FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Feeling that this information is due our SPJST membership, this is being written for the information of all. Your editor was informed to report to the VA Hospital in Temple on Tuesday, September 16 for tests and examination of a troublesome left leg. This was done and the last 1,ssue of the Vestnik was largely compiled through the efforts of Sister Maxine Sefcik and the print shop personnel; our sincere thanks to them. Sister Sefcik brought the nearly finished "rough" proofs to Temple Thursday night, September 18, and, at the visitors' lounge, we went over the proofs and measured the pictures. Some had to be left out due to the lack of space and we regret that.

The doctor advised my staying in the hospital over the weekend of September 20-21. Brother Ed Mazanee, PC chairman, was kept advised of our situation and later our Supreme Lodge. So you see: Where there is a will, there is a way! * * From Friday, September 19th to Wednesday, September 24th we enjoyed pleasant visits from SL Honorary President Edward L. Marek, SL Vice President Joe B. Hejny, Financial Secretary Ben Zabcik, Brother Jerry Mikulas, Jr. Brother and Sister Otto Hanus, RVOS President Jerry and Sister Valchar, etc. We thank them all and appreciate their thoughtfulness, and

EIGHT FREE GIFTS Give to your enemy: forgiveness Give to your opponent: tolerance Give to your friend: loyalty Give to yourself: discipline Give to your child: a good example Give to your home: devotion Give to your job: your best Give to everybody: Sunshine thank all for their well-wishes and cards. How does news spread so fast? * * Just as I write these lines (Sept.

24th), Brother Tim Kostom walked in and informed that the bus load of Lodge No. 88 Birthday Club Sisters (a full bus load) who had visited the SPJST Museum were in front of the hospital on their way home and wanted to wave "Hi." What a joyful surprise! I could not venture outside the hospital in VA pajamas and robe, but they certainly did add a lot of cheer to my day! Thanks to ALL of you!

Thursday night, September 25th, we are at the office to finish this editorial, because the doctor said it was permissable to come home this weekend, since all tests proved affirmative and that was very suitable to yours truly. Keep writing and we will keep you advised.

Smile, it's easy!

Here we wish to add that we have appreciated all of the well wishes via cards, telephone calls, personal visits, telegrams, or however. It appears that our contact with the doctors and going and coming to the hospital will be on an indefinite basis and we therefore ask that you do not trouble yourselves with sending greetings, cards, etc.; ours is a very minor foot problem, as stated. We appreciate your actions and thank you very much, but we do not want to bother anyone.

Fall this year, 1975, arrived about a week before last year. It came in with a cool spell on September 23, 1974. The last week or so we have had rather cool nights.

The robin red-breasts have made their appearance in the Central Texas area and they definitely are a sign that winter is on the way and the time of the year for snow and the north wind from the Arctic region north of us. It won't be long before we will be seeing the leaves on the trees turning to different hues of color and then falling to the ground, in fact many of the vacationers passing through West from the North report that fall has arrived in the Northern states, where they traveled. * * We will be writing more about our changes to our SPJST By-Laws in the near future calling attention

SUPREME LODGE

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE Filling a Vacancy Dear Members and Delegates of District IV: Your representative to the ByLaw Committee, Brother B. W. Pa yBeek, recently resigned from that committee. You will recall that in the last convention you elected Sister Pat Lawrence as his substitute. Because of her duties with the State Office of the KJZT in Austin she has also submitted her resignation as the substitute member to the By-Law Committee.

Article 14(b) of our by-laws states that: "In the event that neither the elected member nor his substitute can serve on the committee, the district delegates from the preceding convention shall elect another member from the district membership to serve on the committee."

This leaves the responsibility of electing a replacement and substitute up to the district delegates to the last convention, however, it does not spell out the exact method of how this is to be done. Another problem is that the delegates from your district would need to know who might be available and interested in serving on the By-Law Committee. We have never had a situation quite like this so we do not have a precedent to go by.

I feel that it is up to your Ws-

VESTNtK trict president, Brother. Arthur Lisso of Rowena, to determine, along with his other district officers, the method by which a replacement and substitute to the By-Law Committee will be elected.

This should be done reasonably soon, with notification to the Supreme Lodge and to the chairman and secretary of the By-Law Committee.

The purpose of this notice is Simply to let the district know that there is a vacancy on this committee and for some of you to make known your wishes and sentiments to your delegates. The delegates from your district to the last convention and their addresses are as follows: Mrs. Julie Lisso, Route 1, Rowena, Tx 76875 (49) Arthur Lisso, Route 1, Rowena, Tx 76875 (49) Mrs. Henrietta Pavliska, 505 S. Cedar St., Seymour, Tx 76380 (73) Mrs. Pat Lawrence, 610-A Old Pflugerville Rd., Pflugerville, Tx 78860 (77) Julius Holub, Route 2, Seymour, Tx 76380 (95) Mrs, Angeline Kristinek, Route 7, Box 834, Lubbock, Tx 79401 (157) Stanley Broz, PO Box 33, Lowake, Tx 76855 (160) Mrs. Beatrice Socha,, PO Box 4 San Angelo, Tx 76901 (160) Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President Advance Copies To: All Dist. IV Delegates Arthur Lisso, President, Dist. IV and other Dist. IV Officers Jerry Milan, Chmn., By-Law Comm Sid Pokladnik, Chrnn, =1st Convention Reuben Lesikar, Attorney (Note: The District IV president was contacted and approves of this procedure. — NAM).

More On Electing Delegates Dear Members: Since my recent report to you on electing delegates this fall to our next convention in 1976, a few more questions have come to my attention from individuals and in some of the lodge meetings I have attended recently. The following are some of them: Q. What abOut a lodge that has no members -who are eligible as

3 delegates under the by-laws?

A. I hope and feel there are very few lodges in this category. Should this be the case however, it would be unfortunate because such lodges simply will not be able to send delegates to the convention. As stated previously, this by-law has been on the books and in effect since 1 January 1973, so it is something that all lodges should have been aware of for some time.

Q. My lodge elects their delegates in the month of November. How do we figure the majority for this year?

A. Very simple. The by-law requires the member to attend a majority of the meetings during each of the three years preceding the election of delegates. so, you simply follow through for 1975 just as you did for 1973 and 1974. A majority of 11 meetings is 6, since you obviously cannot count the meeting of December that will not have been held yet. (We have to assume that by "year" the last convention meant from January 1 to January 1).

Q. I transferred from one lodge to another recently. Am I eligible to be elected as a delegate?

A. You are eligible under the provisions of Art. 4(d)3 of the bylaws.

Q. What if a lodge is organized during the year of the convention?

Are they entitled to elect- delegates to this convention?

A. Yes, under the provisions of Art. 4(b).

Q. If a member did not become active in the local lodge until 1974 and 1975, is he eligible to be elected a delegate, or say he was ill during this time and could not attend meetings?

A. The by-law states three years prior to the election of delegates.

And this: To those lodges that were organized less than three years ago, or those which had been in existence longer than that but which became active less than three years ago after a period of dormancy, I would suggest electing your delegates and then letting the convention delegates pass on their eligibility under Art. 2(a) of the by-laws. (We will propose an appropriate remedy covering this area to the next convention).

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris, President

VESTNtK joy the fellowship and show that you are active in our Society.

We are looking forward to seeing you Sunday, October 5th, at Lodge 88, Houston.

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmceanp, District Secy.

Remember, on November 9th, our bazaar. Everyone is asked to help, either by donating their time, or items. We have many things planned; pastry booth, cake walk, white elephant booth, fish pond, grocery store, gift shop, and green house. But we need you to help make it a success. Toys and items that are forgotten in the store room or gaxage could be the items the white elephant sale and toy booth needs; and your talent can

Wednesday, October 1, 1975 be all over the items you design for the gift booth. What about plants you have or can transplant, even in an old coffee can, which your green-thumb friends will buy.

I know you will bring pastry and those of the sweets booth, thank you in advance. Remember cookies sell well, too, and this is what it's all about — sell to benefit our remodeling.

Have you been here lately to see what has transpired? When you attend our roast beef dinner on November 9th, spend some time at the benefit booths and buy, buy, buy!

Dear Brothers and Sisters: I hope to have a report of the State Royalty competition in my next letter. I'm sorry I was not able to attend due to work commitments.

Also, Willie Mae Wood and her parents are driving to San Diego, California on October 1st to see a first cousin of his, when he comes in with the Navy. Then they are driving to Los Angeles to visit more relatives. Have a safe and nice trip, folks!

For the Saturday, September 20th Texas Dutchmen dance these folks celebrated their birthday: Pat Shipp, Mary Anna Weiss, Vie Nelius, Owen Rhamann, C. R. Poehl, Sr., Emanuel Swonke, Bennie Kocich, Edgar Heinrich, and Lydia Kustoff.

These district meetings are important, so please try t o attend.

There are whisperings in the distance that Czech Day is here again. It is not here yet, but it will be before you know it. We need workers, donors, and most of all, for as many members as possible to be in Czech costumes.

I'll have more details in future letters. The Birthday Club sisters will meet on October 1st, and Sunday, October 8th is the District V meeting and the lodge's monthly meeting will be on Monday, October 13th. The Space City Dutchmen will be playing for the Saturday, October 4th dance.

Take care and see you here next week.

We also had one visitor, Mrs. Leonora Mucha.

We had a wonderful time practicing some of our old favorites and several new songs that we enjoy singing so much; but we will have to start on our Christmas songs real soon and we would like to see everyone of us turn out for a really great show at Christmastime, so come out and enjoy the next practice with us which will be on Tuesday, October 14th.

After practice we had a short business meeting in which we discussed hiring buses to Dime Box on October 26th, and the State Fair on Czech Day. After the routine discussion we decided that we would charter a bus for the Dime Box dedication of their new lodge home. There was not enough interest in Czech Day at the State Fair in Dallas, so the bus idea was dropped and those who will attend the Czech Day celebration will go in their cars or pool their rides with others and we hope many will attend.

Their being no further business before the club, the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday, October 14th, our next regular rehearsal.

Singingly yours, Otto Hanus, — SPJST -

When I read the letter I was shocked to see that I had omitted our best entertainment — our Czech Choral Club, the Lodge 88 Orchestra, and the Beseda dancers.

Our orchestra will begin playing at 1:15 p.m., and our famous Choral Club, under the direction of Brother Tim Kostom, will sing beautiful Czech songs during the program.

THE PAVELKA FAMILY REUNION On Sunday, August 311, 1975, the descendants of Joseph and Marie Pavelka held their annual reunion at the Elk SPJST Hall, near Waco. About 170 family members and guests registered for dinner and more came later. The invocation was given by Rev. A. J. Payenta, pastor of the Tours and Elk Catholic Church (he is not related). After a delicious dinner, the business meeting was held with the 1975 chairman, Billy Frank Pavelka, presiding. Silver dollars were awarded to the oldest lady, Mrs. Minnie (Pavelka) Kubitza, who admitted to being 79 years, to the oldest man, Jim Pavelka, age 83, but who says he is only 38; to the longest married couple, Adolph and Minnie Kubitza, married 62 years; to the neWest married couple, Gary and Joyce (Pavelka) Knezek of Victoria, who were married 4 months; and also receiving a silver dollar was the youngest member present, John Michael Rhidnour, age 6y2 weeks, who is the grandson of Jim Pavelka, the oldest member. For traveling the farthest distance, a silver dollar was awarded to one from Baton Rouge, La., whose name I did not get, sorry.

A minute of silence was observed in memory of the deceased members, George Pavelka, Bob Pavelka of Robstown, and Mrs. Edward Pavelka of Mart.

A short committee report on the progress of the work done so far on a genealogy record. Form sheets, were given to each family to fill out and bring back to the next reunion. It is hoped that all the descendants of Joseph and Marie Pavelka will participate in this genealogy record. By a unanimous vote, the 1976 Pavelka, reunion will be held in SPJST Lodge No. 35,Elk, Hall on September 5, 1976. By acclamation, the same officers to serve again in 1976, Billy Frank Pavelka, chairman; WS. Linda (Billy F.) Pavelka, secretary; Eugene Pavelka, treasurer. The 1975 honora.bje chairman was Willie Pavelka of West, and the 1976 honorary chairman is Mrs. Charley (Mary) Kubitza, of Waco. Appointed 'to serve on the entertainment committee are: Charlie Pavelka, Mart; Tony Pavelka, Mart; and Bill Pavelka of Robstown. After the meeting, Pavelka's Orchestra played for a while for the after-

noon entertainment. Supper was served at 5:30 p.m. For the conclusion of an enjoyable day, the dance started at 8 p.m., music by Pavelka's Orchestra of Robstown.

The first set is always reserved for the oldest members, the surviving children of the late Joseph and Marie Pavelka, the rest of the Pavelkas form a circle around them and after that everybody dances. The oldest family member, Jim Pavelka, says dancing keeps him young, and he can outdance many younger ones.

There were many pictures taken throughout the day and night, it is always interesting to look back at the pictures taken in the past. Pictures taken this year will be shown at the 1976 reunion.

Members and guests attending came from Waco, West, Elk, Mart, Robstown, Corpus Christi, Alice, Victoria, New Braunfels, McQueeny, Arlington, Austin, Abbott, and some other places.

A grand time was enjoyed by all who came; those who weren't there missed a good time. Try to attend the 1976 reunion!

The Pavelka family is well represented in •the SPJST, many are members and are active in lodge work. Two are sales representatives: Ruby Pavelka of Lodge No. 35, Elk, and Helen Pavelka of Lodge No. 117, Robstown; both were there.

Czech Day at The State Fair of Texas Sunday, October 12, in Dallas.

This is the way the start of construction for the new lodge home of Lodge 13 in Dime Box looked a few months back, after having been delayed by rains. Here we see workmen pouring the slab with Building Committee Chmn. Bro. Richard Milburn looking on.

DIME BOX LODGE HOME NEARS COMPLETION The construction of the new lodge home of Lodge No. 13, Dime Box is progressing very nicely, after having been slowed earlier by rain. Construction seems to be on schedule and the opening and dedication is set for Sunday, October 26th.

Groundbreaking for the new lodge building was held on Sunday, April 20th, with a large attendance of lodge members from near and far. The enthusiasm of the officers and members has been great since the reactivation of this lodge about two years ago.

The new lodge building is 80 x 120 feet, of metal constructicn with central air-conditioning and heating, completely insulated, and rests on a concrete slab. The building is located north of and behind the present lodge hall on a plot of ground 3.2 acres in size. The old building has been left intact through the summer because of events that had been previously scheduled, but will eventually be sold and razed.

Lodge 13 Texaska Orlice is one of the original twenty-five charter lodges of the SPJST, dating back to July 1, 1897. After an extended period of dormancy and inactivity, the lodge was revived with new officers who, together with officers and metnbers of the Supreme Lodge, started planning a new lodge home. Construction of the new building started during this past summer and the contractor, Paul Pokorny of Taylor, has assured the lodge that it will be completed by the opening and dedication date of October 26th.

Here is a picture of the present lodge hall which has served the lodge and community since the early part of this century. The building will eventually be sold and razed. accompanying pictures show the old building and the new building in various construction stages.

Lodge officers at Lodge 13 are: President Claude Flippin, Vice President Jim Bayer, Secretary and Financial Secretary Arno Zwernemann, Treasurer Mrs. Mildred (Albin) Horak and Youth Leader Nellene Spacek.

The Building Committee consists of Chairman Richard Milburn, Danny Iselt, Ethelbert Spacek, Gloria Ann Jatzlau and Albert Mahe.

Board of Trustees are Albin Horak, Lawrence Loewe, Werner Jatzlau, Arnold Tydlacka and Joe Valigura. Entertainment Committee Chairman is Frank Riske.

Brother Riske, along with President Flippin and Don Bayer recently met with Supreme Lodge President Morris to formulate

VESTN1K plans for the formal opening and dedication of the new lodge facilities. Brother Riske has also compiled a detailed and comprehensive history of Lodge 13, a summary of which will be given on October 26th.

All of the members of Lodge 13, both those who reside in the Dime Box area and those who reside in other cities, are asked to make plans and be present for the opening of the new lodge home on October 26th. I recall that at the groundbreaking ceremonies a great number of those who were born and raised in the Dime Box area and are now living elsewhere came back to witness the progress in their hometown community. The new lodge construction is an asset not only to the lodge, but to the community of Dime Box. Let's all be there on October 26th to support the spirit that has kindled this progress.

We thank Brother Albin Horak for furnishing us with the accompanying pictures.

We elected a new president, Larry Malina, and a new reporter, Kenneth Lueck. I know these new officers will do a fine job as the other officers have done.

It was voted on that we would have a game night at the lodge home on September 24th, with refreshments; also all' members and youth were urged to attend.

I would like to thank all the popcorn workers who have worked at the dances and the game night.

With this money we have been able to do many things. The teenage girls, Elaine McQuere, Debbie Beck, Shelby Beck, Susie and Debbie Malina have been helping during the breaks. They have really been selling items for our club Project, so let's keep up the good work.

Bobby and Robin Castle also have been doing a good job with the popcorn.

We certainly enjoyed the good food furnished by the members.

The social was held after the youth club meeting. If you missed this, well you missed a good treat.

Most of the summer activities are over and I hope you have enjoyed at least some of the activities of the SPJST. If you have not, then get busy and get involved now so you will be able to participate next year. Remember, you must attend at least half the meetings.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

Legislative Reports This week we shall take up Articles VI, VII and VIII of the proposed Constitution that comes before the voters next November 4th.

Article Six, which deals with elections, will bring our State Constitution into line with the 26th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which allows anyone past 18 years old to vote. The new elections article denies the right to vote to those found mentally incompetent by a court law and to convicted felons who are imprisoned, on parole or on probation.

Article Seven, the education article, proposes a number of changes that will make basic improvements in the public school system and state-sponsored colleges and universities.

The legislature retains the power to set the requirements for residency in the state. In general, the election article of the new Constitution brings our state's laws into conformity with federal law.

A Constitutional right educational equality for all Texans is included in the article. I strongly supported this provision during the Constitutional Convention and Legislathe sixty fourth ture, as I believe it is important to the state explicitly that every Texas child will obtain an adequate education.

The education article opens up the state's permanent school funds to furnish free instructional materials to public schools, in addition to the present free textbooks and financial assistance to each school district.

At the college level, the new Constitution retains the permanent university fund to finance the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A & M. Presently, proceeds from the permanent fund can be

VESTN1K

Wednesday, October 1, 1975

used for construction only, but the new Constitution will open up the money for purchasing equipment and library books. This modification is also made to the Higher Education Fund, which finances other colleges and universities sponsored by the state.

Both the Education and Elections articles of the new Constitution will work to the benefit of Texans without increasing the amount of money that is spent. The statement of educational equality, along with broadening, the way we can spend available funds on state colleges, will do a great deal to improve the public schools and colleges in Texas. I hope to see both these articles approved next November.

Article Eight -- the Finance Article of the proposed Constitution, will make a number of key changes in the tax system to make sure it is administered fairly among all Texans.

Under the present Constitution, praperty taxes are not administered equally, and residents of rural areas and smaller cities end up paying much more than their fair share. The vast number of property tax increases that are going into effect this fall is a certain indication that the present tax system has to go. As it now stands, there is no uniform system for appraising and taxing property in Texas — which means rich counties can tax lightly, forcing poorer counties to take up the slack. The new Constitution will force every tax assessor to use a formula approved by the legislature for taxing all property across the state.

The 64th Legislature approved a portion of that formula which applies to farm and ranch property, and passage of the new Constitution will remove a large tax burden from the state's agricultural property. Now, farming or ranching must be a landowner's main occupation to qualify for a lower property tax rate, but the new Constitution will give the lower rate to virtually all land used for ranching or farming.

The new Finance Article also mandates the $3,000 homestead tax for senior citizens. This exemption is now optional, and passage of the new Constitution will guarantee that all senior citizens get this

much-needed tax relief. Citizens are also allowed to protest their property taxes under the new Constitution, giving the courts authority to decide whether tax bills are too high in specific instances.

In addition to reforming the property tax system, Article Eight also tightens the restrictions on the amount of debt the state can incur. Presently, the state borrows money through a complex system of bonds that require many Constitutional amendments. Under the new Constitution, any state debt will have to be approved by twothirds of the House and Senate and by a majority of the voters of Texas.

The new Constitution also stipulates that state spending must remain within the amount of money that will be available from taxes and other revenue sources. This pay-as-you-go approach to state spending will keep Texas from lapsing into the deficit spending pattern that has led to an enormous debt at the federal level.

Finally, Article Eight of the new Constitution prohibits placing a sales tax on agricultural machinery, fertilizer, feed or seed. It also prohibits sales taxes on medicine or food, except for meals sold in restaurants.

I personally feel that Article Eight is the most important part of the new Constitution. It will do something about the property tax increases that are now plaguing us, and it will clarify the limits of state spending.

IRON MINERAL NECESSARY TO PREVENT ANEMIA Necessary amounts of iron are difficult for some Americans to obtain in their regular diets, Sally Springer, a foods and nutrition specialist, says.

A lack of this essential mineral causes anemia, one of the most prevalent nutritional problems today among adult women, infants and preschoolers, she said.

Miss Springer is with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System.

"Anemia occurs in infants be-

Wednesday, October 1, 1975 cause they may drink milk to the exclusion of iron-rich foods, and preschoolers may avoid iron-rich foods in their diets.

"The average American diet supplies about six milligrams iron per 1,000 calories—but women of childbearing ages and teenagers require three times that much each day.

"So they must make specific food choices to ensure enough iron in their day's eating," she advises.

But since adult males and postmenopausal women require only 10 milligrams iron each day, a 2,000calorie diet from a variety of foods meets their needs.

Turning to specific suggestions for foods with significant amounts of iron, she listed egg yolk, dry beans, green leafy vegetables, enriched and whole-grain breads and cereals, dried fruits and organ meats. Poultry, meat and fish also provide iron in the diet, she said.

"Because iron is part of hemoglobin — which carries oxygen from lungs to tissues, it is important for the body to have an adequate iron supply.

"And, although the body does conserve iron from destroyed blood cells, hemorrhaging or any blood loss, will use ap the stored iron quickly," she said.

Research Is Helping

Basic blood, chemistry research conducted by Experiment Station scientist George Bates and his associates is giving medical science new insight into this complex, but basic problem of animal and human metabolism.

When something containing iron is eaten, it enters the digestive system and eventually comes into contact with the membranes surrounding the small intestine. Here it is absorbed into the blood stream through a process involving a blood protein called transferrin. Apparently, the transferrin protein finds its way to the intestinal membranes where it loads up with iron and returns to the blood stream.

Once in the blood stream, the transferrin carries the iron to the red blood cells where it is used in production of hemoblogin, the oxygen transport protein essential to cell life.

New Protein. Found

Bates and his associates have discovered what happens next in the blood building process. The big'

V]GSTNIK

breakthrough apparently came when the scientists discovered a new protein within the red blood cell itself that appears to pick up the iron from the cell membranes and in turn makes it available to the hemoglobin - making process in the blood cell. They named the new protein siderochelin (pronounced sid-er-o-K E E - lin) which in Greek means "to grasp or grab iron."

The exact nature of just how iron is absorbed through the membranes of the red blood cells by siderochelin is not fully understood but the knowledge of the existence of the new protein is yet another step toward better understanding of just how hemoglobin is formed within blood cells.

New Accurate Test

A practical application derived from Bates' research is the development of a highly accurate and consistent measurement of the amount of iron present in the blood. Since the only iron present in the blood is that attached to the transferrin protein, their test is designed to measure the total amount of transferrin present in the blood sample and how much of it is loaded with iron. Therefore it not only gives an accurate reading of how much iron is present, it gives a good idea of the capacity the blood has to carry iron.

The new test is being used extensively in Bates' own research and is undergoing refinements to provide a quick and highly accurate test for clinical use.

This development is especially significant in light of a recent regional survey indicating an important iron deficiency problem among rather large portions of the population. Iron deficiency related problems were highest among black people and pregnant and lactating women in all 10 states surveyed.

Bates believes that we are just beginning to understand the molecular role of metals in living organisms. He sees a bright future for this research area, and believes it will be of real benefit to medicine awl agriculture.

GIFTS USEFUL IN ESTATE PLANNING

When evaluating their estates, many people only think about passing on property to relatives after their death. Yet, there are advantages in making gifts of some assets while still living, says Tom Prater, an economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

For example, a farm or ranch may be transferred through gifts by incorporating it and giving shares as gifts. Another way is to transfer title by deed to all or part of the farm or ranch and also transfer title of other assets.

Prater emphasizes that a gift means that all managerial control as well as property rights are relinquished.

"Giving property to your children, grandchildren or others while you are still living allows you to see the recipients enjoy the gifts," notes the Texas A&M University System specialist. "It also enables you to help them when they are younger and their needs are likely to be greater. Younger people usually have lower incomes and pay less income tax than older people.

Therefore, the recipient of a gift may be able to use more of the earnings from the gift than the original owner could."

Another advantage of making gifts while you are living' is that the removal of property from your estate will lower the value of your estate at death, thus reducing the federal estate tax. And by systematically making gifts during your lifetime, a large part of your estate may pass to those you want to have it without any gift taxes being due, explains Prater.

You may also be able to save taxes by making rather large gifts and paying gift taxes rather than letting the property remain in your estate, since gift tax rates are only three-quarters of estate death tax rates on comparable amounts. . "Of course, any possible saving in federal estate taxes resulting from the transfer of property as a gilt to your spouse or children should be weighed against possible higher capital gains taxes if they plan to sell the property," points out the economist. "When property is given as a gift, the cost basis (the base value to be used in computing capital gains if the property is sold) is transferred with the

18 property to the recipient. If the property has greatly increased in value, capital gains taxes could be considerable when the property is sold."

On the other hand, if the transfer of property is made through inheritance after death, the cost basis for capital gains purposes is the value of the property at the time of inheritance.

Prater advises careful consideration on making sizeable gifts. Family needs and attitudes should always be taken into account.

Close attention should also be given to federal regulations on gifts and gift taxes. Federal gift taxes are imposed on gifts in excess of your specific lifetime exemption and annual exclusions.

"Every individual has a specific lifetime exemption of $30,000. This means you may give away up to $30,000 during your lifetime without paying gift taxes. In addition, your annual exclusion allows gifts up to $3,000 per year to as many different individuals as you want without paying a gift tax. Annual exclusions do not count against the lifetime exemption. Thus, if you give an individual more than $3,000 in a year, only that amount in excess of $3,000 counts against the $30,000 lifetime exemption. Of course, there are times when it pays to give amounts exceeding the above specifications and to pay gift taxes," says Prater.

Any gift taxes on property are based on the fair market value at the time the gift is made.

A married couple making gifts can double both the lifetime exemption and the annual exclusions, regardless of whose property is actually being given away. If you want to make gifts to your spouse, the lifetime exemption and the annual exclusions are also doubled beeause of a "marital deduction" provision in the tax code.

When considering gifts from your estate, keep in mind that gifts to most charitable, educational or religious organizations are not subject to gift taxes, notes the economist. Furthermore, such gifts do not count against either your lifetime exemption or annual exclusions.

For detailed information on planning your estate and in deciding whether to make gifts, contact your lawyer or tax accountant, advises

Prater. Fact sheets on estate planning and gifts and trusts are also available at local county Extension offices.

TIME TO REPOT HOUSE PLANTS

Early fall is an ideal time to repot house plants, points out a landscape horticulturist for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

"Repotting prepares house plants for the winter season and improves their overall performance," says Everett Janne, Texas A&M University System specialist.

Use of a good soil mix gets the repotting process off to a good start. Such a mix may be made by mixing two parts each of garden loam and peat moss and one part of sand. Well rotted manure or shredded leaf mold may be substituted for the peat moss.

"Garden soil alone is seldom suitable for potting plants because it is usually too low in organic matter," notes the specialist. "A good soil mixture provides the three things most needed by potted plants — support, good soil aeration, and ability to hold adequate moisture and nutrients."

Janne recommends pasteurizing the soil mixture to kill disease organisms, insects and , weed seeds.

This can be done by putting the soil mixture in a shallow pan and placing it in a preheated oven at 200 degrees F. for 30 minutes. The soil should be moist but not wet before placing it in the oven.

"As soon as the soil cools, use it to pot new plants or reset old ones.

Always use clean tools and new pots or you will reinfect the soil with harmful organisms. Sterilize used clay pots the same as the soil, and wash plastic pots thoroughly in hot soapy water," advises Janne.

A simpler and much easier way to handle pot plants in the home is to purchase the prepared mixes available in your nursery or garden supply center, he adds.

TAX RELIEF FOR NEW HOME BUYERS

Consumers expecting a tax credit for buying a new house should check with the Internal Revenue Service first -- to be sure they meet the qualifications, Denise Beigbeder, a housing and home furnishings specialist, says.

Wednesday, October 1, 1975 "The Tax Reduction Act of 1976 does include a section designed as an incentive to buyers of new unoccupied homes currently on the Market and to people custombuilding their homes.

"And it provides a direct five percent tax credit, figured on the purchase price of the house. The purchase price can't exceed an adjusted base of $40,000, for a maximum credit of $2,000.

"This isn't a deduction or adjustment to gross income — it's simply a credit against federal tax liability," she explained.

But not every new hone — or new home buyer — qualifies, she cautioned.

Miss Beigbeder is with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System.

Specific criteria for buyers of new homes include: The new dwelling must be a principal residence, not a second of vacation home. It may be a single family house, a unit In a condominium or co-op, or a mobile home.

—Construction must have begun before March 26, 1975.

—The taxpayer must acquire and occupy the home between March 12, 1975 and January 1, 1977.

—Certification from the seller must be attached to the buyer's IRS tax return stating that the purchase price was the lowest at which the residence was ever offered for sale since February 28, 1975.

It also must certify that construction of the dwelling began prior to March 26, 1975.

For persons building their homes, qualifications are: —Only the cost of construction after March 12, 1975, can be considered in determining the amount of credit allowable.

—The taxpayer-purchaser must be the original owner. Purchasing the home from a relative may result in ineligibility for tax credit.

Maximum credit allowed under this bill is $2,000. Married people filing separate returns can receive up to $1,000 each.

"Also, if a buyer has unrecognized capital gains — the money he made over the original cost of a previously-owned house, not including any improvements he made—this reduces his tax credit,' she explained.

albeit misguided and close-minded in their nutritional beliefs.

A look at some highly-publicized diets gives you an idea of the perplexing situations greeting those interested in dieting — either for weight loss or other health reasons.

The drinking man's diet, Zen diet, grapefruit and egg diet, vegetarian diet, cereal diet, low-protein, high-protein, low carbohydrate diet — are all a part of the present-day food craze, says the Health Department. Some, Such as the Zen macrobiotic diet, can result in malnutrition.

And, there are the vitamins and food supplement faddists who push all types of supplement concoctions off on the willing indulger. Vitamin E and Vitamin C, both essential to the body, are among the vitamins being pushed at present.

Dr. Linus Pauling advocated great amounts of Vitamin C to prevent the common cold. Research has failed to substantiate his claim.

The State Health Department says you can get all the required nutrients, including Vitamins C and E, through a wise selection of foods. Selecting foods properly will also ensure efficient utilization of the food dollar — something that can shrink rapidly in today's supermarkets. Supplements generally are expensive and unnecessary, unless prescribed by a physician.

The Nutrition Program of the State Health Department says the basic food groups still are the best guide for the average person who needs strength and vitality to meet each day's challenges. These are divided into the milk group, meat and protein group, fruits and vegetables group, and the bread and cereal group. While giving you sufficient energy, these basic food groups also supply the trace elements of minerals which your body needs.

If these basic food groups remain unchallenged scientifically, why do people succumb to faddism?

Nutritional quackery appeals to desperate people who want to believe in the impossible and the incredible. In the case of weightreducers, they want to believe in something simple and easy, in a cure-all calling for no effort on their part. Traditional calorie counting is too slow, too limiting for their appetites. People with illnesses want a miracle to help

J.E. PEAVY, M.D.,

Despite the rich bounty provided to us by the land, Texans and Americans in general are described as nutritional illiterates.

Nutrition is a relatively new science. For this reason there is room for misunderstanding, and even intentional misrepresentation. Although much malnutrition is the result of poverty, a full pocket does not mean a nourished body, says the State Health Department.

The focus on the high price of meat has made Texans more aware of their eating habits. But one group of individuals' -- the food faddists — are willing to pay through the nose (and sometimes through their health) for items no better than those offered in supermarkets.

Like hula-hoops and Nehru jackets, fads come and go. But for some the memory may linger on, since food fads can affect health and the quality of living for a long time.

A big fad at the moment is the weight reduction kick, which is tied in by food faddists with better health and some particular foodstuff which they say can cure all the ills of the believers. Some reducing diets, when followed too long, can lead to permanent health problems.

Nutritionists say there is no one particular cure-all food, and they have scientific proof. Faddists, on the other hand, push hundreds of different contradictory food systems, including the current "organic" food theory.

Many diet or nutrition advocates are opportunists whose major motivations are economic. Some of these persons appear to be sincere,

them.

An Ohio State nutritionist writes, "Compared to the exotic nutritional advice, which borders on the occult or is rendered with spiritual fervor, normal everyday nutritional education lacks pizazz. That is why the voices of the home economists — the dietitian — the nutritionist — food technologist — are not heard when they contradict the often untrue and sensational health claims being made by those who so avidly degrade • he American food supply."

Significant progress has been made in the science of diet and its relationship to health, but science advances by slow, difficult steps which are much too slow for impatient, desperate people who want immediate solutions.

But when the fads have run their course, the accepted, scientifically proven four food groups still stand tall as the one way to receive proper nutrition from the foods you eat and drink, says the State Health Department. A. place to look for reliable information about nutrition and health is your local physician or your local health department. You may go also to a home economics teacher, or the county extension agent. They too will be able to give you sound advice and information.

CHECK HOME-CANNED FOODS FOR SAFETY The art of home canning enjoyed a revival last year as homemakers tried to beat rising food prices.

"This renewed interest in home canning makes it especially important to be sure the foods are safe to eat," Sally Springer, foods and nutrition specialist, reminded this week.

"Check your cans to make sure there are no bulges (lids should be concave), no off colors and no off odors. A can with any of these characteristics should be discarded," the specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System, said.

She reminded consumers that all home-canned foods should be cooked at boiling temperatures in an open saucepan for 15 minutes.

This insures that if harmful bacteria are present, they will be destroyed and the food will be safe to eat.

"I am t lawyer writes: approaching 60, and two of my friends the same age have been hit by cancer of the prostate, Should I be taking special care now?"

ANSWERIine: Prostatic cancer occurs mainly in men over 60. Now that you are in that age group, your regular health checkup should include examination of your prostate and a urine analysis. If you experience any urinary difficulty at any time, you should consult a physician. Please remember that your age means only that you are at greater risk of developing this form of cancer -- it does not mean that you are sure to get it. But, it is wise to be checked.

A new mother explains: "A friend told me that if I breastfeed my child, I'll protect myself against breast cancer. Is she right?"

ANSWERline: No. There are many , fine reasons to breastfeed your child but cancer protection is not one of them. Your friend's idea is widespread, but wrong.

A postman asks: "Is emphysema a form of cancer?"

ANSWERline: No. Emphysema is a crippling, often fatal respiratory disease.

It is a disease in which the lungs lose their elasticity and cannot expand and contract normally to draw in and force out air. You probably confuse it with cancer because cigarette smoking, the main cause of lung cancer, is also linked to emphysema. Both diseases would occur much less frequently if there was cigarette no smoking.

Question: "Does the American Cancer Society do research?"

ANSWERline: The ACS does conduct one kind of

ille

research itself: computer aided studies of large population groups to discover if there is a link between cancer and the way we live.

That is the only kind of research the ACS undertakes directly. When it comes to the kind Of cancer research , done in the laboratory or hospitals, the ACS supports the work of highly reputable investigators.

Last y ear, the ACS invested $27,000,000 in research.

For more information about how this money was spent, please check with your local ACS unit for a special leaflet.

A hospital nurse asks: `.'In our hospital we give routine Pap tests to our women patients and I think that it is a good idea to inform all women about this test. Can you tell me how many American women have had a Pap test?"

ANSWERline: We think that it is a wonderful idea as well because a quick, painless Pap test is the best way to detect a common form of uterine cancer in its most curable stage. It is estimated that some 78 percent of American women have had at least one Pap test. But, please remind your patients that one Pap test is not enough: it must be done on a regular basis to help safeguard a woman throughout her life. By the way, the American Cancer Society is trying to have every woman at risk take a Pap test by the end of 1976 — a good way to mark our Bicentennial.

THE SCIENTISTS TELL ME ...

By Robert L. Haney, Science Writer The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station

Texas Vegetable Production Shows Great Potential Wouldn't you like to grow a tomato that could go ahead and produce when other varieties quit in the hot summer? Or a cucumber that would yield twice as much as the previous most popular commercial variety?

These aren't a gardener's daydream, but recent developments from your Texas Agricultural Experiment Station (TAES). Scientists there are busy in different sections of the state improving production practices to increase the yield per acre. Or they're breeding better varieties to improve resistance to extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold), disease, or insects.

A shortage of labor willing to help produce and harvest vegetables like tomatoes, onions and cucumbers all but put some growers out of the vegetable business. Or where labor was available, it was so expensive that the resultant cost of the product drove buyers away.

In recent years, Experiment Station engineers and plant breeders have designed machines to harvest such crops and bred plants that are machine

harvestable. This helps deliver to consumers an increased quantity of vegetables, of better quality, and helps hold down the retail cost.

Vegetables, whether fresh, frozen or canned, are in great demand in Texas. They're now grown on 250,000 acres and bring growers more than $200 million a year.

An industry this size generates substantial additional agri-business such as fertilizer, weed and insect-control chemicals, machinery, fuel, etc., as well as in processing and handling of the crop. All this is an additional boost to the Texas economy.

Nationally, Texas is number one in production of cabbage, spinach, and watermelons; number two in production of cantaloupes, carrots, and onions; and, third in overall production of fresh market vegetables.

Over 30 different vegetable crops are produced in the state. Experiment Station researchers say they expect to see increased acreages in Texas since improved technology and intensified production practices favor us. Our long growing seasons, fertile and well-drained

soils, and availability of irrigation are additional advantages.

Onions and pickling cucumbers seem to have the greatest potential for increased acreage, according to Dr. Leonard Pike, coordinator of vegetable research for TAES. "New varieties, adapted to machine harvest, will give Texas an advantage over northern regions", Pike says, "because of a longer season that makes feasible two or even three crops a year.

"Major vegetable expansion is expected in the Lower Valley, Winter Garden, High Plains, and river flood plains.

"Present coordinated research efforts, on onions, tomatoes and pickling cucumbers and between various groups in industry and Experiment Station researchers, demonstrate that increased production of machine harvestable vegetables can be achieved," Pike says.

For example, TAES cucumber research by Pike produced the TAMU Triple Cross hybrid which is high yielding and disease resistant. Compared with the previous widelygrown commercial variety, the Triple Cross delivers twice the yield per acre (7,700 pounds vs. 4,000 pounds). And, in some areas, it can be triple cropped (three crops grown in a single growing season.)

The Saladette tomato is a hardy, diseaseresistant variety developed

by TAES Horticulturist Paul Leeper. This tomato

is not only machine harvestable but also is capable of bearing in hot weather.

That's vital to production in Texas.

Other researchers are developing better onions, black-eyed peas, cantaloupes, Irish potatoes, carrots, lettuce and other vegetables. And they're working on better ways to grow, harvest and market theta. The results of their research are made available as rapidly as possible. New varieties are usually made available to commercial nurseries to multiply for general use.

Improved methods developed by TAES in producing, harvesting, or marketing vegetables are made available to your Texas Agricultural Extension Service. This agency has the responsibility and facilities to rapidly and efficiently convey such information to producers and the general public.

So if you have any doubt about whether you're planting adapted varieties, contact your county agricultural agent or Extension horticulturist. They'll know about best varieties and latest methods. And they can probably tell you which nurseries can sell you the latest Experiment. Station developed varieties.

Agricultural Land May Purify the Sewage of Our Cities More than 150 cities in Texas have been applying sewage to agricultural lands for a number of years. A sort of magic change was expected from exposure of sewage to sunlight, air, growing plants and the teeming life in the soil. Nature would clean up the water for irrigation and other use and reclaim the nutrients in the sewage for food production.

Does this method really work, or is it a dangerous practice that poisons the soil and threatens our health? A team of scientists with The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station (TAES) and Texas A&M University are evaluating the effect of applying municipal sewage to agricultural soils.

The Environmental Protection Agency is funding the 2-year program of research and Dr. Richard Weaver, TAES soil microbiologist, says it is the most comprehensive of its kind undertaken in the Southwest.

Both the chemical and the microbiological effects of applying sewage to the soil will be studied.

The nutrients in sewage can be used by growing crops, according to Dr. Lloyd Hossner, soil chemist. These nutrients are in short supply and are needed for crop production.

However, Hossner cautions that care must be

taken in such use since toxic metals such as arsenic, mercury and lead could be present. The level of these elements in some sewage waters and the quantity that soils and crops can tolerate will be studied.

Many human and animal disease organisms are present in sewage according to Weaver. The microbiological problems associated with such use of sewage waters needs careful research. If the disease organisms survive in the soil, in the runoff water, or on the plants, the application of sewage to soil may be a health hazard.

The presence of viruses in treated soils will be studied by a virologist, Dr. Fred Heck. He'll find out if such treatment inactivates the viruses or whether they represent a continuing threat to animals and humans.

And there are multitudes of disease-causing bacteria in sewage water.

What's the effect of spreading these on agricultural land; do they die or multiply? A medical microbiologist, Dr. Bill Foster, will find out.

And what about the animals' grazing lands treated with sewage? Are they picking up both toxic metals and disease organisms that they can pass on to humans? A veterinary microbiologist,

Wednesday, October 1, 19'75

Dr. Richard Hidalgo, will study such problems.

It's thought that intestinal parasites are likely to be one of the major health problems associated with grazing livestock on treated lands.

A parasitologist, Dr. Norman Dronan, says proper precautions should solve this problem, and he'll doublecheck to insure it. He'll also be investigating the presence of parasites in wild animals on treated lands to find out their possible role in transmission of parasites to other areas.

Water from the sewageirrigated farm 'being studied seeps into the Concho River. Weaver says possible contamination of the river will be checked by analysis of water samples taken at regular time intervals from the river above and below the farm. And, in addition, samples of water from both deep and shallow wells in the area will be regularly analyzed.

The site chosen for this research has been used by the City of San Angelo for secondary sewage disposal for 15 years. City officials are cooperating with this research team to insure that all possible health precautions are taken.

As the population of the state and nation continues to grow, pressures on our environment (such as sewage disposal) will increase. If a way can be found to safely neutralize and salvage such wastes, all of us will benefit.

American Cancer Socie "I am confused by the different names for breast cancer surgery. What does 'radical' or 'simple' mean?"

ANSWER line: The operation which removes breast tissue, a mastectomy, can be considered "simple" when just the breast is removed and "radical" when the breast and underlying muscles and nearby lymph nodes that drain the breast are removed.

There are other variations of the operation whic'i your can describe. physician A young woman writes:

A reader insists: "Something

happens to a woman's arm after a mastectomy, doesn't it? Losing a breast is bad enough, but who needs that as well!"

ANSWERline: It's true that "something" (difficulty in arm movement) does happen to some women's arms because of tissue removed during some types of mastectomy. But, the happy news is that proper rehabilitative exercises can restore the affected arm to mobility and comfort. The right exercise pays off!

A young homemaker explains:

"My grandmother had a mastectomy many years ago.

Today, it seems to me they are still doing the same type of operation. Hasn't anything else but surgery been discovered in all this time?"

ANSWER line: Surgery remains the main form of breast cancer treatment because it is still the best. But, it is not the only means of treating breast cancer. Today's physician uses a "team" approach in evaluating each patient and the medical profession can call upon radiation, hormones, drugs, and surgery to control this disease.

26 POSLEDN( RUDEHO PLEME Roman od Zane Grey Preloz Josef Vorel Pokraeovani "Nophaie, jak byste vy rozietil indianskou otazku?" otazal se With ers. "Byl jsem mezi Indiany po celY svaj givot. Moje 'germ zna, Indiany lepe net kterykoliv jinY beloch.

Je to nate otazka. Jak tekl stary Etenia, vy mate mysl belocha a krev rudocha Povezte nam, co vy o tom soudite."

Nophaie se opiel o krb a ptistrell svou nohou v mokasinu kus dteva, kterY vypadl z ohne. Byl jaksi smutne klidnY. Jeho ado bylo zamyalene. Jeho oci m'ely onen pronikavY polled a temnou zachmute nost, u Indiana obvykle, ale bylo v nich jette nem jineho a prase pro ono zylattni svetlo v odich ho Mariana milovala. Zdalo se ji, to je v nich due Indiana -- to, v co beloch neveti. Byla zvedava, jak asi Nophaie odpovi na obchodnikevu otazku, a myslila, ze na ni asi neodpovi "Dovedl bych relsiti indianskou otazku. Ptecine bych vyloudil takove misionate jako je Morgan," od povedel s podivnou chmurnou trpkost'. "Pak bych dal Inclia.nam du a svobodu. Nechal bych je pracovati a titi podle jejich yule — poslal bych jejich deti do akoly — aby se pohybovali mezi belochy a pracovali s nimi a pro ne. Nechal bych Indiany teniti se s beloakami a indianske divky provdavati se za belochy. Vzniklo by pak silnejti pie meno lidi. 2acinST lid by neptekonal ptelcagky, ktere jsou radm ted' kladeny. Dospeleho Indiana je tegko zmeniti nebo zkokonaliti. Ale on byl dosti dobrY tak, jak byl. Pro Indiana nehodi se belochtv zpusob tivota. Indian dba jen o poutt‘ a o svuj lid. Protivi se mu mytlenka, to by mel bYti na nekom zavisiSr. Nechal bych ho pracovati nebo zajak by chtel. 6asem by se z neho vyvinul delnik. Indianske de ti maji bSit vychovivany. Ano! Ale nemaji bYt udeny, aby pohrdaly svymi rodidi a ztikaly se sveho Mtbotenstvi. Indianske deti by se uoily — tak jako ja jsem se ueil.

Mne znidilo to, to se ze mne stal nevetiei. Nechte nabogenstvi Indiana na pokoji ...Indian nellti se leda tim, to je pi ilie od belocha

blite elementarnimu tivotu primitivnim pudam. Lepti ptiklact belochiiv by vzdy jiste nalezl nasledovani. Indian by se udil, kdyby nebyl podvaden a nasilim dohanen ...IVlyslim, ze nejleptim nabogenstvim je pravidlo: "Co necheet aby ti jini cinili, ani ty jim nediri.' Kdyby se ho &tell i zde, indianska otazka byla by snarina."

Pozde yeeer, kdyi Withersova rodina a elenove jeho clomacnosti 0detli na lote, Mariana sedela je:ste chvili s Nophaiem pked thavirmi uhliky v krbu.

Tato chvile byla skuteene nejst'astnejs a nejkrasnejti ve svem naudeni ze vtech, ktere kdy s nun ztravila. Jeho trpkost ponekud zmi zela. Byl-li znamenitYm elovekem, nein tel do valky, jaltYm byl ted'?

Tato tajemnost a hrozna povaha nemoci desila Indiany. Nemohli ji pokladati za obyeejnou nemoc. Byla to metla zleho ducha.

There's Nothing Like a Child To Stimulate Your Awareness Of Time!

Time is a relative element. Sometimes it "drags," sometimes it "flies." Of all the indicators of time, a child best tells how quickly time passes.

Today a baby — tomorrow, a young adult ready to face life. You can't stop the process. But you can prepare for the future.

No one knows what the future holds, but whatever it may be, it's nice to be prepared.

Let SPJST Fraternal Life Insurance help you prepare for their future — a college education reer, or anything that might arise.
