 117 Robstown, jen2 se paadala 15. zafi 1963 v Community Hall. Kdykoliv mohul a je to v dosalm tak se rad podilim na tech nagich okrskovYch schtzich. Aveak nerad sam cestuji a s povdekem prijmu misto wine, kde bych nebyl na zavadu.

V nagi schazi ladu eislo 56, ktera se konala 8. zaii, bylo doporueovano bratrem mistopfedsedou Jim Kueerou, aby jsme vgichni co se chystarne jeti do to okrskove schilze, se sjeli a sokolovny v nedeli dopoledne a pak spoleene vyjeli do Robstown. S ptitomnYch elena nebyl pro takovy spoleenY zajezd z ohledu, ze kaZdY chce bYti volny a nekteki ti rangi chteli bYti na mists jests 'pied schnzi, aby se mohli sejiti se syYmi znamYmi a troSku si im zi sebou porozmlouvat.

JelikoZ' manZele Chas. Holdskovi meli volneho mista v jejich umele chlazenem vozidle, tak jsem k nim pfisedl a pohodlne se dovezi az na misto kratee po 9 hodine rano. Na prostornem nadvoi~i, ktere je vy gterkovkno bylo videti cull hodne tech osobnich vozidel vgeho druhu a povetgine znaely na prvni pohled prosperita jejich majiteId. Znatelny pokrok tam byl udelan„ kde stavala stares sin Moravan, pri moji pfecleglo navgteve dva roky zest, jeji misto zaujala nova budova uctyhodneho vzhledu. Osadnici v Robstown a dkoli, pinym pravem mohou byti hrdi na svid •novY stanek, kterY pine svedei o jejich pokroku.

13udova tato pekne zapada mezi ty jine vzialedne budovy, Mere jsou na farrnach poveUine vlastnene nagimi krajany a mnoholetYmi eleny nagi SPJST Jedhoty. Sotva 2- "e jsme piejeli pi-es mesto Robstown na zapadni stranu, po tests 44, uZ jsme podel testy videli pine pi-lkopy vody a nejen to, ale v Polich stala voda. Bylo tram keeeno, ze posledni dobu tam spadlo asi 9 palcu degte. Pole v gude u zorano po sklizni, kterk nasledkern dlortheho sucha, nroda byla slaba, prat' jinYm rokiim. Ono se to pfizniveji hledi budoucnosti vsticic, kdy'Z je viditelnd nadeje. Jako vgude jinde tak i tito rolnici mail svoje mnoholete zku gerrosti ze suchSuni a mokrYmi roky. Tech tak zvanSrch normalnich ern pramerne do-

Ve stfedu, dne 9. kijna 1963 brS7ch roku bYva po skrovnu. Nikde neni vSechno akorat, k tomu farmovani.

Uvnitr jsme se ptatelsky a po bratrsku pilvitali co tam itt byli sjeti. V kuchyni se rychle pohybovaly kuchatky a na venku kuchati co mel na starosti peeeni kuiat na rosti. Ze to, nebyli no✓aekove v pkiprave takoveho obedu, bylo lze videti jak obsazene stoly sine si pomahaly, spine naloMnych Pripravy pro jidelni listek vezme zkuknost a oni ji tam maji. VS'em chutnalo diky Vam! Pro poradatele je to nekdy teZlo, jak velke zasoby obstarat, ale povet gine ten odhad se dela, aby radeji neco zbylo, nee, aby chybelo.

Poeasy bylo priznive, az na nejak ten vy:SSi stupefi tepid, ale ono je to troSku nepohodlne, kdy si spoti oblek, Ja jsem nechal kabat v torn vozidle a trochu toho yYpoceni ze pry bYva zdra✓e Ze zaeatku jsem se zminil, ze rad jedu do tech schtizi, tak chci k tomu jeAte dodat prole. Na prvnim miste jest to vrozeria touha znovu sejiti se s tem!. starYmj. (promirite chtel jsem napsati mnohaletSrmi prately, spolkari.)

Na tketim miste je to nejdule2itejAi; vyslechnout vSechny poverene ittedniIky z okrsku. Z Hlavni firadovny a od f.a.dovSrch zastupcii. Mne nejvice zajima v tech schnzich vyslechnout novoty, jestli keenici je nepodaji pak mai k nim dotazi. Aby ty schuze nebyly jen tak jednotvarne, pro zmenu, by molo bYti do nich vneseno se strany zastupCu a neastnikil vice zajmu a nejakYm sltykem, neb dotazem, o2iviti a zbystriti tou Idvouhoclinovou lhfitu ureenou pro spolkove zaleMtosti a ne jen same formality . Ovg em bylo nas tam malo. Ze 17 radu bylo zastoupeno jen 9 tan, s poetem plitomnYch asi 30 elem a elenkyri. Od nakho radu rids bylo ve schfizi 5 pri vSivolavani, Ale V poledne jsem jich napoeital 19. Mo2na, 2e jsem iani v§echny nevidel.

My, co jsme pied deseti lety horovali o zalo2eni tech okrskii, jsme okkavali pine zastoupeni a lepSi einnost a pochopeni. Jiti doi podrobnosti CO jest toho pfieinou se mi nechce, abych to svekil papiru, za jedno nejsem k tomu a za druhe jest to zale21tost tech co jinn byly svereny nrady a pak se to netyka ra.du ku kteremu naSjezd se nam pfiblrtuje a tlosud fAe spi. Byl jsem uvedomen, ze az po prvnim lednu 1963, mohou bYti podavany navrhy do Vestniku. Nevim, co, jest

VES'TNiK toho prieina, nikdy pied tim Clenstvo nemelo treenouItu co psati od Sjezidu do sjezdu.

Mesic zadi byl pro nage vYtvarne umeni St'astnYm mesieem. Dne 17. zadi 1873 se narodil v malem. kroinediZskem clomku desk malid, narodni umelec Max SvabinskY (zemtel 10. Unora 1962) a 21. zati 1888 se narodil v Kostoligti v bdatislayskern kraji mall f solvenskeho narocla, narodni umelec Martin Benka.

Jmeno Maxe Svabinskeho, ktery by se byl letos doZil 90 let, je nerozluene spjato s historii Ceskeho vytvarneho umeni .konce minuleho a prvni poloviny tohoto stoleti. Patfil k slavne generaci Spolku vYtvarnych umelcii Manes spolu s A. Slaviekern, Janem Stursou, Ludvikem Kubou a dal gimi a vytvotil monumentalni dilo, at' jiZ ye svYch nastennYch malbach, gobelinu, mozaikach di grafice, v niZ zvla gte byl nepfekonatelnYm mistrem. Vytvodil bezpoetu portretu, del drobne unite grafiky, ex libris, po gtovnich znamek, kniZnich ilustraci, grafickYch listu, jejichZ nametem jsou kvety, krajinadske pohledy, motyli, mythologie. V roce 1910 se ujal vedeni neve zdizene specialni graficke gkoly na Akademii vYtvornYch umeni a eestnym elenem profesorskeho sboru Akademie vYtvarnych umeni byl aZ do sve smrti. Sve nejzavaZne gi dilo, obraz Zne, venoval Icratce pied' svou smrti eeskoslovenskemu lidu jako dar. Trvalou soueasti tradice eeskeho vYtvarnictvi v g ak ztistava cela Svabinskeho tvorba, kterou obohatil na ge novodobe umeni.

Narodni melee Martin Benka patdi k slovenske malidske generaci, ktera vytvodila zaklady slovenskeho narodniho vYtvarneho slohu. Jeho vYtvarne dilo rostlo v trvalem spojeni.se slovenskou pfirodou a slovenskYm lidem. Benka vyrostl umelecky z realismu 19. stoleti a stal se brzy jednim z nejvyznaenej gich slovenskYch time- lett V jeho tvorbe se vYrazne obrazilo i Slovenske narodni povstani, ktere se stalo ristdedni tematikou jeho del z let 1945 — 1947. Jeho dilo i potom zreac111 zmeny, ktere se po roce 1945 odehravaji na Slovensku. Nachazi jasnY umeleeky vyraz pro novY Z"ivot sveho lidu. Pdi jeho petagedesatinach byl Martinu Benkovi udelen titul narodniho umelec. )O(

SPISKIZ HRAD

Ji2 zdaleka sviti travertinove hradby SpiSskeho hradu, jen se vysoko. pne nad Spi§skYm Podhradim. Kdo a kdy jej zaloZil, nikdo dnes nevi. Usuzuje se 'Oak, ze to bylo na zaeatku 12. stoleti, a Ze to byla ptivodne drevend tvrz.

Do jeho dejin se zapsal vojvoda Koloman, kterY to ,dlel asi sto let pozdeji — v r. 1221. On nechal postavit kamenne opevneni, jakym se v to dobe mohl chlubit maloktery hrad. A prave diky tomuto opevneni odolavala pevnost titoktim Tatarti ye 13. stoleti. Hrad sice vypalil, ale nikdy jim nepadl v plen.

Slava Spi g skeho hradu byla, pak obnovena v r. 1249, za vlady uherskeho kraje Bey IV., kdy se z neho stalo hospodarske a peliticke centrum celeho kraje. Hrad mel pet nadvori a jen v jeho horni budove bylo 135 mistnosti.

Da1S1 jeho rozkvet nastava, ve XIV. stoleti, kdy je sidlern patriciatu spi gskYch mest, znameho tehdy pod Menem "Universitas XXIV regalium ci yitatum" (24 spiSskYch kralovskYch mest).Zhou filohu mel v husitskYch dobach. K husitum, kteri Spigsky brad obsadili v r. 1443 (drZeli jej pinYch. 10 let) se pridalo mnoho zdejkho utlaeovaneho lidu a pod vedenim Jana

VPSTNfx Jiskry bojovali spoleene, prott mad'arske Mechte. Do ranace tohoto kraje za„aclil take Alois Jirasek svuj roman "Bratrstvo", zejmena jeho posledni Cast — "Zebraci". Po odchodu husitit pattil brad Imrichu Zapolskeinu, *Potom Thurzovciim a od roku 1636 as do roku 1945 Czakyo ycfm. Jiz od, poeatku 18. stoleti jej vsak nikdo neobYval, vetk east zarizeni ,a sbirku zbrani odvezli Czakyovci do zamku v Hodkovciach, kde se nachazeji podnes. Spissky brad pozvolna chatral, as jeho zkazu dovrAil v r. 1780 polar, ktery vznikl pravdepodobne v hradni kreme ph paleni koraiky.

Sutiny hradu svedei vSak podnes o jeho vystavnosti. Protole pretrval staled a byl mnohokrat prestavovan, jsou na nem patrny rtazne stavebni slohy minulych veku. Jednotlive easti hradu se stupriovite zvedaji k vrcholu kopee.

NejniZe je prvni nadvori, ktere drive slouZilo jako cvieike vojenske posadky.

Dr uh S'm a tretim a etvrtym nadvorim, jea jsou bez zvla gtnich historickych pamatek, vede cesta do stf.ed,niho hradu.

Dominantou je , bYvala devatenactimetrova veZ, jeZ patrila k nejstarkm eastern a novejh palac na pate- nadvori. Hrad mival jests riekolik obrannYch veM a na vYchodni strand palisady.

DodneSka jsou patrny zbytky rozsahle rytirske sine, ktera byla postavena, stejne jako hradnt kaple, v gotickern slohu. Nektere arkaclove chodby jsou VOik stark, stavene v dobd romanske.

Zavitate-li nekdy o dovolene na vYchodni Slovensko, nezapomente navAtivit malebne zrieeniny Spigskeho hradu. Dostariete se tarn pohodlne', asi za pul hodinky ze Spigskeho Podhradi. .

NEJSTAR)§01 DIVADLO

V osmnactem stoleti bylo velkou madou pestovat divadlo. Tehdy je provozovalo podle vzord cisarske Vidne 'mita ho glechtickych dvord i dvoreekft Tim spiSe Schwarzenberkove, ktefi teto zalibe holdovali 112 drahna leta. Jejich rezidence zamek v 6eskem Krumloye — neustale ,dostavovana, prestavc,vana, nave a nove vyzdobovana, nesmela tedy prave v provozovani divadla zustat za cisarskyrn. dvorem.

Proto jiz roce 1760 rozhoduje Schwarzenberk: Je nutne prestavet starou drevenou divadelni budovu za hradnim prikopem, kterou v roce 1682 vybudo val a fSelijak vyzdobil prosluly solnohradsky divadelni pod,nikatel J. M. Schaumberger. Prestavet a renovovat rYtvarrie i technieky. Pris1i odbornici,

9 prohledli budovu a problasill, 2e by to bylo, priStipkareni. Feudal poslechl lidi znale yeti a rozhodl znovu; Drevene divadlo strhnout a na jeho miste pastayit zbrusu nove, zdene.

Oas posunul letopoent. Kronikah pi k LP 1766. Na jeviSti nove budovy se usadili tesari a truhlari, jeviSAni mechanici. Divadelni vYstrot a vyzbroj je naroena a sloZita. VSechno musi jit od pramiery jako na dratku, nic nesmi zaskripat: tahy, , prepadla., rumpaly, rampy , Z hlediSle bylo .neda yno odstraneno leseni. Divadelni mann Johann Wetschel a Leo Merkel se syYmi pomocniky dokoneili nastropni malbu a malifskou vyzdolau portalu, balkenu a sten. Byli na Xrumlov povolani od videnskeho dvora. KniZeci pan chce mit vkchno jaksepatri,D,obre vi, ze na cisarskem dvoke nelituji prostredky na ,divadlo, a Ze maji vehlasne odborniky.

Proto je pozval. Jedine ,architektonickV projekt laledike dovolil na skicovat synu Janovi. Wetschel a Merkel s nim ovSem maji spory. Je diletant, oni sve praci rozumeji. Maji uz na podlaze napnuta obrovska platna, maluji oponu, prospekty, suffity a tkulisy. Je tleba spechat, brzy bude premiera,. a .

Byla. Avgak co se hralo, a ktereho dne to bylo, pf:esne nevime. Ktere hry a opery tady byly uvadeny v dalkch letech? Take nevime. Zamecky archly ,dodnegka nedal odpoved'. Jeho Cast se peed ldty dostala do Rakouska a je nepripustna. MoZna, ze jednou jeho pomohou na tyto nezame. odpovedet. Nic to v g alk nemeni na faktu, roku 1767 bylo vaeskem Krumlove atevreno divadlo, ktere se podnes zachovalo se vSim vybavenim a zafizenim v Ptivodnim stavu, zcela nedoteene.

Krumlovske divadlo je nejen nejstarsi u nas, ale path i k ma,lu tak starych divadel v eels Evrope. Spoditali bychom je lehce nat prstech. Par je jich v Italil a po jednom v Nemecku, Svedsku a a nas. Jedineenost krum lovskeho zarneckeho , divadla je v torn, Ze se zde tichovala nejen jeho budova, ale i vgechny nebo valna, vetgina pfivodnich dekoraci, techniky, kostYmn, rekvizit, na vysoke vYtvarne a technicke firovni baroka.

PodivejMe se jests na chvili do historic, do doby, ktera dala zaklad dneAnim zdenYm divadlurin. Je to poeatek 17.- stoleti. V Italii dohasinajici renesance se rodi nova divadelni kultura.

Na trZigtich ziskava, proslulost improvizovana komedie dell' arts. V palacich se studuje antika. Podle vzord antickeho divadla vznika opera a dalk

zname typy divadel. Italie se rychie stave v tonito umeni velmoci, a jeji proslulost ovlivriuje Evropu, ktera naleza zalibeni zejmena v tzv. kukatkoveal rdivadelnim prostoru. V gichni jej zname. Od konce 17. stoleti, kdy vykrystalizoval, se do , dnegka prilig nezmenil.

Zakladnim znakem je hledigte oddelene od jevigte portalem, ktery umotriuje divakovi pouze delny pohled. Jevi gtni stavba, se sklada z kulis a prospektti, jet maji malirskYmi prostredky vytvaret dojem architektury, plastienosti a perspektivy. Jevi gte je oivladano maginerii provazigte a propadla.

Tak je tomu i v Krumlove. I dnes je tarn v gechno pripraveno ke hre. V baroknim divadle se totit nedelala vSrpraiva pro katdou inscenaci z ylagt% Divadla rnela stalY soubor dekoraci, Krumlove to je napr. les, zahrada, dve vojensky tabor la obletene most°, megVansky pokoj, zameckY kabinet, talar, slavnostni sal s dverna variantami: salovY pokoj a hluboky sal, chram a more, ktere se vini, a z neho't se mute vynorit i tralok. De'korace mely sve vzory v italskYch baroknich divadlech a jejich sloh se vice net jedno stoleti prakticky nemenil.

Technicke vybaveni krumlovskeho divadla je na svou 'dobu velice dokonale. A nejen na svou dobu, i dnes je katdy retiser a architekt nad g en, kdyt zjisti, ze tu lze ke hre pripravit soueasne tri sceny. Dokonce se zde dalo clelat setmeni: rampa s olejovYmi lampiekami na prednint okraji jevi gte se da spustit do propadla. Jsou tu instalovand zarizeni, j rinit lze vytvorit dojem vineni more, fungujici vodotrysk, letajici stroje pro nastupy ze vzduchu — to pro "nadprirozene bytosti", saritend vyvolavajici 'dojem hrrneni, buraceni a degte.

Gas pootoeil stoletim a posunl letopoeet. Je rok 1963. Jsme motnd z poslednich, kdo takovou jedineenost jegte spatril. Zanecllouho toho, nejstar gi divadlo v eeskoslovensku zchatra docela. Byvala Sta.tni pamatkova pace v roce 1956 zde zahajila restauratorske prace a nekolik let je dobre provadela.

Kdo vlastni velke obchodni a P aimYslove spoleenosti?

Z vYroeni zpravy General Motors Corporation v Detroitu, v Michiganu, vysvita, to koncem minuleho roku bylo vlastnictvi teto velike prirmyslove spoleenosti rozdeleno nasledovne: 770.000 akcii bylo vlastneno jednotlivci; dalgich 188.000 akcii bylo vlastneno skupinami, posistavajicimi ze dvou nebo vice osob; 101.000 akcii patrilo takovym institucim, jako jsou Majetky sverenecke a p'ortistalostni, poji gVovaci spoleenosti, fondy zamestnancri, fondy nadaeni 'a university.

Z teto kratke statistiky odrati se rotdeleni bohatstvi, system to, kterY je petzoruhodnou 'charakteristikou a,merickeho kapitalismu. G. M. (popularni zkratka pro ohromnou automobilku) je Po -Wu strance dobrou ukazkou big businessu.

Posledni obrovskY podnik, ktery byl vlastnen hrstkou lidi, byla Ford Motor Company, jejit akcie byly deny na trh teprve roku 1956. Nebude nemistne pri teto priletitosti upozorniti, ze velke easti zisku z tohoto prodeje bylo utito k zaloteni Ford Foundation, filantropic'ke, a nikoli ke zvY geni soukromeho bohastvi dedicti Henryho Fordo. PrijimanYm vzorem korporaeniho majetku ye SpojenYch statech je 'dries rozdeleni tohoto majetku ye forme akcii mezi jednotlivce, representujici vSechny vrstvy naroda.

Pokraeovani Jedne chvile byla velmi prekvapena jeclnanim lesmistra Sankata. Ten se del po cely weer s malou spoleenosti a neneastnil se ani tace, ani zpevu.

Ale on ma hodne penez a kdo ma penlze ma hezkou pani, ma vSechno co by chtel a snaze se ye aye° to protluee, neZ chudY." Nic na to neodpovidala, jeji myAlenky nesly se linYm smer -em a bylo hrozne lhostejno, jsou-li lesmistrovy deti chytre ci laloupe.

Bro. Frank B. Steiner of Dallas, brought up the matter of our surplus funds, and urged that the funds be used for some Useful, fraternal purpose. President Edward L. Marek, of the Supreme Lodge, expanded on this by stating that as a fraternal Order, we must distinguish ourselves by per forming and sponsoring humane, fraternalistic projects. That is what distinguishes fraternal insurance societies from other insurance companies.

Members of legislative bodies are forever casting around for sources of additional revenue, and the finger has been pointed at fraternals before, and it will be again.

• • Our SPJST Rest Home in Taylor stands as a monument to our fraternal spirit of helping our aged and infirm.

An SPJST Youth Camp will do still more in projecting and preserving the image of a fraternal society, whose basic aim and purpose is to serve our fellow man.

Brother Marek went on to state, along with Vice President Joe B. Hejny, that our Order is in excellent financial

A SMILE A smile costs nothing but gives much— It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forevei.

None are so rich that can get along without it— And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it.

It enriches those who receive Without making poOr those who give— It creates sunshine in the home, Fosters good will in business And is the best antidote for trouble— And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is of no value Unless it is freely given away.

Some people are too busy to give you a smile— Give them one of yours— For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly As he or she who has no more smiles left to give.

VtSTNiK CHANGES IN CZECH GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP In a full-scale government shakeup recently, Czechoslovak President Antonin Novotny dismissed Premier Vilem Siroky for "shortcomings in his work . . and certain mistakes in his political past," the official Czech Press Bureau reported. To replace Siroky, President Novotny appointed Josef Lenart, head of the Slovak Communist Party. Siroky had been appointed preMier March 21, 1953, and, like Lenart, had also been chief of the Slovak Communist Party. Siroky is 61; Lenart is 40. ) ( ARCHBISHOP BER AN RELEASED Ckechoslovakia announced October 3rd that it has freed the Most Rev. Josef Beran, Roman Catbolic archbishop of Prague, and four other confined bishops. It was a major develop' ment in relations between the Vatican and the Communist world.

Official word of the release first came from the Vatican. Later the news was reported in Prague by the official Czechoslovak news agency CTK. Released along with Archbishop Beran were Bishop Karel Skoupy of Brno, Bishop Jan Vojtassak of Spis, and the Most Rev. Msgrs. Ladislao Hlad and Stanislav Zela, both titular bishops.

LODGE MANAGER WANTED The Board of Directors of SPJST Lodge 29, Taylor, is taking applications for Manager of the lodge hall.

Members will be given first consideration. State qualifications and salary expected per month. Send applications to: Edwin Kovar P.O. Box 869, Taylor, Texas (Secty. - Treasurer THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Washington D.C. To All Law Enforcement Officials: There is a deep and abiding concern prevalent in our Nation today on standards of education at all levels. Teacher training, physical facilities, curriculums and the complexities of financial support all demand and are receiving wide attention. This is an encouraging trend, and it typifies the awareness educators and citizens have for the welfare of American youth.

While focusing ever-greater efforts on these challenges, we cannot afford

to ignore other effective defenses against one of our Nation's incessant problems — crime, an, enemy which destroys the very energy and resources vital to education.

The staggering toll of crime in this Nation is revealed in appalling statistics. The Uniform Crime Reports for 1962 reflect the commission of some 2,048,370 serious crimes during the year. More significantly, this exceeds the record for the previous year by 6 per cent.

With the exception of murder, which showed a decrease of 2 per cent, all classifications of serious crimes registered increases during 1962. Forcible rapes increased 2 per cent; robbery was up 4 per cent; aggravated assault and burglary rose 5 per cent; larceny of $50 and over shot up 8 per cent; and the frequency of auto theft jumped 9 per cent. The first half of 1963 saw another 9 per cent rise in serious crime.

The index used to measure crime in this country is greatly in fluenced by the fluctuation of the property crimes —robbery, burglary, larceny and auto theft — which occur in ever-increasing volume. In 1962, young persens under 18 years of age comprised more than half of all the ' arrests for these crimes.

Specifically, they were represented in 62 per cent of the arrest 's for auto theft, 51 for larceny, 49 or burglary and 25 for robbery. Although only a small percentage of the young people are involved in these criminal acts, the proportion who are becoming involved is increasing much more rapidly than the population of this age group.

Collectively, these young offenders are primarily school students. Certainly, here is an area in the "education" of our youth where there is dire need for improvement. Prevention of crime should be the concern of all public-spirited citizens. While parents are basically responsible for a child's instruction or morals, including the rights of others and respect for private property, where they fail, our schools can assist in providing a second ch ance.

For example, a joint anti-auto theft campaign gy iota' police and school authorities might be considered. Posters, pamphlets, films, panel discussions, personal appearances by law enforcement officials and other suitable means of stressing the damage of auto thefts to pertinent age groups in school could give added emphasis to

Wednesday, October 9, 1963 this grievous matter. Any doubts in the minds of students as to -the seriousness of "joy riding" in a "borrowed" piece of personal property valued at an average of $866 should be firmly erased. This is aside from the ever-present fact that such folly often leads to other criminal acts and the launching of a criminal career. Both law enforcement and educators have a fundamental interest in the welfare of our Nation's youth, and it would seem that by pooling their knowledge real progress could be made in preventing and deterring youth crime.

As we move along into the new school 'year, we must not only be certain the road of knowledge has adequate accommodations for all stu dents, but we must also be sure it does not suffer a costly loss in good citizens because of the failure of signposts to warn of the disastrous effects of criminal behavior.

J. Edgar Hoover Director ) 0( OVER 3 MILLION HAVE MORE THAN ONE JOB Three million or more persons have held down more than one job annually since the mid-Fifties, averaging about one out of every 2.0 of all thase employed, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The figure in the latest survey as of a year ago was 3.3 millions, highest since 1957. The recent peak was over 3.6 millions in 1956.

The study found that persons most likely to have more than one job were those whose main source of livelihood was in farming, teaching, the postal service, and the protectice service occupations (guards, firemen and policemen). The predominant part of the multiple jobholders worked full time on their principal job and part-time on the extra one.

In nearly a third of the cases the supplementary job was some form of self-employment. Proportionally, three times as many men had an extra job as women. Though, popularly known as "moonlighting," only about a third of the extra jobs were night work. ) 0( THE TEXAS FRATERNAL CONGRESS The time is rapidly approaching for the annual Texas Fraternal Congress, which will be held this year at the Baker Hotel in Dallas, on October 24, 25, and 26th, with registration commencing on Wednesday, October 23rd on the mezzanine floor of the Baker, between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. There will

Just to remind you members of our lodge, our October meeting will be held on the 3rd Sunday of this month, instead of the second Sunday.

Our bake sale last Saturday was a great success. If we had had more kolaches and baked goods on band we would have sold more. Hope next time more ladies will bring food.

One day as I sat in a cafe sipping a cool glass of beer, I read a sign on the wall: "When God made man, he rested; then He made -woman, since then no one has ever rested. When God saw how faulty man was, he tried again and made woman, then God saw what a mistake he made. No wonder he had to chase both Adam and Eve out of Paradise. Today, with all the modern conveniences, man is not satisfied with this paradise of push-button modern inventions, but wants to move to the moon.

Mary Hale, Reporter ) 0( KOMENSKY CLUB, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Dear Readers and Friends, After three year's work, my Czech professor, Dr. Vladimir Kucera, has completed the first of three parts of his Czech Grammar Book. Having been given a complimentary first copy, I would like to relate to you readers the Introduction and Foreword of Dr. Kucera's book: INTRODUCTION Between the second and fifth century after the birth of Christ, the great migration of the Slav race was under way, with the moving from their original territory between the Carpathian Mountains and the Baltic Sea . from east to west.

And there was one particularly small tribe of Czechs moving too, gradually toward the west in search of a new home. Eventually, this tribe came upon a beautiful and empty table-land in the very heart of Europe. There was ireason for great happiness in the prospect of settling in this fertile land and much rejoicing at finding this

TNf

valley of paradise entirely free of in-. habitants.

This valley of the Czechs was a perfect geographical location. The mountains that circled the land made a natural boundary of protection against the wandering and fighting German tribes.

This Czech tribe lived and prospered for centuries in their valley. Although there was a relatively high standard of living and the evidence of a developed society of agriculture and trade, there remained the dangerously grave problem that the people were pagan and illiterate.

Fortunately, Rostislav, the Prince of the Great Moravian Empire, made , the historical decision that saved the future of his people when he invited to the Empire, two monks, Cyril and Methodius, in the year 863. These two brother monks came from the Byzantine Empire, the eastern portion of the Roman Empire, to teach the Czech people the word of God. Both of the brothers were highly educated men, and from this intellect, they realized the need to reaeh' the hearts of these people and to speak to them in a language they would understand. Furthermore, Cyril prepared for his missionary work, composing an alphabet, which was not only the first alphabet of the CZech people, but the first alphabet for all the Slavic nations.

Due to the great religious and educational work of the two Slav Apostles, this tribe of Czechs embraced Christianity, winning the respect of their neighboring countries and so fortunately, they were the first of the Slavic race to be admitted into the evergrowing family of nations, the Western Christian Civilization.

These first letters (alphabet); sometimes referred to as 'symbols' that Cyril had created for the people of the Great Moravian Empire were known as the "Church Slavonic" or "Glagolica". Today, with some minor changes, these same letters are in use in various services of the Orthodox Church.

As time progressed and the influence of the Western Civilization became more pronounced, the need to be expressed and the need for a written testimony of their history arose for the Czechs. Gradually, the old Slavic language changed and progressively developed into the Czech language using the language from the Latin alphabet.

Hence, from this evolution that took place during centuries of time, we have

no

Wednesday, October 9, our present-day Czech language, the most perfect of all the Slavic languages. AccordingLy the person who speaks Czech finds it more simple to understand, speak, and write the other Slavic languages, such as Polish, Russian, etc. For example, listed below are the opening words to the Lord's Prayer in varying Slavic tongues: Czech: Otce nas, Polish: Ojcze nasz, Russian: Otec nas, Serbian: Oce nas, Old Slavonic: Otce nas.

The Czech language is easy to spell and to pronounce; very much easier than English. The reason lies in the fact that Czech is among the most phonetic of all languages. You pronounce exactly what you write.

Czech, is reputedly a difficult language with its verbal aspects and its case system. Actually, there is no puzzle to the language. There is no article; there are three genders, and seven cases for the noun and the complete agreement of adjectives and pronouns in number, gender, and case, with the nouns that they modify.

These grammatical rules seemingly make the language seem difficult, but, actually, they serve to simplify and make it a very practical language, because each vowel represents one single and distinct sound and it is always pronounced as such. From this simplicity one learns that in correctly pronouncing sounds he is also learning to pronounce words. There is no functional variation in Czech as in English; nouns are never used as adjectives and verbs never become nouns.

Czech is a very rich and beautiful language. Today, there are approximately nine million people that speak the language in Cechy (Bohemia) and in Morava (Moravia), along with the people from various parts of Europe and in settlements of Czechs in the United States.

FOREWORD "Let Us Learn Czech!"

Why should we learn Czech? We should learn Czech because it is the language of a nation with many centuries of history: some of it glorious, and some of it tragic. It is the language of a nation with a wide and rich culture and tradition; the language of a nation with such a colorful native folklore. A nation that has contributed to the world a love of music as well as are art, sciences and industry.

These are reasons we are studying Czech. We wish and desire to revive

Wednesday, October 9, 1963 the .CZOch mother-tongue for those hundreds of thousands of Czech men and women who left their native land many years ago, searching for the freedom of humanity and for the bread to sustain them in the country of the "New World." It is the foremost of all duties for the descendants of the Czech poineers of America to foster and perpetuate an abiding love of the mother-tongue for their descendants; and to be proud of their Czech blood and origin; to remember with pride their history and traditions.

These are the reasons we organize courses in the Czech language in the Universities and centers of Czech settlements. Those reasons explain why we unite and arrange the Czech Festivals and various other native celebrations. To manifest and mobilize the national Czech feeling of love and remembrance of prideful heritage, and through these actions we are not remembering our heritage, but preserving it along with preserving our mother tongue and customs for future generations.

To all of you, dear' countrymen, please be proud and living apostles of this great and vitally important task.

WENCESLAUS, SEPTEMBER 28 (For a historical account of the circumstances surrounding the death of St. Wenceslaus, get your parents to read and explain the brief story. as printed in the Vestnik, dated 25 September. — Ed.) Ruler, warrior, saint, martyr, benefactor, intercessor, national patron and national hero — all these things St. Wenceslaus has been and is to the Czech, nation, and in some or all of these roles every Czech artist who chose the subject has attempted to portray him.

Little wonder, then, that the number of painters, sculptors, etchers and woodcarvers who have attempted to

ST. 'WENCESLAUS express in their works his significance, is legion. Little wonder, too, that every portrait, every statue presents him in a somewhat different light, so that in the development of his characterizaf ion we can almost trace the history of Czech painting and sculpture from the tenth century.

Perhaps the most amazing part of this cult of St. Wenceslaus is the fidelity with which Czech artists of a high order have served his memory since that century, when an anonymous painter depicted him in his illustrations for a copy of one of the innumerable legends clustered about the saint.

Other countries have their patron saints, yet what other nation, even among so called Catholic countries, can boast a record of a thousand years' devotion to the memory of one saint, which has been again and again a foundation of inspiration for living works of art?

Would anyone today suggest to a member of the British Royal Academy that he devote his talents to a portrait of St. George? Would any member of the French institute consider St. Joan of Arc an alluring subject for his bursh or his chisel? Has any German painter of national importance painted St. Boniface in recent years or any prominent Irish sculpture produced a statue of St. Patrick?

Yet, even during the lost fifty years Czech artists of the rank have

22 vied with one another in giving expression to the significance of SL-Wert7ceslaus for the Czech nation expressions which have become national monuments.

Perhaps still more important, since it gives an indication of what the future will bring, is the fact that promising young Czech artists betray an unflagging interest in St. Wenceslaus as the subject. of their paintings and statues, and even the coiner has recently chosen to cast his portrait, again and again, in eternal gold and silver.

When we return to the past and survey the last hundred, years, the num ber of first rate artists devoting themselves to honoring the memory of Bohemia's patron has grown so large that only the most important can be briefly touched upon.

Josef Manes, Vojtech Hynais, slay Snirch, Josef Myslbek, Frantisek Zenisek, Cenek Vosmik, Milculas Ales —these are all names of the first Ma° portance in Czech painting and sculp7ture, yet "the good king Wenceslaus is the central figure in, many of their masterpieces.

It is noteworthy that their stature as artists is almost in direct relation to their position as propagators of the cult of St. Wenceslaus. No less remarkable is the proof that the life and character of the saint had a deep personal meaning for each of these artists -- a proof we find in an unusual freedom of treatment- for a subject so ancient, so that nothing could be, in a. way, less similar than the portrait by Manes, the drawings of Ales and the statues by Myslbek.

Of these the first in historical importance is Manes, father of the renaissance in Czech painting, which occurred about the time of the re-awakening of national consciousness in 1848.

Perhaps it was no mere coincidence that in this very year he painted St. Wenceslaus on the banner of the National Guard of Hradec Kralove.

----) 0 THE MORAVIAN EMPIRE Development of the Slays

The ninth century Great Moravian Empire -- a point in 'history until recently barely explored has become a center of interest in connection with. the 1100 anniversary on July 5th of the arrival of the missionaries Cyril and Methodius on the territory of what is now Czechoslovakia.

Although historians have long been impressed by the extent and power of

VfISTNig

We dn eaday, October

this empire, and admired, its cultural level,_ extensive archaeological work was undertaken during the past 15 years, their view was necessarily superficial. Information about the rulers of the local Mojmir elan and their rule had come chiefly from Frankish, Moravian-Hungarian and other legends, and from Homan and Byzantine el-lroniles.

The archaeological discoveries have answered long unsettled questions.

Where did the predecessors of the present Czechs and Slovaks arrive, for example? Finds made in various parts of the country make clear that the Slav inhabitants came no later than the fifth century, disproving the longheld German theory that the Czechs and Slovaks had been brought to their present territory in the bondage of wild Avar tribes.

Actually lihey had setted their land a century before the nomad Avars arrived'in Central Europe, and had conducted, an organized struggle against them froM the beginningnf the Seventh century. A tribal Innen, with --Sanio at itshead, not only defeated 'the hnt sUccessfully- Withstood the 'but Franks. Archaeologists have traced the more than 1500 years of uninterrupted development of the west Sla ys, and Shown it to follOw 'roughly the same Pattern as that of other European nations.

Christianity's Spread The unification of the tribes 'under Samo was not simply the answer to the requirements of defense against the Avars. EQ6noanc and cultural changes in the seventh century provided impetus as well. The class character of society in the Great Moravian Empire has been confirmed by archaeological findings. Members of the upper social classes mcapied fortified spots and buried their dead in elaborate graves with a' quantity of gold and silver jewelry unusual for that time, but characteristic of the specialized and highly developed craftmanship of these tribes. The time was ripe for the emergence of a strong state.

To the southwest, the Frankish Empire presented a permanent threat.

The usual border conflicts took place, followed by numerous attempts at conquest. These crusades were made in the . name of the universality of Christia ndom.

T,he rulers of the Great Moravian Empire began to propagate Christianity on their own territory, partly to counteract this argument for Frankish ex-

pansion at their expense_There also other reasons, however, Christianity strengthened the hold of the privileged classes, for it was maintained that they ruled "by God's will." The heathen Sla ys had worshipped the forces of nature, and the pessimism of Christianity was foreign to them. But When the widening of the social gap had led to serfdom, the Christian teachings about the holiness of poverty and the rewards beyond the grave for. on this earth became attractive to the masses of the people.

The Great Moravian rulers were aware however, that the exponents of the Christian Church were at the same time political figures who were working consciously or unconsciously in the interests of foreign powers.

That is why Prince Rastislav turned to the Emperor of . Byzantium, Michael III, for missionaries who would preach Christianity in a language understandable to the people. These were the learned brothers, Cyril and Methodius, who were sent to Moravia where they translated the most important parts of the liturgy- into Old Slavonic..

Archaeological. Findings: At present, Czech and Slovak arehaeologists are working on 24 sites connected with these beginnings of Czech, oslovakia. They have uncovered the foundations of 16 churches, most- of them` decorated with frescoes. Many of them had served , religious purposes even before the arrival of Cyril and Methodius. Most settlements also had their forges, for the Moravians were skilled in metal Working. Remains of potters' workshops and typical Slav and imported pottery have been unearthed everywhere.

A non-agricultural settlement discovered near the present town of Stare Mesta covered an area of 625 acres and was surrounded by fortifications. Inside the walls, remains of two stone cnurches wore found, and in the 2,000 graves many .valuable objects were recovered. Eight other settlements have so far been located in the area.

At Mikulcice nine stone chnrches and rotimdas including a three-nave basilica have been found. The town below the castle occupied an area of 250 acres and could accommodate 2,000 people at a time When Paris had a population of 3,000. Investigations here will last another 15 years.

No research has yet thrown light on the location of the unconquered fort-

Wednesday, October 9, 1963 rem of Prince Rastislav, described in the chronicles, *here Cyril and Methodius were received by the Prince.

The disintegration of the Great Moravian Empire in the tenth century for reasons not yet completely clear did not mark the end of the West Slavonic State; its center shifted to Bohemia.

The fall of the Empire did, however, end the joint state of Czechs and Slovaks. The latter fell under Hungarian domination, and the two Slav nations were not rejoined until 1918, when modern. Czechoslovakia was created.

This year the recent findings well be discussed at a number of conferences to mark the Cyril and Methodius anniversary, to be held in several European cities. UNESCO has declared the year 863 to be one of the landmarks in world history. In Czechoslovakia the major event will be an international conference in Brno, the Moravian capital, which will coincide with the opening of a comprehensive archaeological exhibition. )0(

Youth Section THE FOLLOWING ARE THE BRIEF SPEECHES MADE BY THE KING AND QUEEN CONTESTANTS. AT THE STATE TALENT CONTEST HELD IN SEATON ON 22 SEPTEMBER 1963, ON THE. SUBJECT, "WHY I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THE SPJST." DISTRICT VII (Shirley Hrna and David Koenig) Shirley: In 1897 a group of Czech people united to organize the SPJST which has become the "guiding light" in the lives of many people. This organization, which has grown from a small group of immigrants, banded together to survive in a new country, has become one of the most outstanding fraternal insurance organizations in 'Texas today, with Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood as its goal.

In its infancy the SPJST offered inexpensive insurance. This adequately covered the needs of its members at that time. As times changed so did the SPJST. The leaders forsaw the need for a wider range of coverage, to protect and offer security to its members. Today, after 66 years of experience and over $12 million in assets the SPJST offers some thirty types of insurance.

The most important reason that SPJST has gained this prestige is that

VkSTNtK it has continued to grow. Anything that ceases to grow in stature or knowledge will decay.

I am proud to be a member of the SPJST because I am following in the footsteps of my grandparents and my parents, It gives me great honor to have this privilege of representing my district as their Queen.

As a small child I thought of the SPJST only as insurance — a place to go to pay your premiums, meet a few friends, have a dance, or lodge picnic occasionally.

As I have grown, so has the SPJST. It has come to mean much more to me.

The first thing I became aware of was SPJST's concern for the aged. With the increase in life expectancy of man today there has become a greater need for facilities to care for the aged.

SPJST's rest home in Taylor is an answer to this need. Just to read of this institution gives me great pride to know that I am• a part of something so humane.

The next thing that I became aware of was the Youth organization. I had read a little about it and heard people speak of it, but not until 1962, when our lodge became an active participant, did I know of its bounds.

4, David: The rise in juvenile delinquency in Texas today has become a ,great problem for all. SPJST has come to our aid with the Youth Clubs. Being a teenager myself I am well aware of the need for wholesome recreation and entertainment. Our local meetings, socials, and outings give teenagers and youngsters an opportunity to experience fraternal brotherhood.

The contests and programs between lodges recognizes talent among our members that would otherwise be unknow. The awards received for them are appreciated now, but will provide cherished memories in the years to come. All these are opportunities some of our youth would not have if it were not for youth programs in the SPJST. In the continued growth of SPJST there are plans for Youth Camps, a Czech Library, and museums.

Let me also mention our Vestnik. Its 'numerous benefits include good informative articles in Czech as well as English, an opportunity for the members to correspond through letters published. I feel this publication serves as a tie, binding together people of Czech descent.

The last thing I would mention about our SPJST is my part in keeping

21 alive the Czech heritage for which our ancestors worked and suffered to preserve. I feel the SPJST is one of the few organizations active today working toward this goal. With these facts in mind, let me say I am proud to have a part in keeping the guiding light burning. I am proud to be a member of the SPJST. )0( LODGE 142, HOUSTON Dear Readers, As you know on September 22 the State Talent Contest was held. Betty Cerny and I represented District Five as a group. We enjoyed watching and listening to the talent.

I would like to congratulate Leon Zissa from 17-21 singles; Kathy Vrla, from 14-16 singles, and the group from District Six whose names I failed to get.

I would like to compliment Lodge 47, Seaton, for the delicious dinner and hospitality shown us. You have a 'beautiful new hall, and I hope that one day we may also have a new hall.

Thanks to the judges who had a hard job and performed it to the best of their ability. I would like to thank our editor, Mr. Nick Morris, for taking our pictures. I really appreciated the bracelet, which was given by the Supreme Lodge. I will treasure it for a long time. Also, a big thanks to my parents for giving us support, and to Betty Cerny, who took time to practice the song with me.

I truly enjoyed that day. There was really a variety of talent and all the talent did exceptionally well.

I would like to invite you to our District Five fall meeting, which will be held at the Brewer's Hall in Galveston.

This meeting is sponsored by Lodges 62 and 146 of Galveston. They have a wonderful talent program planned, so it will be well worth the trip.

Lodge Stefanik Youth Club is sponsoring a dance and chicken supper on October 12, 1963. Music for the dance will be ffunished by the Sealy Playboys.

Tickets are $1.00. The public is invited.

We hope you will come out and help us.

Until October 12, I remain, Fraternally yours, Nona Cieslewitz, President, Youth Club ) 0( LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers, On September 29, I attended the District III meeting at Cottonwood, In the morning they had a business meeting;

24 then we, adjourned for lunch, which was fixed and served by the CottonWood women. I would like to thank them, because it was very goad. I enjoyed it very much.

After the lunch the meeting was called to order and before sitting down to business they held the Youth Program, presented by Lodge 6, Cottonwood. The new choral group of Lodge 66 sang two songs: "Annie in the Cabbage Field," "You Tell Me Your Dream, I'll Tell You Mine."

Then we got down to business. At the end of the meeting Brother Marek , showed a film on fraternalism, which' everyone enjoyed, watching. We saw how another fraternal group works.

Then the meeting was adjourned.

Before I close a short reminder to Lodge 66 members, that our next meeting will be held on October 20, at Linden Hall at 2:30 p.m. I hope to see all of you there. Until then, I remain, Your friend, Queen Zephyr Spence )O( LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers, For those who did not attend the District III meeting at Cottonwood, you certainly missed a very nice day of meeting and entertainment. The next District III meeting will be held at Lodge 84 in Dallas. Hope to see many new faces at these meetings.

I would like to wish Brother Editor, Nick A. Morris and his wife good luck with their new addition to the family.

School is well under way now and I find that everyone is right when they say the llth grade is the hardest. I usually have a test every day of the week and about every other day two or three at a time. This is why my letters may seem short, because I have to study for thesa tests.

A reminder to all Lodge 66 members about our next meeting. I have to close now and study for a history test.

Yours truly, Jean Spence ) 0( LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, The State Talent Contest at Seaton is a thing of the past, and many of the youth went home that evening with beautiful trophies and lovely gifts.

Our District III was especially fortunate in winning first place in the singles, and second place in the group talent. I would like to !congratulate Kathy Vrla for her excellent performance.

For myself and the district king, it

V'tSTN'f It was the most thrilling evening, for we won the title of State King and Queen. Alan is the on of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hensel, and my parents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller.

VESTNAK

For The Housewife CHILI FIGHTS HIGH COST OF LIVING With the high cost of good eating, meat-stretching recipes are back in a starring role in most homes these days.

And here's a brand-new recipe designed to make your purse gladder . . and your family, too. For this recipe extends one-half pound of ground beef to a "come-again" main dish for four.

But lest you fret that• by being economical you will sacrifice that full, just-right Chili flavor, relax! This recipe has been perfected to preserve the hearty richness that makes Chili such a welcome dish with your family.

CHILI 1 No. 2 can red, kidney or chili beans 1/2 pound lean, coarsely ground beef 2 tablespoons shortening 1 cup finely cut onion 1 No, 2 can tomatoes 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 bay leaf 1/2cup instant whole wheat cereal, uncooked.

Drain beans; save liquid. Cook beef in shortening until brown. Break up with fork while cooking. Add onion; cook slowly for 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Mix tomatoes, salt, chili powder, bay leaf, cereal and 1/2 cup bean liquid. Bring to boil then cover and cook slowly for 30 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Stir now and then. Add beans. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer or until beans are steaming hot. Remove bay leaf before serving. Makes four servings.

GROUND BEEF, VEGETABLES BAKE IN LOAF Every homemaker can undoubtedly come forth with a favorite, homespun meat loaf that shows off her talent in preparing family meals. Try this beef vegetable loaf. It's a new slant in meat loaves, for baby lima beans, grated car-

rots and chopped celery baked in the ground beef mixture.

Choosing different kinds of crackers will give interesting taste changes. Try bacon or cheese-flavored crackers, for example.

Beef-Vegetable Loaf 2 pounds ground beef • I/2 cup milk 1 cup cracker crumbs 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon onion juice, or 2 tablespoons chopped onions 1 cup cooked baby lima beans 1/2 cup grated carrots 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 2 eggs, slightly beaten Pour milk over cracker crumbs. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, onion juice or onion, lima beans, carrots, celery and eggs. Mix thoroughly. Pack in a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake in a slow oven (300 degrees F.) 1 1/2 hours. Makes 8 servings.

0 (-MENU MAGIC POSSIBLE WITH GROUND BEEF If you're like most homemakers, you are probably looking for those more economical dishes to serve your family.

Ground beef may be your answer, for it can work menu magic even in the smallest of budgets . . . and it's in abundant supply too.

Ground beef can be prepared in a multitude of ways. As example, you will find beef ring an interestiing variation of the old standard, meat loaf. It's quite versatile, too. Any number of vegetables can be served in the center or around the platter.

To make the ring, mold the meat mixture made from your favorite recipe in a 1 1/4-quart ring mold. Bake in a slow oven (350 F.) just as you would a regular meat loaf. (100 F.) • NEW HANDLING PROCESS IMPROVES APPLE QUALITY Bite into a crisp, juicy McIntosh apple! How fresh and good it tastes, although it was harvested last fall.

Apple growers, working with researchers of the Agricultural Marketing Service, are learning more and more about protecting the quality of the fruit -- especially at the time the apples are being picked and packaged for storage.

If apples go to storage free of bruises and blemishes, they hold up better and come out in top quality condition.

Although ways of handling apples from orchard to consumer have been

Wednesday, October 9, 1983 improved, injury caused by rough treatment still remains the major problem in marketing apples.

After testing various ways of packing the fruit for shipment, marketing research workers in USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service say overwrapped trays protect apples better than film bags or jumble-packed cartons. Best protection of all comes from cell-packed cartons.

The tests were made as part of a program of AIMS marketing research to benefit both consumers and producers by reducing losses in quality and quantity of farm products in marketing channels.

Apples are still in good supply. Cold storage holdings are slightly above average at 25 million bushels, reports U.S. Department of Agriculture. )O( Rust stains on porcelain and in clothing or other fabrics are caused by iron in the water supply. Non-abrasive compounds made expressly for the purpose should be used to remove rust stains on porcelain. Use liquid bleach to remove stains in fabrics, following directions for proper solution. One water conditioner manuf acturer, The Lindsay Co., St. Paul, Minne., has come out with a home conditioner that solves the problem before it starts by removing iron from water at the same time it is softened.

• • Dull scissors can be sharpened quickly by cutting sandpaper with them, using two pieces of sandpaper placed back to back with the rough sides showing. Similarly, pinking shears can be sharpened by cutting through a double fold of aluminum foil several times.

•

•

If children are inclined to wash and run, leaving towels on the floor instead of on the rack, you can foil them by sewing snap type fasteners to the ends of the towel. Drape the towel over the rack, snap the fasteners and it's there to stay. Another method: secure the towel with safety pins.

• • When you're sorting clothes for your ielectric washer, remember this: the wash load should contain no more than two large pieces such as sheets or tablecloths, with the balance made up of medium - size and small items.

Large, bulky items, such as chenille spreads and blankets, are best washed alone.

For Your Information: HUNTING AND SAFETY FIRST

Do you know how many hunters there are in Texas? Imagine a city the size of Dallas and each resident a Nimrod, gun in hand, ready for the hunt. This is the picture.

To the hunter, fall has special significance. Dove season opened September 1 in north zones and October 1 in the south zones. Deer and turkey seasons follow, opening November 16.

During these months — September through December — statistics show a rise in accidental fire-arm deaths. In a year's time, a total of 184 persons die from accidents with guns.

Some hunters never live to enjoy the season. In the last three years, 38 died cleaning and handling guns, perhaps in anticipation of opening day.

Twenty-four died transporting firearms into the field.

Theoretically, a gun is not dangerous itself. But in the hands of an inexperienced, unskilled person it becomes a deadly weapon.

Texans across the state recognize this problem and are doing something about it. Some local health units and National Rifleman Association instruc_ tors work at the grass roots, teaching home gun safety to children.

This is an excellent step in the right direction but there is no substitute for individual practice of firearm safety, with, the hunter consciously alert to the hazards of gun handling from the time he dresses for the first hunt until he stores his rifle at the end of the season.

Even his choice of hunting clothes is a factor in safety afield. Clothing ideally combines warmth, comfort and safety features. Red or yellow outer garments and caps help distinguish the hunter from wildlife.

Proper firearm care and cleaning are vitally important. A speck of rust or (dirt in the delicate mechanism may trigger an unexpected discharge, barrel eruption or other mishaps.

Maneuvering barbed-wire fences poses less problem for the hunter if a companion holds the gun. Otherwise, the rifle should be placed carefully on the ground while the hunter climbs through or over the fence.

The bunter who "thinks he sees a turkey" and shoots without determining absolutely, pronounces a possible death sentence for some person.

Ideally, the sportsman returns home with bag-of-game in hand. Fatigued or

27

ATESTNiK not, his responsibilities aren't ended.

Cleaning and storing the firearm away from the hands of children — ammunition in a separate place of course --completes the event.

—Texas Dept. of Health )0 U. S. FARIVI PLANT VALUE SOARS IN 30-YEAR RISE Farm real estate this year marked three decades of virtually uninterrupted advance during which the value of the American farm plant, land and buildings combined, has increased by nearly $115 billions, or close to fivefold.

The rise got underway in 1933, at the bottom of the depression. By that year the market value of all the nation's farms had fallen to under $31 billions, less than half the $66 billion figure it had reached 13 years earlier in the wake of the World War I boom. This year's figure was placed at $144 billions by the U. S. Department of Agricultur in its recent report on developments in the farm real estate market.

There were only four setbacks in the prolonged rise — in 1939-40, 1950 and 1954, anct these were minor. .

Per Farm Basis The advance is even more pronounced when translated into a per farm basis. Reflecting the technological and production revolution in agriculture over the last, generation, the number of farms has declined by half in the last 30 years, from 6.6 millions in 1933 to 31/4 millions this year, based on the latest Burca,u of the Census count. At the same time, farms ihave grown over twice as big on the average. Thus whereas the valuation of the land and buildings of the average farm was little more than $4,660 three decades ago, it is know estimated at more than$44,000, or nearly 10 times as much.

Further evidence of the transformation in the financial position of agriculture is the accumulation by farmers of approximately $70 billions in other assets, primarily inventories, machinery and motor vehicles, and holdings of cash or its equivalent. Likewise, seven out of every ten farmers own life insurance. Mortgage and non-real estate debts have grown also, adding up to nearly $36 billions in the latest estimate, but they represent only a small fraction of icourbined assets which were placed at $214 billions early this year.

A factor in the long rise in farm land values has been the rise in agricultural income from its abnormally

Factors in. Advance Other developments have at the same time assumed major importance as a price-boosting factor in recent years. Outstanding among these has been the growing pressure for farm enlargement to take advantage of new and more efficient production techniques to offset the cost-price squeeze which has affected the form as well as nonfarm world. The tax shelter features of real estate as a vehicle for converting ordinary income into capital gains have become of increasing importance. And more than a million
