SPECIAL THOUGHTS FOR ALL OF US...

Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder, To the faults of those about me, Let me praise a little more: Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery-Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for.

Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver, Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be; Let me be a little meeker With the brother who is weaker -Let me think more of my neighbor, And a little less of me.

Houston for the Czech play, however, we could not attend; certainly our loss.

Maybe next time! ***

Drawing up a will -- You have been urged many times to have a will and with good reason. Having a will drawn is a fairly easy thing to accomplish. A few pointers, however, may be most helpful before you prepare your will, if you do not have one and are contemplating on one.

It is not necessary that you list all your possessions, or even know how much you are worth. At any but an advanced age, it

is ordinarily not desirable to make distribution of specific personal property.

Barring unusual circumstances, your wife, children, or next of kin (e.g., mother, father, brother, sister, etc,) will be the primary beneficiaries with such contingent beneficiaries as you may designate.

Use these simple rules to guide you.

Both you and your wife should make wills. Specify that your executor can serve without bond. Sign only one copy of your will.

The more witnesses the better and they should be people who later can be reached easily. Keep the original signed copy in a secure place and advise your wife and executor where the will is kept.

Review your will periodically and make sure it still reflects your wishes. Be sure to change your will if family conditions change.

How to make a Will sometimes poses a problem. Uncertainty as to how to begin often is the cause of procrastination.

There are four simple steps to take: First, make a careful inventory of all you own. List all personal items, bank accounts, real estate, securities, bonds, life insurance, etc. Describe everything clearly.

Second, remember to list your heirs and any institutions you wish to name in your Will. Write opposite each what property or proportion of the total you wish that beneficiary to receive. Select your executor.

DEADLINE FOR MATERIAL TO BE ACCEPTED FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUE IS THURSDAY.

Third, see your attorney. (Laws differ in the various states). Tell him what you wish done. He will draw up a proper Will which will carry out your wishes. With the present complicated estate and inheritance tax laws, it is most important that you seek competent legal advise.

Fourth, after you have executed your Will, place it in a safe place and inform your executor of your action.

Those of you who had past experience will admit that it is usually less costly to have a Will than to try to do without one.

When there is no Will, an administrator appointed by the court (rather than an executor appointed by you) sees to the disposition of your property under the supervision of the court. The administrator has only limited powers and is put to expense in obtaining court orders authorizing specific action. He usually has to give surety bond and pay the premium for this bond. All these expenses must come out of your estate.

The cost of drawing a Will is often less than the premium on the surety bond necessary when there is no Will. An executor usually has broad powers (because he is someone in whom you have confidence) to handle your estate without obtaining court permission for each specific action. This saves both money and time.

* ** Isn't it true, how would life be without loyalty? Loyalty is known to be the finest fibre in the human breast, it awards alike the humble and the great, it makes the small man big and big men bigger.

The greatest thing in life is man's loyalty to man; loyalty to the`friend who protected him when his character was being assailed; that heart quality of true manhood--true fellowship--that innate stamp deal instead of the double-cross.

Loyalty to the friend who knows all about you and still loves you.

We need no law, no jury, or no judge to tell us when we are wrong.

We need but heed the instant signal from within to condemn a thought intention or an act that is not square.

The world's best definition of loyalty and honesty is engraved upon the heart of every man, and is ever retraced by each beating pulse.

The reward for loyalty "rind honesty is in the nobleness -of the act itself; the most bitter penalty-for its disregard is the insistent whispering of the soul.

The spring of 1621 brought sun and warm rains as well as more Indian Friends to the settlement of Pilgrims

Wednesday, November 19, 1980

among them Massasoit chief of the Indian tribe that inhabited the surrounding countryside. Able, at last, to plant a good crop of grains and vegetables, the Pilgrims reaped an autumn harvest so abundant that the governor of the colony, William Bradford, ordered a 3-day period of Thanksgiving.

Mindful of his favors, the colonists invited Chief Massasoit to join the feast.

They were dismayed when, on the appointed day, he appeared at the settlement with 90 members of his tribe, but the Indian chief was a discerning guest. He sent his best hunters into the woods and they returned with fat deer.

Meanwhile some of the colonists had gone hunting themselves and brought back wild game. Other colonists contributed seafood. With cornbread, leeks and plums, the Pilgrims and their Indian guests had plenty to eat.

At last the 3-day feasting was over, Governor Bradford took a look at the Colony's diminished food supply, but he had no real regrets. True, they would be short on rations before springtime, but he felt that Divine Providence had provided well for them and would again.

Such was the humble origin of America's first Thanksgiving. As the years and centuries have passed, Americans have constantly been given new reasons for being thankful. It is not only that today our harvests are large, so large we are able to feed the hungry all over the world; that we are citizens of a great nation.

Each of us, in this year of 1980, can search their own heart and mind and can write to those in distant lands what they feel to be chief among this country's blessings. In so doing they will speak a kind of truth which, at a time when America's prestige may very well be overshadowed, needs to be heard. Such thanks, spelled out in our letters to acquaintances abroad, can be a message of hope and reassurance.

Congratulations to all of you who made extra effort to make a sale for District V., your lodge and your SPJST. We are proud of you for your fine effort you made; keep up the good work for the remainder of the year. Sister Agnes

Lesak of Lodge 88 tried very hard to seek new members; Brother Sidon Tumis, Lodge 142, reached out and made his lodge grow by making sales and getting new members. We, in District V, want to say keep up the good work, we need team work; all work together to reach our quota that was set for us. With everyone's help, we can reach our goals, but all of us have to bind our hands together. representatives if you have not made a sale for your lodge how is your lodge going to grow if you, as a SR will not go out tend seek new members?

1980 should be history for the SPJST. Just think 1981 will be here very soon, so let's make this year an outstanding year.

You know of someone who needs your help. Please give them a helping hand by doing something special for your loved ones, friends, etc.

Thank you all for what you have written in the month of October and I hope to see many new names and present names on the report for November. At any time you need any assistance, please call and I will try to assist you. Please try to make a sale and help someone who needs your help.

Fraternally yours, Evelyn Mikeska, FIC D.V.S.R. -SPJST-

Afterwards, the visitors were recognized; namely, Brother Joe and Sister Estelle Hurtik of Lodge No. 180, Burleson; Annie May Hejl; Marylou Skrabanek; and Sister Ann Balusek of Lodge No. 15, Buckholts.

Sister Ginger Klusacek read the roll call of officers and sales representatives, and the minutes of the previous meeting held September 28th were read and approved.

Correspondence included: Mortuary dues from Supreme Lodge and a Christmas card from Vestnik Editor Brother Rudy J. Sefcik and his family.

The Investigating Committee approved the following for membership. The lodge voted to accept: William Joseph Tomecek, Jr., Matthew Landon Cheatham, Louis J. Kohutek (renewal), Eugene Hejl and Isabel G. Olivares.

Gary L. Tucker, Jr. took out a paidup certificate. Transfers to Lodge No. 87, Temple were Kenneth John Paysee and Sandra Lynn Paysee. A warm welcome to all of the new members.

On the sick list since the previous meeting were Brothers Joe V. Chlapek, Joe J. Dubcak and L.J. Motl and Sisters Mary Kohutek and Norma Mares. We are expressing get-well wishes to those named and to others we may not know about. Get well soon! I've just learned of Brother Jerry Chupik's hospitalization for surgery.

Officers' reports included: the president thanking Brother Alfred and Sister Martha Klusacek for helping decorate for two special dances; the treasurer's report, as well as the financial secretary's report. Then he called on the chairpersons' reports for October and thanked each for the help with the workload of operations of Seaton Star Hall.

The Audit Committee gave their quarterly report.

Wednesday, November 19, 1980 After it seemed like we (Jerry and I) were to take the bar and kitchen both, we couldn't handle the reservations for New Year's Eve, also. Therefore, Eugene and Annie May Hejl volunteered to sell the reservations. If you are making plans for the gala affair, call them at 817-983-3491.

Youth Leader Sister Shirley Patterson gave her report and told of plans of going caroling to a rest home in December; also, the parts for the Christmas program will be distributed real soon.

The youth program will begin at 4 p.m.

Sunday, December 14, 1980, complete with Santa Claus. Then "Happy Hour" from 5 p.m. up to the serving time of 6 p.m. The lodge will provide the roast turkeys, dressing and two vegetables, cranberry sauce, tea and coffee. Ladies are being asked to bring salads and sweets; desserts such as kolache, cakes, pies, etc. Help will be appreciated with the preparations Saturday and Sunday, both. This annual affair is for members of Lodge No. 47 and their immediate families (same household) only; so members, mark your calendar: Sunday, December 14, 1980.

The business of voting for changing the two-year rule limit failed; also, after the draft of the changes to the 1981 Rules and Regulations were distributed, we proceeded with the new business of electing the 1981 lodge officers. The Nominating Committee Chairperson Sister Emily Stuteville and Sister Evelyn fleese and Brother Dan Balusek, her helpers, conducted this part of the meeting. After most eligible for the office of president were nominated and declined, Brother Alfred Klusacek was elected by acclamation. Other officers, all elected by acclamation were: Brother Calvin Skrabanek, vice president; Sister Dolores Skrabanek, secretary; Sister Ruby Bolton, treasurer; Brother Willie Kohutek, financial-secretary; Brother Anton Motl, parliamentarian. The youth leader's position was not filled, so we are hoping there will be someone to volunteer for this important job.

Trustees elected were Brother Jerry Pechal, one, year term; and Brothers Alfred L. Klusacek and Robert F. Heese to three-year term. Czech reporter is Sister Annie Jakubec and the English reporter will be Sister Adeline Kohutek.

The Audit Committee member for three years elected was Brother J.D. Chlapek.

Congratulations to all elected to office and good luck for success. For the first time we didn't use any ballots and the Ballot Committee of Sisters Della Mares, Lillie Mikulas and Brother Bernie Gebala didn't have to put a name on paper. I know all elected will strive to do

a good job. Brother Sefcik, at last you will not have to put up with my scribbling. I feel I deserve a rest after so many years of reporting. I know Sister Adeline can do a good job because she is not new at reporting.

President Jerry Pechal and Brother Frank Maruna were the only members celebrating birthdays in November.

Wedding anniversaries being observed by couples in November were Brother Henry and Sister Della Mares, Brother Frank and Sister Elenora Spanhel, Brother Anton and Sister Julie Vitek, Brother Floyd and Sister Emily Stuteville, Brother Henry and Sister Helen Janacek.

LODGE NO. 92, FORT WORTH Dear Members and Friends, Where has 1980 slipped away? It seems unlikely there is only about a month and a half left. It has been a year of upsets in many respects; to name a couple, football and the national election.

Speaking of elections, our own for Lodge No. 92 will be held at the December 14 meeting. Because of balloting, the--meeting on this Sunday will begin one hour early; at 1 p.m. This usually proves to be a well-attended meeting and it should be!

Our November assemblj/ was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mary Cecelia Krivanek of the youth club.

We noted that the John Motls and the Rudolph Wrubles were present after an absence of several months.

Attention was directed to the new reflecting globe installed on the ceiling.

Board of Trustees of Lodge No. 24--Standing, L to R: E.J. Geistman, Johnny Svoboda, L.B. Haisler and Eugene Haisler. Seated: Milton Zavodny, LaVerne Cabla and Dan Hoelscher. (Editors note: We do not know what caused the blankout on part of the picture of Br. Dan Hoelscher; evidently the developing acid was playing tricks at the time.)

Part of the expense was met by a donation from the Ladies Circle.

Another appreciated gift was accepted from Inez Krivanek and is to be used for outside lighting. This offering was made in memory of her late husband, our financial secretary for many years.

Several members had been in the hospital and others due to enter soon.

Tommy Walker. Max Singer, Joe Baleja and Jeanelle Tatarevich in Fort Worth, and Joyce Whatly due surgery in Irving hospital. Emory Jaresh died in Sherman, Texas. He was a cousin of Annie Mae George.

Among the ever-increasing number of burglaries happening lately included three member families who were victimized. The Albert Kubalas lost a number of valuables but luckily most were recovered. Our Financial Secretary Evelyn Spacek's home was looted of TV sets and miscellaneous items including her supply of lodge pins. Lydia and Steve Matusevish were robbed at knife point at tlfeir home and lost only a small amount of cash, but suffered a frightening experience.

We were informed of several wedding anniversaries. It will be the 25th for Dr.

Wednesday, November 19, 1980 and Mrs. Bobbie Phillips of Weatherford on Nov. 23; the 16th for our hall managers, Frankie and Joyce Tesar on the day after Thanksgiving, and the Bill Lesikars will be celebrating their SOth Thanksgiving day. Congratulations to all.

Esta Belle Hubenak related that her daughter Katherine, son-in-law Johnny and their children Michael and Phyllis will be visiting soon in Fort Worth with her. Visiting and festivities seem to be accelerating with the upcoming holiday season, so please remember to reserve the evening of December 21st for the annual Christmas tree. Gordon Hubenak, our youth club leader, is counting on your child or grandchild to be a part of the program. He wants this year to have an old-fashioned family-type Christmas party with appropriate entertainment. Martha Durham is in charge of arrangements for decorations and refreshments; as before, home-made cookies will be needed and you know who makes those - all you Santa's helpers out there in your kitchens! Call Gordon or Martha for information if needed.

Please remember the December election meeting on the 14th for your vote is important. See you then.

Sincerely and Fraternally, Helen Paprskar

10 NEWS FROM LODGE NO. 88 Gone is the lovely night with Tommy Dorsey playing to a full house Saturday night, November 8. The hosting committee, Henry Kite in charge with wife, Adele; helping them were John and Bessie Vasula, Laster Zazze, Ruth Watkins, Wylie and Emily Guettner.

The four ladies were dressed in long gowns and their partners looked handsome too; they all blended in with the attending guests. It was an advance sale dance and the hosts were kept busy seating the guests at their tables.

Quite a few guests were from out-of-town; six couples occupied Table 43: Gilbert and Benita Waltzel, Jerry and Ethel Horak, Hajden and Merelyn Lews, all of Needville, Tx., Shirley and Madie Skinner of Rosenberg, Tx. and their friends of Houston, Marvin and Viola Russey.

The week before, at the Czech Day, there was a jolly group: Dennis Kubiak, of Taylor, Tx., Woody Smith and Jana Wainwright of College Station, Tx., Robert Ermis, David Otahal and Frank Kubena of Houston; they enjoyed the day, come back soon.

Sunday, November 9, 1980 the long-awaited Czech Play "Neni jako panstvo" was presented on our stage by the Hlahol Dramatic Club with terrific results. To point out individual actors would be unfair, because each one, in the cast that Sunday, was not an amateur, but a professional; the acting was great and the portrayal of characters was excellent. Thanks to director Sister Rose Sicner, and our one and only Sister Harriette Allison creating costumes and the professional make-up job for the ladies. The men's cast, also, was in good hands by our always-willing Brother Tim Ko glom. The stage was beautiful and arranged by Tim and Rosalee Kostom.

The furniture was supplied by the Hilsher Home Supply for which we are very thankful. Jan Schroif portrayed Alphons Drevo and, as usual, was excellent and was on the stage almost through the whole play. Amalie, his wife

by Miluse Kovanda, the first time on our stage, disposed of her part with flying colors. Lizinka, their daughter, by Marie Kostomlatsky (a short time in the USA) and already engaged in lodge activities.

Being beautiful as she is, she made a romantic couple with ,her fiance, Dr. Zdenek, (our devoted Gene Barcak).

This lovely couple finally convinced Lizinka's parents to consent to their engagement. The international imposter, Baron Von Blumendorf, played by Karel Sicner was excellent (maybe he is a Baron). His copartner in swindling the

VtSTNfK public, also first time on our stage, (Vera Cotrina as Pepi Sturcova) was beautiful and very convincing. To uncover the plot detective Joe Glanz by Jan Zemko was very good. Detective Sherlock Holmes was in the shadow and had nothing on Jan, who looked just like Holmes, but at solying a crime No Good! The dreamy poet had me puzzled I could not place him until I looked at the program, and there it was, unbelievable: the Czech instructor at the Houston University none ,other than William Souchek portraying Bronislav Velohorsky, the Poet. He was great and also on the stage for the first time at 88, and, last but not least, the household member, the maid, Marena in real life a blonde and transformed to a brunette, unrecognizable to friends was portrayed by Blanka Nedbalek, also the first time; with confidence, she disposed of her part well.

Impossible to point out one or the other, they all were great in acting and experience and each one deserved a special recognition. Thanks to all friends, members and guests who came out to see the performance.

Miss A. Houdek of Dallas came on the bus. Mr. Cervenka with his brother and wife of Dallas and the Newmans of Needville, Tx. I know there were many more out-of-town guests; to all we extend our thanks to honor us with their presence Sunday, November 9. To all who came to see this performance and not understanding the language, Thanks! We appreciate the support in preserving our heritage. The year is almost at the end, but I do hope the Hlahol will continue to present Czech and English plays in the years to come.

Our Czech Concert Orchestra, directed

by Rudy Dybala entertainbdethe guests for an hour before the ctittain opened; this was enjoyed by all present.

Monday, November 10, the regular monthly lodge meeting was held with a slim attendance. Sister Albina Hilsher was our guest as usual since she lives in Houston now. We missed Norval Crossman; Frances, his wife said he was in Boston on a business trip. Brother Frank Bohac was reported to be in the Heights Hospital; also Delores Prochazka, wife of Jerry Prochazka is confined in St. Luke's Hospital and spent several days in the intensive care unit. Best wishes to both for a healthy recovery.

Chairwoman of the Choral Club Evelyn Vornsand announced the participation of the Choral Club with the International Village Christmas Party in Schulenburg, Tx. December 6th under the direction of Tim Kostom. The Czech Concert Orchestra with Director Rudy Dybala and the Beseda Dancers under the

guidance of Youth Leader Mary Frances Wahlberg will also participate; remember December 6th.

All November birthdays were acknowledged with a"Happy Birthday song. We had a few wedding anniversaries; Amos and Della Kadlecek, 38; John and Frances Kadlecek, 42; Ed and Louise Kadlecek, 51; Bill and Marie (Kadlecek) Rezek, 46! (The Kadleceks had the month of November tied up.); Frank and Mary Tilich, 47; Joe and Anna Elzner, 51; the two following couples are young newlyweds: Richard and Mary Frances Wahlberg, 25; and Frank and LaVerne Siller, 12 years.

less-expensive rabbit coats, is much less durable and promotes shedding.

Fit A rabbit coat should not fit snugly. The garment will not "give" with body movement, and the pelt is likely to rip with very little stress, Miss Rhoades cautions.

To help control stress on the fur, select a coat with quality lining.

Read Label Check the label to determine if the fur is real or fake. Government regulations require proper labeling of furs, including identification of dye process used.

Wearability Rabbit coats, like any fur, will provide warmth for the wearer.

However, since rabbit is not very durable, select the fur as a special-occasion coat, she recommends.

If worn frequently, as a school or work coat, the garment will not last very long.

Also, intended use should help determine what quality to select.

More durable coats will generally cost more, but, since all rabbit sheds, no rabbit coat will last many seasons.

A lower-quality coat may suit the growing teenager that might outgrow a coat before wearing it out. However, an active teenager may need a more durable garment to last even one season.

Also, keep in mind that rabbit is currently a fashion fad, and while fur is a classic coat fabric, rabbit may loose popularity next year.

When wearing rabbit, treat it carefully, Miss Rhoades advises.

Avoid wearing a shoulder bag or other items which cause friction against the coat. This promotes shedding.

Also, avoid contact with water.

Moisture causes the fur to fall out.

Storage Do not store the fur in a plastic bag which can trap moisture inside.

Store in a cloth bag, she recommends.

In high-humidity climates, professional storage in a controlled environment is recommended.

Have the garment professionally cleaned by a reputable furrier or dry cleaners who specialize in care of furs, she adds.

18 'NO:' AN IMPORTANT WORD "No" has a special place in people-to-people communications, for those who know how to use the word effectively, says a family life education specialist, Dorthy Taylor.

"The 'terrible' two-year-old often gets credit for saying `no, no, no.' But all ages - children and adults - use the word frequently, and oftentimes out of habit," the specialist notes. "'No' need not be a harsh word, but it should be definite, clear and firmly based on the conviction that you mean it," Ms. Taylor says.

"In dealing with young children, especially, it must appear to be unchangeable," she adds.

Ms. Taylor is on the home economics staff of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A and M University System. the specialist "No" reinforces says.

"In setting limits, though, you have to know what the limits are before you can enforce them.

"On the other hand, being over-permissive (without limits or having total freedom) and never saying `no' is confusing to others--they don't know where you stand. As a result, the `never-say-no' person lacks authority and respect," Ms. Taylor explains.

Saying "no" need not threaten friendships, love relations or parental authority, the specialist assures. Yet this doesn't mean to over-use the word, either. Nagging, negative attitudes about everything or using "no" just to be "different" is misusing the word "no" she adds.

Actually, "no" is a guidepost signaling that some other outlet is more appropriate at that given time. The negative, "no," is positive when it's used for guidance in limit-setting, safety or for correcting inappropriate behavior, the specialist says.

"No" is appropriate to use with all ages and all levels of relationships, Ms. Taylor adds, but never say "no!" unless you mean it.

FOOD COSTS -- FOCUS ON MEAT DOLLAR Meat -- a mainstay of the American diet -- commands a large portion of the food dollar, so focus on your meat dollar to cut food costs, advises Marilyn Haggard, a foods and nutrition specialist.

A key in buying meat is the "cost per serving," she says. Ms. Haggard is on CUT

the home economics staff of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System.

Because some cuts of meat have more bone and fat waste than others, "price per pound" is not a true guide to the cost per serving," she explains.

Remember, three ounces of lean, cooked meat is considered a standard adult serving.

COST PER SERVING Diffeeent cuts of meat yield different numbers of servings, so you must have some "basic yields" in mind when you shop.

In other words, you must know how many servings a pound of a particular cut of meat will yield. Once you know that, then look at the price per pound.

Only THEN will you know the price per serving.

It may sound complicated, but it's all very simple once you understand it.

Here are some examples to illustrate how simple it is: First, look at a pound of ground meat.

That particular cut (ground meat) yields four servings per pound. If the ground meat costs one dollar per pound, then each of the four servings will cost 25 cents.

Now look at ribs -- ribs only yield one and a half servings per pound.

What if they only cost 75 cents per pound? They seem cheaper than ground meat, since the price is lower per pound, don't they? But remember, they only provide one and half servings for each pound you buy -- so the price per serving is about 50 cents.

That translates another way -- the ribs cost twice as much per serving as the ground beef, even though their price "per pound" is lower.

Remember, it all depends on how much you get from each pound -- so be sure to figure the "cost per serving."

Here are some guidelines on a few cuts of meat and their yields: 1) Boneless meats generally yield three to four servings per pound. These include ground beef, flank steak, round steak, stew meat and liver., 2) Meats with the bone in general yield two to three servings per pound.

These include most roasts and steaks.

3) Meats with considerable bone and fat provide only one to two servings per pound.

These include spare ribs, short ribs, porterhouse steaks and T-bone steaks.

MORE COST-CUTTING IDEAS Here are some other cost-cutting ideas: BUY SPECIALS -- These can be great bargains if you have the freezer space to store them properly.

Meats can be stored in the freezer in the original packaging for up to several weeks.

For a long storage, overwrap in moisture-vapor resistant plastic or paper to prevent moisture and flavor loss.

USE LESS-TENDER, LIGHT DEMAND CUTS -- These are cuts that people don't care to buy as often as other cuts.

These are usually lower in cost, but they offer good nutrition and great flavor.

Remember, long, slow cooking will tenderize any cut.

BUY 'QUICK SALE' CUTS -- Cuts marked down for a "quick sale" are a good investment.

These cuts will generally have a brown color. This does not affect the flavor of safety of the meat. Use these cuts quickly -- or freeze them immediately for use later.

FIELD DRESSING CRITICAL TO SUCCESSFUL DEER HUNT (Editor's Note: This is the last in a series oriented to deer hunters.)

Stalking and shooting a prize buck (or doe) is a big part of the challenge deer hunting offers sportsmen. But there's a lot more to it than just "aim and shoot."

For the beginning or inexperienced hunter, the sequence of events occurring immediately after the kill can well mean the difference between taking home a handsome wall mount or returning with a severely butchered-up carcass and perhaps little else to show for the effort.

Yet, performing this critical function correctly isn't as complicated as one might tend to assume, says Dr. Dwight Guynn, Texas Agricultural Extension Service wildlife specialist headquartered in Uvalde.

After the deer has been killed, promptly tag and prepare it for field dressing by propping the animal on its back, using rocks or other available objects.

The initial step, according to Guynn, is to remove external sex organs with sharp knife. Next, cut down to the pelvic bone. Turning the knife blade up, use your other hand to hold the belly away from the intestinal organs and cut up to the breastbone.

However, avoid cutting the skin any further forward than the middle of the breastbone if the head is to be mounted, Guynn stresses.

Continuing the process, hold intestines to one side while cutting the

Hanging deer after field dressing is completed. Dotted lines around inside of legs indicate where cuts can be made for skinning. thin layer of muscle, or diaphragm, which separates the intestines from the chest area. Reach into the rib cage and cut loose the windpipe and esophagus, as far forward as possible. Grasp thei windpipe and esophagus with both hands, pulling those organs out. The intestines can now be pulled free of the pelvic region.

Next, Guynn says to cut the skin and muscles around the anus, being careful not to puncture the bladder..

Then pull the intestine forward and free of the carcass.

Full length cut method of field dressing.

The end result. Buck is field dressed, skinned and hung to cool.

In these few short minutes, the hunting cycle is complete. The animal has been shot and field dressed and is ready to be hung to cool.

Since the skin can be removed much easier while the carcass is still warm, you may want to consider skinning the animal soon after field dressing.

If the head is to be mounted, Guynn suggests hanging the animal by its hind legs and skinning from the hind legs downward. You may want to consult a local taxidermist on the best method for skinning the head and neck of your trophy.

Guynn advises leaving the skin of cuts forward of the front legs so the taxidermist will have enough hide to make a good mount. He says it's also a good idea to salt or freeze the head and skin until it is delivered for mounting.

But if the head is not to be mounted, hang the carcass by its head and skin it from the neck downward. The Texas.

A&M University System specialist says the hide is easier to remove in this position. Next, cut the skin loose from around the neck, around the legs and down the inside of each leg. Grasp the

skin in back of the head and pull down firmly with both hands.

Finally, hang the skinned carcass by its hind legs in shade to cool and age. If hung outside, use a protective covering to keep insects off the carcass.

The carcass can now be cut to preference or it can be commercially processed.

Handling techniques after the kill will greatly influence final meat quality.

Guynn strongly encourages field dressing the animal soon after being shot and hanging the carcass so it will cool thoroughly. He says skinning the animal soon after field dressing seems to enhance meat quality slightly. But if the animal must be transported or aged before processing, it's best to leave the skin intact to prevent the outer surface from drying out.

Texas white-tailed deer season opens at daylight Nov. 15 and closes, in most counties, at sundown on Jan 4. Good hunting!

FARM AND

CITY WEEK FOCUS ON "PARTNERS IN PROGRESS"

This year's Farm-City Week focuses on farm and city people together as partners in progress as the key to the future.

Farm-City Week, Nov. 21-27, is sponsored by the Farm-City Council and Kiwanis International.

"Farm and city people depend on each other for products and services that are essential to modern business and living," points out Dr. Carl Anderson, economist in marketing with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System. "One group can't live without the other. Together they make the best food and fiber team in the world."

A basic ingredient for the economic, political and social success of a country is a highly productive agricultural base, believes Anderson. This gives a country the capacity to not only feed its own people but also to export for economic gain as well as for humanitarian puiposes.

One U.S. farm worker now produces enought food for some 45 people at home and another 25 overseas," says the economist. "At the turn of the century, one American farm worker could feed only seven people."

A dozen eggs, a sack of potatoes, a slab of bacon, a steak, a chilled fresh fryer, a carton of milk and hundreds of other items can be bought at almost any time and at a comparatively reasonable

cost -- reasonable, that is, compared with the cost of most other things.

"While the overall cost of living has advanced 13 percent from a year ago, food prices in the grocery store have increased less than 10 percent," Anderson explains.

"Americans, on average, spend 17 percent of their income on food compared to 45 percent for people in Russia."

One out of every 25 Texans is a farmer or a rancher, yet 30 percent of the state's retail trade business is directly associated with agricultural production and selling of food and fiber products. Thousands of businesses are active in food and fiber production, transportation, processing, packaging, storing, advertising, distribution and other activities associated with feeding, clothing and, to some extent, housing people, notes the economist.

"In Texas, movement of food and fiber from field to factory to the family table furnishes jobs and income for about a fourth of the working force," points out Anderson.

The future for continued growth in Texas agriculture is bright, he believes.

Demand for food and fiber from countries overseas is growing. And, with good export facilities, the state's agricultural industry is ready to expand its share of the export market. This means more jobs and income for both rural and urban residents.

"No doubt, agriculture makes a large contribution to the Texas' affluence.

Because quality food is available at reasonable prices, a large part of our income is available to buy other things," notes Andersont 401 1 k atit, -SPJST-

Přesto, že bylo pěkné počasí, byla jsem překvapena, jak měli velikou návštěvu. Nelitovala jsem toho iteb jsem byla mile překvapena, a musim Jenom řici že jsem byla též velmi potěšená, jak krásně ti houstonští ochotníci dovedou hráti a doufám že to

ViSTNht budou opakovati neb bych ráda šla podruhé.

Všichni co hráli, bylo viděti, že jsou to herci ze staré vlasti neb mluvili velmi dobře moravsky, jak moji stařičci mluvívali. Chci jím tímto poděkovati za pěkné odpoledne a krásné divadlo.

Pozdravuje, Vlasta Kovářova z Victorie.

Kroužek českých žen v Dallasu Podzim v Texasu znamená dlouhé loučení s létem, teplé slunečné dny s bezmračnou, modrou oblohou. Takový byl minulý čtvrtek.

S1 členek se sešlo ke schůzi a dalo slib vlajce. Sestra M. Malooly ozdobila hlavní stůl barvami podzimu. Má skutečné nadání seskupit barvy a věci velmi vkusně ke každé příležitosti.

Sestra Zvolánek vítá členky i hosta L. Stout, která už je jedna z nás. Dlouho nepřítomné byly sestry: A. Janečka, M. Voss, M. Dušek, L. Drzewicki, L. Dirks a H. Ground. Pánové, bez nichž by nebyl Kroužek !iPlný, byli; Zvolánek, Janečka, Ground, Rezník, Kartous a Skoták. Po přečtení zápisu a vyřlzení záležitostí Kroužku, čte L. Pavelka v poště došlý vánoční pozdrav z Cal Farley's domova pro chlapce v Amarillo, Texas. Jsou tam obrázky usměvavých obličejů šťastných chlapců, kterým Cal Farley's domov usměrnil život vhodným učením a zájmem o ně. Každá maličkost věnovaná ústavu má velký cíl - podchytit mládež, jejiž budoucnost je povinností nás všech.

Na lístku nemocných je Frank Henzen, který je zpět v nemocnici. Jeho matka sestra H. Hamusek volala Rosie Kopecek a posílá pozdrav Kroužku. Před 20 léty založil Frank Henzen pěvecký spolek, který už bohužel sám vésti nemůže. Ve schůzi 2. listopadu v Lodge 84 byl odměněn plaketou - dík to za snahu zachovati českou píseň; plaketu převzal jeho syn. Díky Frank Henzen - písnička bude žít. Pěvecký spolek chce pokračovat a hledá zpěváky. Přijďte do schůze, kteří rádi zpívate v neděli 16. listopadu ve 4:30 odpoledne.

Sestra A. Skrabánek je doma z nemocnice, také C. Kebrle opustila nemocnici a je zpět v nursing home.

Annie Brown už přišla do schůze po nemoci. Frank Kankrlík je doma a velmi pomalu se zotavuje. F. Pokladník měla operaci 6. listopadu a zotavuje se v Baylor nemocnici. Mnoho pozdravů Vám všem a brzské uzdravení. Sestra Slovák je prababičkou už po sedmé.

Sestra Šebestík hlásí, že zájezd do Houstonu byl odvolán pro nedostatečný počet zájemců. Dopis byl poslán sestrou Zvolánek.

Vánoční zábava Kroužku je ve čtvrtek 4. prosince v Northlake Shopping Center ve Wyatt's cafeteria. Po krátké schůzi bude malý program a rozdávání dárků.

Přineste dárek alespoň za $2. - a dejte své jméno do balíčku. D. Rezník přinese české i anglické vánoční písně a zazpíváme si.

I kdyi" posledni Zeyerova dila silne poznamenlva naboienska mystika, pfesto take pro ne stale plati charakteristika, kterou Zeyerovo snaieni vystihl znamY novinaf a literarni kritik Julius Fuelk: "Jde stale za svou touhou po svete uglechtilem, krasnern a dobrem, v nenl.z by nebylo kfivdeno ani lidem ani naroddm."

Zda se, ie prave v tomto smyslu eeka komplikovane Zeyerovo dilo dosed na sve oceneni, ze jeho Cas teprve pfijde.

Dfikazem toho je napfiklad dilo Jaroslava Vrchlickeho (1853-1912), ale take romany, novely, dramata a poezie Julia Zeyera.

prozy alespori "Roman o vernem pfatelstvi Amise a Amila" (1880), taici ze starofrancouzske legendy, a roman "GompaCi a Komurasaki" (1884) z prostiedi japonskeho. Z epickYch del je nejvYznamneigi "Karolinska epopeja" (1896), parafrazujici starofrancouzske narodni zpevy z 11. a 13. stoleti, a "kruh epickych basni" Vy gehrad" (1880), vyrfistajici ze starch CeskYch povesti.

26 Josef Goefir VYroCi bYvaji Cast째 pfilaitosti ke vzpominkam. K to dnegni nas pfimela skuteenost, ze od narozeni jednoho z nejosobitejgich a nejsveraznagich pfedstavitela Ceskoslovenske architektonicke tvorby, vynikajiciho eeskeho architekta Josef Goara uplyne 13. bfezna 1980 pinYch sto let.

Kdykoliv se setkame s GoCarovYmi dily, upoutaji nas svou vysokou vYtvarnou arovni, dokonalym a vidy originalnim feknim a jasnYm citenim proporci. Josef GoCar nalezl svou vlastni cestu. Nikdy Vsak na ni nezastal scat. VIely pathl mezi ty tvitrei osobnosti, ktefi maji odvahu opustit dosaiene vYsledky, zaruCujici aspech a uznani, a vydat se dal, hledat a nalezat dalk a nove moinosti pro vyjadfeni svYch nazorii a postoja. Prokl tak za pomerne kratkou dobu mnohotvarnYm vkvojem - od kubismu pies obloukovY dekoratismus i konstruktivismus az po purismus, a zanechal za sebou obrovskY kus vykonane prace.

A jak lope vzpomenout na tohoto vYznamneho Ceskeho umelce neI tim, *dame slovo jeho ifikem a pokraCovatelam a Ze jeho dilo k nam promluvi alespon prostfednictvim nekolika fotografii.

Architekt Adolf Benei, jeden z prvnich Zahn Josefa Galan: "Josef Goear byl z tech tvarca, ktefi pro umeni celYm svYm Iivotem, ktefi jsou zcela zaujati svYmi mykenkami, svYmi koncepcemi. Ke kreslicimu prknu sedal tehdy, kdyi byla aloha jiz zasadne hotova, kdyi byla umelecky rozhodnuta.

Mluvil-li o praci kritizoval-li nejakY nazor nebo hotove dilo, civil tak Vidy s jakYmsi vnitfnim iarem, s. opravdovou snahou pochopit jadro myKlenky. A byla-li to mykenka plodna a opravdu tviirei, vfele ji pfijal..."

Tolik tedy ze vzpominek na vynikajici tvurci osobnost, v jejimi dile se odraii celY umelecky vkvoj architektury prvni poloviny dvacateho stoleti. Vedle lady vYznamYch nfivrha na vefejne budovy vzniklo zasluhou Josefa Goara take mnoho obdivuhodnYch rodinnYch dom. kii, pomnika, schod ge i sousoii.

Esteticke vztahy si ovefoval rovnei pfi zafizovani obytnYch prostor. Snail se pfi torn vidy uvest v soulad funkci estetickou i uiitkovou a ozdravet i.provzdugnit interier.

Po ureitou dobu vydaval take vlastni easopis - "UmeleckY mesienik", a jeke ani ne tficetiletY zalozil sdruieni pro umelecky prilmysl a nabytek. Jeho navrhy nabytku jsou obdivovany navKtevniky vYstav i v zahraniei, kam je

praiske Umelecko-prumyslove muzeum zapajeuje.

Josef Goar pfedstavuje tedy ojedinelY typ architekta-projektanta mimofadne tvurci kapacity, kterY sviij krasnY plodnY iivot ve svrchovane mire napinil praci.

SvYm mnohotvarnym dilem dal mnoho svemu narodu a velkYm podilem pfispel k vYvoji moderni architektury. Jeho let(igni ste narozeniny byly proto pravem zafazeny mezi vYroCi UNESCO. Ctvrt stoleti Ustavu jaderneho vyzkumu Ctvrt stoleti uplynulo od zaloieni Ustavu jaderneho vyzkumu v Rezi u Prahy, kterY je soueasti vedeckovYzkumne zakladny ureene k mirovemu vydivani jaderne energie v e eskoslovensku.

Vznik tistavu v roce 1955 umoinila sovetska pomoc pfi budovani stfediska .jaderneho vyzkumu, pfi dodavkach zakladniho zafizeni a pfi vyikoleni odbornika.

Pilvodnim poslanim astavu, kterY navazoval na Cinnost Laboratofe nuklearni fyziky Ceskoslovenske akademie ved, byl vYzkum v oborech jaderne fyziky a energetiky, radiochemie, dale pak vYroba radioizotopii a slouCenin znaeenYch radionuklidy a jejich aplikace, vydavani vedeckYch publikaci a rychle zavideni vYsledkil vyzkumu do praxe.

S rozvojem Ceskoslovenske jaderne energetiky a techniky se stale vice projevovala potfeba vyuiit vYsledky prace Ustavu jaderneho vyzkumu k fekni nekterYch akoln v ramci spoluprace zemi Rady vzajemne hospodafske einnosti, pfedevkm se SovetskYm svazem. ProAbyl ustav pfeveden v roce 19724apisobnosti Ceskoslovenske akaderote,, ved do pasobnosti Ceskoslovenske komise pro atomovou energii. Tato organizaeni zmena se projevila pfedev gim v pfestavbe vYzkumneho a vYvojoveho programu tak, aby zajik'oval plan vYstavby jadernYch elektraren a jinYch jadernYch zafizeni v CSSR a podilel se na spolupraci zemi Rady vzajemne hospodafske pomoci v teto rozsahle vedeckotechnicke oblasti.

Krome toho vyrabi Ustav jaderneho vyzkumu v Aeli pro vnitfni eeskoslovenskou spotfebu i na vYvoz radionuklidy, radiofarmaka a germaniove polovodiCove detektory. Poskytuje take sluiby vedeckYm, zdravotnickYm, pramyslovYm a dalKim institucim, napf. pfi aktivaeni analyze a ozafovani zdroji zafeni gama.

Nyni se soustfed'uje pozornost rovna na oblast jaderne energetiky, na vyu'ziti ionizaeniho zafeni a na prognostickou, koncepeni, koordinaeni a informaeni

Cinnost v oboru jaderne energetiky a techniky. Sem patfi i fekni systemovYch otazek jaderne bezpeenosti.

V letech 1981-1995 (tedy v obdobi 7. ai 9. petiletky) bude vychazet ((stair z rozvoje Ceskoslovenske jaderne energetiky a techniky, ze spoleenych vedeckovyzkumnych praci zemi Rady vzajemne hospodafske pomoci i z rozmachu Ceskoslovenske vedecke a v_yzkumne zakladny v techto oborech.

Ustav se zamefi na prace dlouhodobeho studijniho charakteru, na aplikovanY qzkum, na vytfiiti ionizujiciho zafeni a na servisni Cinnost pro jine Ceskoslovenske nebo i zahranieni instituce.

Tiskova agentura ORBIS Slitma do krmnych smesi Prototyp zafizeni na fyzikalne chemickou apravu slamy k vOive hospodafskYch zvifat vyvinuli pracovnici Agroprojektu v severomorayskem Gottwaldove. Zafizeni, ovefovane v nekolika zemedelskYch druistvech, zpracuje a upravi za osmihodinovou smenu d ye ai tfi tuny slamy.

Slama se rozseka, rozmelni a potom louhuje. Tato technologie pfiznive ovliviiuje proces zaiivani; sniiuje take obsah teiko stravitelnYch sloiek krmiva.

Prvni provozni a veterinarni pokusy a testy prokazaly, ze se rovnei sniZuje hladina kyselosti gt'av v travicim astroji skotu. Pokus v delce 42 dna, jemuZ pfedchazelo 14 denni tzv. navykaci obdobi, rovna prokazal, ze zvifata stravi vice krmiva a nezastava tolik zbytka; i toto zjikeni svedei o chutnosti nove krmne smesi. Ve gimu pfijrnu krmiva odpovida temef o 12 procent vy'cgi pramernY denni pfirtistek u bYeka.

Podobne vYsledky zaznamenali zootechnici a veterinafi u dojnic. ZvYgenY pfijem krmiva se pfiznive projevil v jejich dlitkovosti: dojivost se zvYkla v prameru o 0,67 litru denne.

Dosavadni zku g enosti potvrdily, vhodne vyuziti louhovane slamy zavisi pfedev g im na zpasobu jeji sklizne, spravnem zafazovani do odpovidajicich typii krmnYch smesi a jejich dokonalem strojnim promichavani. V gottwaldovskein Agropodniku zahajuji vyrobu dalkch peti techto zafizeni, aby byly ziskany zkuknosti pro seriovou vYrobu.
