• • Tyto a podobne otazky nom kladou eleni i neeleni na§i jednoty a nejen mladi, ale i dospeli. asto rozhovor s anglickoxnluviCim elenem rni takto: dostavate Vestnik ?Ano. Otete ho?

Jest velice zajimave a mile sledovati na gebe rcdaktora, kterY vecne podava Ceske elanky ve Vestniku, ac zde rozenY vy gkoleny inteligent, nas presvedeuje, ae jest je gte doba daleka, ,nad zapadem, narodniho ziti Ceskoslovenske vetve v Americe, pokud my same mame zajem a mluvime materskou reel, nebo je-li dosucl o pekne ocipoledne nageho aivota a mnohymi moanostprojevu narodnich trami die.

Bez uprimne snaky a zapalu a bez opravdove lasky ke v4emu tomu, co tvori vYznaene znaky tohoto na, geho na rodniho aivota jako dedictvi po predcich, by ovgem neglo. Je treba predevgim upevnit viru v krasu a prospech takove einnosti, setrasti lhostejnost a malomyslnost a prihrat se na kaadem ohnieku eeskoslovenske lasky, jak projevuje se rnznYmi slavnostmi, programy, divadly a jinYm osvetovYm sna.aenim, Jest jegte hodne takovYch premilYch

Nemame addnYch pricin, abychom se za svuj paved stydeli. Pro nas by mela bYti slova Franti gka Palaskeho — i kdybych ciganskeho rode byl a posledni jeho potornek, prec bych se, aby eestna pamatka po rune zustala, mela by stale zvoniti nasich u gich a nalezti °bias i v srddela k povzbuzeni naseho sozeni.

Dnegni nag Vestnik velmi Caste pile o Uspegne provedenych CeskYela. divadlech, jako i roZmani4ch vzdelavacich programech, ktere jsou vgechny, abychom tak rekli, pokraeovaci g kelou Ceske- ree l , pro nagi mladea, ktera, se v nich uplatnuje. VSechm ■ to prispiva k tune nageho mladeno pokoleni, aby se lepe seznamila s eeskYm a sJovenskYm jazykem. Nikdy nerikejte, ae na ge mladea se &s•y uedi nechce, jen ji dejte 'prileaitost, a dejte ji nahlednouti do Vestniku, kde redaktor jako buditel V g eho Ceskeho ji poda vysvetleni. • Tyto, snaky, by inely byti co nejvice podporovany, ponevada k udraevani eeskoslovenskeho puvodu je nage materska ree nejmilej gim a nej1opMm pro'sti'ectkem.

Svirj div tam spattil. Zdalo se mu, Ze ani na vojn etolik koni pohromade :nevidel. "Pro kolik regimentri: by to staeilo," myslil si, chode beze slova za sedlakem.

Kdo nespateil koriskik trh netolickY, nedovede si o nem odiniti pfedstavu.

Zidovgti handliti a sedlaci, zlocieji 'korigti a dohazovadi, feditele glechtickYch panstvi, cikani, kapesni ziodej• a detnici v pestre smesi vali se tu a tladi kolem koni krasnYch, mladYch a bujnYch, stejne jako kolem herek sedeerikch. — Mali, chlupati konici cikanti, netolidti heebei, kone komediantil a kramaili a seigti tahouni zaptahaji je, provadeji krokem i klusem zkougeji — kupuji a prodavaji. Jakoby omraeen kiikem a hlukem postaval Cirnbora. Ale brzy pominul prvni dojem a on poeal v tom mnalstvi si v gimat jednotlivYch zvieat. Pad! mu do oka vysokk, ztepilk kum —Cerny jako havran a zas klisna bilk jako padlk snih — a pak i zjevy barvou merle napadne poutaly jeho pozomoste Zvlagte od heibat se mu nechtelo. Kovanda na neho nepromluvil. Jenom tu a tam poteasi rukou znamemu a zase kra d I el dal dlouhYmi eadami koiAva. Dvakrat, teikrat pro gel celk trh, ale to ut se zastavoval, sem tam na cenu se petal, kone si obe gel, jineinu nohu zvedl, tlamu oteviel. — I Cimbura uZ" se odvaal, hospodafe se pustil — zastavil se u jednoho paru a ne'2: se otodil, zmizel mu Kovanda s adi. A tak sam potom chodil a prohlg el si, jako by to vkstava byla. Zlobil se, kdy' spa-. tell .kone utkraneho, ale zaradoval se pa kalde, kdy'2 padl na peknk kus.

VESTNIK "Tak co," piaci mu nahle na rameno Kovanda — sis vybral?"

"Neby:biram — prohlilim jen," tekl Cimbura.

"Tak pojd' se mnou," a piivedl ho k paru koni. Az dech se Cimburovi zatajil pohledu na ne. Nebyla to u2 hilbata a nebyli to dosud kone. Jako dvepanny stali tie a skromne v koutku; ale ctitelil rneli hojne. Byl stale u nick nekdo, kdo je opplacaval, ohleclaval, nohy jim prohliZel "Hle, jsou kovani pouze na piedek."

"Protcde vidig hilbata. Letos po prve byla v poll. Jsau teileta krky maji mai° otladene. K nam by se hodila. Do tulle prate mame 'may. Pies zimu zesili a ztyrdnotr. Budou z nich jednou kone jako lvi. Hied' na jejich krky — na rovny hebet — v gimni si jejich hlav — dela maji giroka — oei dobracke, ne divoke, a nohy — nohy jako strunky" — potichu mluvil Kovanda a °di mu jen hoiely.

"A budou to gimii, az vylinaji."

"Nebudou to eisti gimli — budou to musavi — moZno i tygei Ze z nich budou," opravoval Kovanda a znovu k nim piistoupil a hladil je.

Odegli od nich a znovu toulali se trhem, ale zase k nim se vratili.

"Prohladni je dobee," porudil Cimburovi sedlak a dal se do feel s jejich majitelem. Odkud je a kdo je? Z Nemdie, sedlak, sam heibata vychoval. Ma doma tii klisny Kovanda maze se na ne piijlt podivat. Povedel i o hiebci, kde stoji a jak je nebodou z nich mugaci ani tygei — ale budou to gimli grogovati — "pstruzi" — jak se jim iika.

Cimbura zatim obchazel kone a Ad po ridu — east po easti na nich ohledaval a prohliZel. Nenahmatal nikde ani bulky, ani keive rostle kristky, po eelem tele nemeli ani poskvrny.

"A 2e je nikdo nekoupi," podivil se Cimbura, kdyZ Kovanda znovu od nich ,odegel.

"Kupetit je dost — ale zdaji se jim drahe — chteji vyekat mysli si, k polednimu sedlak slevi," vykladal zkugeny bospodae, toulaje se po trhu.

Ale ku podivu, nic se mu nelibilo -UZ pro nic oci nemel, jenom k tem g lmlum modne ho to tahlo zpet.

"Pod tisic zlatek je nedam — ani grog nesmi schazet," keieel sedlak, odmita• e podavanau pravici.

"Peidam desitku," nabizel kopet.

"U2 jse • tekl."

Jako na trni stal Kovanda. Da-11 ten koriak tisicovku, budou krasna zviiata jeho a co on — co on si to potorn bybere? Nic tu neni, samy brak vgecko.

Kovanda by byl vykiikl radosti.

Rovnou gel k sedlakovi; "Doslava bratee sedlaku zad dag heiba•a?"

"Za tisic zlatYch." "Rueig za ne?"

"Ruelm, tieba hlavou."

"Tak jsou moje," va'Zne pronesl Kovanda a Cimbura uZ je odvazoval.

Srdce sedlaka Kovandy piirostlo nyni k novYm konim. "Pstruzi" jim ilkal, miliskoval a mazlil se s nimi jako s detmi. — Ale Cimburovo srdce zristalo verne Dobraku a Divoke. Byli jako jeho. S nimi ted' formanil na 'fad se- !

Na jeho hrob Cimbura jednou schvalne si zasel, protote byl jeho rodakem, a vroucne se tam pomodlil.

Piksa stoeil kalne oei po Cimburovi a vzal ho za ruku. "Slib mi — at umru, te budeS" poruenikem mYrn detem," lizruSene vyrazil nahle ze sebe chrapti'Om hlasem.

"A co bys tento — hm", lanai slova Cimbura, aby potekl jak bylo piece slueno. Ale nedovedl se pretvarovat, bylo mu samemu kra gno u srdce, litost a soucit si ho podnialiovaly — uvedomoval si, jak j e v te chvili neohrabanY, nejapnY, nic ho nenapadlo, co by mel iici, jenom zaplakat se mu chtelo nad zlomenYm pritelem — — — "A co bys o smrti mluvil snad neni tak zle —" vyhrkl koneene ze sebe na Atechu a povzbuzenou.

FROM TIlE SILENT ONES . .

THE EDITOR'S DESK I ET ME WORK

In travelling all over the state attending SPJST; meetings and various other , functions, I am often confronted with interesting, and °Mimes amusing, questions and statements. These most often concern me personally, and sometimes my position as editor. Over a prolonged period, I have made notes of the most interesting and arresting questions and statements. Here they are What do you do in the SPJST? How do you like living in Temple? How long have you lived in West? You are sending the Vestnik to the wrong address; will you change it? Why do .I get the Vestnik a week late? Why do I no longer receive the Vestnik? So, you are the editor of the Vestnik! I expected you to be a much older person.

Aren't you teaching school any more?

What happened to the story "Svejk"?

When did you come to this country?

Where were you born in Czechoslovakia? Do you, publish the Vestriik weekly or monthly? Is the Vestnik alt in Czech or all in. English? How much does it cost a year? Who is entitled to get it?

Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market-place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, "This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way."

Then shall, I see it not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerfully greet the 'Laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me my work is best.

—Henry van, Dyke

These and similar questions are asked constantly by both non-members of the ,SPJST and members. In talking with English-speaking members, I frequently ask, , ,"do you get the Vest,nik?" My friend answers "yes." "Do you read ,it?" "Well, I don't. My 'mother and father read it I don't because I can't read, Czech.' Don't you know that a large portion of the Vestmk in English?" No I wasn't aware of that; I never look that far into ' it.

Anyhow, I don't hate much time for reading." "Did you read the minutes of the convention proceedings?" "No, I have enough work at home and my

Conversations like , this take place at almost every MST meeting or similar affair, sometimes, of course., with members who are not too knowledgeable on the &UST and with whom I had had no previous contact.

It is 'always an,interesting situation.

SometiMes, it takes place with an "oldtimer," and then I wonder quietly to myself: "My friend, where have you been all these years? You belong to an organization about which you knorw very little. The Vestnik has been published in West since 1932. The name and address of the editor appear in EVERY issue of the Vestnik, page 2,

share of daily worries." "Do you have enough life insurance?" "I .hope so."

as well as his telephone numbers, plus the addresses of the Supreme Lodge in Temple, where you are to send changes of address and any inquiries regarding delivery of the Vestnik.

Doesn't anyone ever look on page 2?"

I wonder alt. this to myself ...

From such conversations one can only come to the conclusion that a certain number of our members do not know some of the important details concerning the Order to which they belong. They take little interest in activities of the Order unless they have a direct, crucially-important and personal reason to do so, despite the fact that as paying members of a rather large insurance body they have a very personal and serious stake. Some never have any contact or association with the Order between the time they purchase a certificate and the sad and unfortunate moment when it comes time to file a death claim. At that point, they become very interested. Another conclusion drawn from all this is that both the organizer and the local, lodge should make the extra effort to personally acquaint the new members with all the basic information pertaining to the SPJST, either at the time the new certificate is delivered or at the time of initiation, if you can get them there. At any rate, at some time shortly after the new member is written up, even if it has to be by telephone, he or she should be given a short resume and summary of the most fundamental information about the SPJST. From experience, it might even be well to hold short "get-acquainted seminars" once each year to review briefly the history of the SPJST and other basic information. You say you already know all that? I can testify otherwise. It comes• in the

12 forms of letters across my desk every week. This is aLo a part of what might be termed "SFUST Consciousness," or "Awareness." The more you know about the organization to which you belong the more intellingently you can support it and discuss it with outsiders. How can you tell somebody something you don't know?

Aii. of this points to one startling and disturbing fact: we have among U3 a vast "army" of silent partners. As far as the sPJST is concerned they are "asleep". The proper feeling and spirit has not yet gotten through to them.

It may never. They can be found in every lodge. In fact, they comprise the majority of the membership of molt ledges. Cno needs only to look around at the faces at le ige picnics, dances, bazaars, and entertainment programs.

They are the same ones each time arcond. Where are the ethers? Where are the "silent partners?"

• Why is this? How can these "silent ones" be brought inside the circle of activity? They are so urgently needed.

ManY theories could be advanced as to why this is so, and if you asked some of these peoptie, you would probably get as many answers as the number of people asked. They might go something like this well I just didn't know about it I don't have time for lodge work; there are so many other thin g3 to do. I have to work hard at making a living; let "George" do it All my . neighbors are "Americanoriented," and I rarely come into contact with Czech people. (Hogwash!) glad when I can sit down and rest and look at television. What wouid do there? I get bored stiff every time I go to meetings and socials. My mother and father were active; I just send in my dues regularly. The local officers are no good; they are lax and indifferent; we hear the same old record.

We have no youth, so what's the use?

And so on and so on Note that these are a collection of answers and comments many people — not just one per-on. Add to these the submerged personality factors, about which litVic is said bet which often get in the way of progress in a lodge. Those are the "human factors," the human frailties, that very few of us are not caught up in. o

•

Thus, we still have the same question: how do we awaken and enlist the aid and support of this vast army of silent members? We would like to hear some solutional answers to this vex-

ing problem. As the workhorses in every !lodge know, the old "regulars" constitute only about 10, perhaps 20 per cent. a the total lodge membership. the other 130 to 80 per cent?

Going back briefly to the subject of the Vestnik. we can only add that a certain number of members read it vi y little or not at all. Many, on the other hand. (we hope MOIST), eagerly wait for the Vestnik to arrive in the mailbox. It costs the Order a lot 'of money - - OUR money and each member' shoUld know WHAT we are, WHY we have our fraternal pubilication, WHAT Sort of work we are 'contributing to the American society, and then 11 r., its pages to the fullest extent pro:Able_ it is CUR property -L- YOURS and MINE.

MUke use of iti Once again, I feel compelled to point out that our adults should give their attention to the programs of the youth.

They work hard preparing them, as did the youthtleaders and youth directors. We are setting a bad example when We converse loudly,' laugh, and act as though nothing else in the world mattered. At that same moment, some youngster is trembling in her shoes trying to make an impression on the very same adults who are laughing, talking and just plain "having a ball."

Such'rudeness! Such cariousness! What are Youth Activity Days for? Heaven only knows what the youngsters feel like at that moment! One feels like asking the "laughe,rs" and the "talkers," "are you sure the young folks are not interfering with your conversation?" When will we improve this habit?

A FLAG OVER A DEFIANT FORT INSPIRED A NATIONAL ANTHEIV1 150th Anniversary of the "Star Spangled Banner" Francis Scott Key witnessed the entire bombardment of Fort McHenry from the deck of a small American sloop anchored downstream from the 16 Briti h warships that took part in the action. The long vigil, which began in the early hours of 1S . eptem.ber 13, 1814, was a period of great anxiety for the patriot, who was cut off from his count-:y and his loved ones.

The circumstances that placed Key on the deck of that sloop at that particular moment in history were the result of a long, !fortuitous chain of events.

The war with Great Britain, then two years old, had not gone well for the young American nation. The Summer of 1814 had seen the British sapture Washington and burn the federal buildings. But from the British point of view, Baltimore, with its many corn mercial enterprises and well-stocked warehouses, was a more tempting prize.

Untlike Washington, however , Baltimore had prepared for an attack — from land or sea — with Fort McHenry blocking the British from water access to the city.

About a week before the bombardment, Ivey and a U. S. agent for arranging prisoner transfers Failed from Baltimore on a sloop and visited the commander of a British fleet aboard his flagship in Chesapeake Bay. Key's mis-ion was to arrange the 'release of a physician who had been taken prisoner. The Americans were unaware that the ifleet was on its way to attack Baltimore. After some negotiating, the British officer agreed to release the doctor. Since Key and his party now knew of the impending attack, they were ordered to return to their sloop and remain anchored behind the British ships, which had taken position in

It was during those early hours of the second morning of the battle that Key, filled with pride and later, relief — took an old letter from his pocket and began to jot down the words of "The Star-Spangled 'Banner." Whil'le 'returning toBaltifnore that day , he added more lines to his Poem, and that evening', it is said, he revised and Ompiloted his original draft at a Balti• More inn. The next morning Key showed the verses to his brother-in. law, Judge Joseph H. Nichol , on; who was so impressed by the depth of feeling that he took the poem to the printing shop of a newspaper: there it was set in type, printed on handbills, and distributed' in the • streets as a morale-booster for the citizens of Baltimore. The poem suited the spirit of the porritace„ especially when someone discoVered that its meter fitted a popular tune of "the day, "To Anacrebnin Heaven," Written by the English comp oser, John-Stafford Smith.

Over the decades, the song steadily grew in popularity, until, more than a century later, many Americans considered it the nation's best patriotic song.

In 1931,, Congress officially designated "The Star-Spangled Banner" as our national anthem.

Fort McHenry shows its five-point star con7truction, typical of fortifications of its era. Located at the tip of the narrow peninsula that separates the North West Branch and main estuary of the Patapsco River, the !fort guarded access to Baltimore's harbor facilities. Today, Fort McHenry is a popular tourist point and attracts as Many visitors as the Statue of Liberty does. Some of the fort's buildin gs are museums and house exhibits relating to the War of 1812, including a large mural 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, by artist George Gray. It pictures Aerial view of

• First, the maize and then the corn was ready! When we got through with that the cotton was ready to be defoliated so it would be ready for the stripping machine. So now it's all gathered and I must say we were blessed with a bountiful harvest -- all the crops made real good.

I must say that since we built our new hall things are looking up. We are getting more of our young folks interested in our SPJST. Since we opened our new hall last October 20th our entertainment has been well attended by the kind of people we like to see come out and enjoy themselves.

On August 9th, we had the privilege of having the Youth Achievement and Activities Day of District Two here at Holland, which was well attended. All present had a nice time, we hope.

SCHOOL DROPOUTS CAN BE REDUCED Reducing the number of school dropouts is a big job, yet it can be accomplished by adequate programs of guidance, training and plasement, says Patsy Reynolds, Extension Service specialist in family life education.

Great Britain has only one-fifth the unemployment rate for 15-to-19-yearolds as the United States has. And in this nation, skilled, mobile, educated workers who are qualified for , new lictds of work are in dema,nd,,the specialist says.

Planners for rural youth must consider that occupations change as new jobs develop and old ones disappear.

These resulting new occupations are more complex.

Three ways which might help change the levels achieved by young people, Miss Reynolds says, are:

Notes

SPIS — SLOVAK TREASURE HOUSE Spis is the name of a region at the foot of the High Tatra Mountains in northern Slovakia. Visitors to these parts are often unaware that the gently rolling countryside below the bluish mountain ranges, with its fertile fields, deep evergreen forests, and attractive villages and towns has, during its history, reached heights of cultural expression, which chaglenge the soaring Tatras themselves. This cultural and historical arena in the Carpathian massif has not only its own individualistic charm, but it is a veritable treasury of artistic creativity, a living testimonial to the architectural achievements of our ancestors.

Its geographical position and natural and historical conditions predestined the Spis Region to develop along specific lines and also influenced, in large measure, the region's cultural growth.

As far back as the Neolithic Age, men settled in the vicinity of Drevenik, where a certain kind of stone was abundantly available which enabled these primitive peoples to fashion

25 enough tools and weapons to ensure their survival. The Celts and Teutons) also inhabited this area and successfully exploited its mineral resources.

But it remained for the Slav tribes to settle the country permanently and establish a number of well-consolidated agricultural settlements. In the early Middle Ages, Slovakia's economic development as a result of its importance as a "gateway to Hun,gary" — attracted thousands of people from other parts of Europe, from the Rhineland and what is today Belgium and mainly from nearby Silesia. By 1200 A.D. the Spis Region had a great many compact communities which enjoyed considerable judicial, ecclesiastical and economic autonomy. Spis Castle, seats offs the royal authority, protected the entire region from invasion and van-, dalism from abroad. The invasion of the Tartars in 1241 temporarily impeded the region's steady progress. But when peace was restored in the latter half of the 13th centur y , this rich, Band entered a new period of economic prosperity which lasted far more than a century. This was a time of architectural !flowering: a number of fine: Romanesque and Gothic buildings were built here, including the Romanesque church of the Spis Chapter, Spis Castle with its fine white Romanesque palace and mighty keep and other splendid Gothic-style churches in newly founded townships. The prosperity of the burghers, the skills of, local! artisans and the inspiration of artists and sculptors Nought forth works of lasting value, many of which decorated the interiors of churches. The region's 150 Gothic altars give an indication of its importance in terms of cultural maturity. Probably no other region of Czechoslovakia constitutes so rich a storehouse of Gothic art. During the 15th and 16th centuries, exports of Slovak copper, Hungarian wines and other products were transported through the towns of Spis and their burghers carried on lively trade with other European states, bringing the region increased prosperity. Many fine burgers' homes, pa qatial residences and splendid ecclesiastical buildings were built during this Renaissance period.

The centuries that followed were kind as far as economic and cultural progress were concerned. During the 17th century — when the balance of trade shifted towards the • west, and when competition with overseas countries made itself felt in the region — Spis felt the repercussions, yet by no means did it stagnate. Baroque art at

26 the hands of local sculptors and artists"-r embellished the interiors of churches, Every type of art . has flourished in the Spis Region. Rich copper deposits in _Slovakia .(large quantities of . . copper Were exported Yia..Spis to the Baltic countries) ,gave rise. here to a thriving. ceoperdasting industry which served theWhOle, of eastern Slovakia with bells, aspergilhims and other productsCabinet-making was highly advanced here.

Goldsmiths, too, have left us many pre/ants specimens of their art.

Yards and Gardens "FADING OUT" MAY BE CAUSING

. LAWN DECLINE , Unsight.17, dead . spots in St. Augustine ,grasii May be clue to disease Called "Fading Ont." reports C. Wendell Horne, ExtensiOn plant pathologist, Texas .A. and M.. UniverSitY. This disease, most destructive during hot, humid weather, tends to be a problem more often where grass is in a weakened condition from cirouth or improper fertilization and watering.

Even though lawns receive good care, Horne points out that some important factors may -be lacking-without the homeowner's awareness.

Vt8TNTIC Symptoms of fading out appear first as irregular yellowish-brown areas. As the _disease progresses, Horne says the grass is killed in small spots which merge to form dead areas a foot or more in diameter.

Several fungal organisms acting together usually kill the stolons as well as the ,grass blades, explains the pathologist. .Large brown to black spots may appear on the stolons, Dead leaves are rather difficult to remove from the runners, as, opposed to symptoms of Brown Patch, another disease common in St. Augustine grass.

Fungicides such as Acti-dione Thiram, Captan or zineb will control fading out, says Horne. Manufacturers' irecommendations should be followed carefully and applications are advised when the disease first develops.

Horne points out that proper mowing and adequate fertilization and Watering 'sill keep the grass vigorous and aid in preventing disease development. Also, old grass clippings should not be allowed to build up into a thick layer.

---SPJSTZINNIAS DRENCH GARDENS WIT!!

COLOR AND SPARKLE

By A. F. DeWerth Professor of Floriculture Texas A. and M. University One of the most popuqar flowers for a colorful garden is the zinnia. To get your gardening program into full swing next spring, start planning now and consider this annual as a"must" for color.'

Zinnias are emily grown from seed and bloom in only six to eight weeks.

They continue to produce show y blooms during the entire summer.

Since zinnias can be sown outdoors -.7ith great success, they can be planted in the ground where they are to grow" as soon as the soil becomes warm in the spring. A warm sunny location is best.

Seeds should ,be planted about onefourth inch deep and about four inches apart. Keep the soil moist but not wet, and do not let it dry out until the seedlings emerge. Then keep the soil rather dry and thin out the seedlings, leaving them eight to 18 inches apart depending upon the ty pe p lant being grown.

As soon as the first flower bud is produced, pinch it off so that the plant will develop lateral shoots and produce a bushy plant with numerous flowers.

Since zinnias require large quantities of water, soak well, watering below the foliage to keep the leaves dry and to avoid mildew.

Wednesday, September, 9, 1964 There are many kinds and types of zinnias in a wide range of colors and varieties. While the horticultural forms are myriad, the average gardener will have a general knowledge of what is available from the following groups.

Cupid zinnias are the dwarfest and most compact type, seldom growing more than 12 inches tall.

However, Mexican zinnias grow slightly taller, reaching from 12 to 15 inches. Rowers range from double to semi-double to single and are small, usually never more than 1 1/2 inches in diameter. "Old Mexico" and "Persian Carpet" are All American winners in this class.

Liliput zinnias are compact, freely branching plants that grow 15 to 18 inches high and are very useful fot bedding and low flower borders. They have small double flowers about two inches across.

Pumila types are sometimes called Out-and-Come-Again zinnias. They produce long stems on plants that grow about two feet tall, the flowers being two and one-half to three inches in diameter. Some widely grown varieties are Peppermint Stick which has striped petals and Salmon Rose'which has deep salmon pink flowers.

Another type is the Cactus-flowered zinnia which grows three to four feet high in Texas gardens. It produces shaggy flowers reaching four to five inches in diameter with the quilled tubular patals curled upward.

Tetra Giant Double zinnias produce very large flowers six to seven inches in diameter. They reach a height of about two feet and are excellent bedding plants.

The most common and widely grown zinnias are perhaps the Giant Double type. They produce giant double flowers on plants about three feet tall.

Some of the most favored varieties are Scarlet Flame, Golden Dawn, Canary Bird (yelloW), Fnchantress (pink) and Purity (white).

Taller types provide a good background in the garden. Those of medium height provide good color in ninny spots in flower borders while shorter kinds are effective as large-scale groimd covers or for edgings.

All the various types of zinnias, small, medium or large, are excellent for'fuse as cut-fowers arid will last for at least live or six days with proper care. However, the flowers should be well opened before they are cut Zinnias are dependable and will produce quantities of flowers all Season long.

For The Housewife SEPTEMBER PLENTIFUL FOODS Three choices of meat, a selection of vegetables and a fruit are your plentiful foods selection for September, according to the Texas Extension Service.

The list, prepared by the Agricultural Marketing. Service, features beef, fresh prunes, broilers, turkey and late-summer vegetables.

Although beef production in recent weeks has been somewhat below record levels set earlier this year, beef is still in big supply. And consumer prices continue attractive. Since September is "Better Breakfast Month," try serving steak for breakfast.

Another good breakfast item is fresh Italian prunes. Almost half again as many prunes will be available as were produced last year. Oregon, one of the three big prune-producing states, is predicting a crop three times as large as in 1963, Tart (fresh prunes are just the thing for sleepy back-to-schoolers.

Look for a wide variety of fresh vegetables during September. Tomatoes, onions, lettuce, snap beans and cabbage likely will be plentiful in more markets. There will be a good supply of other vegetables, too.

An estimated five per cent more broiler-fryers coming to market over a year ago should put attractive consumer prices in prospect for Septem ber.. Prices last September were the second lowest on record.

Turkey, too, will be abundant. Midsummer marketings ran 18 per cent higher than a year earlier; refrigerated holdings are about the same. And ready-to-cook turkey prices encourage frequent use.

Accept an invitation to healthful, economical eating. serve September plentifuls often.

MORE JOBS FOR WOMEN More and more women area engag ing in part-time work as the number of women in the labor market increases..

One out of every three women who had paid jobs at any time last year worked on. a part-time or part-year basis, says Mrs. Wanda Meyer, EXtension Service home management specialist at Texas A. & M. University.

For many women, part-time work has one big drawback: Most part-time jobs tend to be on the routine side.

However, a new study by the Alumnae Advisory Center, Inc., a non-profit

27

172STNfK educational organization that assists college women in looking for jobs, suggests that interesting and responsible jobs can be fotund with some careful digging.

Mrs. Meyer suggests that a good place to start is with companies where a good part of responsible full-time jobs are held by women.

Many retail stores, for example, hire women with merchandising experience as section supervisors on a part-time basis. If one has office skills, or just intelligence and personal stability, it might be rewarding to check with local banks, insurance companies, public utilities, and other major employers of clerical workers.

A person with good basic education and poise — but no special job skills — might want to investigate the wide range of sales jobs open to part-time workers. Women who like to keep their work schedule flexible often find good opportunities in outside sales work -for example, with "party plans" or as representatives of magazine subscription and cosmetics• companies.

Most part-time jobs can help build up Social Security credits. In addition, most employers make available group life and health insurance coverage to part-time workers.

-SPJSTBETTER BREAKFAST TIPS.

So many people who do not eat breakfast will give as a reason "I don't have time." Now — if you're in a hurry (though good health surely is worth 30 minutes of your time) try these: Banana Milk Mash 1/2 to 1 whole banana, add 1 egg, 1 cup milk and 1 tazlespoon sugar. Beat until well blended; pour into a tall glass; sprinkle with cinnamon. Add a roll, toast or mqf fin and here's a goad breakfast.

For variations change the banana to any fruit of your choice.

Mocha. Punch: Combine 1 egg, 1 tablespoon instant cocoa, 1 tablespoon instant coffee, 1 tablespoon ugar, and 1 cu p milk; beat until well blended.

Pour into a tall glass. Add fruit and a bread and here's a quick and nutritious breakfast.

Now if time is not your problem but you just don't like breakfast try this: Plan your menu around a favorite dish, even though it is a dish not usually found on a breakfast menu. Juist make sure it is a good protein and energy food.

Try this: Half grapefruit, tomato rabbit on toast -- coffee or milk.

Recipe: Tomato rabbit for two servings heat a can of condensed to-

mato soup with. 1 cup shredded process American. Cheese, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, dash of Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup milk. Stir until cheese melts. Pour over toast.
