Belaeek yedel, MC ma easu dost, a proto si obehl jeSte eel* dvtir, zastavil se u psi boudy na kratkY pozdrav se psem Chlapikem, prohnal krocanapteskoeil zou umirajici kvoenu i s kutaty, eichal k oveimu a veptovYm chlivkum, ukousl si mlsne z kvetouci hru gky malou yetvieku, obalenou zelenYm, sveMim li,stim a bilym kvetem, a kdy2 vial, Me uM napojeny valach stoji u voje, eerstva, aby nebylo zle, postavil se k nemu.

Honzik s Franckem pak hned ho zapfahli. Navojnik zapjali na ketizek chomoutu, pfesky oprati spinali a take po prve Belaekovi rozvazali na htbete konopne postranky, natahli je, na main a ovinuli kolem obou konct dievene rozporky.

Ze sYpky ted' vynak. Cimbura obili.

Behaji elle jako yketena, i kalhotky uM nosi, jsou "trouroMei" teprve, ale jsou tak silni, Me kaMdY by jim hadal o rok vice. . .Tahaji ted' Verunku, kflei "hija — hija" a vsi mock chteji ke koniku, k vozu, svezt se, at' uM na koni anebo v kolisku.. .

Jako velebna kneMna vychazi selka s kropenkou pinou svecene vody tkikralove.

"Stoji.S!" vykkikl hned Cimbura Beldeek poslechl. MladSin ka letela otevbfit dokokan branu.

Cimbura stoji rozkroeen na voziku, kemeni dr21 v rukou a na femeni dr2i kone. "Dr2te se," napomina oba hochy sedici za nim na pytlich. . . a pcvoluje kemeni. Jazykem mlaskl a kone vykroeili. Valach moudie, rozvamile. Ale Beldeek bujne skoeil kupiedu a zarazil se. "Co to?" ptaly se jeho velke oei a ohliMely se. Ano, Beldeek je zaptaMen. Nejen drMeni yptedu, ale i dva postranky tad' vzadu poutaji ho k vozu. Chomout zcela jinak na prsa dolehi a Beldeka. maeka.

A neM si to rozmyslil, uM ho hospodak ote2i napomenul• Jaka hanba! Selka se diva, deti hledi nan a Belaeek znovu vykroeil, kolisek zadrkotal a vyjel na naves. Cimbura jede, nepouSti bdeleho oka a novaela, nevidi, jak Tide se zastavuji, neslySi, jak chvali: "Tot' je Min! Jedna radost!"

"NejlepAi kith ve vsi!"

"A bal. jako start. Jako by jakMiv — v kolisku chodil" Beldeek stal se takto za moudreho vedeni tahounem silnYm, vytrvalYm a spolehlivYm, Ikteremu se nevyrovnal Ma.dny jinY. A proto nemohi tahati v paru, ale musil tahati sam. A to se hiebci prave libilo. Jezdil s nim pouze hospodak a zamilovali se navzajem do sebe tak, Me jeden bez druheho um se neobeSel. Cimbura nejel nikdy s parem kobyl, pienechal je Janovi — a kdyM chtel Francek zapfahnouti Beld,eka a pkivezt fizru jeteliny, vyjel s nim zrovna aM za yes. Tam hkebeeek pozdvihl hlavu a rozhledl se kolem, a jako by Francka na voze a uzdy v hube nebylo — hnal se cestou necestou — mani nemani — revue pies meze a pole k Cimburovi, sek ajicimu bujny jetel. .

Tam se pokorne zastavil a popasat so poeal, nedbaje, Me na to caste krkolomite ztratil z vozu Francka, prkna, ba cell zadek vozu — a jen s piedkem sem pkibehl. . .

Na v'Aecky etyki uM ho okovali, a kdy2 Cimbura nan sedl a jel do Hanzlieka vyplavat, tu se zdalo, 2.e se zeme tkese pod kopyty padiciho hkebce. .

Kdekdo se ohliMel za nim a sedlaci znalecky fikali: "Kdy2 km1 pied pluhem a Cimbura za pluhem — tu, kdyby to pluh y ydrZel, ti dva by vyorali brazdu hlubokou jako Blanice, krokou jako Otava, ale rovnou j aka silnice."

Ve stkedu dne 9. prosince 1964 Prato Cimbura se pysnil s Beldekem a pro neho zapomnel na Divokou. Mel rad Marjanku, dabrou a milou Menu svou, mel rad deti po neboMtikovi Piksovi, zylaSte Verunku, mel rad krevni pkatele i stareho Kovandu, ba vgecky lidi miloval, ale jeho "spoleata" a potorn Beldeek, ti tvokili jeho srdci poteSeni. Z tech se kadoval a tend se tkkka honosil, aekoli to chlapctim dim dal, tim mane najevo daval. Vyrostli totim, do etvrteho roku uM ski, a Cimbura si kekl: "Je na ease, aby praci zvykali a mazleni odvykali•" I pkestal s nimi mluvit mekce, Mertovne a mluvil vaMne a rozumne. Vykladal jim a vysvetloval, jmenoval jim v sadu stromy, v poll ptaky a na, louce kvety.

"Mudrce chce z nich udelat," small se mu kratkozraci kdyi zaslechli, co jak Cimbura s hochy hovoii. — A ti byli stale s nim. Jake klifte &tell se otce, v patach mu ski ustaviene, s nim jell na pole, s nim po dvoie chodill, k nernu s kaldou otazkou a zahadou se obraceli a Cimbura ani nestaell vysvetlovat a vykladat. . .

THIS THING CAM-.

FRATERNP.Ei;:il One thing, or aspect, of fr oier life that has been perhaps overlooked in varying degrees and not stressed enough, is the intimate relationship between the individual member of a fraternal organization and the organization itself.

• -• This relationship is indeed, the bond of fraternalism, and was the compelling motive in the minds of those who founded OUT SP1ST at La Grange some 67 years ago. To them this relationship was probably the outstanding feature of the Order they established. (Incidentally, it was on December 28, 1896 that the original group of 25 CzechTexanS met at La Grange for the purpose of establishing a new fraternal order in Texas). True fraternalism is inseparable from the princi ples of human dignity and sovereignty. Stated very very simply this means that each of us demands three things of his fellow man: recognition, appreciation, and affection, or lave. How many people's lives are unhappy and full of depression because no one has appreciated their efforts, or even bothered to acknowledge that they exist? People must be LOVED; they must be WANTED. The cruelest thing that society can do to another felloW being is to isolate him, or i gnore him and p e,y him little nl e.c.ed exor no attention. The ecutives, the most co. : s o. hated, in?x-Ord "meanest" people in ; sist on some sort of recognition and a ckno wiiiidgera ma, The unhappiest youngsters in the world are those who receive no attention or recognition in school, no matter for what reason, or how meager or insignificant their reasons may be.

• • Honest-to-goodness fra does these things. It elevates the human being to his rightful place in society. It shores up his dignity, the personal dignity that is inherently his, Normal

"Foil SUCH AS MESE . . " Would you taste the sweetest joy of Christmas? Then make glad the heart of a child. For where children are, there is the spirit of Christmas. "For such as these," Christmas is the embodiment of all that abideth. And he who keeps Christmas with childhood, walks with faith . . In faith, "Dear ,Santa" is scrawled by tiny fingers. In hope, little stockings are hung by the' chimney with care. Love makes childhood's .drearns come true ... The magic touch of Christmas makes children of us all. It leads us to the very heart of the Day of Days. Through childhood's eye do we behold its eternal beauty. people do, not and cannot live in a vacuum. To act as though no one else existed is against the very nature of man. True, some of us are more outgoing than others, and each of us can, to a certain extent, control or limit our contacts and associations with other humans, but no one can go very far very long without some contact- with other inhabitants of this planet. We tend to function best when our opinions and views are received sympathetically by other's. Maturity helps us to "mellow" and accept more graciously the views of those which differ from oar own.

The one other word that best describes fraternalism is hrotherhood, It is a medium through which we are given the chance to regard ethers with respect and dignity in pursuit of lofty ideals and goals. In short, it is civilized men who seek to know and appreciate their fellow man through mutual coo leration rather than rivalry; understanding latte r. ;. than imornnce; inu• service terest rath m..-1 fuel .jf"' et. The i•:•h the world rather ras c; and we live a more or less stoieutyped mass society, these values remain the same. The problems of a man are still the same. Fraterni-

ties have helped lessen the burden of some of these problems.

Life insurance deals with people. It exists for and because of people. Our policyholders are our most precious commodity. The SRIST is privileged to serve them. Our policyholders are not just a policy number, a claim file, or a hole in a punch card. Who- are our policyholders? They are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunts, business partners, college and high school students, and newborn babies. They vary in size, age, health, occupation, financial position, social status, civic and church leadership, politics, hobbies, habits, likes and dislikes, and disposition. One thing that they do have in common though, and that is that they have an abiding faith and trust in the policies and insurance plans that the SP,TST has to offer. The SPIST is a trusted fraternal institution. People know how quickly we settle claim benefits. People know how we do business and that once we sell them an insurance plan, we remain interested in them. Our relationship is not a cold and impersonal one. Therein lies the big difference between us and commercial companies.

6

Our, policyholders' primary motive for purchasing life insurance with the ISPJST is the unselfish desire to protect their loved ones. Our certificate holders are our most important asset.

The policyholder's most important asset is his ability to provide for his family. The SPJST helps him do just that.

• This Christmas season, review your relationship with your own family circle, especially as it pertains to life insurance. Waiting increases the threat of risk without protection. As the season approaches, our close relationships with our loved ones seem to become even more intimate. Act to protect it as best you can.

12 HEALTHY BIRTH RATE If you're looking for something to be thankful for in these ominous times, consider this: Almost one-half million Texas babies were born hale and alert during the two-year period between September 1962, and August 1964. That adds up to an average of some 665 new babies per day.

For the same time period 165,160 Texans died — representing a ratio of almost three births for every death, a fact clearly worth being thankful for; The figures are revealed in an advanced look at the State Health Department's biennial report soon to be published.

The excess of births over deaths during the two years added some 320,000 people to Texas' population. That increase, together with the influx of newcomers now making their homes in Texas, swelled the population past the 10.3 million mark.

Sirce 1963 infant deaths during the first year of life have dropped from 71 per cent per one thousand births, to less than 30 per thousand today. And during that same period, maternal deaths have been cut from 6.9 per thousand to 0.5, a substantial decrease.

The past biennium also produced these developments: Over 12,000 people changed their names by court order during the twoyear period, and amendments to their birth certificates were duly attached.

More than a quarter of a million people asked for certified copies of their birth records. Just to process these requests required almost a half million trips to the files which now contain more than 14 million records of births and deaths.

And finally, since marriage of the parents of an illegitimate child subsequent to its birth legitimates the child, 2,391 new birth certificates based on legitimations were prepared and filed.

If being able to prove age, citizenship and parentage isn't worth being thankful for, nothing is.

- GPJST— Women At Work Mrs. Josephine Naron is a city girl, but she makes her living out of hay.

For a score of years, the 4-foot, 11inch woman has operated what probably is the largest haymarket in Texas just a stone's throw from the Fort Worth stockyards. She buys the hay from farmers, then resells it to ranchers, collecting a small brokerage fee.

• The Czech. Catholic Home forthe Aged is to get a 17-bed addition, plus chapel in a $49,615 expansion program.

The home is located in Hillje, just west of El Campo. After expansion, the home can accommodate about 70 people. Bro. Paul Sablatura, member of SPJST' Lodge No. 40, Hillje, and member of the SPJST Rest Home Board of Directors, is chairman of the building committee.

Frank Joe Trlica., 64, of Rosenberg, passed away November 26th. Burial was in the WOW Cemetery in Rosenberg. Bro. Trilea was a member of SPJST Lodge No. 96, Rosenberg.

(The following are excerpts from a letter received from Mrs. Charles Little of Texas City, Texas, asking for help in compiling her family's history. We are presenting the letter here with the hope that some of our readers may be able to contribute something to Mrs. Little. — Editor).

"Dear Sir: " . . . I am attempting to write a family history and am having trouble getting started. The English-written document (enclosed) showing my great grandfather's renouncing his allegiance to the Emperor of Austria shows that he entered the port of Galveston on January 24, 1881. I am curious to find out what other family groups might have come at this same time, under what circumstances, and how they might have decided to settle near Caldwell, and how they travelled there from Galveston. I realize this is all very general, but thought perhaps you might know of someone in this same family that I might be in contact with.

1I1LANS CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY A large host of friends and wellwishers gathered at the Sokol Hall in Fort Worth on Sunday, December 6th, to extend congratulations and best wishes to a wonderful couple, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Milan of Fort Worth, who celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on that date.

Brother Joseph. Sam Milan (formerly Milankovich, but the "kovich" was dropped sometime ago) was born in Novigrad, Dalmatia (now part of Yugoslavia) on March 1st, 1891. He came to the U. S. in 1906, at the age of 15. He lived in St. Louis, Missouri until 1913, when he joined a "Wild West" show as a member of the show's band, which later came to Texas. After the show ended near Temple he came to live in Fort Worth, where he began working for Swift & Co. He retired in 1956 after 42 years' service with that company.

One of Bro. Mil q n's hobbies is music.

Known as "E flat Joe" to all his musician friends, he has played for many musical groups, namely, the Old Post Office Band, Knights of Pythias Band, Moslah Shrine Band, and the Fort Worth Lions Club Band. With these groups he travelled in almost every state in the Union. Since the early '40s he has had his own polka band, playing all over Texas as "Joe Milan and His Czech Melody Boys." His most recent musical experiences with music have been playing with the official Dallas Cowboys football team band at

E -:TNIK

all home games, and also with his fivepiece Bavarian band at numerous country clubs in the area.

Brother Milan became a member of the Sokol in St. Louis in 1910. He was a charter' member of the Fort Worth.

Sokol and a staunch worker in it all these many years. All his 27 grandchildren participate in Sokol gymnastic exercises.

Brothe r Milan joined the ,SPJST in 1919, being one of the charter members who helped orgaril'ze Lodge No. 154 in Fort Worth. Every member of the Milan lamby, 8 children, 4 sons-inlaw, 4 daughters-in-law, 27 grandchildren a:ad 3 great grandchildren are members of the SPJST. Eister Anna Frances (0bal) Milan was born November 2'3', 1895 in Kunovice, Uherske Hradiste, Czechoslovakia.

She came to the U.S. and Texas in 1910. She has also been an active Sokol worker and supporter, and has been an organizer for the SPJST since 1938.

For a good many of those years, Sister Milan was the top SPJST representative in the state.

Brother and Sister Milan were married in Fort Worth at All Saints' Catholic Church on December 8, 1914. They raised 4 boys and 4 girls of their own, and 2 of Brother Milan's nieces and a nephew. (See below). All reside in Fort Worth, except one daughter who lives in South Bend, Indiana. The Milans reside at 2216 Loving Avenue in Fort Worth.

• • The following additional details on the Milan Family Tree are given:

13 Daughter Mary is married to Charles Renfro. Their daughter Mary Jean is married to John Stoeppleman, who have a baby daughter, Kelly Jean, Son Joe is married to Carrie Clark.

They have two daughters, Carolyn and Marilyn. Carolyn is married to Bobby Cleveland, who have a son, Bobby Joe. Daughter Jeanie is married to James Miason, who have the following children: Carol, Jimmy, Evelyn, Billie Jo, Patti, Jerry Charles, Sherri. Evelyn is married to Larry Hopkins, who have a daughter, Lisa beryl.

San Frankle is married to Anna Jo Meyer, who have the following children: Janie, Joey, and Paul.

Daughter Rose is married to Donald D. Steinman, who have the following children: Donna Rose, Donald, Roy, Theresa, Snsan, Mary Jo Ann, Vicki, Lori. Donna Rose is married to Jerry Parker.

Son Emil is married to Sally Ann McDonald, who have two children, Debbie and David.

Daughter Frances is married to Emil.

Manula, who have two children, Steven and Mark, and are expecting their third. They live in South Bend, Ind. Son Jerry is married to Henrietta Ba.nfi. They have two children, Rome and Talon.

The following nieces and nephews were raised by Bro. and Sister Milan until they married: Mary Chorich, married to Benny Pavey (Pavlicek, formerly of Bomarton, now a longtime resident of Oklahoma City) ; Millie Chorich, married to Joe Ban, who have two children, Mary Kay and Joe, Jr., residing in St. Louis; and Emil Chorich.

Total number of descendants: 8 children, 27 grandchildren, 3 grandchildren, 4 sons-in-law, 4 daughters-inlaw.

(The above was compiled from information submitted by son Jerry. — Editor).

• • (The following was submitted by Sister Anna Hosek of Grapevine): Joe and Anna Milan reared eight children, four sons and four daughters, all living and all very active in Sokol and SPJST functions and activities. In addition to the children, there were two nieces and one nephew, Emil, who were raised in this large and happy family where each received his or her share of love and security. Anna and Joe had to work hard to raise this large family. I can still see the Sokol gym floor full of galling and tumbling little Milans. What a happy sight they

were! Today, history is being repeated in their beautiful and abundant grandchildren.

Anna Milan is an adult Sokol grandma and great-grandma, still active and loving. She is one of four top SPJST organizers. "Uncle Joe," known also as "Chauffeur," still blows a mean bass horn in Fort Worth music circles and the Shriners' Band.

Without exception, the Milan children all follow in their parents' footsteps, and they are all the same smiling family. There isn't a poker face among them!

In their 50 years' travel along life's journey they came to know hundreds and hundreds of folks. Some have left their earthly portals to their eternal rewards. Others, due to advanced age, they seldom see, but on December 6th they renewed many old friendships and acquaintances they had made over the years, along with some wonderful memories. God grant them many more years of health and happiness.

Eightyeight certificates were delivered, and I fail to find any record in preceding minutes that equals this record in the (number off certificates issued. The lodge organizers and District Organizer Jarda Cerny are to be complimented for their efforts in securing so many new members. It is obvious that they worked as a team to achieve this goal and I know the members are equally proud for their efforts in promoting organizational work.

Many inquiries concerning the opening date of the new lodge have been received. The building is practically completed; however, furniture, etc;., will have to be installed before the new hall will be opened. Please watch the

Such is also the case at our lodge here in Hallettsville. The little ones are certainly looking forward to this date. Our Christmas party will be held Sunday.

December 13th, beginning at 7:30 p.m., followed by a visit from Ole' Santa Claus. We are looking for many of our members, plus some from other lodges.

There is a slight change for this meeting. All you members who have birthdays in December are asked to wait for the "double" birthday party in January, when we will observe birthdays of both months at that time. We don't want to overlook anyone, so be sure and come to the January meeting.

We are having it on Sunday, instead of the regular Monday evening. The meeting will be held at Placedo Hall.

Since this is our annual meeting you all know the main purpose of it and that is to elect new officers for the new year 1965. You are urged to attend and elect the men of your choice.

I am, sorry that our meetings are poorly attended. If you are well pleased with your old officers we would appreciate you coming and letting us know that. It's a shame how people have lost interest in the meetings.

I wish some of the members would conic up with some ideas on how to make our meetings more interesting.

We would be more than happy to cooperate with you. We have a number of younger members; IF THEY WOULD JUST COME AND HELP US! Certainly they could make the-meetings more interesting. As it is, the same ones keep coming.

After the business session, a social hour will be held with refreshments and drinks. Ladies are asked to bring goodies of their choice. Bring your cards and dominoes. If you have a record player, bring it. We could dance, play games and "have a ball." Surprise us by coming.

Dear Members and Friends: On Sunday, December 13, we will have our first jaternice sale of the season. Please call in your orders as soon as possible so as to enable us to estimate the probable demand. The price remains the same at 80c per pound, and the recipe will be the same one we have used for many years. The liver sausages are meaty, flavorful, delicious and the only ones produced in the Houston area. See our ad in this issue of the Vestnik for reference.

Last month the Houston Sokols were represented in a gymnastic exhibition sponsored by a local Latin American group. Also participating in the program were the Dallas Athletic Club, the YMCA, and a group of gymnasts from Monterrey, Mexico. Members representing Sokol Houston were Martha Busch, Barbara Svec, Randy Soukup and Helmut Moll. We believe that our members were comparable to the best that was offered at the exhibition and we are truly proud of them. This was only one of our most recent participations in public programs in, trying to

15 publicize the Sokol organization. Mr. Heredia, who was the director of the program, came to our gym to post a sign advertising the meet. We invited him to oar Sokol Circus and after seeing our program he was so impressed with our group that he invited us to participate.

Don't forget our annual election to be held December 13 at about 4 p.m.

We need all of the membership to be present for this important 1965 centennial election. Don't forget our Christmas program on December 20, and the New Year's Eve dance; music by the Lad Pavelka Orchestra.

Nazdarl Emil Kuropata LODGE. CESKY PRAPOR NO. 24, CYCLONE Dear Sisters and Brothers: I was asked to be the reporter again for the coming year, so I guess I had better account for myself and get busy and write. I am sure there must be someone else who might do a better job than I. At our last meeting we had a very nice crowd of members. It was good to see so many. I wish all our meetings could be as well attended. Perhaps then we could become real active and progress. Anyway, we thank all of those who took time out to be with us. All seemed to enjoy the lunch, and the officers want to thank all those who brought food. It all looked nice when it was on the table; I don't believe anyone went home hungry. We must do it again. Maybe next time there won't be so many things going on and more of our members can come out.

We were glad to have Brother March with us. He made a nice talk about growth of the SPJST, and on the fraternal congress at Galveston. We also had election of officers for 1965. It seems that everyone was pleased with the offiCers we had, so they were reelected by acclamation.

They are: President, Bro. Henry Mares; Vice-President, Bro. Leonard Mikeska; Secretary, Bro. E. J. Bedrich; Treasurer, Bro. Jerry Zavodny; Financial Secretary, Bro. Franklin Martinec.

These brothers will serve their best for the good of the lodge.

Our next regular meeting will be on Sunday, December 13th, at 1:30 p.m.

By then it will almost be Christmas.

It doesn't seem possible that Christmas is upon us; Old Santa Claus will have to get busy. Well, I must go for

CHICKEN DISH ECONOMICAL "Best cook" reputations begin with best recipes.

Every neighborhood has its best cook — the woman whose family always sits down to a well-prepared meal and whose dinner invitations get quick acceptances.

You can be sure she has a file of well-used recipes and that a large number of them are for chicken dishes.

Brides learn early that chicken is a sure bet for a dinner party. To begin

Even cooks with little experience can enhance their reputation with Crispy Fried Chicken with A la King Sauce.

-SPJSTDUCKS GAIN, MORE ON THE WAY

The waterfowl population along the Gulf Coast has made a substantial gain over last year but the last aerial survey preceded the recent record norther cold spell which is expected to ultimately reflect an even greater Texas increase, according to reports to the Parks and Wildlife Department E. A. Walker, assistant director for wildlife, said the count was finished on November 21, several days before the northern flyways waters were frozen by temperatures as low as 31 below zero. News reports previously had noted that many ducks still lingered in the upper areas.

Walker said the survey showed slightly more than one million ducks and geese scattered along the coastal wintering grounds. This was almost two hundred thousand birds more than

21

VESTNIK those recorded in the identical count made last year.

It showed mallards had not yet arrived, presumably since these popular game birds characteristically remain north as long as weather will maintain open water near favorite grain field feeding areas.

The report, said Walker, also indicated redheads, legal game this year for the first time in several seasons, had not yet built up to the expected 500,000 plus population level.

Canvassbacks, a swift flier which had shared the redheads' bad years lately, were making a good comeback on the basis of the early check.

Pintails, a popular target, were up more than twenty per cent over last year.

Wild geese numbers were down slightly primarily due to a decrease in the snow and blue counts.

— GUIDELINES FOR GIFT SELECTIONS Selecting Christmas gifts for the men on your list may prove exasperating unless one has in mind the type of gift each individual prefers.

Establish a guideline for the gift selection by dividing the men into types, such as businessman, sportsman or the homebody, says Lynn Parks, Extension Service consumer education specialist in textiles and clothing.

The businessman type — whether he's the chairman of the board or a junior executive — is probably loaded with white shirts and a gift of the new small striped and colored shirts that are correct for daytime wear probably would be a better choice.

This season's cuff links, tie bars and tie tacks are reduced in size and are in many instances reproductions of the classic heirloom stylin,gs that rely on elegance of design and fine workmanship rather than bulk. They would make good gift choices for the businessman. Warm rich colors so popular this season can add spark without being loud — and ties and socks can be selected in colors to compliment his wardrobe.

Sweaters are always welcomed by the sportsman or outdoorsman. Even if he has one of each type, he can always use one in another color or pattern.

Select from big bulky ski-types, and fisherman-types, featherweight mohairs and alpacas, muted mixtures and shetlands, or softly shaded wools and cashmeres. Choose from all the new patterns, and remember the look of leather in outer wear, particularly the

new easy-care simulated leather of cotton treated with silicone finish.

For the homebody, new fabrics and textures have made gift-giving easy.

Host coats in warm, rich colors are good, and robes can be selected from opulent silks, man-made fibers, wools, both flannel and challis, and thick terry cloth.

IT'S TIME TO PLAN YULE MENUS Poultry products continue in ample supply at attractive prices in many supermarkets, as homemakers begin planning menus for the Yuletide holiday.

Market conditions are in a transition stage following Thanksgiving, yet there are many good buys, says Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist.

Egg prices are low for this season of the year, so plan to use them generously in holiday baking. There's a variety of kinds and sizes of turkey and other poultry available for preChristmas entertaining.

Beef is still a bargain, with various cuts serving as special features in many stores. Ground beef also is a popular choice, and is economically priced and versatile to use.

Pork counters are well stocked with a variety of cuts. Loin and rib end roasts, shoulder steaks and sausage arc among the more popular cuts.

Good vegetable selections are turnip ,greens, collards and mustard. Other good buys are eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, celery and sweet potatoes.

Grapefruit is now in relatively good supply, and is be.u.ag sold by the bag at slightly lower prices. Apples, cranberries, tangerines, tangelos, bananas and grapes are good fruit choices.

December marks the beginning of the eggnog and boiled custard season.

These two favorites are easy to serve and are sure to please the family and guests, regardless of the occasion.

QUICK CARPET CARE REDUCES HOLIDAY DAMAGE Carpets may become casualties during the extra entertaining and traffic of the holiday season.

Accidental spills and tracks are much more likely to occur during the busy holidays. Yet, today's carpets have more durability and easy care features, and it's much easier for homemakers to protect carpeting from permanent stain and soil damage, says Mrs. Jane Berry, Extension housing-home furnishings specialist.

Observance of three simple rules may

22

VASTNflt

return big dividends in carpet maintenance throughout the year, the specialist says.

First, act quickly when anything is dropped or spilled to remove the spot before it dries or "sets." Don't wait until the guests have gone to get busy on that cup of spilled cranberry punch.

'Second keep cleaning equipment and supplies on hand for immediate "first aid" treatment. Two cleaning agents recommended by the American Carpet Institute for home use are one teaspoon neutral detergent in one quart water, with one teaspoon of white vinegar added, and a dry - cleaning fluid or solvent available from household cleaning supply merchants.

Third, identify the kind of spot or stain to determine the appropriate removal procedure. Spots that are water soluble may be removed with the detergent solution. On grease and oil borne stains, use dry-cleaning compound.

"When cleaning a carpet, try not to get the area too wet. Dry it off as quickly and completely as possible," Mrs. Berry cautions.

Cultural Notes CSA Drama Club of Illinois has set Marth 21.-it as the date for the premiere of "So Brittle the Sword, So Tender the 1-- eart" a drama that touches your heart and feelings deeply.

Here is a Civil War story that is beautifully set up, clearly and suspensefully acted. Indeed it is a stage play that is both touching and wise while it keeps the audience intensely interested.

The craft of playwriting is a responsible one, because the subject matter spells half the success. It must serve to attract the public; it must have a message, hold interest. No matter if it is woven of fact or fiction, humor, pathos, tragedy or laughter, it must have ingredients that are not slavishly addicted to textbook narration but produce in us a genuine interest.

"So Brittle the Sword, So Tender the Heart," is a play about the Civil War, possibly the only full-length work of this nature to come out of Illinois during the Civil War Centennial period.

It has no quarrels to pick. It does not try to apologize for the conflict, but does try to explain the motives of those who took either side. It does not justify war, nor does it glory in victory. The play was conceived in patriotic fervor when the author, 46-year-old Jerry F. Chmelicek, of 3831 Raymond Avenue, Brookfield, Illinois, was serving with the Army Air Force in the South during World War II. Through the media of the spoken word, the whole 4-year panorama of valor, love and sacrifice brings the period home to the audience with solid impact.

The fact that the announcement of the new play has already stirred con-

ESTNfK siderable interest in the country, can readily be seen from communications which the author is receiving. Among the latest is this letter from Senator Roman L. Hruska, of Nebraska. He Writes: "Your tribute to the role plaed by the Czechs in the American Civil War is especially timely in this centennial period of that dreadful struggle.

"The sympathy of our liberty-loving people for the cause of the North is readily understood when we recall that the abortive attempt at revolution against Austrian absolutism in 1848 caused many Czechs to flee to the U.S. to avoid persecution.

"It is also appropriate that your play will be staged in Chicago, where today stands the monument in the National Bohemian Cemetery, recalling the contributions of Czech patriots who served during the Civil War. "The oldest organization of Czech volunteers was called the Czech-Slavic Company and was established in 1860 by 50 young Czech immigrants. We can trace the activities of these and other brave young men as they served the.

Union in "C" Company of the United States Reserve Corps and Fremont's Army in Missouri, in the 71st New York Infantry Regiment and the 31st Regiment in Massachusetts.

"These gallant men proved their valor at Gettysburg, Bull Run, Chancellorsville and Fredricksburg. Many were wounded and many gave their lives.

"I know that your long and painstaking research will reflect the valor and heroism of the Czech patriots."

Tickets to the premiere of this play which will be given in Czech and later in English, are only $1.00 each and early reservations are requested.

They can be obtained by sending a stamped-self addressed envelope with money, or money order, to the CSA Dramatic Club, c/o CSA Main Office, 2138 South 61st St., Cicero, Ill. 60650.

The Officers of the CSA Dramatic Club, which has a splendid record of cultural successes, are as follows: President, Mrs. Marie Bohac, 1909 South Ave., Berwyn; Vice President, Joseph Krabec, 2832 South Miallard Ave., Chicago; Secretary, Joseph Florian, 2403 South Elmwood Avenue, Berwyn; and Treasurer, Miss Marie Starman, 2336 South Avenue, Berwyn.

Yards and Gardens FALL, WINTER PLANTINGS BEST FOR BARE-ROOTED ROSES

By A. F. DeWerth, Prof. of Floriculture, Texas A. & M. University Bare-rooted roses should be planted while dormant, preferred times during this period being soon after plants have become dormant or shortly before buds break to resume next season's growth.

Under most Texas conditions, the

dormancy period of rose bushes is much shorter than in many other areas, Varying from four to five months and often limited to January and February. In the Panhandle and other sections, there may be a. choice between spring and fall planting, although the latter is much more preferable.

Most rose bushes are harvested by growers in late October, November and early December. In Biome instances late fall rains may delay digging ap'erations and thus retard the time when plants can be obtained. In Houston and other Gulf Coast areas, the disadvantages of spring planting so far outweigh the advantages of fall and winter planting that spring planting should be practiced and confined to container-grown rose bushes.

For ideal planting procedures, dormant roses should be planted as soon as they can be purchased in the fall or winter. If, due to the weather, plants cannot be set out immediately in their permanent locations, remove the pack-

ing, soak it in water and repack it around the roots. Keeping the packing moist, store the plants in a cool, dark place until they can be planted.

Heeling the bushes into the soil outdoors is a better practice, if they are allowed to remain heeled-in only until conditions are favorable for planting.

They should not remain in this state until the buds begin to break.

An important consideration in planting rose bushes is a careful inspection of the plants prior to planting. Plants should not be weak or spindly and root systems should not be damaged from harvesting, packing or shipin,g. Some injury from handling must always be expected but in no case should it be excessive.

Present-day harvesting and markethave been developed iing to prevent damage and to insure that plants will be received in good condition by the consumer. When plants are received from mail-order nurseries, however, delays in transit may subject them to dry heat during the ship-

Wednesday, December 0, 1964 ping period and the packing material may dry out. Therefore, rose bushes may arrive in a dried-up condition, even when shipped by the most reputable firms.

In such instances the bark on bushes may present a shriveled appearance and plants may be light in weight due to the loss of moisture. Bushes so received may be expected to be abnormally slow in starting new growth, and may not start at all. Plants received in this condition should be restored to a-. succulent state before planting.

This can be done by laying the plants in a shallow trench, covering both the tops and roots with moist soil and keeping it moist for about seven days. Then removing the soil from about the plants, being careful not to damage any growth that may have started. This procedure will usually restore the bushes to a good planting condition.

Bushes received in good condition can be planted immediately. To protect the roots from exposure to sun or drying winds, place the plants in a bucket of water or cover the roots with wet burlap.

Begin planting procedures by digging a hole about 12 inches in diameter to a depth that will permit the bud union at the stem's base to be level with the soil surface. Place a small mound of soil in the bottom of the hole, prune the roots to a length of about five-and-one-half inches and spread them evenly on the mound.

Tamp the soil well around the plant and keep it firmed for several weeks so the plant does not become loose due to winds ef soil settlement.

Immediately after planting, water the bushes will to settle the soil and to get it into close contact with the roots.

Do not water again until the soil dries out.

--SPJSTTRY A LIVE TREE THIS CHRISTMAS

Would you like to keep your Christmas tree for a long time after Christmas?

You can, according to Bill Smith forester of the Texas A.&4. Agricultural Extension Service, provided you select a live tree that will grow in Texas.

"Live trees, with the roots wrapped in a ball of soil, are sold to be planted outdoors after Christmas," Smith points out.

Trees that may be expected to live in most areas of the state include arbioinktae, Arizona, cypirtess, eastern red cedar, and shortlea,f pine. Other trees, such as Douglas fir or Scotch pine should not be expected to live when planted in the Lone Star State.

These species require cool and moist growing conditions unlike those found in Texas, Smith says.

To help the live Christmas tree survive after planting, he suggests these rules: Do not move the tree indoors before it is to be decorated.

While the tree is in the house, be sure its roots do not dry out. This may require watering every day or two.

Plant the tree outdoors in a hole several inches larger that the bundle of soil around the roots. Plant as soon as possible after Clristmas.

It may be desirable to plant the tree outdoors in a location where it can be used as an outdoor Christmas tree in the following years.

For further information on the proper species of live Christmas trees for specific areas of Texas, Smith suggests that interested persons contact their local county agent's office.

-SPJST— '85 FARM OUTLOOK REMAINS GENERALLY UNCHANGED The overall agricultural outlook for 1965 takes on a complexion pointing to an increase in demand as well as an increase in supply of farm products.

Farm prices and incomes, however, are expected to remain relatively stable.

Markets for farm products on the home front will continue to expand due to economic growth, rising consumer incomes and population growth, reports John McHaney, Extension economist, Texas A. & M. University.

Looking to the foreign market, agricultural exports in fiscal 1964-65 are anticipated to continue at a high level, though somewhat below the recordsetting total of 6.1 billion last year.

This total was 20 per cent above the previous two years.

Producers of agricultural commodities, however, will still be confronted with large supplies of farm and ranch products, says the economist. Beth livestock and crop production are expected to increase slightly, while carryover stocks remain large, particularly for grains and cotton.

With the large supply of farm products, little hope prevails for an increase in average prices received by farmers. While little change is foreseen in livestock product prices, crop prices will probably be slightly lower in 1965.• McHaney estimates the total gross income realized by all farmers and ranchers will maintain the level of the past two years. This income includes cash receipts, government payments and non-money income. Furthermore, only small increases in production expenses are in prospect as compared with increases in recent years.

Farm assets during 1964 are anticipated to increase more than three percent, due mainly to rising land values.

Farmers' debts, though, continue ti..) rise, says McHaney, and there will be a greater need for farm credit for acquiring land and capital goods in the coming year.
