VESTN 11K 0 ZDENKU FIBICHOVI (Zemeel 15. tijne 1900) St'asten velkYmi hudebnimi udalostmi byl rok 1873. Na jate pronikl koncertu "Hlaholu" vetejnosti dosuct neznamy Antonin Dvorak a 7. prosince tehnt roku hrala se za Smetanova symfonicka baser mla,diekeho, ale jit zraleho unaelce, teiadvacetileteho Zderika Fibicha.

Jako Smetana byl i malt' Zdenko zezraenym ditetem. V 10. roce sveho veku psal jit romany a ye etrnectem rote' vzbudil pozornost SirSich kruhti eizenim vlastni symfonie v Chrudime.

Osud tekovYch , cleti, ktere peinaSeji si na svet bohate nadani hudebni, byva zpravidla velmi smutnY. Rodiee jejich, zmameni chvelou lehko vznetliveho okoli, aenou dite obyeejne z produkce do produke,e, o dalSi vzdelani jeho se nestarajice. Tak se stave, ae telo jejich site roste a sill, ale umelecko, dovednost zustava stale na thin g stupni a bYvale zazraene dite vyspeje po letech v hudebnika, ktery neina jia, eim by na sebe upozorrioval. Jinak bylo vAak u rodieft Fibichovych. Otec jeho byl zamoanym lesmistrem a matka i sestra byly deny neobyeejneho vzdelani a alechtile jemnosti. VS'ichni pozna.li brzy neobyeejny hudebni talent hochtiv a zahy se starali, aby v'Sestrannym vzdelanim .nabyl k umeleckemu povolani nejdokonalejS1 peipravy. Zden ko studoval ye Vidni a v Praze gymnasium, v Lipsku hudebni konservator, takae jako dvacetilety klavirni virtuos byl jia Upine vyzbrojen v'Semi poteebnYlni vedomostml.

Do Prahy se vratil v dobe, kdy proti Smetanovi pro jeho pokrokove my'Slen ky veden byl bezohledny boj, ktery smeeoval i k jeho odstraneni z divadelniho kapelnictvi. Mlady Fibich regem stal se nejoddanerSim stoupencem mistrovYm, ktery hudbou svou uplatnovel zasadu, to napev vyrilstati ma ze spravne cleklamace eeskeho slova.

Fibichovy opery vynikaji v to peieine vzornym podanim zpivaneho textu.

Jsou to: "Bukovin", "Blanik", "Nevesta messinska", "Boute", "Hedy", "Mrka" a "Pad Ar'kuna". Na oslavu ukoneeni sveho vetSiho dila napsal Fibich obyeejne symfonil ;tak vznikly tei skiadby tohoto druhu, v niche hudebni eeei jase, rozboueene nitro skladatelovo nad Str a:stnYm dosa,aenim vytknuteho tile.

Jako pokrokovy sklaclatel nemohl vSak stanouti uprosteed na draze vYvoje, novotaesky ditch jeho pudil ho stale kupredu. Uvatoval. Sklaclatele peed Smetanou spattovali lilavni teaiSte opery ve zpevu, na clej skoro npine zapominajice. Teprve Smetana byl v Oechach prvnim, ktery upozornil daklive na to, ze obe umeni, hudebni i basnicke, jsou v tomto sdruaeni rovnocennymi slotkami: jedno nad druhe neme vynik'ati, ani jedno cleuhemu v umeleckYch cilech peeketeti.

Ma-li tedy zustati basnicke slovo ve zpevu dokonale slySitelnYm, must bYti spraNne deklamovano, jinak lehce za, nika v orchestralnim pletivu a huclba jest jeho srozumitelnosti vlastne na peekatku.

Je-li ton u tak, Prod' nemohlo by se tedy podati deklamaci peirozenou, bez napevu, tak jak zni peeduaSeno v dramaticke basni? Hudbe ztistal by potorn nemaly nkol, t. j. zesilovati dojem deklamovaneho textu a tak spige vyvolavati primetenou naiad» posluchaeovu. Net od mySlenky 'ke shutku bylo jeSte daleko.

Mirno to uwiteni hodna jest i okolnost, slovo mluvene mtae bYti zvuky orchestru spige tlurneno net zpev, a tim stone se opet nesrozumitelnym.

Dilthey a Rickert mohou mluvit proti naturalismu sociologic souhlasim, ale proti vedeckosti sociologic neni opra y nene namitky, i kdyt uznavame, te sociologic neni tak presnou jako fysika nebo dokonce matematika, Ale podle toho meritka by viThec veclle matematiky nebylo vedy, Jina Vida namitek proti motnosti sociologic yyplYva z urnelYch klasifikaci ved.

—HERALD—

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SP.CST, P.O. Box 100, TEM PLE, TEX

FROM The next quadrennial convention of the SPJST will take place in June, 1964, in Waco. Inasmuch as some lodges hold quarterly, semi-annual, or even annual meetings, the time will soon be here for these lodges to elect, select, or appoint delegates to the 1964 convention. What we say in this column today will hold true for those lodges electing their delegates in the early part of 1964, but we feel now is a good time to 'lay open a few thoughts about the matter for those lodges who will soon be holding their last meeting of the year and dealing with the matter of delegates.

The thoughts I present here today are the result of several weeks of talks and exchanges of ideas from members from all around the state. These points were repeated most often by the most people. Many stated they do not have the fortitude to get up and state these opinions, but that the columns of the Vestnik are a good and proper place to set forth some of these ideas. Such people are well-intentioned.

• • Here then, are the things we believe lodges should consider in selecting delegates to the 1964 (and other) convention: A delegate should haVe displayed a deep and abiding interest in his lodge's activity and in the Order as a whole. !The member Who never attends a meeting but is present for the one at which delegates are selected, is interested primarily in himself. In short, a delegate should be an ACTIVE participant in his local lodge, and a willing worker; not one who is always full of excuses when the president or 'other officer asks for help. ♦ • A delegate should be a progressive member with progressive ideas — NOT radical ideas. There's a big difference.

Just because something is suggested that has never been tried or done before does not put that idea in the

A delegate who objects to a procedure or item should have something to propose in its stead. ♦ • Being elected a delegate is never considered as a reward for some activity or favor. The person selected should be chosen strictly on his ability to best represent the interests of the lodge. It shouldn't be a vacation. The work is hard and demanding.

• • A delegate should not be a "yes" man. Such a person contributes nothing. He should stand up for what he PROGRESS OF SALES CONTEST October 11, 1963 DISTRICT NO. 3 Insurance Members $89,500.00 13 Points 10211/3 DISTRICT NO. Insurance Mernbel's $14,500.00 5 ]Points 191/2 Fraternal!

yours, y

believes to be right and correct until he is proven to be in error,• and then gracefully yield, and then join the common effort. Don't walk away with a grudge because your proposal „or ideas were not favorably received by the majority. The SPJST is a sprawling organization, and what might seem as crucially important to some members in a certain lodge, may be foresaken or not acted upon by the rest of the delegates. Here, the interest of the WHOLE Order must take precedence over local wishes. So, taking a firm stand, holding to it, but yielding when proven in error, or when shown a better position, is a prime requisite for a good delegate. Don't hold unreasonably on to something because of pride; that is false pride. You'll be better respected if you admit that you MAY have been wrong.

• Ideas and proposals set forth by a delegate should be CONstructive — not DEstructivc. Don't go to the convention with a. chip on your shoulder. If your ideas are genuinely constructive and show merit, they will be considered by the convention.

Don't go to the convention with the intention of "getting even" with somebody you think gave you a raw deal five, ten, twenty years ago. Personal grudges have no place on the floor of the convention. If you must, battle them out elsewhere at some other time.

This was an interesting suggestion: in lodges where there is a preponderance of family relations, there seems to be a feeling that relatives keep sending relatives to the conventions as delegates. This is a tough one. Relatives have a way of sort of pulling together. About all that can be done in such instances is to appeal to the fraternal spirit of the lodge membership and remind them that the sending of delegates to our conventions is not a

Wednesday, October 16, 1963 family affair, and no single group should have exclusive license to elect delegates. Be fair; be honest; be reasonable. • This may not seem too important, but in a practical sense, it is very much so. A delegate should be alert and follow closely the agenda, and keep abreast of what is going on. Work is slowed down too much by people asking for something to be repeated again and again.

The fact that a member has been a delegate to the last several conventions does not necessarily make him the best qualified person to be a delegate to the next one. Sometimes, new !blood, and new people with new ideas and a new and different perspective have much to contribute. Then too, we must consider that, as in all our other activities, you must have a constant reserve of talent and experience coming up in the back ranks at all times. So the member who is a delegate for the first time demonstrates his "greenness" from time to time. So what? All of us were "green" at this or that at one time or another. Don't be afraid to send a new man to the convention.

Can your delegate make an objective decision on his own? Can he be easily swayed? Can he (or she) listen to several propositions on a matter, and then cast an honest vote for the one HE thinks is the best? On all major decisions, will your delegates's guide be: Is this the best for the whole SPJST? If your delegate can pass these qualifying criteria, then you've got 'yourself a good delegate. Consider these various points, and be honest with YOUR,SELF when it comes time to elect delegates at your lodge meeting. Don't take the matter too lightly. Read this column over a couple of times, and perhaps somebody might see fit to read it aloud at the lodge meeting during which delegates will be elected. Then, if you pick the best delegate(s), and your conscience tells you so, you've got the right person. Remember the late Sam Rayburn's admonition to his colleagues in the US House of Representatives: be reasonable; be fair; be honest.

Finally, if other points are brought to our attention, we will pass them on to you. We sincerely hope they will be

VESTNiK of some benefit. They may even be ignored by some people, like the man in the saying: don't confuse me with the facts; I've already made up my mind. ) 0, (.

TRAFFIC DEATH CLAIMS UP IN FIRST HALF OF 1963

Families of Americans killed on the streets and highways received a record $86 million in life insurance payments during the first half of 1963----a sharp increase of $10 million or 13 per cent over the same period last year The Institute of Life Insurance estimates that, if the upward trend of `motor vehicle tra gedies continues, payments for the full year will total about $185 million. The traffic toll normally runs heavier in the latter half of the year.

Life insurance companies paid death, claims on 23,C00 policies as a result of traffic accidents during the first half of 1963, or about 1,000 more claims taan during the same period last year.

The number of policyholders killed was somewhat lower than the number of claims, because many policyholders have several life insurance policies.

Tie National Safety Council reports that traffic accidents killed 18,990 persons in the first half of 1963. ) 0 (-

LETTERS SAN ANTONIO LODGE 133

Our regular meeting will be Sunday October 20 at the American Legion ,Hall, Post 399, 628 Dwight Ave., South San Antonio.

We will have a short business meet starting at 2 p.m. Our September meeting was enjoyed by all present.

Refreshments were served and games were played till 4:30 p.m. The attendance prize was won by Sister Sophie Maly. Be sure to come.

Fraternally, Viola Mazac, Treasurer lo ( LODGE 166, BEAUMONT Dear Members and Friends: The State Talent Contest held in Seaton was a very enjoyable affair for everyone present. I don't know when I have enjoyed myself more. The new lodge at Seaton is certainly something to be proud of.

I think everyone in the audience was glad they weren't one of the seven District Youth Directors who had to judge the talent entries. I think that was possibly one of the hardest contests to judge because all of the contestants were really good. I want .to congratulate each performer for a job very well done. Congratulations especially go to Leon Zissa, First Place Senior Division; Kathy Vrla, First Place Junior Division; Leon Zissa and Ronny Matejka for the Senior Group; and Bennie Krpec and July Dluhos for the Junior Group First Place. All of you were just darling.

After the Talent Contest was over and we had eaten, the King and Queen Contest began. The speeches made by the boy-girl groups were very impressive and kept the audience listening to every word. The boys and girls did a. wonderful job of telling us the benefits of belonging to SPJST. Lodge 66, Waco, can really be proud of Alan Hensel and Frances Miller,

Wednesday, October 16, 1963 the King and Queen, for a wonderful presentation of their reasons for being proud of their SPJST memberShip.

Congratulations to both of you!

The Royal Court was presented with lovely gifts, and I want to thank the Supreme Lodge for the very lovely bracelet they gave me. After gifts and pictures the Royal Court started the ball with a dance and everyone soon followed and began having a grand time dancing. I hated to leave but then it was a long way home.

The Youth Directors did a very nice; job of judging, and I know their decisions were hard to make because everyone was so good, so we are very proud of them.

Again, congratulations, contestants and winners: thank you, Beaton, for a very, very, lovely day.

Yours in SPJ.ST, Sandra Watson _ (

BOBBY DOBESH Dear Friends, Our Lodge and our Youth Club is losing a great worker for the next few months, for Uncle Sam is calling the President of the Youth Club, Bobby Dobesh. There is so much I could say about Bobby, for he has worked so hard with our Youth Club for several years. This is his third year as president, and a mi ghty fine president he has been. He has also won many youngsters to our club, has attended all our socials and meetings, and has been in most of our contests. In 1961 Bobby won first place in the State in the Merit Point Contest. We of Lodge

VESTNIK 88 are mighty proud of Bobby's many achievements.

On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29th, Bobby's many friends surprised him with a farewell party at the Lodge Hall. A beautifully decorated cake with a soldier and the words "Best Wishes, Bobby" and a beautiful flower arrangement of red and white carnations in •a vase shaped like a helmet centered the dining table. The Youth Club had the cake made for Bobby, and the flower arrangement was from his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Dobesh, both of whom have been active in our Youth Club -- adding much to our programs. One of the happy participants at this party was Bobby's and Gene's father, Mr. Louis Dobesh of New Zulch, Texas. Bobby was even more surprised when he was presented a nice money gift from his friends.

The success of the farewell party was brought about through the hard work of Georgia Zaludek and Margaret Vala, who kept the phones ringing; by Georgia Zaludek and Bonnie Sue Cox for decorating the dining room in red, white and blue; by Mrs. Annie Vala, who made the good coffee, and to all of you who came and brought such good food for the lunch. Thank you for helping us surprise Bobby; I am sure he will never forget this happy occasion.

Farewell, Bobby, for a while: we will be thinking of you and waiting for the day when you will be back among us again!

Sincerely, Tillie Helmcamp, Youth Director )O( LODGE 146, CALVESTON (.Left over from last week) Dear Members and Friends: I had calls asking me how much water damage I had during the recent storm. I must say that I didn't have any water on the yard or in the street.

I lost about five shingles off the roof.

I did not have a single call from the RVOS members regarding any damage.

The Supreme Lodge, RVOS, did not get one claim from Lodge 146, SPJST, in Galveston. We must thank God that it was no worse. It could have done a lot, of damage if it had come directly here.

During October we are having a contest between District V and District III. If any member knows of anyone Who wants to join the SPJST, please let us know. Let's go all the way and

see which district has the best salesmen (or salesladies). Ha ha. May the 'best one win!

We wish to thank all the brothers, sisters, and friends for all the getwell cards and flowers my wife received while in the hospital and at home. May God bless you all!

Fraternally, Frank H. Reran, Jr. )0( Terrell, Texas Dear Vestnik Readers: It is dry here in Kaufman. A rain sure would be fine. We had a short cotton crop here and a short grain crop, too.

I am a World War II Veteran and I have a brain tumor. I love to read and to write. I have two children and they are both going to Kaufman Elementary School. They both ride the school bus to and from school. The boy is 9 years old and the girl is 11 years old.

They both like school, and they make good grades. I like to listen to the radio and I make pot holders for a past time.

My wife works in Terrell, at the Bauthland Athletic Manufacturing Co. She has been working there for some time. My wife is from Temple.

I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the young students of Seaton, in the Vestnik. Keep up the good work! I also like to read the letters from different parts of the country. I will write more next time, and you all write me, my wife, or children.

Steve Stastny, Jr. Route 6 P.S.. My father was secretary of the SPJ;ST lodge here at one time. We are also members of the SPJST—all four of us. )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 Sunday in the month, was postponed to October 20.

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

Earlier that year, dur192.81 ing the "Reign of Terror," Genet had 55.05 been deprived of his post by the French 55.45 revolutionary government because, in 51.18 his efforts to further the cause of 227.33 France, then at war with England, he 28.65 had come into conflict with the Amer2,818.63 ican government. However, when 6.26 President Washington learned of the 962.89 order for Genet's arrest, he refused to 141.29 allow him to be extradited, for to have 179.87 permitted this would have meant Genet's death on the guillotine. Genet 5,297.07 became a citizen of the United States 31.78 and married the daughter of Governor 288.86 Clinton of New York.

LETTERS ROBSTOWN, LODGE 117 Dear Brothers, Sisters, and Friends: We want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who so diligently worked with us on Sunday, Sept. 15th at the SPJST Picnic and District Meeting.

We will not mention any names for fear we might leave someone out, but we do want to thank each and everyone who helped in anyway at all.

Everthing turned out superbly and our picnic was a success. We received many, many compliments on the food.

No one went hungry and it tasted delicious, even if we say so ourselves. The program and entertainment were excellent.

Thanks again everyone for everything!

Fraternally, The "Kitchen Commottee" Vlast a Mrazek, Helen (Mrs.Geo.) Pavelka, Mary Janak )0( LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Vestnik Readers, I would like to write a brief note in behalf of my husband, Brother Vernon Wood, who doesn't seem to find time to write. It is to say that we enjoyed the District III Meeting very much. I don't know when I've seen an audience as attentive as the one we had there.

Everyone sat quitely and listened to what each speaker had to say. The youth all displayed their talents very well. I'm sure that the parents of those youngsters were quite proud. my husband and I especially enjoyed the Youth G's rendition of "Frankie and Johnnie."

We found the Choral Group singing quite enjoyable. I must say that Brother Nick Morris is quite a talented fellow; he directed the Choral Group very well.

I trust that by now, Editor Morris is having the pleasure of walking the floor with the "wee one" that was due at his home this week.

I want to thank Lodge 6 for their hospitality and the wonderful food that they so generously heaped on our plates. I believe that is why everyone just sat quitely and listened, because they were just too full to be noisy.

All in all, I'm sure we can say that everyone had a nice time, but since all good things must come to an end,

Dear Vestnik Readers: Lodge Vysehrad No. 48 will celebrate its 60th anniversary on October 28th, at the lodge hall about seven miles southeast of Taylor.

We know that we are not the largest lodge in the Order, or do not have the Most modern hall. However, we have recently remodeled our hall and we ore proud of it.

However, we are proud of one fact: we have officers who work as hard as any in the Order and the members back them all the way.

Wednesday, October 16, 1963 other Sokol groups in other cities will also start informing us of their activities. We have a great number of Slavic descendants in Texas who are potential members and would be willing to participate in our activities if they only knew of our existence, goals and history. The Sokols are as representative of the Czech history as the American Revolution is with the United States. Our only way to expand is to educate the public about our existence and goals.

On October 27th, we will hold a "Sokol Circus" and all our members are in the process of preparing their costumes and drills for the program.

As always, the program will be free and will include a "March of the Clowns," followed by apparatus drills on the horizontal and parallel bars, rings, and side horse. I have not developed the complete details of the program, but I will have them by the next issue of the Vestnik.

I hope all the members of our Youth Club will be at the next meeting so we can make something for our craft work.

Yours truly, Mary Jane March 1 0, ( LODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Readers, On October 6, 1963, we held our meeting, beginning at 2 p.m. the president called the meeting to order. The financial report was read. But the secTetary and reporter were absent, due to other activities, such as the State Fair, football games, etc. Joyce Mikeska won the door prize.

Joyce Mikeska celebrates her birthday in the month of October. Happy birthday, Joyce!

The adult meeting was held. After the adult meeting refreshments were served.

Our Halloween party will be held on the 30th, so that on the 31st everyone can go "Trick or Treating." Our party will begin at 7:30. Everyone dress in a costume and mask. There will be a spook house and everything else.

Watch what you eat or sit on because

Lodge Jaro 130, Dallas, Coronation: Flower girl Anne Oates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Oates, and Crown Bearer Scott Parma, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Parma. there will be tricks all over the place.

Parents will not be allowed in the hall if they aren't dressed spooky. One out of the family is to bring a guest.

Mothers are requested to bring homemade .cookies, or boiled chicken so that we can make chicken sandwiches at the hall. The Lodge will furnish bread, ice cream, and m-m-m root beer.

On October 9th we had no school because the sisters went to Austin to a teachers' meeting. Last week was test week, but the seventh grade didn't have tests because Sister averages our grades every day..

That is all the news I have. See you soon. May God bless you.

If a single table lamp is used, it should be fitted with a 50-200-250 watt bulb and the "top step" used. With two table lamps, bulbs of not less than 150 watts in each are recommended. With two pin-up lamps, use a 100 watt bulb in each.

When properly placed, light is close to the task, but not so close as to cause a direct or indirect glare. The light should come from the side opposite the working hand to avoid casting a shadow on the work.

You'll find qualified assistance in selecting good study lamps at electric appliance dealers and in the lighting sections of department stores.

Seventy A unique figure among contemporary Czechoslovak composers celebrated his 70th birthday on June 21st. He is Alois Raba, creator of a quarter-tone system which he has been enriching musical expression for more than 40 years.

He began to work out his new conception of tonality in 1916, and in the 'twenties and thirties produced many piano works, several string quartets and . his opera "Mother," in the quarter-tone system. He also composed a isix-tone opera, "Thy Kingdom Come," and returned to the conventional half'tone system in an orchestral composition, "The Path of Life;" and the opera "New Land."

Yard oT"' ANUS Helping. Your House Plants Thrive Nothing brings a home so alive as luxuriant, well-nourished plants. If you have ever longed for a "green thumb" with house plants — or if you would like to make the thumb you now have even greener — follow these tips from plant physiologists as to proper temperature, adequate ventilation, im proved light, best soil mixtures and correct wa tering.

Temperature Proper regulation of the temperature is essential for developing the quality 'of your house plants. The optimum night temperatures should be between 60 and 65 degrees F., and in daylight or electric light the temperatures should be in the range of70 to 75 degrees F. Temperature influences the various metabolic proc,esses, of plant growth — the rate of absorption by the roots, transpiration (giving off of water vapor through the leaves), respiration, the rate of assimilation of carbon dioxide, and the production of chlorophyll.

Night temperatures are far more important than most people realize.

Plants manufacture their food during the fight hours, but they assimilate or digest it during the dark period, and this process is aided by cool temperatures.

To maintain optimum temperatures, use accurate thermometers.

Ventilation Ventilation provides circulation of air, which is important in preventing the development of disease organisms.

All plants continuously lose water vapors through small pores or stomates found On the underside of the leaf.

'This process is known as transpiration, Poor ventilation causesthis water vapor to condense in a film on the leaf surface, and offers ideal germination conditions for the spores of disease producing organisms.

Ventilation allows for the entrance of carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis, as well as to provide a good supply of oxygen for respiration.

Light Light supplies the energy on which all plant life is based. Research and experimentation by botanists, growers plant physiologists show that and plants waste a large part of the light they get from the sun.

Plants look green because they merely reflect most of the sun's green and

Wednesday, October 16, 1963 yellow light energy. What plants actually absorb and use is the sun's red. and blue light energy. This red and blue light is what plant chlorophyll 'requires to turn water and carbon dioxide into the sugars and starches for plant growth.

As a result of these findings, a new damp has been developed which produces much more red and blue light energy than the ordinary flourescent tubes used for plant lights. Called GraLux, this lamp radiates the ratio of red and blue radiation in the combination which has been demonstrated as most effective for healthy plant growth.

Aside from the fact that these new lamps help produce healthier, betterlooking plants, their subtle lavender light also enhances plant appearance, imparting new richness to flower colors and foliage.

Soil Mixture The best soil mixture for most house plants is three parts of loam (a combination of clay, silt and fine sand), one part of leaf mold or peat moss, and one part of coarse sand.

Your soil mixture will need sterilizing to kill harmful diseases, insects and weed seeds. The easiest way is to bake the soil in an oven for 30 minutes at 212 degrees F. When sterilizing the soil, keep it thoroughly wet all the way through with some water tanding on top. The conversion of this water into steam is what does so effective a job of sterilizing.

Watering House plants have a greater need for water when the temperature is rising, so water them in the morning.

Put in enough water to soak all the soil in the pot.

Experts recommend that you use clay pots, which are porous, relatively light and nest well. The porosity of the pot promotes aeration of the soil which is essential for healthy root systems.

Watering a little bit and often is not a good practice. A general rule to follow is to water plants approximately three times a week — or sooner if the plants show signs of wilting.

At least once a week the pot should be put in the kitchen sink and left there to soak 5 to 15 minutes. The level of the water in the sink should. be about one half inch below the soil level in thepot. Be sure to drain the pot before you return it to its place.

Try this hot meal for school lunch carriers: Drop a raw hot dog into a pint vacuum bottle, fill with boiling water. Provide a fork for fishing out the not dog and a bun with the child's ,favorite relish. When lunchtime arrives the hot dog will be cooked. It's a welcome treat, especially on cold days.

To make sure you never again lock yourself out of the ihouse, place a house key in a small glass jar and bury it in loose dirt near the door. No one outside the family need ever know it's there.

With Winter coming, your water heater will work harder because the water coming into it will be colder.

This means accelerated scale formation and corrosion of the tank due to minerals in hard water. The perinanent remedy is to install a water conditioner, or softener. In the meantime, regularly drain off water from the bottom of the water tank until it runs clear, without that rusty look.

Hints on Hiding Scratches What to do about scratches on that fine new furniture?

Both the Cleanliness Bureau and the Home Furnishings Industry Committee recommend that time-honored first aid: rub the scratch with the meat of a Brazil nut to darken and make it practically invisible.

Perhaps you would prefer this more scientific treatment: mix a third each of white vinegar, turpentine, and boiled linseed oil (from the hardware store). Shake these ingredients in a bottle, and rub the mixture on the scratch with a lint-free rag. Then polish with a clean cloth.

The turpentine and linseed oil re-

move dirt, while the acid ,in the vinegar helps close up the scratch. Remove any greasy residue by washing the area with suds.

To remove dirt and tarnish from brass hardware: combine vinegar and salt it a ceramic diSe, and apply the mixture to a metal w_fi 1 ,',oft brush.

Then wash the handle, locks or other brass with soap or detergent suds, rinse with hot water and polish with a dry cloth.

M.S.G. Discovered 9i' Years Ago Monosodium glutamate, tasteless, odorless crystals that intensify food flavors, was isolated as a .pure substance in 1866 by a German chemist, H. J. Ritthausen.

Its value as a food seasoning was not recognized, however, until 1908, when a University of Tokio professor isolated. the substance in trying to find out why ,dishes cooked in concentrated seaweed stock had such a fine, full flavor.

The American product is derived from beet sugar molasses.

TEXAS CANCER STATISTICS Texas' number two killer — cancer —continues deep in second place behind the nation's front runner — heart disease.

Statistics make dull reu cling. However, some interesting fants concerning Texas' cancer picture come to light with a close look at the final 1962 figures compiled on cancer--death sites and ages.

A grand total of 12,282 Texans suffered death from cancer last year — or as the statisticians call it — malignant neoplasms.

Ages 55 to 79 are the (lingerous ages for cancer, claiming well over half of all victims — 7,604.

Sad fact of the matter is that many of the Cancer deaths which occur during these years may have really had their beginnings in earlier years -perhaps as young as 40 years of age.

For this reason public health authorities have been urging people to start a program of definitive physical examinations each year once they have passed their 40th birthday. Somehow, the admonitions still go unheeded by too many persons.

Deaths from cancer continue to mount. Each year the statistic is a little bit higher and a little bit sadder.

Cancer involving the digestive system, for instance, reaps the larg-

"Q.

est toll among cancer causes, claiming 3,686 lives last year.

Early diagnoses, before the malignancy has a chance to spread throughout the digestive tract, followed with modern treatment could cut this figure in half.

Breast cancer took 947 lives last year often women in the prime of their lives. For a long while now regular medical exaMlinationjs, supplemented with self - examination, have saved hundreds of lives each year. More could still be saved -- if they were found early enough.

Perhaps the most tragic statistic 'points out the hundreds of Texas women who die each year from the effects of uterine cancer.

Examination by labatory specialists of a smear sample, which, is obtained quickly, easily and painlessly by a physician, can determine the presence of malignant organisms long before the disease reaches the deadly stage in its victims.

Follow up medical procedures are nearly always successful — provided the diagnosis is made early enough.

Texas cancer statistics could be a lot lower, but meanwhile, the yearly compilations of the latest death, figures continues to rise. This is due to improved diagnosis and reporting coupled with better methods of case finding.

—Texas Health Coin. _tip( FEMALE HOUSEFLIES PRODUCE MALE ATTRACTANT College Station — Science has moved a step closer to biological control of houseflies with the discovery that female flies produce a chemical substance that attracts male flies. says the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Entomologists have found that the substance is highly specific in its attraction, not attracting female houseflies or flies of other species. The Department says that though more work is needed before the attractant is practical, it could be a preliminary step in developing new ways to control this insect pest.

The substance may be used to lure male flies into traps, to poison baits, or to a chemical sterilant. A prime advantage of attractants is that any chemicals combined with them do not come in contact with people. crops, livestock, fish or wildlife, the USDA explains.

Scientists of the USDA tested the attractant with the use of a device which did not allow the male flies

VESTNtE to see the females. Female flies were also frozen so that they made no sound and placed in the device and the male flies once again were attracted to them. From these tests researchers conclude that the smell emitted by the females was the attracting force.

Future work on the project will attempt to isolate, and chemically identify the substance and learn where it is produced in the female fly's body.

By the use of such attractants USDA scientists hope to be able to develop Insect control methods that are specific in their action and thus lessen the danger to beneficial forms of life.

On. October 11, 1770, Count Casimir Pulaski, famous Polish general, gave his life for the American cause during the War for Independence. Exiled from Poland, where he had fought for the liberation of his country, Pulaski met Benjamin Franklin in Paris and was persuaded to come to America. He arrived at Philadelphia in 1777, and because of his gallantry at the Battle of Brandywine he was placed in command of a cavalry unit and given the rank of brigadier general. He later organiz-

ecl the famed "Pulaski Legion" and in the autumn of 1779 commanded the French and American cavalry at the seige of Savannah, Georgia. Pulaski was mortally wounded during the battle and .died two days later aboard the warship "Wasp," in Savannah harbor.

Later, Fort. Pulaski at the mouth of the Savannah River was named in his honor. In 1939 President Roosevelt designated October 11th as Pulaski Day. Since then more than a score of states have observed his anniversary. In New York and many other cities with a large Polish - American population, it is customary to hold parades or other ceremonies on the first or second Sunday in October in honor of General Pulaski.

We sometimes wonder'what cats and dogs think of people.
