In r issue of The Fraternal Mmlitor, On the . editorial page is a very interesting article about the question of which fraternal benefit society is -really ,theoldest in the U.S. We herewith reprint the article and wish to state that we agree with it, wholeheartedly.

"The Oldest Society: Which society is the oldest fraternal benefit society in the United States? Several lay claim to this title, including Czechoslovak Society of America, Ancient Order United Workmen and Catholfic Family Life Insurance. Others which also appeal' to,be over 100 years old prefer to remain aloof from the discussion. case the matter is of historical interest, we believe that it would be. worthwhile for a committee of qualified but objective experts to do some research and present a documented case for the society which is really the oldest.

"In the meantime., all of the societies involved in the dispute could be asking themselves these question;;: Have w e reachdty196wiarecod can truly be proud Si? Do we have progressive leadership, an active lodge system, and an outstanding fraternal benefits-insurance package for our nembers? Are we attracting enough young member's, young field representatives, and young home orrice management personnel to guarantee that our society will still be around to celebrate its 125th anniversary?" million Americans had almost individual annuities in force with the nation's life insurance colupanies last year, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. Annual income now payable or to be paid in the foture under these plans amounts to iielily $1 billion, The amount ran $118 million or 14 per cent higher than in 1667. Ft was the largest dollar increase ill history.

The typical annuity 13010 O. regular

Wednesday, October 1, 1969 monthly income for life, even if the amount already paid out exceeds the annuity holder's contributions.

Deferred Income. The 1966 benefit total of $962 million included $238 million already being paid, plus $724 million in deferred yearly income, to become payable as annuitants reach specified ages. A total of 1,478,000 individual annuities were in force with life companies last year, compared with 1,330,000 in 1967.

While some individual annuities are purchased for employees under insured pension plans, most are bought by individuals; often older people, to guarantee themselves a regular income for the rest of their lives.

The level of current and future annual income for 7.5 million holders of group annuities was $3.6 billion at the end of 1968, an increase of $407 million over the previous yea e.

• NATION IS HEALTHIEST DURING SUMMER, Summer is the season when your chances of staying alive are better than during any other season of the year.

The Institute of Life Insurance notes that the death rate in the nation is substantially lower during July, August and September than for the rest of the year.

One reason seems to be the season's mild weather in most parts of the country.

Death rates due to pneumonia, tuberculosis, and several other respiratory and infectious diseases run signifiCantly lower in the summer. SO do deaths froM heart and circulatory diSeaSe, which are often caused by reSpiratory ailthents or physical strain in extreme weather.

rict Seven Secretaries: I would like to know when, where and at what time your lodge meets, and also send me the name of your organizer or organizers. If you do not have an organizer — inquire at your next regular meeting if anyone is interested in becoming an organizer for your lodge. If anyone is interested have them get in touch with me and I'll give them all the information. If no one is available, I suggest that one of the officers become an organizer for his lodge. To continue to grow, we must have organizers. Your help in this will be greatly appreciated.

Note: Lodges Nos. 56, 79, and 117 may disregard above request.

Thank you very much.

the meeting and get them. I have been sending most of them out by mail, which costs the lodge money.

Dear Members, Congratulations, King Robert Urban, from the members of Lodge No. 84!

We're very proud — may your year as the reigning King of SPJST bring happy thoughts of your many accomplishments as a member of the teen club. We wish to congratulate Queen Janice Haskovec, Duke Donald Petr and Duchess Rita Krajca. This was "your day" in Seaton — Dist. 3.

Plan to attend our Sunday, Oct. 19th meeting and stay to enjoy the Czech Concert Orchestra directed by Bro. Sid Pokladnik and dinner prepared by the Entertainment Committee — remember to be friendly at the social afterward.

We wish to welcome James Campion, Sr., Mary Campion, James Campion, Jr., and Dennis Janousek. Plan to attend a meeting soon to let us get to know you; as did Sis. Omelina who transferred to our lodge and brought along guests, Bro. and Sis. Charba of Lodge No. 130.

Get-well cards were sent to Bros.

John' Greer, Carl Mandak and Weldon

Ve stiedu 1, rijna. 1969 Ilockworth. All were reported to be progressing well.

I have lost one of my most avid readers, never was anyone more interested in my articles. Mama always secured the Vestnik one way or the other, reading and sharing the news from front cover to back, with the other ladies who were interested. I miss her. May God grant her eternal peace.

There will be at least five circles of the Moravian Beseda and many, many circles of the Czech Beseda, from Dallas and surrounding cities — even El Campo and Houston to entertain you Oct. 5 — American Czech Day — at the Texas State Fair starting at 10 a.m. in the Livestock Coliseum. Join the crowd and enjoy the Sokol exhibition, the Czech Choral group of Taylor, Texas, children's folk dances, West, Texas KJZT Juniorettes, KJZT and KJT teen club singers of Dallas, plus that wonderful Czech Concert Orchestra music which Bro. Sid Pokladnik will be directing. And don't forget to have your parents enter the "oldest married couple present" contest. At 1:15 p.m. a Beseda Circle from Lodge No. 84 and the Taylor Choral Group will be entertaining at the Women's Building, which is on your way to the Band Shell, where Czech food and beverages can be enjoyed while listening to the Charlie Adamcik band on stage. As you relax for a moment, notice the beautiful costumes (kroje) or walk over to the souvenir counter, where unusual Czech items will be for sale.

If some of your friends are latecomers — be sure to direct them to the Mobil Stage from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Jerry Milani will have a group of Sokols to perform and Helen Oates will have the Moravian Beseda Circle to thrill them.

This is one day you will be able to attend and have a feeling of being among your kind of people because, no matter where you visit on the grounds of the State Fair, you are sure to notice and be noticed by a friendly Czech — get acquainted, who knows, it might be the Czech Day Chairman, Bro. John Bubak; don't miss the chance to get to know him.

If you're in Dallas, Texas, the Saturday before that big Sunday, Oct. 4, visit our lodge at 2625 Floyd St. The Johnny Mensik Band bf Ennis, Texas is playing that wonderful waltz and polka music for dancing. The entertainment committee hopes you will bring your friends with you.

See you at the Fair next Sunday.

Fraternally, Rose Stott.

LODGE NO 47, SEATON Dear Members and Friends, The regular Oct. 5, 2 p.m. meeting is creeping up fast.

Organizers have you notified all the members you wrote up and .have policies issued for from Jan. 1, 1969 to Oct. 1, 1969? If you haven't please try to do so. There will be an initiation of all these new members right after the business meeting.

If anyone gets missed by a personal invitation and you became a member between Jan. 1 and Oct. 1, come out and introduce yourself. You will be most welcome. There will also be a meal served to everyone. Ladies, please bring along some sweets.

Bill and Lillian Kosarek, Leon Sodek, and myself worked in the kitchen when the Ray Krenek Orchestra played and we could hardly stay in there and make those hot dogs, barbecue-on-bun, popcorn, coffee and lemonade. The music could really move you. I heard only compliments on the music. They really played a variety of songs.

We have some good bands coming: check the calendar and the local papers, the Temple Daily Telegram covers a lot of ground. Lee Roy Matoeha will be advertising Seaton Star Hall dances on KMIL, Cameron.

The Temple Civic Theater will sponsor a special dance Thursday, October 23 at the Seaton Ballroom. Music will be by Wayne King and his 14 piece orchestra. This will be a semi-formal affair. The Temple Civic Theater promotes a- lot of good live entertainment for the benefit of the whole community for both youth and adults. They sponsor worthy students to Temple Junior

S College. Tickets will be available at any Temple Bank. Let's all be generous and back this maybe once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Wayne King in person.

I know lots of folks have heard hint on the radio but seeing him perfortn is entirely different.

The Royalty at Seaton hail one of the quietest audiences I have ever .heard. They are really improving, They gave the contestants all their attention, Thank you everyone, See you later.

Fraternally, Ruby (Pavlica) Bolton LODGE NO. 92, FORT WWII' Dear Brothers and Sisters: The regular monthly meeting 'of Lodge Svaz Cechoslovamt, will be held this time on Wednesday evening, Oct. 8, at 5:30 p. in. There will be luneh or supper first and our good sisters are asked to please bring some pastry. The lodge will furnish the rest. We sure hope there will be a large attendance.

Many of you have dividends coming so come to the meeting and claim your check and save our financial secretary Bro. Joe Krivanek, extra trouble and work, by sending you the dividend.

Brother Joe and Sis. Inez Krivan& are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary, this comin?-. Sunday, Sept.

28, at the National Hall at 3:30 in the afternoon. First, there will be a dinner and, at 6 p. m., a dance. They invited many of their relatives and friends.

We wish them good health and good luck for many, many years. May they also celebrate golden and diamond anniversaries.

We are saddened by the news, that Bro. Louis Haba, had one of his legs amputated above the knee, this past Monday. in a Houston hospital and is facing losing his other leg too. BrO. Haba has been in the hospital over a month now. -Bro: Haba was the husband of my only sister, who passed away in July, 1960. We wish Louis a speedy recovery and hope .he will not suffer any more.

At the last meting, Bro. Albert Karlicek was reported sick and in the Lisbon Hospital in Dallas. We sincerely hope he is better or at home by now.

Brother and Sis.. Joseph Batik, Si*. have a visitor from Czechosloyakia.

They have so many kin-folks around, that we didn't have the pleasure of meeting him yet. We do wish him a -pleasant visit. ..

So many of our members are planning to go to Taylor on the 12th of

10

V S

October for the dedication of the new wing in the S. P. J. S. T. Rest Home and that's why we had to change the date on our regular monthly meeting.

Now, we have one of our members there, Sis. Anna Kubala, and many friends we know and we are all looking forward , to seeing them.

The Ladies' Circle of Lodge 92 will meet as usual, the second Thursday, October 9 at 10:30 in the morning in National Hall. At the last meeting the Circle donated $10.00 to the S.P.JS.T. Rest Home in Taylor in loving memory of our Sis. Mary Paprskar, who was treasurer of the Circle and had done so much for it. She is missed every where.

We received the Vestnik today and there is the whole program of the Czech Day at the State Fair in Dallas, October 5. The Committee must have worked awfully hard to get such a program together. The least we can do to reward their efforts is by a large attendance. Come one, come all and wear your national costume if you have one. Be proud of your Czech heritage and bring your American friends to enjoy the day with you.

Did any of you know that the everbeautiful dance, Beseda, was composed 105 years ago last month? Since then it has been performed at all special occasions! Let's be proud of our Czech nationality and keep our Czech traditions as long as possible. See you at the State Fair on October 5.

OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM By Preston Smith Governor of Texas Austin, Texas GREETINGS: Czechoslovak Day at the State Fair of Texas is traditionally celebrated to highlight the contribution of Czecho slovak early settlers to the development of our nation.

Beginning with the year 1840 and continuing into this century, there was a continuous stream of Czech early settlers flowing from Galveston into Central and South Texas. They built many fine farming communities, and as the urbanization of Texas•progressed, large numbers moved into all major cities, where they have constituted a hard-working and successful element of these communities.

Texans of Czech descent have maintained a number of fraternal, social and gymnastic organizations throughout the State, with particular emphasis on youth.

It is fitting that the people of Texas recognize the achievements of these outstanding citizens.

THEREFORE, I, as Governor of 'Texas, do hereby designate Sunday, October 5, 1969, as CZECHOSLOVAK DAY in Texas.

In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my signature this 26th day of August, 1969.

Preston Smith, Governor of Texas

5. Becky Schiemenz — Piano solo.

6 Steven Stanislav — Song 7. Cynthia Slovak --- Two piano selections.

Those having birthdays in September were: Dorothy Gerlich, Dorothy Morris, Annie Hanus, Kimberly GasImmo, Silas Smith, Jessie Briggs, Ray Moore and Joe Domesle, Jr. The cake was baked by Tana Kutni.

The meeting adjourned with the youth club meeting following. A delicious supper was then served. Music and dancing then followed, with Tony Chudej and his band playing. I'm sure everyone had a nice time.

16 LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Readers: On Monday night, Sept. 22nd, we had a covered dish social in honor of the participants of State Talent and Royalty. It was well attended with about fifty youth and 50 adults.

I would like to thank Brother James Janousek,- our State Youth Director, and his wife, and children, for being with us that night. Also, Brother and Sister Nick Morris, the president and the head of the youth department of the Supreme Lodge. Brother Morris gave us- a fine talk and praised the youth for their fine performance, but told them they should be proud of what the SPJST and the local lodges are doing for them and so they would in turn do something for their own local lodge. The talk was verys inspiring and educational, even for the adults. Thanks, again for the fine speech and for being with us Brother Morris.

As you know, in our September meeting, we had a photogra pher come and take pictures of the youth and also the membership at the September meeting. The youth club sponsored this project and are now selling these pictures (size of picture is 8x10 ins.), and they sell for $1.00 each. If you are interested in one of these pictures, contact me or some of the youth at our October meeting; we will have a few on hand and also we will take orders for them. We will donate a size 8x20 picture of the whole group to the mother lodge. This is not a money-making project; it is only to help us pay for the two large pictures, which we will keep in our lodge hall.

Remember; our next meeting is Oct. 5th, at .2 p.m.,: and. after the adult: meeting,. we will have an initiation supper in honor of all the new.-inethhers who, our lodge from Jan. 1st to Oct. 1969.

VPSTI‘IfK LODGE NO. 35, EI,K Dear Readers and Members, Our September meeting was very well attended. That's great! Next month let's make it 100%! We will have our liquid embroidery. I will be there around 2:15 to let you pick your canvas and during the adult meeting we all can be busy as beavers, painting.

Yours truly and family were greatly honored Thursday, Sept. 18, with the presence of our distinguished Supreme Lodge President, his family and our SYD James J. Janousek in our home. The main reason for their visit was the preparation for the Tex. as State Fraternal Congress .banquet at which the Banik sisters will represent . SPJST. The banquet will be held Friday night at the Alico Center Inn (Oct. 17). We all can hardly wait, but when the time arrives it will pass too quickly.

Now, something about our Thanksgiving dance to be held on Thanksgiving night beginning at 8 o'clock to 12 midnight. The band is a marvelous, western, band. They are relatively new and have a great sound. I was just wondering if I could not get some of the great people at Elk to donate some door prizes such as a sheet, pillowcase, glassware, a pot to cook in, etc. If you would like to make a donation please contact me at a lodge meeting or call me at AC 817 446-5683. Any type of donation you make benefits the Elk Youth Club and is greatly appreciated. We want to go to Six Flags in June, 1970 and our treasury says we need money for that trip. We also have charity projects to be done before May, 1970, and we need to be thinking of some projects.

As soon as football season is over we will be going skating. Happy times come to those who wait!

LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Members, Sunday, September 14th, I was honnored to be chosen the State King of the SPJST. I consider myself very fortunate to have received this title, for I realize that I am representing all the youth of the SPJST. To me, this, is the greatest' and most meaningful award I've ever won. To represent our youth is to represent the greatest there is.

Such an honor is not won by one person alone, and there are several people I wish to thank for helping me: my parents, my sisters and their families, my district youth leader (Mrs. Nesuda of District III), and all the people of District III who selected me to represent them at the State Royalty Competition and supported me along the way. I would also like to thank Mr. Nick Morris, President of the SPJST Supreme Lodge, for helping

11 Make it possible for me to be at Lodge 47, Seaton, for the contest.

I would also like to congratulate the new State Queen of the SPJST, Miss Janice Haskovec, of Lodge 25, Ennis, also of District III. I know she will represent the SPJST very well. I would also like to congratulate the new State Duchess Rita Ann Krajca and the new State Duke Donald Petr. These two are real fine youth and their new titles are well deserved.

Of course, no contest is a contest without outstanding competition. The Kings and Queens from the other districts, without a doubt, supplied very tough competition. To the Royalty who participated in the State contest, I extend my heartiest congratulations on your victories within' your respective districts. I hope your reign is one of accomplishment and success.

Special congratulations are in or der for Queen Nancy Zalmanek of District V", and King Ronnie Sralla, of District VI, who were first runners-up at State.

Finally, I'd like to thank Lodge 47, Seaton, for their generous hospitality in hosting the State Royalty YAD. It was my first trip to Lodge 47, and I must say that the friendly atmosphere I encoutered there, now makes it one of my favorite lodges.

Once again, I'd like to thank the membership of the SPJST for selecting me State King. I am most grateful for the honor and I hope I prove worthy of the title.

Our last activity was Saturday, Sept.

20. We had a hay ride that was different because our trailer had a. flat a long way from home. We had no spare tire and the jack didn't want to work. After our driver, Tom Valek and his assistant, Eric Moucka, went back to town for another tire, we got going again in about 30 'minutes we were again on our way. After the hay ride

we were all treated to some refreshments at our neighborhood BurgerMaster. It was all so much fun.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA'S LAND AND RESOURCES Theodore Dusek, Jr. Caldwell, Tex 77836 Czechoslovakia is a long, narrow, landlocked country that looks like a house slipper. Since Czechoslovakia has no seacoast, it is surrounded by Germany on the northwest, Poland on the northeast, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic on the west, Austria on its southern border, and Hungary on the southeast.

The size of Czechoslovakia is almost exactly the size of New York. It has 49,354 square miles. Squeezed into this small country is the large population of 13,224,000 people.

Czechoslovakia has three natural regions which were once the country's former political divisions. They are Moravia, Bohemia, and Slovakia. Bohemia is located in the western part of this land-locked country. It is a plateau that has the shape of a saucer.

The rim of the saucer is a ring of mountains that surrounds the entire edge of the plateau. Small gaps in the mountain range lead to northern and western parts of the country. The Center of Czechoslovakia is covered by the Moravia region. Moravia slopes downward from the mountains in the northern and western part of the region to the valley of the Moravia River in the southern part of the region.

Slovakia, the last region, is located in the eastern part of Czechoslovakia.

It has the highest mountains in the country, They are the High Tatras, which reach the stunning height of 8000 feet.

The Labe, (also called the Elbe), and the Vltava, (also called the Moldan), rivers flow in a northwest direction through. Germany and then to the North Sea, drains most of the region of Bohemia. The rest of the country is drained by the majestic Danube River and its four branches. They are the Moravia, (in the southern part -of the Moravian region), Vahe.* Nitra, and Broil. The Danube River flows in a southwest direction towards the Black Sea. Czechoslovakia contains no large. lakes. However, in the mountains, there are numerous small mountain lakes.

The climate of southern Canada and

Wednesday, October 1, 1969 of Czechoslovakia is almost the same since they are almost both on the same line of latitude. They have hot summers and cold winters. The tem• perature of Czechoslovakia average 70 degree F. in the month of July and ranges to 20 degrees F in January weather. The country of Czechoslovakia usually receives from 20 to 40 inches of rain annually.

The western part of Bohemia, the southern part of Moravia, and all of Slovakia, all have deposits of the valuable minerals and coal. The northeastern part of Moravia contains another valuable mineral, iron ore. Besides coal and iron ore, Czechoslovakia has other assorted deposits of other minerals which include gold, silver, mercury, lead, manganese, zinc and graphite.

Because of the many rivers and their many branches, this land-locked country has a very large potential for cheap and useful hydroelectric power. The Government has built damns and hydroelectric plants at many places on the rivers. Many of the dams provide for irrigation as well as for electric power. Thus, these dams offer a dual purpose which increases their value.

ce, kcie bYvaji postihovani predevim CernoSi start necelYch tricet roku sarkomy jater. Do tehot pasma Afriky se promita i tzv. Burkittil y nador, v Evrope vribec netriamY. Je to zhoubne onemocneni, ktere se projevuje obrovskYm zvetSenim lyinfatickYch uzlin, zejmena na krku, a ktere postihuje bohutel hlavne deti a mladistve. V soueasne clobe prevladd nazor, te by mohlo jit o piipad rakoviny viroveho pdvodu.

Virova teorie o vzniku zhoubnYch nadora se totit studuje ut clelSi dobu, ale perikaz jeji platnosti byl zatim poclan jen u pokusnYch zvirat v ojedinelYch pripadech. Pokud jde o lidi, stava u dohada. Jedno je vSalc jiste; jde o viry neprenosne, u nicht neni motnost nakazy. 0 tom ostatne svedCr i prrunerna nemocnost celYch kolektiv i, se na Went rakoviny neastni.

Epidemiologle a biostatistika ukazuje, ze zatintco u belocha je rakovina preclevSim nemoci lidi starSich (i kdyt se samozrejme mladYm nevyhYba), je typicke pro eernochy a tlatou rasa, te se it nich rakovina vyskytuje v daleko inlaMich vekovYch skupinach, a itlute rasy okolo triceti let s velmi eastYm postitenim jater a taludku. Zda se, te zde ureitou roli hraje kvalita i kvantita strawy, dokonce se v nekterYch padech nasly i podezrele latky.

V zapadni Africe se dornaci obyvatelstvo tivi prevatne rostlinnou stravou a trpi velkYm nedostatkem bilkovin. Jako eaj piji odvar z rostliny zname u rids pod nazvem stareek nebo bylina svateho Jakuba. Bylo uz prokazano, te nadmerne utivarni teto latky mute tonsobit rakovinu jater — ale jen v techto africkYch oblastech.

Podobne na ostrove Guam v Tichem ocetine utivaji domorodci nadmerne cykasova semena, ktera rovnet obsahuji karcenogenni einitele. A zatimco v Evrope rakovina jater tvori 0.2 at 2 procenta v gech ,druha rakovin, zde dosahuje asi 25 procent a u kmene Bantu v Africe ad 40 procent. Rakovina jater nevznika ani tady nahle, ale predchazi ji dlouhotrvajici zanet interni tkane, z nebot se vyvine tzv. cirhoza, ktere se u nas HU. ztvrdnuti jater, a teprve na tomto terenu vznika na d o r.

Nektere epiclemlologicice studie odhaluji prieiny rakoviny jako velmi proste. Je tornu tak napriklad s tzv. rakovinou "kangri", ktera se objevuje u 0byvatel horskYch oblasti v Inciii. Ti nosi v zinre na biTSe pod s yYmi spliPtiavY-

mi plagti build lampleky,, kterYrni se snati ohrat. Pochopitelne dochazi ke spaleninam kfite, ktere se hoji jizvami a v techto jizvach se vyviji jeden druh kotni rakoviny. Jina takove prosta prieinna souvislost je v Egypte, kde v oblasti ftdoli Nita spousta domorodcti trpi rakovinou moeoveho mechYte. Pi-itom prakticky v:Sichni jsou zamoreni pritivnikem z nilske vody, tzv. bilharziosou. Dostane-li se tento parazit, do rn000veho mechyte, drat& jeho stenY, at vznikne chronicky tank, a posleze i rakovina. Stejne je tomu s vYskytern rakoviny v dutine Ustni v oblastech Dalneho vYchodu, kde domorodci tvYkaji betelovY ()tech s pi-kW/kern nehaSeneho vapna. Zde je rovnet slit nice vystavovana soustavnernu poAkozovani, az z toho vznika, rakovina.

Ne valycky jsou ovS'em souvislosti mezi ykskytem nemoci a mezi jeji prieinou zcela jednoznaene. Je napriklad znamo, ze se v Izraeli v prisne ortodoxnich rodinach daleko rnene east() vyskytuje u (ten rakovina delotniho eipku net jinde ye svete. Na torn se mute podilet vysokY hygienickY standard, danY take statnim nabotenstvi, ale i jiny cinitel, rovnet nabotenskeho podkla du; je to obrizka, ktera zpirsobuje jinou chemickou skladbd predkotkoveho mazu (smegma) net u mutd bez °britky. Ve smegmatu neobrezanYch byly totit dokazany rakovinotvorne latky.

Tim ovkm neni reeeno, ze nemocnost tidovskYch ten na rakovinu je Srovnavaci Studia dokazala, ze elm merle trpi rakovinou delotniho eipku, tim vice mail rakovinu prsu, a to tedy celkova nemocnost na rakovinu je stejna.

Zda se, te pokud jde o rakovinu prsu, pusobt u ten vliv hormonalni, nebot', jak jinn srovnavaci studie ukazuje, vyskytuje se tento druh rakoviny daleko easteji u Evropanek a Amerieanek, net naptiklad u Japonek nebo domorodek ze stredoasijskYch republik SSSR. Prieita se to tomu, ze Japonky koji prakticky sve deli minimalne do jednoho roku a Turkmenky at do doby kratce pied narozenim dal'Siho ditete. A jestlite "zde bYva v rodine 8 -- 10 deti, lze si snadno spoeitat delku kojeni a z toho vyplYvajici hormonalni zmeny u ten.

VAeobeche je znamo, to jeclnim z hlavnich einitelti pro vznik rakoviny plic je koureni cigaret. Proe vi4ak v Koreji, a to jak v severni, tak i v jitni, je yYskyt rakoviny pile velmi nizkY, a pritom se zde kouti velke mnotstvi cigaret s velmi silnYm tabakem a vet‘Sinou zaoinaji kourit ut chlapci okolo dvanacti let? Velke statistiky anglicke jasne prokazaly, te evrop.§ti kuraci kourici vice net dvacet cigaret denne jsou ohroteni rakovinou pile daleko vice net mirni kuraci nebo nekuraci.

ZbYva vSak yyre§it, co je vlastrie tim AkodlivYm einitelem; je to blite nejasna latka obSagend v tabaku, nebo je to selen a jeho stopy V eigaretovem popilku ei vetk mnotstvi polonia v eigaretach (kclyt ov'Sern polonium se vyskytuje i v rade potravin) a do ;lake miry, se na tom podili atmosfera vYfukovych plynu ye velkomestech, pokrytych typickYrn smogem?

Zatimco naffteme ut dries opravnene varovat pied kourenim, 'deka nas jete nmeho price k faktickemu vysvetleni priein, jejich souvislosti a mechanismu freinku.

Mohli bychom pokraeovat ve N/Yettr krajovYch rozdilft ykskytu rakoviny, ale pro vysvetleni yYznarnu epidemiologickYch studii postaei to, co jsme uvedli. Snad ut jen posledni pripominka.

U nas v aeskoslovensku, kde je pomerne mnoho radioktivnich surovin, objevi se eas od easu podezteni, ze prirozene zdroje radioktivniho zareni zpilsobuji v tech el onech mistech vet: c31 ykskyt rakoviny. A sta.ei park pretittie z,pravy z italskeho tisku, te ye trech italskYch obeich at 50 procent obyvatel umira na rakovinir strev a taludku a te voda, kterou tam piji, je velmi radioktivni, aby se ony obavy znovu projevily a abychom byli znovu zaplavovani dotazy, jak je tornu u nas. Zaklady statistiky nas v,§ak uel, ze neni merino na na'Se kraje generalizovat poznatky ze tri ital skYch vesnic, kdyt nevime, jaka je tarn veloya struktura obyvatel, zda nepatri do onech typickYch oblasti jinni Italie, kde pochopitelne pri koncentraci starch lidi je vyMi vy. s1;y1 rakoviny sam o sobe.

A jak je tomu _1 se stale opakovanou otazkou, zda rakoviny pribYva? Nemusime chodit daleko do mreta, postaei na'ge vlastni statistiky. Jostli podle

To znamena, ire stale vie lidi Zije ye veku, v kterem se rakovina be vyskytuje a ge tedy vzestup paetu onemocneni rakovinou je relativni, v fizkem vztahu k prinnernemu veku obyvatel.
