• AbYchom pochopili velkY yYznam tohoto pamatneho dne, je nutna mala

4 exkurse do historic 14. stoleti naroda eeskeho. Po smrti Vaclava III, poslednilio maskeho potomka Ceskeho kralovskeho rodu premyslo ycu r. 1306, nastoupili na CeskY trim nemeeti habsburkove. Premyslovci "po meei", t. j. muZiti potomci vymreli, a zbyli jen, jak se tenkrat rikalo "po preslici", t. j.

Ceske princezny. Tehdejii diplomacie kralovskYcla rodu yyZ'adovala, aby se princezny provdaly na panovniky ii-; nYch zemi evropskYch, a tak easto Ceske princezny se scaly rnanZelkami kraltr nemeckYch, francouzskYch a anglickYch. Tim se east° zabranilo valce mezi jednotlivYmi zememi, protole panovnicke rody byly zpriznene.

Po vYmreni muZske vetve premyslovsnem eeskYch stavn, ktery by odpovidal dneinimu parlamentu, mel pravo si volit sveho panovnika.

Rod premysloveu vymrel CeskYm kralem Vaclavem III, ktery byl soueasne kralem polskYm a uherskYm. Byl ne zavraZden r. 1306 v Olomouci, kdYZ se chystal na valeenou vYpravu do Polska, aby potlaeil vzporu. Slava mocneho Ceskeho rodu Prenayslo ycil byla u konce.

Roku 1306 si zvolili eeiti stavove za krale Jindricha, nemeckeho vevodu Korutanskeho, manZela Ceske princezny Army, sentry krale Vaclava III. Potom nastoupili nemecti Lucernburkove, z nich Karel IV., syn Jana Lucemburskeho a Ceske Eli4ky Prernyslovny, byl sotreasne kralem CeskYrn, cisarem nenlock in a kralem italskYrn. Byl vice 6ech nezli Nemec a cely svuj zivot ztravil v Praze. By]. nazYvan Otcem viasti a zemrel oplakavan celYm narodem. Po Lucemburcich nastoupila polska, dynastie Jagailo ycli, a v 16. stoleti nastoupili trvale na frith Habsburkoye. Jenom2e viichni panovnici techto rodu nebyli tak dobri jako Karel IV., a Ceti stavove se east° bouidli, aby uhajili sve prava nezavisle koruny Ceske.

Roku 1621 se takovY jcden odboj Ceskemu narodu stal osudnYrn. NemeckY cisar porazil Ceske voisko na Bile Hore. — Narod ztratil svou nezavislost. Od to doby si sve krale stavove uz nemohli volit. a cisafove nemeeti nastupovali automaticky na eeskY7 trim Za vladv prednosledniho cisare n6meckeho Frant rSka Josefa, (1848-1916) byl CeskY narod utiskovan.

V teto dobe obrozeni naroda Ceske jrneno proslavilo mnoho vynikajicich basniku, jako Jan Neruda, Svatopluk Lech, Jaroslay Vrchlicky, Julius Zeyer K. J. Erben a jini.

Z filosofti: Masaryk, Radel a Kedravek. V politickYch vedach vynikli: PalackY, Masaryk a Rieger. Z cestovatelti Korensky.

Na sklonku vlady cisare Frantiika Josefa se dostalo Rakousko do sporu se Srbskem. Naslednik rakouskeho trunu Franttiek Ferdinand byl zavrakien v Sarajeve r. 1914. Rakousko vYpoveclelo valku Srbsku. Tak poeala dlouho phpravovana valka, ktera strhla temer celY svet do valky. Proto ji rikame svetova valka.

Narod eeskY za svetove valky vvtrpel mnoho od rakouskYch Arad& Zalare se pinili CeskYmi lidmi. Ceske spolky byly rozpuiteny, noviny zastaveny, ale narod vytrval ye svem odboii. Cesti vojaci opouiteli rakouskou armada a de,vali se dobrovolne zajimat. MnohYm pracovnikUm jako Masaryku se podarilo uprchnout za hranice, aby tam organisovali eeskY odboj. V Rusku se poCabo tvorit 'Ceske narodni vojsko (legie), ktere se vyznamenalo v mnoha bitvach, hlavne u Zborova. Prof. Masaryk se sam odebral do Ruska, aby Ceskoslovenske logic byly uznany od zahraniCnich mocnosti za spojenecke vojsko.

Zatim nastal v Rusku bolievickY prevrat a nail legionari obsadili Sibir za boia s bolieviky. 'deskoslovenske legie bojovaly ye Francie, Italli a tak primely k nail samostatnosti. Tisicove hrdinfr krvacelo za vlast na evropskych bojiitich, vzdaleni rodne zeme, za nail samostatnost. Vykonaly dilo, na ktere

Ve stredu dne 28. fijna 1964 bude historic patrit s UZasem. Toto jejich dilo zasluhuje, abychom se Uctou vzpominali zemrelych legionaru.

V Rakousku veci spely rychle ke konci. Rakouske armady byly poraZeny. Rakousko kapitulovalo a 28. Nina 1918 se ujal vlady nad CeskYmi zememi Ndrodni VYbor. Tornai Garigue Masaryk byl zvolen prvnim presidentem republiky eeskoslovenske. Vratil se pa 4 letech vyeerpavajici prace v exilu.

Odeiel v 64 letech aby zaeal pracovat pro narod za hranicemi. Vraci se po 4 letech jako vitez, a Cesky basnik Viktor Dyk ho oslavil basni, ktera byla prednesena v Narodnim divadle k jeho uvitani.

Po chodhe kliniky chodi sestry i lekari po Apieka.ch, mnohem net je v nemocnicich zvykem. Co se deje za dvermi ordinace?? K Cemu je treba ten naprostV klid?

(The following is a reprint of an historical article I prepared a year ago and published in the Vestnik. It bears repeating. Memories are short. /;, need to re-read things of this sort, just as we need to re-examine other milestones in history. — Editor).

On the 28th of October 1918, the Czechoslovak people gained their freedom and independence from the German Hapsburg ruling dynasty and 300 years of its rule. On this date, a "de facto" National Committee assumed the power of government on the soil of a new Czechoslovakia. At last, the people were free. Pride and joy ran free in the hearts of all Czech people everywhere. The formal "de jure" Czech government came into existence on November 16 in 1918, when the National Assembly met and elected Thomas G. Masaryk as its first president. A dream of a century had become a reality.

In Anterca, where Thomas Masaryk had come from Russia in April of 1918, Secretary of ,State Robert Lansing issued an announcement procaiming AMerica's sympathies with the rights and aims of Czechoslovaks and Yugosla y s regardng their independence. In Versailles, France, on the 3rd of June, the governments of France, England, and Italy announced their official approval of the Lansing statement, and their acceptance of its aims. Dr. Benes and Gen. Stefanik had been negotiating with these governments about the acceptance of a free and independent Czechoslovak government, now that World War I was rapidly coining to an end. At a ceremony turning over the colors of the Czechoslovak armed forces in France to the Czechs, Foreign Minister Pichon formally declared that France regards an independent Czechoslovak state as a fact, and that France further regards the Czechoslovak National Council as the highest governmental body of the new state. and as a basis for the future Czech

TRUTH CONQUERS

government. T h r o u g h negotiations, Benes was also successful in getting the government of Great Britain to announuJ, on August 9th, that it considered ezechotovakla on the side of the Allies, its armed force, outside Czechoslovakia. as Allied forces, and the National Council as the bonafida future Czechoslovak government. This announcement was confirmed on September 3rd by an agreement signed by Benes and Robert Cecil, which gave the Czechoslovak National Council the authority to appoint diplomatic representatives in London. It also gave it the right to send representatives to Allied conferences at which Czechoslovak. interests would be discussed and to conclude economic loans with Great Britain. At about the same time, Prof. Masaryk got the U. S. government to recognize the Czechoslovak National Council as the de facto Czech government. An agreement soon followed with the governments of France, on September 28th, wherein France committed herself to support the reestablishment of Cechoslovakia within its former historic boundaries. On October 3rd, Orlando, in the name of

the Italian government, announced his government's recognition of the National Council.

• • The actual reestablishment of the Czechoslovak state was now only a matter of time, and the only thing left to be done was to prepare the czcehoslovak people to assume the role of governing themselves and deciding their own fate and future.

• • The Czechoslovak National Committee was formed in Prague on July 13th, 1918 as the highest organ of the Czechoslovak government. Its chairman became Dr. Kramar; Svehla and Klofac were elected as Vice Chairmen and Dr. Soukup as Administrative Secretary. This 38-member National Committee was the basis for the future revolutionary and constitutional National Assembly. Its main task was to prepare the way for the revolutionary takeover at the appropriate time.

In order to accomplish this it was necessary to set up local national committees all over Czech° tiovakia.

Czech representatives in Vienna were concertedly berating the outdated policies of the Hapsburg monarchy. The leader's in the royal ruling circles were blind and unreceptive to Czech demands and pursued unreasonable internal policies and fought the victorious revolt again , t the monarchy.

On the 29th of September, the National Committee announced that they wanted no more favors from Vienna.

On October 2nd, the Viennese parliament announced drastic maximum measures. Particularly noticed was the threat of Stanek, who stated that Vienna would insist on having representatives of the Czechoslovak Brigades as the legitimate spokesmen at the peace conference table. On October 4th, the Viennese government requested President Wilson for an armistice.

On October 12th the Czechs rejected a proposal for a federation of states within the Hapsburg monarchy in a

VtSTNIK

meeting with the Austrian emperor, and insisted on the creation of a separate and independent Czechoslovak state without delay.

• • Decisive events befan happening one after another. On October 14th, Dr. Benes announced to the Allies the creation of a temporary Czechoslovak .government and the naming of diplomatic repee entatives throughout the various capitr),s. He anouneed that Prof. Masaryk had been elected as temporary president and finance minister, Dr. Benes himself as foreign minister and minister of the interior, and Dr. Stefanik as mini ter of war.

On October 16)th, EMpe r or Charles issued. a manifesto about the transition of Austria from a monarchy to unified state without mentioning the status af the Czech territories (Hungary). The Czech nation, through their National Committee, rejected this manifesto on October 19th.

• • It was too late for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The war thwarted the emperor's efforts to save the monarchy; on October 18th, Masaryk issued a statement proclaiming the independence of the Czechoslovak people, known to the nation and world later as the Washington Declaration.

• In Masaryk's proclamation, it was asserted that the Czechoslovak state would be a repubriic. The same day, President Wilson replied to the peace proposal of the Austro - Hungarian government. In his reply, he stated that the fate of the Austro-Hungarian empire was now in the hands o!f the 'Czechoslovaks and Yugosla ys. In the meantime, other Allied governments had extended recognition to the temporary Czech government, and the future of their nation was in the hands of the people themselves.

• • For the future Czechoslovak state, it was important that representatives of Carpatho-Ruthenia attend the Conference of Smaller Nations of Central Europe, held in Philadelphia from October 23rd to 26th, at which they read the announcement of G. Zatkovic to the effect that Carpatho-Ruthenia would join the Czechoslovak state as a separate administrative entity. Zatkovic later became the first governor, or administrator, of the small territory.

The atmo;.phere in Prague was charged with much excitement and jubilation. Vienna's helpless plight and eminent collapse was further evidenc-

ed by the issuance of exit permits to the corps of Czetth ,diplomats to Switzerland. There they were to meet with the variou. ,, leaders of the foreign revolution. Delegates Kramar, Klofac, Stanek, Habrman, and Katina., escorted

by DT. Samal, PreifiH, and ,Svaboda, left Vienna cn the 24th and 25th of October to center with Bones in Geneva. In Geneva, it was agreed that the new Czechoslovak state would have a republican form of government. It was in Geneva. that they learn-led of events of recent days in Prague, and of the reply to Wilson of Foreign Minister Andrassy, in which he told the President that the Austro-Bungarian government concurred with him in the creation of an independent Czech state, of the rights of the Czech people, and that it was prepared to enter in peace negotiations immediately.

• • Prague circles interpreted the Viennese action as the final capitulation, and the National Committee assumed the temporary reigns of government, and on October 28th PROCLAIMED T H P INDEPENDENCE OF THE CZECHOSLOVAK STATE. This then, was the date the Czech people at home heard of their formal independence, The leaders of the National Committee, Svehla, Rasin, Stribrny, Slovak, Soukup, and Srobar, displayed by their actions an energetic body, and effected the transition Of a new state into a. new era. Slovakia declared itself in favor of a unified Czechoslovak state through its representatives who formed the Slovak National Council, in an asseml)y at Turcansky Svaty Martin on October 30th, with Matus Die la as their chairman. In the next few days, the Austro-Hungarian and German Fronts collapsed. German-Hungarian imperalism came to an end.

• • During these historic days, when a new Europe was being carved out of the remains of war, the . first National As sembly met in Prague on November 14th, and proclaimed the new state a republic, and elected Thomas Masaryk their first President, and installed the first government, with Dr. Kramar as prime minister. The war was over and the new and independent Czechoslovak tate took its place among the free nations of the world. A dream of a hundred years finally came true.

(Note: for the Czech language version of these events, and pictures of the leaders of (Ins movement, please

Wednesday, October 26, 1964 consult the beginning of the Czech section of this issue. — Editor).

• • In ord.c.r to better understand the foregoing series al events and the significance of the times, it might be well to take a short excursion into the history of the Czech people in the 14th century. After the death of Vaclav III, the last of the Czech Premysl dynasty rulers, the German Hans-long ruling family assumed the throne in 1306.

Premysl male heirs to the throne died out and only princesses remained.

The diplomacy and proton), of the noble families of those days required that the princesses marry rulers of other Earopean countries. so that Czech princesses frequently became the brides of German, French and English nobility. These various matrimonial unions ;frequently prevented wars among the European powers, because relatives were not as prone to battle.

• • After the death of all the Czech Premysl heirs the assembly of Czech states, roughly comparable to the parliaments of the world today, inherited the right to name their own rulers.

The Czech Premysl line of rulers came to an end with the death of Vaclav III, who was also the Polith and Hungarian king. He was assassinated in Olomouc in 1306, just as he was preparing to pint down resistance in Potend. The glory of the Czech Premysl rulers came to an abrupt end. The assembly of Czech states then elected as their king the German Duke Heinrich (Henry), husband of the Czech princess Ann and sister of Vaclav III. He was followed by the German Luxemberg rulers, of which Karl (Charles) IV, son of John Luxemburg and the Czech princess Eliska Premysl, was simultaneouAy the Czech king, the German emperor, and king of Italy.

He was more Czech than he was German and spent most of his time in Prague. He was called "father" of his country, and died being mourned by the whole nation.

After the Luxemburg dynasty, the Polish dynasty Jagailov came to the throne, and in the 16th century the Hapsburg rulers came to the throne.

All the members of this ruling family were not as benevolent as Charles IV, and the Czech states frequently revolted in order to maintain the right to a separate Czech crown. One such revolt was an historic and decisive and fateful one: the Battle of White Mountain, when the German emperor de-

Wednesday, October 28, 1964 feated Czech, armies in 1620. The Czechs lost their standing as a separate entity and the Czech states, from that date on, could not choose their rulers. German kings and rulers ascended to the throne automatically.

(The German King Ferdinand led his forces against the Czechs during this furious encounter. This series of events also launched the Thirty Years' War, which iinaLy ended in 1648).

•

During the period just before the reign of Emperor Franz Josef, the Czechs were harshly oppressed. The period gave birth to such leaders 2,,z Dobrovsky, Jungman, Puchmajer, Krameris, and others. Thanks to the_e writers and scholars, phamphlets and newspapers were ,distributed to every village and hamlet in the, country, exhorting them to higher ideals and fervent patriotism. Books were published, exchanged, loaned and passed around, and the Czech spirit became awakened. It gradualy came to life.

The spirit of nationalism grew in the flames of patriotism and national feeling. CZech books, afloat in a sea of German ideas, worked their magic influence. Without there Czech writers and scholars, the Czech people would haaz e been completetiy Germanized. The people were coming to life after 600 years of Germanism and 300 years of oppression. To these Czech patriots belongs the undying respect and honor of ages to come. They paved the way to freedom and liberty. Unfortunately, most of them did not live to see or witness this birth of freedom, because the 28th of October came almost a hundred years later. Thanks to the Czech press and publications, Czech art, cuPiture, and knowledge were able to survive even the harshest German measures.

A number of Czech poets and writers contributed, in large measure, to this rebirth, this regeneration of nationalism. Among them were: Jan Neruda, Svatopluk Cech, Jaroslav Vrchlicky, Julius Zeyer, K. J. Erben, and others.

The outstanding poets were Otakar Brezina, Petr Bezruc, and J. S. Machar.

Novelists were Bozena Nemcova, Vacla y Benes-Trebizsky, Karel V. Rais, Alois Jirasek, and the Mrstik brothers.

The famous painters were Manes, Mikulas Ales, J. Uprka, and J. Kalvoda.

Sculptors were 1\ifyAlbek and.

Composers were Smetana, Dvorak, L. Janacek; historians were F. Palacky and J. Pekar; philosophers were Masaryk, Radel and Kaderavek; political

VEL;TNI scientists were Palacky, Masaryk, and Rieger; renown traveller was Korensky.

Tawa,:d.s the end of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef, Austria got into a conflict with Serbia. The climax of this trouble was the assissination of Archduke Ferdinand in the Serbian city of Sarajevo in 1914. Austria declared war against Serbia., This was the beginning of World War I, which gradually involved almost all the major nations of the world. Hence the name "world war."

The Czech people suffered much at the hands of their Austrian rulers.

Prisons were lull of Czech prieoners.

Czech orgarilations were dissolved, newspapers closed, but the people persisted in their oposition. Czech soldiers deserted the Austrian Army and allowed themselves to be put in prison.

Many workers and leaders were suece7sfal in, getting out of the country, such as Masaryk, where he and others carried on the struggle to free their homeland. A Czech National Army (Legion) was formed in Russia, and distinguished itself in many battlea, most notably that of Zborov. Masaryk went to Russia personally to see that the Czech Legions were accepted and recognized as A!ilied Forces. After the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia under Lenin, the Czech Legions participated in the occupation of Siberia after battling the Bolsheviks. Czech Legions likewise fought in France, and Italy, thus contributing immewnrably to future Czechoslovak independence. Thousands of untold Czech heroes spilled their blood on various European battlefields far removed from their homeland. They ptlayed a role which history must set .aide as a special and great accomplishment.

The y deserve our respect and rememberance. Remember the Czech Legions!

In Austria and throughout its empire, things were coming to a rapid close. Austrian armies were being defeated on every front. Austria capitulated on October 28th, 1918, and the Czechoslovak National Committee assumed the powers of government on home soil. Masaryk came back after four years of exile to be elected first president of the newly-born republic.

His return was riotously greeted by the entire Czech nation. The Czech poet, Viktor Dyk, wrote a special poem, dedicated to Masaryk upon his triumphant return. (Poetry is extremely difficult

13 to translate, and I would not even attempt to tamper with the words of such a master. Poet Dyk's poem can be fond in the Czech section. If your Czech is not good enough, you should have someone who is proficient in the language to road and explain the poem to you.

What has happened in and to Czechoslovakia since 1918 has now been recorded in the annals of history. Even during this period, the Czech nation and its people have suffered much. It may be small comfort, but surely the Czech people have, as a resatt of all their struggles, learned to rely less upon their "friends" and more upon theineelves. There is no need to repeat the, oft-heard Czech lament, "we are but a small nation!"

According to the poet, Otakar Brezina, a nation and its people is the SUM total of its dead, its living, and the yet unborn, and Czechs belong to the group which, since the days of Cyril and IVIethodiaas, surge on toward eventual triumph. An ancient Chinese proverb, recently widely quoted, states that even a trip of a mullion miles must begin with that first step. The Cechoslovak people must take that first step with the realization that freedom and liberty are the sweetest of all possessions, and will be forfeited only by a nation that is not aware of WHO they are and WHAT they want.

TRUTH WILL PREVAIL! • • After the tempest of wrath has passed the rule of the country will return to thee, G Czech people.

The hospitality of the lodge officers and members was wonderful and I thank them for the courtesies extended me during my visit, I wish the lodge continued growth; may their youth program expand, and perhaps, in a few years, the lodge can own and operate their own lodge building.

SOKOL HOUSTON

Dear Members and Friends: Our annual Sokol Circus will be held this week on Sunday, November 1st at about 3:30 in the afternoon. This is one of our most attended programs; therefore, make plans to come early so that you can get a good seat. We are limited in our seating since the program is presented on the inside and our facilities are small. Many of our

Wednesday, October 28, 1964 customers had to watch from outside last year, and this year we expect even a larger crowd. The program will be very colorful with a circus theme.

There will be clowns, muscle men, beautiful ladies performing daring acts, tumbting, laughter and comics.

Barbecued beef, pork, and chicken will be served starting at noon and our price remains $1 per plate for adults.

This will be the last barbecue of the year and also the last program until next spring. The popular Lad Pavelka Orchestra will entertain you with a free dance !following the circus.

Afte: the current month, we will again make those tasty and delicious jaternice (liver sausage). We have already had requests for sales and you will remember that the past jaternice sale in March of this year, we were at maximum production. We will definitely make the sausages in December so that you may use them as gifts to your customers or friends. We also anticipate a possible sausage sale in November, depending on the weather and how soon Old Man Winter arrives. We need a cold norther to make the jaternice, because we use an old country process which requires low temperatures for cooling and preserving the product.

Make plans to bring the !family on November first. Our program is entertaining to all ages and especially the children. See you at the circus!

Notes

PLAY ABOUT CIVIL WAR GIVES FULLER KNOWLEDGE OF THE TURBULENT AND TRAGIC YEARS OF AMERICA; PREPARES US TO FACE THE FUTURE When Desiree Garment, in the new full-length drama entitled "So Brittle the Sword — so Fragile the Heart," says: "Oh the world, the world that it is! Oh, the divided heart of it, the twisted soul, the bitter and the sweet and the dark and the Hight. All is turned to iron and clay and blood and tears. Love itself is turning to pain," she could have been talking about today.

Perspective Needed Today Mankind always needs perspectives, and never more than when it has emerged from some shattering convulsion. "Today," stated the 46-year-old author of the play, Jerry F. Chmelicek, "we Americans need a fuller knowledge of the past, the better to face the future. To illuminate our national record, this play was written about the Civil War." Play Has Message for Today Today a dreadful malady is taking its toll, because of factors like technological progress upon the settled order of families, class and community.

"Looking about you," continued the playwright of several successful plays, "we seem to be last in a universe where the meaning of life and of the social order have to be invented and discovered as well as experimented with and each lonely individual is left to his own interpretation. The young genera-

VASTNf K tion is the one which is most poignantly touched with this sickness, this groping for security and meanings which would define a more peaceful future, frae from tyranny and made up of more certainties."

Unforgeta,ble Moments In Store "So Brittle the Sword — So Fragile the Heart," which will have its premiere on Sunday, March 21, 1965 at the Sokol Havlicek-Tyrs Hall, 26th St. and Lawndale Ave., Chicago, is a vivid and intensely absorbing play which has promise of stirring the audience with its virile force. The scenes are painted with strong, sweeping strokes and the insight given to the characters will leave unforgettable moments in the minds of those who see it.

The Oily will be presented by the Drama Club of the Czechoslovak Society of America, which meets at the CSA Building, in Cicero, Illinois. It is a non-profit group of Thespians who have given us many fine plays over a period of 30 years.

Free Civil War Brochures The play points the way, so to speak, in today's turbulent era. It shows how over a century ago our nation found its soul in honor on the fields of Gettysburg. It has a love story interwoven that is absorbing and tenderly moving.

Curtain wilt be at 2 p.m. Various booklets about the Civil War will be given at the door free to those who attend the premiere performance, many illustrated with pictures of the period and valuable to all students and Civil War buffs. Admission is only $1.00.

The play wit be given in Czech for its initial performance and a translation in English later on.

Officers of the CSA Drama Club are: President, Marie Bohac, 1909 South East Ave., Chicago; Vice-President, Joseph Florian, 2832 South Millard Ave., Chicago; Secretary, Joseph Florian, 2403 South Elmwood Ave. Berwyn, and Treasurer, Miss Marie Starman, 2336 South Harvey Ave., Berwyn, Ill. —SPJSTFor

Your Information:

JET-AGE AIRLINE TRAVEL IS SPEEDY — BUT SAFE An average hour of airline travel now carries passengers faster and farther than ever. But the most recent study by the Society of Actuaries shows that an hour of travel on the nation's scheduled airlines is just as safe today as in pre-jet days.

Despite today's higher speeds, according to the Institute of Life Insur-

27 ance, the actuaries found that fatalities in reflation to passenger hours flown were virtually as low in 1962 and '63 as a decade and a half earlier. In both periods, the rate was approximately 0.8 fatalities per million passenger hours. (A passenger hour equals one passenger flown one hour).

The actuaries said not enough data is availabfle to compare the relative safety of jet and propeller airlines.

However, the 1962-63 rate included domestic travel aboard jet and propeller airliners. Since domestic jet airline service started in 1958, the earlier rate did not include any jets.

Based on ,distance traveled, the airtines' safety record has improved substantially. Civil Aeronautics Board records show that, in relation to total passenger miles flown, fatalities ten to fifteen years ago ran several times higher than today. For example, there were 1,.35 fatalities per 100 million passenger miles in 1950, compared with onfly 0.23 fatalities last year.

—SPJSTMIGRANT LABORERS CREATE SPECIAL PROBLEMS Over 130,000 Texans will be busy harvesting the nation's crops from now until the cold bite of winter sends them to their homes in southernmost Texas.

They began their migration early last spring to labor in fields or orchards — wherever they could find work. Whole families pack a few bePlongings and travel in pickups, trucks or buses following their "crew leader" across the country.

This is the migrant way of life . with its many inherent problems.

For example, the typical migrant farm laborer is functionally illiterate — that is, he never attained more than a third-grade education. This problem is perpetuated by the younger generation as the chifidren seldom attend school for more than a six month period.

His home, where he lives less than six months a year, is normally a small structure with little or no plumbing. On the road, following the crops, he and his family Eve wherever they can.

The migrant's way of life makes record keeping almost impossible, but those who have worked closely with these people make the following estimates: The migrant's income averages about $900 a year. His diet, more often than not, consists of beans and tortillas.

Mink is an infrequent treat.

The average migrant never se es a

28

VRSTNfE

doctor during his entire lifetime. His life expectancy is about 30 years.

Obviously, health problems are a major concern of the migrant worker and the communities where he goes.

Tuberculosis and other diseases may be prevalent and go undetected. Immunization schedules — if any — are erratic, and infant mortality soars.

The Texas State Department of Health has underway a statewide project aimed at bettering health service for the migrants. Separate projects are being conducted by Laredo-Webb County, Southwest Texas Region, and Lubbock City-County and PlainviewHale County health departments.
