20,000 CARE FOOD PACKAGES
IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
Twenty thousand CAEE food packages are
now in Czechoslovakia, ready for immediate
distribution to the friends and relatives of
Americans of Czeeh .and Slovák descent, who
wish to order them to help loved ones abroad
who are suffering from the acute food short-
age.
The annomicement of the safe arrlval of the
food packages in Czechoslovakia was made at
CARE’S New York headquarters, as the na-
tionwide “share through CARE” campaign gets
under way, making it possible for people in
this country to share their plenty with friends
and relatives overseas. Twenty thousand such
people may now share in this way immediately
with famílies in Czechoslovakia., and others
may join as further shipments are made.
J. M. Potts of the CARE staff traveled with
the first shipment of food packages, and is
now in Prague to establish headquarters and
to make arrangemente for warehousing the
packages in various parts of the country. From
local warehouses, the packages can be distrib-
uted quickly to Czeeh families whose friends
and relatives in America wish to share with
them.
This systém of pre-shipping packages, as
shipping space is available, and warehousing
them at convenient local points in Czechoslo-
vakia, is part of the speciál CARE pian for ex-
pediting and insuring delivery of packages
sent from America.
The speed and certainty of delivery is also
insured by the issuing of two receipts to the
donor of every CARE package. When an order
is placed in this country, the person ordering
a package for Czechoslovakia is given an im-
mediate receipt, which entitles him to a full
refund of his money if the package, for any
reason, cannot be delivered. A second receipt,
signed by his own friend or relative in Cze-
choslovakia, is sent to him when the package
has been delivered.
The organization which makes this possible
is the Cooperative for American Remittances
to Europe, lne., otherwise konwn as CARE. It
is a non-profit organization, sponsored by the
United States government and approved by
President Truman. It is eomposed of twenty-
four national welfare, religious and labor or-
ganizations, including American Relief for
Czechoslovakia, lne,
CARE, with the support of the United States
State Department, signs speciál agreements
with the countries overseas where it operates,
The CARE agreement with Czechoslovakia ad-
mits CARE food packages duty free with tax
exempt, and provides for government coopera-
tion and police protection, in the delivery of
the packages. Also, it insures Czechoslovakia;!
families who receive CARE packages from any
loss of their regularly-issued rations.
Each CARE package contains 29 pounds of
food, with a total value of 40,000 calories,
enough to supplement the rations of an indi-
vidua! in Czechoslovakia for fořty to íifty days.
There is solid meat, stews and hashes; cereal
and biscuits, fruit jam and pudding, vege-
tables, sugar and candy, cocoa, coffee and eva-
porated milk, preserved butter and cheese.
Anyone in this country may buy a CARE
package for immediate delivery in Czechoslo-
vakia. The package may be sent to an Indi-
vidua! friend or relative, to a specific organiza-
tion such as an orphanage, or for unspecified
individuals and groups, to be selected by pro-
per authorities in Czechoslovakia on the basis
of need.
The proceduře for ordering a CARE package
is simple. The donor simply sends his own
tíame and address, the name and address of
the person to receive the gíft, and a check or
money order for fifteen dohars to CARE, at 50
Broad Street, New York 4, N. Y. Or, if he pre-
fers, he may fill in an applieation form, avail-
able at any bank in his own community. CARE
does all the rest. There is no additional charge
for paeking, insurance or shipping.

NEW BÓOKS
Colloquial Czeeh. By J. Schwarz, Publ. by
Kegan Paul Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd., Lon-
don. Frice 4s 6d ňet.
There are numerous text-books of foreign
languages compiled withoUt the slightest ap-
preciation of the studenťs mentality. Instead
of elucidating points of grammar, phrase, and
idiom these text-books, it seems, make it their
chief care to confuse, and consequently to dis-
courage the bewildered and intimidated be-
ginner. Bearing this sad fact in mind we can-
not but praise the present authoťs simplicity,
logic, and understanding, manifest in his ap-
proach to, and treatment of, the subject, He
does not begin by emphasizing the countless
difficulties which confront the foreign stu-
dent; neither does he create such difficulties
by burdening his pages with irrelevant details
and duli discourse. The words and phrases he
collected correspond to everyday needs, while
he never endeavours to go beyond the bare es-
sentials of grammar and grammatieal termi-
nology. The intelligent student will from the
outset be encouraged to speak, and the seru-
pulous and serious one will discover he speaks
reasonably well. P. K.

NO IMPEACHMENT LIKELY
OVER SUPREME COURT ROW
The suggestion is made that Congress in-
stitute a thorough investigation into the al-
legations contained in the letter which Jus-
tice Jackson released, containing charges
against Justice Black.
From this start the news experts are liaving
a wonderful time. They slyly suggest that,
raaybe, both justices will resign, which is
popy-cock of the first magnitude. Then they
speculate as to what the President will do,
when everybody knows that the Chief Execu-
t.ive can do nothlng whatever to chastise, cor-
rect or intimidate a man after he is on the
Supreme Court.
In fact, there is not much that Congress
can do, unless it gets down to the business
of impeachment. The charges thus far aired
are not sufficient to secure a trial, much less
a conviction, before the Senáte which would
sit as judges in an impeachment trial.
After all, about the nub of the Jackson al-
legations is the admission that he does not
like Justice Black, that in his opinion, Mr.
Black should not háve considered a certain
čase and that the two justices had some hot
words about the situation.

ALL-SLAV CONGRESS IN PRAGUE IN 1948.
According to a report published by the Cze-
choslovak News Bulletin, on May 23, the All-
Slav Council, with headquarters in Moscow,
which recently held a meeting in Prague, de-
cided that its next- conference will be held at
Belgrade in the autumn of this year. Its main
duty will be to work out a pian for a great All-
Slav Congress to be held in Prague in 1948.
The dáte and plače were chosen to celebrate
the hundredth anniversaíy, of the First Slav
Congress, an event of great historie import-
ance, which was held in Prague in the revolu-
tionary years of 1848. At that time Russia- was
represented by the liberál and radieal op-
ponents of the Cžaristic government.
The Americans of Slavic origin will most
probably also be represented in Prague by a
delegation to be sent by the American Slav
Congress, which will hold its third national
convention in September of this year, in New
York City.

PLANNING HOUR FOR FIELD WORKERS
The planning hour gives a man a full day’s
work, intelligently laid out. It develops the
highest efficiency in the fíeld. For the man
who has a specific reason for seeing a specific
prospect at a specific hour is not going to be
side-tracked by moving picture lithographs, or
show window displays.
The planning hour should be a designated
hour, just the same hour every day — and it
should be spent by yourself quietly and prayer-

fully, with all the tools you need at hanď ready
for your use. , ■
First, there should be a big Master Pian fbr
Life, to include each loved one and all your
interests, worked up yearly periods so that you
háve on páper just what you pian for each one-
— and for yourself — for each year ahead —
soul, education, comforts, pleasure, finances.
Then definite plans for achieving each end.
And a definite pian for the day for each end.
Below are some of the duties to be cared for
during the Planning Hour:
1. A review of the work of the preceding day,
with frank criticism of one’s own work.
2. A selection of the prospects to be seen the
coming day.
3. An outline of the reasons for making each
call — the sort of a proposition to present, and
the reasons behind it.
4. A grouping of the calls by zones and hours
the prospects can be seen to best advantage.
There are three guides for the planning
hour:
1. The hour selected must not be one which
can be ušed to advantage in seeing prospects.-
2. It should be an hour, either at the Office
or at home, when one will not be interrupted.
3. Its value lies in regular and consistent
use — not an hour today, three hours tomor-
row, and none for two or three days after-'
wards. But an hour today and tomorrow and
every day, regularly until it becomes a hábit.

100,000 SLOVAKS TO BE REPATRIATED
FROM IIUNGARY
Statements made by the Hungarian mini-
stérs now visiting the United States to the ef-
fect that Czechoslovakia intends to transfer
650,000 Magyars from Sloyakia were denied by
the Czechoslovakian newspapers.
A speciál correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor reports from Prague, on June
17, that the Czechoslovakian circles point out
that, according to the Hungarians themselves,
there aren’t more than 500,000 Hugarians in
Slovakia. Of these, about 100,000 are being vol-
untarily exchanged for 100,000 Slovakian re-
sidents in Hungary under an agreement reach-
ed between the two countries after negotia-
tions in Prague this spring,
It is contended here that another 100,000
Slovaks would readily leave Hungary but for
intimidation practiced by Hungarian authori- ■-
ties. Leaving that aside, however, some 200,000
of the remaining 400,000 Hungarians in Slo-
vakia are applying for, and a vast majority
will gel., Czechoslovakian citizenshíp on the
grounds that they were only Magyarized re-
cently — as shown either by their names or
their knowledge of the Slovák language, or
both. Thus, according to Czechoslovakian cal- ■
culations, Hungary will háve to find room for .
not more than 200,000.

RAPID POSTWAR RECOVERY IN
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
The Overseas News Agency reports from
Prague. on June 20, that industry in Czechoslo-
vakia is making an extraordinary postwar re-
covery. Increased production is reported in
almost all industrial fields for the month of-'
May, and exports líkewise show a healthy
augmentation over the preceding month.
Coal production shows an inerease, al-
though it is still far from the desired goal
owing to the manpower shortage that besetS •
all of Europe. On April 1, the employment iň
industrial plants was given as 1,071,742 per-
sons, of which total only fifty-five per cent ,
was in the Industries that háve been na-
tionalized, an indication that nationalizatioíi •.
has not . been carried out to the extent that-
was first believed likely and- feasible.
The largest amount of exports during' the
month of May was sold to Switzerland, and "
substantial amounts were also sold to Austria,""
the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain,
Sweden, and France. These exports were
chiefly coke, potatoes, and iron goods, while
imports consisted primarily of coal, wheat,
and Chemical Products,
