From The Editor's Desk NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS! Because of the erratic delivery of our mail, too much of, our letters are arriving on Friday.

We appreciate all of you who are striving to write early and ARE doing so, however, we DO NOT know what our trouble is in our mail system and

letters sent from Houston and vicinity sometimes get here the next day and, then, maybe 4 days later. For example, we received letters postmarked 4 June in Houston and Dallas, 5 June in Temple and letters postmarked 6 June also from the same three cities ALL on the same day - today 7 June. This is being written, mainly, to let all of you know that situations will continue to get worse, evidently, and conditions may occur when we just will NOT be able to publish a late letter. We will continue to

work late and do our best, however, if it does happen, please understand. The best you can do is MAIL EARLY! Sincere Thanks from your editor.

Fathers sometimes wonder, "What would be the best gift a father could give a son or daughter? Lots of toys when little? A savings fund for a college education? A modern home? Financial security for life?"

The greatest gift a father can give his children does not come with a price tag.

The greatest gift a father can give his son or daughter is himself.

Extensive research reveals what should have been known all along...that a father's presence is important in the lives of his children. This is particularly

MY DAD He wasn't great in the hall of fame; The whole wide world never knew his name...

But he had friends...My Dad! Both young and old thought the world of him; Some called him "Mac" some just plain Jim, But he gave them all a helping hand...My Dad! Now he is gone, and we loved him so; Still deep within our hearts we know His name lives on where his friends go...My Dad!

true during crucial pre-school years when sex-role identification, personality, motor skills, creativity and ability to achieve, among other things, are being molded.

In general, tests show that boys deprived of a father's presence have less chances of growing up to become well-adjusted, happy, productive adults. Father-deprived boys have less self-control and tend to lack social responsibility. They tend to be less independent and to have more feminine patterns of interests and play. Such boys suffer more emotional disturbances and have difficulties in interpersonal relations. And it is, a proven fact that father-deprived boys are more likely to become juvenile delinquents.

Less research has been compiled on the effects of father-absence on girls.

But conducted studies already show that girls from father-absent homes

especially suffer in their ability to appropriately relate to males as they grow into adulthood.

In addition, fathers must realize that they need to spend more than just time with their children. Simply being at home is not enough. The dad who comes home and immediately takes a snooze on the couch, flops down and flicks on the TV set or goes about doing his own thing, to the exclusion of his children, might as well not be home as far as the children are concerned. The quality of fatherly time spent with children is as important as the quantity.

A study of 172 undergraduate males by psychologists Mark Reuter and Henry Biller discovered that the most well-adjusted were those whose fathers were very loving and spend a good deal of time with them. Those whose fathers were unloving, though present, grew up undependable and immature. Those whose fathers were loving, but seldom home, were not well-adjusted either.

Another study by Dr. Biller, to determine the importance of fatherpresence, involved four groups of third-grade boys. The four groupings were these: early father absence before age five, late father absence beginning after age five, low father presence (less than six hours per week, (and high father presence, (more than two hours of father-child interaction per day). The boys in the high father presence group tested and graded meaningfully higher in academic performance on achievement tests than did the boys in each of the other groups.

The implications of these studies are

several. Fathers need to spend time with their children...quality time...teaching, instructing, guiding, loving, and playing with them. Children need their fathers. Money cannot buy what a father can give. And if a father will sacrifice some of that career and other pursuits for the sake of his children, the reward he will reap from it in producing a happy, well-adjusted, productive member of society will be well worth it.

You have heard people say that

that "habit is a terrible thing."

Eut is it? It is not rather the kind of habit that you form that would decide whether it is good or bad?

We know a boy who h As4 the "talking back" habit. Every time his mother, his father or his teacher, or anyone else, tells him to do something, he always answers back. He is a most tiresome chap, and his schoolmates don't like to play with him. We are afraid that when he grows up to be a man, and goes out into the world to seek his fortune, he will spend all his time arguing with the people around him, and not have any time left in which to find the "pot of gold."

Do You want to be that kind of a grown-up? Ask your mother if she thinks you will be, and if she says yes, by all means break yourself of the "talking-back" habit while you are young enough. Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it day by day until at last we cannot break it.

Our SPJST Society is joining the 98 other fraternal benefit societies affiliated with the National Fraternal Congress of America in observing Fraternal Week, June 8-14, and in placing special emphasis on National Flag Day, June 14.

Members of all of these societies — more than ten million total -- are urged to remind all Americans on Flag Day that a rebirth of patriotism is needed to focus worldwide attention on the, enduring values of our free society. All fraternalists are urged to celebrate at that time by holding and attending patriotic ceremonies honoring the flag. All fraternalists are also urged to call the attention of the general public to the importance of fraternalism and the many civic and community services it inspires. It is requested that as many

Wednesday, June 12, 1974 programs as possible be focused on the 1974 Fraternal Week theme which is, "Fraternalism is Particina tion!"

Many , heads of states and municipalities, along with other leaders of government, have issued proclamations calling upon citizens to render appropriate attention to National Flag Day and Fraternal Week.

June 14 has been National Flag Day since 1916 when it was so designated by then President Woodrow Wilson. 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 nineteen-year old school master from Fredonia's Stony Hill School, wanted his pupils to carry their lessons of Americanism throughout their summer vacation.

So, befoire diamissing 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 all year a r o u n d, throughout their lives.

Dr. Cigrand conceived a sort of "I Am Glad To Be An American" day while doing graduate work and continued his efforts to promote this idea. But, it was not until he had become dean of the Illinois School of Dentistry that President Wilson signed the National Flag Day proclamation.

American fraternalists, specifically the members of the National Fraternal Flag Day Foundation and of the National Fraternal Congress of America, have taken up the cause of Dr. Cigrand. Thus, Fraternal Week always eriannpasses National Flag Day. The National Fraternal Flag Day Foundation has made a simple, quiet shrine of the Stony Hill Schoolhouse. Each year, Foundation members conduct a flag raising ceremony in the schoolyard to help make the American Flag and the lessons in Americanism it represents more meaningful to all Americans. * * Character of Lodges --k Having

BENNIE F. TRCALEK TO: ALL SALES REPRESENTATIVES AND MEMBERS OF DISTRICT I

Dear Fellow Workers: Please be informed that after consulting with our District Director, Brother John Kubena, and taking into consideration; both his past and present insurance sales and fraternal activities, I have appointed Brother Bennie F. Trcalek of Route 3, Caldwell, Texas 77836 to the position of District Sales Representative of District 1.

Brother Trcalek has been active in both lodge and district activities, being a sales representative for about 18 years, a lodge officer for many years and a member of the by-law committee for 10 years.

I am sure that with your kind cooperation and support, Brother Trcalek will make us a good District Sales Representative.

Please feel free to call on him at any time you should need his assistance with your work.

Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny Vice President each had a character of its own.

It is true that fraternalists are great copyists, which is the reason there is so much similarity in the organizations and their meetings, but it is also true that each has its own tone.

When the National Fraternal Congress in 1915 approved "whole family protection" there was considerable opposition to the idea of admitting children to the lodge room. Possibly some did not want the youngsters to see the ridiculous antics which a few performed. And the influence of the juvenile movement on lodge meetings in a quar-

3 ter of a century has •been as important as the building of a department that hats several million members.

There is no reason for anything to be done in a lodge which could not be done in the) home or a church and its recreation rooms.

In the main the meetings are high class and some are uplifting. By spirit and precept those who attend the meetings are taught worthwhile things.

There is another factor which is 'important. The character of a lodge is expressed by the manner in which the ceremonies are conducted. Precision in floor work is good. More important is proper enunciation of the words used. l'o those who know and speak good language, butchery of the language is an affront. Many of the societies have departments for the improvement of lodge work; the women's organizations are especially active in this. In some societies the work is inspected and graded and awards are made for proficiency.

More important, however, in denoting the character of a lodge, is its purpose. To follow rituall ceremonies and indulge in social pleasures is not enough. When a lodge has a worthwhile objective there is an immediate and sustained growth of spirit among the members. One ofi the reasons for existence — to aid or life up a fellow man, provides a field in which many objectives may be undertaken. And when the visitor comes we will immediately understand that the lodge has something which gives it high character.

Newsbriefs Mr. and Mrs. John J. Karas, Sr. of Houston attended the graduation exercises of Mr. Karaeson John, Jr. on May 24th at Gallup, New Mexico.

John, Jr. is to be commended, having graduated with second highest honors in his class of 425 students. He plans to attend college this fall where he will study for a degree in law. Several college choices are available to him and at this writing, he has not definitely decided which college he will attend.

However, he will be a credit to whatever college he chooses. Congratulations to John, Jr.!

Inside the building it was the same way and it went on all through the day until closing time at 9 p.m. The guests, including the committees, were all a group of tired people.

The bathing beauty contest at 1 p.m. managed by Wanda Kennedy, our assistant sec'y created alot of interest.

The four judges Naomi Kostom, Richard Baletka, Arnold Spencer and Mattie Tamborino were faced with a tough problem, but needless to say, they have been fair, none of the judges knew the contestants and all four deserve gratitude and thanks for the fraternal duty.

The dance started promptly at 2 p.m. with two good orchestras alternating during the seven hours of dancing. To the delight of the guests, at one time, the two orcherstras performed together and they did play some good music. The all-day affairs at Lodge No. 88 are regular family affairs; that's when the children may also enjoy the dancing with their parents, grandparents and their young friends. It is amazing to watch these youngsters and see how easy they make friends with strangers.

Cinamon Ames, five year old granddaughter of Mickey and Harry Rice, quite shy at first, but minutes later had a ball with another five-year old, Chris Kadlecek, grandson of Della and Amos Kadlecek. It was a pleasure to watch them. At regular dances children are not allowed on the dance floor for safety and security reasons, those dances are strictly for adults, therefore, an allday affair brings out ther whole family to enjoy the day together.

Brother Godfrey Matejek, after 29 years of service with the Hughes Tool Co., has retired June 1st, 1974. Godfrey had quite a seige for the past year having to combat several serious operations and still is under the doctors cars, but he looks very well and I hope you and Bessie, your wife, will enjoy your retirement for a long time. Their first try to relax will be to enjoy a fishing trip, they will venture to New Braunfels where their nephew Wayne Pulpan has a summer home. Have a good time.

Sister Frances Dixon, a very petite and beautiful young lady was rushed to the hospital May 21st with serious complications and was released the following week to recuperate at home.

At Table #13, I met guests from Dallas, Tx. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Kelly.

They were guests of our Sister and Brother Leonard Bryan. The Kellys were quite impressed with our lodge and were inquiring if there are any similar facilities as ours in Dallas, Tx. I gladly offered information about our two sister lodges in Dallas, Lodge No. 84 and Lodge No. 130. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly said they surely will try to locate the lodges because they liked and enjoyed our friendly atmosphere. Come back to see us when in Houston.

Surrounding Table #37 was a unique group "Widows' and Widowers' Club."

Brother Frank Sofka and Mr. Ignazio Ancona, members of the club, told me they have four different groups in Houston and all visit, at one time or another, our dances in large groups.

This time there were about 12 couples present. They belong to the Catholic Diocese in Galveston, Tex. They all seemed to have a good time; come back soon.

Sister Louise Jacobs, at Table #30, celebrated her birthday which was Thursday May 30th. Kervin and 'Louise Jacobs have three daughters. Linda is married to Leonard Bench and they have two children. Linda is a registered nurse. Patsy is married to Sam Sakowitz and they have Tammy, a four-month old daughter. The youngest, Dinah, just married Donne Day. Kervin and Louise are very proud parents and grandparents. Happy Birthday Louise' A group of sixty happy people were helping to celebrate the 27th wedding anniversary of Ora and Karl Hassebrock surrounding Tables 48, 49, 50, and 51.

This delightful couple have two daughters, Judy and Jane, and two sons. Danny is married for four years and Randy graduated from Waltrip High. Congratulations and have many, many more.

Sister Lucille Heaton, my dear friend and ardent believer in fraternalism, introduced her 'friend, Mr., Ed. Klingsporn to us at Table #37, i.e.

STN f K Naomi Kostom, Richard Baletka, Arnold Spencer and myself. This visit was Mr. Klingsporn's first to our lodge home on Beall street, but he used to be a frequent visitor at our first lodge home on 20th street. He expressed his surprise about our facilities and enjoyed the evening dancing to the "Blumes" orchestra very much; was nice to have you and come back soon.

Again Leslie and Mable Guyton visited Houston and among other things, which were many, they enjoyed the Saturday night dance June 1st after having dinner with Mickey and Harry Rice in their beautiful remodeled home.

The Guyton's arrived Wednesday and were busy with something special every day until their departure time Sunday, leaving the hustle and bustle and all the excitement of Houston behind them to go back to a quite life in Franklin, Tx until they will get lonesome and come back to Houston where the action is.

With them, around Table #51 were Mickey and Harry Rice, Catherine and Mike Manus, Thelma and Bob Hamnut, Loraine and David Sigbornson. We will be looking for you soon, again.

Most of the board's business meeting was in the planning stage of our first anniversary of our lodge building which will take place on July 4th.

The regular lodge meeting came to order by President R. J. Hafner with the pledge of allegiance, and a moment of silent tribute was paid in memory of our deceased members.

Sister Creola Wilcox is doing a very good job of comforting the sick by sending them get-well cards and flowers to the surviving family of our departed members.

Brother Ralph Smith gave us a very fine report of the income from the bar.

Sister Maurine Neel, our treasurer, was not able to be present due to sickness in the family. Brother R. J. Hafner gave a report of the lodge income in her behalf; the report was very favorable.

Brother Hafner stated that the biggest portion of the construction would be finished in two weeks and the cost would be approximately $8,500 to $9,000. He also advised us that if it were on contract bid, the new addition would cost the lodge about $17,000. We do have enough money to take care of the new addition without borrowing, and we still would have enough money left to operate our lodge for future purposes.

The planned meal for the Fourth of July will be barbecued beef, Czech sausage, plus all the trimmings.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: We did not play a game on Thursday night, May 30, because this game was called off by the association and will not be made up at a later date to my understanding.

We played Midwest Springs, a new team, in our league replacing Jemco, on Monday night, June 3 and we lost a 1 to 0 decision in a real well played and close ball game. This opened play in the second half and we suffered our first loss • in the Monday night league.Gil Vetters pitched a very fine game allowing 4 hits, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts and one earned run.

Leading hitters were sparce, because we could only garner 3 hits, one sacrifice and 2 walks. We had runners on base though to have won had we had a hit at the right time. Wiley Beesley had a double and a sacrifice, Mark Winkler had a single and a walk, Albin Vrana had a single and Lawrence Honza had a base-on-balls.

We did have a nice turnout at the game and we are sorry to have lost this close game.

We have the usual selection of contests. We will again have the Name Tag display. This will not be a contest but there will be a prize for each club that shows. The clubs will participate to see who has entered the most categories as well as the greatest number of entries on a pro rata basis. The usual Publicity contest will be held too.

Under that policy, mitigation measures include, but are not limited to, donation of lands to replace hunter opportunity loss and payment for fishery management tech niqueis such as construction of spawning areas, seining areas and nursery cove areas.

The new policy seeks mitigation for fish, wildlife and habitat losses occurring as a result of a manmade pollution. Mitigation measures include, but are not limited to, direct replacement of fish and wildlife destroyed or payments equal to the monetary value of fish, wildlife and their habitat.

The value of the fish killed due to a pollution incident will be determined from a tentative guide prepared by the department's inland fisheries staff. The guide deals with freshwater fish only and assigns value as to size and species killed.

When possible, values for saltwater fish will be based on their commercial values.

For example, a one-inch largemouth bass is assigned a value of 10 cents while a 12-inch bass would be worth $2.25.

Values are placed on largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, sunfish, walleye, sauger, blue catfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish, bullheads, striped bass, white bass, yellow bass, northern pike, shad, buffalo, salmonidae and pick • erel.

A guide for determining the value of aquatic habitat lost as a result of pollution is being developed. This guide will be used to deter mine mitigation for damage to Items Texas waters when no fish kill is involved, according to department MITIGATION FOR POLLUTION personnel.

The Highway Department offered the causeway to the commission because of a new causeway built just north of the old one. The Cameron County pier will be the third such fishing pier acquired in this way. One is in Port Lavaca and another is near Rockport on Copano Bay. Pending favorable results of a public hearing to be held June 6, concerning the project, the pier would include fish-attracting lights, restrooms, a concession building, parking facilities and docking facilities.

The concession facilities will offer bait and tackle and vending machines.

WHITEWINGS NESTING IN

RIO GRANDE VALLEY' White winged doves in the Rio Grande Valley have begun their nesting, and Texas Parks and Wild life Department biologists are on hand in nesting areas conducting their spring breeding survey and fledgling count.

The '"coo-call count", is conducted during the first two hours of each morning when the doves do most of their calling. Almost total coverage of whitewing nesting habitat in the Rio Grande Valley is made during the survey, helping the biologists determine the current breeding population of the birds.

Gary 'Waggerman, the department biologist who is directing the whitewing project in the Valley, says biologists and technicians are also counting the number of fledglings per nest in the valley in an effort to determine the rate of survival of young birds from year to year.

This involves walking production transects on an area of a known size and examining the whitewing nests. For the past 20 years the survival rate of newly hatched doves has averaged around 31 percent.

With this information, biologists can determine the effectiveness of certain programs. For example, they have found that selective controlling of grackles in whitewing nesting areas has improved the survival rate of fledglings to 50 percent or better.

The department is currently prac

tieing this sort of control of grack les on the Longoria Management Area north of Santa Rosa, a nesting area controlled by the department.

During the control program biologists have found dead grackles which were banded in the same area in past seasons, indicating that grackles could have "homing" instincts. If this is so, then con trollting grackles in one season could mean that there would be fewer to return to the area the next nesting season.

BY JUST ONE VOTE . .

TEXAS WAS ADMITTED TO THE UNION What a difference a vote can make! Only months after their victory at San Jacinto, Texans overwhelmingly expressed an interest in joining the United States.

Their minister in Washington, D.C., approached members of the Martin Van Buren administration with the suggestion of statehood.

The proposal was rejected. Constitutional scruples and a fear of war with Mexico were mentioned as reasons for the rejection; antislavery, although a factor, drew little or no comment.

Mirabeau B. Lamar became president of the Republic of Texas, and because he did not favor joining the Union, the subject was dropped in the inactive files. When Sam Houston became chief executive of Texas, the file was reactivated.

Meanwhile, events far removed from Texas began to cast shadows.

In Indiana, Election Day, 1841, dawned, and Freeman Clark, a farmer, pulled himself from his sick bed. "I gotta vote, ' he said, insisting that his sons help him to the ballot box. "I promised Kelso when he defended me that I'd vote for him."

After riding over the mountainous road, Clark, aided by his sons, dropped his ballot into the box and began the torturous ride.home.

The trip proved too strenuous for Clark and he died soon after returning home, but his vote was an important one. His ballot had put Daniel Kelso in the Indiana State Senate, representing Switzerland County:

CHARLES

In our national consciousness there are quite a few terms and concepts whose importance reaches far beyond the boundaries of our country. Charles University is certainly one of them. For the people of Praha Charles University is naturally linked primarily with the historic building .of Carolinum. This in spite of the fact that in the course of many centuries the various faculties and departments spread throughout the city. In 1987, when the extensive reconstruction of Carolinum was completed, Carolinum became a truly national cultural monument.

The varied history of Carolinum goes back a long time. In fact, it started soon after the founding of the university in 1348. The writer Benel Krabice of Weitmile, Praising the noble idea of Charles IV, ascribed it to the Emperor's "desire to augment the welfare of the state and to uplift the Kingdom of Bohemia in a most praiseworthy manner"

Later on, "Emperor Charles IV, delighted with the success of his idea, donated to the university several Jewish houses and established there a Master's College". The document is dated July 30, 1368 and relates to the original Charles College in Lazar's house, close by the Old Town church of St. Nicolas. Soon, however, Lazar's house was found to be inadequate.

In 1383, King Wenceslas IV assigned to the college the well-built Botlev's house at the corner of 2elezna Street and New Market Place. That is when the actual history of Carolinum began. It was a decision of far-reaching importance, because the house was a splendid one indeed. Jan Botlev, master of the royal mint, could well afford to build his house on the site previously occupied by five old Gothic buildings. tie spent a fortune on having his new house decorated with a number of ornaments, as

witnessed by the exquisite oriel, a tine masterpiece of Parler Gothic, displaying numerous coats-of-arms, corbels and gargoyles. During the period 1383-1388 the university built there a lecture hall enabling a large number of students to listen to lectures together. Such changes were of considerable importance for the appearance and further development of the aula (the Great Hall). The first step in that direct on was taken by the addition of a wall to the former Rotlev house banquet hall. This necessitated the building of a room resembling an arcade, projecting into 2elezna Street.

In that way a great complex of rooms gradually evolved, many of them on floors of different height. To interconnect the rooms, it was necessary to build galleries supported by Gothic corbels.

The process of building changes was interrupted by the upheavals in the first

half of the 15th century. Master John Huss became first a professor, then a rector of the university. Numerous learned disputes were held there. University teachers elected John Huss as a preacher in the Bethlehem Chapel. It was in the Great Hall that the university rejected archbishop's orders to burn John Wicliff's books. Following the burning at stake of John Huss and Jeronym of Praha, protest meetings were held there.

University teachers helped formulate the Four Articles of Praha ... Since 1556 Charles University had a dangerous antagonist

One of the loveliest rooms in Carolinum, the so-called Hall of Patriots, was built in 1769 as a library. Since 1785 it was occupied for forty years by the Private Learned Society, later on renamed the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences. The adjoining Bukvojsky House and Stockhaus were added to the Carolinum. Following the division of the university into Czech and German sections, it was necessary to build separate "national stairways". Shortly after the founding of the independent Republic of Czechoslovakia and the promulgation of the University Act

To pay tribute to Professor Fragner, a commemorative plaque was placed in the entrance hall of Carolinum. Thanks to him it was possible to solve numerous problems encountered in the course of realization of highly complicated plans calling for the large area covered by Carolinum. With great ingenuity and fine feeling for style, Profes-

UNIVERSITY and Carolinum in the Jesuit College at Clementinum established by Ferdinand I. Following the disastrous Battle of the White Mountain in 1620, Jesuits permitted the existence of the faculties of law and medicine only. No one bothered with the maintenance of Carolinum and it deteriorated rapidly. After several fires the building was about to collapse. It was not until 1711 that architect Frant gek Max Kaiika was permitted to carry out his restoration plan.

(1920), the state sponsored large-scale historical research and survey in Carolinum.

Numerous valuable architectural features were discovered, e.g., the Gothic-style entrance into the Great Hall.

Following the wartime disruption, work was resumed in 1945. It was decided that the plans drawn up by Professor Jaroslav Fragner (later on appointed National Artist) should be followed. The second stage of restoration was completed in 1958, in time

sor Fragner succeeded in further enhancing the Gothic period heritage and successfully harmonized the baroque-period changes made by Kaiika with modern interior arrangements. In fact, Professor Fragner built himself a splendid monument, particularly the Great Hall and the Hall of Patriots. He changed the layout of the Great Hall, transforming the front section adjoining the former "Czech Stairway" into a true monument manifesting the very specific, warm feelings all Czechs harbour for Charles University.

In this he was assisted by Karel Pokorny (statue of Charles IV), Vladimir Sychra and Marie Teinitzerova (large tapestry displaying the motif of university seal), Jan Lauda (silver coats-of-arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia on the ceiling) and Sychra's statues symbolizing the Nine Muses. Thanks to the restoration, Carolinum now embodies the idea that Charles University is a true historical gem in our homeland.

20 Even so, what happens to investors, some of whom sink all their life savings into similar deals?

Sometimes some restitution can be awarded them, sometimes not.

The best way to avoid such problems is to be aware of your rights and to exercise careful judgment If you want to buy land for a home or as an investment, check the soundness of the deal. All land is not necessarily going to increase in value.

Find Out exactly what} facilities are going to be developed. If a promoter says he is planning a plush resort that will cater to every recreational interest, find out if that means he is going to put in an 18-hole golf course. It may be just a putting green. Will there be the olyrapic-size pool he promises, or will the finished product be a children's wading pool?

Also, check for resale value of the land. Is there already an established market for lots in that tract? Or will the developer buy back your lot if you decide to sell later?

A popular way to sell land is by a "contract for deed." In this method, the seller retains the title to the property tmtil the final payment is made. A prospective buyer should carefully check the following things before signing: I. He should find out if the seller has clear title to the land; 2. He should check the seller's financial solvency; and 3. If satisfied that upon final payment he will have a clear title• to the property, he should have the contract for deed notarized and recorded with the county clerk, along with the deed record.

Above all, don't succumb to high pressure sales tactics when purchasing land. Be skeptical when someone urges you to buy immediately because "this property will never again be offered at this low price."

The "bait and switch" tactic is something else to watch out for.

If you go to see lots advertised for $3,000 and are told when you arrive that they have all been sold, but some $8,000 ones are still left, be wary. This is deceptive advertising.

If you're dubious about any instate land, deals, check with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, your county or district attorney, or with your local

VESTNIK Better Business Bureau to make sure no complaints have been filed against the promoter.

SPRAY PAINTING — SIMPLIFIED

Wednesday, June 12, 1974 "If it doesn't pull the spray head off the can. Clean out the head with a fine wire — or soak it in lacquer thinner.

"Then push the cleaned head back onto the can. To seal, give it a half turn."

Miss Bradshaw pointed out that the cost per ounce of spray paint is far higher than paint bought in ordinary containers. "However, for a small job — and a quick, smooth one — the difference may be worth it."

Spray painting isn't fool-proof — and may not be as easy as it looks, one authority worns.
