Byla asi dvacet krok5 od myslivny, kdy2 na opaene strane obevil se jako na zavolanou lesmistr, odkudsi se vra-

"Pardon, pane lesmistfe," zavolala rychle popogedgi.

Zastavil se, vratil se na cestu a popogel nejaky krok v Ustrety. Nemohl zakrYti rozpaky, byl v gak klidny ona take necitila rozeileni, "Praia jste si, milost pani?" taml se, kdy2 k nemu dogla.

"Dovolte, pane lesmistre, je mnoho mladych mu2ft a firednikti, kteri za svobodna se nerozoakovali uCiti rozkoge a vein! by se divili, kdyby je nekdo za to volal it odpovednosti," povidala s chladnou va2nosti a lesmistr cite gleh, nachylil hlavu. "Nezazlivain to Kulaeovi, nebyl sam nebyl jedinY lehkomyslny.

"Nerada jsem se odhodlala jiti k vam prave s touto veal, ale pochopite, Ze sveho mutedo toho zasvecovati nemohu. Jsem At'stna,'Ze dosed nema nejmenSiho podezreni a Ze ma cute tolik rad."

Dala na ta slova duraz a lesmistr bil lehce holi do zeme.

"No ano, to vSe j a chapu. Snad byste mi mohla oe jde."

"Zajiste, proto jsem sem priSla.

Odmleela se a lesmistr letmo se na ni podival, zahledel se pred sebe a chvili mleel.

"Snad by mohl starosta ..."

"Dejte pokoj se starostou, za etvrt hodiny by to vedela cela yes."

"Tedy zajdu rano k advokatovi."

"A cele Struneice si budou povidati, Ze mezi TobeSovou a. advokatem jsou nejake eachry."

"Nevim opravdu, co hned vec p1-i1-la nahle a nemam easu v1-echno uvaZdti. Abych ja tam sam zakl s Tobekvon hovoril, toho si take neprojete."

"Nerada bych se dlonho zdrZovala a take pro vas nebylo by vYhodno, aby vas lide dloaho se mnou videli. Kdyhy se nine nekdo tazal, co jsem s vami hovorila, reknu, Ze jsem se primlouvala za zete, abyste nan nezapomnel a dal mu v myslivne prove,sti opravy.

COMMON EXPRESSZOD'IS OF COURTESY dekuji — thank you prosim you are welco. e (means "please" but used instead of Engl ish "you are welcome") se stab — I was glad to do it neni zae don't mention it "Dekuji" is sine ar. Somet is more proper is as "dekuM ed : Plural is "deand is more often irujeees". It is not s.ecessary to add an of "you", but it could be done often done. Then, it is "dekuji ti" when we are close to the person addeessed, or, "dekuji Vain" if the relation to the person addressed is more formal, The most common reply to the word "dekcji" is the word "prosier!". "Rado se s io" and "neT 7 is used shutor "don't permisAon, (the ar=gon me, (pl ease) odpust'te (pro:. excuse me, (please) prominte (ores/ I a sorry pardon inc /lie se nestalo it was nothing Thu word "ersy.h.e.°' ir the eu r d cornc‘i ,,'ni,1:11 '71 •eal. ecemtesv

is e The words, "odpust'te" and "promiiite" mean practically the same. The informal addreess would be "promin and

"odpust" to be used only with those persons with . whom you are on a "thou" basis. The "thou" and "you" basis sounds archaic in English, but there is an important difference in the relation between persons whom we address "thou" — in Czech "ty" (the verb `"tykati Si"), and persons we address "you" — in Czech "vy" — and, therefore, the verb describing the relation is "vykati si".

The English "I am sorry" in .Czech means "Je mi lito". The Czech phrase is used in the same sense as the original meaning of "I am sorry," but generally, we can say that "Je mi lito" is used much more sparingly than "I am sorry". The latter can often be translated "odpust'te" or "prominte".

Jak se mate (maS)? — How are you?

Jak se yam (ti) (dail)? dekuji, dobiie — fine, thank you nestoji to za nic it's not worth it 'Spatne mizerne — bad — miserable "Jak se mate" or " j ak se 'na g" or "jak se yam (ti) (cloth)" is not quite as common a greeting as in English. In Czech, you ask it when you want to know haw your friend is doing and not instead of "good morning". In other words, in answer to "jak se m4C" in Czech, you may hear a little louger story than the stereotype "fine, thank you". The European people rio not share the American optimistic outlook and more often than not, you may hear an answer more in the form of a complaint. dobre chutnani — enjoy your meal It is very common to Iwish your guests "dobre ehutnini" as they are sitting down around a table and , ettier ready to eat. The same Neisli is sometimes used among the members of the family as the y start with .their meal. The literal translation is "good appetite". This wish is very cominOit On the Continent — in French, German, and practically any Continental language.

Future of eraternal Life bSUT7 (Editor's Note: We recently cable across this article by a Mr. Thos. R. Heaney on fraternal life insu r ance in the U.S. Although the article was written about twenty years ago, it nevertheless contains information that we in the SPJST should ponder).

Many changes have taken place in the world since John Jordan Upchurch, realizing the burning desire of men to form an organization having for its purpose the moral, social, intellectual and physical improvement of its members, and to provide a medium whereby they could have protection for their loved ones, organized the accredited first fraternal insurance lodge in the United States. He knew also that in this country, where men and women of all nations exercise freedom of thought, freedom of action, live under one flag as neighbors and as friends, the fraternal lodge would serve as a forum for free and open discussions of problems confronting them.

Pioneers Laid Foundation The pioneers, with little scientific knowledge o:f insurance, and less funds, laid the foundation with the utmost confidence that the idea would grow and prosper . But little did they dream, that from the humble beginning the fraternal life insurance system would strike such a popular chord in the hearts of men that it would spread into practically every village and hamlet, as is evidenced by the fact of the present two hundred and seven societies operatin g: in the United States and Canada, seventy-nine of them have now pa rsed the half century mark.

Surviving all the troubles of that time, including wars, diasters of fire, flood, and storms and economic depression, they have emerged in better financial condition, and constitute a much more stable system of insurance than that

We are all blind until we see That is the human plan Nothing is worth the making if It does not make the man.

Why build these cities glorious If man unbuilded goes?

In vain we build the work, unless The builder also grows, —Edwin Markham • Meek men grow up in libraries believing it their duty to accept the views which Bacon, Cicero, Locke, have given; forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men when they wrote those books.

—Ralph W. Emerson inaugurated by Upchurch and his associates.

The membership of our fraternal ininsurance orders indicates nearly seven million adults and over a million juveniles. According to the latest available statistics, their assets total over $1,500.000,000, and the insurance in force as represented by these societies is more than $7,000,060,000. From the beginning of fraternal insurance in the United States, the total benefits paid are in excess of $6,000,000,000.

Their years of successful operation have demonstrated that they fulfill a real need of our people, and have the esteem of the public who have joined in such large numbers. nt Al out Manag There is no secret about life insurance management. With a standard mortality table, careful underwriting, sound investments, and honest and efficient management, any group of men and women who are capable, experienced and honest may succeed in that field The fraternal societies have proved that they are operating upon proper insurance lines, and that the men and women making up their of-

ficial staff have shown the integrity and ability required for the handling of the great trust committed to them.

In 1886 a number of fraternal societies organized an association, and steps were taken to place the fraternal life insurance system under state supervision. Today there are in the National Fraternal Congress of America eighty-six legal reserve fraternal insurance societies, each one licensed in the state where they transact business, and subject to state supervision.

Each one is certified as solvent and its license renewed from year to year.

During the recent depression not one fraternal insurance organization affiliated with the National Fraternal -Congress of America 17TaS in financial difficulties. All paid their obligations when due, and today the system enjoys the fullest public confidence, and the unqualified endorsement of the insurance authorities of the nation.

Future Definitely Bright But the fraternal societies have gone far beyond the furnishing of protection for the homes o America. With approximately eight million members in the system, provision is being made for homes for aged and Orphans, for the relief of those in diStreSs, for emendowe:d ployment- bur ..ears s'-one hospital beds and ethic:Ali:nal funds, and at tremendous expenSe. These acts are recorded in the heart; of cur people, for members of the societies are ever mindful of their duty t'' visit the sick, and to offer aid to th P ir iiiereaved associates when death visits the home.

With the tremendous powe• and influence represented by it; far-flung membership; with a juvenile development which takes its pl • u among the outstanding achievements of our time; with its practical exemplification of the brotherhood of man, and with its recognized high standard in the field of insurance finance, the future of Fraternal Life Insurance System is definitely bright.

Brother Ed Mazanec asked for more support of the Choral Club. He also suggested that a list be kept of the members who come out and work at the hall making repairs, cleaning, and other work around the hall. He said this would be a token of appreciation for the time and energy they put forth without pay. Brother Roman Parma will keep such a list and report to the members at our meetings.

ORGANIZERS' ACTIVITIES IN

APP-A-WEEK

DISTRICT FIVE

Weeks Lillian Kruse 4 Volume and membership production by organizers during the first two months of 1964 is as follows: JANUARY Members Volume Frank Beran 3 4,000 John Blinka 1 2,000 Albert Bristik 1 1,000 Bessie Franek 4 5,000 Louise Kadlecek 1 1,000 Leroy Kamas 1 5,000 Lillian Kruse 7 27,000 Arthur Lostak 1 1,000 Evelyn Mikeska 11 17,000 Frances Olexa 1,000 1 Jerry Prochazka 5,000 1 2 Rudy Sefcik 2,000 J. M. Skrabanek 22,000 3

For the first time organizers in our district are faced with a quota of more than ONE MILLION DOLLARS. All members in our district who have a feeling of interest in organizational activities may be assured that any encouragement we can get will be most appreciated. Another thing, we are striving to help the Supreme Lodge put into force TWO MILLION DOLLARS of new coverage by the time the Waco convention convenes. The 5th district is privileged to shoulder the burden of writing 35.3 per cent of that quota. In order to encourage unusual effort by all SPJST organizers the Supreme Lodge has authorized an expense paid trip to the convention for the organizer in each district who produces the greatest volume of life insurance coverage by June 5th.

The App-a-Month Club of the SPJST was initiated in 1962 to encourage organizers to devote consistent attention to their activities. That program has turned out so well that another ladder, one for the achievement of an Appa-Week, was adopted effective February 1st. The purpose behind this latest development is tied to the principle that everyone becomes what he thinks about the most. It is felt that when an organizer is encouraged to stay on the App-a-Week ladder it will tend to the development of a professional type of consistency and a better understanding of the complexity of our ever-increasing variety of plans of protection.

132,500 37 A study of the foregoing with a thought to the past brings to realization a very revealing feature of progress in our activities. The foregoing As of the last of February, these are is worth going over again, but before the occupants of the two consistency we go over it again, let us take anothladders: er look even farther back. Let us look back three years ago to 1961. That was APP-A-MONTH when we first wrote more than ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Our esteemed DisMonths trict Director, Brother J. M. Skrabanek 26 J. M. Skrabanek wrote $788,000 of the total $1,244,500 14 Lillian Kruse we produced. Think about that, and 14 A. J. Lostak then look at it from the standpoint of 14 Frances Olexa how fraught with possibilities that can Bessie Franek be. Such a record production makes 6 Frank H. Beran quotas go up and up. Yet only one 2 Leroy Kamas organizer, a truly marvelous producer, 2 Evelyn Mikeska, came up with 63.3 per cent of that total. Your District Organizer at that 2 Jerry Prochazka time experienced an emotion somewhat 1 Herman Baethe similar to growing up again as a child Earl E. Cameron 1 and being dependent on his father for Alvin Tvrelnar 1 his well-being. What chance would we 1 Joseph Perricone have had of continuing successes if

Brother Skrabanek had not been able to continue doing so well? Fortunately, he continued to do very well indeed . He came in with two million dollars in 1961, 1962, and 1963.

Now, however we can look back at three years of work and preparation for growth with the feeling that a great deal has been accomplished. For instance, suppose we take the $47,000, which Brother Skrabanek has produced during January and February in his usual capable fashion, from the total of $234,500 for those two months.

Then we extend the remaining $187,500 to an annualized figure to find that the amount produced would equal our 1964 quota. In that way, if we can all keep on going as strongly during the next ten months as we have started during the past two months, we will have finally reached the goal we have been trying for. We should always do so well that we do not have to count on any one organizer's effectiveness to do the job that has been assigned to us.

I feel the greatest pleasure imaginable in finding that I now have the opportunity to congratulate you all, ORGANIZERS OF THE 5th DISTRICT, for having reached the stage in your development where you can now do the big job expected of you.by depending on yourselves instead of someone else.

Fraternally, Jarda Cerny, District Organizer -SPJSTSPJST LODGE NO. 85 GLEE CLUB,

and Gardens

By OTTO HANES At this time of the year when we start setting out different kinds of plants, we usually run into trouble due to the cut worm, which is the young caterpillar of a night-flying moth.

The moth lays its eggs upon plants and other objects; in some cases directly on the ground and these eggs hatch out cut worms. There are several kinds of these pests but the most common is stout, soft-bodied, cylindrical in shape, varying in color from ashy gray to dark brown, or black and sometimes spotted or striped back.

Most of these pests winter in the ground and start their deadly work in early spring. Vegetable crops are not the only plants that are attacked; these pests also attack ornamental plants, flower and field crops and damage them severely. These pests usually work at night but I have seen them come out on dark cloudy days and start their deadly work. Usually when you find a plant cut of f during the night all you bave to do is scratch in the soil near the stump and you will find the fat rascal well fed and lazy, and you can dispose of him in a hurry.

Cut worms are easily disposed of, either by using a commercial bait that you can find in nearly all super markets, drug stores, and all garden stores at a reasonable price, or you can mix your own. Take 5 lbs of bran, or finely sifted peat moss, 1/4 lb. white arsenic and thoroughly mix these dry ingredients together so , that a little of

Wednesday, March 25, 1964 the arsenic gets on every particle of the bran. Then add a cupful of molasses to three quarts of water and gradually add to the dry ingredients. Start stirring the mess until you have a thick mash. Add the liquid slowly so as to not wash the arsenic off the bran. Stir slowly and evenly until every part of the dry bran has been saturated. If you do not have arsenic Paris Green can be used with equal success. This can be done in an old clean bucket or can or if larger quantities are mixed, an old tub will do as well. As a rule five pounds is sufficient for the average garden, The best way is to broadcast this preparation over the area where you want to set out your plants, being careful that this is not applied in lumps where pets might get hold of it, since either of the above is a stomach poison and would kill your pets if eaten in sufficient quantities.If you discover these pests after your planting, it is best to apply the mash around the plants just before dark since they feed at night. The molasses in the mixture ,draws them and it is most effective. It may require two or three applications to get rid of a bad infestation.

Sometimes, to be doubly sure, it is best to put a metal collar around the newly set out plants, such as a coffee can with both top and bottom cut out, or you can purchase ready-made worm protecting collars in nearly every garden store, and dropping a little of the poisoned bait inside the collar is cheap insurance. Many of you will start out with plants that usually cost from a dime up, so it pays to be safe from these pests.

In our garden we use both collars and poisoned bait, and we rarely lose a plant of any kind to cut worms. This type of bait also controls sow bugs which can suck the life out of plants very quickly. They also feed at night.

This is a small blue-grey-fuzzy-like bug which can be found under most anything in large quantities. A board or box on the ground is an ideal breeding place for these pests. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Dear Editor: Replying to your question about cottonseed meal on your lawn: I have never used it that way but it has a high nitrogen content and should work perfectly, since this is an organic type of nourishment .

Flower seeds lose much of their vitality when stored under household conditions, and are generally no saving when held from one year to the next, according to U. S. Department of Agriculture plant specialists. They suggest that new seeds be purchased not too long before planting time. Allow no more than a three-month holding period, they say.

EFFICIENT SHOPPING IS MORE EXPENSIVE

--SPJSTCar inspection deadline: April 15th.

U. S. housewives spend an average of 29 minutes in the supermarket each week and buy more than their husbands would in the same time.

That is one of the conclusions reached in a survey of 600 shoppers made by Progressive Grocers, a supermarket publication for food retailers.

And husbands who complain about "impulse buying" take note: the survey shows that the housewife who shops with a list spends six minutes and $2.22 more than her neighbor who shops without a list!

• • CONVENIENCE FOODS SAVE HOMEMAKERS MONEY

For The Housewife FRESH PRODUCE COSTS ADVANCE

Some fresh produce will cost more this week following colder weather in many growing areas.

Fresh growing vegetables in best supply, reports Mrs.Gwen,dolyne Clyatt.

Extension Service consumer marketing specialist, are carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, dry onions, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and rutabagas.

Available at moderate price levels are cooking greens such as collards, mustards, spinach, turnips and turnip 'greens. Quality is generally good on salad greens, but prices vary as one considers endive, escarole, leaf and head lettuce.

Best buys at fresh fruit counters include medium size oranges, bananas and apples.

Chicken hens and turkeys are poultry economy items.

Most cuts of fresh pork are good value as supplies continue heavy. Look for pork loin and shoulder roasts, chops and sausage for good values. The beef counter will reveal good buys in steaks, chuck and rib roasts. Lamb is not esp-

Many convenience foods can actually save the homemaker money as well as time, Extension specialists say.

In a recent study, the U . S. Department of Agriculture compared cost of 158 items with the cost of equal amounts of homemade or fresh counterparts. Figuring price alone, 48 convenience items actually were less expensive.

And if reasonable value was placed onthe homemaker's time, many other convenience foods would have a lower cost than fresh or homemade items, Extension Service specialists point out.

Other factors to consider are the savings in work and utensils needed, and less waste in preparation. Packages for convenience foods are designed to keep the contents fresh and convenient for storage. Modern processing methods make it possible to retain top nutritional values, and many processed foods also are fortified with necessar y vitamins.

Some of the ingredients used in packaged foods are not even available on the market. Examples of these items are made-to-order cheeses used in specialty packages, says Extension food and nutrition specialists.

Best buys in convenience foods probably are frozen orange concentrate and instant coffee , Orange juice prepared at home from fresh oranges costs about twice as much as juice prepared

from frozen concentrate, according to Gordon R. Powell, Extension fruit and vegetable marketing specialist.

Convenience foods that add to the cost of a meal are fresh, ready-toserve rolls, frozen chicken and turkey dinners, frozen broccoli, and pre-cooked rice.

Shoppers buy convenience foods not only for what they cost, but also for what they do for them. The foods can be bought in combinations and amounts that actually decrease total food costs.

—A.&M. Extension Service -SPJSTAPRIL BRINGS SHOWER OF PLENTIFUL FOODS

April brings a shower of foods, along with traditional rain showers, as seven foods are especially plentiful, reports the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Such items as beef, cottage cheese, eggs, rice, canned ripe olives, dried beans and canned corn are expected to be abundant, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service, the U. S. Department of Agriculture agency that compiles the monthly list of plentifuls.

Egg prices paid to farmers dropped more than 10 per cent between midJanuary and late February. April supplies are expected to be above those of a year ago, with prices below last year's attractive retail level. As of January 1, canned corn stocks were at a record high, and heavy supplies also should be much in evidence during April.

Substantial January-to-March increases in the number of fed beef cattle have resulted in a much larger meat supply.

Creamed cottage cheese production is expected to exceed last year's '787 million pound record . Dry bean production netted a record 12 per cent average. A record rice crop and the possibility of a record canned ripe olive supply make these big items for April.

Most of these foods are produced extensively in Texas, says the Service.

Foods listed as "plentiful" by AMS are expected to be more than adequate to meet normal trade needs.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S ROMANCE

By Jaroslav F. Chmelicek

Wednesday, March 25, 1964 at sometime or another in his fabulous career, they could each have married him. Schoolmates in Indiana, young women from New Salem, Illinois, society belles and farmers' daughters in Springfield, and if their stories were to be credited, Abe Lincoln was the courtingest swain of his time, and one who proposed to every woman he met.

Maybe he did. There is no way to prove it, one way or the other . There is also no way to prove the bittersweet story which has lived persistently in the hearts of the American people until it has become a part of the nation's folklore — Lincoln's idyllic romance with Ann Rutledge, reputed his first real love. Some claimed his only love.

It seems strange that despite the tremendous output of Lincolniana that has been given to literature, no adequate story has been given of one of the greatest loves in history.

Many writers have referred to it and to its moulding power on the lover's after life. Some have thrown sidelights on the character of the woman. Some have mentioned her rare gift of song and her unusual endowment of mind.

But despite all this it has, to my knowledge, never been woven into one story.

It was my intention in this play to tell the story of both the love and faith of one of earth's nobelest souls in a simple and intimate way. I trust that it shall be of more than usual interest and value.

Abe, just past his twenty-second birthday, came to New Salem in the spring of 1831 and here he stayed for six years.

He became a clerk in a store. When the Black Hawk War broke out in 1832, he was elected captain. Later he served as postmaster for a while in New Salem and also tended a mill and did some land surveying.

People looked at him as upon a clown with torn trousers and ragged coat.

When he opened his mouth to speak, the people's mind changed. The people had confidence in him and they elected him three times. Meanwhile he studied law. Life was not easy for him.

He was dogged by defeat, bounded by failure, stalked by tragedy.

One of the early settlers in the little village twenty miles from Springfield was James Rutledge. He was part owner of the grist mill, and he ran a tavern. The term tavern in those days was used indiscriminately for both hotels and boarding houses. The Rut-

FOR CHILDREN: Make the focal point of the photograph your child, not his costume. Dress the child in snug-fitting clothes, neatly pressed so they have a smooth line. Avoid ruffles, flounces or an abundance of jewelry.

Style the child's hair simply and avoid extremes like tight curls for little girls or plastered-down hair for little boys , Keep the child calm and keep calm yourself. Many photographers find small children act more natural if not told about the photography appointment until the big day arrives.

They also observe that the child is more cooperative if he is well rested and fed.

-SPJSTCOMMON COLD VIRUSES STILL PUZZLE

The common cold is the only disease with more cases than people; each of us average four or five a year. Colds cost the United States $3,000,000,000, a year in lost wages, lost production and medical expense.

A cold's sniffling, wheezing and aching discomfort carry no price tag, but most of us would give a great deal to be able to avoid them, along with nose drops, sprays, cough syrups, laxatives, hot lemonade, yogi, faith healing, red underwear — name your remedy.

Can science prevent colds?

At mid-century, scientists had split the common cold into three neat categories: Mild, marked by runny noses and watery eyes; more severe, with sore throat, headache and general weakness added and, finally, virus

26

VESTNfK

pneumonia, reaching into the lungs.

Find the virus responsible for each category, scientists reasoned. Then make a vaccine that acts against each, and there will be no more colds.

It hasn't been that simple.

In 1953 the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Disease at Bethesda, Md., isolated the first cold virus.

Big headlines shouted the story of one of biology's mites. A virus is a parasite smaller than a bacteria. It fastens to living cells, injures and destroys them as it multiplies — and your cold gets worse.

A year later another laboratory isolated another cold virus. In the years since, dozens of different ones have been cataloged.

"Today the difficulty is not discovering viruses," says Dr. Robert J. Heubner, whose laboratory found the first, "but of discovering their role in producing disease.

"It turns out they are incredibly prevalent and numerous, not only in man but in all living things. Most viruses don't produce clinical illness.

Like the iceberg, most of their activity is hidden."

At last count there were not three, but at least 57 — and perhaps as many as 140 — varieties of the common cold.

The problem of a vaccine turned out to be extremely complex.

Yet there has been considerable progress. An estimated 50 per cent of children's col6s, and 25 per cent of adult colds, can be blamed on specific viruses. Now scientists must develop vaccines.

First, cold viruses must be identified and studied as carefully as polio and flu viruses were studied to make those vaccines. But since there are so many cold viruses, vaccines for them can't be jammed into a single dosage without making it unreasonably large.

Dr. Heubner believes the first effective vaccine will be for children, who suffer most from colds.

-SPJST"THE GREATEST THING ON

WHEELS" Back in 1901, Uriah Smith of Battle Creek, Michigan, designed a woodenwheeled automobile with a fake horse front, so as not to frighten old Dobbin in heavy traffic. It didn't fool many horses, however, and a number of communities continued to rule that if a horse refused to pass an auto, the driver must "take the machine apart . and conceal the parts in the grass."

But, no frightened horse could hold back progress for long — and that same year the first speed law for automobiles was passed by the General Assembly of Connecticut. It restricted cars to 8 mph within the city limits, 12 in the country. Four years later, the first car was reported stolen in St. Louis — and the first automobile was bought on the installment plan.

America had entered the automotive age.

- In the beginning, automobiles were little more than motorized buggies.

Their lights were kerosene lamps, tires were a rope or solid rubber and fenders were usually considered extras.

The bodies were so designed that the 'engine could be placed either under the carriage or directly behind the driver's seat. A number of those early models were powered by electric motors or steam engines. (Thomas A. Edison was one of those who thought the electric car would last mainly because women could operate them.) The winner, however, was the gasoline-burning Model-T, Ford's "universal car," which appeared in 1907.

Way back then, a driver was hard put to find a garage. Finally, it fell to the bicycle repairman to stock gasoline, which was a handy arrangement, since the car was often there for tire trouble. Ever since the first pneumatic tire, the task of keeping the air inside has been exacting and perpetual.

At first, tires had to be repaired without removing the rims from the car, for they were built integral with the wheels. Even in 1912, it could take a half-hour's work with a sledge hammer to loosen the bead sufficiently to insert the tire iron under it. With luck, the whole change could be accomplished in slightly less than an hour. (Of course, the time required to pump it up was extra).

During those early years, a simple drive in the country meant carrying along three spare tires, just in case.

And it was several years before any tire had even a 3,000 mile life-expectancy.

Through the years, emphasis on appearance, comfort, speed and power caused continuous change in the look of the automobile. Generally, the driver's seat switched from right to left, the wheel replaced the steering lever, the dashboard became higher, and the running board was absorbed into the .1 body, In 1912, Charles Kettering put women in the driver's seat. He sold his

Wednesday, March 25, 1964 electric self-starter to Cadillac, thus eliminating the burdensome manual crank. From this point on — perhaps by feminine request — cars came to 'market fully equipped. The rumble seat appeared in 1917, balloon tires, 'hydraulic brakes, and shatterproof windshields in the 20's. The gearshift moved to the steering post in 1934 — then came automatic transmission and fluid drive.

World War II stopped automobile production until 1945. In the next ten years auto registration more than doubled, from 25 million to 52 million.

Major developments were power-steering to make driving and parking much easier, and tubeless tires for safer driving . In fact, the introduction of rayon tire cord increased the life of a tire so much that driving for over 20,000 miles before getting a flat is not uncommon today.

The improvements in the late 50's and early 60's were not radical. Most emphasis was on safety. Electric powered windshield wipers did not depend on the engine to operate, seat belts were provided with many cars, larger windshields and rear windows offered maximum visibility and Tyrex rayon cord tires became standard equipment on virtually all new cars coming out of Detroit. In fact, these tires have been original equipment on all new model cars since 1959 — 37 million in all.

At this point, the danger of blowouts and punctures have so greatly been reduced that the worst thing likely to happen is simply a slow leak— provided the proper maintenance has been observed.

The family car has developed so much in the 60 years since Barnum and Bailey advertised a horseless carriage as the "strangest attraction" in their circus, you can hardly believe they were actually showing off "the greatest thing on wheels."

BEWARE: INVISIBLE DOORS! People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

And they also should be aware it's necessary to slide open the glass door before walking briskly through it to the patio.

An estimated 40 thousand persons each year try to walk through glass doors, glass walls and picture windows.

There are many more actually, but at least this number is injured so severely that they show up in accident records.

Almost six thousand wind up in the

Wednesday, March 25, 1964 hospital and some even die from severe cuts and loss of blood.

The problem of glass door accidents has become so widespread in this era of extensively used glass in new buildings and homes that many localities have adopted building codes requiring that safety glass be used.

Interestingly enough, over two-thirds of the glass door injuries occur to males. And children 5 to 14 years account for one-third of all injuries.

Analysis of glass door injuries show that over three-fourths of the injuries occur in the home — about three-fourths when the victim is passing from inside to outside.

Hurrying is the major cause, much more so than slipping, crowding or horseplay.

This doesn't mean that you should promptly brick up your sliding glass patio doors and picture windows. It does mean that some precautions are in order to avoid injury to yourself, your family or a guest, Many newer homes have safety glass panels, and these won't shatter.

Safety glass can raise a bump, but it won't shatter and cut.

Check your glass doors, and if you don't have safety glass, the first step is to call a family conference, with everyone present. The head of the household can brief the family on the dangers of severe injury from shattered glass.

Another safeguard is to attach decals or bright tape to the glass at eye level — eye levels for both small children and adults. For added safety, you might install a safety bar or two.

Glass door injuries are almost entirely preventable, except in the rare instances of a stumbling fall. If you do live in an at least partially glass house, take the simple safety precautions to protect your family from severe, and perhaps fatal, injury.

—Texas Dept, of Health -SPJSTHIGHWAY ENGINEERS TRY TG DESIGN SAFE HIGHWAYS Texas Highway Department engineers try to design accident-proof highways but, failing in this, they do the next best thing. They design for "safe accidents " So said State Highway Engineer D. C. Greer recently in an address to the Waco Rotary Club. The top highway administrator said Highway Department engineers design many littleknown safeguards into modern high-

VESTNfK ways to help prevent accidents. And even when, accidents occur through driving error, lives are often saved through the foresight of engineers designing for "softer accidents," Greer said "We try to keep a minimum number of objects above the surface of the ground along our travelways, and we try to keep potential obstructions as far as possible from the traffic lanes when we must erect them," Greer pointed out.

Moreover, Greer said: "We try to place the sign posts as far from travelways as possible and whenever possible our sign posts are of small metal channels designed to bend when struck by a vehicle."

Many safety improvements along Texas highways are never noticed by the average driver. An example is the fact that the Highway Department during the past year has been modifying highway designs and stripings for better visibility by drivers who now sit as much as a foot lower in modern autos than they did a few years agG, Greer said the THD spends about $1,000,000 a day "to serve the more than 5,000,000 motor vehicles registered in this state." Texans and visitors drive more than 50 billion miles a year within the 65,000-mile Texas highway network, he said.

"This traffic movement is increasing at the rate of approximately 5 per cent a year and engineers must look and think ahead to be able to cope not only with the present traffic problems but the traffic problems that will surely come in the years ahead," Greer said.

The Highway Department is attempting to keep pace with the transition of our population to urban areas by providing urban thoroughfares adequate to accommodate the urban traffic movement . At the same time, the Department must keep in mind the fact that all urban dwellers do not stay totally within the limits of the city, and that the economic welfare of the urban community is dependent upon the transportation facilities available into its trade territory, too.

This means that an urban area must not only have its urban thoroughfares, but it must have its U.S`. highways, its state ,highways, and its farm and ranch market roads in order to collect and distribute the traffic coming to and from the urban area.

Greer praised the "sound laws" by

27 which Texas has attained a "highway system second to none in the nation."

He warned laymen to be alert against any change in highway legislation which could "cripple highway development in this state."

Thomas Jefferson Elected President February 17, 1801, 163 years ago, Thomas Jefferson was elected President of the United States under unusual circumstances Jefferson. and Aaron Burr each had received 73 electorial votes. According to the Constitution, if two candidates had the same number of electorial votes, the House of Representatives had to choose between them. As Jefferson and Burr were of the same political party, the choice was not easy and exciting scenes took place in Congress. Several members, too ill to appear under normal circumstances, were brought to the House on beds or litters. Balloting continued for several days. In the end, Alexander Hamilton, although long a political foe, threw his influence to Jefferson and the latter was elected the third President of the United States. He was the first President to be inaugurated in Washington.

Society of the Burning Bush: Not all Texas ghost towns are ancient, and the bustling one that straddled the Smith - Cherokee county line in Eastfexas died less than 50 years ago.

It was Burning Bush, founded in 1908 when dissident members of the Methodist Church established new religious sects in Louisiana, Virginia, West Virginia and Texas. The Texas settlement was named for the parent organization, the Society of the Burning Bush, and residents were required to turn over all of their possessions to the community storehouse. By 1916, the colony had more than 400 residents, but went into a decline shortly after.

Today there are almost no traces of the town left.
