FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK .. You will be reading these lines just prior to Father's Day, Sunday, June 17.

These lines, while being written, cannot but help bring reflections, in this writer's mind, on the meaning of that certain day, mainly, because this writer is a father of two fine upright and intelligent sons and the son who was brought up by a fine, sincere and intelligent father and mother. Of course, Father's Day and Mother's Day are special days set aside to honor our mothers and fathers, yet, all of us know that every day is mother's and father's day as far as responsibility for the family is concerned; that, naturally, involves many things, especially, the home, school, communication, discipline, understanding, involvement, etc. and details too numerous to mention.

In retrospect, our father never spanked any of us children, however, if we did something that did not meet with his or mother's approval, he could give either of us a reproachful look that made us wish he had done so instead. He was not the "ruler" of our home; he was the sympathetic, understanding head of our household.

I, for one, learned, early in life, that I could depend on his sensible advice and, if I disagreed, I had the freedom to sincerely discuss the matter with him. He generally proved that his point of view was correct. The one thing he was very definite on was smoking; although he smoked a pipe (very limitedly ), his outright state-

FATHER'S DAY June 17,1979 In this busy world ..where many things Are changing day by day, ..A Father's heart is constant In a warm, unselfish way.

A Father's heart ..is always wise, And understanding too--..The love within his heart Is always strong and true.

A Father's heart's treasure ..And time reveals its worth, For there isn't any kinder or ...More faithful heart on earth. ment to my brother and me was : "You

better not be caught smoking until you are 18 years old; it will hurt your growth and health.- For that admonition I have been thankful to him all my life. • Now, as I reflect on the meaning of Father's Day to me, personally, I find that 1 do not expect any special thoughts or gifts because I feel I have two of the finest gifts a father could have: two fine and respectful sons who do not smoke, drink, drive foolishly, etc. and are courteous to their elders, whoever they may be; probably this is due to their mother's counseling more than father's, however and regardless, it is still a reward. This may sound rather personal, however, it is not meant to be so; too many times we

have heard the words: We just cannot do anything with our child (or children)! It takes time, patience, understanding and reasoning; do not expect the school teacher, neighbor, preacher or someone else to do it for you. They can and will help, however, the ultimate responsibility is in the parents' hands. Keep this in mind.

When growing up, your editor listened to a recording many times made popular by Gene Autry; if memory serves correctly it was one of, if not the first, that sold a million records. It is very fitting for Father's Day. The name is : "That Silverhaired Daddy of Mine." I have always loved it even as a boy.

Some of the words : In a vine-covered shack in the mountains bravely fighting the battle of time.

Is a dear one whose weathered life's sorrows.

It's that silver-haired daddy of mine. ** ..The district and State YADs are fast-approaching in these months of June, July, and August and are going

to mark a busy summer for our DYCs, YLs and youth, again, and we wish them all much success, however, the one thought that is always in many of our members' minds is the gasoline situation and whether or not they will be able to go there and get back. It is something to keep in mind, because, recently on one trip, we were going about 400 plus miles round trip and

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE SPECIAL NOTICE TO: Lodge No. 7 Caldwell Lodge No. 17 New Tabor Lodge No. 116 Cooks Point Lodge No. 120 Deanville Dear Members: Based on the desires expressed by some of you and the correspondence with all of you since then, this is notification that we will proceed with the joint meeting on June 24, 1979 in the New Tabor Hall (home of Lodge 17). The purpose of this meeting is to hear the pros and cons and a detailed explanation of what all is involved in a merger procedure such as is being considered for the four lodges. After the meeting on the 24th, each lodge will then have the opportunity to go back to their members, proceed according to Article 115 of our Society's By-laws, and then vote on whether you are in favor or not of the impending merger.

In the event the reaction is favorable on the part of the four lodges, another meeting would then be held for the purpose of choosing a lodge number, name or designation, and electing officers for the new lodge. Of course, if one of the four lodges votes not to merge and the others do, those can then still proceed with the merger; the' decision is up to the members of each lodge.

The meeting on the 24th will commence promptly at 7:30 p.m. I will convene the meeting and answer any questions that anyone may have. In the meantime, please get the word out to all your members about the June 24th meeting.

Fraternally, Nick A. Morris President, Supreme Lodge

Dear Members and Friends: The dance held June 2nd was well attended and the Joe Young Orchestra furnished us beautiful ballroom music to dance to.

We had many new guests in addition to guests from Sons of Hermann, Woodland Park and Mason Park. We were happy to have Mr. and Mrs. Goodson and their group from Lodge 88. We are always happy to have all who can come to enjoy a fun evening with us.

My special thanks to Sister Sophie and Brother E.C. Baker, Selma Tomlin and Sister Amelia Tofte for their donations of nice door prizes. Sister Mary Green drew the tickets for the prizes.

We are happy to know that Sister Marcia Martin is home again after a few days in Bayshore Hospital; she is feeling much better, and we all hope you will continue to improve.

We missed President Brother Victor Peter and his wife Sister Lillia Mae at the dance. Lillia Mae has been under the weather, but I understand she is much improved. We hope to see both of you at our next dance.

We were happy to see Sister Doris and Brother Hank Kendall at our dance; they are great workers in our social club and cannot always be with us at our dances.

Sister Joyce Kimmons had the misfortune to break her foot last week, but was at the dance, smiling as usual, and enjoying the music and watching others dance. She and her husband Jim are regulars at our dances. Joyce, I hope it will not be long until you can dance again.

Ruth and Frank Warnek were celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary, while Doris Sell was celebrating her birthday. To Brother Albert Risinger, my co-chairman, I wish you a happy birthday on June 15th. To all who have a birthday this month: May it be a happy one.

We will dance to the music of Julius Tupa at our next regular dance for June 16th.

Many interested members attended the second quarterly meeting at Lodge 54 on June 3rd. Following the usual opening ceremonies, a moment of silent tribute was observed in memory of Sister Rosie Matus. May she rest in peace. The members of Lodge 54 also extend their condolences to Sister Wilma Nesuda and family on the loss of Brother Alvin Nesuda, our District III sales representative.

The members accepted all officers' reports as they were presented. It was then reported that an Expression of Sympathy was sent to the Rosie Matus family.

Our youth club members, maintain a very busy schedule throughout the year in our community; this makes it somewhat difficult for our members to attend the functions certain dates because it conflicts with their outside activities. Youth Leader Mona Zahirniak continued by saying that the money-making project which was approved by the club will be used for an out-of-town trip sometime in the summer. In addition to her report she mentioned that Doug Chudej, a youth club member, was involved in a bicycle accident over the weekend and he is in the West Community Hospital.

DOUBRAVA-NOVAK REUNION Descendants of Vincenc Doubrava and Frantiska Novak Doubrava will meet at the American Legion Hall in Fla Ionia on Sunday, June 24, 1979 beginning at 10 a.m. They will be joined by descendants of Frantiska Doubrava's brother, Vincent Novak and his wife, Frantiska Machacek Novak. Each family is asked to bring a basket lunch, dishes and utensils. A family-style meal will be served at 12 noon.

A highlight of the day's activities will be the release of the newly published family history--CZECH PIONEERS IN TEXAS: VINCENC DOUBRAVA AND FRANTISKA NOVAK DOUBRAVA AND THEIR DESCENDANTS. The 208-page history authored by Dorothy S. Miller, great-granddaughter of Vincenc and Frantiska Doubrava, starts in Bohemia and follows this pioneer family to Fayette County, Texas in 1874 or 1875.

Five of their six children married and added the names of Macha, Faktor, Vacek, Pavlas and Machalec to family ancestors. Four of these families stayed in Fayette County and two moved to Bee County. The history accounts for 373 descendants, but, more importantly, it describes the everyday lives of these ancestors whose sacrifices and pioneering spirit make it possible for these descendants to live in freedom and enjoy a more abundant life today.

OUR APPRECIATION

LODGE NO. 51, ELLINGER

We wish to thank the following members of Lodge No. 95, Seymour, in remembering us when we lost our home and all our belongings in the devastating tornado in Wichita Falls, April 10th:

Dear Members: This is to remind you that our next quarterly meeting will be held Wednesday, June 13th, at the Ellinger Fire Station at 7 p.m.

The second reminder is that this will be the last meeting before the bi-annual picnic, and all of the plans and preparations will be brought up for discussion. That is why it is important for you to be present at this meeting.

Remember that ONLY the members who pay their "local" dues will receive the invitation to the picnic. If you have not been paying the local dues for the past several years, now would be the time to start paying the dues and become one of the active members and get your invitation to come and meet your fellow members once every two years. Presently our local dues are only 60 cents per year.

If you have any questions, come to the meeting and the officers will be happy to answer them, or, you may write to the secretary. Most important of all, however, is that you come to the meeting.

The Saturday night dance with music by the Gold Banners, to start off, had a very slim attendance but, as the evening went on, the Chandelier Ballroom filled to a satisfactory

VESTNfK attendance and the music by the Gold Banners was really good and enjoyed by all present. The Hosting Committee for the night was Brother Franklin Bravenec who was in charge and, in the box office, his sweet spouse, Almeda, was dressed in a lovely gown, with Gladys Elolf, also dressed to perfection, greeted the guests at the door. Gladys' husband, Milton, escorted the guests to their reserved tables.

Sunday was Splash Day, which is our annual affair, and the youth had a real splash in the olympic-sized swimming pool. The youth staged a beauty contest ; the details of this will be reported by the youth in the Youth Section. Dinner served at noon and throughout the day was very good and commented on by our guests; our Kitchen Committee deserve compliments and thanks to all the good members who helped for hours to serve. Of course, Sister Annie Vala is the one who holds everything in the palm of her hands and knows how to manage. The pastry booth was loaded with mouth-watering home-baked pastry, all set out on the counter to please the eyes. To all the donors : MANY THANKS! Dear ladies, you really went all out with the delicious pastry. Thanks, again! The Birthday Club Sisters were in charge of the pastry booth.

In the afternoon the Chandelier Ballroom filled with guests to dance to the music of Joe Patek and Leroy Matocha; they battled it out from 3 to 9 p.m. The only thing wrong was that our air-conditioner in the ballroom was acting up and it was hot like a blaze. Of course, years ago, we did not know what air-conditioning was ; but now, we are softies and hardly can take it. The guests were very understanding and enjoyed the dance.

SORRY. The dance was in charge of Royal Warnasch and his wife, Laura, in the box office.

Brother and Sister Karl Hassebaak came to the Saturday dance after enjoying a nice dinner in one of our nice restaurants here in Houston, to celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary with friends surrounding the table. Sister Hassebaak was sporting a beautiful and huge orchid given to her by her husband, Karl. Congratulations !

Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting a very nice young man, the band leader of the Polka Dance Band of Corpus Christi, Texas ; he was none other than Johnie Ondrusek.-J hope we will have the pleasure to dance to your

Wednesday, June 13, 1979 music, Johnie. He is a very nice young man.

Brother Joe and Sister Della Miksch, in company of Tom and Clara Jecmenek, are heading for Las Vegas ; they left this morning (June 4th) and will come home in a roundabout way visiting relatives. They are driving and I hope they won't have trouble filling the tank with that precious fuel now so scarce. Well, they all are retired and it doesn't matter when they have to be back. Good luck!

Sister Anna Svestka is confined in Methodist Hospital. Anna was stricken with pains Wednesday night and was rushed in an ambulance and placed in the intensive care unit where she stayed until Sunday afternoon and now she is in Room 835. Tests will determine what caused it and treatments will follow. Brother Robert Eubank also entered Sam Houston Hospital Sunday to have tests made.

We wish both of you a speedy recovery and the same to all our ailing members and friends.

Sister Annie Green found her farm place in Houston County quite damaged after the Wednesday hurricane when she arrived there the following day. Good thing that she was not out there as she usually does and stays overnight.

Vacation— time is here and our members are flying and driving in all directions . to enj oy a week or more, free of worry about the gas situation.

Five couples of mutual friends winged to Hawaii, the island of love and music, and among these ten people, was the recently-wedded couple Ellen and Ed Miculka (yet considered as newlyweds ), John and Judy Sindel, Joe and Dagmar Koenig, Bill and Norma Petrzelka and, of course, the lovely couple Henry and Doris Knapick. Last year when I was with them on our Hawaiian cruise, Henry was a perfect escort to his wife, Doris, and Ellen now married, and myself. All that time I had them on my mind and remembering the good times we had. Of course, Ellen said she missed me as her roommate, but I doubt it, I am sure Ed was a better substitute.

The first stop for three days was at Waikiki, Oahu from there two days at Kona, Hawaii, three days at Lahaina, Maui; then they toured Honolulu Punch Bowl Crater with National Memorial Cemetery, Monova Valley, the University of Hawaii and Pearl Harbor. They visited the City of Hilo and the Volcano and had lunch at the famed Volcano House built on the rim of the volcano crater and, at night,

they enj oyed a big luau on the lawn of their hotel. They also visited the orchid farm, the sugarcane farm, and had the pleasure to pick pineapples on Maui. Lahaina was once the whaling center of the Pacific. Afterward they enj oyed a swim and dip in the blue Pacific Ocean and lots of delicious food washed down with potent Hawaiian drinks. Now, they are at home and dreaming of the good time of eight days with friends.

Sister Irene Slovacek returned from her trip to Virginia where she attended the wedding of her only daughter Betty Jean to be married to Peter William Smith IV on Saturday, May 26th at 3 p.m. in Roys ter Memorial Presbyterian Church. The bride came down the aisle on the arm of her future father-in-law, Mr. Peter William Smith III. Betty Jean wore a beige lace cocktail dress and her maid of honor, Mrs. Randall James, also in a cocktail dress in lilac ; both carried nosegays in matching colors. The mother of the bride, Irene Slovacek, wore blue and the mother of the groom, Mrs. Peter William Smith III, wore pink; both were dressed in cocktail dresses. A lavish reception was held at the spacious and beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis J. Osterhous in Virginia Beach. Irene was quite taken by this beautiful home built in 1885 and restored by Mr. and Mrs. Osterhous.

The father of the groom served as best man. The newlyweds will honeymoon at the Tides Inn Resort. The rehearsal dinner was held before the wedding Friday, May 25th at the Pine Tree Inn. Irene is very happy and proud of her son-in-law. We all wish both of them a happy future. In 1959 Betty Jean was chosen District V queen and she was a youth member of Lodge 88 and she still is a member of our lodge.

June 16th, the unusual affair of our Hawaiian dance, which is always enj oyable, will be held this Saturday. I hope all of you got your tickets in time.

Will see you!

Dear Members : Our final meeting before our big picnic will be held July 8th, 1979. No need to say we will be discussing picnic plans. Remember, August 5th is a big day at Kovar. There will be a supper, auction, dance, plenty of food including refreshments and a good way to spend your time and money. We will need anything you wish to donate to the auction.

Last year the Smithville merchants were very generous in their donations and I hope they will again help out but you members need to come and offer what assistance you are capable of.

Usually the work is left up to a handful of people and the ones who don't do anything, do all the griping about how it was done. If you want to gripe at least join in the work so you will have a voice in the griping.

Let's work together and make this the biggest day Kovar has ever known.

Sister Ruby became a member of the SPJST in 1918 and she had been a member in good standing for over 61 years. In her younger years she worked very hard to help her lodge in Taylor, Texas to progress. She was very active until in later life when her health kept her at home.

May she rest in peace.

BY FRED M. LEARNED DR. ROBERT E. LYLE NORTH TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY DENTON Scientists at North Texas State University will take a second look at a rejected Chinese anti-cancer compound in their search for chemicals with greater cancer-killing potency and less harmful side effects.

Dr. Robert E. Lyle, Professor and Chairman of the Chemistry Department at NTSU, said today new studies will be made to produce a compound similar to Camptothecin, a chemical agent made from the bark of trees grown in mainland China and used there, experimentally, to treat cancer.

Dr. Lyle and his colleagues are seeking ways to overcome the poisonous side effects of powerful chemicals such as the antibiotic, adriamycin, commonly used to treat cancer in this country. His research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

Dr. Lyle's research team is now remodeling adriamycin, substituting a chemical bond of nitrogren rather oxygen to hold the molecule together. It is thought that the bad side effects of adriamycin are due to "fragments" of the substance which break off during the antibiotic's passage into the cancer cell.

A less toxic analog of the Chinese

19 compound, Camptothecin, will also be sought, using experiments made four years ago by Dr. Lyle and other scientists at the University of New Hampshire and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. These tests were suspended in the United States after it appeared that the compound, although extremely active against the cancer cell, was too toxic for human consumption. However, reports indicate that tests in China continued.

Chemists at North Texas State, also exploring chemicals that cause cancer have found clues to why some known carcinogens found in food, do NOT always cause cancer. Their studies have shown that nitrosamines can be so chemically bonded in the digestive tract that their cancer-causing ability is "shackled." Ordinarily nitrosamines, which can be formed from nitrites used to preserve food and amides produced by the digestive tract, are among the most potent carcinogens. Now it appears the body may disarm them.

** DR. CHUNG Y. CHIOU TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY COLLEGE STATION A man-made anti-cancer chemical has been designed by a scientist at Texas A&M University here to control and possibly cure a deadly type of cancer in children that arises from a primitive nerve cell that never fully developed.

A pharmacologist, Dr. Chung Y. Chiou who contrived the new compound, said it has completely cured neuroblastoma in mice in his laboratory.

His research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

Dr. Chiou, who is Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University, has completed animal studies with his compound designated BrACH which stands for "bromoacetycholine," a combination of chemicals that are especially attracted to the neuroblastoma 'cell.

BrACH was man-made to bind to a receptor on the neuroblastoma cell surface which normally attracts a vitamin component. Once the chemical bond occurs, it is irreversible and this reaction blocks the cancer cell's reproductive ability.

More than 40 percent of the mice with neuroblastoma treated with BrACH were cured of their cancers, Dr. Chiou reported. They were treated with doses of the compound comparable to 10 milligram doses for children which, the

scientist said, should produce only minor if any side effects in human patients.

The deadly nerve cancer which affects children, usually 2 to 5 years of age, develops from a primitive cell that fails to complete its transformation into a normal nerve cell for a particular role in the human system. During the first few years of life, the crude nerve cell is subject to some unknown stimulus that alters it into a cancer cell.

Until now no cure has been found for neuroblastoma. Dr. Chiou thinks the clinical trials which will start later this year will find BrACH just as effective in humans as it is in mice. ** DR. ANTHONY R. MEANS BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE HOUSTON New discoveries at Baylor College of Medicine here have opened the way to developing genetic manipulation practices that within an estimated five years could control or prevent hormone-dependent cancers.

Dr. Anthony R. Means, Professor of Cell Biology, said his present cancer research program is making progress toward this goal. Holding an American Cancer Society Research Professorship, Dr. Means also was awarded an ACS research grant to probe the effects of sex hormones on cancer growth.

Researchers have already been able to isolate a single gene and alter its effects on the DNA mechanism which directs cell reproduction.

Dr. Means and his colleagues have used a technique called "molecular engineering" to make a "mini chromosome", a duplicate of a portion of the genetic chain that blueprints and directs cell reproduction. By using this method they have isolated the genes responsible for some functions in a chick oviduct. The organ is useful for research because it remains immature and produces no hormones by itself for 100 days although these tiny organs will respond to estrogen stimulation.

The "sequence" of genetic orders to reproduce egg albumin has been discovered. And part of the sequence for making ovomucoid -- egg protein constituents -- had been found.

Now Dr. Means' research team is searching for "binding" sites of genes with enzymes which can be manipulated to turn the genes "on and off" in making protein.

Eventual control of genetic functions would give cancer therapy a new approach, at least for hormone-dependent tumors, and perhaps other

20 cancers. Changing the hormone environment in a cancer cell through genetic manipulation could alter its ability to reproduce. Techniques to control genes could also be used to detect or even correct "faulty" genes that permit or aid the development of cancer.

Dr. Charles G. Wade University of Texas Austin A new system of observing one of the "ultimate" molecules that create cancer in a growing cell is being perfected at the chemistry department of the University of Texas here.

Dr. Charles G. Wade, Associate Professor of Chemistry, is using flourescence to trace the metabolic pathway of diol epoxide, a molecular product of one of the best known cancer-causing substances, benzo(a)-pyrene, (BP) which is found in exhaust fumes from gasoline and petroleum products, cigarette smoke and other fumes from combustible materials. His work is supported by an ACS research grant.

The technique of flourescence depends on the ability of a substance to absorb light of one energy level and emit a light of lower energy level, providing an identification of the material as unique as fingerprints.

Dr. Wade uses a synthetic membrane similar to that on the surface of cancer cells to measure the intensity of fluorescence caused by BP and its by-product, diol epoxide, at his laboratory here. Colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley, grow living mouse cells for similar tests. The carcinogens (cancer-causers ) from a broad chemical grouping known as aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons, can be "observed" in the cancer cell by their fluorescence stimulated by ultraviolet light.

The epoxide resulting from an enzyme acting on PB, is known to be the active agent in the cancer-causing process but its ultimate role and the "scene of its crime" has not yet been found in the normal cell.

Dr. Wade's method for distinguishing clearly the epoxide's presence depends on a process known as "quenching" which diminishes the fluorescence of the parent substance :BP, while increasing the intensity of its product, epoxide.

Eventually the role of the "ultimate" molecule in triggering the

cancer process of polycyclic hydrocarbons may be disclosed with this technique. ** Dr. Joseph P. Cotropia M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute Houston The first pieces of the cancer immunity puzzle are being put together at the M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute here where an immunologist has isolated two enzymes that are related to one of the body's natural defense systems.

Dr. Joseph P. Cotropia, Associate Professor of Immunology at the Institute has isolated two enzymes--an anti-trypsin and an anti-chymotrypsin from leukemia cells. In cell reproduce tion these agents inhibit one stage in manufacturing protein. His research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

Also identified from the leukemia cells were two antibody components which chemical tests showed could be broken down by the two enzymes.

The body's immune system, which fights off infectious diseases by destroying microbes, is also active against cancer but, apparently, to a limited degree. Scientists have been searching for answers to why advanced cancer patients show little if any immunity to their disease, although tests with animals and with some volunteer patients have shown that the immune system does react to cancer cells. Dr. Cotropia is exploring the process in which enzmyes are bound to the surface of cancer cells.

This reaction signals the production of antibodies which attack the specific kind of "foreign invader" recognized by the enzyme.

Further research confirming the action of specific enzymes could clarify the immune reaction picture and lead to new methods of treating cancer. In the meantime a possible means of controlling metastasis, the spread of cancer within the body, may be developed. The enzymes detected in leukemia cells may be those responsible for tumors being malignant, spreading to vital organs and killing the patient.

By Dr. Ruthann A. Masaracchia Texas State College of Osteopathic Medicine Chemical sharpshooters are aiming at a new target in the cancer cell with the

VESTIsTiK discovery by a biologist at Texas State College of Osteopathic Medicine of a new enzyme that could be a key factor in controlling growth.

Dr. Ruthann A. Masaracchia, Assistant Professor of Biology at the college in Denton, calls the new enzyme "H-4 kinase" which has been found in large amounts in rapidly dividing cells.

Her research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

The enzyme activates a protein (histone H-4) that interacts with DNA, the master molecule that controls cell growth, she explained. Dr. Masaracchia and her colleagues hope to discover why the H-4 nzyme is found mostly in cancer cells or cells that grow rapidly.

That will also test the possibility that H-4 histones have been altered when a normal cell is changed into a cancer cell.

Preliminary steps have been taken in making synthetic peptides which are "building materials" used in the cell structure. Eventually synthetic peptides can be designed that closely resemble those in nature except for a vital atom which is replaced by a chemically inactive one. The "artificial" peptide then would fail to function at a strategic place in the cell's reproduction machinery.

Discovery of the H-4 histone enzyme provides an opportune target for "Chemical marksmen" to aim at in designing new chemotherapy.

Dr. H. F. Gilbert Baylor College of Medicine Houston Chemical "magic" that ultimately can conj ure up an enzyme that really doesn't exist is being invoked at Baylor College of Medicine here in a project that may take a decade to complete.

The first steps have been taken to synthesize man-made enzymes, the chemical agents that stimulate most body processes, including parts of the cell "factory" that turns out good cells as well as the bad ones that make up cancer.

Dr. H. F. Gilbert, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the college, explained in an interview that he is cautiously optimistic that his plan for making enzymes will work but he said, "Our expectations may take ten years to become reality." His present project is supported by an American Cancer Society research grant .

The importance of "man-made" enzymes is almost boundless, scien-

Wednesday, June 13, 1979 tists admit. Not only could medicine benefit endlessly by such an accomplishment, but the chemical industry, manufacturing and even food • production could use artificial enzymes to create their products more efficiently.

Dr. Gilbert is using the immune system of organisms, including man, to produce an enzyme analogue, that is, a biochemical structure that is similar in function to the original. This iS done by utilizing what is known as the "transition state" in a chemical reaction, a state that actually doesn't exist. It occurs instantly when two chemicals react.

The "transition state" between two substances that create an antibody is the model upon which Dr. Gilbert is building his artificial enzyme.

With this "pattern" he puts together chemicals that assume relative positions of the transition state of an enzyme. This combination, presumably, then will bind to a "foreign protein" that acts as an antigen. When introduced into a living system it should induce an antibody reaction.

Made-to order enzymes would find a number of uses in cancer control.

Because of differences between normal and cancer cells, enzymes that would stimulate reactions only in the abnormal cell could direct the cancer cell to destroy itself. Specific synthetic enzymes could also be devised to replace or reinforce flawed immune reactions in cancer patients.

READING—MORE THAN WORDS BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILD

Parent:c i!ild interaction through reading experiences can be more than just word!;. between the parent and child, Diane Welch, a family life education specialist, says Learning to read is a gradual process that begins before the child enters- school and continues into adult nod.

Reinforcement in the home environment is supportive to the school and at the same time encourages parent-child relationships, the specialist points out.. .

Mrs. Welch is with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System.

EXPLORE INTERESTS Reading aloud to the child in elementary school makes the child feel he is the focus of attention.

Together with the parent he can explore widening avenues of interest, she continues.

21 Books which fit the child's level of understanding but stretch his reading skills can be shared. Answers to stimulating questions are more readily available.

INCREASE THOUGHT PROCESS Reading aloud is an old-fashioned way of helping the child become a good listener.

Thoughts are built, one upon another, as the child hears the smooth floW of words that might he stumbling blocks at his ability level.

Inflection and tone added by the parent increases the child's interest.

BUILD RESPECT Parents can transmit their respect for reading to the child as together they select, read and discuss a book.

The positive attitudes of a significant adult reinforces the idea that reading is fun, Mrs. Welch says.

Often the reading role can be reversed and the-child might select a hook he feels comfortable with and read aloud to the parent.

PRAISE EFFORTS The adult should praise the child's efforts and help him to understand the parent's pleasure in hearing his reading 'accomplishments.

A reading period at the end of the day can build into memorable childhood experiences and can encourage the development of a skill that brings pleasure throughout a lifetime, she adds.

KEEPING MARRIAGE STRONG Though a happy marriage is still one of the most richly rewarding of all human experiences, it requires tolerance, understanding, faith, sharing and careful handling.

Although more than a million Americans sign a divorce decree each year-Lmarriages are worth saving, a faniily life education specialist, Jenny Retnhavit, says.

While some separations are sensible and some divorces inevitable, a greater number of marriages could be revitalized, she continues.

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

Just as an adequate knowledge of physical "first aid" can save a victim from drowning, some knowledge of psychological "first aid" can often rescue an ailing marriage, the specialist adds.

Some suggestions for keeping a marriage strong include,: Decide to make the marriage work.

Those who enter marriage thinking they can get a divorce if things don't work out will probably get a divorce.

Devote energies to repairing the marriage instead of replacing the marriage partner.

Establish a dialogue.

A couple must discuss ideas, concerns, problems, hopes, pleasures and plans to maintain a relationship.

When the lines of communication between a husband and wife become disconnected, they no longer send or receive important messages.

Couples must find methods that work for them and set aside time to communicate.

Some ideas are: --leisurely walks to discuss events of the day --regular chats to make decisions and to discuss issues --weekend leisure time for communication --commitment and willingness to share thoughts 'ind feelings.

Avoid "gunny s, Deal with emotions as they occur--storing up in a "sack" is non-productive for the individual and the couple.

Sooner or later the hurt, frustration, disappointment or sadness will come out into the open, and it is harder fora couple to work through large amounts than small amounts of emotion.

Make time and a commitment for sharing large, small, happy and sad experiences.

Become aware of what one mate does that can influence the behavior of the other.

• One mate's behavior can and does influence that of the other mate.

For instance, does one mate provide attention only when the other is sick, thereby reinforcing the positive reason for being sick?

The lesson is that during times of marital trotible, couples must take a long hard look at themselves.

They must ask themselves this question: "What am I doing (consciously or unconsciously) to contribute to my partner's depressions, moods or ailments'?"

Allow for separateness in the marriage. Let the individuals and marriage breathe.

A marriage needs enough separateness so the partners do not lose their true identity or individuality.

An effective, happy marriage has two whole people who are interacting.

Both have their own interests.

1 They are not resentful or unhappy and enjoy being together as well as times of separateness.

On si liboval v sensaci, a kdy videl jak tide se hrnuli shlednout vybuchnut9 kotel na lokomotive, tak si vymyslel plan neco podobneho udelat, aby lid vedel vice o to 'Katy' Zeleznici.

Tak pfemluvil spoleenost aby dve lokomotivy jely rychlosti proti sobe a se srazily a ze takto bude to reklama pro Tedy 15, zafi 1896 se to stalo asi 6 mil od West. Na jedne farme, ktera patella rodine Foitove, bydlela rodina Antona Slovaka, rodaka z Moravy ktery mel poeetnou rodinu 13 deti, z nichZ jeite 8 dosud bylo doma na farme. Pan Crush se postaral o reklamu, ze v meste Crush (ktere ne-existovalo) ze se stane neco velmi zvlaitniho a asi 40 tisic lidi pfijelo vlakem, vozem a vielijak, se na to podivat. Deti Slovakovi museli se divat z kopeeka na udalost a jen ty vetii mohly jet s otcem bliEie. Pan Slovak byl tehdy jen 3 roky start' ale dobfe si pamatuje, kdy on a sourozenci sedeli na male budove ktere se obecne fikalo "emuk" eili udirna na maso. Koneene vsichni, i jeho pfibuzni kteii prijeli odjinud, se doekali. Dva vlaky jely rychlosti proti sobe a u to Foitovy farmy hezky kus od farmy se srazily a naraz vlakil byl strain9. Kusy Zeleza litaly ye vzduchu a mnoho lidi bylo poranen9ch a jeden zabit. Nektefi byli popaleni v9buchem nebot' kotle vylitly do vzduchu. Vlaky jely 60 mil za hodinu a inien9fi a ostatni seskoeili drive nei vlaky se setkali. Bylo to neco co lid nikdy nevidel.

Po sraZce otec p. Slovaka se set podivat, zda by mohl s neeim pomoci, ale tide se pomalu vraceli domil, to bylo neco na co dlouho vzpominali. Pan Slovak pak sesbiral s pomoci deti viechny kusy deva a takto meli zasobu na dva roky. Take naiel lepii kusy z kterjrch zhotovil menii truhlici eili "chest" a tato je nyni majetkem p. John Slovaka. W mnohokrate obdrZel nabidku za tuto truhlici (di kolik tisic dolaril) ale pan Slovak vie odmitl. Panu Slovakovi jest nyni jiz 85 let ale stale o pilhode pied 82 lety ma jasn9 obrazek, na kter9 nikdy nezapomene. l ikal nam, ze on i jeho manielka budou na podzim jiz 60 let spolu, coi jest dlouha doba.

Pekne jsme se pobavili rozhovorem s nimi a jiste jim pfejeme to nejlepii nadale. Oba jsou elenove SPJST 84. late' musim sdelit ze p. Crush ztratil praci ale za kratko zas ho spoleenost vzala zpet a pozdeji byl pov9ien nasledkem tett) afery. Zvlaitni je, co vie se na svete deje,

V Salt Lake City, Utah se nedavno oddelily srostla eili "Siamske" dvojeata, ktera • se narodila srostla hlavami.

DvojCata jsou nyni 19 mesicii stall a operate trvala pies 16 hodin a mnoho lekafa, oieteovatelek a pomocnika, (celkern asi 20 lidi) pracovalo na tom oddeleni. kdy lebky byly odfiznute a i mozek na jednom miste musel bjiti pfefiznut.

Deveatka jsou na obrazku velmi rortomile a jiste jim kiddy pfeje, aby se brzy pozdravily a normalnim Zivotem jako jine.

Take zde se udal peipad, kter9 stoji za zminku. lista mlada svobodna Zena mexickeho pavodu zila s milencem stejneho pavodu a skrz neco se pohadali a on ji stfelil a zabil na miste.

V 11. hodin syn Johnny pfijel pro mne, nalozili jsme nadobu s vecmi a jell k sini. KdyZ jsme dojeli, tak prave jsme se sjeli se zpeval4, co prijeli z Victorie; bylo jich 21. Viichni na sv9ch autovozidlech. Bylo radostne shledani a piivitani se s takovou dru'ilinou v

narodnich krojich. Na pipraven9 dlouhjr stul jsem rozloZil moje veci. Spolkovjr bratr Jerry Elzner a spolkova sestra Anna M. Moss pouiili vediejii Tato skrovna v9stavka mela hodne navigtevniCkft, co ji prisli shlednout. jsem mel na starosti poslottiit vysvetlenim, kdy ho nikdo potireboval.

Byl jsem rad, =5:e jsem met pfileiitost se seznamit s tak mnoha lidmi razneho stall. Mezi temito byla pani Leona Stalmach z Taylor, Texas.

Byl jsem seznamen s pattern Adolf Motalem, kterjr je sbormistrem peveckeho sdruieni ye Victorii. On si k memu stolu po prohlednuti si veci na stolech. Podal jsem mu zpevnik velikosti asi 9 x 11 palca, kter9 jsem objednal asi 3 roky zpatky od Americke obce Sokolske z Chicago, Illinois.

Viechny pisne maji noty, die kterjrch je snadtio komukoliv zazpivat, kdo umi eisti mimo textu i noty. Zeptal se mne na jistou pisen, jestli ji znam. Reki jsem jemu, aby si probledl onen zpevnik.

Nevim, jestli tam na gel to, na co se nine tazal, ale pfi gel na pgen "Moravo, Moravo, Moravenko mita." Reki ze tato pisen take hieda. Ja Moravan tam zrozen, y e ikole jsem ji zpival s pin9m citem. Z toho jsem se mohl domnivat, on je take pavodu mora y skeho a ma v nete onu zem; zem strjrch Reki jsem jemu, aby ji Ojai ode mne co pamatku na tento siavnostni den, kdy pomohl nag program (taint vice zabavn9. Sklizeli za kiddou pisni, ktera byla doprovazena na varhany, velk9 potlesk. Od atleho detstvi zpev a hudba mi pfirostly k srdci. Prvni pisen, co zpivali, byla eesko-slovanska hymna "Hej, Slovane."

Nee° za deco a nic za nic Netrvalo to dlouho, co jsem byl volan, abych pf gel k jeviiti, kde byli zpevaci shromilideni. Tam mi pan Adolph Motal podal slavnostne "Record No. 2 The Czech Singers of Victoria." Tento album obsahuje 12 eesk9ch pisni s vyobrazenim 29 hezkjrch zpevaCek a zpevakii v narodnich krojich. Timto einem se mi dostalo velkeho pi'ekvapeni a pocty, ktere si velice vazim, neb jest to dalii pfinos do mojeho pamatniku.
