Dear Sir: I have an item of interest for the readers of Vestnik. On Tuesday, August 7th at 10:30, Channel 8 in Houston is going to air, on a program called "Territory", a 15 minute segment called "Czech Vision". This is footage taken at the Czechs in Texas Symposium. This segment includes performances of Raymond and Gil Baca, the University Czech 'singers, and the Seaton Brass Band, There are also excerpts from speeches by Dr. Svatava Jakobson and Rep. Dan Kubiak.

There is also a 3-hour document of the Czechs in Texas Symposium that is being purchased by Texas A&M University. It has speeches of Rep. Dan Kubiak, Antonin Robek, and Svatava Jakobson. It also has many of the performances at the Seaton Star Hall.

The program is produced and directed by George R. Slanina, Jr. with the assistance of the Southwest Alternate Media Project. All of the crew members were volunteers who received no pay. The cameramen Daniel Jircik and Geo. Slanina are both Czech; the rest of the crew were of different heritage but they helped out because they appreciate Czech culture. Without their help the production would not have been possible.

When Tim and Rosalee Kostom flew in from Houston, the four were ready to greet Ruth and Frank Kurtz with daughter Karolynka Klusmeyer who flew in from Oklahoma City. E.D. and Beatrice Kostom drove in from Bizbee, Arizona. Ruth and Tom Moore with son, Lito, arrived in their luxurious mobil home and during the stay they entertained the family with specialties prepared in their camper.

Frank Kurtz with his recorder gave everyone a chance to bring up moments involving family members present and those long gone, and, Frank, in his inimitable manner climaxed the visit and reunion to the pleasure of all present.

Now they are at home with memories and plans for next year Retired Ed "Sly" Slanina was kept busy for a while taking care of the Sly Amusement Company while his son, E.1 Slanina with his wife, Hilda, flew to Ontario, Canada on July 12th to attend Hilda's niece's wedding. On the 16th, they departed and flew to visit with his sister, Phillis Smith, at the Peace Air Force Base where her husband, Colonel B.A. Smith, is the commander of the base. Phillis in her Lincoln Continental drove them to the state of Maine and the beaches of the Eastern Seaboard. After a nice visit with the family, they boarded a plane to the Virgin Islands to meet with their two sons, Jeffrey and Wesley and after a spree of shopping for a couple of days, they arxlved in Houston on July 22nd.

EveryOne is coming and going, so I decided to spread my wings and fly to Las Vegas accompanied by my good friend, Pearl Hanka, as my roommate and a sweet couple Steve and Estelle Kelly. The three of them are regular social workers; this time they will do some on their own, hope it works. The four of us will have a blast of a good time.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM REPORT LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Friday night, July 27th, we played Verson Steel in a makeup game at 9:30 p.m. and we blasted them by a score of 15 to 0 in 5 innings. Lionel Schulz was the winning pitcher because he allowed no hits, no runs, .2 walks and 5 strikeouts, which was an outstanding pitching performance when you can hurl a no-hitter.

Leading the team at bat were Rick Fountain with a homerun, a double and a single fly; Randy Christian, earned a homerun and a single fly; Albin Vrana also earned a homenm and a single fly; Don Jarma had 2 singles; Jerry Zabojnik had a triple; Kenny Skierski made a single fly plus 2 walks; Danny ates and Kerry Goad, each had a walk.

We had another game Saturday afternoon, July 28th at 2:30 p.m., against Charlie's and we clobbered, them by a score of 8 to 1. Roy Andrews was the winning pitcher allowing 1 run, 4 hits, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.

At bat, the leading batters were as follows: Danny Yates had 2 triples, Don Jarma earned a triple, a double, a walk plus a sacrifice fly; Jerry Zabojnik made a double and a single fly, Kerry Goad

had 2 singles, Randy Christian, a single and a walk, Kenny Skierski had a double, Dan Palm had a single, Rick Fountain had a sacrifice fly plus a walk and Connie Brennan had a walk. We had a total of 12 hits, 2 sacrifices and 2 walks which makes a manager real happy.

We were supposed to have a game at 8:30 p.m. Saturday night, July 28th, but the team didn't show up for the game and we won by a forfeit. This closes play in the Dallas City Major League with a team record of 9 wins and 3 losses, which is a pretty darn good record out of 12 teams in our league. I do not have the results of the other games, so I do not know just where we finished in the league. It all depends on the results of the makeup games played over the weekend.

After the 2:30 p.m. game Saturday afternoon, July 28th, we had our annual wiener roast party starting at 5 p.m. and it was at the Lionel and Ida Schulz's home in their spacious backyard. The party was well-attended by all their players, their wives and children plus all the Lodge 84 officers with their families. Regretfully, our District III Director Brother Sid Pokiadnik and his wife, Justine, could not attend. We really missed their presence.

The wieners were donated by Brother Sid and Sister Justine Pokladnik, the keg of pivo and drinks plus other items were donated by Brother Willie and Sister Carlyn Ondrusek, and the chips, dips, watermelon, cookies and cakes were donated by the players' wives. We wish to express our deepest thanks to the above donors because we deeply appreciate your generosity and your kindness, it was a real blessing for the team. Everyone present had a ball including many of the players, their wives and children who all went swimming in the Schulz's pool. The horseshoe games were enjoyed all afternoon by many participants.

Our next game is Friday night, August 3rd at 8:30 p.m. at Kiest Park No 7 against Charlie's in the Dallas City Championship playoffs. Also, games will be played Saturday, August 4th all day until a champion is decided.

I am hoping to see you at some of our playoff games.

This is the bus recently purchased by Lodge 29 Taylor to transport groups on approved travel. In addition to the youth travelling to camp, the senior members of Lodge 29 have used the bus to visit the SPJST Museum in Temple. This mode of travel has certainly solved many of the youth club's and the lodge's transportation problems. The only other lodge having a similar vehicle for such travel is Lodge 117 in Robstown.

ITEMS OF INTEREST PECAN TREES PROVIDE VALUABLE TIMBER While pecan trees are highly valued for shade and nut production in Texas, they can also produce valuable timber.

"Pecan trees are highly valuable for veneer and sawlogs in areas where such markets exist," says Alan D. Dreesen, area forestry specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System.

"Pecan wood frequently appears as a veneer in the finest furniture stores.

Pecan is also used to make attractive paneling, furniture and other obj ects around the home," points out the specialist.

Another important pecan wood product is firewood. The popularity of wood-burning fireplaces and stoves is growing at a phenomenal rate, and pecan is one of the most available species that produces a high heat output, says Dreesen.

In parts of Texas where pecans grow wild, landowners are being approached by hardwood timber buyers. These timber brokers buy the wood and sell it to a mill. "Most buyers are honest businessmen actively seeking a raw material supply," notes the forestry specialist. "However, there are some who try to take advantage of the landowners by offering to 'thin out their trees'. Thercf-_Te, landowners should be cautious when dealing with brokers."

Of course, a landowner with pecan trees needs to consider thinning his trees for several reasons, says Dreesen. If he anticipates growing a crop of pecans, trees need thinning for improved production. Also, harvesting pecan trees for timber can produce additional income. A third reason for thinning is to improve the aesthetic value of the property. Thinning can open spaces in the native pecan forest.

This will allow smaller plants to come in, creating a better wildlife habitat. It can also improve the visibility through

a forest stand--a feature desired by people who own land for recreational purposes.

CARE FOR ALUMINUM COOKWARE Keep aluminumware clean by washing after use and following manufacturer's instructions for different finishes, a family resource management specialist says.

Generally, aluminum cookware will come clean using hot suds and a sponge or plastic scouring pad followed by rinsing and thbrough drying, explains Bonnie Piernot with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University of System.

However, aluminum cookware will darken from contact with alkaline or pit from prolonged contact with salty or acid foods -- or from not drying completely.

DISHWASHER WASHING Automatic dishwashing may increase the amount of staining on aluminum when the high heat of the drying cycle is added to minerals present in water, she cautions.

However, a dishwasher may be used if it is turned off before the drying cycle begins.

Washing in an automatic dishwasher may affect anodized aluminum (electrolytic action to coat with a protective or decorative film).

COOL BEFORE WASHING Allow aluminum pans to cool before soaking or washing to avoid warping.

REMOVE BURNED-ON FOOD To remove burned-on food particles, fill the aluminum pan with water, cover and simmer, scraping occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Then wash normally, rinse and dry.

Always use wooden, plastic or smooth-edge metal utensils and protect aluminum surfaces from sharp-edged tools such as knives and beaters, Mrs. Piernot recommends.

A soap-filled scouring pad can be used on aluminum (except coated, polished or anodized) and on stainless steel interiors.

RESTORE LUSTER To restore luster on the exterior of an aluminum utensil, use an aluminum cleaner and follow directions.

ENAMEL-COATED EXTERIORS, NON-STICK INTERIORS Aluminum utensils with enamelcoated exteriors and non-stick interiors do not need polishing.

If the manufacturer states that these are dishwasher safe, take care

Life insurance benefit payments totaled $26.5 billion in the U.S. last year, up from $24.6 billion a year earlier.

Of this money, 61 percent was paid to living policyholders in the form of mature_d endowments, surrender values, policy dividends, disability payments and annuity benefits.

Beneficiaries of deceased policyholders received 39 percent of the money.

whole life protection made up the remaining 66 percent of insurance in force.

Term insurance is purchased for a specified "term" — one year, five years or 10 years, for example — and usually at the end of the period the contract can be renewed but at an increased premium. It is less costly initially, but premiums increase when the coverage is renewed because the policyholder is older.

Whole life insurance, which is level premium insurance protection for a policyholder's entire life time, builds up cash value. The value is available as collateral for loans, for example, and may, if the owner later elects to discontinue his original insurance, be taken out upon surrender of the policy.

More Public Workers

More Men Killed

The number of Americans employed by state, local and federal governments has nearly tripled since 1948.

Government statistics for September 1978 show that some 15,413,000 workers were employed by all governmental jurisdictions, compared to 5,288,000 public workers similarly employed in 1948.

Accidental deaths have always been significantly higher among men than women. Latest government data show that men die from accidents at a rate almost two-and-a-half times higher than women.

LIVING BENEFITS ARE THE GREATEST

Family Size Down Women born between 1952 and 1958 on an average can expect to have two children, according to government statistics. By comparison, women born in 1932-33 had an average of just over three children.

Our Death Rate Still Going Down The death rate for Americans has dropped to the lowest level ever recorded.

The death rate was 6.3 persons per thousand population in 1976, the latest year data are available, down 11.3 percent from 1970.

The decrease in mortality reflects a continuing downtrend for three major causes of death—diseases of the heart, cerebrovascular diseases and motor vehicle accidents — while deaths due to cancer continue to increase and today cancer is the number two killer.

Death rates for males now stand at 8.3 per thousand population, compared with 4.6 per thousand women.

Whole Life Policies Favored Over Term Term life insurance accounted for 34 percent of all individually purchased life insurance in force last year, while

STUDY SHOWS BENEFITS, COSTS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION

When a new industry locates in a rural community, there are both benefits and costs, according to a recent Texas A&M University study.

The usual case is that community leaders tend to overestimate industrial benefits while underestimating additional public expenditures needed to serve the industry and its employees. This is the conclusion of three economists who researched the impact of industrialization on rural communities in Texas.

Dr. Lynn Reinschmiedt of MissisSippi State University, Dr. Lonnie L. Jones, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station research economist, and Dr. Richard Floyd, a Texas Agricultural Extension Service economist in real estate, conducted the study.

The economists pointed out that industrialization has been tabbed by proponents as a means of improving employment and income as well as a means of reducing a community's tax burden by broadening the local tax base. However, net community benefits may be lower than expected because some of the payroll leaves the community through commuters, resi-i dents tend to consume outside the community, local government is unable to convert economic growth

into tax revenues, and local government may give too many concessions to new industry. The researchers concluded that industrialization's effect on reducing taxes is minimal.

Nine plants in six rural Texas communities were investigated in 1975 and 1976 to evaluate their net economic impact. Four of the communities were in East Texas and two in Soljth Central Texas. All communities were at one time predominantly dependent upon agriculture or natural resource based economies. Their poptlations ranged from 1,260 to 10,646, based on 1973 census estimates.' Annual employment of the plants ranged from 20 to 152 employees, and annual payrolls ranged from $144,000 to $1,050,000.

Benefits and costs attributed to new industry were estimated and reported for private, municipal government and school district sectors. Direct, indirect and induced effects were also estimated, with both benefits and Icosts to determine net economic impact.

All in all, total community net gains averaged almost $300,000.

In the private sector, some net benefits were direct income, such as wages and salaries, and increased household expenditures made in the community due to increased salaries.

Some costs for this sector included donations of land, buildings, and equipment, expenses incurred in attracting the industry such as advertising costs and travel expenses, and opportunity costs of loans extended at favorable interest rates and repayment plans.

Benefits accruing to municipal government included property tax and municipal service revenues from the industry and new residents and sales tax revenues from the plant payroll.

Among municipal costs were utilities to the plant and new residents, services consumed by commuters, location incentives or subsidies extended to the industry, and indirect and induced expenditures from increased demand on public services.

Some school district benefits were property taxes levied against the new industry and new homes„ state and federal aid for new students associated with the industry, and increased economic activity.

Included in school district costs were expansion of facilities, instructional expenditures for new students, and increased demand on educational services.

The study showed that industries with large capital investments and industries using locally supplied

inputs are most likely to benefit the communities.

On an average, the private sector of local economies enjoyed the bulk of net benefits from industrialization while municipal and school district sectors received a smaller share, the economists reported.

DR. ROBB E. MOSES BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE HOUSTON

The genetic flaws in persons with an inheritable disease who are also cancer prone are being probed at Baylor College of Medicine here to identify errors in the cell's reproductive mechanism that lead to the development of cancer.

Dr. Robb E. Moses, Associate Professor of Cell Biology at the College, is studying abnormal genes that cause five different inherited diseases. These, technically known as autos omal recessive diseases, produce abnormalities such as dwarfism, an acute anemia, or a sensitivity to sunlight. He is seeking the particular reaction between genes and enzymes where the cell process becomes abnormal. His research is supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

At the same Dr. Moses and his research team are looking at cellular flaws in bacteria. With these growing cells it is possible to trace reactions in a' single-celled creature with a single set of genes.

In the laboratory both the bacteria and human cells' genetic material can be "damaged" by either x-ray or ultraviolet radiation, and changes in the DNA molecule observed. One possibility to be tested vesicles in failure of certain enzymes to repair DNA damage as result of genetic mistakes.

Persons with the genetic flaws causing their particular abnormalities are as much as a thousand times more likely to develop a specific kind of cancer. For instance patients with "xerderma pigmentosum" lack a pigment that protects them from the sunlight's ultraviolet radiation. Skin cancer is a frequent result. Other inherited conditions or diseases produce an abnormally high incidence of cancer.

Dr. Moses pointed out that there is good reason to believe that most persons have "flawed" genes. One authority estimates each person has at least a half dozen genes that could be lethal if they were dominant. The chance of their ever being activated, however, is remote. That possibility

could occur only in offspring if one flawed recessive gene, among its millions of neighbors, combined with a similar recessive gene from the opposite sex. Dr. Moses' research for one kind of genetic mistake may lead to the bio-chemical trail that points to the genetic weakness that may be the background for the beginning of cancer.

"PET" BECOMING NEIGHBORHOOD "PESTS"

Those oft-treasured family "pets" are unleashing a new dimension to city problems--becoming neighborhood "pests" which are costly and a growing threat to human health and safety.

And it's spilling over into rural areas, too.

"Dogs and cats, particularly in urban areas, are going to have to be dealt with, sooner or later," assures Dr. Archie 1. Flowers of Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine.

He said dogs and cats are a problem that's not going to stray away--but will get bigger, before it gets smaller.

About 60 percent of people in the U.S. have one or more pets, or companion animals, and "somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 puppies and kittens" are being born every hour.

That's four times the rate of population growth of humans.

"Some cities have an ordinance, or dog law; others don't. If they do, they don't enforce it until there's a rabies outbreak," the veterinarian said, "or when people get fed up on the litter, such as happened in New York City."

Flowers cited the outbreak in Houston in the 1950's which labeled the city as "Rabies Capitol of the World," and in El Paso where an epidemic of rabies occurred in March.

"The uncontrolled pet problem, particularly dogs, is invading rural areas as feral (wild) dogs mate with coyotes," Flowers added. "This is not only 'bad news' for livestock producers but all owners of cats and dogs because of rabies."

He said that city ordinances should become countywide to become effective, as dogs are not respectors of city limit signs.

A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine has a survey-education-costbenefit program available to cities requesting such a program.

"We are not advocating complete animal control. That would be next to impossible," Flowers concluded.

"But, what we are recommending will reduce potential dangers of mad dogs, health and nuisances."

WARNING! FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

Warning! Flammable liquids require extreme caution--in use and storage, says Claudia Kerbel.

Ms. Kerbel is a consumer information specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension . Service, The Texas A&M University System.

'Danger' List Her "danger" list includes'gasoline, acetone, lighter fluid, lacquer thinner, and paint thinner.

Their flammable vapors pose danger of fire--or explosion.

In addition, there are other less dangerous liquids that still require caution--including turpentine and alcohol. They will burn vigorously, although they discharge a smaller amount of fumes than the more dangerous liquids listed above, she says.

CAUTION STEPS Remember these caution steps for safe use and storage: Never use or store a flammable liquid near a flame or heat.

Never store gasoline in the home or car.

Always store flammable liquids in well-ventilated areas.

Store gasoline in tightly capped-and labeled--metal safety cans.

Never store gasoline in glass or plastic containers.

Make sure the safety cans have flame arresters and pressure release valves.

Keep flammable liquids out of children's reach.

Use only Class-B or ABC fire extinguishers (foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical) to put out a flammable liquid fire.

NEVER USE WATER ON A FLAMMABLE-LIQUID FIRE--water can cause the fire to spread or explode.

Never use gasoline as a cleaning, agent.

Turn off gasoline-powered equipment and allow it to cool before refueling--to prevent ignition of gasoline vapors.

If you must siphon gasoline, use a hand-operated pump, not your mouth.

Use flammable liquids in a well-ventilated place--especially paint sprays, removers, synthetic thinners and quick-drying paints. (Be careful not to breathe the vapors.)

Outdoors is the best place to use

these.

These dangerous products can evaporate easily--and their vapors will "build up" in a closed room.

When possible, choose products that are non-flammable and non-toxic.

Always read labels carefully and follow directions for use and storage.

VAPORS CREATE DANGER ' Vapors from flammable liquids are the danger culprit.

Most flammable liquids will readily evaporate--and it is the ability to change from a liquid to a vapor that makes these products so dangerous.

Since many are heavier than air, the vapors can flow along the ground for considerable distances--and produce invisible explosive fumes.

These fumes can burst into flames from a small spark--even at some distance from the liquid itself, the , specialist explains.

affects mostly adults and for which no cure has yet been found. Their possible use for other forms of cancer will be tested later.

Laboratory studies for toxicity and dosage are under way and when experimental treatment begins soon, progress of treatment on leukemia patients at M.D. Anderson Hospital will be noted by observing changes in leukemia cells and in "stem" cells from the bone itarrow where these undeveloped cells are made.

Dr. Plunkett said they expect to follow the progress of treatment on about 70 patients, some 45 of whom will be kept in sterile isolation. This precaution is taken to prevent contamination and infectious diseases to which leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy are especially prone.

YOUR LIFE INSURANCE

DR. WILLIAM PLUNKETT

(Questions and Answers.)

M.D. ANDERSON HOSPITAL and TUMOR INSTITUTE, HOUSTON

Brewing beer may have a new significance for the human system-producing an anti-enzyme that heightens the effect of a new cancer therapy drug.

Biochemists at the M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute here are testing an antibiotic, produced in the beer-brewing process, for its ability to block an enzyme which has been limiting the effectiveness of ARA-C, a powerful anti-cancer drug used for treating one type of leukemia.

Dr. William Plunkett, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the Institute, is testing new forms of the drug, ARA-A, and ARA-AMP for their toxicity and cell-killing effects. His work is supported by an American Cancer Society research grant.

Dr. Plunkett explained that ARA-C is robbed of its potency as a cancer remedy by an enzyme that alters its ability to check cell growth. Originally he was one of the co-developers of ARA-C, an anti-cancer chemical made from acacia, a semi-tropical flowering tree. Now he is testing new forms of the compound that incorporate a factor that will restrain the metabolic step that disarms ARA-A. It was found that compounds with the anti-enzyme factor, including the beer by-product, "deoxycoformycin", could preserve the cancer drug's "nucleoside"_ activity against the leukemia cell. These new compounds are classified as antimetabolites and are expected to be effective against myelogenous leukemia, a type that

Q. When I bought my life insurance several years ago I was really overweight. But since then I've pulled

myself together. I'm a jogger now. I take care of myself and have given up smoking. Shouldn't this make me a better insurance risk if I want more insurance? Can I go back to my company and get my present rates lowered to reflect my improved life style?

A. You should definitely get in touch with your insurance agent to see about getting your premiums lowered. There is a possibility that the insurance you, purchased several years ago was "rated" to reflect, perhaps not your "life style," but your poor health. But since this has improved, you might get a rating removed, if there was one.

Should you want additional coverage, your improved health would certainly be in your favor.

Q. My daughter, a recent college graduate, just got her first job and she asked me if she should buy life insurance. Should she?

A. Life insurance is a good idea for a young single woman - you didn't say if, she is married - but it should address her specific needs and adequately reflect her financial capabilities. For example, she might want to purchase life insurance now because the rates are lower than when she gets older, and if she plans to marry and have children a few years from now she'll have a firm insurance base to protect her family. Or, she might have responsibility for elderly parents or

other relatives who will depend on her income for support.

Whatever her reasons for buying life insurance, she should first sit down with an agent who can help her define her needs and the cost she can most easily bear. This advice is free and she'll be under no obligation to buy.

And don't forget, the smart consumer always shops around.

GOLDEN THOUGHTS FOR MARRIEDS

Chances of you and your spouse getting sentimental over tin, chinaware, even pearls, may be better than you think.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Census show 4 in 5 of those who marry for the first time will reach their tin, or 10th wedding anniverary together.

At the same time, 3 in 4 will reach their china, or 20th anniversary, and 2 in 3 their pearl, or 30th.

What about rubies and gold? Some 2 in 5 will celebrate their ruby, or 40th, 1 in 5 their gold, or 50th.

CALIFORNIA IS FIRST

California again led the nation in total life insurance protection in force, with $250.2 billion in protection at the end of 1977, reports the American Council of Life Insurance, New York ranked second, with $217.0 billion. The nation's total life insurance in force reached a new high of $2,583 billion at the end of last year. This averaged out to $32,400 in protection per family.

WHILE MOM'S AWAY

In homes where the mother works, teenage children contribute significantly in doing household chores.

An analysis prepared for The American Home Economics Association shows that working mothers' teenage children average one hour and six minutes a day doing chores in a one-child family. But in a five or six-child family, the average teenager worked 3 hours and 36 minutes a day on home chores.

INSURANCE USUALLY PROTECTS THE WIFE

Widows received 54 percent of all benefits paid through ordinary life insurance policies.

Children receive 11 percent, husband 4 percent and other relatives eight percent, according to a study of ordinary life policies on which death benefits were paid during a sample month. The remaining benefits were paid to estates and trusts, institutions and employees or partners.

26 Capitals are not used for emphasis or for news headlines in Czech. On the whole, the use of capital letters is rather restricted in Czech.

Here are other important points in spelling: Pronouns and possessive adjectives of the POLITE — FORMAL usage are capitalized, as are those of the FAMILIAR — INFORMAL usage Vy, Vam, Via; Ty, Tviij, Tolle. The latter are ALWAYS caps; the polite form is capitalized only when referring to one person. If you are referring to a group (plural), then the pronouns are not capitalized.

A common error made by many Czechs in this area is that when they use the formal Vy, Vas, Vim, they use a PLURAL verb, although they are addressing only one person. WRONG: Vy (1 person) jste veera jell do mesta. RIGHT: Vy jste veera jel do mesta. Do not use a plural verb unless you are speak ing to more than one person.

The pronoun JA is not capitalized; neither do we capitalize adjectives and adverbs indicating nationality. (This is done in English). Ea.: Mam ceskou ienu. — (I have a Czech wife). Mluvime Zesky. (We speak Czech).

Punctuation marks are the same in Czech as in English. (See also Lesson No. 5): stiednik (;) dvojteeka (:) teeka (.) otaznik (?) earka (,) vykiienik (I) pomleka (—) uvozovky (" ") sitvorky ( ) rozdelovaci znamenko (-) One big difference in English and Czech punctuation has to do with the use of commas.

Commas are used before and after a relative clause: Ztratil jsem knihu, kterou ml daL — before and after a noun clause: Je dobie, ze tomu rozumii.

— before and after an adjective clause: Viechen cukr, vieehna kitVa. — before and after an adverbial clause: Jakmile me uvidel,sel prye.

Finally, quotation marks are ways preceded by a colon. Ex.:Otec fekl synovi: "Pracuj a ue' se!" (In Czech, the first quotation marks are on the line, not inverted, and ARE inverted at the end of the quotation. Our machines here do

not print the double inverted quotation marks. The trend here in the USA is to use the standard English quotation marks — " ") SPJST

CANCER ANSWER UNE A biology teacher writes:

explain reyou "Can combinant DNA research and the controls governing it?"

ANSWERIine: DNA molecules contain the genetic code that orders the life of each cell, and today many scientists are engaged in "recombinant DNA" research which involves a special kind of biological engineering.

Certain enzymes can be used in the laboratory to separate out and "recombine" DNA and proteins in the cells of living things. Insights from this kind of research may help scientists find the mechanism some viruses use to cause animal cancer. Also, genetic recombinations may help scientists manufacture valuable medical substances such as human insulin in the lab or treat plants to improve agricultural yield without the use of chemical fertilizers.

Many scientists have been concerned however that recombination DNA research might lead to the creation of new life forms hostile to human beings. Although there has been no known example of this happening, the National Institutes of Health have issued protective guidelines to insure that such research be done under strict safety standards. Both NIH and the American Cancer Society will support recombinant DNA research only under these guidelines.
