FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK THIS THAT, AND THE OTHER Income Drop Cash receipts of Texas ranchers and farmers from 1964 business showed a 7 per cent drop from 1963, according to Cary Palmer, US Dept. of Agriculture statistician at Austin. Total 1964 income amounted to $2,369,000,000.

Crop income dropped 9 per cent to $1,290,000,000 in 1964, while sales of livestock, pouultry and their products were down 3 per cent to $1,078,000,000.

This decrease in farm income is of the utmost concern to Texas farmers.

Farm income affects the economy of the state, from one end of the state to the other. Many of our cities and towns are almost entirely dependent upon "agribusiness," business derived in large part, or in whole, from farm income and farm products. Of course, Texas is not as dependent upon farm income as was the case 15 or 25 years ago, but many cities cannot prosper without rural economic stability. The bleak agricultural outlook darkens the otherwise bright economic horizon of our state and the entire Southwest.

• • Fraternals Denied Tax Relief There are some 11 or 12 "Lodges" or fraternal groups exempt from public taxation, under the provisions of existing specific Texas laws. The SPJST is not one of them. A recent newspaper story out of Austin, written by Dallas Morning News correspondent Carl Freund (a native of West), tells

PERFECTLY SHOCKING! "Our youth now loves luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect for elders, and they love to chatter instead of exercise.

"Children are now tyrants. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.

They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers."

Shocking? Relax. What you just read was written by Socrates in the year 400 B.C. of the efforts of a Dallas legislator to add the Masonic lodges in Texas to the list of those exempt. As proposed in the State Senate by its sponsor, the bill would have affected only non-profit property owned by the Masonic Grand Lodge and its "subordinate lodges and appendant orders." The bill had rough going in the House of Representatives, and after some debate, an amendment was added which would have granted exemptions to "all other fraternal organizations which the State Comptroller may find similar in type and purpose." State Representative John Traeger of Seguin stated that he would certainly "not detract from the great contributions by the Masons to our society. But we also have other fraternal groups which also make great contributions, and we should treat them all alike."

The chief argument against exempting the Masons and others who have recently applied for similar exemptions, was that "a tremendous amount of property would be taken off the tax rolls." Members of the House of Representatives, when the final vote was taken, defeated the proposed exemption by a vote of 70 to 46. Thus, the same number cif originally exempt organizations retain their exempt status.

• • Governor Hughes of the State of Iowa is hell-bent on taxing the premium income of the Western Bohemian Fraternal Association, based in Cedar Rapids. It has not become a reality yet, however. Time will tell.

• • Child Neglect and Abuse Child neglect and abuse is growing in magnitude in this country, according to Dr. Leontine Young, executive director of the Child Service Association of Newark, N.J. Dr. Young stated: "child neglect and abuse is a twofold and age-old problem. The offenders can be divided into two groups — those who simply neglect their children and those who deliberately abuse or even torture their children." Children in the latter category are often victims of parents with psychological problems, and sometimes suffer fatal consequences. Dr. Young, author of a book on the subject, said there is evidently no solution to the problem. "The only thing we can do is remove the chil-

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 dren from the home, put them in responsible facilities and make them available for adoption." She pointed out that child abuse is not restricted to parents in the lower income brackets, and that emotional neglect can be found at all economic levels. Sixteen states have recorded a 100 per cent increase in reports of child neglect and abuse cases, since those states started requiring doctors and hospitals to report suspected, neglect and abuse cases. This simply means that we've always had the situation with us, but only recently starting compiling official records of such incidents, in some states. In states where such reports are not required by law, a physician lays himself open to charges of all sorts, if he reports a suspected abuse case, without sufficient proof.

The new laws stand behind him in this respect.

• • Voices of Nature Norman Vincent Peale recently pointed out that nature can teach us a good deal about life and living.

"Autumn," he says, "is a time when nature cleanses itself. Worn-out leaves drop off the trees. Dead branches fall with the wind, and even the air is cleansed by the !fresh, crisp atmosphere as it brushes away the staleness of dyin,g summer."

In the cycle of seasons, spring is the season and period of new life. To most of the animal kingdom, this is the time when those who survived the ordeals of winter bring forth their young to replenish their ranks. How simple, yet how wonderful is this plan of the Creator, designed to maintain and improve the species. Man, who was given dominion over the wild creatures of the earth, inherited with this privilege the responsibiliy of stewardship. He holds the key to survival. While man "does not live by bread alone," he cannot ignore the physical requirements of the flesh. He must have food and shelter. In most cases, his demands are far beyond his needs. Wildlife, whose needs are the same, demands much less.

The farmer, raising food and fiber for man, can help provide shelter and sustenance for quail if he leaves field corners unfurrowed and a weedy conopy along his fence rows. It takes so little, but to the bobwhite it means so much.

The rancher, im proving his pasture, may see no utility or beauty in a briar patch, but it's the cottontail's castle, and the wild turkey hen might

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 find its thorny limbs sanctuary for hatching her young.

Elimination of a cedar brake, whitebrush thicket, or mesquite studded flat, may doom the antlered whitetail who once sought safety there.

To do nothing to game habitat may sometimes help maintain the status quo for wildlife. But, doing nothing is not computable with man and progress.

Change is certain.

With the change, the land operator must decide ill' the pattern will be waste or wise management. He must not only decide "if" but where, when, and how the weed patch will be plowed, the pastures burned, the marshes drained, the thickets chained, or the forests cut clean.

Airport runways winter few ducks; deer find little browse on oil field derricks or Christmas trees; motels and shopping centers offer little accommodations for quail; and superhighways provide no protection for squirrels. But wildlife doesn't complain when man usurps its home: it just suffers, or disappears. spring, brings its annual promise, a dull supply of the best of its wild creatures entrusted to the stewardship of man. These are the seeds that must be nurtured and protected if the harvest is to be bountiful.

Man accepts the promise and anticipates the harvest of wildlife. But what will he do about its needs for survival?

Yes, spring is nice, but it carries with it certain obligations.

•

Living, as many of us do, in cities and towns amidst man-made civilization, we must never forget that we are essentially children of the earth and we make a mistake if we stray too far from her.

Listen to the voice of nature. She has some important things to say.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Your editor will be attending to an important community function on Sunday, June 20th, here in West. Consequently, it will be difficult to accept any invitations elsewhere on that date.

—SPJSTThe Bell Told Texas' first traffic law, passed in 1907, required motor vehicles to have a bell or other appliance that would give notice of their approach. Speed within towns was limited to eight miles per hour, but 18 was legal on the open road. Horses — if they had a driver or rider — had right-of-way over all vehicles.

Some are wishing for a good rain.

The winter was a cold one, so the gardens will be late.

Our 4-year-old grandson, Erwin Wayne Fejt, is confined to Lackland AFB Hospital. He went in for the measles and later developed encephalitis. He is recovering satisfactorily.

There have been many sick with the measles in our community this year.

A large crowd of veterans and their families enjoyed the anniversary celebration dinner at Legion Hall last Sunday. We also attended our lodge me.etting. Several important matters were discussed, and plans are being made for various projects. The door prize went to Sister Viola Wagner. Our next meeting will be held on the second Saturday n April, as usual (April 11th). Easter is upon us again.

Moulton is having some new residents: Mr. and Mrs. Pete Machart have bought the Grandma Pundt home.

They plan to move in the fall. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mikulencak sold their farm east of Moulton and are moving to town.

Brother Alvin Zidek is confined to his home; his condition has not improved.

Three new members joined our lodge, one is our daughter-i•-law, Mary Ann Fojt, her son, Randy Lee, and baby, Brigid Ann. We welcome them to our lodge. This makes our son's family a 100 per cent SPJST family!

Dear Friends, Everyone is talking about the dances held in the beautiful Chandelier Ballroom at our lodge. The crowds are large, the music is good, and the atmosphere is definitely friendly!

Though I haven't been able to attend the dances, I hear so much about them — about the many newcomers, to whom we say a hearty "Welcome, and come often!" Pearl Hanka and Rosa• Lee Ruland each had a large party at the Blume's Dance, and so did Talita Hilsher! (What do you think Talita, I spelled your name correctly!).

The lodge is starting something new that will be lots of fun for all, and that is the Social Nights every Thursday beginning April 8th. This is for the family and your friends, so be sure to tell your friends about it.

On Sunday, April 11th, we are having special entertainment; we will have the showing of picture slides of the Opening Day, plus other movies.

I think you would really enjoy this; you will probably see yourself an some of them! This will be followed by a Chili Hot Dog and Hamburger Supper, so bring your family for some hours of fun!

Those wonderful Birthday Club Sisters are really busy, and when they are buNT, that means we have a chance to get some good food! This Saturday morning, (April 3rd), is their Baking Day, and if you like delicious apple strudel and kolaches, phone your order in soon. The sisters have become quite famous for their baking, some of their kolaches being sent as far as Florida! Then on Wednesday, April 7th, they have their Card Party and a delicious dinner, and on April 14th, they have a meeting and serve a luncheon; you and your friends will be welcome at both of these!

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 Try to attend our dances and get in on the fun! Jimmy Brosch, the number one comedian, and the rest of his comedians will play this Saturday. Next Saturday, April 10th, we have another local band, the Gil Baca Orchestra, who are also very good.

President Tim Kostom is looking forward to seeing you at the lodge meeting this Friday, so don't disappoint him! The meeting will be followed by a Social Hour when delicious refreshments will be served. That wonderful youth leader, Wanda Elzner, is also looking forward to seeing all you Teens at the Teen Club meeting at 8 p.m. Surely you, have heard how the Teen Club is growing! If you want to know more about it, just call Bonnie Sue Cox (OV 2-2402), and she will be most happy to tell you all about it!

See you at the meeting Friday.

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmeamp -SPJST--LODGE NO. 163 Dear Members: Lodge 166 is having a Barbecued Chicken Dinner with all the trimmings and refreshments Sunday afternoon, May 2nd. Beaumont would like to have a good turnout from the outof-town SPJST members and guests.

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 trips to historic and educational places, etc). The purpose of her visit was to get the members interested in organizing a Youth Club at Lodge 117.

A motion was made and approved that an Easter Egg Hunt be held on April 11th at the Sablatura Park near Banquete, at 3 p.m. The tables are reserved at the usual location that we have had for several years. The mothers are asked to bring a covered dish, pastry, etc., and each child 6 eggs. Also bring your own plates, forks, etc., for your family. Drinks will be donated by the lodge, and there will be many prizes for the youth.

Sis. Helen Pavelka was elected chairman of the Kitchen Committee.

Her co-chairmen are Sisters Vlasta Mrazek, and Ella Malik. This group will be in charge of the kitchen at the district meeting, which will be held on April 25th. (More details on this later).

Bro. Leo Malik is in charge of the barbecue and he will choose his helpers.

Beef barbecue will be served that day.

In the afternoon, following the meeting, a cake walk will be held. Sisters of the lodge are asked to donate cakes to this function and also to the kitchen. All members present were in favor of the Pavelka Orchestra furnishing music in the afternoon and the dance at night.

Books were audited by Sis. Darlene Edwards, Brothers Joe Malik and John Blahuta, who found them in order.

Members of Lodge 117, when asked to serve and help out at the District Seven barbecue dinner and supper, or wherever needed, please do so. Even non-members have helped out in the past, so they are welcome again.

Now I will write a little about Feb. 8th. It is a little late to report on this but I was waiting for someone else who has good ability in reporting. On that date the Czech Societies of Corpus Christi entertained the State Folk Dance Troupe of Czechoslovakia, which performed earlier in he evening at the Memorial Coliseum. They were on a double bill with the Globetrotters. It was an informal party, with typical Czech food and polka music by Majek's Orchestra.

The honored members of the Dance Troupe were welcomed by hundreds of people who are members of the local mutual and fraternal societies in Corpus Christi. They are KJZ'T., KJT, Sokol, SPJST, SVPS and, Moravian Hall. Presidents of their respective societies were all introduced, and Bro. Jim Kucera, State Youth Director of the SPJST made his welcome address

STNfK both in Czech and English.

Dancing was enjoyed by all. Whereever one looked, you could see small groups laughing and talking with the honored guests. The party was a great success. Thanks go to Albin Kucera who started this project and of course, thanks to all the sisters who donated food for the occasion. The party lasted until 5 a.m., I was told. Several of the troupe just couldn't part and told several local people that they regret having to return to their homeland but at the same time they were thankful that they were so warmly welcomed. They will return next year again and are looking forward to meeting their new friends who offered them their hospitality in their homes on their return trip. We here in Corpus Christi are also looking forward to their visit, because they are people just like us who love freedom and democracy.

Once again, don't forget the date — April 11th; Easter Party, and the youth will be asked to discuss the organization of a Youth Club. See you all on that date.

Fraternally, Betty Jurica, Reporter

-SPJST-TO ALL LODGES IN DISTRICT IV: At our meeting in Temple on March 6. the rules were set up pertaining to the Youth Camp.

The last convention appropriated funds and these will not be distributed to the lodges, bet to the districts as a whole. This money will not be given to tlia districts unless a camping or recreational area is visited. A lodge does not have to have a Youth Club for the children to participate in this program. If you have been reading the Vestnik the rules have been printed. This program will take lots of planning: how many want to go, where they want to go, what time of the year they want to go, etc. We will need one chaperone for every 5 children. I will have to have each lodge's opinion on what their wishes are. Remember, if our District IV does not take part in this program the money will stay in the fund, and next year the money will be divided again.

If you have as many as 5 youths who are interested in a Youth Club you can organize a Youth Club. This year there are 5 money prizes on the Point System. District IV has only one ledge which is receiving the money that is set up for this program. In the past, it was $30. In 1965 it will be $50, since we will have 5 prizes: 1st prize,

$15; 2nd prize $12.50; 3rd prize $10; 4th prize, $7.50, and 5th prize, $5. I'm sure you have youth in your lodge who could use this money. You need to get busy and elect a youth leader and organize a Youth Club, and the youth would enjoy good recreation.

Summer will be here soon and it will be time again for our contests and Youth. Activity Day. Be thinking about taking part since we will have nice money prizes again. If you have any questions contact me or Mr. Jim Kucera. Let's wake up and keep up with the other six districts.

I'm hoping to hear from all 10 lodges pertaining to the camping this summer for the youth, whether you wish to take part or not.

FIRST MEETING IN NEW HOME. OF LODGE, NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Brothers and Sisters: Lodge 88 President, T. S. Kostom, rapped the gavel on March 12th to convene the first meeting at the new hclme of the;lodge. Follow;ing the Pledg e of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, the members were requested to remain standing and pay tribute to the memory of Sister Anna Korenek who passed away on the 17th day of February.

Brother Kostom welcomed the large and enthusiastic gathering of members for the first meeting at the new home and reminisced about the past meetings at the old home during the past 50 years. Even though it was a sad occasion to part with the old home, this sadness is somewhat alleviated by the joy and happiness we find in the new one.

The secretary read the minutes from the previous meeting and after minor changes, the minutes were accepted.

Again, a long list of candidates for membership and transfers were approved and accepted by the membership. Twenty one members were initiated into the lodge, and in the final phase of the initiation ritual, the circle formed by the members present was something to observe. The circle extended around the four walls.

District Director E. S. Hanka acknowledged receipt of correspondence pertaining to the opening day festivities, and one particular letter the lodge membership appreciated. SPJST Legal

OF STATE AND DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS' MEETING HELD MARCH 6, 1965; AT TEMPLE, TEXAS MINUTES

Brother Joe B. Hejny called the meeting to order at 10:10 a.m. All Youth Directors were present, with the exception of Sister Inez Zalman, who was in Tennessee at the bedside of her seriously ill mother. Brother Rudolph Zalman, her husband, attended the meeting in her place, and Sister Tillie Helmcamp was also absent on account of illness.

The minutes of our meeting held on December 5, 1964, were read by Sister Lillie 'Matejka and approved, with the exception that an increase from 5 cents a month to 10 cents a month per club member be incorporated into our program in remunerating our Youth Clubs who hold their meetings regularly and make monthly reports of their activities to the Home Office; and under our Point System Contest in section of 20 points to read: "All children should be invited to participate in your club meetings and activities, but only members of the SPJST up to age 21 can compete for prizes on district and state levels."

Adjourned for lunch at 11:30 a.m.

Meeting called to order again at 1 p.m.

Brother Hejny brought up the recommendation of the Youth Committee of our last convention pertaining to youth camps and reminded everyone that we will have to decide as to how the appropriate funds will be used for the best benefit of our youth, and also stated. that when making these plans, we should think in terms of district functions rather than those on the lodge level. He pointed out that there are a lot of youth activities carried out even though there may be no active Youth Club organized in such district and that we cannot penalize active youth members just because they have not yet organized a club.

After a long discussion on the sub-

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 ject of distributing the funds fairly. and properly, Brother Kucera stated that we could use the same procedure as is being used in contributing the 5 cents per member to the districts by the Supreme Lodge.

Brother Hejny raised a question, whether or not it might be more proper to use the precentage on Juvenile Certificates rather than on the Adult Certiilicates, as is being used on the 5 cents a member remuneration.

After some discussion, Sister Lillie Matejka made a motion, seconded by Sister Maxine Pavliska, that we use the count of Juvenile Certificates up to age 16. Approved.

A question was brought up as to what age group would be eligible to go to the Youth Camps. It was unanimously agreed that all children through age 21 and single could go, and that there would be an adult chaperone for each five children on such outings.

Sister Mikeska made a motion, seconed by Sister Matejka, that we do not use District Youth Directors as judges in our State Queen, King and Talent Contest. Approved.

It was agreed that a winner of the State Queen, King or Talent Contest could not enter the following year and compete to succeed him or herself. ;Sister Pavliska suggested that we have more game program material made available, especially in the teenage group.

Brother Hejny asked each one present if they had any other business to bring up and there being none, the meeting adjourned at 3 p.m.

"FISHERMAN" Any number of boys and girls can play this game. Make a mark up line about 10 feet from the wall with white chalk or tape. On the opposite side of the hall, do the same. Place all the players below the starting line. To start with the leader selects two players to start the game by placing them below the opposite line of all players.

The two players selected begin the game by moving forward, (we will call them "fishermen"); all the other players start moving toward the fishermen within the outlined space. Those two fishermen hold fast with inside hands, moving forward to catch the fish, Their duty is to tag some player with their loose hand. If they tag someone, one, after both sides' players pass on the other side, those who were caught, join the fishermen's net. Those who start the fisherman's line always refish join hands in between, Fish or main on the outside and the caught fishermen run forward only. If the line breaks it does not count. Who ever was tagged during the break has to regroup and start again from the other side. After all the dish are caught by the fishermen, the last two players caught start the game over again.

Avoid cheating, running out of bounds,

V t STNIK (over benches, or tables or other places where the fisherman's line can't reach).

FISHERMAN'S OUBEES This game can be played on the same order, except you do not form a fisherman's line with all players. All other rules remain the same. You start with two fishermen (boys or girls) with joined hands. You run forward, as in the other game. Whoever you tag goes forward, and he will take your place -,and you join the fish. If both of you tag someone, you are both exchanged.

To make it more interesting, you may use two couples of fishermen, if you have a large group.

The main thing is to observe that all players, fish and fishermen, start running on a given signal. Both sides must enforce the rules — to tag running forward only and inside the boundary.

"RED AND WHITE" This requires a piece of cardboard, something lige a cigar box top. you may make one out of cardboard, plywood, heavy enough so that when you throw it up it comes down floating.

Paint one side white and the other red. You divide the hail or playground from a center line, 25 or 30 feet from this line in opposite directions. Place all players on or below this mid-center line. When all are placed the leader designates which side is red and which is white. He may do that by throwing the board up, to see whichever color shows. If the red side shows, all players on the red side run across from their own line across the center line into the opposite side's territory, tagging anyone they can reach. Any white side player tagged on the run goes to the red side and vice versa. Now, all players go back to their own starting line and the game begins all over by pitching the card up. Anyone caught or tagged below midcenter lines don't count. Good sports do not cheat to gain victory!

It is indeed an honor and pleasure for which I am very grateful.

My very special thanks go to Mama Bessie Pete, our Youth. Leader at Lodge No. 84. She has worked very hard with all the teenagers. A lot of the credit goes to her for helping me achieve this ,goal.

My sincere thanks go to my mother and father who are also SPJST members, and are always so patient and understanding with me; without their help it would be difficult for me to attend the functions of the teenagers.

It is my regret that I missed the District III meeting in Fort Worth. Due to sickness in my family I was unable to attend.

Sunday we went fishing at the tank.

We caught some fish but not enough to eat so we threw them back. I am always ready to go fishing, no matter where we go.

By Allen Duckworth Political Editor of The Dallas Morning News (Conclusion) In appearance, they are modern, but in granite, first cousins to the great Capitol Building which, many of the agencies have left. The Capitol itself is of rugged granite from the Marble Falls region. The same granite was used to build the new buildings, although this stone is polished. First in the Supreme Courts Building, which houses not only the state's highest court but also the Court of Criminal Appeals, the Courts of Civil Appeals, and the. Attorney General's Department, all formerly in the Capitol itself.

Perhaps the most beautiful building of the post-war complex is the Texas Archives, which protects state papers of historic interest. The General Land Office also is located there.

Other new buildings behind and to the east of the Capitol are the John H. Reagan State Office Building, Sam Houston 'State Office Building, State Insurance Building. They all match generally in granite construction. Variations are former and still occupied state buildings built before the war — the old Land Office Building on the capitol grounds and now a museum, Highway department Building, Texas Education Agency, The old Walton Building, once the Travis County Courthouse and once occupied by the Land Office and part of the Agriculture Department, has been demolished in favor of a parking lot.

The only major state agency now without a home on or near the Capitol grounds is the Railroad Commission. It has offices in the old Tribune Building, headquarters of a pre-war and ill-fated newspaper venture, in downtown Austin.

News media have expanded with state government. Twenty years ago, a couple of small rooms were adequate in the Capitol for news correspondents.

Now there are four, with all major newspapers, many of the smaller pa-

The Governor's off ice, which includes vast space on the ground floor and main quarters on the second, has gobbled up practically all of that formerly reserved for the Railroad Commissioner's offices and hearing room.

with confidence. The most conservative of those predict a population of 328,000 10 years hence. Capital National Bank says that by 1974, there will be wholesale trade activity employing 31,500, manufacturing employment past the 9,000 mark. The same institution predicts jobs in governmental activities in 1974 for some 45,000 Austin residents.

Combined enrollment of the various colleges, says the bank, will pass 37,000 within ten years.

For The Housewife

Consequently, the fruit which was plentiful most of the time — and quite low in price — has become more in demand. It has offered variety for menu planning. That fact, added to a few years when the supply was just normal, kept the price a little higher. But now there's an excellent prune crop again. Last year's crop ran to over 165,000 tons, compared with an average-size crop of 135,000 tons.

So look for a bargain in Prunes and put them on your shopping list often, the consumer marketing specialist says.

PRUNES LIVE UP TO VERSATILE NATURE Prunes are one of the bargain items this month.

There was a time when ,prunes were a fruit mainstay during the winter months, because they stored so well.

Prunes today are taking on a new look. They have begun to come to market in brilliantly colored coats — and in attractive boxes and packages.

They have, become tenderized and tempting, says Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, EX— tension Service consumer marketing specialist.

More prune juice is now on the market, and prune purees, prune fillings and other products from the fruit are available for (favorite coffee bread or rolls. Truly, prunes have "come into their own," says the specialist.

FREEZE-DRIED FOODS ON THE WAY Tomorrow's housewife may well purchase (dry, packaked foods from a shelf, store in the pantry and, when mealtime comes, pust add water and a meal is ready — of such food as scrambled eggs, steak, vegetables and cottage cheese!

17 At least that's what researchers at Texas A. and M. University believe, after experimenting with their new machine — the Freeze-Drier.

This $20,000 machine, manufactured by the American Sterilizer Co., removes practically all the moisture from foods by the process of lyophilization, or freeze-drying.

The product can already be frozen or may be frozen after being placed in a vacuum chamber in the machine.

Then the temperature is raised and a vacuum draws the moisture from the product until it is almost completely dry. The dried product must them be stored in an air-tight container to prevent moisture from entering.

Freeze-dried foods may be cooked or left uncooked. There is little spoilage since few bacteria can live without moisture. To restore to the original condition, one must only add water.

Some Freeze-dried foods, when rehydrated, taste just as good as before, says T. C. Arrington, creamery superintendent.

"The freeze-drying process is not a novelty. Although it is rather expensive and still in the developmental stage, small commercial operations exist all across the United States, freezedrying such items as shrimp and vegetables," said Arrington.

Researchers at A. and M. are experimenting to determine what products can be freeze-dried successfully and practically and at what temperatures it should be done.

Footnote to History Texas' early frontiersmen were hardly the uncouth, gun-toting ruffians so dear to the hearts of television script writers. The majority were well educated sophi4ticates and most were linguists of no mean ability.

R. Henderson Shuffer points this out in "A President's Country," the new guide to the Hill Country published by The Alcalde Press, Austin. Shuffler tells how Louis von Hagen, former Prussian army captain, helped to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of Fredericksburg by calling the square dancers at the Bismarch Garten in French!

At Sisterdale, in Kendall County, settlers in the 1840's conducted the meetings of their scientific and philosophical society in Latin.

For Your Information: THE FAMILY LAWYER "No, Mr. President" It seems reasonable enough. Congress, debating a proposed new law, has doubts about its constitutionality.

Why not simply ask the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion? Sooner or later, the Court (sitting only a block away) will have to decide the uestion anyhow. Why wait for a long, drawnout test case? Why put a law on the books, and enforce it, only to find out years later that it was unconstitutional all the time?

But the Court would refuse to give Congress an advisory opinion. It would also refuse to advise the President, if he wanted to know — for instance — whether he had the power to issue a sweeping new executive order. Both Congress and the President would have to take their chances, without any guidance from the Supreme Court.

The Court's hands-off policy dates back to a famous exchange of letters in the summer of 1793, between the nation's first President and the nation's first Chief Justice. George Washington, trying to stay neutral between warring France and England, wanted an advisory opinion on 29 points of international law. But John Jay, speaking for the Court, sent a polite reply that amounted to "No, Mr.

19

President." And ever since, the Court has insisted that its job is to decide cases, not to give advice.

This reluctance has been criticized.

No doubt it would be useful to know, right away, if a proposed law would be unconstitutional. Delay in finding out can cause mapor complications. Thus, by the time the Court threw out the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1935, more than 1,000 government agencies were already set up and hard pt work.

But the advisory opinion has perils.

It could put the Court too close to the legislative or executive process, too

close to politics. It could blur the lines of separation between the three branches of government.

Perhaps more important, an advisory opinion is only a theoretical answer to a theoretical question. It is formed without the sharpening, clarifying effect of an actual conflict. It is !formed without the clash of argument between parties having a personal stake in the outcome. It is not the law's way of reaching a decision.

In a few states, the courts do give advisory opinions to the local legislature or governor. But even there they do it sparingly, in only a few special situations. Most legal authorities feel that, as a matter of general policy, John Jay's "No, Mr. President" was the wisest answer, public service feature otf the American Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas.

DEATH RATE DOWN FOR 1964 The record number of hunters swarming afield last year may have been the most safety-conscious in recent years, according to J. Weldon Watson, executive director of the Parks and Wildlife Department.

Reports !from staff members, admittedly incomplete, significantly showed that of the accidents listed by the Department there was a decrease form 18 fatalities in 1963 to 10 in 1964. Accidents likewise dropped from 59 to 40.

The Department cooperates with the National Rifle Assn. in recording hunting casualties.

The percentage of self-inflicted fatal wounds was higher last year than in 1963. Five of the ten 1964 fatalities were caused by the victim compared with eight of the eighteen reported in 1963.

Most of the casualties occurred during November and December in both years.

Oddly, 35 of the 59 accidents reported in 1963 involved rifles while only 17 of the 40 accidents reported in 1964 involved rifles. The number of shotguns used in the casualt y cases was proportionately higher in 1964.

Watson said his field staff "certainly welcomed the decrease in casualties since great emphasis has been in edutating hunters to avoid mishaps." He pointed out that game wardens devote a great deal of time during the major wildlife harvest period toward aiding field casualties, finding lost hunters and otherwise helping out.

Wednesday, March 31, 1965 Traveling Texas Peripatetic tourists can visit at least three monuments in Texas which honor saloon-keepers.

Richard W. Dowling, the famed Dick Dowling who was the hero of the Battle of Sabine Pass, was the head bartender in his Houston saloon, "The Bank of Bacchus," before he tried soldiering. His exploits as a fighting man earned him at least two monuments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one at Sabine Pass and one in Houston's Hermann Park.

At Denison, in Grayson County, Justin Raynal amassed a nice estate from his Main Street saloon. He left it all to the city for the purpose of buying a site and erecting a school. The city built. the school, named it for Raynal and then erected a monument to his memory on a downtown street.

Ve stredu dne 31. brezna 1965 To byla tedy prvni reakce Rafaelova — bez otce nic. A postupne, jak jsme Sli umrlei komorou Augustint, galerii °brazil a sedice v tmave hospode v Trastevere vaude najednou mezi jinYm rozhovorem, prohodil razne poznamky k tomu Zivotopisu. "A musia tarn napsat, jak v mein mladi jsme iIi jednou v kniZecim zainku a podruhe nam na ulici fendovali hodinky pro dluhy —" "Ano, to byl Zi yot! kdyZ si na to vzpomenu — to me middi!" Bylo videt jak mu najednou v hlave propukly stare vzpominky. "Priati rok mama oddych, sednem Si tedy k tomu v Luzernu!"

NadSene jsem slibil. Moje nadSeni se vaak Casein pomalu manila v hrtizu — jak postupne jsem zaeal si opatrovat material — o rodu Kabelikt, o Janu Kubelikovi, o vYkvetu basica tradice muzikantske, o naSich hudebnich pedagozich a dobe, ktera je vynesla nahoru — o Rafaelovi a jeho sedmi sourozencich, prehledy koncertri a jejich kritik, o vlastnich komposicich a jejich rozbory, o fenomenalni technicce — otce v houslich a syna v govani — — — Zatoeila se mi z toho hlava. Houslista jsem a muzice rozumim, ale zpracovat takovyto material — to bude trvat roky! A já se chvastal Rafaelovi, Z'e to bude Zivotopis takovY, jake pive pan Herzog — chci rici Andre Maurois! Prostudovat si osobnost a jeji prostredi tak, Z'e se elovek apine ztotoZni se s yYm objektem. KdyZ Maurois psal o Flemingovi prostuoval si chemii vaeobecnou i tu jeho tak, Ze byl jako chemik Fleming.

Pozdeji jsem se dovedel, 'Ze mu to -ail.pravila vae jeho aena, ona se prevlekla za chemika a on jen seal v Neuilly a psal. To ja, ne — kdYZ tr'Z' — tak u'Z, — musim to prodelat sam.

A popadl jsem Dedeekovy "Zaklady dirig,ovani", aby mne "nechybelo rerneslo (jak rikal Suk), kdyZ' budu s Rafaelem mluvit o dirigova,ni. Zjigt'uji take k mama prekvapeni, Z"e prave ten Dedeeek byl Rafael:tr y profesor genstvi na konservatori! Jsem tedy na spravne stone! Vidim hned, Z"e dirigovaari je velmi komplikovane remeslo, "ktere vyb.duje velkeho nadani, primo bohate vyvinuteho instinktu a houevnate pile". Jako lu'Steni hieroglyfa — na priklad. Vaimam si ted' teprve,'Ze dirigent pie taktovkou ye vzduchu opravdu presne hieroglyfy kOdY rytm a kahla, "doba" ma svoji znaCku. "A rozumi tomu pak ti pani v orchestru?" zapochybovala rnoje dcera, ktera mi dela orchestr. Doufejme!

SeAli se tu vlastne tti geniove nezapomeririme na Kubelikovy Stradivarky "Emperor". Po Best let takto koncertovali otec a syn (ta Kubelikova Setska!) i p11 zajezdu do Ameriky.

Otec a syn se lisili od sebe temperamentem, meli vAak mnoho spoleeneho: spoleenou hoUgevnatost, touhu po dokonalosti spoleene pojeti hudebni tvorby i kdy mladY Rafael citil moderneji, kiasiku miloval stejne jako otec pro dokonalost vnittni stavby a harmonie, oba milovali umeni a dobte ho znali a oba planuli stejnou laskou ke svemu narodu. Ve vSech techto kladech pokraeuje Rafael intensivneji a intensivneji. Oba — otec i syn — prodoma vYhni protivenstvi. Otec za nacisticke okupace, kdy ji g Sedesatilety a churavY vypjal svoji energii do silackeho kousku deseti jubilejnich koncerta celeho sveho vrcholneho repertoiru v sinich, ktere pro2ivaly delirium nadgeni. To byl jeho boj s okupantem. A Rafael? Narodil se do svetove \Talky a prail apoteosu svobodne Republiky hned po ni — pak co zraly ji.2 umelec: okupaci, za ktere byl gefem opery v Brne. A zde manifestoval podobne jako jeho otec v Praze — zaeal s Prodanou Nevestou a koncerty s nejdra2imi skvosty Ceske hudby — tak2e se i zde opakovalo delirium nadkni potlaeenYch. Nemci pochopili a open' zavheli. Za rude okupace pak Rafael jasne naznaeil, kde je jeho misto a zustal nekompromisne v zahraniei, kde na perutich hudby nese dal do sveta manifestaene vise Ceske, hudbu i ducha naroda.

Rafael mel laYt houslistou, ale jeho huclebni nadani bylo tak v geobecne, 2e se jasne vyrilsoval jeho dirigentskY profil jig v mladi — i kdy zastal dobrYm houslistou i pianistou. Spoleene s otcem meli pak nadani skladatelske, oba stvotili na sta komposici. Otec clr2e1 se housli a orchestru, ale Rafael citici vice dramaticky se vyznaeil te2 co operni skladatel. Zejmena jeho opera Veronika vzbudila v Brne sensaci. Napsal celkem etyti opery, dale kontaty a pisne, sbory — pak hudbu komorni i orchestralni, ktere vesmes se vyznaeuji lahodou, pevnou stavbou i smyslem pro dramatienost a kontrasty. Je snad dovoleno prozradit, 2e chysta noyou originelni operu.

Vrcholne skladby Rafaelovy, je2 vznikly jig v exilu, jsou jeho Requia.

Jan Cimbura

J

JIHOCESKA IDYLA Pokraeovani U Cimbura hanbou, ze to tak spletl, zapomnel ye dvetich i na ktest'anske pozdraveni — cely zmaten poloZil papirek na, lavici a jako by mu hlava hotela, upaloval k domovu.

"Poekej, poekej," volala sice na neho i Cimburka, ktera byla sama doma, shanela po kapse nejaky krejcar nebo mis, aby poslieka odmenila, ale kolude LIZ se drZet nedalo.

"I beZ si, divochu," v duchu se hospodyne vadila. Cipem zastery opatrne, aby listku neublilila, jej se stolice zvedla, poloZila na stil a zataila kalendatem.

"Copak to asi bude?" dradila ji zvedavost od kamen, kde strojila jenom tak vSedni obed — zakudlanou polevku nejakou a hnetanky. Divala se na zaZioutlY, sloleny papir "neco od outadu asi," hadala v duchu "a dobreho jiste nic, obsilka nejaka nebo upominka — outady kdy si na eloveka vzpomenou — Pane Bak, pomoz," vrastila Marjanka, "nejlhp to chytit a hodit do `vokenieky' — at' to uholi — jenZe tim bych nic nespravila — pHletel by jiny papir a je gte horsi, s pokutou." A tak nechala papir pekne na svem mist& Ponotila se do zcela jinYch rnyelenek. Vzpominala, jak pane se jim tu na chalupe Zije. Od to chvile, co ptekroeili prah tehle chalupy eastokrat si Septne muZ, "koneene ye svem", aZ ji to nekdy zamrzi — jako by mu /lady byla dala citit, ze u Piksa nehospodatil na svem. Ale takovi jsou muZi! Pavouci neady, kteti ptedou sit' s yYch z ylaStnich myAlenek i nazort. Cimbura jeSte ze veech je pavoueek ji nejmilejM. Jako by omladl, toei se a beha celY den -- Martinka s 1Vlariannou prohani.

Trochu ho mrzi, ze tu na chalupe nemule kone chovat — ale zato hovezi dobytek maji, ze se mu v Putimi nevyrovna. A jak to neas utika! Usedla si pri tom svem rozjimani na stolieku u plotny a poeitala, jak dlouho tomu, co VaMka jejiho hlavieku drahou, zem tlaei, co mel Jan svatbu a co se oni p •istehovali sem do Kidskova. "Jak to beta utikajh!" povzdychla, si. Vtom zasyeelo na plotne jako v hadim hnizde, kotouee pary a gtiplavY zapach Sitil se svetnici. Jako ugtknuta, vyskoeila Marjanka, holou rukou po-

10 padla krajde za ucho a razem jej odstavila aZ na cihelny okraj plotny. "To main z toho," plisnila se v duchu, "2e si vakeni nehledim a v inyelenkach se toulam po minulu," ale pomoci Si nemohla.

Sotva dye tki linetanky v troube obratila, ohen v okenicce poopravila 112 zase ji ty vzpominky pkilakaly ye syti earovnY kruh. Nu, pekne se ji 2ivot utvakil musila se priznat — jen Cimburovi mohla dekovat, 2e se ji ujal. Z moealu na sucho ji vyvedl u deti po nebatikovi nejen vybez choval — a 2ivnost eistou jim odevzdal. Jan — jak Y je chdlapi jak hospodaki — dvakrat ye dvou letech u2 kktili mladi — a Frantik ji2 take nejezdi u sládkU u Skuhrii v Pisku, u2 nevozi v koedru ani jemnostpana dekana, ani mestke pany — ale tady v Putimi v hospode. "Na stare" u Srnkil eenkuje pivo. Pri2enil se a dobice pki2enil a Cimbura — hie — jeete chalupu koupil — Martinkovi jednou ji pked6, a Marianne -Ono vyplati. "Jakeho to imam jenom mu2e!" zavelebila polohlasite — "ach milj Bo2e, hnetanky" — vzpamatovala se nahle — to podezkelY praskot ji probudil.

Rychle otevkela troubu a u.2 videla, 2e je zle dYni se valil proti ni, vytahuje placieky skoro spalene na uhel.

Litovala toho boeiho daru a skoro plaeic se tazala — "co se to dnes se mnou deje — jsem cela nesva, — a to yeecko to psani," vylevala zlost a nevra2ivYm, zlostnYm pohledem zavadila zas o ne.

LeZelo tam na stole neviiioueke, belave, jakoby usmevave. "2e te spalim!" pkiskoeila k riemu Marjanka a u2 sahala po nem, kdy 2 ozvaly se venku na zapra21 kroky a vesele hlasy.

To Cimbura se synem i dcerou vraceli se s louky. Venku byla "rozbkiet", mrazy povolily, snih tal, "jarni voda" se eekala a proto stoky na lukach musily bYti v pokadku. Bylo slyeet jak venku na zapra2i odkladaji ryee, motyky a lopatu, Martin jak jde rovnou do chleva a Marianna jasnYm hlasem void na dirfir "puta, puta, putputput put," — jenom hospodak vyzul dkevenky, vchazeje do svetnice.

"Pan Bah te pozdrav, mu2i. e u2 pkece jdete," vitala ho cela, uzardela 2er.a.

"Dej2 to Pan Bi111. Stalo se neco?

Kamna ti kouki asi, vymetuje."

"Nevymetej — nekouki — ale ja hnetanky peeu a spiuila jsem je a to jen pro to psani tam, co na tebe na stole eeka."

VESTNIK

Cimbura podival se na still a optal se, dkiv ne2 se ho dotkl: "Kdo je sem pkines1 a od koho je?"

"Vojtieek Hamakii, s nim pkiletel, ale ne2 jsem se optat mohla, kdo je kluk — pudivitr utekl, take ani od cesty nic jsem mu dat nemohla."

"Tak je to od starosty a podivame se lined, co je v nem," a sahl po listku. Chvili do neho hledel a pak lekl 2ene: "To je zle psani. Ani jsem si nevzpornnel, ale za mne vzpomneli Si pani — posilaji los pro naeeho Martina — vytahli ho k odvodu. Bode jiste vojakem."

"Co povidde? Ja myslila al za rok, 2e bude rekrutem."

"Povidam, co tu stoji &me na bilem," vice slova nepromluvil a vylel yen.

A plillo jaro do Putime. Lide 1 stromy davaji se k jaru stkihat a holit — jenom 2e lide chodi k holiei, ale ke stroll-aim chodi holieove sami — re2ou a lamou jim uschle vetve a stIlhaji koruny. Jaro je tu! Citi je lide i zvilata i stromy. Lido kupuji si noye laty, zvhlata linaji a stromy take si vybraly a objednaly nove, zelene, kvety posete roucho.

Do te radostne doby kladou vojenIti pani tak smutnou udalost, jako odvod k vojsku. Ve Vodrifianech, Mirovicich, Bleznici, Blatne, Strakonicich, Volyni, Hora2d'ovicich, Sulici, ba al v Harmanicich, KaeperskY'ch Horach, Plánici, Klatovech, NYrsku a oveem take a hlavne v Pisku odvadeji synky k 11. regimentu. Boty uherky na nohou a kloboueek s tim neet'astnYm losem za pentli Id letos i Cimburovic Martin easne rano za muzikou mezi rekruty. Matce nedalo, aby se k polednimu nerozbehla do Pisku.

"Tu ma,e klobouk," volal na, ni starosta Hamak hned na rii2ku. "Martin si koupil modrou eepici s rtiliekou," a podaval ji Cern kloboueek.

"Odvedli ho?" vyklikla matka a nohy se pod ni zachvely leknutim.

"A snad jsi nemyslila, 2e ho pusti?"

"Kde je? Kde je?" ptala se nedoekave.

"Kde by byl, v kasarnach, weer ti ho plivedem."

A plivedli Martina, plivedli. S plaeem vitala ho matka, s fismevem vital ho otee. "Mush to bYt tak se kormoutit. Tli beta utekou jako tki dny — svet a lidi poznae, pokadku zv y kn el, poslouchat a poroueet se naneg."

ye stledu dne 31. bf.ezna 1965 "Zkazie-hi se, ani domii nechod' a k narn se nehlas," tak loueil se potom po sv. vaclave Cimbura s e svym vlastnim synem na na,mesti v Pisku pled kasarnami.

Martin narukoval. V chalupe p0 nem tesknili. Sesedli se jeete 112eji, jako by se k sobe plivinuli — otec S matkou a dcerou Marianou — a nizkb, doekova, chalupa, jako slepice na, kulatech, sedic phi semi pkikrYvala je.

Veichni vzpominali na Martina, vzpominali na neho i Jan i Frantik, kdy2 "na hra,tky" philli se 2enami a detmi k Cimburtim bud' v nedeli odpoledne po po2ehnani anebo v dlouhYch zimnich veeerech.

A zvldete ted', kdy se znovu poealy trousit povesti o hrozici valce. Veude bylo toho pino i v novinach j v kalendafich. Po poutich a vS7roenich trzich chodili "zpevadkove a naohrommich obrazech kkiklave rnalovankch ukazovali 2asnoucim di vaktim ukrutnosti, jel pale ohavny Turek na bratrech Slovanech, na khest'anech na dalekern jihu, na Balkane.

Lehce vznetliva krev mladika se bourila, pesti zatinali mu2ove a 2eny s pla.oem se odvracely, kdy2 slyeely tu dojemnou pisen: "Kdo jsi khest'an pravY, slye, co Turek dravk na k?est'anech pale, vra2di bratry naee."

Piseii do podrobnosti uvadela, jak "psi janieaki note rozpalujou a tëhotnm 2ivot rozparujou" — jakYch ohavnosti dopoulteji se na mu2ich — jak jim ukezavaji uhi i nosy a takto zohavene, srubane hlavy jak "na han2arech nosi", jak na koly je nard21, jazyky z fist rvou, jak oni ditek malYch a nemluvnYch neueetki; ale nejvice pobukovalo, "jak nevinnon zavlekou do stanu, jak ji prsy utinaji, as ji utS7raji" — "Krev potokem teee, uchopte se meee 6, verni kkest'ane, at' o2 to phestane," pkimYm vy2vanim koneila pisen, je2 se prodavala i s notou a obrazkem po dvou krejcarech. Ma na draoku, vykonavajic znamenite sve poslani — phipravit naladu pro valku, ke ktere se schylovalo. "A he to nab cisak trpi", — "at' se spoji s Ruskem a vy2ene Turka do Asie nekam," nedoekave, z nabo2enskYch i vlasteneckYch 1adalo vekejne mineni. Doekalo se.

Roku 1877 vzplanula valka rusko-turecka. Car Alexander II. tasil ince za svobodu slovanskYch ria,rodu — Rtisove

Ve sttedu dne 31, btezna 190 ptekrodili Dunaj — potom Balkan_ dobyli po kr yavYch bojich prtiismyk Sip ku a koneene i pevnost Plevno. — "Plevno padlo — slava Rustim," ozYvalo se po Oechach. Mesta i vesnice na oslavu potadaly slavnosti, prtivody, Huminace — ba i m'ge svate v mnohYch kostelich slouZili.

Zase zpivalo se po trzich a poutich: `Osman pa§a, u Plevna dostal ranu do stehna a Ze nechtel pevnost dat, stkihali mu na kabat."

V kaZde vesnici men asponn pet psti, kterYm kikali "Osman" nebo "Turek" aneb, "Sultan". Ale ku podivu — vlada no.S"e se neradovala. 6etnici stihali pokadatele slavnosti, oslavy zakazovali ruske sympatie dusili. "Co to? Prod a sad? ptal se prosty rozum Cimburtiv i jinYch. Nechapali, Ze rakouska diplomacie zarli na Uspechy ruske, nestarali se ani ted' o zahranieni polltiku, nic jim nebylo do evropskYch mocnosti, ktere se obavaly sily Ruska, kdyby se zmocnilo Catihradu — a proto je zastavily ye viteznem pochodu, donucujice uzavtit mir.

Nespokojenost, ba prim° trpka zorhokeenost ozyvala se vSude, aZ koneene vzeglo yS'em svetlo.

"Ma§irujem do Charvatska," psal z vojny struene Martin, ale za to srdeene, az dojemne se s nimi se vS'emi loudil.

"Mi zlati rodidove, nevim, shleclameli se na tomto svete jeAte s vami a Vy se mnou a tak Vam za v' ecko ruce nohy libam a nastokrat `Zaplat' Pan Bah kikam. Pkijdeme je§ee k zpovedi a pkijimani, tak Vas srdeone prosim, abyste mi odpustili vS'ecko.

still — table dobrk, a, e — good na stole —on the zlY a, -- bad table wicked na tabuli — on the Cerny, a, e — black blackboard bilk, a, e — white pohadka — fairy tale • • Mluvnice — Grammar 1. In Czech the adjective must agree in gender form with the noun that it modifies. Example: malt still, (small table, maid kniha, (small book), male okno, (small window). In the vocabulary there are adjectives given showing the three gender endings Y, a, and e.

2. In the reading exercise the feminine nouns kfida, pohadka, and kniha, are spelled with the ending u. This is because in Czech When a noun is used in some function other than the subject or predicate nominateive, it must be put into a case. The aforementioned feminine nouns are in the accusative case functioning as direct objects answering the question "what?"

The feminine nouns ending in a change this ending to u when used as direct objects.
