Mnoho bylo vykonano, vgak zbYva jegte hodne k vykonani. Tam, kde organisatori nejsou, neni to einnost, ktera by se mohla oeekavat. Pouteni z takove skuteenosti je: ze potrebujeme vice schopnYch organisatorti, kde nyni. neni 2acineho. K tome uzaveru musi prijit kaZdY rozumny Glen.

It is so easy for parents to teach a little child to shoulder responsibility.

MOthers have it in their power to drive this lesson home by teaching children the very earliest rule of good living: putting away their toys. This can be done by taking time to show the child how toys; after hen=s; played with, go into a box or basket, instead of being_ allowed to remain on the living,room or kitchen floor until an exhausted and cross mother 1•; forced to do the task herself phi : cleanup work teaches the you q ,. :tor that his toys are his responsibility.

Children in every home should have little duties to perform, rare' ', hol:ping with tha diPhos, their brooms -in -order, as they grow older and also assisting with outside work. Mmy people like to say that in today's modern homes, there is nothing for children to do. This isn't true.

There are always.chairs to be dusted; little repairs to be made; drawers to be kept tidy; toys to be put away; windows to be washed; socks to be mended; 0: premises to be kept in orde.r,Tire has--ew9Pk is there.

This letter, addressed to the editor, appeared in a Boston newspaper recently. The man who wrote it had, unfortri;nately, learned the "why" of wife insurance much too late to be able to do anything about it. But he has provided the best of answers for prospects who tell us, "My wife has a $1,000 or a $2,000 policy. I think that's enough for any wife." Also, for those who say, "I own sufficient life insurance to protect my family. Why should I insure my wife?"

Apparently the letter's author is a man in his early thirties, judging by the ages of his daughters. His home ownership and statement about ha y -ingotrublepayingthblsdicates steady employment at a reasonably good salary

WIFE INSURANCE "Did you ever wonder what becomes of widows and Widowers? I mean. men and women th small children. Is any or — ;,' Lion or anyone who really cares ...lid tries to do anything to help them get back to a normal way of life?

"I am a widower with two small girls who were eight and four when their mother died this past year. I have a little home, and in trying to keep the girl,7, together, I have advertised in the papers, talked with welfare people, Red Cross, employment agencies, the church, etc., but what a job trying to get a housekeeper! I can swing the house, pay the bills, give some woman a good home, comfort, etc., in return for cooking and washing, and pay her .. but not $50 a week,"

If we tried to reconstruct this man's life for the years after his wife's death, we would undoubtedly find that it followed a familiar pattern. For the first few weeks, close relatives, if he had any nearby, would take care of the childnen.. Oltherwlise, kind - hearted neighbors would do what they could to help, give the girls lunch, and keep an eye on them until their father came home from work. When the emotional shock of losing his wife had abated somewhat, the father would recognize this arrangement for what it is — a temporary affair and one by no means in the best interests of his daughters.

He'd have to face up to the fact that it was imperative to have a full-time housekeeper if his children were to regain their former, and so necessary, feeling of security.

With the average man's lack of knowledge about things, he'd start looking for what experienced employers would refer to as a "jewel," a person of flawless character who would be a substitute mother for his girls. Additionally, she'd cook excellent meals; keep the house shiningly clean; shop economically; give the girls religious training; teach them high moral ethics

12 and good manners; wash, iron; double as a nurse when necessary; and cheerfully perform sundry other chores, just as his wife had done.

In short order, our "innocent abroad" would discover the futility of trying to find a woman of this description for the price he could afford to pay — in all likelihood not more than $15 a week. He would fast learn that not only are reasonably capable housekeepers hard to find, but should you be lucky enough to locate one she will expect to be paid a minimum of $50 for a five-day week, $200-plus a month; or not less than $2.400 a year.

Barring the possibility of re-Marriage, our letterwriter's need for a housekeeper would be acute for at least six years, when his oldest daughter will reach age 15. By that time his employee's services will have cost him, a staggering $14,000. How can a man, whose income is almost fully used up in daily living, manage to take on such a financial burden?

Maybe the situation in which he finds himself is not of his own making.

Possibly no life insurance agent ever explained the "why" of wife insurance to him. We'll never know.

But this we do know: In homes on our debits and, in fact, all around us, there are many husbands who can 'avoid the tragic experience of this man. We can talk to them aboiA wife insurance, and convince them of its im p ortance. We can show them what setting aside a few dollars a week could mean, should they lose their wives at some future date. In addition, cash values will build up and they can be used for financial emergencies, educational expenses, and so forth, as well as helping to provide a more comfortable retirement for both husband and wife. Are we bringing this type of information. about wife insurance to the attention of all the couples we know?

OUTNUMBER, OUTLIVE MEN

Three years ago the late President Kennedy set up a commission to study the status of women in the United States. Here are some facts from that commission's report. You may find the full report in your library or get it from the Bureau of Publications, Washington, D.C. A girl baby born today has a life expectancy of 73 years. A girl baby born in 1900 could be expected to live only about 48 years.

More women get married today and at a younger age than in 1900.

Today one third of all workers are women, over half , of them married. In 1909, v.,einen made up only 13 per cent of the labor force.

Women in the United States today outnumber men by 3,000,000 and outlive them from ,five to 10 years.

In 1900 about 5,009 women earned a college degree. This number grew to 145,000 in 1961.

While more girls than boys today graduate from high school, far fewer girls go to college and more women than men drop out of college.

But strange as it may seem, the proportion of women in college — four women to six men — was higher in 1939 than today.

It has been estimated that by 1980 the number of women in college may catch up with men.

However, the estimate right now also is that 4,000,000 adult women of our nation have had less than five years of school; and less than half of all women 25 years and over are high school graduates.

This means that, for many women over 40, fewer jobs will be available, because of limited education. Also family lifp as well as community life will be loss satisfactory, as a rule, to the less educated woman. p Drive Lodge No. 85 J000 in 100

The Bar chairman is to be elected after the resignation of past Bar chairman, Brother Willie Adamek. No volun• teens were submitted. Brother Charles Pavelka nominated Brother Vernon Wood. The only objection Brother Wood had to the position was that he could not be at the hall every Satar. day night because his working hours would make it impossible. Brother Rudolf Zalman volunteered to be his assistant. Brother Antone thanked these_ two brothers for accepting this position.

During the past month Brother Antone had charge of the Refreshment Committee and he thanked Brothers Charles Pavelka, Vernon Wood, Rudy Vicha, Fred Kobitza, and Willie Miadenka for helping him during the past month at night in preparation for the on-coming dances on Saturday night.

Building Chairman Brother John Mach, thanked everyone for their help and cooperation during the past month as far as the building was concerned.

He urged that the gutters be removed from the building. A motion was made • and seconded that a vote be taken on the matter. The vote favored the removal of the gutters. Brother Mach stated the floor area surrounding the dance floor needs to be sanded, varbished, and waxed. Brother Edwin Holub stated that he believed that decision should be left up to the Building Committee as to what needs to be done to the floor. A motion was made and seconded that we hire the job done.

The meeting adjourned.

Fraternally yours, Norma Pavelka, Substitute Reporter P.;S. The Rudolf Zalman family left Tnesday for a trip to San Pedro, Calif.; by car. Each year they go to San Pedro to attend a reunion with all the surviving ex-sailors (and their families) who served on a WW II war ship durthe last war. San Pedro is on the outskirts of Los Angeles, but still is an incorporated city of its own. So each year the Zalmans's "go home" so to speak and that's the look you see in Brother Zalman's eyes each year when that time come around. Sister Zalm2 a was a very diligent navy wife and they lived in various parts of the world during the war. They recently motored to Tennessee to visit Sister Zalman's parents whom we all met on their last trip to Waco, when they came to our lodge hall and enjoyed themselves so much. Bye-bye.

Let's support this special dance and show the entertainment committee that you do want nationally-known bands to play when we get to the new lodge. This orchestra is tops in performance and personality and public demand has made it necessary for this outstanding orchestra to take time out from a busy booking schedule to make recordings especially for you such as, "Good Looking Polka," "Bad Boy Polka," Faded Rose Waltz," and "Little Meadowlark Waltz " This sevenpiece versatile aggregation has appeared on numerous radio stations, has been televised, and is the only Nebraska band in existence today that

STUDENTS WITH CZECH

Students of Czech heritage are urged to continue their study of the language if they continue their high school education and enter college.

The following instructions and benefits for those studying Czech are outlined by Calvin Chervenka, vice president of the Czech Ex-Students Association of Texas.

The beginning course in Czech will be relatively easy for you if you are evenly only slightly familiar with the language. Word pronunciations are the hardest "hurdle" for anyone starting to learn Czech: but most persons of Czech descent seem to have a natural ability to "twist their tongues" as required for the proper pronunciations.

Courses in Czech will count as foreign language or electives credit toward most degrees at most schools.

Why not utilize and add to your existing knowledge and natural ability in Czech instead of starting on some other foreign language with which you are totally unfamiliar and which may prove of very little if any use to you?

A better knowledge of the Czech language will be of help to you in learning other foreign languages which you may decide to study later. The more foreign languages you know the easier it is to learn additional ones.

Knowledge of one or more foreign languages will better qualify you for many additional job opportunities — no matter what may be your major course of study.

The Czech language is often referred to as the "Key to learning the Russian language" which is at present very important in various governmental, scientific, industrial. commercial, educational and literary activities, There is an ever increasing need in the U.S. diplomatic and military services for persons who can "dea' with the Russians in their own language."

Taking a course in Czech may better qualify you for certain scholarships and or student loans provided by Czech fraternal or other organizations. Although registration ;for Czech courses may not necessarily be a prerequisite for obtaining these scholarships and

25 loans such action will certainly be in your favor.

A better knowledge of the Czech language may be of considerable practical value to you after graduation if you engage in any professional or business enterprize which competes for the patronage of the many persons who do and will continue to prefer use of the Czech language.

Also, there are many fraternal, religious, and mutual organizations in Texas which will continue to require officers who are proficient in both the Czech and English languages. Even if you are unable to take a regular college credit course in the Czech language, try to enroll in a terminal-type "conversational Czech" course which will be helpful for the reasons mentioned in this paragraph.

A better knowledge of the Czech language and/or membership in a Czech Club will better prepare you for more successful living by a more complete acceptance and assimilation into the American society and way of life. Most likely your name (even if you change it) will always be known or recognized by some as being of Czech origin.

This will be to your credit because practically everyone is aware of and respects the patriotic and cultural contributions which the Czechs have made to help this country great. Most people realize that this country is great because we are a composite group which includes the strands of many people and many cultures, and that one can be (and indeed is more likely to be) a true, loyal and more appreciative American if he does not forsake the language and culture of .his ancestors.

If you can answer the occasional frendly question about the language and culture of your ancestors, others will respect rather than criticize you for it. As you grow older, you, yourself, will feel an ever increasing psychological and consequently practical need for knowledge about your ancestral ties and cultural heritage and background. Avail yourself of any present opportunities to gain this knowledge for your own future benefit I hope you will continue your education at a college or university of your own choosing. If the Czech Ex- Students Association of Texas can assist you in any way, please call on us.

If you are interested in learning more about the scholarship, Czech language courses, and Czech Clubs, write to the chairman the Dept. of Slavonic Languages at the school of your choice.

Footnote to History — Had the Texas War of Independence lasted a bit longer, the "Ladies' Cavalry" might have been among its heroes.

The "Ladies" weren't women at all.

They were stalwart Kentucky mountain men spoiling for a fight. They called their 200-member corps "Ladies' Cavalry" in honor of the women who raised money for the expedition.

In June, 1836, the corps left Louisville for Texas unaware that the Mexicans had been routed at San Jacinto,.

It was only when they reached New Orleans that they learned that the war was over, and the "Ladies' Cavalry" returned home without firing a shot.

This Changing World — At Port Neches, on the Gulf coast, the kids never had it so good. They attend summer school to learn how to lish! For

the second year, classes were held recently on Saline Lake (near Natchitoches, La.) to teach boys between 13 and 16 how to catch bass.

Traveling Texas — This may be the last summer for visitors to El Paso to ride the only remaining international trolley in the, world. Since 1882, the three and one-half mile line has provided slow, but inexpensive, trans portation between downtown El paso and the heart of Juarez, Mexico. The round-trip costs 22 cents. There is a movement afoot to replace the trolleys with busses, and the electric cars may cease running this year.

Bus Stop —. Dallas is headquarters for the nation's second largest interstate bus system. Its Continental Trailways operates 2,12,3 buses over 68,105 route miles that fan out over 43 states.

Continental is so garge now that it manufactures its own, buses at a plant in Belgium and sells the surplus to. European bus lines.

Tourism Note — What used to be one of Austin's favorite attractions for visi-

tors is closed to the public and even the Legistiature is fretting about it. It is the dome of the State Capitol — second only to that of the National Capital in height. For years, it was the best place to get a bird's eye view of Austin but Capitol guards closed it because they felt the stairway was unsafe.
