III. K veeeru se Cimbura vratil, a.c jeAte nebyl eas krmit kone.

"Ty jsi az tu?" podivil se Kovanda.

"Ano, myslil jsem, mate-li hosty a kdybyste je chtel nechat odvezt, abyste nemusil pro mne vzkazovat " "A jak se ti libilo?"

"Libilo se mi dobre."

"A tancoval jsi?"

"Netancoval," priznal se Cimbura a zardel se. Sedel tam se starAimi podhruy a eelediny — a vskutku, citil ye ye vSech Mach i v celem tele, jak se mu tam muzika ozYva. I nohou pod stolem si poklepaval. ZdrZovala ho jen to vrozena ostYchavost. Vskutku samotaril a prichazelo mu vklycky za teZko jiti nekam, kde jeAte nebyl — mluviti s nekym, koho neznal, navazati styk s cizim elovekem. Uz jako male dire time trpel.

Ty jsi nevleza," fikavala mu hatka, kdyZ prosil, aby ho neposilala tam, kde ho neznali. Tuto ostYchavost nesetrela s neho ani vojna.

A tak i dnes o posviceni poslouchal muziku i pisnieky, hledel na toeici se parky, pri treti sklenici piva uZuZ se zvedal, ze prtide take k muzikantum — hodi jim stribrny dvacetnik a zatancuje si — udela to napadne, az budou vAlchni v kole — aby si ho nev gimli — myslil na to, ale mluvii klidnel a vaZne dal za stolem jako usedlY elovek o hospodarstvi, o vojne, o Uhrach, o Italii - o Radeckent -- a kdy2 vstal a uZ se k hudebniktim — ne — nenaohl se oclhodlati, vyAel ze dveri a gel

"A co to za pacholka," horlili vAichni "kdyZ mezi nas ne j de a s nami nedrZi. Nafukuje se a pohrda nami."

"Francek tam byl taky Pepik taky a ja taky."

"Nestrpime ho."

"Vyvedeme mu nee° — " KdyZ Cimbura krmil k yeeeru doma kone, potkala ho na d yore Marjanka. Nesel kaA sena a ona Ala do chleva dojit. SlouZila u'i dele u Kovandi' a bylo ji v to dhvili Cimbury lito.

"PfljdeA navbeer zase k muzice?" optala se ho.

"Prijdu, budu-li chtiti, co bych neg el," rekl Cimbura a sam, se podivil tvrdosti sveho hlasu i nahlosti rozhodnuti.

"A nechod'! viA, chlapci se na tebe stroji" — rekla a Ala dale.

Cimbura vlastne uz nechmtel dnes do hospody vkroeit. Hlava ho pobolivala z koure a piva. — Ale -fed' citil, jasne citil, ze jiti musi, ztratiti va2nost 'nazi chasou a ptlatiti za straSpytla, za bazlivce, kteremu by se po vsi small a kterYm by pohrdali "Co by mi mobil udelat?" pohodil hlavou a po veeeri se znovu oblekl. S jakousi hrdosti skoro vyzyvave otevrel v hospode dvere a veAel. Jaky to statnY hock! Primo vzor jihoeeskeho eloveka. Telo stredni postavy, soumerne a krasne — zrovna idealne rostle.

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897 Postmaster: Please Send Form 3 . 5'79 With Hue.

REVIEWING CONVENTION H111(31!

The ,XIX General Convention of the SPJST is now a thing of the past, and remains only to he properly recorded and noted in the pages of our Order's history. It was, on the whole, a good, fruitful convention. Much was accomplished; other matters were left for future conventions to dispose of, as the circumstances of that time will dictate.

Two issues back, we listed the highlights of the convention in an attempt to inform the membership of the most important happenings at the convention. There is not much use delving into these items in great detail here, since the official transcripts of the pro,. ceedings will soon be published, both in the Vestnik and in booklet form. This bit of information is of importance to our Czech-reading membership: The Czech translation of the convention minutes- will appear ONLY ONCE IN THE VESINIK, In other words, only the English version of the convention proceedings will appear in published brochure form. The by-laws will appear in booklet form in both Czech and English, as they have in the past.

Bro. Frank Steiner is working on the translation of the minutes, and has informed us that they will soon be forthcoming).

Here then, are capsule versions of the convention highlights, with abbreviated details: All of the six administrative officers of the Supreme Lodge were re-elected to four-year terms.

Three had opposition: Brothers Marek (opposed by Bro, Rudy Sefcik); Hejny (opposed by Bro. Melvin Skrabanek), and Koliha, (opposed by Bro, Alvin Nesuda).

Bro. Cyril' (Sid) Pokladnik was elected director for District III, to replace Bro. Robert Cervenka, who has

Directors aro, elected by the delegates from. that particular district in a closed caucus of the delegates. The other five directors were reelected to four-year terms. Bro; Pokladnik is from Dallas (Lodge No. 84) and ETO. Hanka is from Houston (Lodge No, 88).'

Regarding youth activities: Sister Lillian Kruse of Houston, member of the Youth Committee, proposed, in behalf of the committee, that the Order set aside a sum of $250,000, and the interest earned from this amount be earmarked`for youth activities throughout the seven districts for the next four years. This interest earned would be an amount, less administrative costs. It was agreed that this $250,000 was not to be a trust fund, that the sum was not committed for this purpose beyond the next four years, and that the 1968 convention would exercise full control over this figure.

The State Youth Director, would, with the cooperation and in line with the recommendations of the Youth Committee, work out a plan of equitable distribution of these funds, based on a points and merit system which would give every child in the SPJST a chance to enjoy the benefits of the expanded youth program. Youth camps would be visited, and other activities would be planned. Thus, the big question of a single youth camp, or youth camps, was indirectly included, since visiting such installations is expected to be a part of our expanded youth program.

After first recommending a refund to lodges in the amount of 3 per cent, the by-law committee later amended its recommendation to 4 percent. After some del)-.te on the measure, Bro. Frank 0 1 .o1 of Houston moved that the re: • t onl 1- raised to 6 per cent, and after getting a goOd deal of support for this figure, the measure passed handily. The thinking on this item was

After much discussion pro and con, various people presenting their side of the picture, and the matter being postponed a time or two, it was finally proposed and approved that District Organizers be retained, with a graduated percentage scale of overriding commissions for increased production in their district.

• • A new and very important 3-man committee, appointed by the Convention .Chairman to serve through the next convention, was designated as the Management and Operations Analysis ComMittee. This committee was proposed by Bro. Frank Olexa of Houston, and it will " . . . examine and make recommendations at the 1968 convention oh how to streamline our convention proceedings and the procedures of our entire Order." One of the very important items that this committee will study will be to examine and make recommendations on a possible new -Supreme Lodge office building. The three members of this committee are Melvin Skrabanek, G. Louis Kudrna, and Frank J. Olexa, of Lodges 17, 25, and 88, respectively. There is no doubt that some of our procedures are timeconsuming and therefore very costly, so that any economy that can be practiced in this respect will be welcomed.

• • As already stated , the State Youth Director, a post recommended by the Youth Committee and approved by the delegate, will assume office November 1st, so that she (or he) may have sonic time to acquaint herself with the new duties and have things fairly well lined tp by January lst of 1965. The creation of this position should relieve Bro. Heiny of many details and he may devote his full talents to organiza tional work. The State Youth Director will be appointed b y the Supreme Lodge prior to. November 1st, and presumably all who might be interested in the position will have an opportunity to apply to that body. The next quarterly meeting of the Supreme Lodge will be held on July 9th, and some information might be 'forthcoming shortly after that session. Increased and expanded activities should take place now on both fronts — insurance sales and youth activities.

(Continued Next Week) --SPJSTAs we go to Press, we have received

several complaints that last week's Vestnik was not delivered to certain areas. Dallas and parts of West Texas were affected. We printed the Vestnik, as usual, on Tuesday and dispatched it immeliatelv, as usual. After some checking, we learned that the PO Department switched from train mail service to truck mail service out of West just last week. How this may

have affected the delivery of the Vestnik is not yet clear. We repeat that when your Vestnik does not arrive on time, check with your local postmaster. There is really very little that we here in - West can do. — Editor.

ADDRESS DELIVERED '10 SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER. OF THE STATE OF TEXAS ON JUNE 17. 1964

BY J. N. NUTT, STATE. INSURANCE COMMISSION Mr. Morris, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: Mrs. Nutt I want to thank you for inviting us to participate in this Nineteenth Convention. I was pleased when President Marek and Secretary Urbanovsky invited me to address you on this occasion. I have always had a very warm spot in my heart for the SPJST, for it was in the early '40s that I made an examination of your Order.

At that time you had approximately 18,000 certificates and $4,000,000 in assets, as compared with 34,000 certificates today and $13,000,000 in assets.

In my experience as an examiner of 17 years, no assignment was more pleasant, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing in evidence the true spirit of fraternalism.

I am reminded at this point of the two church members discussing their new preacher. One asked the other how he liked the sermon, and the other replied that he didn't like it. "Why didn't you like it?" the first one asked, and the other replied. "Well, in the first place he read his sermon — in the second place he didn't read it well, and in the third place it wasn't worth reading."

Since Mr. Urbanovsky requested that I be brief and confine my remarks mainly to fraternalism, I thought you

V ESTNIK would be interested in a resume of the fraternal movement gathered from the files of the State Beard of Insurance. Obviously, the fraternal benefit system is an active and important segment of the economy of Texas, and the Texas fraternal benefit societies have every reason to be proud that the people of Texas have entrusted to them, a very substantial segment of their insurance coverage.

The Slavonic Benevolent Order is one of ten domestic fraternals licensed in Texas at this time. Your remarkable progress and growth, in a period when failures were commonplace, is commendable.

It was not until 1899 that Texas had any laws on the subject of fraternal insurance. It was possible to incorporate an organization for benevolent purposes prior to that time, and the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas did receive its original charter two years before it was required to make reports to the Department of Insurance. There were a number of other fraternal orders that were active, but were not thought of as insurance Companies, and even today fraternal societies are not classified as insurance companies so long as their insurance features are subordinate and incidential to their benevolent features .

I would like to read what we consider to be the first examination report of your Order, dated June 22, 1909.

Department of INSURANCE AND BANKING State of Texas Austin Fayetteville, Texas June 22nd, 1909 Hon. Thomas B. Love, Commissioner, Insurance and Banking, Austin, Texas Dir Sir: I have this day made an examination of the condition, affairs, character and business methods, accounts and books of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of Fayetteville, and respectfully submit the following report: Net ledger assets January 1st, 1909, $68,178.31. Receipts from January 1st to April 1st, 1909, Mortuary fund $11,702.35, Expense fund $779.20. Total receipts $12,481.55.

To Joseph S. Myers, Examiner -Dr. $5.00 For per diem, one day Railroad fare La Grange to .80 Fayetteville and return 2.00 Hotel $7.80 Received payment, Joseph S. Myers, Examiner In 1879, which was 20 years prior to the enactment of the first fraternal statute, and 18 years before the SPJST was incorporated, the Commissioner of Insurance noted that some purely commercial insurance compa-

14 vies were parading under the fraternal banner; and we made the following report to the Governor: "These societies are organized for the alleged mutual benefit of their members who, upon admission, pay an initiation fee that is assessed according to the value of the certificate issued, and they usually give, moreover, their deposit note in an amount that bears a uniform ratio to the age of the member; they also pay annually thereafter a stipulated fee that is guaranteed by the amount of the cer7 tificate held, together with certain other incidental fees and assessments for death claims held by the heirs of deceased co-members. The candidate for membership, like an applicant for a life policy, is required to file an elaborate application, in which he answers a long series of interrogatories propounded to him, all relating to his age, health, conduct, habits, occupation, and antecedents, as well as to those of his family, and generally, to everything touching his physical soundness and prospects for longevity.

The statements made in this application form the basis of his contract with the society, and is liable to annullment for any variance from facts.

"The candidate is also required to have successfully passed the scrutiny of the society's examining physician.

For and in consideration of the several amounts paid as above, and in view of the qualifications duly ascertained, the society covenants with the member to pay a stipulated sum of money, upon proof of his death, to his executors or assigns. These are the salient features of the societies in question, and seem to disclose, even upon their surface, all the purposes, objects, and formalities of a true life insurance company, notwithstanding the ingenious terminology employed by them in drafting their charters and in drawing tip (heir forms and contracts.

"In this apparent disguise of words there seems to lurk a purpose to evade the law; a simple change of nomenclature, without at all modifying the operations of the society, instantly transmutes into a genuine life insurance company.

"The aid or relief society is then found to be an insurance society, the certificate or membership becomes a policy, the member a policyhohler, the annual fee a premium, the deposit not a premium note, and an inspection of the certificate of membership will disclose nothing more nor less than 'a contract for the payment of a certain

Convention Coronation Banquet. First runner-up was Dianna Matejka of Lodge 39, Bryan (District I). sum of money on a person's death,' which is the accepted definition of a policy of life insurance."

A few years later, in about the year 1891, the Texas Insurance Commissioner challenged the right of a society to operate as a mutual relief association, saying that the laws of Texas made no provisions for the operation of such companies and pointing out the only possible statute under which the challenged society might operate. This statute provided for the incorporation of companies for "the support of any benevolent, charitable, educational, or missionary undertaking."

This same year the Commissioner called attention to certain Massachusetts companies which were soliciting membership as fraternal organizations.

These were called assessment endowment corporations. They actually were fraternal in name only, as their plan of operation had results similar to those flowing from a chain letter lot-

tery. That is to say, the first few members in the society received their endowment payments and made a profit, and the society then collapsed. The ones who did not get in on the ground floor merely paid their assessments and received nothing in return. Every one of these Massachusetts companies failed within five years from the date of organization. In 1893 the Massachusetts Commissioner, reporting on the activities of these assessment endowment corporations, made the following statement: "With the passage of the act to wind up the affairs of the remaining Massachusetts endowment orders, the 'last official chapter in this extraordinary craze will be written, and it only remains for the receivers to be selected and for these officers, with those pre viously appointed by decree of the courts , to close up the accounts and distribute the remaining assets. The compilations of their conditions disappear from the insurance report, and

During their brief existence, the 56 Masiiiachusett8- corporations of this class gathered a membership of 264,00 and collected from the certificate-holders over $12,500,000."

The Texas CornmisFioner, realizing that some of the Ma . ,•aehusetts concerns might extend their activities into- Texas , put out the following warning: "I would ad,inonish the people to be exceedingly careful of any new order seeking to enter Texas under fraternal colors. The endowment concerns having collapsed in Massachusetts, the orp:anizer who have been fleecing the people up there will seek other fields to conquer, and doubtless some of them will land among— the innocent in Texas and induce them to part with their dollars before the Commissioner

can he informed, for they are the slickest and most plausible set of rascals that ever invaded any country.

"You' should hesitate before investing in fraternal insurance, because it is the least desirable of any, and then when it is offered in the shape of an endowment certificate, shun it as you would a rattlesnake."

A number of bona fide fraternal societies, including the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, continued to grow during this period.

We are still talking about a time prior to the first fraternal law which was passed in 1899. Therefore, any legally operating fraternal society would have then been classified as a charitable or benevolent institution. No one, today or back in those da ys, made any argument against genuine fraternal orders.

However, the danger which the Insurance Commissioner sensed arose

15 out of the activities of commercial companies disguised as fraternal orders. His 1894 report contains this statement with respect to sc.ch companies: "There are so many fraternal orders entering this State all claiming to be benevolent that for the safety and protection of the members, I think it would be wise to put them under State supervision, and require them to file with the Insurance Department annual statements, showing their financial condition. . . . Some of the orders have the appearance of doing business upon the lodge system, to avoid, a:; far as possible , the scrutiny of State supervision, and I fear that their claims to pure benevolence rest upon a very weak foundation ... " Finally, in the year 1899, the Texas Legislature did pass the first statutes which subjected fraternal benefit societies to the supervision of the State Department of Insurance. This Act became effective on May 12, 1899, and by the end of that year, a number of companies had been authorized to do business in Texas as fraternal beneficiary associations. Only twelve of these originally-licensed companies were domiciled in Texas. The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas appeared on the records of the Department of Insurance for the first time in the report of 1900.

The new law of 1899 established few regulations for fraternal benefit societies. In fact, it might be questioned whether the law had any greal er effect than to require the fraterna society to report to the Commissioner of Insurance. In certain respects, tic law of 1899 was worse than no law at all, since fraternal promotions were now given the appearance of governmental regulation even though no real safeguards had been set up by the statute.

The 1899 law seemed to serve to stimulate the formation of these companies on a promotional basis, and within a year's time, two of these new companies had already failed financially. The Commissioner of Insurance, in 190Q, wrote this statement about them: "The failure of these societies was due to a cause that leads to certain ruin if persisted in by fraternal organizations — that is, in not collecting a sufficient amount to meet the losses, and it clearly demonstrates the folly of their undertaking to pay out more money than they receive."

The Commissioner repeated his criticism in the year 1904, with the fol-

16 lowing statement: "No other phase of the insurance situation in this State demands mare thoughtful and serious consideration than the organizations known as fraternal beneficiary orders or societies.

"The insurance which, when its promises become matured obligations, meets them promptly, is the only insurance worthy of partronage; and because issued in the name of fraternity is no reason why it should not be equally valuable with any other class of insurance. The fraternal orders are here to stay, and I am sure that no one wishes them a more hearty God speed than I. Their beneficence has been great and widespread; they have brought relief and light to many darkened homes, and have assisted in rearing many a noble character.

"However, we must not lose sight of the larger fact that unless properly, and I might say, scientifically, organized and conducted, they cannot for any considerable time meet their obligations."

This was in 1904 — 60 years ago.

While the above statement of the Commissioner of Insurance seems unduly derogatory, we must bear in mind the promotional picture as it appeared to him at that time. Only five years after the passage of the first fraternal law, 232 of these societies had been licensed, and 106 of them had already gone out of business. A year or so later, the Commissioner reported that more than 60 per cent of the fraternal organizations created under the Act of 1899 had closed up and quit business, and in no instance had there been found any assets for distribution among the membership.

I am pleased to say that at the same time these things were happening, examiners for the Insurance Department were making favorable reports about the condition of the Slavonic Benevolent Order. Since some of the meaning might be lost through my efforts at paraphrasing. I quote direct from the closing statements of the examiners' reports for the years 1909 and 1911, respectively: "The affairs of the association have been faithfully administered, the books and accounts systematically and accurately kept." . this Society deserves hearty commendation for its economy of management, its sound condition, and the absence of any fund expended in securing members. Too much money is usually spent by fraternal orders in deputies' and organizers' commissions

VE'STNfK and expenses."

In 1909, the fraternal laws were strengthened and the great promotional era apparently was at an end. Additional legislation was passed a few years later, but by 1910 the number of domestic fraternals, as reported in the records of the Department of Insurance, had dropped to 10. The number has varied from year to year since that time, but the number of domestic fraternal societies licensed this year is precisely the same as the number licensed 54 years ago.

The things which I have related to you are obstacles which have stood in the path of the fraternal movement.

Throughout these years when the climate for growth was most adverse, the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Aexas has steadily expanded its membership and its financial position.

This Order first appeared on the records of the Insurance Department in the year 1900, at which time SPJST had 1,214 members and gross assets or less than $3,000. Today it has assets of more than $13 million and about 35,000 members. This growth, both in membership and in financial position, did not come about by accident, and the fact that it was accomplished under the adverse conditions which I have related to you is even more to the credit of this Order.

I have one personal thought about the fraternal benefit system which I would like to leave with you tonight.

It is grounded in the Texas Insurance Code, which specifically states that a fraternal benefit society is an organization which is carried on solely for the mutual benefit of its members and their beneficiaries, and not for profit, and having a lodge system and representative form of government. I would admonish you to cling to that aspect of yolur organization, which is found in the words "having a lodge system and representative form of government." T believe this is the cornerstone of the fraternal benefit system, and anybody who actually engages in the commercial insurance business under the guise of being a fraternal benefit society, but without having a lodge system and representative form of government is not in compliance with the Texas insurance laws.

I am. grateful for having had this opportunity to share this occasion with you, and I assure you that the State Board of Insurance is anxious that its regulation of fraternal benefit insurance may foster your continued success.

After the contest came the awarding of the prizes which made for a lot of happy faces. (I'm sure Mrs. Nesuda will publish the complete report on these awards).

We also noted in our audience the Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, R. A. Urbanovsky and wife and we appreciate them making the trip to be with us.

In the evening came time for the coronation of the King and Queen of the Third District. Each lodge had a representative to make a speech on youth work in the lodge and after a decision of the judges, Carol Nesuda was crowned Queen of the Third District. The coronation ceremony with its grand march of princesses and their e corts and duchesses and their escorts and then the crowning was a fitting tribute and a beautiful ending to a day filled with activity by talented and ambitious youth of our lodges.

(Even those youngsters who did not participate found it a rewarding experience to see and know what can be done by boys and girls their own age).

Many thanks to our District Youth Director for a job well done and congratulations for being the mother of such a lovely queen.

Dear Friends, Everyone had a wonderful time at our lodge dance, when the well-liked Henry Brosch Orchestra of Moulton furnished such good music. We were happy to see some new faces, and we do hope they will come again. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Petrash of Schulenberg were among those from quite a distance.

Congratulations to our new Miss SPJST of Texas, our own Miss Betty Jo Machann, who represented District V. We of Lodge 88 are mighty proud of you! Also congratulations to the other contestants; you were a credit to your Districts , and it is too bad that all of you could not win!

There were two recent weddings of young people well known in Lodge 88.

The first of these was the wedding of Miss Dorothy Johnson and Mr. William .Hilsher, son of our Sister Birdie and Brother Alfred Hilsher, at All Saints Church. The bride was beautiful in a pretty white dress trimmed with white lace and beaded with pearls; her veil was finger tip length.

A reception for the relatives and hostesses of her shower was held at the Hilsher home, which was so beautifully decorated for the occasion. I must add that Sister Birdie, in a beautiful yellow lace dress with matching hat and accessories, could have passed for one of the bridesmaids!

The wedding of Miss Barbara Bohac, pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bohac and Stephen Michael Fowler took place at St. Anne's Church. The bride was beautiful in an exquisite white floor length gown and a finger tip veil. One of our young members of Lodge 88 and sister of the bride, Miss Susan Bohac, was Maid of Honor, and what a beautiful young lady she was in a pale green floor length gown!

The other bridesmaids also had the

Here I also must add that the bride's mother surely made a pretty picture in a rose beige lace dress and matching accessories.

The Entertainment Committee had a meeting Wednesday evening, and many important matters were discussed, especially the Grand Opening of our new hall. Chairman Harley Cox brought up several ideas for the open-

ing day . and several plans were made.

Board Director Louis Hanus met with the committee, and he also discussed more plans for the opening day.

President Tim Kostom and Board Director Jarda Cerny were there and helped us in our discussion for this great day for Lodge 88.

We hope you will come to our July dances, for we have some good orchestras, Door prizes will be given at every dance; these prizes will be donated by

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmcamp --SPJST--Czech-American Festival at the State Fair in Dallas, Sunday, October 11, 1964.

—SPJSTA PLEASING "THANK YOU" Dear Brothers and Sisters: our new lodge is progressing along very rapidly. The steel structure has been completed, the foundation has been poured, and now they are in the process of putting white brick around the sides of the building. The members and their friends should take a drive some afternoon and see the construction that is going on at West 15th and Beall. I bad a small chat with our good SPJST friend, Sava Hardee, who owns Hardee's Food Market at 7105 Fulton. and the Airline Kwik Drive Inn at 2101 Airline Drive. Mr. Hardee has recently been ill, but presently is feeling fine.

He has always given our lodge a helping hand, and if you members are in the vicinity of his stores at night or during the day, stop by and say hello.

Thanks. Mr. Hardee, for your kind help.

Did you see the letter in the Vestnik written by Agnes E. Burge in the 24th June issue? It was quite interesting and I hope Mr. RSB comes to Houston and helps me with the landscaping for the new lodge. Agnes Burge is truly a faithful member and always thinks about the members at our lodge. I hope she can get away from the sands of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and visit us for our grand opening. I was wondering if she would be so kind and buy a few of our donation books. I have some that I will gladly send her.

Thanks for your letter Agnes, and remember, we are thinking of you.

Have you heard about Mrs. Marie Bra:elm-Ian who has already sold her quota of donation books?! If any memmer wishes to help with the donation books, please call me at UN 2-8754, UN 9-5701, or write me at 6046 Woadbrook Lane and I will send you the books.

We need help with the donation books and every member should call and ask for two books. Just call us and we will send you a few.

I met my old friend, Louis Macha,

VESTNIK from Wharton, who was a delegate at the convention in Waco. Brother Macha is the type of SPJST member who doesn't say much, but has come up with some-wonderful ideas that have been most helpful to our SPJST organization. His right hand man, Bro. Ignac Senkyrik from Lodge 163, came to the convention and fought to get the 6 per cent rebate for the lodges.

Between the two brothers they sure knew how to manipulate the other delegates at the convention to get what they wanted. Visit Brother Macha's liquor store when you are in.

Wharton and tell him to give you a discount.

Don't forget our dance this coming Saturday, July 11. Support your lodge and be a worthy SPJST member.

Yards and Gardens The Role of Soil Much money is wasted each year by homeowners who buy dark colored soils thinking that the color indicates richness. Actually, the original humus content of these black muck soils has been burned out. The color is due to residual carbon, of no more nutrient value to grass than coal.

With the scarcity of loam soil in most localities, it is not worthwhile to import, topsoil unless it is needed for grading. Instead, it is better to use the soil already there, even if it is all subsoil. You can add fertilizer to make up any nutrient deficiency. Results will be better, the cost less.

After all, the role of soil today is largely that of providing anchorage for the grass plants and storage for moisture. Just as the farmer, the lawnowner must add the fertilizer necessary for sturdy, thrifty plants.

"Grass Alone Does the Job" There is no good substitute for a lawn. The corny story about the fellow who dug up his grass and poured green concrete is well known. It has been tried ... becomes exceedingly hot during the summer and creates heat which invades the house and makes the indoors uncomfortable. Who wants to live on a concrete slab anyway?

Grass has an esthetic value for which there is no substitute. It goes

Mowing Tips Different kinds of lawns respond to different cutting heights. In general, the thing to keep in mind is to avoid extreme close mowing, particularly in hot weather.

If the grass is scalped, evaporation of moisture from the soil is increased substantially. This in turn increases the damage in a .drouth situation.

Scalping also exposes the crown of the plant to sun burning. In addition, it upsets the natural process of growth by reducing photosynthesis and the root absorption of nutrients necessary for producing green leaf growth.

Let's Talk About Watering Although it is true that more water is better than a little, a little is better than none. Even a heavy dew is of real value to grass. And while we do not recommend a fast pass with the hose, it is better than doing no watering at all in severe conditions.

There are certain principles of watering that are applicable in most situations. For example, you will get more out of watering if you do it.before you see signs of wilting.

It isn't necessarily true that half an inch of water once a week is better for the lawn than a quarter inch twice a week. In fact, for a fast-drying Soil, the later may be better.

If there is any best time of day to water the lawn, it is midday.

For a sizable lawn, consider using a "travelling" sprinkler such as the Melnor which follows the hose and reels it up as it goes along. Another possibility is the Sunbeam, which pulls itself along as it winds up a stretched out tape.

For The Housewife BROTHERS BELIEVE WORKING WOMEN STAY BETTER LOOKING The Kelly brothers, William and Richard, feel almost personally injured by all brickbats hurled at working women.

"Working wives and mothers are better looking, more alert, more efficient and better homemakers," declared Richard Kelly on a trip to New York for the publication of the brothers' new book, "Work Smartly."

He should know, for their Kelly Girl

Wednesday, July 8, 1061

VESTNfK

Service places 70,000 women a year in temporary and part-time jobs, "Why should there be an either-or about staying home or working?" asks Mr. Kelly, a tall, relaxed Detroiter who with his brother pioneered in the temporary help field, where there are now some 500 firms.

"Lots of women are too much on their children's necks , have nothing to talk about with husbands except all the small complaints of the day. A part - time working arrangement or temporary jobs taken when she can, makes her a more interesting person all around."

Mr. Kelly noted that the women who goes to work is far less likely to let herself get slack about her looks. In fact, when some housewives come to Kelly Girl after years out of the business world, they often need a refresher in grooming and dress to bring them up to business standards.

"Our supervisors, besides being examples themselves, are trained to make suggestions tactfully when needed. If women need to brush up on business skills, they may need just as much to brush up on dress and beauty skills."

The Kellys' book is a guide for women who are thinking of temporary employment. But they wrote it chiefly to reach those who may never have considered it.

"There are more such jobs available than there are women to fill them," said Mr. Kelly. "Lots of them are the kind that automation can't and may never fill. A machine can't answer an executive's phone or make his appintments."

Among the aids that Kelly Girl has developed for new applicants is a film to illustrate business attitudes, dress and make-up.

Since the average age of temporary women workers is 37, and many have long been out of the working field, such matters have often been a "dress-up thing" for them. That is why Mr. Kelly believes that working women look smarter and prettier, on the average, than stay-at-home women.

"It's an everyday thing for working women to look their best. They have to be more efficient housekeepers, too.

The small domestic crises don't look so big when related to an outside world, and that includes the sins of the kids."

2 BACTERIA TYPES REPORTED IN ACNE Only two kinds of bacteria have been found in most acne lesions of the face, report researchers in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia.

Their study, in the journal, Archives of Dermatology, took issue with claims in medical literature that "an unpredictable and random parade of organisms which chance to find their way into the lesions" are involved in acne development.

The two organisms were identified as Corynebacterium acnes and Staphylococcus albus. Both were regarded by the scientists as contributors to the cause of acne through secondary bacterial infection.

They have "squatter's rights" in all types of acne lesions because they thrive in the normal follicles, or hair glands, of the face, said the researchers, Dr. N. H. Shehadeh and Dr. Albert Kligman.

—SPJSTJULY PLENTIFULS PRESENT GOOD FOOD STORY A good story can bear telling more than once.

And the good story for July — for consumers , that is — is that beef once again is plentiful, says the Texas Agricultural Extension. Service.

Record production of fed beef is keeping cattle and beef prices at the lowest in several years. Beef is the perfect choice for July * the "Picnic Month."

Also featured are fresh plums. Forecast of a record-large 110,000-ton California crop should result in large shipments of this fruit into local markets, supplementing local suppli.

Other July plentifuls, as compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Marketing Service, include turkeys, early summer vegetables, watermelons, canned pink salmon and vegetable fats and oils.

A ten per cent increase in July marketings of turkeys should provide ample supplies of this popular meat.

The turkey industry is again celebrating its Summer Turkey Time promotion, this month.

Such vegetables as sweet corn, tomatoes and onions from local gardens will supplement large shipments from distant commercial producing areas.

A three per cent increase over last year in watermelon production more than likely will result in prices favorable to the consumer. Most of the in-

crease is due to 6,000 more acres of watermelons being planted this year in Texas.

Stocks of canned pink salmon should remain large, along with huge supplies of edible vegetable oils.

For Your Information: WATER SPORTS CAN BE SAFE Water sports are popular in America.

Some 80 million Americans are participants. But before the summer is over more than 6,000 will not be around to enjoy life unless they follow water safety rules, points out Wayne Keese, a Texas A. and M. University agricultural engineer who also does a lot of work in the farm and home safety field.

Drownings, he explained, account for more than. 6,000 fatalities each year in the nation and ranks fourth among the major death causing accidents. And, he emphasizes, the number of oneyear olds leads all other age groups in the number of fatalities. Small children should never be permitted to play around water unless closely supervised.

About a third of the drownings occur while people are swimming or playing in the water and the other twothirds result from falls into the water from docks, bridges or shores or while the person is fishing, boating or is engaged in non-swimming activities, says Keese.

A few simple rules could prevent many of the fatal accidents and the first rule, according to the engineer, is to know how to swim, if you plan to engage in any type of water sport or activity. Learn to float, he adds, so you can rest in the water. Know the area in which you swim. Swim with others and never alone. Learn how to give mouth-to-mouth respiration. If you are a novice at swimming, don't get in water over your head and don't go in deep water after dark.

Never engage in rough play in the water nor stay in the water during an electrical storm. Use the buddy system when swimming with groups and always wear a life preserver when boating or skiing, advises Keese.

If you have a farm pond, make it safe for swimming. Mark the swimming areas and post safety rules. Provide life saving device such as a ring buoy, a long pole and ropes and it's a good idea to mark danger points such as

stumps or sharp rocks, he says. Swimming, he adds, is one of the healthiest forms of outdoor recreation and by following common sense rules of safety can also be one of the most enjoyable.

TEACH CHILDREN TO DIAL ZERO IN AN EMERGENCY Small children should know and trust the telephone operator as much as they do the corner policeman, and should turn to the operator in the event of an emergency.

Extension Service specialists at Tex as A. and M. University say that although pre-school youngsters can't be expected to memorize long telephone numbers, they can be taught one rule: If an accident happens, dial zero, tell the operator what is wrong, and she will help you.

A child should be taught, however, that he is to dial zero only in emergencies, says Bobye Riney, Extension rural civil defense specialist, and Patsy Reynolds, family life education specialist.

One five-year-old's plaintive message to the operator was "my mommie's asleep and won't wake up and there's a fire in our house." After a little prodding, the operator learned the boy's name and address and called the fire department. Firemen rushed to the address, found the house on fire, and the mother knocked out by sleeping pills. Both survived, thanks to the child's action and the operator's help.

Another youngster whose mother fell through a !floor and was trapped, went directly to the telephone and dialed zero. He couldn't remember his daddy's name or where he lives, but he rattled off the name and address of his grandparents. The operator called them, got the child's address and had a doctor on the way in minutes.

Although operators are ingenious in tracing calls for small dry, such procedure is a waste of precious time. Encourage your child to memorize his name, his father's name and address, the specialists recommend.
