Vaclay Hollar byl exulant, proto jeho vehlasnost, kterd prekonala, etyri stoleti, je jiste inspiraci i pro nase dne gni umelce ye syobodnem svete.

Vdelay Hollar se narodil v Praze, odkud brzo po vyueeni ryteckemu umeni odeSel do sveta. V Nemecku se seznamil s tamnim anglickYm velvyslancem. lordem Arundelem, ktery ho pozval k sobe do LondYna . Roku 1637 se Hollar odstehoval do Anglie, kde se pozdeji oZenil s jednou darnou Arundelova dvora, "divkou neobyeejne krasy" podle slov Hollarova anglickeho Zivotopisee.

Hollar v brzku ziskal v tehd,ej gc, Anglii mnoho obdivovateld. Vytyoril -velke mnoZstvi del zachyeujieich anglieky venkov, anglicke venkovske 'Alechtieke. zamky, velkY eyklus rytin nazvany "Odevy anglickYeh Zen" a mnoho rytin LondYna j eg te pred velkYrn polarem roku 1666.

LondYnsky list "Times" vedle jinYch dennich lista prinesl elanek venovanY Hollarove vYstave. Autor elanku poukazuje Uvodem na to, Ze tento deskY rytec zachoval Anglii mnoZstvi nobledu na stredoveky LondYn. Hollar, jak pile :autor elanku. znamenal pro Londyn tolik', co Canaletto pro Benatky.

Hollarovi soueasnici pokraeuje list "Times", byli zajedno v torn, Ze Hollar byl muZem neobyeejneho pfivabu a takita kouzelnicke dovednosti. Byl stejne pracovitY jako dovednY, nebot' vytvoril pies 2.700 rytin, col je pramerne jedna rytina tYdne od doby, kdy zaeal umelecky tvorit. Krome rytin se zachovaly neseetne umelcovy skizzy, z nichl nektere, obz ylaSte kresby gotickYch -chramfi, jsou velmi krasne. A autor elanku pile "Vidime zde na vYstave mesta zapadni Evropy, tisnici se za hradbami, zatim co pokojny LondYn se giri d.o okolniho venkova.

Osndna noc ROMAN Pokradovani Hlas se ji trochu ehvel a jeji °et rozzaplanuly, ale v zapeti se na mujako by ho chlacholila. e "Main, jen jednu rad a to je ma henuSka," povidal lichotive a tiskl ruv ku, kterou mela na, jeho race polobenou.

"Ona take nema jineho rada, nee tebe," !dodala vroucne a oddechia si, jako by ji starost opouStela.

"Pojcl'ine si zataneiti," navrhoval s -Cram event.

"Chtela jsem si odpoeinouti, ale S tebou pijdu. TY2 s ni nebude g taneiti, be?"

"Nebudu," sliboval ochotne, ystayaje, aby ji do sale odvedl. "OvSem, kdyby pH violence pro mne prisla, musil bych s ni zataneiti, abych ji neurazil, ale to snad rtznaS sama jako nutne Pj;Z.'"' "Ant v torn pripade music jiti."

Pousmala se nan, dfrverne svou ruku na jeho rameno ylobila a primykajic uspokojene oci, 'clIala se jim unakti salem. Starost ji opustila a blizkost mubova zatla,eila vS'echny tisitive predstavy.

Nikoho z Inch z ylaAte nevyznamenavala, ale prece jen hlavni pozornost venovala mlademu selskemu hochovi, deriku Machalovi, kterY byl v pratelskYch vztazich k mladkm firednikum. Byl to jedinY syn zamobneho rolnika z vesnice, asi hodinu testy vzdalene, ltde mel jeho otec statek asi stopadesat men Mladk Machala vystudoval stredni hospoclarskou gkolu, byl by bYval rad prijal misto na nekterem velkostatku, aby se zbavil sedlaeiny, ktera mu nepripadala dosti panska, ale otec byl nefistupnY a roz-

Az si najdeg potadne (levee z venkova, ktere by se k tobe den se, popustim ti statek, dad mi vkmenek, abych mohl bYti s matkou z neho L y a potom ukaZ, co amid a eemu ses naudil."

6enek znal otce a yedel de co tekl, od toho neustoupi. Pohuboval si po strane matte, ale my glenky na panskou stunt z hlavy nepustil. Otec mu, nebranil, aby se stykal s mladymi ttedniky z okolnich velkostatkil a idkaval mu, aby se u nich tell co znamend, samostatnost.

"Vidig, jak se tkesou pied sliSTInt de -ditelasmry,jaksoupintzks, aby pan hrabe nebo baron je nevyhnal a oni nemeli, do eeho kousnouti.

"Ja bych bidy nemel," omlouval se syn.

"Ty ovgem bys ji nemel, chtel bys, aby to statek Lvil a to by byl velmi peknk potadek. Ze statku bys chtel Zivobyti a cizim bys daval praci. ne, dad praci statku a on ti da Lvobyti."

Nezbkvalo tedy, neZ vyhoveti otci, ale pki kalale ptilditosti vyhledaval spoleenost panskYch sluZebnikt, ktere poyaZoval za lep gi, neZ sve vesnicke rostence. Na zabave se mu libilo, bylo zde tolik hezky obledenYch .derveat a Atednici ho ptatelsky mezi sebe vitali, znajice ho z jinYch zabav, na kterYch se v2dy slu gne choval.

Zuza ho oslnila. Dojacleje nekolikrat za rok do Prahy, videl mnoho sy tidnYch den a jejich yyzYvave toalety. Na yenkove se deyeata i panidky oblekaly jednoclugeji a Zuza ye svem modernim yeeernim tbort se ostte od nich odraZela.

"Vy jste se jiste tell tanditi ye Ines*" povidala mu, kdyZ s nim byla v kole.

"Ovgem, studoval jsem na hospodatske gkole a kaidy rok jezdim do Prahy nejakk ples."

"Mate tam asi svou vyvolenou," usmala se.

"Nemam idosud Mdne," hajil se.

"Vagi rodide si nepteji, abyste se knil."

"Ach ne, tatinek mi kekl, abych se kdy uznam za dobre, ale Zadna se mi dosud nelibila. Prod zaeinati znamosti, kdyZ to knidemu nevede, otec mi nedovoli, abych ptijal misto iitednika a do statku se slu gnYm deveattm nechce."

"To ptece bude na vas zaleZeti, jakou si vyberete."

"Nu ano, ale kde a jak' ji nalezti. Kteje trochu lepsi, kaZda, chce se pouze do mesta provdati a z mesta na vesnici teprve by Zadna ne gla a kdyby gla, do hospodatstvi se nehodi."

"Ani pomYgleni! To by to v hospodthstvi vypadalo!

"Takove "nekdy" dobte znam, to je tolik, jako Ze neptijedete nikdy," kekla trochu urakne.

Pane o to prosim."

Dovedla se divati, Ze se mu ad hlava zatoeila.

"Dekuji za pozvani a pkijedu tedy pied polednem. Ale opravdu se bojim, Ze vam zpasobim mnoho nesnazi."

"Vy mne? To me tak malo znate?

AZ ptijedete, ptesveddite se. Jste takovY milk a uhlazeny a na prvY po hied jsem si vsimla, jak se ligite od ostatnich pant."

Stiskla silne jeho duku a lulad3'r Machala hotel rortouZenim. Zacli yal se na ni, videl, jak se nan laskypine diva, a jeho polled zabloudil take k jej imu vYstkiha. Nenapadaie se k nemu tesnejt pkitiskla a jeho nervy byly v pdameni.

"MUj milk," zageptaila skoro nesly gitelne, ale on to sly gel a jeho ruce jako Zelezne zabotily se do jejiho past.

"To bolt," pronesla tichounce, "pojd'te na chvilku yen. je Yelike horko a pottebuji si trochu vydechnouti.. Nechod'te hued za nmou, piljdu napfed."

Jegte pketanella kolern a potom vysmeknn ygi se mu, propletla se mezi nakupenYmi a vybehla yen pied hostinec.

Venku byla trna, ale z oken hostince padaly pruhy svetla na cestu, vraubenou starYmi stromy. Malieko se zimou zaclivela, potom v gak popogla dale, kde byl stin. Rychle si sdhla na aces, poopravila si krajky a upfela polled ke dverim hostince. KdyZ se Machala objevil, slabe odkaglala a toinila krok ke svetlu, jakmile vg ak videla, Ze jde k ni, vratila se do troy.

"Je yam zde 161)0" ptal se ji.

"Ano, je mi lope, ale bojim se sama.

Chtela bych se kousek projiti a vy jste bez klobouku."

"Jsem tomu zvykly a ott'Zilk, ale dejte pozor, tabyste neuklozla do ptikop.u."

"ZadrZim se vas, dovolite-li," a neeekajic na jeho dovoleni, vsunula svou ruku pod jeho paZi, a tesne se k nemu ptitiskla. "Tina na nine tisnive Ptisobi,

Ovinul svou ruku kolem jejiho pasu a ona spodinula testae , na, jeho prsou, Sli nekolik kroktl, potom Zuza zvolnila kroky, zmocnila se jeho ruky a tiskla ji ke s yYm nacirfim.

"Jsem yam trochu mild?" ptala se vybizive.

"Jste rasna a mild," hudel pritahuje ji rukou, aby byla tvati v tvar proti nentu. "Smim vas polibiti?"

"Napked ja vas, toutila jsem polibiti vas na 6sta."

Prudce oddychovala, tiskla se k nemu celym telem, a yzav'Si jeho hlavu do: syYch dlani, zadala ho vaSnive libati.

Bylo cosi draveho v techto polibcich, ktere at bolest priscobily. Nedekal na dovoleni a zmocniv se ji libal ji jako Silenk, pokrYvaje- jeji tvar i hrdlo polibky. Chvela se v jeho patich, ale znovu a znovu nastavovala mu sve nice i svou aiji k polibkrim, , ktere zatehnavaly v nem i v ni plarneny.

"Ne, dues ne a zde to neni motno, mohli bychom bYti spatreni. Pdijd'te v nedeli a tam .budeme sami."

Nemusila si ovSem styskati na nedostatek spolednosti, pani byli kolem ni stale jako roj vdel, ale pies to citila osten pohrclani. Kdyt jecine chvile kolem ni Klara a ona se na ni usrnivala, nebyl jeji Usiney opakovan a dtla v oeich KlarinYeh pohrdani.

Po pal noel byla odtroutena volenka.

V Prue rade Sla pro Machalu a jeji odi, ktere k nem-a zvedala, byly piny rortouteni. J. eptala mu sladka. sclova a pripominala slib navStevy. Pretanella s nim nekolikrate dokola a spatrivSi, te Kulad prdve predava svou tentv jinemu taneeniku, ktereho si vybrala, pritoeila se cyclic, a net mohl Kulde se vysmeknouti, drtela ho za ruku.

"Jen malt' tanedek, nevernY pane," povidala a kousavou veselosti, "kolik ho hodin jste si nine ani nevMml." "Videl jsem, ze jste tanedky oblehana a musil jsem provacleti starSi damy," omlouval se nejiste.

"Dobre vain rozumirn, nemusite to skryvati. Jste do sve pani zamilovan a ja ji toho preji. Ale jednou se s vami setkati muslin," povidala tide a tonern tak ureitkrn, te nepo:chyboval o jejim odh Odiani. "jakrulle budu mitt volnou chvilku, sliboval usoutene.

Tedy ye stredu ye tri hodiny ve Strundicich, nebo druheho dne navAteva v myslivne. Tak, ted' vas pustim, muslin tanditi s tern!, kteri se nine ujali."

Postavila ho, strojend se nan usmala a chvatala i tanci, vyzvati jednoho z mladYch Urednikt. Kulad byl v Prve chvili vkcek popleten, a aby zakryl kozeileni, del se napiti. Cestou se ho zmocnila znama, panidka a Kulad tripelive s etode, premfSlel, co delati. Zuza ma zlost, te ji opomijel a on si nemohl pomoci, protote se jj bal a protote citil patravY pohled Klarin, kterY ho sledoval.

Az kdyt asi se dvema zatandil, nabyval trochu klidu. Bylo side velmi nemile, ze ho Zuza k dostavenieku vyzvala, ale jen kdyt mu da, zde pokoj. Snarl' do stredy ho nee° moudreho napadne, snad se neco nepredviclaneho stane a on bude miti vyhrano. Potladil aye strachy a dal se strhnouti k veselosti, jet byla katdou hodinu nevazanejM. Take Klarka byla vesela, vSimla si, 2e se mut„ kdyt se Zuzou tandil, neWastdrive cokoliv mezi nimi, nyni. tft to ne dival, a byla si jista, te at' bylo ztratilo na sve pritatlivosti.

Nebylo daleko do dne, kdyt se spolednost rozchazela. Najemce Tobe:), se pri§el rozlouditi, byl trochu podnapilY, a zrejme velmi spokojenY. "Tate krasne to zde bylo, po drithe se zase sem podivame. Zuzka , se vytandila, ze cele S'aty zkazila, ale at', aspon nebude si stYskati na svou samotu, Nekciv si k nam udelejte vYlet, radi vas uhlidame," "A vv se stavte a rids," val ho spr:ivce rozjarenk Pani spravcova. i Klarka mleely, nemolly vSak odmitnouti nodani silky Zuzce, jet zahalena do kotichu, prkla se poroudeti. Byla v oblide j i jako strlaana, a, j eji fismey byl yyzkvavY. "Pripoluii se k nozvani. tatinkovu, Prijd'te hodne brzy."

12 "Podle priletitosti," prohodila spra y -covaptrnechladjistklaruku. "Ta vypada jako by byla napild," prObodila, ka - Klake, kdyt Zuzka odegla. ":Ona take je," va gni je opila. Viala jsi •jak ti mladi blazni se kolem ni nahintli a tlaeili se k ni, jako, by to byth Vetejne devee? Ze ji -neni banba, je z pokadne rodiny, jiste se bude chtiti provdati a kdo by si ji takovouhle vzai." ' "Dejte s tim pokoj," rozhodl spra y -ce,toui padoeinku,"apjd'te donna.

Kula:6 byl tchanovi vdeeen, te pketrhl povickini o Zuz.e. Videl sice, to ho nepodeziraji, ale vedomi viny a strach pied ZuzinYmi intrikami ho desily a pdlily. Kdyt usedl do povozu vedle Klarky, ptivinul se k ni a libaje ji /lane, ujigkoval, jak ji ma rad a jaka, byla dnes libezna. Pkijimala radar jeho lichotRy, tine se smala a ruku mu hladila.

"Vychovala jsem si te, ty •darebaku," povidala 'netne. "Byls kdysi take takovY divoch, jako ti ho gi, mohl ses podivat, jak je to og klive a jak se zahazovall. Neodsuzuji je, jako odsuzuji ji.

"Ne mluvme oni. co je nam do ni,' tadal mrzute. "Te gim se na odpoeinek a nikdy vice tadneho poradatelstvi neprijmu, xlovek potom zkusi, na,beha se a musi kde kterou provadet."

"Bylo ti to zdrave," smala se, "byl bys sedel upiva a opil by ses."

"Tatinek sedel take u Piva a nic se ne•opil."

"Ale: ano, ma dost velikou gpieku."

"J(nZe ty bys chtel take jindy si tolik popkati, a to ja. nechci. Mut, ktery b mnoho pil, byl by mi protivnY a Sttila bych se ho. To na mne take spani, musime si pialeteti, snad Baru gka: v geohno opatri."

Klarka dovede sice bYti take tadouci, zatouti po rozkogi, ale cirri to vtdy takovYm delikatnim tpilsobem, te je clivojnasok ptivabna, kdeZto u Zuzy je to jen a jen smyslnY potitek a k tomu je gte hrubY, po kterem nasleduje odpor.

Co ma tede delati? Vyhovi-li a piljde11 do Struneic, skonei se to neverou a svedomi mu bade einiti vYieitky. Nevyhovi-li, Zuza je schopna vetriti se do jeho domacnosti a rozvratiti jeho Stesti.

Byl ut dokonce pkesvedeen, to Zuza byla uratena a vytYkal si, proe nemel trpelivost a nenechal Zenu a tahyni u ni, to by jiste bylo Zuzu uspokojilo a nebyla by se dotadovala noveho setkani.

Dobie si vgimal, jak ti mladi byli stale kolem ni, a gpatne by ji znal, kdyby nepozoroval, te nektery z nich padl do oka ji a nekterernu ona. A Zuza neni z tech, kdo se diouho rozmY gleji, je laepa potitkil a koho si vybeke, toho uchvati.

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROM THE E ITOR'S DESK With the new year well on its way, the various officers in all our. SPJST lodges have begun getting acquainted with their offices. In some cases, of course, the same officers remained at their posts, and will simply continue as before. Whatever the case, every member expects that each officer will tackle the task before him (or her) with the utmost zeal, diligence, and thoroughness. The membership rightly expects each officer to perform their duties honestly, properly, and as punctually as possible . Most officers have been made aware of their various duties and responsibilities, but it will do no harm to remind them all that the by-laws of our Order must be followed and obeyed in all instances, even when some portions of them are not exactly to our own personal liking. We have a convention (19th coming up) to make amendments and modifications in our by-laws, but between conventions it is imperative that lodges and their officers follow our by-laws implicitly. They should acquaint themselves with them as best they can. The lodge brothers and sisters should help their elected leaders as much as possible, to make their tasks as easy and pleasant as possible. These tasks and responsibilities are not always easy.

There may be just a little "glamour" associated with holding an office in a lodge, but about 90 per cent or better is plain old sweat, worry, and hard, consistent work.

The lodge officers are YOUR officers. You elected them. You gave them responsibilities and duties to carry out in your behalf. A certain amount of authority must go along with these duties and responsibilities . You cannot assign a man or woman a job, and then tie their hands behind their backs, and expect them to produce. It behooves every member to join the common effort, work together with their elected

ED RATHER . . .

I'd rather SEE a sermon than hear one any day.

I'd rather one would WALK with me than merely tell the way.

The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear; Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.

I soon can learn to do it, if YOU'LL let me see it done.

I can watch YOUR hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.

The lectures you deliver may be wise and true, But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what YOU do.

I may not understand the high advice you give, But there's no misunderstanding how YOU act and how YOU live. officers so that their lodge might prosper and forge ahead in all respects.

Remember this: if you're not moving ahead, you must be standing still. If you're standing still, you're apt to start moving backwards. It is also the duty of every member to see to it that elected officers do their jobs properly, according to the rules and by-laws of the Order. • One of the basic requirements, and indeed characteristics, of a prosperous ledge is that lodge affairs be run in an orderly, systematic fashion. General disorder, disarray, confusion, and poorly conducted meetings have driven more members away from active lodge participation than any other single factor. Where chaos exists the membership and participation is naturally low and ebbing. Members lose confi-

dence in their leaders when things are run and conducted in a sloppy manner. New members make sure they stay away, and they are hard to get.

We've harped on these points before in this column but the'y need repeating ever so often.

It is likewise the duty of the lodge president to see to it that the other lodge officers, committees, .etc. do their tasks well and on time. He should not hesitate "jacking up" a careless officer or committee member when he or she has shown open neglect or indifference. Remaining silent and pretending as though nothing happened may be the easiest way out of a delicate situation, but it will solve nothing, and the lodge will be worse off because of it. The president of a lodge, then, is the key figure in any lodge organization. If he LEADS and doesn't push, PERSUADES and doesn't intimidate, he will be a successful leader. A leader LEADS; 'lie shows the way. Consequently, so much depends on him.

In fact, the life of the lodge may depend on him. He might make it or break it,

In this week's Vestnik, we see the results of some "polite urging" pertaining to lodge resolutions of sympathy, a subject we covered in this column a week or so ago. It may just be a coincidence, but the fact remains that somebody was literally moved to action. The results can be seen in almost a dozen resolutions of sympathy. Such attention to one detail can only result in good for he lodge and the whole Order. It proves that our lodge presidents are indeed conscientious leaders, and have accorded due respect to our deceased members. It is fitting and proper that we do, this. Our departed brethren deserve no less.

14 Members and officers alike have the responsibility of jointly promoting educational and cultural activities within their lodges, The offering of a sound insurance program is certainly one of our most important assets, but it should not be the only one. Fraternal organizations like our SPJST, must foster and promote music, and various arts, folklore, remind the youth of their socio-political (patriotic) responSibilities, care for our aged and infirm members, and perform works of chari-; ty in the communities in which we live. We expect to be hearing from the various youth clubs and lodges during the coming months regarding their "pro1ects" for charity works in their towns and communities. We dealt with this subject in this column a couple of weeks ago. We must continue to build our image in our cities, towns, villages, and communities. We must continue to improve our PUBLIC RELATIONS — that's what it all boils down to.

We must continue to see to the needs of our youth clubs. Wholesome entertainment (in many and varied forms); responsible goals assigned to them: and other forms of self-improvement and growth must be encouraged. They should be allowed to accomplish these things through their own methods and according to their own talents. Please consider the charity projects we wrote about. If you never give a dime to such efforts, visit a school for the blind, an institute for handicapped, children, for the mentally retarded. If nothing else, you will be a better young man of young lady when you leave Such a place. What you see will educate you; it will startle you; it will mature you just a little; it will help you have a wiser and healthier appreciation of your own assets and develop a stronger feeling; for your less fortunate fellow-citizens. Life is not all parties, sock hops, and skating parties. It, is indeed cruel and ruthless at, times.

Think about these things the next time your lodge or youth club "runs out of soap." A Braille typewriter doesn't cost so awfully much. We're a fraternal society, aren't we?

and methods, we'll keep them , They will be our future leaders. If we don't keep them, there won't be any leaders.

It is as simple as that • In this new year of 1964, as in years past, we will need the cooperation and joint efforts of ALL to help our Order prosper. The interest of the WHOLE, not of any individual group of individuals, should be the rock upon which we should continue to build. This philosophy has brought us a long way. If we adhere to it, we will enjoy a bright future. A fraternal society cannot offer certain advantages to one and deny them to another. In this respect, we are all equal. The tiniest, 'youngest baby has the same rights and advantages as the oldest member. Modern business procedures should be incorporated in the administration of our SPJST, just as they are in other businesses and in industry, • • In modernizing however, we must NEVER lose sight of the most humanitarian values with which a fraternal society such as ours is endowed.

Care of our widows, orphans, promoting cultural-educational projects, looking after the needs and desires of our youth, are all noble objectives of any fraternal society — of the SPJST.

Dear Friends, I wish to apologize to Sister Vlasta Divis for stating in my last report that Sister Vlasta Hruska will be the new youth director for our lodge. I hope that both of you will accept my apology. I shall not say that I shan't do it again because this kind of mistake is easily made. Sister Vlasta Divis is our new youth director, so from now on if any of you want your -children to be on the programs, notify her. Sister Divis, I wish you much luck and if I can be of any help do not hesitate to call on me.

Also in reporting our program I left out Sister Betty Ann Olejnik She played two Christmas selections on a clarinet. Sorry Betty, your selections were appreciated and I hope you will enter our talent contest this year.

Brother Hejl and I wish to thank all the members of our lodge for the honor they bestowed upon us. We want you to know that we were really surprised and this honor was certainly appreciated.

Bro. John Martin of Sokol Portland, Oregon, has done an outstanding piece if work in securing Senators Wayne Morse, and Maurine Neuberger, all the state's representatives, the governor of the state and the mayor of Portland to actively support our request for the Sokol's Commemorative Stamp. He was appointed as the stamp campaign manager in the State of Oregon and immediately gathered a hard driving committee to inform the public officials of the Sokol's Centennial and their request for a Commemorative Stamp. His personal letters and visits to the officials helped secure their unqualifiet support. Add to this the hundreds of letters we know Oregon has sent to the Posmaster and you can see why we say to Bm. John Martin and Sokol Portland, Oregon, "Well Done," yours is the Sokol spirit that overcomes all obstacles.

Sis. Emily Korinek and the Czech Club in Robertsdale, Alabama, have answered beautifully our request for support by securing official support and bombarding the postal department.We need little guns and big ones.

At the Akademie of Sokol Detroit on December 7th, a petition for the stamp was unanimously approved and signed by 400 Sokols and their friends. On December 14th, at the celebration of Bro. Charles Zahradnicek's 70th birthday at Sokol Tyrs, Cleveland, Ohio, a petition was again approved carrying 300 signatures of Sokol members and many other organization leaders, dozens of them government officials.

From the 90th Anniversary of Sokol Cedar Rapids came a petition with 350 signatures, the Christmas meeting of the Bohemian Woman's Civic Club of Chicago, (95 signatures), the Women's Division of the Bohemian Charitable Association (67 signatures), annual meeting of the Bohemian National Cemetery Association, Chicago (75 signatures).

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all".

Nation Continues Smoking Jag Despite higher prices and the socalled "cancer scare," Americans smoked more cigarettes in 1963 than ever before in history — 523 billion of them.

Reporting January 1st, the Agriculture Department foresaw no significant letup in the nation's smoking jag in 1964. There will be more persons of smoking age, it said, and the prospect of higher personal incomes would fa-

vor continued high tobacco consumption.

For many years farming has ranked as the third most hazardous occupation. Work accidents have helped push the farmer into, this position, comprising 31 per cent of the total accidents in which he is involved. Only motor vehicle accidents are more frequent among farmers.

Janet Pavliska Fraternally, WHAT IS A GOOD TEACHER? (Study Conducted) Washington — From virtually every school in every city and town in the United States has come the cry, at times a wail, for more good teachers.

The wish has been repeated so often that a group of U. S. educators set about figuring out the definition of a good teacher.

The results of their studies were published in "The National Elementary Principal," a publication of the National Education Association (NEA) .

Among the more unusual conclusions, listed under the heading teacher characteristics, were what a good teacher probably is not: —He is probably not the most intelligent among his peers. "In general, there appears to be only a slight relationship between intelligence and rated success of an instructor."

—He is probably not an encyclopedia of facts about the subject he teaches. "A common misconception is that knowledge of subject matter is a major factor in teaching performance."

—He is probably not from a home where an understanding of literature and the arts was encouraged. "There is no substantial evidence that cultural background is significantly related to teaching effectiveness.

The study pointed out that while iintelligence is needed an important factor in a good teacher, how important it is "depends upon the situation.

"This does not mean that teachers do not need to be intelligent," the study said. "Rather, those who teach have been selected on the basis of intelligence, and within the range of scores characteristic of teachers, differences in intelligence have not been shown to be crucial."

As for knowledge of subject matter, it said: "Except for occasional studies in mathematics, chemistry and physics, research findings report little relationship to teaching performance.

Among the other "characteristics" of a good teacher discovered in the study were the following: —"It appears that a teacher's rated effectiveness at first increases rapid-

23 ly with experience and then levels off at five years or beyond. The teacher may show little change in rated perfomance for the next 15 or 20 years, after which, as in most occupations, there tends to be a slow decline.

--("The relationship of socio-economic status .. , to criteria of instructor effectiveness is low," although "those (teachers) from higher groups usually have greater probabilities of success in life than those less fortunate.

—There are "no particular differences" when the effectiveness of male and female teachers have been coinpa— red.

A teacher's attitude bears a "small but positive" relationship to teaching effectiveness.

—The quality of a teacher's voice may be of some minor importance to his success.

The study said the two major causes of a teacher's failure are "poor maintenance of discipline and lack of cocoperation." Factors such as health, educational background, preparation, age and knowledge of subject matter are "relatively unimportant factors."

The study added one final — if pointed — conclusion: "Despite some prejudice to the contrary, there appears to be no evidence that married teachers are in any way inferior to single teachers."

--SPJ ST-APPLY FOR SUMMER JOB NOW!

College students and high school graduates-to-be: Now is the time to inquire about and apply for summer jobs.

January may seem a little early. But it isn't.

In fact, the race is already on among the college set to get good-paying summer work.

Actually this business of applying for a summer job is about as competitive as trying to get into a good college. Remember how early you had to apply for admission to the school of your choice? At least several months, if not a year in advance.

It has almost come to that point in obtaining a summer job. Work is in demand. And there just aren't enough jobs to go around — especially of the higher paying type. ,So, the earlier you apply, the better choice n rld chance you have.

For The Housewife February Plentifuls A wide variety of foods in good supply at economical prices is available to help appease hearty winter appetites.

Especially abundant are eight items that make up the February list of plentiful foods, reports the Texas Agricultural EXtension Service.

Broiler-fryers and pecans are featured on the list, as compiled by the Agricultural Marketing Service in couperation with producers and food trade. Other February plentifuls are beef, canned corn, potatoes, canned ripe olives and apples.

With an all-time record 290-million pound pecan crop still moving to market, pecans should be a good buy all month. Broiler-fryer prices are expected to drop even below last year's record Fbruary low, as marketings increase.

Fed cattle prices were running more than '$6 per hundred below last year, the lowest since 1956, and not much improvement is expected until spring.

Heavy pork supplies through February are expected to keep prices low. In December, hog prices were the lowest for that time of year since 1955.

Record-high stocks of canned corn — Whole, creamed and on the cob -- are the result of three consecutive years of heavy packs. Many stores are running canned corn specials. A heavy fall potato crop will continue to provide large supplies for home use. Apples are keeping well and remain plentiful. And the year's supply of canned ripe olives totals 3.5 million cases. The largest amount moved in any previous year was 2.4 million cases.

So check your plentifuls as you shop.

The list is your guide for providing more food for your grocery dollar.

KNOW HOW YOUR FREEZER MEAT IS HANDLED With the recent interest in buying large quantities of meat for home freezers, consumers are advised by Frank Orts, meat specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, to seek more information on meat quality and proper processing methods.

Beef, lamb or pork which is to be stored in the home freezer should be frozen at a low temperature in order to retain the juiciness and flavor of the fresh product, he says. Rapid freezing also is an aid to tenderness, and meat should be frozen at a temperature of -20 to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The type of wrapping paper used , is also an important factor to be considered when purchasing a side or quarter of beef, says Orts. Meat should be wrapped in a high quality 4 ply wax coated paper, •polyethylene coated paper or aluminum foil to insure its keeping quality. Meat which is wrapped in a poor quality paper is subject to excessive dehydration or freezer burn, and double wrapping will not compensate for low quality paper, he emphasizes.

The method of wrapping is also an important factor to consider when purchasing meat for the freezer. A "drug store" wrap is most efficient in excluding air from the package, according to Orts, and the flaps should be closed tightly with a, good quality tape. Since torn places in, a package will allow free entry of air, which will dehydrate the meat, these packages should be rewrapped.

Confidence in the processor or locker plant operator and the type of meat he handles will substitute for personal inspection and judgement in obtaining the desired quality of beef, lamb or pork for your home freezer, explains the specialist. But be sure to give the processor exact cutting and packaging instructions, or ask his advice if you are not familiar with cuts and cutting methods, advises Orts.

FAMILIES UPGRADE FOOD PURCHASES The average American family is upgrading its food purchases, although members now spend only 19 per cent of family income after taxes for food. This compares with 25 per cent s pent immediately after World War II. MoSt foods have increased in price during the past ten years, but so haye other consumer goods and services, says Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension Service consumer Marketing spe. cialist.

During the last decade, food marketing costs rose about 10 per cent, and during the same period, housing costs rose 32 per cent, medical care went up 57 per cent, and take-home pay of the average American rose 59 per cent.

Today's family is buying more meat and fruits and vegetables and fewer cereals and other lower priced foods.

With increased income, the average family chooses to buy more convenience-type foods, including prepared mixes, frozen foods and heat-andserve meals. New and better packaging and marketing methods now provide fresh produce all year. Through research, processors are continually providing new products that American consumers are requesting. &M Ext.

PAST DECADE OF TEXAS POPULATION CHANGES STUDIED Texas on April 1, 1960, numbered just over 9.5 million. By 1970, the total is expected to reach 11.7 million, according to Dr. R. L. Skrabanek, Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology, Texas A and M University.

Dr. Skrabanek has recently made available an analysis of significant changes in Texas' population during the past decade, and he points out that in one way or another, these changes are important to every Texan.

A rapidly growing population — the Texas increase was 24 per cent from 1950-60 compared with 18 per cent for the nation — means more customers for all types of goods and services. Also increased needs for education, health and recreational facilities, religious and welfare services and highway and communications facilities.

All sections of Texas from 1950-60 did experience the gain in population. The analysis shows that 143 counties lost population while 111 accounted for the increase. In general, urban areas grew rapidly while most rural areas showed population declines. Areas with the declining population are faced with adjustments just as those registering increases, Dr. Skrabanek found.

His study points out that for the first time in history, females outnumbered males; that the percentage of people in the under 15 and over 65 years of age groups are increasing

Wednesday, January 22, 1964 faster than those in the most productive ages of life; that whites were increasing faster than non-whites and that the educational and income levels rose substantially between 1950-60.

Organizations, agencies, groups and individuals whose work involves population adjustment should find Dr. Skrabanek's analysis very valuable.

--A M Ext. Service INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION On-the-job injuries result from a psychological process, a study of some 300 industrial accidents indicates.

Analysis of case histories, according to a recent report by the American Medical Association, revealed certain patterns of behavior preceding mishaps.

In fact, these patterns were so sharply defined it may be possible, with further study, to predict and therefore prevent such accidents.

"Before the accident occurs," reports a current article in the AMA Journal, "there is a state of conflict and anxiety within the patient. As a result of this condition the worker finds a selfdestructive, injury-producing act which causes his "death" as a worker. From this moment the patient reacts exactly as do other psychiatrically ill people, except for the character of his symptom. Instead of having a presenting complaint of anxiety, depression, or other classical psychiatric symptom, he has the physical disorder which is the result of his accident."

Typical behavior before accidents reflects many skilled workers suddenly doing things which even novices would not make the mistake of doing. Often, safety rules are broken and several infractions frequently occur at the same time.

For example, workers received injury after repeatedly walking through well-recognized and marked danger areas without wearing protective helmets. When asked to explain this conduct, the workers gave reasons that were "vague, or even silly, in every case."

Another pre-accident pattern uncovered by the study was a prediction of impending doom made by the worker himself.

VSSTNfS such forebodings have been observed previously in Air Force medicine with the result that flight surgeons and supervisory personnel were instructed to withdraw flying privileges at such times. In the future, plant medical officers may possibly make similar use of workers' forebodings, if by no other means than watching for a sudden increased frequency of sick calls.

These cases indicate that something threatening happens inside of a worker and he may seek pain or injury as a solution, researchers say.

Identifying these patterns as a part of the psychological process may open new avenues toward industrial accident prevention.

—Texas Dept. of Health —6PJSTBUSINESS FAILURES DUE TO WEAKNESS IN MANAGEMENT According to business reports, 88 per cent of all business failures are due to weaknesses in management, says Kenneth Wolf, agri-business economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Agribusiness firms, like all other businesses, are finding that managers must continually become more skilled if they are to solve the ever-increasing problems which they face, reports Wolf.

Management is the only unique feature which any business firm can expect to have that no competitor can exactly copy or duplicate, he adds.

The Bureau of Business Research in Austin, reports Texas business activity during September was down by four per cent. Despite this, the index of business activities in the state for the first three quarters of 1963 registered a gain of 4.5 per cent over the same period of 1962, says Wolf. These analyses indicate that, although the overall business trend is favorable, there are rough spots which can be overcome only through better management skills, he continues.

A recent comprehensive study made in Texas concerning business practices emphasizes the need for more formalized long-range planning by businessmen to avoid the pitfalls of random decision making. The days of operating a business from the "hip pocket" are gone, according to Wolf. He explained that the question each agribusiness firm manager must answer before getting involved in details is: "Where do I want my business to be

27 in 1970, and what specific programs do I have set up to help me get there?"

KIDNEYS TRANSPLANTED FROM BABY TO VETERAN The University of Arkansas Medical Center announced on Jan. 3rd it had transplanted two kidneys from a dead infant to a 40-year-old war veteran from Morrilton, Ark. It was the first kidney transplant performed at the center and especially unusual because no adult organs were used. The kidneys used were those from a 26-month-old child who had died from a brain tumor.

Physicians involved declined to predict tne final outcome of the operation. But they said the patient had responded well following surgery and the transplanted kidneys at the present were functioning normally.

The patient had been kept alive by an artificial kidney for three months prior to surgery. The transplant was performed New Year's Day by a medical center surgical-medical-nursing team headed by Dr. William J. Flanigan, a Little Rock-born graduate of the university school of medicine. Flanigan is an assistant professor of medicine who has supervision of the center's clinical research unit.

Flanigan said the operation was signincant from the standpoint of preparation for future patients. He said the primary reason for using an infant's kidney was that the child who died had the same bloodtype as the war veteran.

"Similarity of blood type isn't an absolute essential but it is preferable and because of this patient's weakened uu–uition we wanted to give him every chance," the doctor said.

The patient was transferrea to the medical tenter from the Veterans Administration hospital in Septernuer in anticipation of the operation. But not until New Year's Eve was there a donation of sound organs for the transplant . Flanigan, also a consultant to the VA hospital, said the parents of tne truant had donated the kidneys.

The United States is doing well in the replacement of personnel, with a rate of 1.8 per cent a year, according to Brown. This rate is high for an industrial nation but a significant factor in this picture is the a ge distribution of these replacements.

The sociologist points out that over half of the increase in the nation's population between 1960 and 1970 will occur among people under 18 years of age or over 65. The number of people between the ages of 35 and 44 will decline slightly as will their proportion to the whole, says Brown. This means there will be more dependents to care for and fewer people of the productive ages to care for them.

In the task of teaching young people to be useful citizens; our nation is not faring so well, explains Brown. Today it 'is difficult to earn a good living with only an elementary education.

On January 14, 1639 — 325 years ago — the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, a body of laws based on the Foundation Principles of Thos. Hooker, were adopted by the colonists.

These "Orders" established the government of the Connecticut Commonwealth, which was settled by a small band of men and women from Massachusetts who had left because of their dissatisfaction with that colony's autocratic form of government, Althoughthe Fundamental Orders accepted the unity of the church and state, their unique characteristic was the elimination of a religious test for citizenship.

On January 19, 1809 — 155 years ago — Edgar Allan Poe, poet, short-story writer, and critic, was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Orphaned as a child, he was brought up in the home of a Virginia merchant, John Allan, whose name he assumed as his middle name.

Poe's first volume, "Tamerlane and Other Poems," was published anonymously in 1827, followed by two other volumes of poetry which appeared under his name, in New York. In 1838, he moved to Philadelphia, where he edited three magazines, but a few years later he returned to New York.

As a freelance writer, he published his poem, "The Raven," which won him his first fame. Poe's chronic poverty, alcoholism, and poor health worsened after the death of his wife in 1347.

QUAIL HUNTERS STILL ENJOYING SUCCESSFUL HUNT Quail hunters in the north Panhandle are still having good hunting success and should continue to do so until the Panhandle quail season closes January 31. Sportsmen participating in public hunts on the Gene Howe Area near Canadian, Texas, are sharing in good harvest with daily bag limits approaching 6-7 birds per hunter, while normal hunting years usually provide hunters with only 2-3 birds per bag.

The bothersome and sometimes destructive problem of birds in hay lofts can be solved by the use of a flashing light. A revolving cylinder with two amber and two clear lenses placed over a 75 watt bulb will annoy the birds and drive them away. Don't burn the light at night, however, because from a distance the flashing amber and white lights make the barn appear to be on fire.

A potential expart market of over 60 million pounds of pork a year will be opened up to American producers when hog cholera is eradicated from the U.S. This market for some $15.3 million worth of pork is not now available because 11 foreign countries bar U. S. pork due to cholera.

BIOLOGISTS STUDY TEXOTIC SPECIES More and more hunters and explorers in the field are seeing animals new to Texas. These "Texotics" are animals introduced into the Lone Star State by various means.

The Wildlife Restoration Division of the Parks and Wildlife Department is conducting a survey of these animals to determine which foreign species are present and in what numbers, according to Al Springs, coodina tor for the division.

So far, 17 species have been found in varing numbers of 1 to 4,334. Listed in descending order according to numbers thus recorded they are nilgai untelope, blaekbuck antelope, axis deer, mouflon sheep, Barbary (aoudad) sheep, sika deer, fallow deer, sambar deer, barasingha deer, African antelope, English red reed, eland antelope, spotted fallow deer, albino phose of fallow deer, Asiatic sheep, Puerto Rican deer. The European boar is included in the survey, but a placement according to numbers present is not available.

An article in the January issue of "Texas Game and Fish" includes line drawings by Nancy McGowan of 10 of the species mentioned. Accompanying cutlines briefly describe the animal's physical appearance and note their native ranges.
