Members from the Czech Heritage Society of Texas will make a presentation and have researched data available to help persons working on their Czech family histories. This information will include Czech immigrant passenger lists, villages of origin or places of birth of our Czech immigrant ancestors, maps showing location of their origin, and much other data relating to your ancestors from the provinces of Cechy (Bohemia) and Moravia, in present day Czechoslovakia, formerly part of Austria. Data will also be available on the Czechs in the Censuses of 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900 here in Texas for those counties where the pioneer Czech families settled, as well as church records.

There will be a small registration fee of $1 to cover some expenses. This will be an excellent opportunity for those of you who have started researching your Czech ancestry to quickly learn "how to do it" and to get past road blocks you may already have encountered.

Sandwiches and drinks will be served from noon to 4 p.m.

For more information, contact Victor A. Peter or Raymond Skrabanek.

Thought for the Day Frustration is not having anyone to blame but yourself." *** ATTENTION to all correspondents and lodge reporters: Do not send your articles for printing and publishing in the Vestnik to Box 100, Temple; this delays your mail because the Supreme Lodge has to forward the letters to West. SEND THEM TO: BOX 85, WEST, TEXAS 76691. PLEASE GET THE ZIP CODE CORRECT! *** The back page of this issue of Vestnik contains the names of SPJST sales representatives who attended the sales seminars held in Bryan and Brenham (District I) by SFM Silas Smith, recently. Their pictures appeared on the front page and page 4 of last week's issue. The pictures were in color and some had very poor contrast.

Members, remember that if you have a poor contrast between the background and the object you are photographing, all will develop nearly the same color and red and black (even dark blue) all come out black on black and white reproduction for printing or publishing. KEEP THAT IN MIND AT ALL TIMES. *** March 23rd is designated for the CESAT annual conference meeting at Lodge Praha No. 29 at Taylor, beginning at 10 a.m. The CESAT known as Czech Ex - Students and Teachers Association of Texas meets annually to preserve the Czech language and culture, plus plan interesting activities for students on school and college levels. We encourage you to attend and support this worthy project In the afternoon beginning at 1 p.m., the Czech Club of the University of Texas in Austin will occupy the remainder of the day's activities for your enjoyment.

Great gains have been made in the prevention of blindness. But much depends upon recognizing and treating eye problems in their early stages. To help people check their vision, the National Society to Prevent Blindness has produced a home eye test for adults. Although the test is not diagnostic, it offers a means of screening for central, near and far vision. The test is available for $1 through: National Society to Prevent Blindness, 79 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10016.

Planning a funeral can be an emotionally difficult task for a surviving family, and it also can be costly. The average funeral costs $2,400, plus cemetery expenses. But costs can be held down without . giving up dignity, says the Council of Better Business Bureaus. The casket, outer burial container and grave marker need not be the most expensive.

Services can be held at graveside rather than in the funeral home. Or memorial services can be held elsewhere. Burial can be during the week rather than on a weekend, which is usually more expensive. Cremation or donation of the body to a medical school may be considered. *** A typewriter disappears from an office, and the owner runs an advertisement in the local newspaper offering a reward for the machine's return. Are the ad and reward deductible from the owner's taxable income? Yes, according to a ruling by the IRS. As long as the reward is paid for return of property connected with your trade or business, both the reward and the ad are fully deductible as business expenses. *** Pertaining to Internal Revenue Service regulations, the holder of an individual retirement account (IRA) may deduct on his or her tax return the fees paid to the lending institution, brokerage or other trustee. To qualify, the fee must be billed and paid separately. *** If you plan to claim a tax deduction for casualty losses or thefts, remember: Each loss must first be reduced by $100 before you start figuring. Total claims for the year are deductible only to the extent they exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income. *** The boom in videocassette recorders also has brought a boom in video clubs. But how do you select the one that's best for you?

Size is a key factor in choosing a club from which to buy or rent VCR tapes. Larger clubs will usually have a larger selection, but this needs to be considered along with a number of other aspects.

Chances are you will be picking up and returning a large number of tapes.

Joining a club that is close to our home or office -- or on your commuting route -- can save a lot of time and trouble.

How long has the club been in business? Do present members give it a good rating? Check among your VCR - owning neighbors and co - workers to see whether they have a recommendation.

What is the initial membership fee and are there any special deals? How much does the club charge for the first day's rental? For longer periods? Is there a special weekend rate? How many tapes can you rent at one time?

Are there cut - rate - purchase offers on used tapes?

Does the club offer a wide choice of movies and other tapes in the format -VHS or Beta -- that you need? Check the shelves to see if everything in the catalogs is really available. Also note whether tapes are systematically arranged so that you can save shopping time.

If the club allows rentals at higher prices to nonmembers, as many do, you may want to try this. It will give you an idea of the service available without a long - term agreement.

District VI Meeting Agenda

Thank You, District V Dear Members: I have just finished four years of being your district president, and I have many to thank for helping to make them pleasant ones. First of all, I want to thank the district officers and the officers and members of the host lodges for the meetings for their fine cooperation. I want to thank all of you who helped with food preparation and setting up for the meetings.

I am deeply grateful to Director Tim Kostom and the Lodge 88 Choral Club and to Director Rudy Dybala and Lodge 88 Czech Concert Orchestra for always performing so willingly. You surely enriched our meetings and helped to improve our attendance! In the four years, not once did you say "No" when I asked you.

I can say the same for our super vocalist Helen Hegwood and pianist Naomi Spencer. Your . beautiful renditions of "Kde Domov Muj" and "Star Spangled Banner" added so much to our meetings.

Our two Family Days were quite a success! Many thanks to the actresses and actors who performed so, capably in the comical dialogues, to all who had charge of the beautiful displays, to all who brought so many beautiful items for the displays, and to all who helped with the dinner, including the donors of the good food.

I also want to thank all you faithful writers to the Vestnik who wrote about the meetings. You helped to spread the word, and that helped our attendance a_t the meetings.

We had a nice meeting at Lodge 172 Pasadena, and I want to thank President Albert Risinger, the officers and the members for hosting it. There was good attendance, but I missed 4 faithful and very , active members for many years: Sisters Frances Olexa, Mary Matcek, Birdie Pech and Brother Joe Skrabanek.

I want to thank those of you who suggested to me that the district Rules and Regulations be set aside and I run again. I really felt that four years was enough and that it was time to give someone else a chance! I wish all the elected officers good luck and especially great cooperation and help from all of the members.

Fraternally yours, Tillie Helmc,amp

Lodge 54 Holds Informative Meeting The first quarterly meeting of Lodge 54, West was held Sunday, March 10, 1985. President Rudy Sefcik convened the meeting at 2 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Jennifer Kocian, youth.

A moment of silence was observed for our departed Brother William A. Busby who died December 27, 1984.

Also remembered were all brothers and sisters of the lodge who have departed previously.

President Sefcik welcomed our visitors Brother Rudolph Zalman from Lodge 35, Elk and Brother Raymond Matus from Lodge 6, Cottonwood.

We are always very happy to have our fraternal brothers and sisters join us.

Roll call of officers was held by Secretary Emery. All were present with the exception of Youth Leader Mona Zahirniak.

Secretary Anne Emery read items of correspondence and the minutes of the 4th quarterly meeting of 1984. These were approved as read.

Treasurer Freddie Kaluza gave a report of the hall account which was approved as read.

The insurance account was given by Financial Secretary Maxine Sefcik; it was approved as read.

Our lodge has gained the following new members during this quarter; namely, Richard D. Bailey, Jr., Roger Warren Galle, David A. Kolar, Royce Dean Massirer, John Joseph Skerik (adults), and Linsay Noel Kolar (youth). A JT conversion was issued on Kelly Jo Kolacek who is now an adult of our lodge; insurance was increased for Justin Heath Kaluza and Shawn Aaron Kaluza. We are very happy to have these new members in our lodge family and we wish to thank our active sales representatives, Brothers Edmund Marek, Ervin Pustejovsky and Rudy Sefcik. We had a decrease of five members; one by death, one transferred out, two cancellations, and one withdrawal.

Sister Beanie Kacir reported on the members' fraternal activities which are not quite complete. If any of you members have anymore hours of community involvement or work in charitable areas, please report these to Sister Beanie Kacir. This is most important because it justifies the lodge's tax exemptions and other areas of special treatment.

President Sefcik asked Sister Beanie Kacir to make a report on the Audit Committee because she had to leave earier to attend another function. She reported that the Audit Committee met and an audit of all financial records showed them to be in order.

It was reported that Sister Lillian Borgeson of Dallas received her 50 year membership pin. This was mailed to her by the Supreme Lodge.

A vote was held on whether we should change to direct billing from the Supreme Lodge or keep our local billing. It was unanimously voted on that we would continue billing, locally.

The motion carried.

Jennifer Kocian drew for the door prize which was won by President Rudy Sefcik.

The meeting adjourned and everyone enjoyed fellowship and refreshments. Our next meeting is scheduled for June 2 at 2 p.m. because the regular date of our lodge meeting is rented for RVOS Ross Family Day. We encourage our members to attend these meetings and take part in the activities of the lodge.

Fraternally, Anne Emery English Reporter -SPJST-

Cameron Lodge 72 Meeting Dear Members: Lodge 72, Cameron will have its quarterly meeting Tuesday, April 16, 1985 at Sister Christine Slavik's residence, beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Fraternally, Katherine Bedrich Secretary -SPJST-

Lodge 74 Has Two New Officers Dear Members: We held our monthly meeting March 10, 1985 and there were fourteen members present.

The meeting was called to order at 3 p.m. President Wilcox led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a silent prayer for our sick members.

Recording Secretary Creola Wilcox read the minutes. A motion was made and carried to accept her report.

Treasurer Mary McInnis gave her report; the motion was made and carried to accept her report.

Financial Secretary Marie Wright presented her report and a motion was made and carried to also accept her report.

Assistant Youth Leader Sherry McKinney gave the youth club report and a motion was made and carried to accept her report.

Next, new business was discussed.

The president told us that two officers had resigned; they were Youth Leader Linda Michka and Chester Shmoldas, trustee. We voted to replace Linda Michka who resigned "because of sickness" with Sherry McKinney. We hope Linda will get well soon; we sure do miss her. She has done a wonderful job with our children. Thank you, Sherry, for being there for us. Next, we voted to replace Chester Shmoldas with Mary McInnis for trustee.

Chester did say he will take care of the grounds for the lodge. Thank you, Chester; you sure keep the grounds pretty.

The next thing, we voted in three new adult members and five youth members.

It was voted on to hold our monthly meeting the second' Monday night of the month at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be held April 8, 1985.

The lodge will be closed April 20, 1985 (that night only).

After no other business, a motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 3:40 p.m. We then had a covered dish supper and had a good time being together. Until next time --Fraternally, Edith Charanza Reporter --SPJST-

Lodge 80 Donates $625 To Worthy Causes The Holland lodge held its March meeting Sunday, March 10 at 2 p.m. with all officers and 18 members present at the meeting.

I want to thank the vice president, Sister Adell Horelic a and Glen Latham, secretary, for substituting for me as reporter at this meeting, due to our absence at the meeting; Mary and I attended the golden wedding anniversary of my cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Janosky at Industry, Texas that day, which is the section of our country. I was born September 30, 1899 and I like to visit that community about once a year, if possible and, as I watched it from year to year, how, the countryside has changed! 50 or 60 years ago, it was a community of small farms about 40, 50, 60 acres, a cotton gin here and there and now beautiful brick homes, nicely fenced, and cattle grazing on beautiful pastures. Yes, times change everything!

4/VESTNiK—Wednesday, March 20, 1985

Going back to the golden wedding anniversary of the Janoskys, they had a wonderful reception at the Industry Firemen's Hall with a delicious noon meal served. They are members of SPJST Lodge No. 68, Nelsonville.

From the notes that Sister Horelica gave me from the Lodge 80 meeting are that we donated $125 to the SPJST National Cemetery at Holland, and a donation of $500 to the Bell County Fair and Livestock Show.

I understand that the financial reports that Brother Glen Latham, our secretary, gave were very good.

The lucky door prize winners were Frankie Pajestka, Jr., Isabel Kunz, Ligie Ivicic, Otto Horelic? and Adell Horelica; the birthday prizes for March went to Glenda Liles, Mrs. Erma Krause and Felix Biels.

Don't forget our Easter Sunday dance April 8 from 4 to 8 p.m. with music by Eddie Ray and Polka Dots.

Things are really getting green, it is time to get those lawn mowers out, again.

Fraternally, Joe Barabas, Jr. Reporter

Those members who are not coming out are missing a lot of good food and fellowship.

Again, I want to remind you to attend the Single's Dance held the last Friday of the month; this month the band will be'Country Jim Tippe.

We have bingo which starts at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday night. Come out and eat before bingo starts.

The kitchen opens at 6 p.m.; we have chicken salad sandwiches, chili dogs, and several kinds of homemade pies.

Lillie Teykl had the honor of drawing the door prize winners who were Mary Matcek and Jo Ann Morgan.

Let's see some new faces at our next meeting!

Report Of Lodge 88 March Meeting

-SPJST-

April 10th Meeting For Lodge 81 Dear Members: Our March 12th meeting was called to order by President Charlie Matcek at 7 p.m.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Gilbert Walzel.

All officers were present, and all reports were accepted as read.

We want to welcome Shirley Bosse as a new member. We hope to see Shirley at our future meetings.

We were sorry to hear that we have four members on the sick list; namely, Toni Orsak, Opal Teykl, Anthony Vecera and Velerian Matcek. We wish you all a speedy recovery.

Our sympathy to the Charlie Matcek family for the loss of Mary's brother in Louisiana.

Secretary Mary Werner read thank you notes from the Richmond State School, the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. II in Needville, and the family of Ervin Hurta.

President Charlie Matcek read a letter from our Supreme Lodge President Howard Leshikar. We want to take this opportunity to invite President Leshikar to come visit our lodge whenever he can.

Our lodge President Charlie Matcek and Herbert and Vlasta Nowotny attended the District V meeting in Pasadena last Sunday. Vlasta Nowotny reported that the ceremony and programs were beautiful. After hearing her report, I've decided not to miss any more of them.

Herbert Nowotny reported that the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home is running at full capacity, and the administrator is doing an excellent job Our next lodge meeting will be at 2 p.m. April 10th.

We will be honoring our 50 - year members with a lunch at 12:30 p.m.

All you ladies are asked to bring a covered dish and dessert.

We had a chili supper prior to our meeting, and I am happy to report that there were nineteen members present to enjoy the meal and an hour of fellowship before our meeting.

Lienita Walzel and Winnie Susan brought the delicious desserts.

The regular monthly membership meeting of Lodge 88 was held March 11th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. All officers were present, plus 135 members. Ten new applicants for membership were approved. Financial reports were read by Financial Secretary Josephine P flughaupt and Treasurer Lynn Pflughaupt.

Youth Leader Marie Stayton seems to be creating some renewed interest among our youth. It's good to have an increase in membership and increased activities around our lodge by these young people.

Chairman of the Board of Trustees Royal Warnasch discussed the accomplishments of the Board during the past month. And, speaking of accomplishsments, our Lodge 88 Men's Club seems to constantly be adding to the list of "good deeds" for which they are responsible.

The activity which created the greatest pleasure for our members during the last month must have been the "Sing - a - long" in the Blue Room Friday, March 8th. Because it was so well - enjoyed, another one is planned for April 26th. We also have plans for a Blue Room Party May 5th.

Our Choral Club and Czech Concert Orchestra always perform in a manner which makes us very proud that they represent the SPJST. Recently they performed at the Czech Fest in Corpus Christi, and at the District V spring meeting at Lodge 172 in Pasadena.

The membership authorized the Board of Trustees to set the policies for the swimming season coming up soon. Opening dates for our pool will be announced when available.

Congratulations to our newly elected District V officers: President -Clara Broz, 1st Vice President -- Dan Berry, 2nd Vice President -- Louis Hanus, Secretary -- Shirley Stonaker, and Treasurer -- Tommie Lostak; also, we can look forward to another District Family Day in September.

A major accomplishment at our meeting was the vote which accepted Direct Billing. The committee which investigated the pros and cons of such a major step supplied written information to the membership and the vote to accept direct billing by Supreme Lodge was heavily in favor.

In fact, it was almost unanimous by those members present. The discussion held prior to the vote indicated that

our lodge members understand that it is important to the growth of our Order to handle such matters in a uniform manner. We certainly do not wish to indicate that our billing system which has been handled locally up to now is inefficient. Our current financial secretary is very competent; however, computers have become a part of our society and we should not reject a modern system which will help us grow.

We heard reports from our Benevolence Person Mary Kosut of the many hours of charity hours and donated time by our faithful workers.

Also, Brother Homer Alexander, chairman of the newly - formed committee to help Abused Children is progressing with plans for several ways to earn funds with which to offer this assistance.

Our Publicity Committee Chairman Doris Knapick discussed the need for updating our mailing list. The plans are to ask all recipients of our monthly bulletins to respond to our office if they are interested in continuing to receive the bulletins. This should eliminate incorrect names and addresses on our list, so, be sure to respond when you receive your next bulletin if you want to stay on the mailing list.

Our next meeting is April 8th Fraternally, Marceil Malak Secretary -SPJST-

Head Of Youth Department

John Novak Czech Club, UT, Austin Dear Members: The regular monthly meeting was held Sunday, March 10th. All reports were read and approved. Conditions and finances are improving and, if you members wish to know more about the lodge, you need to attend the meetings.

Members and friends remember that Saturday, April 20th will be the next regular dance at the lodge; music will be by LAST CALL (country/western band). This is the band so many asked to return and play, again, so bring all of your friends and let's have a "BALL AT THE HALL." The lodge voted to donate $600 to the deaf organization. They will be sponsoring a bass tournament for the deaf in June and Jerry Mikus will be representing Lodge 183 this year, again; good fishing, Jerry!

I understand that Sophia Havran is still on the sick list and I would like to tell her that J.J. Darilek from Olney was at the lodge for the Ernie Kucera dance and asked about her. He wished her well and hoped that she would get better, soon.

You may have had trouble getting service at some of the cafes you have stopped at some time or another; well, my friend stopped at a roadside chicken place the other day and ordered half a chicken and after waiting forty - five minutes he asked the waitress why the delay. "We can't kill half a chicken," she snapped.

"We'll have to wait until someone else orders the other half."

Attend your lodge socials, meetings, and remember bingo Sunday afternoons, Tuesday and Thursday nights; keep on smiling and may tomorrow be a brighter day.

newspaper until dry. The bleach method removes the membrane inside the shell. The shells come out snow white. Do not use brown shells for this project. They will not bleach out white.

STEP 2 You may glue the shells to any surface, wood, hard plastic, glass, papier mache, etc. To adhere the shell to the box, use TACKY glue. Take a piece of shell, brush glue over one side.

Lay the shell, glue side down, onto the box. Lay a piece of wax paper over the shell. Press the shell flat to the box with the thumbnail. Use a flat tool or a 3/4 inch diameter piece of wooden dowel to roll over the shell to flatten it more securely to the box. Finish covering the project. Do the top only or if desired, you can apply the shells around the box edges and down the sides.

STEP 3 You may apply the shells either convexly or concavely. The final coat appears somewhat like a reptile skin if applied concavely. Each little cavity retains a puddle of paint. If applied convexly, paint is absorbed in the cracks only.

STEP 4 Break the shells into working size pieces about the size of your thumbnail. You can use the smaller pieces for fill - ins. Larger pieces are hard to handle. They do not flatten out uniformly.

STEP 5 To paint, brush paint over entire eggshell surface. If you are doing a box, and have covered the sides with shells, paint one side at a time. Be sure and get the paint into all the cracks and crevices of the shells. The paint acts as a grout to fill the cracks.

STEP 6 Take a piece of paper towel, rub off excess paint on eggshells. Add more paint if needed and again rub off excess. Allow the paint to dry.

STEP 7 Apply Arleene's Finish Coat. Use as many coats as necessary to build up the surface so you do not feel the eggshell edges. Finish the piece with a very fine wet dry sandpaper and just the suds from a dish of detergent water. Use a circular motion and sand gently. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. The finished piece will have a soft, smooth, beautiful sheen.

EGG SHELL MOSAIC THE LOOK OF MARBLE FROM EGGSHELLS You can get a finish that looks like marble from a very simple procedure that results in an eggshell mosiac or inlay.

It may be applied to boxes or to any surface. Try soft drink bottles, cans, table tops.

It takes approximately 6 to 8 shells to do a small project such as the top of a cigar box. Follow this procedure step - by - step and you will be amazed at the results.

MATERIALS: 1 box (or any surface) ARLEENE'S TACKY GLUE (In the Gold Bottle) Note: A MUST! The glue must "tack" quickly, dry flexible and have unusual holding power.

Acrylic paint - any color Fine sandpaper 180 or 220 Wet and dry sandpaper Short piece wooden dowel 3/4 inch diameter ARLEENE'S FINISH COAT - To protect the finish Note: Again Arleene's Finish Coat is a must: It is easy to apply, is water based, contains extra solids to protect surfaces. You may choose either gloss or matte depending on the finish you desire. Matte just protects, gloss gives a wet, shiny finish.

STEP I Preparing shells. Use fresh eggs.

When breaking them for fried or scrambled eggs save the shells. Wash them and place in a jar. Cover with liquid household bleach, full strength.

Put on the lid and let set for 48 hours.

Remove shells from jar, rinse well in cool tap water and lay out on a piece of

Expression Of Sympathy We, the Resolution Committee on behalf of all the members of Lodge No. 133, San Antonio, wish to express our deepest sympathy to the family of our departed sister DOROTHY L. VALKA, who passed away February 19, 1985, at the age of 59.

Sister Dorothy was born and raised in Taylor, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Holly, a very well - known family who was dedicated in the SPJST Fraternal Organization. At a later date the family moved to San Antonio. Dorothy was employed at Kelly Air Force Base where she retired from after 30 years service. About the same time her husband, Frank Valka, retired from the Security Service. They both enjoyed traveling and made many trips overseas; they visited Czechoslovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Egypt, and the 48 states plus Hawaii and Mexico.

Sister Dorothy enjoyed fishing, dancing and bowling. She enjoyed working with her husband restoring old cars very much, plus gardening which she also enjoyed very much.

(I personally have known Dorothy for 35 years and I was fortunate to have worked with her at the Kelly Base, and I have never known anyone who was so well - liked as she was: a very honest person, a hardworker who always wanted to do her best, and helped others in any way that she could. I shall always remember the phone call that I received from her in latter December 1984. She spoke to me for about 20 minutes; at that time, I didn't know that she was telling me good - bye. She knew that her time was almost up. In our conversation she thanked me for my friendship. A wonderful person, and I am sure that God welcomed her with open arms.)

May she rest in eternal peace.

items Of Interest Accent On Health: Dental Health Month Dental disease is the nation's most common chronic disease, affecting more than 90 percent of the population. According to Dr. Robert Bernstein, Commissioner of Health for the Texas Department of Health, by age five, 75 percent of all children have experienced dental disease. And,

gP4 ROKIRPR.NR.N.L2 50 percent of the people over 55 have lost all of their teeth.

Most oral disease is preventable. It can be stopped. "With proper training and care, people can keep their teeth and have healthy smiles throughout their lives," Dr. Bernstein said.

In an effort to promote dental health and to increase prevention of dental disease, February had been named National Dental Health Month.

Special programs held during February supplement the long - standing programs and efforts of dental health educators.

One of Texas' long - standing programs is the Tattletooth Program.

The program, which was made available to Texas schools in the fall of 1976, is for kindergarten through senior high school students. "The

major goal of the Tattletooth Program is to convince students that preventing dental disease is important, and that they can do it." Tattletooth teaches the methods for proper brushing and flossing, the role of diet and nutrition in dental health, and the importance of regular dental checkups.

"Promoting dental health does not stop in the classroom. Parents play a vital role in the care of their child's teeth by reinforcing dental health practices learned in the classroom and by serving as models of good habits."

Dr. Carlos Lozano, Chief, Bureau of Dental Health at TDH said, "Parents should schedule regular visits to the dentist beginning when all of their child's first teeth have erupted.

That way they can control dental disease with a minimum of pain and

expense. By keeping abreast of their child's development, parents will be better suited to protect their child from tooth decay".

Judge Nutrition Advice Before Following Advice on nutrition has become almost as common as advice to the lovelorn in many popular magazines Most people wouldn't think of experimenting with their health, yet that's just what happens when they

Wednesday, March 20, 1985—VESTNIK/9 indiscriminately follow the advice given in many of these stories, says nutritionist Dr. Dymple Cooksey.

A recent study by the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) indicates the accuracy of in formation in magazine nutrition stories ranges from 20 to 95 percent.

Unfortunately, the ACSH study also shows that some magazines with the most nutrition coverage are often the least reliable, adds Cooksey.

Readers need to make their own judgments about the accuracy and usefulness of this nutrition advice, she says.

First consider whether the article makes inaccurate claims that certain foods or nutrients have special benefits.

Particular foods or nutrients may have special features, but eating any one food in excess will lead only to an imbalanced diet, explains the specialist.

A variety of foods from the four basic food groups of protein foods, breads and cereals, dairy products and fruits and vegetables is the only known way to achieve a healthful diet, she maintains.

Next, consider the credentials of the person who writes or acts as the source of the article, Cooksey advises.

Unless the author is a Registered Dietitian or "R.D.", holds an academic degree in nutrition or is a medical doctor with special training in nutrition, he or she is unlikely to have a thorough knowledge of the subject.

In many cases, she says, the nutrition advice from unqualified authors -- especially celebrities -- is simply personal testimony that may have no basis in fact.

Also determine whether any weight loss diet featured in an article is safe, sensible and effective, cautions the specialist. A weight loss diet should be designed for gradual weight reduction, include a balanced diet and excercise, and not promote the purchase of pills, products or special diet foods.

Finally, ask yourself if the information seems to be scientifically sound and factual, suggests the nutritionist.

Even without a scientific background themselves, readers can note whether the author is associated with respected institutions or programs, Cooksey says. They can also be on guard for stories based on a single research study and sensationalized for public consumption.

Local Resources For Nutrition Information How can I cut down on salt? Is it really cheaper to buy the large size eggs? Exactly how does cholesterol function in the body? For answers to these and other food and nutrition questions, you don't have to look any further than your own community.

Many people doubt what they read or hear about nutrition -- especially when it seems designed to sell health products, vitamins, foods or fad diet programs, says Texas A&M University AES nutritionist Dr. Alice Hunt.

Others have specific questions, such as how food interacts with a medication or whether a certain food is appropriate for a diabetic diet, that aren't answered by nutrition articles in popular magazines.

Whatever type of nutrition information consumers are seeking, it should be available from reliable community resources, she says. These

local resources include: 1)The County Extension Office. The Extension office will have free or low cost publications and offer programs on nutrition, food preparation, purchasing, storage, handling and home canning. The county Extension home economist can answer specific questions about food and nutrition.

The office should be listed under county government in your phone book.

2)Dietetic Associations.

The American Dietetic Association operates a Dial - a - Dietitian service in many larger communities. It's staffed by volunteer certified nutritionists and dietitians to answer consumers' food related questions.

The American Dietetic Association and its local affiliates are observing National Nutrition Month during March. Check with your local Texas Dietetic Association group for information on special activities.

3)Local Health Department. This office may offer classes and health fairs on nutrition and other topics. It also handles food poisoning cases and monitors the sanitation of restaurants and food stores.

4)Food Stamp Offices. These offices may have free nutrition and food cost publications in English and Spanish for food stamp recipients. They are designed to help low - income consumers in buying and preparing more nutritious, less expensive food.

5)Local Libraries. The reference librarian can direct you to a number of books and other materials written by authoritative sources on nutrition and food.

The resources are available for consumers to have their nutrition questions answered quickly and easily by professionals in their own community, concludes Hunt.

How Much Salt In Snack Foods?

If you like to munch on chips or other salty snacks, you may want to know exactly how much sodium you're getting.

Some manufacturers list sodium amounts in milligrams per serving on food labels, but they are not required to do so, says Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension Service nutritionist Mary K. Sweeten.

However, a recent study of 15 popular national brand snack foods, reported in the Journal of Food Science, provides some information on their sodium contents, she says.

Researchers determined the average amount of salt in 100 grams -- or about 31/2 ounces -- of the snack. A typical single serving size bag of chips contains one to two ounces.

Of the products tested, pretzel twists and the most sodium with 2370 milligrams per serving. But saltines with 1974 milligrams, puff balls with 1190 milligrams and some corn - based snacks with 1014 milligrams are also high in sodium, she notes.

By comparison, Sweeten says that 1100 to 3300 milligrams of sodium is the recommended amount for daily intake.

Even one serving of these snacks, assuming you can eat just one, provides a substantial amount of the day's allotment for sodium, says the nutritionist. bviously, the salt content of different brands can vary, and the quantity of salt you eat depends on

how much and how often you eat these snacks, Sweeten maintains.

She also explains that the researchers found a wide range of sodium levels within some of the individual products they tested, and snacks made by regional and local companies were not tested at all.

Salt, or more correctly sodium (salt is 40 percent sodium), is important to the body, says the nutritionist.

However, excessive salt in the diet has been linked with hypertension, or high blood pressure. High blood pressure, in turn, may lead to heart or kidney disease or stroke.

The sodium content for the national brand snack foods tested is as follows: Mean Salt Content (mg00) Corn chips 741 Taco tortilla chips 868 Toasted corn 1307 Salted peanuts 595 Corn - flavored snacks 1014 Pretzel twists 2370 Nacho chips 546 Puff balls 1190 Tortilla chips 468 Sunflower seeds 721 Saltines 1794 Nacho cheese chips 292 Salty rye crackers 819 Wheat crackers 566 Granola snack bar 273 —SPJST-

Nutrition And Stress College Station -- Some people overeat when they are under stress while others avoid eating.

Either of these responses can hurt the body's ability, to cope with the stress, says Texas A&M University Agricultural Extension Service nutritionist Dr. Alice Hunt.

For short term stress, like that faced before an important business presentation or athletic event, the best foods to eat are those that are easy to digest, she says.

Stress diverts the blood supply away from the stomach and intestines where it is needed to aid digestion. So you may feel uncomfortable if you eat foods that take longer to digest.

Carbohydrate foods such as bread, cereal, spaghetti, macaroni, rice, potatoes and fruits leave the stomach earlier and are digested more readily than fats or protein, observes the nutritionist.

Foods that are high in fat take longer to be digested. Hunt recommends avoiding rich cookies and cakes, peanut butter, nuts, frankfurters, luncheon meats, gravy, yellow cheese and ice cream when stress levels are high.

The best menu for coping with long term stress created by financial difficulty, work or family problems is simply a balanced diet, she maintains.

A regular routine of eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, breads and cereals, dairy products and protein, will supply all the nutrients you need when you are under stress.

Although protein, vitamin C and B vitamins are sometimes claimed to be stress - fighters, Hunt says there is not enough scientific evidence to support those claims.

According to the nutritionist, many people are unaware that the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) are already designed with a built - in margin of safety.

The RDAs make generous allowances for supplying the nutritional needs of most people -including those under stress. That's -7hy special vitamin supplements are

not needed.

But following a well - balanced diet that includes a variety of foods may improve your ability to handle stress, Hunts says, since you can devote your energies to coping and not tax them with physical problems caused by a poor diet.

1985 Food Prices To Increase Moderately Food prices, which consumers tend to watch closely to determine if they are gaining or losing ground in the battle against inflation, will increase moderately during 1985.

A Texas Agricultural Extension Service economist foresees a rise in food prices of from 2 to 5 percent during 1985, about the same increase as last year.

Dr. Bill Black explains that this increase will reflect the rate of increase in inflation in the general economy rather than improved prices to farmers.

With the prospect for increased consumer income in 1985, consumers will spend about 14.6 percent of their disposable income for food, down from 15 percent in 1984, Black says.

He points out that food supplies will remain plentiful during the year, thus helping to keep consumer prices down.

According to the economist, the biggest price increases will be in pork and the lowest, in poultry, milk, and fruits and vegetables.

Prices consumers pay for food consists of the farm value of that product and the farm - to - retail price spread, Black explains. The farm value represents about one - third of the retail cost. The farm - to - retail price spread makes up the remaining two thirds of what consumers pay and represents costs involved in transforming raw farm products into finished foods and making them available to consumers. These costs mainly go to labor, packaging, fuel, power and transportation and are responsible for most food price increases.

Consumers are currently spending about 28 percent of their total food dollars on away - from - home food, notes Black, and its prices have been rising faster than the price of food eaten at home because more labor is involved.

Texas' forest products industry depends on national markets but Texas is the primary market for its wood products. Recent industry woes reflected the economic slowdown nationwide and Texas' slide into recession -- as well as high interest rates that stifled construction.

In 1983, the construction industry and the remodel/repair market improved substantially, pulling the timber industry out of the doldrums.

Also, freight rates dropped and Texas producers of plywood expanded into western markets.

Construction continued to improve nationally in 1984 with housing starts in the U.S. up 13 percent in the first half of the year compared to the first half of 1983. Texas construction activity was down in 1984 -- primarily because of overbuilding in many Texas markets in 1983. [Source: Harvest Trends, Texas Forest Service.]

Continued improvement in the industry will depend on reducing the federal budget deficit, keeping interest rates down and overcoming competition from Canada. Most Texas wood products come from the "Piney Wood" region of East Texas. Eighty seven percent of wood products produced in Texas in 1983 came from this region.

Making The Most Of Kitchen Appliances College Station -- Rather than buy more electrical kitchen appliances, many consumers would be better off making full use of the ones they currently own, says a TAMU Agricultural Extension Service home economist.

Too many of us have electric fry pans, griddles or blenders gathering dust in cupboards while we shop for food processors and electric woks, says Bonnie L. Piernot, a consumer economics specialist.

Manufactures try to develop appliances that are as versatile as possible to improve sales, she says, but consumers tend to habitually use them for one primary function.

Expanding the use of appliances you already own requires deliberate action, says Piernot. But it can be worth it.

For example, greater use of a blender or food processor can save money by reducing your purchase of prepared foods. The extra processing done by the commercial food company make food more expensive. You can use the appliance to perform some of the same tasks and save those dollars, the specialist explains.

Piernot suggests that you can make new uses for appliances you already have: Periodically read the "use and care" book that come with the appliance, magazine and newspaper articles for new ideas on how to cook with it.

Analyze recipes. What processes are required to complete the product and what appliances will simplify -these processes? You may not do things in the same order or in the same manner as when you did them by hand.

Combine processes whenever possible. For example, in making a meat loaf, you could crumble the crackers or bread in a blender first, followed by the addition of the eggs, milk and seasoning. This mixture could then be combined with the meat or the entire meat loaf could be mixed in a food processor.

Consider alternative uses for the appliance. An electric fry pan will do more than fry foods. It can be used for stir - frying; baking pizza, cake or muffins; popping corn or slow cooking. That means you can eliminate a wok, toaster - oven and popcorn popper. Or if you have a wok, try using it for searing, braising, poaching, deep frying, stewing and popping corn.

Let your imagination and determination expand the use of those small appliances already taking up space in your kitchen, Piernot emphasizes.

Upholstery Fires Decline College Station -- Upholstered furniture is safer than it used to be, but caution -- especially with cigarettes -- is still necessary to prevent fires, says a Texas A&M University AES housing specialist.

The National Fire Prevention Association and the U.S. Fire Administration report a 37 percent decline since 1978 in upholstered furniture fires started by burning cigarettes, says Dr. Peggy Owens.

Changes in the construction of furniture, consumer information campaigns and the increased use of smoke detectors may have contributed to the decline, she explains.

Upholstered furniture construction has become more fire - resistant over the past decade largely due to the voluntary efforts by the furniture industry, says the specialist.

A recent study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that 91 percent of the lighted cigarettes placed on the chairs tested did not ignite. This compares to a 78 percent non - ignition rate in similar CPSC tests conducted in 1980.

A majority of new upholstered furniture complies with the strict standards of the Upholstered Furniture Action Council (UFAC).

But older furniture or furniure that consumers may buy used will probably be less fire - resistant, Owens cautions.

She advises consumers to look for the hang - tag on new furniture which indicates it meets UFAC construction criteria and carried a warning about careful smoking habits and the installation of smoke detectors.

Unfortunately, high - risk smoker groups including the elderly, infirm and disabled, alcohol and drug abusers and the very poor, are the least likely to have either the newer fire - resistant furniture or smoke detectors in their homes, Owens remarks.

But the specialist notes that with an estimated 300 million pieces of upholstered furniture now in use, improved safety habits can play a vital role in protecting all consumers.

Farm Debt Plaguing Agriculture Farm debt is like a heavy weight on the shoulders of many farmers today and has been the cause of increased farm liquidations, farm bankruptcies and agricultural loan delinquencies the past few years.

"Eighteen percent of the nation's farmers and ranchers have debt - asset ratios of more than 40 percent," notes Dr. Forrest Stegelin, an economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The Texas A&M University System. "The most integrated farming operations have the highest ratios, but they are accepted as normal operating procedures for their businesses and are not typically part of the farm debt problem."

Thirty percent of the farms with annual sales exceeding $100,000 have debt - asset ratios of more than 40 percent. Farms with less than $40,000 in annual sales usually have a greater off - farm income. Therefore, these operators are not as vulnerable to high farm debts as the larger commercial farms, adds Stegelin.

The Great Lakes, Corn Belt and Northern Plains states have the highest concentration of debt - asset ratios greater than 40 percent. The Southern Plains, including Texas, is below the national average, says the economist.

Weak asset values for farmland and farm machinery have not curtailed the problem. Farmers with high debt asset ratios own 15 to 20 percent of these assets. So, more liquidations and farm debt should be expected in 1985, explains Stegelin.

Debt restructuring steps are being taken since farmers are neither borrowing nor buying like they were a decade ago, he says.

Today's Busier Kitchens With A Second Sink Streamline

space. If there's a universal complaint among homeowners, it's a lack of countertop space in the kitchen. A second sink, with adjacent countertops, gives the cook's helper extra space for preparing such things as vegetables and salads without breaking up the other person's work pattern. * Second, an added sink gives the kitchen another water source. Back and forth trips to the sink to add water to a pot or rinse off food are typical in normal meal preparation. A second sink can speed up cooking time by eliminating such trips.

Too many cooks can spoil the broth in a crowded kitchen.

One way to streamline the cooking process is by adding a second sink. This arrangement gives the kitchen another water source and provides added work space.

If the counter where the second sink is located is built to the right height to accommodate stools—approximately 42 inches—this area can be used for casual dining or other purposes. For example, children can sit at the counter and chat with Mom and Dad during meal preparation without getting in the way. The counter can also be used for such things as games, finger painting or other quiet activities.

Like too many cooks spoiling the broth, too many people in a kitchen trying to prepare a meal can result in a bumpy experience and meal preparation that is stressful, rather than relaxing and shared.

One way to ease the work flow is to specifically design the kitchen to accommodate more than one cook. This is

Alunfliritim Siding Minimizes Expensive Exterior Maintenance

Aluminum siding provides an attractive and durable finish to your home exterior. It will withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and high winds, without cracking, chipping or peeling.

Just as the coming of spring is predictable, so is the frequent repainting of your home. Aluminum siding can reduce the time consuming task of repainting as well as save money for years to come.

The main advantages of aluminum are durability, versatility and quality. Unlike wood siding, which requires repainting every two to four years, the baked-on or laminated finish of high quality aluminum siding is warranted to last decades. Aluminum siding will provide clean, strong lines and vibrant colors

for many years.

Aluminum, though one of the lightest structural metals, is also very strong. Because of this, aluminum siding withstands harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and high winds, without cracking, chipping or peeling.

Once you have re-sided your home with aluminum you have minimized expensive future maintenance. Aluminum doesn't require scraping, priming or painting. The only maintenance your siding may require is occasional —SPJST-

Aluminum siding also offers the versatility of finishes. comes in a variety of colors to suit any type of architecture or personal preference.

The colors of aluminum siding vary from pastels and deep reds, to blues, greens, browns, earth tones and white.

In addition to numerous color choices, aluminum sid ing has a wide range of styles (vertical and horizontal sid ing, shakes, etc.) and can be obtained in many different panel widths and embossed textures, from smooth to a grained texture that resembles rough-sawn wood. To complete the exterior decoration of your home, aluminum offers a complete line of accessories such as soffit and fascia, gutters and downspouts, shutters, coil for custom window trim, awnings, railings, and even columns.

Ceramic Tile Captures Sun's Warmth In Custom Addition house, as does the fresh summer breeze through screened panels in the sunspace—true comfort year-round.

To plan an effective passive solar sunspace, select a southern exposure and take advantage of the benefits of decidudus trees which drop their leaves in the Fall, allowing maximum sunlight to penetrate the glass onto the floor.

In passive solar design of sunspaces, the floor is the thermal mass. It absorbs the sun directly.

A new glass sunspace with pitched roof fits comfortably on this 50-year-old home following its roofline. The pear tree in full leaf shades the room in the summer, and when the leaves are gone, the sun shines through to the ceramic tile floor which absorbs its heat during the winter.

A glass room with doors and windows was added over an existing concrete slab patio which gives the owners increased living space, makes entertaining easy, and creates a warm sunspace for winter days, and a cool, breezy room all summer. Ceramic tile by American Olean was used for the floor. It absorbs the heat from the sun directly into the slab below, and slowly releases it when sunlight diminishes.

To increase living space, an 11' X 13' glass sunroom was added as an extension of the living room. Ceramic tile by American Olean was used on the floor to absorb heat.

French doors which opened to the wrap-around concrete

patio were replaced by pocket doors which are left open most of the time. The sunspace provides light, a view to the outside, plus extra space for sitting and entertaining. Warmth from the winter sun comes into the

savings.

Not only does a good garage door help safeguard your family and your car, but it can be energy-efficient too. Attached garages, especially, are a good place for thorough insulation. Often, bedrooms are directly above such a garage. Therefore, the garage door should serve the dual purpose of being a door and a

Selection of thermal efficient materials to finish the floor is critical. Materials such as vinyl, wood, and carpet will not effectively absorb the sun's heat. Ceramic tile is an excellent choice for the floor in a sunspace, since.the tile will absorb the heat, conduct it to the slab underneath where it is stored until the sun goes down. Then the heat is released slowly back into the room, extending the period of warmth.

Ceramic tile by American Olean was selected to finish the floor in this addition. The tile is Primitive Encore Blue which resists scratching and will not pick up glare from the sun. A medium blue color was chosen because it blends with the decor and contrasts well with the granite exterior walls which are now inside the glass room. Dark colors absorb more heat than light ones, but this particular shade ranks in the medium range which was satisfactory to the owners. They selected a small 4" X 4" size to make the room look slightly larger.

On a bright winter day, any sunspace can overheat, so mylar coated shades were installed along the roof of the glass addition which are eas ily pulled to regulate the heat gain. Ridge vents with thermostatically controlled exhaust fans were installed along the interior roof line to remove excess heat to the outside. Natural convection currents occur in a sunspace, so the flow of warm air travels from the sunspace into the living room warming it on

Summitville's S-1000 latex mortar has been formulated to withstand the stresses of freezing and thawing, and is the ideal setting adhesive to use on outdoor projects.

Loose Arrangement of Tile Determines Layout Prior To Installation It's important to lay out the tile loose before beginning installation. Tiling should start somewhere in the middle of the floor. Snap a chalk line from wall to wall. Adjust the tile layout so you don't end up with less than half a tile at the edge. Now snap another chalk line between the other two walls. Check to make sure the lines cross each other at right angles. Again, lay out the tile, adjusting the starting point to avoid less than half tiles at the edges.

Tile setting is a simple, fourstep process — the same for every tile project. Apply the adhesive with a notched trowel. Do only a small area at a time so you can correct any mistakes before the adhesive dries. If you're installing extra thick tile with a deep pattern, spread adhesive on each tile, too.

From time to time, check for true courses with your straightedge and square. To make sure tiles lie flat and are firmly embedded in the adhesive, slide a flat board across the surface while tapping with a hammer.

Tile nippers are used to shape tiles to fit around pipes or fixtures. Nip off little bits at a time and smooth edges with carborundum stone, unless edges are covered by the fixture.

Few projects end up with a full row of tiles at the edges.

You'll need a tile cutter (available on loan from your tile dealer) to cut the tile to fit .

Products such as Summitville's designed-for-the-jobadhesives and pre-blended grouts have put ceramic tile jobs well within the skills of do-it-yourselfers. These products, along with Summitville's selection of ceramic tile, help homeowners achieve professional results and keep ceramic tile's promise of long-lasting, carefree beauty.

L. o abut o ail o nimi o nicht Mod Jima I. Jim/ jlit The forms that are not printed bold are seldom used. The pronoun ktery' is preferred always, with the exception of the possessive jehat, jeja, jejicht where ktery: cannot be used. Jent is sometimes used after prepositions, because it is shorter. The gender and number of the relative pronoun agrees with the noun it qualifies (and follows), the case is given by the function of the pronoun in the relative clause. Observe: °bed, ktery jsi nam uvafila, byl velmi dobrST. Kniha, kterou ted etu, je velmi zajimava.

Misto, na kterem stojime, je pametihodne (memorable). Slova, kterfm nerozumite, musite vyhledat ye slovniku. Ten stark pan, s nimi jsem pied chvili mluvil, je znan4r spisovatel.

Hrad, kolem tzehog jsme jell, se jmenuje Karlgtejn.

Note: Unlike English the personal pronoun can never be left out.

2) The conditional is formed by means of the past participle and the auxiliary verb bych: pracoval, -a, -0 pracovali, -y, -a praco-``praco-"bychom bych bys byste by by The reflexive verbs have in the second person singular the form by ses, by sis (stria' by ses, myslel by sis). The auxiliary bych is enclitic, like jsem in the past tense and takes exactly the same position in the sentence.

The uses of the conditional: 1) Conditional clause. The English if is replaced by kdy + bych in corresponding form. Observe: Kdybych mel Us, bych do kina. (If I had time, I would go to the cinema). Kdybys mi pajeil penize, mohl bych si to koupit.

(If you lent me money, I could buy it.)

Kdybychom umeli nejakou Zeskou pisen, mohli bychom si ji ted zazpivat.

Kdyby nebylo Ceskoslovensko tak daleko, jezdil bych tam na navgtevu kaldSi rok.

2) Purpose and object clauses use the conditional with a- preceding the bych form. Observe: Uefm se eesky, abych (in order to, so that) mohl eist eeske knihy a easopisy. Chceme, aby byl poild mfr. Rodiee mi napsali, abych se hned vratil domil (indirect order).

3) Conditional expressing wish, advice, order or careful statement: Rad bych ti neco fekl. (I would like to tell you something.) gel bych se vykoupat.

(I would like to go and have a swim.)

To bys nemel &lat. (You should not do that.) Pajeil bys mi to knihu?

(Would you kindly lend me the book?)

Aekl bych, Ie to neni pravda. (I think it is not true.)

In Czech, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y. They may be either short or long.

The rest of the letters in the alphabet are called consonants.

These consonants have about the same sound as in English: b, d, f, h, I, m, n, p, r, s, v, and z.

Examples: bude prsten dogel rano fazol strana hrdina lev zima maslo Translate *** The consonants b, d, h, v, and z have different sounds when they appear at the end of a syllable or at the end of a word. The d sounds like a t, h like th, b like p, z like s, and v like an f.

Examples: (2 or more syllables) (1 syllable) pohadka dub kolebka vitz poukazka hiev hldvka rad vlhko pluh Translate *** Some consonants fall into a special category, because they do not have exact English equivalents: CH— as in "loch" or the German `Bach' (has to be demonstrated to heard correctly). ucho, chystati, chyba, chfipka. g— as in gun, got. grandt, gro g , guma.

K— as in cafe, cat. koeka, c— like is in mats, bats. cesta, cena, cizi. e--- like ch in chair, church. elen, elovek, Best. j— like y in yet, yam. jelen, jemnSr, jed. g-- like sh in shoot, shirt. gkoda, gkola, gindel.

2— like the s in measure, pleasure. lertovali, laludek, 2drovka. i— very hard for non-Czechs to say, because there is no English equivalent.

Remotely resembles rsh. Must be learned from someone who speaks Czech.— etendi, fad, Ilecko.

Translate *** The consonants 2, g , e, c d, t', Ii, i, and j are "soft consonants", and are followed by the soft i or 1— never by y or 3'1. dlan bud' fidie ted jidlo livot letigte girgi budie ears coul Translate *** The following are hard consonants: h, ch, k, d, t, n, and r and are followed by the hard y or never the soft i or

Trees and shrubs may be worth more than you realize, says the American Association of Isairserymen, which estimates landscaping can add as much as 27 percent to the sale price of a house. Loss of plants due to storms or other causes may be recouped through insurance, by taking a casualty - loss deduction on your income tax -- or through a civil suit if a construction crew of some other outside party is to blame. In most cases, you will need an appraisal by a qualified expert immediately after the damage occurs.
