g June 14 has been National Flag Day since 1.916 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it so. Back in 1885, it was like any other day — except that it was the last day of school in Fredonia, Wisconsin. Bernard J. Cigrand, the 19-year-old schoolmaster for Fredonia's Stony Hill School, want-

ed his pupils to carry their lessons of Americanism throughout this summer vacation. So, before dismissing them, he gathered them into a quiet circle in the schoolyard and conducted a brief flag-raising ceremony. As the flag jerked up the branchless sapling that served as a flagpole, he mused that

everybody should be • carrying with them the lessons of Americanism year 'round, throughout their lives.

He conceived a sort of "I'm Glad To Be An American" day while doing graduate work and continued his efforts to promote this idea. But, it was not until Dr. Bernard J. Cigrand had

If you saw a man driving down a • road toward a. bridge that had been Washed out, you would stop inim and warn him wouldn't you?

If you saw a child crossing the street in front of your car, you'd slow down until the 1:C'•_ the curb, wouldn't you?

Likewise, if you knew a man whose death would make it necessary for 1.tiF, Wife to support the children, you would tell him how easy it is to provide some income for that potentially fatherless family, wouldn't you?

If you knew a. !wheel teacher, a doc,

Wednesday, June 9, 1971 tor, a grocer, or a farmer who was putting money into places that would make no guarantee whatever — trading dollars representing life energy for a speculative chance — you would tell him of the life insurance plan, wouldn't you?

If you saw a young fellow earning big money for the first time in his life, and frittering it away, you'd try to tell him to save some of that money for a rainy day, wouldn't you?

The selling of life insurance is simply discovering needs, and telling persons how life insurance also will satisfy those needs.

Disciplining the child. Spank them but don't slap them is good advice for' mothers to follow when it is time to discipline children. Indiscriminate slapping is wrong. It deludes many overworked mothers into the belief that they are administering discipline when actually, they are merely finding an outlet for their own exasperation.

There is a need, however, to emphasize the distinction between spanking and slapping. Spanking is a rare occurance. Slapping may become a daily habit, when your own weakness over a long period has induced a state of habitual disobedience in your children.

Children are not capable of reasoning too strongly in their early years. The power to reason develops with growth, at a rate largely determined by inherited faculties. So, 11111e68 parents refrain from expecting obedience until their children become capable of reasoning, there must be some method of training suitable to their more primitive intelligence.

Otherwise, by the time a child can reason, say at six or seven, habits of disobedience have become so strong that they are very difficult to break.

No normal adult likes causing physical pain to someone weaker than himself. He loathes spanking a child and his own cowardice constantly urges him to overlook a fault just once more because spanking is so unpleasant. Any adult with a sense of justice, however, realizes that for deliberate disobedience, a deliberate punishment is necessary. Most persons do not spank their children in the heat of temper. If they are tempted to do so, they heartily despise, themselves afterward.

One of the most common errors

made by those who condenm spanking is that they approach the matter horn the child's point of view. But human relations are 50-50 affairs, and the parent is entitled to have his point of view considered. The world is not a paradise especially designed for children. It is a training ground for character. A child must learn slowly and painfully to control himself before he can hope to govern others in later life.

Be sure and come to our next meeting on June 14, at 7 p.m., and pick up your cheek. The checks that arrived are for the following• : Balusek, Frances; Elsik, George L.; Sehovajsa, John 1).; Sklar, Albert and Vnek, Joe A. I want to thank Auntie for her nice letter, now I know that you read the Vestnik.

The farmers An this vicinity are holding on to what they have, that which has come up; sonic are plowing to get their fields:ready, if it rains, to plant later on. In some parts of our area we had 3 to 4 inches of rain, and at other places, Just a trace. All of us know that it will rain some more sometime, but it may not be at the right time. We have been having promising weather, however, the clouds will not jar loose.

Speaking of gardens . . . as far as my garden is concerned, what little I have, I can water my flowers and lawn to keep them beautiful and green.

The farmers and ranchers are really having it "smutne" (sad) and that includes us. We have a few cattle. A person could make a washboard out of their ribs. If it keeps on being so dry, and I hope it doesn't, then I will have to look for a job or go broke, which I am already. Maybe Gene can find an opening for a job in Waco, and let me know. You know me well enough to know what type of job I can hold.

For instance, I could get your mail or help you put your coat on. I will not join the union, as I have my mind made up just for one price. I have to write something humorous because crying won't help make it rain.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Ed. (Vlasta) Baros, Secretary LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Members, Our regular monthly meeting will be held at . 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 14.

It is very gratifying to come back after some forty years and to find an organization like the SPJST and a publication like the Vestnik in existence and both performing an out)Standing public service.

In behalf of the Lost Prairie School Ex-Students and Teachers Association I thank you and your organization.

It will be deeply appreciated if the following is published in the next issue of the Vestnik.

The Lost Prairie School Ex-Students and Teachers Reunion was held on Sunday, May 23, 1971 at the Lost Prairie School, the site of the historical marker.

There were 125 ex-students, teachers, and guests in attendance.

We wish to thank Mr. R. W. Cer. venka of Waco, for his letter in which he gave historical data regarding living conditions and school life in the area of Lost Prairie, Seaton, and Kominsky schools in the late 1890s and Orly.

1900s.

Sincerely yours, Jerry J. Chudej, Past President MST SOFTBALL TEAM LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters, This will be a very favorable report since I have two victories to write about for the week of May 24th.

Tuesday night, May 25, we played S. H. Lynch, a city major league team and we won by a score of 5 to 3. Lionel Schultz hurled a very fine game, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk, and 8 strike!A puts.

Or, a stamped, self-addressed envelope may be sent to me at 2309 W. 11th, Irving, Texas 75060, and I will send you your chock.

Leading hitters were Bob Schoendienst with 2 singles, Harry Wilkerson With 3 singles, Albin Vrana with a triple and a base-on-balls, Wiley Beesley and Connie Brennan with singles, Jack Scott with 2 walks and Lionel Schultz had a sacrifice.

It goes to show you that our team can and is capable of playing very good ball. I hope we can continue to improve during the second half of league play.

Thursday night, May 27, we won our second game in a row by taking a 7 to 0 decision over Verson-Allsteel. Jim Scoggins pitched a no-hitter, which is quite an accomplishment. He walked 5 batters and struck out seven in registering the first no-hitter in our league. Leading hitters were Jerry Manak with a triple, Sonny Grant and Albin Vrana, each with a double, Wiley Beesley and Harry Wilkerson each had a single and a walk, Paul Valenta walked three times, Jack Scott two times and Leonard Drozd one time.

Monday night, May 31, we played Approved Electric and dropped a 7-to4 verdict. It was a game we really should or could have won, but a couple of errors, a mental error, and two of our players collided resulting in a 3run error, which was probably the turning point in the game, but luckily, no one was hurt, and this was more important than the runs. It was still a close and interesting ,game. Leading hitters were Albin (Bino) Vrana, with a double and three, singles, Lawrence Ilonza with a triple and a sacrifice fly, Bob Schoendienst and Connie Brennan with singles, Jim Scoggins had a sacrifice, Paul Valenta and Jack Scott each had a base-on-balls.

The Softball Team Benefit Dance was a huge success Saturday, May 29.

It was well attended and everyone present .enjoyed the music of the Johnny Mensik Orchestra. We wish to thank our mother lodge for the use of the hall to hold our dance, and also thanks to everyone who contributed with gifts, donations, and your presence. Our most sincere thanks to everyone who helped make our dance such a success.

We have not received our schedule for the second half of play, so I cannot include the schedule of games for next week.

THE FAMILY LAWYER Oust Student Demonstrators?

May a college student be suspended or expelled from school for taking part in a campus demonstration? The question arises nowadays with growing frequency, and courts are beginning to lay down some guidelines in this sensitive area.

To start with, students have the same freedom of speech, press, and assembly as everyone else in the community. They do not bargain away their constitutional rights just by enrolling in college. Take this case:

Age

Cert. NI.),

A332 C1493 D2147 MX48213 A2307 A9066 A75 F-335 A1193 C4687 D332 C40935 D3467 W40668 C10483 C290/B3892 A11015 A-5641 A7591 D1441/D3384 B1222 20T31388, 079953, Pd-up26841 A9204 A11390

R. A. Urbanovsky, Secretary, Supreme Lodge, SPJST

A state college decided to nip trouble in the bud by requiring permits for any and all "parades', celebrations, and demonstrations." When students staged a peaceful demonstration without a permit, they were prom ptly suspended.

But in a court test, the permit rule was struck down as a violation of the freedom of assembly. The court said: "Colleges, like all other institutions, are subject to the Constitution."

But if colleges are subject to the Constitution, so are students. If col-; lege powers are limited, so are student rights.

In another case, some students were suspended for forcibly blocking access to the campus placement office. In court, they invoked their freedom of speech, arguing that 'blocking the office was simply one way to expressing their opinions.

But a court decided that freedom of speech did not stretch that far. The judge said:

12 "They have rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Those rights, however, are not a license to trample upon the rights of others, the enjoyment of which is equally precious."

Likewise, the Fourtiwnth. Amendment — against discrimination does not prevent the college from exercising reasonable flexibility in meting out punishment.

In another case of student violence, the college impose,d tougher penalties on graduate students than on undergraduates. This was challenged in court as discriminatory, on the theory that students who commit the same offense should get the same punishment.

However, the court, decided the school's "discrimination" was reasonable enough under the circumstances.

The judge said it made sense to expect greater responsibility from older students than from younger students.

CATTLE FEEDING SUGGESTIONS FOR DROUGRT AREAS When drought conditions cut grazing short, hay and a little protein supplement fed in a dry-lot program might offer the stockman an alternative that lets him maintain his livestock and conserve the animal's energy.

Hay can be used as the only feed, but without small amounts of legume hay, a protein supplement should be added to the ration, according to L. A. Maddox, Jr., Extension beef cattle specialist.

Ranchers who feed as much as four pounds of alfalfa hay daily per head with sorghums, prairie or Johnson grass hay may find that they can eliminate the protein su pplement, he says. On the average, four pounds of alfalfa hay supplies as much protein as one pound of cottonseed meal.

Dry cows and cows with calves can be maintained in a. dry-lot for several months on an all concentrate ration.

For dry cows to be properly maintained, they should be on a ration of eight to 10 pounds of an all concentrate feed with about seven percent of digfestibie protein propOdy fortified with, minerals and vitamin A, Maddox adds.

Cows with calves, that are expected to remain reasonably healthy, should be on a daily ration of 14 to 16 pounds

vPsTlIfic of all concentrate feed that contains eight to nine percent digestible protoin.

Besides feeding cows in a dry-lot program, calves can be put in a creep feeding program to increase weight and insure better physical condition of the dams at weaning time.

Creepfed calves tend to grow out uniformly and shrink little at weaning if placed on feed in a dry-lot.

While concentrate feeds are ordinarily used in creep feeding, combinations of roughage and concentrates mixtures may he used, especially if pastures are short.

Farm grains such as oats, corn, wheat, and milo, along with pellets and cubes are good feeds for creep feeding, according to Maddox.

Wheat and milo should be ground for feeding to calves, but shelled corn and oats may be fed unground.

Ground ear corn and home mixtures of ground ear corn (85-90 percent) and cottonseed meal (10-15 percent) can also be used.

Maddox reminds stockmen that selffeeding any of the concentrates in creeps is safe so long as the calf gets even a small amount of milk.

SPORTS AFIELD

By Ted Resting "I thought I had seen the plastic Worm fished in every possible way, until I caw John Hadad, III, winner of the recent bass fishing tournament, and his unbelievable loose-line technique," avows Angling Editor Homer Circle of Sports Afield. "With it he landed 29 of 30 bass while other good fishermen using plastic worms landed no more, than 60 to '75 percent of their takers."

Let's analyze the Hadad technique for those of you who would like to try it. His casts are comparatively short, about 2.5 to 30 feet. He feels this is far enough if the a pproach has been q uiet. Also, he gets in more casts per hour: As the worm settles toward bottom, Hadad's rod tip drops to keep the line

Wednesday, June 9, 1071 slack even on the cast. And his eyes are locked on that line where it enters the water because a good percentage', of pickups conic as the worm sinks.

A pickup is signaled by any number of line reactions, such as lateral movement or a faster sink rate or a minute side- twitch. At times, the line just keeps on going as a ,bass grabs the 'worm and heads for cover. Hadad is ready for any of these, If he gets no pickup on the cast, he reels the slack out of his line, lowering his rod tip as he does so. Then, he raises his rod tip high, and now is when he suddenly flips his lod downward to import slack to hid line. Can you envision the results?

If you do much worm fishing, you know that the worm takes a sudden plunge toward bottom, pulled down by the sinker, the instant the line goes slack. This is precisely what it does at the beginning of each cast.

In ether words, that .sudden dive of the worm toward bottom is what grabs the bass' attention. And the loose-line retriever repeatedly sends the worm diving toward bottom. The more of these quick movements a worm makes, the more attention it is bound to get .from bass.

But, there's one big plus to this looseline method. Did you ever watch a bass take a plastic worm? I have many times. Picture it, and remember. It explains much lack of success in hooking bass on plastic worms.

When a bass takes a plastic worm as it sinks after the cast, it virtually inhales the worm because the line is slack and offers little. resistance.

Mister Bass just opens his jaws, flares his gills, and the worm is sucked into the bass' mouth — with no forward motion of his body.

However, when a bass approaches a worm being retrieved on a tight line, he usually approaches it from behind.

When he opens his mouth and flares his gills, the worm can't flow inside because of the line tension. So, the bass grabs the worm by the, tail.

You will know this by a number of tugs on your line as the bass moves off to eat the worm. If you set the hook too soon, you will jerk the worm out of the bass' mouth. If you wait too long, he may drop the worm the instant he senses it is a phony.

Wednesday, June 9, 1971 ITALY'S MOST RECENTLY DISCOVERED TREASURE: THE CITY OF SPOLETO If you are in love with Italy, but feel you must break the habit and try someplace new — take the new without losing the old and visit Spoleto.

Spoleto is in the least traveled province of Umbria, only 90 minutes from Rome. Founded three centuries before.

Christ, the city is the proud possessor of a Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre dating from the 1st century A.D., and the Duomo (Cathedral), first constructed in 1000 A.D., which has been enlarged and decorated over the centuries by such outstanding artists as Fra Filippo Lip:pi..

- The visitor to Spoleto will also walk among Etruscan ruins, Romanesque churches, medieval shops and Renaissance, palazzos. Spoleto also boasts the Festival of Two Worlds.

In 1958 Gian Carlo Menotti initiated the first annual festival to afford young artists the opportunity to perform alongside their European contemporaries and internationally es;tablished artists. The Spoleto Festival encompasses all thearts; it is unique and distinctive from all other festivals.

This year the festival will be held June 24 — July 11.

The festival has added to the architecture and art of the town with such gifts as a massive sculpture by Alexander Calder, which rests permanently outside the town's train station. In 1967, the same year his United States pavilion for EXPO '67 won world attention, R. 13uckminster Fuller donated a smaller geodesic dome, the Spoletosphere, to the festival with, the proviso, that it be donated to the city at the end of the festival, and in 1968 Isamu_ Noguchi's play sculpture was displayed in the Piazza del Duomo and subsequently placed in the town's Public Gardens, where, it will remain, another permanent donation to the town's monumental collection.

Spoleto is truly a city of the arts, enjoying . the Festival of Two Worlds in Julie and July, an opera season during the winter, and organ concerts and theatre throughout the year.

The gourmet will be enticed by the famous black truffles of Umbria, and the sightseer should be delighted to pass a few days in one of Spoleto's modern first class hotels, which are springing up yearly to accommodate the festival crowds and take a daylong excursion into Assisi, Perguria,

OF NITROGEN OR IRON CAN YELLOW LAWNS Texas homeowners who have St.. Augustine grass or Bermuda grass lawns which are turning yellow instead of growing thick and green should look for nitrogen and iron deficiencies in their soil.

The nitrogen deficiency causes general yellowing of the lawn while the symptoms of iron deficiencies are yellow, bleached spots in the turf, according to Al Novosad, Extension pasture and turf specialist.

He notes that iron deficiencies develop mainly in alkaline soil and the upper Gulf Coast and parts of East Texas are usually the only regions in the state that don't lack iron.

For the most rapid and effective. correction of iron deficiencies, Novosad recommends spray applications of iron etiolates or iron sulfate. Ile points out that soil applications are also helpful, but warns that they may not correct severe iron deficiencies. 'f.P ertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should be applied in the early spring and again in the . early fall to eliminate nitrogen deficiencies, he advises. In addition to this he recommends applications of LACK

A MEXICAN CZECH'S GIFT TO HIS PEOPLE Last February a number of papers, particularly those in Mexico and Czechoslovakia, reported the sensational discovery of a golden treasure of the Mexican Emperor Maxmilian Habsburg in the store rooms of the National Museum in Prague. It was also reported the Prague Museum possessed, among many other valuable items, a "wonderful necklace dating from pre-Columbian period," and that the treasure had been brought to Prague by an "Austrian intellectual of Czech descent."

Verifying the story we found that the National Museum in Prague indeed owns a big set of cutlery and table utensils made of metal, china and glass, a valuable collection of Mexican decorations, medals and coins dating from the so-called Second Empire period, and a set of eleven paintings. The entire collection, consisting of 1,248 items, is registered under the name of the "Hereditaments of Maxmilian, the Emperor of Mexico." An explanatory note says: "Bequeathed to the National Museum in 1909 by Baron Kaska, an apothecary in Mexico." Having carried out a detailed

14 examination of the entire collection we are now in a position to cast more light on the matter. To start with, there is no "Emperor's necklace dating from pre-Columbian period." Rather, there is a golden chain of the highest decoration of Imperial Mexico: the Order of Mexican Eagle. Fortuna tely, there is no need to change the terra "golden treasure" as many of the above mentioned decorations, medals and coins are indeed made of gold.

Aside from that, the briefness of Maxmilian's reign and the resultant limited number of relics to this kind make the "treasure" a highly valuable collection. As for the paintings, they represent the most valuable part of the collection. There are eight paintings by the best Mexican landscape painter Jose Maria Velasco (1840 -- 1912) whose works are highly valued in Mexico. In fact, they may be compared in that respect with the value attached in Czechoslovakia to the works of Josef Manes and Mikolas Ales. The report also correctly mentioned that the collection was bequeathed to the National Museum by a Mexican apothecary of Czech deseent by name of Dr. Frantisek Kaska.

However, who was this Dr. Kaska, how did he get to Mexico and how could he bequeath to the National Museum in Prague objects which, in most part, used to belong to Maxmilian and should have been, therefore, properly deposited in a Mexican or Austrian museum? In search for an answer, we must turn the clock back more than a hundred years. . .

The expansionist colonial policies of the French Emperor Napoleon III led to the French armed intervention in Mexico during the 1861-67 period. Mexico was a liberal republic. Following its occupation, Napoleon III decided to use that country as a political counterweight to the United States on the American continent, making it a state of roughly the same type as 'France and devoted to French interest. Under the threat of French bayonets, the people of Mexico obeyed the French recommendation and "elected" Maxmilian Habsburg (1832 — 1867) as Emperor of Mexico. Maxmilian was accompanied to Mexico by the Imperial Mexican Volunteer Corps whose task was to provide military support for the new Emperor. Members of the Corps belonged to all the various nationalities of the Austrian Empire, including a number of Czechs. The en-

` 2STNIK tire Mexican adventure was a complete failure. Maxmilian was brought before a Mexican republican military court and executed. Following his death! the Volunteer Corps was brought back to Austria. However, some of the volunteers remained in Mexico and settled. down there, One of them was Front Kaska.

He was born on February 12, 1834, at Horazd'ovice in southern Bohemia.

In 1859 he became a cadet in the Austrian Army. He studied chemistry and completed his studies on July 21, 1863 by obtaining a doctorate in chemistry at the Vienna University. Having joined the Volunteer Corps, he sailed to Mexico in February, 1865, as a military apothecary. In 1867, following Maxmilian's defeat, he remained in the country's capital and in 1874 opened a drugstore there.

Dr. Kaska was a highly successful man both in society and science. He became an honorable member of the Sociedad Mexicana de Historia Natural and other scientific societies. In 1884 — 85 he took part in the World Exposition in New Orleans where he put on display a number of chemical and pharmaceutical products and received a Medal of Merit of First Degree. He was also decorated by a number of Austrian, Spanish and other orders and medals.

Despite the fact that Dr. Kaska lived in Mexico for many years and achieved world-wide recognition, he never forgot the country he came from. Starting in the early 1890s, various museums started receiving his contributions.

Aside from some Mexican . minerals presented to the Museum in . Plzen and the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague the Emperor's crockery and Mexican Indian embroideries. The same year the Museum of the Kingdom of Bohemia (today's National Museum in Prague) received from him various minerals and meteorites for its mine ralogical department. On November 15, 1904, Dr. Frantisek Kaska became an active member of the well-known Society for the Museum of the Kingdom of Bohemia. No wonder he decided to bequeath his extensive collections to that museum. Throughout his stay in Mexico, Dr. Kaska collected various Mexican relics and rarities both from the pre-Columbian period and the Empire period. The Mexican Government, in spite of Kaska's close friendship with President Porfirio Diaz, however, permitted the exportation of only

Wedneeday„Tune 9, 1971 a part of his collections. All items dating from the pre-Columbian period had to remain in Mexico. That is why the National Museum in Prague received only a part of Dr. Kaska's bequest: Maxmilian's hereditaments, Kaska's own orders and decorations, and his collection of paintings which is just now causing quite a stir in the cultural circle in Mexico.

Dr, Frantisek Kaska died in Mexico City on May 10, 1907, at the blessed age of 73. His life, his adventures and patriotism made him one of the remarkable personalities of Cech and Mexican history of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centurils, as well as one of the most outslAnding and most successful Czechs living abroad, at that time.

TEXAS DEER HARVEST HITS AL TIME HIGH More hunters took more deer during the past open season than ever before, hunted more deer rairge than in the previous season and paid. more money to hunt.

Data compiled by the Texas Pal ks and Wildlife Department shows that the state's deer herd continues to increase, up more than five percent last season to a total of 3,279,626. And the 1970-71 kill was up 11 percent over the previous season of 290,695. That amounted to a harvest of 8.86 percent; of the population; in 1969-70 the harvest was 8.4 percent of the total herd.

Number of hunters increased slight -ly,upamostfiveprcnto504,1.

But greatest changes in the figures from last season compared to the one before were in numbers of paid and "free' hunters. About half of them, 237,507, an increase of 11 . percent, paid to hunt. The number hunting free on their own or on friends' lands was 266,907, a decrease of less than one percent from 1969-70.

"Economic trends during the past season," according to Robert L. Carlisle, administrator for technical programs, "may be reflected in the department's deer harvest and hunter survey, which also shows they hunted on 12 percent more of the deer range.

Of the area used, the number of acres paid hunters used increased 15 percent while the acreage free hunters used increased only nine percent.

"This is illustrated," Carlisle added, "in the rise of paid day hunting, up by 40 percent, and a definite dip in

Wednesday, June 9, 1971 business or corporation hunting lands under lease, down 40 percent. Acres leased by private groups increased 20 percent and by sportsmen's groups 40 percent."

The survey covered both white-tailed and mule deer taken in the state, but does not include deer harvested by bow hunting nor those taken illegally.

Of Texas' 77 million acres of deer range, the report also showed, '7.3 million acres were not hunted.

Carlisle said in many areas of the State the deer herd is underharvosted.

Even with increased hunting pressure resulting in an increased total deer harvest we still ended up with 133,000 more deer after this season than we had after last: year.

"In the areas where we have our largest deer population we need a 20 to 25 percent herd reduction for a healthier deer population," he said.

-SPJST-PROPOSED GAME LAW

AMENDMENTS Proposals which would expand the state's either-sex deer season from four to 24 counties are among recommendations were aired in public hearings slated across the state by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, May 3-7.

The hearings gave local sportsmen and landowners opportunity to discuss the proposed changes in the state wildlife proclamations before the changes are considered by the Parks and Wildlife Coro mission.

The experimental either-sex deer season was started successfully last year in Grimes, BOSMIC, Palo Pinto, and Victoria Counties. The counties added for the 19'il-72 season are: Brown, Mills, John son, Shackleford, St-apt-ions, Threckmorton, Crockett, Edwards, Hays, Echleieher, Sutton, Travis; Val Verde, Brazos, Williamson, Coryell, Lavaca, Calhoun, Matagorda and Wailer.

Antler.I. , ss deer have traditionally been harvested in any areas of the state, but only under a "doe permit" system wherein landowners are issued permits on a basis of acreage.

Biologists say the either-sex season is justifiable in areas of high deer concentrations where the deer herds tend to become overpopulated. The either-sex season also eliminates many of the administrative problems inherent in a doe permit system, officials point out.

One of the changes which would af-

feet all the state's regulatory counties is a recommendation to put an 11inch minimum length on all channel, blue and flathead catfish caught in Texas waters.

Another proposed change would make it illegal to possess game fish (crappie, white bass or largemouth bass) while fishing with or having a net in possession at the same time.

Further, it would be unlawful to have in possession or aboard any boat or in any vehicle, any fish other than rough fish, as defined, while fishing with or possessing a hoop net, trammel net, or gill net.

The latter change was suggested to aid game management officers in their enforcement of laws protecting game fish. Often the GMOs check persons who are in possession of both game fish and a net, but who claim the game fish were taken on hook and line.

Another proposed change defines as illegal the practice of "snagging" fish with hooks jerked through the water.

Also to be considered as a. statewide law would be a change to make it unlawful to shoot turkeys on their roost.

No official recommendations for changes in quail or bag limits will be brought out in the hearings, because department officials want to assess results of summer quail population surveys before recommending seasons and bag limits.

by either house. This is a gross injustice to the legislature and to the people of this state. Conference Committees are not restricted under the rules of the House, and this is how special interest items can be included.

Here are some of the many items listed in that Appropriations bill which I voted against: 1. $22 million for the districts of 10 members on the Conference Comittee.

2. $200,000 to defend unjust, unconstitutional Redistricting bill.

3. Approximately $5 million telt the Speaker's district for a new Aspital which was twelfth on the list of priorities.

4. Raises Governor's salary to $63,000.

5. Appropriated $800,000 to purchase the Austin Hotel.

G. Raised appellate judges salary to $30,000.

7. $6.9 million for the (teration of the Senate including a $2400 per month expense allowance.

The committee left out a rider which required state agencies to keep a list of personnel who use airplanes for state business. The public should have a right to know how their planes are used, but the leadership chose to delete this. In essence, this Appropriations bill has approximately $200 million in "pork barrel' wasteful spending and in no way can be justified.

KUIGIAK'S LEGISLATIVE REPORT Governor Preston Smith called us back into Special Session for the consideration of three matters which should have been considered during the Regular Session. The leadership chose not to do this, and the Governor opened the call on the following items: 1. Congrtissional Redistricting.

2. Taxation on Liquor by the Drink, 3. Updating of our antiquated Liquor laws.

A new Appropriations bill calling for $695 million in new spending was railroaded through the House during the closing hours of the Regular Session. This does not include the funding of the second year of Welfare spending. Unless the Federal government takes over the Welfare program, this legislature will be called back into Special Session to raise approximately $350 million.

The ten-member Conference Committee added $22,132,549 to their individual districts which was not debated

Many of you have questions on my legislative redistricting and bow it affects us. I believe this will be vetoed or struck down in court action because of the gerrymandering problems.

'WOODCOCK HUNTERS' SOUGHT FOR SURVEY Not many bird shooters, it asked would consider themselves authentic `woodcock hunters.'

Occasionally, some of those shotgunners who go after doves, quail, ducks and geese in the eastern half of Texas south to Corpus Christi will shoot a woodcock — but usually when hunting for some other game bird.

Nevertheless, all Texans who have ever popped an American woodcock, or timberdoodle as it is known in East Texas, are being asked to volunteer information on the species for a federal study.

"If you hunt where you might shoot woodcock," said A. J. Springs, assistant director of Wildlife Services for the Texas Parks Wildlife Department, "please send us your name and address. The list will be forwarded July 15 to the U. S. Migratory Bird Populations Station and you will later receive wing-collection material."

Volunteers may write to: Wildlife Restoration, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, John H. Reagan Building, Austin, Texas 78701.

Woodcock seasons are annually established by the U. S. Fish and Wild life Service and in Texas have traditionally run from late November through late January.

HATCHERY NOW PAIRING BROOD CHANNEL CATFISH If Texas anglers could see the channel catfish being paired in Fish Hatchery Number One in San Angelo this week it might send them rushing for the tackle store. Superintendent Al Pettit says 2 5 pair of channel cat averaging about four and a half pounds each have been tranquilized for easy handling, paired and placed in the pens containing spawning jugs.

Pettit expects the females to spawn

by June 1 and anticipates from 20 to 30 thousand eggs per pair, or more than a million offspring in the 16 ponds that make up nin,b surface acres of water.

After an incubation period of six to seven days, depending upon water temperature, the fry will be held in rearing ponds for a short time. When they reach two to three inches in length some of them will be stocked in public and private waters, others will be held to varying lengths of up to eight inches or more before they are freed for the fishing public.

ACCENT ON HEALTH Just last month, on May 14, the world medical community marked the 175th anniversary of the first vaccination against the dread disease smallpox. .

Why would this be of interest to the average Texan today? Because one of the true victories for the science of immunology is now 'apparent.

The eradication of the disease organism that causes smallpox is now almost complete. It is now estimated that only six countries in all the world will continue to report the occurrence of this once dreaded disease by the end of 1971. That cheerful word comes from officials at the Texas State Department of Health.

During the first four months of 1971, less than 14,000 cases of smallpox were reported by 13 countries to the World Health Organization, Over half of these cases were reported by Ethiopia, with the balance spread out over scattered areas of Africa, Asia, South America, and a few cases in Europe.

Health officials now estimate that approximately 25,000 cases will be recorded in 1971. That marks a substantial decrease from the 131,000 cases recorded in 1967, the first year of the world-wide Smallpox Eradication Program.

Still, you continue to ask, how does this affect me? While smallpOx is still considered a problem in some parts of the world, the disease does not at present occur in the United States. The last outbreak in America occurred in 1949 in the lower Rio Grande valley of Texas.

In 1938, the United States recorded nearly 15,000 cases of smallpox. Ten years later, in 1948, less than one per cent of that number of cases was reported. Only 50 cases were diagnosed in the United States. For almost two decades now there have been no smallpox cases reported in this country.

So why should you continue to be concerned over a disease that is now almost eradicated? The answer is quite simple. The only way to afford you and your children 100 per cent protection from smallpox is to completely eradicate' it from the face of the .earth. This can be accomplished only - through strict control efforts, and continued mass vaccinations. Universal vaccination is still the most reliable safeguard in prevention of this disease.

Nedb.vno toW byly na mczinarodni porade v ramci statu socialisticke soustavy rozdeleny dlouhoclobe akoly a brnenskemu muzeu pt-ipadl obor ye•ejne mestske dopravy, tedy shromaZd'ovani ve gkerYch pisemnYch dokumentn i. dosaSitelnYch skuteenYch expondtu pokud jde 0 kolejovou dopravu poeinaje konskou pies parni trakci aS k modernirn tramvajim vgech typtt. Ukol je to jiste nemaly a na jeho syladnuti by pracovnici muzea sarni ureite nestaeili. Maji v gak svuj klub pkatel a v jell() ramei se letos .4tytvokila odborna skupina mestske hrOmadne dopravy, ktexa s vedenim muzea nate spulupracuje.

Brno ma v tramvajove cloprave stoletou tradici, a toto jtibileum oslavil Dopraviti pochrik v rocs 1969. K 'Leto prildaittosti bylo s yelkou obetavosti od zakiadu renovovano nekolik typickych starch tramvaji, ktere pak jely nekolikr6,t defile brnenskYrTii ulicemi. V rote 1970 pak vy gel velrni pane graficky shotoveny sbornik o stolete historii brnenske poulieni drahy. Tech nekolik ,historickYch tramvaji nyni tvot-1 saklad budouciho muzea, jehoS depozita± byl prozatim umisten do easti brnenske husovicke yozovny, coS ovgem nenattZe byt trvalYm te gennu. Technicke museum totiS rozjelo "celostaLni patraci akci" po starch tranivajich a do Erna se , budou postupne clopravoyat vybrane exponaty nejprve z Olomouce a Ostravy, potom z eeskych last a take ze Slovenska, Ov gem nejen samotna vozidla, ale take vzorky kolejnic, trolejoyYch vedeni, sasta ykovYch stojanil a jisdnich tadii a jizdenek, jakoS g zakladni easti tech typti tramvaji, ktere jiS zcela zmizely bud' sei;rotovanim nebo valeenYmi uclalostmi. Na sve si ptijdou i modelaki, jelichZ itkolem Nide zhotovit podle technicko dokumentace verve modely techto waniklych vozidel. Spolu s materialem, ktery ma bYt v budoucnu ziskan z ostatnich sta,t0.

Rady yzajenme hospoctakske pomoci, naroste vosovy park muzea, az asi na 80 tramvaji a nebudo. 1 c irybet ani histoh•olejbusy. Na ricke autobusy a ,,a1 cola husotakovou ebirku by vicka, vozovna nemohi: staelt.

A v teto souvislosti se vynofuje myglenka, vybuclo yani skuteeneho tramvajoveho skansenu, tedy nejen haly muzea s pkilehlYeti kabinety studo ynanil, ale i s yylilicikovou trail, p•izpiiso-

Najednou ji chytila starost, pomyslila si, te by ji nekdo mohl, kdyby se opozdila, vziti penize a taky pottebovala matce rici, jake gtesti ji potkalo.

Nikdy ye svem &vote nebyla tak St'astna jako v tehle chvili a rozemehla se jako gipka vzhitru k lesinm. Na jahody doeista zapomnela, ptala si bYti uz v Bukovine.

A vytrhti se ji betela do almarky a jeji zdrave pravidelne bile zuby, ktere ji mohla katcla krasavice zavideti, zat'aly se do neho, mezitim co Vitoi gova, nerno.houe odolati, ulamovala z peCiva a jedla.

V III. Byl to svateeni den v baraku a Jitka byla vedouci osobnosti. Oci slova ke slovu musila vypravovati, co se stalo od prveho okamtiku, kdy nabidla neznamYin paniun jahody ke koupi at k zittejti testa k vratnemu. Znovu znovu vracela se domkatka dotadujic se daltich zprav a Jitka vykladala, jak umela nejlepe, co ji je gte napadlo. Pojednou se Vitou gova lekla. Vzponmela si na blizky ptichod muttiv a chvatne zadala uklizeti a zatapeti.

ACkoliv testa vedla do vrchu, nterazila ji o ttetinu easu dtiv, net kdyt gla do zamku. Planouc ye tvaki blitila se k baxaku a vida, maminka stoji venku a jiste se diva, jde-li.

"Maminko, ja nesu penize"" volala, kdyt dotla bliz. "moc penez! A zitra s Aram' prijdu do zamku pro gaty. katcleho dne budu nosit do zamku jabody a maliny."

Najednou vg echno povidala, a kdyt dogla, chytila ji jednou rukou kolem pasu.

"Ut jsem mela strach, nestalo-li se ti nem. Kde jsi to byla? Kdo ti tolik Penez dal?" Jitka otevtela dlari a ukazovala desitku, kterou do te chvile pevne v hrsti tiskla.

"Hadejte."

"Kdo by hadal. A co tohle mat. Knitka vklachi. Jitina Neznama, sto zlatYch. Tys nagla svou matku?" ptala se nahle se leknuvgi.

"Kde pak, ta je jiste mrtva. Pani knelna mi to dala."

"Pani knetna? Jak jsi k ni ptigla?

Snad jsi neaebrala? Nebo snad jsi ji pohnevala? JakY nerozum jsi to provedla? Dite, dite, z toho bude souteni."

"2adne souteni, ja se take bala, ale ona se mi smala a kikala, abych se nieeho nebala a abych zustala vtdy

"Pied tatikem ani muk o penezich," nakazovala deveete. "Reknu mu to weer, ze jsi prodala knek'gre jahody a ze jsem koupila \Teel pro domacnost. 0 te stovee ani nehlesni, chtel by na koralku a propil by to cele. Schovejsi knitku nekam, kde by ji nena gel, nebo jegte lepe, dej ji tete Rehorikove, tam bude nejlepe ukryta. A nepovidej, ze jsi dostala hodne, to by na nine dolehal a zase bych nic neinCia." "Ja vim," prikyvovala. "Skoda, tatinek pije, dostal by lepai 'maxi a mei' bychom se dobte." " °tom nepovidej, to je marne a Mc uz nezmenim. Darmo je eloveku hotko. A taky pied. Voj Lou mlc, z toho je ted' lakomec a chtel by, abych mu WA.davala."

"Lepti lakomec net opilec," prohodila moudte.

"Mat pravdu, ale Cloven musi napred sebe krYti, zatila jsem bidy dost a jeSte zatiju."

"Vtak az budu vetai, postaram se, abyste nemela bidy. Uvidite, to vtechno bude dobre. Bo ■':i.e, to bych si nejradeji lehla a spala, vaechno me yogi-. lilo a je mi mdlo."

"Vyjda si tedy yen, popas kravu a udela, se ti volneji."

"Ano, to bude spravne. Napiced do nesu knitku tete a potom pobehnu."

Zdrtela se u Rehotikovych nakratce, tteba Rehorikova, planouc zvedavosti, chtela dilkladne zpravy. Na konee se rozhodla, to povecie taky kra.-

"Ani jsem to nepoeitala, koupila hned sill, rnYdlo a petrole,4,, "Nemohla's mi zlatku nechati?", plisnil mrzute. "Clo y& ke krejcaru neptijde. A jsi hloupa, te jsi jahody hodne nevycenila.
