LODGE NO. 80, HOLLAND Dear Members: Lodge No. 80 held its regular monthly meeting Sunday afternoon, June 1st.

The meeting was called to order at 2 p.m. with President Bohac presiding and with twenty-one members present.

All were asked to rise and recite the pledge of allegiance to our United States flag.

Roll call of officers showed Treasurer Brother Latham was absent.

Reading of the minutes from the May meeting by Brother Alvin Martinets, the lodge secretary, were adopted as read.

The president thanked all the members, who helped clean up at the hall before and at the May Celebration.

Well, the XXIII Convention is history.

Only three delegates represented our lodge. We were eligible to send five.

D.I. Bohac, Glen Latham and Joe Barabas represented our lodge. Clifton Martinets was elected as one of the delegates but, due to illness, could not go.

The convention was a success in many ways. It was carried out in a democratic way as it should be, so, for the next four years, as loyal members, we will abide by the by-laws that were adopted by the XXIII Convention.

Our July meeting will be held on the second Sunday in July which is on the 13th.

Door prizes at the June meeting were won by Eddie Kunz, Louise Ivicic and Clifton Martinets.

Keep out of this terrible heat and stay cool.

From The Editor Last issue we promised to write more about the District I YAD held June 22nd in Brenham. Pictures appear in this issue and it was a very well-conducted YAD. Everyone deserves credit; especially DYC Melinda Wilson. And talk about entries! nearly 200 (195 to be exact, I think!). Keep it up District I. *** Sunday, June 29th, we attended the District III YAD at Lodge No. 180, Burleson and we will write more about it in the future. This week, of course, is rather short with July 4th being on a Friday so our mail, of necessity, will not be' in our P.O. Box until Saturday. Your Vestnik may be a day late this week. *•* Today is July 4, 1980 and, as this writer sits at his desk and writes, thoughts go back to the time he visited "Monticello"- the home of the writer of our Declaration of Independence of the United States of America: Thomas Jefferson. I remember walking through the grounds admiring the constructive ability of this gifted man.

He, Benjamin Franklin, John and Samuel Adams were assigned the task of forming a slogan (or motto if you will) for the new-born United States of America. They had seen Europe ruled by kings and queens, monarchs, etc.

And were tired of it. They wrestled with many ideas such as: "Save us from all, God is on our side," etc., yet they saw, around them, people who had come here from all over the world, England, Ireland, France, Spain, The Netherlands, etc. and they decided on this: (and you will find it on our minted coins): E Pluribus Unum — Latin for: "Out of many, one".

Are we really united? In our disregard for our fellow-humans' well-being, are we? Something is wrong, somewhere, when our elderly die in extremely over-heated homes because they will not turn on air conditioners and fans because they fear they cannot pay the electric bill! *6*

Have you ever noticed the busiest folks are always the ones who come through to tackle a project or take on a job that others cannot find time to do?

They serve on committees without any pay and go door to door for a cause, giving their time and their talents for

Wednesday, July 9, 1980 free with no thought of thanks or applause.

There are mothers policing a playground each day or teaching a Sunday-school class. There are fathers out coaching a Little League team or mowing a sick neighbor's grass. There are teenagers working as hospital aides or helping slow learners to read...Volunteers visiting oldsters to bring the love and the comfort they need.

Perhaps you may wonder what manner of folks add to their burdens each day by donating hours of service and time with never a penny of pay.

There are people who find it rewarding enough to know that, because they came through, a project succeeded---a job was well done---some lives were made happier, too. Perhaps their example will help us to see that the world would be better by far if more of us shouldered our share of the responsibility, no matter how busy we are!

Wednesday, July 2nd Brother Meteor Frnka, of SPJST Lodge No. 155, Austin, stopped by our office on the way to Dallas and handed us this item from The Austin American-Statesman by Ellie Rucker. It is interesting and we reprint it.

Q. What is SPJST? It's a lodge or a dance hall and I see signs in towns all around Austin. Look in your entertainment pages. There's always an ad for SPJST. What does SPJST Stand for?--J.M. A. It stands for Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texas. And now we know why they call it SPJST. Translation: Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas. It's Texas' own Czech fraternal insurance organization, formed at La Grange in 1896, according to documents unearthed by Audray Bateman at Austin-Travis County Collection.

And should you think this a no-count, two-bit outfit, you are wrong. It has assets of more than $56 million and lodges in most sections of the state.

Members gather for dances, theatrical productions, some lodges offer courses in Czech language and culture. For older members, SPJST has two modern retirement homes -- one in Taylor, one in Needville. It supports the study of the Czech language at UT, A and M and two Texas high schools.

Send your questions to Ellie Rucker, P.O. Box 670, Austin 78767. Include your name, address and phone number in case she needs to contact you.

We thank. Ms. Rucker for her kind remarks and her able research about our SPJST Fraternal Society and appreciate the kindly pat on the back she gave us. SPJST is a Czech-founded fraternal order founded in La Grange as you state and has many lodges in Texas and is Texas-domiciled operating only in the State of Texas, however, we wish to correct one item in your article — we appreciate the $56 million figure; but, we actually have assets of approximately $28 million,: we hope to make your figures correct soon!

This editor, in behalf of our 56,000-plus members, encourages you to visit our SPJST state headquarters at 520 N. Main, Temple, Texas, 76501 and, especially our Library, Archives and Museum. Call them at 1-817-7731575 to make sure our curator Mr. Otto Hanus is there.

If you are ever in West to buy some Czech Kolache (pastry) or Nemecek klobase (sausage), stop at the SPJST Vestnik office; you will receive a warm and fraternal Czech welcome at Temple and West, both. Thanks, again! By the way, the Czech language is taught in a number of more places in 1980.

If you come to Westfest August 30th and/or 31st, look us up!

(Brother Sefcik: The following is a letter just received from the chairman of the Resolutions Committee at the recent XIIIth National Convention of the American Sokol Organization. I think it is self-explanatory, and I feel that I should share this letter with the membership.

Box 100 Temple, Texas 76501 Dear Brother Morris: Whereas, the American Sokol Organization appreciates the aid and support that it has received from certain Czech and Slovak Fraternal Benefit Societies and Whereas, the American Sokol Organization is in need of the continual support of these Fraternal Benefit Societies

Now, therefore, be it resolved, that all of the delegates assembled at the XIII American Sokol Organization held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 16-18, 1980, by a rising vote of thanks, express their appreciation to Supreme Lodge SPJST for their unselfish aid and support given to the American Sokol Organization in its efforts to promulgate the teaching of Fuegner and Tyrs on the American soil.

LODGE NO. 35, ELK

Dear Members and Friends: Lodge No. 35, Elk, held its monthly meeting on a Friday night, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. President Henry Breitkreutz called the meeting to order. Flag Bearer Ronald Stienke led the pledge of allegiance. The president then welcomed our visitors.

Minutes of the May meeting were read

by Sister Charlotte Banik, who filled in for Bro. Albert because he had to work.

Sister Charlotte read cards received from the Martha McCluskytamily, Henry and Inez Breitkruetz and families. Sister Mildred Steinke thanked everyone for the cards she received during her stay in the hospital.

Henry Breitkruetz, Jr. gave the treasurer's report.

Sister Rosemarie Banik gave the youth club report. She talked about District III YAD and the applications the kids needed to fill out if they planned to go to camp. The people who had birthdays in June were Sisters Rosie Wood, Peggy Dieterich and Bro. Johnny Stuchly.

The committee chairmen all gave their reports; Sister Ruby Pavelka for kitchen, Bro. Johnny Stuchly reported for Bro. Charlie Pavelka for the refreshments and Sister Charlotte Banik reported, for Bro. Albert Banik, for the entertainment.

Building chairman, Bro. Rudolf Vicha reported that he had checked on getting some ceiling fans and that the tile that was placed in the bathrooms and behind the bar needed to be checked for acceptance.

Sister Rosie Wood read the minutes from the last Trustees' meeting.

Members who were named as having insurance policies that are paid up were: Karen Lee Tidmore, John Robert Vicha and Charles W. Pavelka.

Under old business the matter of going to canned drinks was brought back on the floor for more discussion.

Finding a place to store all of the old books and records of the lodge was also discussed.

Under new business the fact that some of the ceiling over some of the seating area needed to be repaired was discussed. It was voted to provide a bus to take the youth and parents to Burleson for District YAD. Bro. Rudolph Zalman spoke; then he handed out the premium refund checks.

The door prizes were won by Inez Breitkruetz for the adult, and Missy Steinke for the youth prize.

Sister Ruby Pavelka reported that Bro. Richard Burney had been in the hospital for surgery and that Sister Edna Mach also had been in the hospital but was at home now.

That concludes my report covering the June meeting. By the time you read this it will be time for the July meeting, which will be Sunday, July 13 at the regular time; hope to see you then.

Before I close I would like to congratulate Eddie Banik and Jason Brown who will be representing District III as king and duke. We also had several 1st place winners in arts and crafts; congratulations to all of you too!

To all who entered: Lodge 35 is very proud of you.

LODGE NO. 74, LOVELADY

Dear Members and Guests: We had another enjoyable dance with music furnished by the Crockett Westerners. It was nice to see so many attending our dance from long distance places. We again had Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bevin and Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, SPJST members, from Lufkin; these people are professional dancers. Richard Bevin is a dancing instructor. Those of you who did not attend, really missed out on a great art of dancing performance. It was like watching the Lawrence Welk Show; also, a very nice couple of members, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hugghinson with several guests from Rusk, Texas came to enjoy themselves.

In addition a part of square dancing group consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stuteville and Mr. and Mrs. Schutz from Etkhart, Texas, plus many other members and guests who came from far-away places to enjoy themselves.

We have a fine group of hard-working officers and members who are putting in a lot of free time and the job rebuilding the floor so all of us can enjoy dancing.

We now have the floor sealed off and can arrange it to be slick for the desire of the dancing fans.

We have a new youth leader, Linda Michka. We hope all the best for her.

Linda is a school teacher and is loved by everyone; all I've ever heard mentioned about her is that she is a wonderful person.

We are looking forward to a harmonious group working together for the good of the lodge which is just going that way at the present time. Let's keep it up! The ones who don't attend our lodge activities because they feel the things do not go their way, are not working for the good of the lodge; you don't See me quit because things do not go my way; certainly, all of us have different ideas

6 about things, therefore, we shouldn't quit because we get offended by someone because they are criticized. This reminds me like a grain on a cob of corn, we don't pick away the whole cob of corn just because, we feel one grain is not good; so those of you who do not like something what is going on, come to the meetings because we have the Rules and Regulations that govern our mother lodge; and if all of us obey the rules, then there shotddn't be any problems in getting along.

lovely home at Navesink, New Jersey about ten miles across the bay from Staten Island, New York. She toured lower Manhattan and visited Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. (This brought back memories of her great-grandfather, Schgenbrunn, imigrating to America). She also visited the Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell, Christ Church, Ben Franklin's grave and the masted sailing ships moured in the Delaware River. In Atlantic City, she walked along the Boardwalk. In addition, she saw the Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, and the Convention Center where the Miss America Pageants are held. Susan was fascinated by some of the towns established in the 16th century that hold many historical sights and facts. She was about a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and she never will forget the beautiful sights of the ocean, hills, trees and the homes of nice and friendly people. As a nurse, Susan will dwell on her well-spent two-week vacation.

LODGE NO. 172, PASADENA Dear Members and Friends: I am back at last, although I get tired very easily, otherwise I am doing allright.

I hope to be able to keep up with my writing from now on. I would like to thank many of you but especially Mary Green and Tennie Coffman for doing my work during my absence; also Margie Nelms for writing to the Vestnik and keeping you all posted on our activities.

Our covered dish supper and free dance in combination with the San Jacinto Czech Club was a big success. This was held June 20th at our lodge; sorry some of you could not come.

Our long-talked about and hoped for vision of our own lodge hall is becoming more of a reality every week. Our plans and blue prints are being made ready for the different contractors. We are in the process of accepting pledges for loans for our new hall. We are also taking names of the people who want to pledge their policies to help us. This is open to members of other lodges as well as friends who are not members. We appreciate your help. Contact us for more details.

The convention is now behind us and those of us who weren't there are hearing many good things about it and what a,

VESTNfIC good convention it was. It is good to hear good things.

I hope the heat is not too bad for you.

As long as the air-conditioner is working everything is fine, except paying the big electric bills.

Don't forget the monthly meeting on July 9th, at 7:30 p.m.; also let us know if you know of someone who would like to become a member of the SPJST. The San Jacinto College Czech classes will begin again in the fall. We need more students to keep going.We plan, again, to have beginners' classes and advanced classes, but we need more students to make our plan work. Do not put off learning another language especially when the opportunity is here to go to class once a week in the evening or more if you wish; you will be glad you `did.

Life is a continuing series of experiences. Every moment of everyday represents something totally new if we decide to view it that way. Like learning a few words and phrases of another language becomes a new experience and leads to another new experience when you meet another person who knows that language that you have been learning.

Do not miss your opportunity.

I hope everyone will have a great summer and be careful when you drive.

Fraternally, Vlasta Machann Secretary -SPJST-

SEATON CHORAL CLUB Dear Readers, Tuesday, June 24, was the first rehearsal for the club since mid-April, and after a 'month's respite to accommodate othet duties. During that time, club commitments were honored, many of the singers attended the SPJST Convention in San Antonio, and all gave themselves over to summertime activities.

The hot weather which is plagueing Texas right now had little, if any, effect on the spirit and singing of the members taking part. In fact, a positive mood prevailed and performance of each song gave impetus for success to the ones following.

Otto and Matilda Hanus, Agnes Schiller, Dorothy and Jerry Pechal, Dorothy Morris, Michael Morris (visitor), Emily Stuteville, Willie and Adeline Kohutek, Mrs. Mary Kohutek (visitor and Willie's mother) and Mrs. Marie A. Zvolanek were present.

Also attending the rehearsal were: Stacie Horelica, Albina Mikeska, Annie Jakubec, Lillian Kosarek, Georgia Sodek, Anne Krcha, Martha and Alfred

Klusacek, J.L. and La Verne Vanicek, Lillian and Frank Mikulec, Vallie Zavodny, Henry and Helen Janacek, Viola Chervenka and Bob and Mary Vasicek.

Practice was devoted to members' choice and the songs took us back in time to a particular occaion or place; times when, perhaps, singing was the only entertainment to be had. They are part of us today in our radio- stero-aerospace world and gently reminded us of our heritage.

Men's voices are strength, body and support in the songs. Thanks to all who came; please continue to come each time. Members who have not been with us in a while are urged and warmly invited to come support the Choral Club.

The meeting and main topics: Minutes of the three past meetings were read; all details concerning the formal picture were settled and discussion was heard on an invitation to sing.

Brother Otto Hanus will frame the picture appropriately.

An 8 x 10 color picture of the Choral Club is available to anyone at a nominal price. Contact Lillian Kosarek at 773-4694 to place your order. It will take about two weeks for delivery.

Lillian has taken care of details accompanying the picture. We, the members, thank her.

Club objectives are possible and attained by the singers help. This results in harmony, pleasure and fun for all.

Annie Jakubec and Henry Janacek, directed and played for us well and through their efforts a good rehearsal was our experience.

Those who attended the convention reported a wonderful, efficient and hospitable 3% days.

Until we sing on July 8, I am, Fraternally, Dorothy Morris Reporter

THE AMERICAN CREED I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose Just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union one and Inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

THE HISTORY OF BROTHER LOUIS DRESSLER Brother Louis Dressler was born 30 May 1891 in Frenstat, Moravia, Czechoslovakia of parents Leopold and Marie Dressler. There were three older brothers, one older sister and one younger sister. Brother Dressler was the last surviving of the children.

After graduation from school, he became an apprentice for sheet metal work and plumbing in a shop in Fulnek, Moravia. After three years, he received his Journeyman's Diploma and entered the trade as a journeyman mechanic. (He had graduated as an apprentice on 31 October 1908).

Brother Dressler followed this trade from November 1908 until January 3rd, 1912 in the towns of Fulnek and Holegov.

In late 1900 older brother, Leopold, had •migrated to the United States and, in 1901, brothers, Frank and John, also

migrated to the United States. November 12, 1903, his mother Marie, died in Frenstat and older sister, Marie, died in early spring also in Frenstat.

In May 1911, the older brother, John, died in the United States and Brother Dressler (then 20 years old) decided that he, his father, and younger sister, Anna would come to the United States before anymore of the family passed away.

Arrangements were being made for the journey to the United States and, in January, 1912, Brother Dressler left Holelov to return to his home in Frenstat to finalize the details of the trip.

His father and sister were able to get exit papers to the United States, but Brother Dressler was subject to military reserve duty with the Austrian Armed Service. He was not old enough for active service but . was old enough to be mobilized in case of national emergency as a military reservist.

At about this time there was political unrest between Austria, Prussia and Russia and Brother Dressler could not get an exit permit.

As a result, he determined to leave secretly ahead of his father and sister and join them in Bremen.

On the 2nd of February, Brother Dressler left his home about 3 o'clock in the morning to walk to the railroad station to start his trip. It was snowing heavily and he walked about 2 and a half hours to get to the train station away from his home so as to avoid being detained.

Due to the political situation it was necessary to avoid recognition and Brother Dressler took a zig-zag route through Drholec, Studenka, Opava, into Prussia then to Berlin and to Bremen by a circuitous route, arriving in Bremen on February 4th.

On February 5th his father and sister joined him in Bremen and three days later they left Bremenhaven on board the ship "Hanover."

After a 4-day stop in Philadelphia, the ship arrived in Galveston, Texas on March 5, 1912. The next day they left for El Campo to join their brother, Frank.

Unable to get work right away in his trade as a sheet metal worker and plumber, Brother Dressler started to work for his brother, Frank as a painter and paper hanger. He enjoyed this work and decided to make it his life's work.

In the summer of 1914, the political differences between Austria, Prussia and Russia erupted in war with much of Europe becoming involved during the next three years.

With the United States entering the war in 1917, Brother Dressler attempted to'

volunteer for Army Service but, was not accepted because he was not, at that time, a United States citizen and only citizens were accepted for active duty.

The lavi relating to non-citizens serving in the Army was changed in 1918 and Brother Dressler enlisted in the U.S. Army on . June 25th, 1918 and was assigned to Camp Travis, Texas in the 25th Company, 7th Batallion, No. 165th Depot Brigade.

While serving at Camp Travis, he was granted U.S. Citizenship on the 17th day of August, 1918.

Brother Dressler served in Company "G," 86th U.S. Infantry as Private (SSN-350-5007) until his Honorable Discharge on the 2nd day of February 1919. He then returned to El Campo, Texas and continued his work as a painter and paper hanger with his brother, Frank, until August 16, 1921 when he came to San Antonio where he started work as a painter and paper hanger. March 18, 1922 he married Agnes Valicek and they made their home at 122 Dullnig Court in San Antonio for the balance of his life.

Of this marriage there were three children born: Georgie, the oldest; daughter, Martha, and Alois Leo, the son and youngest child.

Brother Dressler continued to work for various contractors during this time until 1932 when he worked on various projects with the government. Early in 1940 he began Permanent Civil Service Employment at Camp Normoyle. He continued this civil service career when Kelly Air Force Base assumed Camp Normoyle and was retired January 22, 1957.

Following retirement, Brother Dressler continued active with many of his former contractor friends, working on a part-time basis until he suffered a severe heart attack in December, 1963. He recovered from this attack but did not return to work, except to help neighbors and friends.

On August 1, 1912 a terrible tragedy took the life of the oldest daughter, Georgie. She and her sister, Martha were involved in an automobile accident which took Georgie's life and resulted in Martha being hospitalized for a week with injuries.

In February 1946 daughter, Martha married Jerry Bransford and of this marriage, there were three grandsons born.

In August 1961 son, Alois married Kathryn Beckman. They have three daughters and one son by Kathryn's former marriage.

There are also two great-granddaughters, two from Martha's marriage andi three from Alois' marriage.

21

Wednesday, July 9, 1980 During all of these years, Brother Dressler was active in lodge activities of the SPIST. He became a member of the SPJST in El Campo in 1913 and transferred his membership to San Antonio in 1927. During his life he served as secretary in both lodges with 18 years of this in San Antonio. He was also secretary and treasurer of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association for 24 years.

Brother Dressler was a member of the Praetorian Guard all of his life in the United States.

He helped organize the San Antonio Sokol in 1929 which became a part of the American Sokol Union the same year.

He also helped organize the Sokol in Floresville, Placedo Junction and Corpus Christi.

Brother Dressler was appointed athletic instructor for the Southwestern District American Sokol Union from 1931 to 1934.

ITEMS OF INTEREST AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Texas Division, Inc. RESEARCH GRANTS IN TEXAS

By Fred M. Learned Dr. William T. Shearer Baylor College of Medicine Houston A biochemical balancing act at Baylor College of Medicine between lethal chemicals and a normal life-saving system has yielded a formula for developing improved kinds of cancer treatment.

Dr. William T. Shearer, Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Baylor has found a formula that combines and strengthens anti-cancer chemicals and antibodies.

The latter are produced by the immune reaction, the body's natural diseasefighting system. The research was supported by an American Cancer Society grant.

One of the problems of using the immune reaction to treat cancer is a conflict with other forms of therapy: chemical treatment and radiation.

As well as killing tumor cells, anti-cancer drugs stimulate other body systems, including the growth process itself, the research indicated.

Dr. Shearer and his colleagues previously found that antibodies have a cytotoxic (cell-killing) effect by themselves, in addition to summoning special blood cells which fight disease. But this procedure conflicts with chemicals that attack cancer cells directly.

Working with Ara-C (cytosine-arabinoside) a powerful and effective anti-cancer compound, Dr. Shearer has tested dose levels on cells grown in the laboratory and also treated with antibodies.

Using only tiny amounts of antibodies produced by other animal systems, together with a small fraction of the usual cell-killing dose of Ara-C, he produced better results in checking cell growth than larger amount of either treatment alone or in sequence.

Dr. Shearer attributes this "synergistic" effect to a reinforcement of chemical action against DNA, the genetic material that controls cell reproduction. Together, both forces deliver a heavier blow against the same target.

Treatment of cancer patients, utilizing this "formula" of combined minimum dose with maximum effect eventually can safely combine chemotherapy with immunotherapy for treatment of cancer.

Texas Department of Health Robert Bernstein, M.D., Commissioner

For the Week of June 7, 1980 Less fortunate children in Texas are getting a needed good start in life before they are born, so they won't be sick later — thanks to a nutrition program being administered by the Texas Department of Health (TDH).

The Supplemental Feeding Program for Women, Infants, and Children, simply called WIC, is operated by the TDH in 48 projects. The projects are run by local health agencies and two public health regions in 81 counties and represent about 76.6 percent of the statewide population. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Eligible recipients may include pregnant women, infants under one year old, and children up to their fifth birthday. Those who apply for WIC services get a health assessment by a nurse, doctor or nutritionist to see if they are "a nutritional risk." Program participants are given advice and counseling and specific food items free.

The foods are high in certain nutrients and are meant to supplement regular diets.

"Good nutrition is a critical factor for the proper mental and physical growth of children, both before they are born and after," says Ms. Catherine E. Litteer, TDH resident dietician with the WIC Program.

"The brain of a baby goes through important stages of development for a period starting at about two months before birth and lasting until about six months afterwards. If a fetus or infant is not given the proper nutrition during this time, it runs a greater risk of having fewer and smaller sized brain cells. Scientific research shows this can lead to mental retardation."

Ms. Litteer said that if a pregnant woman suffers from iron deficiency, so will het baby. "The fetus must draw its nutrients from the mother," explained Ms. Litteer, "and if the mother has a poor health status, the baby has a greater chance of being born premature.

Chances for survival are less with low-weight babies, their resistance to disease is low, and there is a greater chance for poor brain development and respiratory difficuties."

Ms. Litteer said many lowincome women and their children in Texas have an inadequate diet lacking protein, iron and vitamin C. To combat this, the WIC Program supplements their diets with milk, cheeses and eggs for protein; adds ironfortified cereals; and adds fruit juices for vitamin C.

"The iron gives healthy blood, the protein builds and repairs body cells, and the vitamin C fights disease and heals wounds," Ms. Litteer said. "Also, you could eat all the iron you want, but without the vitamin C, you couldn't metabolize it completely."

Ms. Litteer said a special pilot nutrition project conducted in 10 Texas clinics concluded that of a- sample

of 633 individuals seen initially for WIC certification, 16 percent of the 179 infants, 15 percent of the 246 children, 42 percent of the 167 pregnant women and 39 percent of the 41 postpartum women showed evidence of iron deficiency.

Also, more than 70 percent of 179 infants, over 85 percent of 246 children, and 93 percent of the 208 total women exhibited inade-

quate dietary patterns.

In the same pilot project, a comparison was made between the initial period and then six months later of those on the WIC Program.

For children ,,with an inadequate diet, there was a 43.5 percent improvement for infants, and a 6.6 percent improvement from one to five years of age. Children suffering from iron deficiency improved 50.3 percent up

to one year of age, and 5.8 percent for ages one to five.

Women suffering from inadequate diets improved 21.7 percent between 10 and 17 years of age, 18 percent between 18 and 36 years of age, and 14.8 percent for those over age 36.

Women with iron deficiencies ages 10 through 36 improved a total of 2.5 percent.
