FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A friend with, a huge income isn't going to leave much of a fortune when he dies. He wants to enjoy the fun of giving right now. He says it will give him no thrills to have his money distributed after his death.

A modern fable by some unknown author helped him to form his present philosophy of giving.

A rich man said to a friend, "Why is it everybody is always criticizing me for being miserly when everyone knows have made provisions to leave everything I possess to charity when I die?"

"Well," said the friend, "let me tell you about the pig and the cow. The pig was lamentM• to the cow about how unpopular he was. Said the pig, `People are always talking about your gentleness and your kind eyeS. Sure you give milk and cream, but I give even more. I give bacon and ham I give bristles, mil they even pickle my feet. But nobody likes me. Why is that?'

"The cow thought a minute, and said, 'Well, maybe it's because I give while I'm still living'."

ANOTHER BABY BOOM LOOMING ON HORIZION Probably Will Top Record If Late '50s Another baby boom?

You can just bet your bassinet on

it, reports the Institute of Life Insurance.

The boom will not be immediate, but a record 4.5 million babies are expected to arrive on the American scene in 1980 -- topping the former record of 4.3 million births in the late 1950s.

The reason: between now and the end of the next decade, the number of young adults 18 to 34 years of age will increase by two-fifths another echo of the spectaeular baby boom following World War II. What this all amounts to is one baby boom begetting another.

The Institute, citing recent studies by the National Industrial Conference Board, reports that: —An estimated 2.5 million marriages are expected to take place in 1980, compared with about 2 million this year.

— There arc now about 60 million households in the United States. By 1980, that figure is expected to rise to 76 million — an increase sf, some 25 per cent.

Great Impact The projected baby boom will have a far greater social and economic impact than that of the late '50s, the Institute notes.

The increase in births in the '50s was in large part of families having their third, fourth or fifth child. But many of the babies born in 1980 will be first

And if these couples react like most young married couples, the juvenile goods market can expect an immediate rise in sales. The same probably will hold true for the housing industry.

Growing Family When the second child arrives, families are apt to start thinking of buying a home in which to rear their children. And, of course, family responsibilities become increasingly important at this time. This is when most breadwinners review their family security arrangements — life insurance, health insurance, and pension plans -to be sure of the provisions made for the growing family and for ultimate retirement, the Institute observed.

Births in the United States have been declining for more than a decade.

Less than 3.5 million children were born here last year. When the baby boom was at its height in the late '50s, a total of 123 youngsters were born each year for every 1,000 women of childbearing age. By the late 1960s the ratio had dropped to 85.

As for marriages, about 1.7 million couples were wed in 1950. In 1963, the figure was about the same.

Paradoxically, although a record number of births is expected in 1980, the number of children in the nation probably will not increase. During the next decade, the number of teenagers turning 18 — thus being statistically classified as adults — will about equal the number of births in 1980.

Fraternally, Mrs. Gloria J. Janke, Youth Leader ---SPJ LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Readers, The annual picnic was a huge success. I would like to thank ALL the CHILDREN for their help in the game department. You did a good job. I would also like to thank the fine group of ladies from the Harvest House who performed for us and also the Mathis Family for their fine entertainment.

I must not forget our Lodge 4'l girls, who are the district talent winners, they also performed their numbers for us. Thank you, Dana, Cathy, Janette and Anna Rose, and also their accompanist, Sister Vlasta Divis. You all did a fine job as we received many compliments about the program. On behalf of Lodge No. 47, I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way in making our picnic a success.

This is the day just before we leave for camp Val Verde, so a few last words about it. We will assemble at Ferguson Park and plan to leave the park for Camp Val Verde at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 7. We will return on Saturday, August 9 at 8:00 p.m. and will unload at the park. You were instructed at your last lodge meeting on what to take and about what to expect out of camp. The chaperones had a meeting at Sister Laverne and Brother Johnie Vanicek's home on Wednesday night, and worked out the final details. The way it looks to me, anyone who is eligible to go, should do so, or they may be sorry they missed out on all the fun and excitement.

The camp plans sound wonderful to me and you should take advantage of such an opportunity and go camping each year.

Plan to attend the State YAD, which will be held in Taylor on August 17.

There will be some wonderful talent and crafts from the whole state.

Here is hoping to see many of you at these activities.

Odmleela se, jako by zavahala nokraeovati.

"Potom se to stalo s tim ditetem?" tazal se Domin zvedave, zaujat osudu Cileina. "lined ne. Jednou se nii Cilka zpovidala; to byla ve dvore v Zalesi a setkaly jsme se v lese na houbach.

8esteho dne po nastehovani Cilein6 do dvora Sochor, stoje na postranni ceste nedaleko dvora, spattil hlavni aleji ttjj,Wti ke dvoru elegantni povoz. Zadival se na kone, hadaje, odkud asi jsou. Znal piece skoro vaechny ko-

28 ne v okoli, al etyhle nevidel nikde.

Teprve kdyz povoz uz zajiZdel do vrat u dvora, Alehlo mu hlavou, 2e koear je mu znam, je to piece koear Braneckeho. A uz si vzpoinnel, ze mu o svatbe kikal, ze pojede na nejbliki chrudimskY trh, aby koupil nove koedrove kone. Tedy z TornaSova je povoz a prijel jim asi BraneckY s Verou, aby se mu pochlubili peknYm spreZenim.

V koutku jeho srdce sice se ozvalo jakesi znepokojeni, nejednou-li nail k vuli Cilce, ale ochnitl je jako zbyteene.

Namiril si rychle ke dvoru, aby tarn byl liodne brzy. Cilka, bude vAecka zdeAend a zmatend, dosud si nevi v prekvapeinch rady, a jeAte by se ji mohli posmivati. Az jim to klidne vylo21, jiste oba zrnoudreji a nebudou si z ubohe Cilky tropiti gaAky. Znal dceru dobre, ale neznal ji do hluboka. Jeho znalost byla povrchni a byl ze sve ditverivosti vyleeen zpflsobem, kterY ho v rozeileni a f„0,as pHvedl. KdyZ prichazel mezi vrata, prave vybehla Cilka ze dveri obytneho stavein.

"Kam beZTA!" vzkrikl zlostne a citil, jak se jeho zilami vztek rozleva.

Zarazila se, podivala se na neho, a propuknuvAi v plae, hlavu mezi rameny pkikreila a Ala dale.
