FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK George Washington (1732-1799) had a great career as a soldier and statesman. during the early years of America. He was the first president of the United States and is often referred to as "The Father of His Country." One of, the well-known tributes to George Washington is "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." His birthday is celebrated February 22, each year.

• • When Abraham. Lincoln (1809-1865) was a boy he read the story of Washington many times over. He carried the book with him to the field, and read it whenever he could. Washington was a great hero to him and he asked himself: "Why cannot I be like him?"

And did he not become so?

• • It is interesting to note that women have played an important part in the history of our country's flag. Betsy Ross is well known as the creator of the first Stars and Stripes. " 'Shoot if You must this old gray head, but spare your country's flag,' she said," is John Greenleaf Whittier's tribute to Barbara Frietchie who proudly flew the Stars and Stripes from her window when Stonewall Jackson's troops marched through Fredrickstown. And Mary Pickersal earned $405.90 for making the huge 32x40 foot flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the British

C °ROE WASHINGTON . . . Father of His Country bombardment of that stronghold -inspiring Francis Scott Key to write his immortal verse, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Recently We ran across a fine story which clearly shows the difference between just working and cooperating. It also stresses that even if people may work hard individually this effort is wasted if it is not properly channeled with the work production of others involved.

The story is as follows: "A man went to the country store to buy himself a pair of overalls and when he came home he realized that they were three inches too long.

"So he asked his wife to cut them down and she refused. Angered by his wife's refusal, he sat up that night and after all were in bed, he cut off three inches, sewed up the ends neatly and went to bed.

"The wife felt sorry for her husband so she got out of bed, cut three more inches off, repaired the cuffs and went back to bed.

"The mother-in-law, now knowing what had happened and in order to preserve the peace in the family, got out of bed, cut off three more inches, sewed up the ends neatly and went back to bed.

"This little incident proves that all were working and helping. But they certainly were not cooperating. ♦ • Total outstanding investments of the nation's life insurance companies rose about $9.4 billion during 1969 to reach $198 billion at year-end, according to estimates by the Institute of Life Insurance.

The net increase amounted to 5 per cent, compared with year-end 1968.

Both the dollar and percentage growth were somewhat smaller than in the previous two years — mainly re-

Wednesday, February 18, 1970 fleeting tight money conditions and government efforts to curb inflation.

The declining stock market was also a factor.

Net earnings on I fe companies' investments (before Federal income taxes) totaled $9.3 billion, which was $700 million or 3 percent higher than in 1968.

5.07% Earnings Rate .The net pre-tax earnin: ,::, rate on investments climbed above :5 percent for the first time in 39 years. The 1969 earnings rate was imated at 5.07 per cent, the highest in. 43 years, compared with a 1968 fate 4If 4.95 per cent.

The companies' investm: ts mainly represent' funds set aside to meet future obligations to life insurance Policyholders and under ,ALred pension and annuity plans. lnvestment earnings help to keep, down the cost of protection to policyholders.

Although money continued extremely tight throughout 14969, life companies helped to meet business needs for financing. Their corporate bond holdings rose $2.7 billion or 4 per cent -the largest dollar increase of any investment category. The estimates that these holdings totaled $71.7 billion at year-end.

Mortgage Loakis The $72.3 billion outstanding in mortgage loans continued to represent the largest category of investments. Mort-. gage holdings rose $2.3 billion or 3 per cent in 1969.

Stocks are a small but growing factor in life companies' investments, and the companies took advantage of buying opportunities in th( , declining stock market during 1969. Their net purchases of common stocks (mainly under separate accounts foe pension funds and variable annuity plans) reached a record $1.5 billion, compared with $1.1 billion in 1968. This more than offset an estimated $750 million or 6 1/2 per cent decline in market prices of their portfolios, so that the companies' overall common stock holdings showed a net increase of about $700 million or 7 per cent during the year. The year-end market value of their holdings was $10.7 billion. (These estimates do not include assets of mutas1funds associated with, life compantite ).

Policy Loans Tight money conditions heightened demand, from policyholders for loans against their life insurance. Policy

loans showed a net increase of $2.6 billion or 23 per cent during the year, with $13.9 biligen outstanditg at year-end. This somewhat limited the funds that life companies had available for corporate bond financing of business and industry or for mortgage loans.

In this connection, Brother Skrabanek informed the members that he and Brother Sid Pokladnik agreed to underwrite the difference in order not to delay the construction.

Brother Skrabanek paid high tribute to the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Needville for the donation of two acres of land toward this project.

Editor R. J. Sefcik suggested that Brother Skrabanek and . Brother Pokladnik be accorded recognition for underwriting this project.

Following Rest Home Dirac or Skrabanek, Di:strict Director E. J. Hanka made his report. He noted that he had attended various lodges throughout the district as well as meetings at Headquarters, SPJST, and other district meetings. He explained that due to the construction of the new headquarters office building, commitments to the new Rest Home yid premium refunds payments, the SPJST was not in a position to honor loans at the present time. Brother Hanka noted that in purchasing the site for the new home office, SPJST President Marek broke the tie of purchasing the entire block and the SPJST can resell some of the property at a substantial gain.

He noted some bids have been made to purchase the old SPJST building.

He pointed out that the old line insurance companies have a very strong lobby looking toward the texotion of fraternal societies and urged the members to be cognizant of this and do everything in their power to protect the fraternal orders. He further noted that the solvency of the SPJST is 121%, which is considerably higher than most. He expressed his appreciation of having worked with the new president and the board of directors in the past and feels most sincerely that the many problems they have encountered have been solved to the best interest of the members of the SPJST. Vice-President Alvin â&#x20AC;˘,Sefcik introduced the following: Brother Morris, Brother Zabcik, and Sister Zabcik, Brother and Sister Mikeska, Brother R. J. Sefcik, and Brother and Sister Skrabanek. Brother and Sister Brdecka were recognized by PreSident Rice.

Brother Rice then called on our SPJST Supreme Lodge President to speak. Brother Morris informed the members that the contract for the

Wednesday, February 18, 1970 construction of the new home has been consumated in the sum of $569,000. He emphasized the inmortance to organizers to be selective in soliciting new members to the SPJST and he also stressed the importance of each individual member of the Society being fully informed of what headquarters is doing because the Society belongs to the members. He noted that since May 1, 101 supposedly fraternal charters were petitioned and many of these were not fraternal and that is why the Fraternal Congress is of the utmost importance to uphold the tenets of fraternal orders. He noted that the participation of District V in youth activities was below expectation. He recommended that the district president should appoint a three-member auditing committee to audit the district records and this committee to make a report only.

He explained the taxation issue of fraternal societies which may have interests in television stations, motels, and other unrelated interests. He recommended that the 1972 convention in Houston have a professional stenotypist.

In closing, Brother Morris expressed his thanks to his co-workers and said he feels sincerely that much has been accomplished in the past and much is to be accomplished in the future by further cooperation. He informed the members that he will be a candidate for the office or president.

A motion was made and tabled until the spring meeting for the purchase of a permanent family-type district camp.

The site and date of the spring meeting of District V was left to the discretion of the officers.

F. A. Kadlecek, Secretary of District V LODGE, NO. 6, COTTONWOOD

Dear Members and Readers, On Sunday, February 1, SPJST Lodge Moraysti Bratri No. 6 held its monthly meeting at Cottonwood Hall with Brother Arnold Kasberg, Jr. presiding.

Following, President Kasberg gave his welcome address and recog.:. nized Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Banik, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dulock, and Mr. Rudolph Zalman as visitors from SPJST Lodge 35.

The treasurer's report by Brother Willie Helona and the financial secretary's report by Brother George Straten, Jr. were both found in order and accepted as read, President Kas-, berg then called upon Sister Ruth Krizan to present her reports. Sister Krizan reported Sister Marian Mikeska and Brother Joe C. Filer as being on the sick list. Sister Mikeska has been seriously ill for the past few weeks and has been residing in the McNuttCallaway Nursing Home in Hillsboro, Texas. Brother Filer is recuperating at his home in Waco, Texas from major lung surgery. In her youth report, Sister Krizan stated that the youngsters are planning a Valentine party on Friday, February 13, a kite-flying contest on Sunday, March 1 and an Easter egg hunt on Sunday, March 22, at 2 p.m.

After discussing old and new business, President Kasberg called upon Brother John J. Mynar Cottonwood Hall Chairman, to give his monthly report on income and expenditures of the hall. Brother Mynar's report was found in order and accepted as read.

President Kasberg then mentioned that Lodge No. 6 has five new candidates for membership and all five were accepted as new members of Lodge No. 6. At that time, Brother Joe R.

Door prize names drawn for this month's meeting included: Brother John D. Horak for the $10 prize and Brother Charles Sykora for the $5 prize. Since these are attendance prizes and neither of the members were present, the $10 prize will remain for the next meeting and the $5 prize will be raised to $6. Also, the youth club donated a special door prize at this meeting which was won by Sister Evelyn Seith. There being no further business to discuss, President Kasberg adjourned the meeting 'until Sunday, March 1, at 3 p. m.

Fraternally, yours, Charles Conner, Reporter -SPJST -CZECH NATIONAL CEMETERY

IN HOLLAND,

The history of the Czech National

is Cemetery in Holland, as I heard it told, got its name from a soldier who made the supreme sacrifice at the Alamo.

Before that it was known as the Mountain Home. In about 1900, the W. C. Sparks Ranch was subdivided into small tracts and offered for sale. John Poncik and Jim Wojtek brought adjoining tracts. At that time they both lived near the Mattis Cemetery, miles from Granger, Texas, toward Taylor and near the San Gabriel River. John Poncik bought land from the W. C. Sparks Ranch, where the ranch headquarters was located. It wassa, historical landmark. W. C. Sparks came from Tennessee to help Austin and, f Robertson colonize the 100 by 20,0 s mile grant while was still the Republic of Mexico. The grant was signed at Nacogdoches, State of Coahuila and Texas. In about 1901, Poncik and Wojtek moved on their land at Sparks.

Sometime later, the Wojtek family was down with sickness and Mr. Wojtek, with his small son, was trying to get their hay in when a rain came getting them both wet. His son became ill and died in a few days. John Poncik and his son, Louis, were the only Czech neighbors and they assisted Mr. Wojtek while he went to Holland in a wagon and brought back the coffin and a two-seated buggy which he pulled behind his wagon. They took the back seat out of the buggy and early in the morning, they placed the coffin with the boy's body where the back seat of the buggy had been and took it to the other side of Granger where they had lived since there wasn't a Czech cemetery near and when they returned, it was very late.

Sometime later the RVOS Lodge had a meeting in the old Sparks Headquarters at the John Poncik place and, after the meeting, John Poncik told the members that they should remember what happened to Mr. Wojtek and that the same could happen to any of them. He asked them to donate some money to buy a tract of land for a Czech cemetery somewhere near Holland and he put the first $25 down and all of the rest followed suit and the land was bought on the Gotch Hill near Holland and a Czech cemetery was established in 1910 by the trustees of Tyrs Lodge No. 80 of the SPJST. After the seller found out what they had bought the land for, he filed an injunction suit but, he could do nothing about it.

Lodge Tyrs got its name after the

v

12 town named Tyre, which was established 7,000 years ago, which was destroyed in a 15-year war. It was on an island three miles from the shore and it tcok many years to build a rock trestle to Tyre and then it was destroyed. The town Tyre is in Lebanon on the Mediterranean.

(Submitted by Bro. R. W. Cervenka) (Editor's Note: Please read. Brother Cervenka writes that they had met in Holland with the Czech National Cemetary Committee and have decided to try to make it a prepetual care cemetery. They hope that as many of the descendants of the people buried there as possible will be present at the next meeting which will be announced. We could not print the enclosed map, however, it will be explained at that meeting. They are planning to expand the cemetery by trying to purchase two more acres, since the Highway took a part of the cemetery. The history of Lodge No. 80, Holland on page 20 of the convention issue, June 5, 1968, shows that the charter members of the lodge were: The Felcman family, Poncik family, John Mikus family, J. R.

Reports DI IT. III ORGANIZER'S REPORT Th-e. 1970 quota is set at $7,000,000.

Our District III portion of this quota is $1,200,000. This represents an increase of $15,000 over last year's production.

If we analyze last year's production, we find that some of the lodges need more organizers. These statistics of last year's production by active organi ers show the following distribution: No. of Mem. Amount of Lodg Organizers Written Insurance 6 3 41 71,500 25 31 102,000 35 5 58 95,500 54 5 28,500 19 66 11 135 254,500 84 4 70 199,500 3 92.

We welcome these new organizers to our organizational force. Officially named as organizers of Lodge 25, Ennis is Johnie Hrabina. He has held various offices in his lodge. He has served as the second president of District III and at the present time is alternate district director. Lodge 66 also has a new organizer, Darlene Engelke, who is capably serving her lodge as financial secretary and has been very active in lodge work. Lodge 6 has recently elected John J. Mynar as organizer.

Two weeks ago I visited him to give basic instructions and found that he had already written two applications.

Last Sunday, Lodge 130 elected Norbert J. Mikulec as organizer. He has been active in his lodge and has a keen interest in lodge work.

Our experienced organizers are producing new business at a good rate for this season. Normally, January is a slow month in insurance sales. Unofficially, we show production from 21 active organizers in the amount of $109,500. The first week in February showed production from six organizers who reported no production in January, so you see, we are getting started in District 3 and we have reason to believe that organizers inactive in 1969 will start producing.

Watch for dates of beginner and refresher classes.

Fraternally yours, Alvin Nesuda, District III Organizer SP./ST---

NO. 17, NEW TjIEOR Dear Readers, After receiving the Vestnik, I was delighted to see that District I is going to Fort Parker State Park on the dates June 28 through July 1 for camp this year. It should provide a new experience for the youth of District I. for it will be our first time to go there.

Last; year, when District I went to Bastrop State Park, everyone had fun.

With a ,daily schedule, nothing could go wrong. A time slot that was nicely filled was the rest period. This gave a time to pause for a rest before continuing for the rest of the day.

The high point of our camp was the seven-mile hike the night before we left for home. Although we usually hiked in the daytime through the LODGE

VESTNfIK

camp, the nighttime made it altogether different. It also gave us a good chance to scare our youth leaders and almost everyone took advantage of this.

At our camp, only the seniors (1219 years of age) were able to go on this bike. Also, the seniors only were allowed to go to the dances that were held from 10 to 11 every night. Although we didn't have a great variety of records, we all had fun.

Of course, no camp would be complete without craft. Our craft was like the rest of the state's. Although my liquid painting was far from a masterpiece, I was very proud of it: As usual, I am sure the person Who plans our craft this year will come up with something new and different. Last year, our district was pretty well represented, but as the old saying goes, the more the merrier.' This year, let's all go to camp and make it the best ever.

Hoping to see all my friends at our next club meeting on March 8. and at the District I spring meeting on March 22, I remain.

Fraternally, Theodore Duse -

Items of interest MARKET REPORT This week's food markets will feature scattered fresh pork — 1,4 loin cut into chops, picnics, shoulder steaks and liver.

Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist at Texas A&M University, says that specials on beef cuts are scattered, too, and a check of prices between stores will be necessary to find the best value in the cuts you want.

Steaks, chuck roasts, stew meat, short ribs and ground beef will be features in various markets.

Again this week, many fryer chickens will display thrifty price tags. Egg prices, says Mrs. Clyatt, are about the same to slightly lower than a week ago.

Cheddar cheeses, cottage cheese loaves are the most outstanding dairy features. If you want to cut food costs and still provide the milk which your family needs, Mrs. Clyatt suggests changing your patterns of buying and using milk.

Buy fresh milk in multiquart containers if you can use this amount without waste. Usually, milk in a half to one gallon containers costs less a quart than in single quarts.

Oranges and grapefruit lead the list of good buys in citrus. Tangelos, tangerines, lemons D'Anjou pears, apples, bananas, strawberries and pineapples are available also.

The most economical vegetables include head lettuce, cabbage, carrots, dry yellow onions, potatoes, celery, sweet pototoe.s, turnips, acorn squash, broccoli and rutabagas.

STCONSUMER FRAUD Consumer fraud is one cause of social unrest, the president's assistant for consumer affairs recently told the Senate Consumer Subcommittee.

Mrs. Virginia Knauer was testifying for new consumer protection legislation. She said her office alone receives about 2,000 consumer complaints a month.

A new National Commission of Civil Disorders Report indicates that con-

11 sumer frustration was among the 12 most deeply held grievances which fostered discontent and disorder, explains Doris Myers, Extension home management specialist at Texas A&M University.

Consumer fraud is big business. The Food and Drug Administration conservatively estimates that a billion dollars is spent annually on worthless or extravagantly misrepresented quack devices and drugs, foods and cosmetics.

PROGRAM WILL HELP INSURE PEACH CROP Peach tree owners need to Opal a program of regular spraying to %insure a good summer crop, according to Jerral D. Johnson, Extension plant pathologist at Texas A&M University.

The plant specialist says that two diseases can strike blooming peach trees this spring; and improper protection can result in a complete crop lailure. Peach leaf curl is a ftmgal disease that overwinters in ,`i• the peach buds. As the buds open, the fungus causes a puffy appearance and the leaves have a yellow to reddish color.

The disease should hit trees in South Texas within the next two weeks and begin in North Texas about mid-March.

Spray treatment now should be either with Bordeau Mixture or fixed copper in combination with a dormant oil spray for scale insects.

After the leaves open, Johnson says to spray with ferbam at the rate of one and one-half tablespoons per gallon of water. The fixed copper treatment should not be used after leaf opening because of possible burning.

Another possible problem is brown rot on the swelling peach bud. The best treatment is spraying with wettable sulfur. Failure to spray results in blossoms that take on a brownish, water-soaked appearance and die. The young terminals of limbs also die back.

Johnson says the proper chemicals can be obtained at most local feed stores or nursery centers. He adds that spraying for both diseases should continue at two to three week intervals until harvest.

RICE RIDDLE What is the difference between long grain and short grain rice? It's not a riddle but it is a common puzzler to many food shoppers.

Long grain types of rice, explains Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist, separates into

individual grains after cooking.

Short grain, varieties are best for puddings, croquettes and rice rings because they stick together.

Whatever type, the specialist advises not to wash or rinse away valuable vitamins and minerals in rice before or after cooking.

Rice keeps best in a tightly closed glass or metal container. Cooked grains may be refrigerated and kept covered for a week.

FERTILIZE FARM PONDS NOW

Dwane Smith, fisheries biologist, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, advises that now is the time to fertilize farm fish ponds.

If fertilizer is to be applied to ponds, the job should be started in March and ended, not later that May — before the growth of native water vegetation begins. Fertilization will stimulate plankton growth causing increased turbidity which slows weed growth.

Smith says, it is also important to complete the job before warm weather in order to prevent possible fish kills. Extremely hot, cloudy days can cause a die off of an algae bloom created by a fertilization program. Should such a condition occur the decomposing plants would deplete the dissolved oxygen from the water, thus causing the fish to die by suffocation.

According to Smith, a good rule of thumb is to use the same type and amount of fertilizer that is applied to the adjacent land.

The methods of, application vary. A floating raft which permits the wave action to gradually wash it into lake may be utilized. Some of these rafts are anchored. Others are permitted to float free and are driven by the wind over the area to be fertilized.

Satisfactory results may be obtained by dumping the materials into the water at one or more locations. Currents in the water gradually dissolve the fertilizer.

—SPJSTKNOW PESTICIDES AND HOW TO USE THEM

When properly handled and applied, pesticides provide an effective and inexpensive means for minimizing and controlling the damage and discomfort caused by pests in the home.

Proper use, points out Dr. Jack Price, Extension leader-agricultural chemicals, is more easily achieved if the user has certain basic information about chemicals, formulation equipment, ap-

plication, handling procedures, storage and risposal.

Organic and inorganic compounds are used for pest control; however, organic chemicals are the major source for insecticides. Organic materials are also used as herbicides and even metal containing organic compounds are used in fungicides. Plant derivatives are also used as pesticides. Therefore, says Price, it is important to recognize that many different chemicals are used as pesticides and that different products may re quire different use procedures.

Pesticides are available single or in combination with other chemicals.

Formulations include emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, dusts and granules. Dusts and fine sprays are generally more susceptible to drift and if this is a problem, granules may be the formulation of choice if the desired pest control can be obtained.

Wettable powders, continues Price, may be less hazardous than formulations containing oil if protective measures are less than optimum. An oil soluble formulation is in many cases more easily absorbed through the skin that water soluble formulations or wettable powders that are mixed with water. In all cases, cautions Price, select the pesticides recommended for a specific use by a competent authority and follow label directions to the letter.

When pesticides must be mixed, do it in the open or in a well ventilated area, advises the specialist. Avoid spilling or splattering the pesticide and use special containers for mixing and use them for no other purpose, he adds.

Wear natural rubber gloves when handling concentrates and other protective equipment as may be specified by label instructions. Maintain application equipment in good condition and always handle it with the same care the pesticide itself, advises Price.

Accidental home poisoning are a serious problem and in a majority of cases children under five years of age are involved. The home, says Price, contains an arsenal of potentially dangerous chemicals which include medicines, silver polish, detergents, moth balls, petroleum solvents, cleaners, and pesticides to mention a few.

Storage of chemicals, out-of-reach o ehildren, preferably should be under lock. Storage should also be away from food, either human or animal,

and in an area of little traffic.

On disposal, Price says, do not save or reuse empty pesticide containers, proinptly dispose of them. Do not puncture pressurized containers. Do not toss them into a fire; they can explode and may cause bodily injury or start fires. Wrap the empty containers, including bags and cartons, in heavy layers of news-paper or other paper. If trash collection is available, deposit them for trash removal. Otherwise, crush metal containers and break those made of glass; then take them to a public dump, or better, bury them at least 18 inches deep in a olive where they will not contaminate.„ 'a water source.

Regulatory surveillance programs, total diet studies and monitoring programs (soil and water) are utiliz ed throughout the nation to insure that pesticides are being properly and safely used. Pie sure that pesticici,si are being Properly and safely used. Tie sure, concludes Price that yoip home measures up to the same standard.

FOOD MARKET .13.ORT

Mrs. Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension consumer marketing specialist; has one reminder for orange buyers: you get about as much juice for the price from small oranges as from large oranges.

January through May is orange and grapefruit season in Texas: the high vitamin C, low caloric citrus are most abundant now.

Other good food values this week, the Texas A&M University specialist says, include apples, tangerines, bananas, potatoes, head lettuce, celery, cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, dry yeloniors„ eggplant and rutabagas, At the been counter, prices generally are the same. This week most markets feature round steaks and roasts, ground beef, stewmeat, arm and blade pot roasts, and steaks and beef and calf liver.

Mrs. Clyatt reports that best retail hams, picnics, end-cut loin roasts and pork values will be on hams, canned chops, shoulder roasts and steaks and pork liver.

Fryers remain in plentiful supply at low prices. Frozen turkeys and turkey parts are reasonably priced.

Egg supplies are ample but still priced on the high side. Grade A large size eggs continue to offer the best quality and economy at the egg coma.-

Kdy2 naopak pozorujeme nap •. muzea v Praze — a vzpomerime tu, abychom citovali dva velmi odligne ptipady. Narodni galerii nebo vYstavu es. tapiserie (pozn. Carlos Arean se zde zmiriuje o vYstave, kte-

Ve vzorovych muzeich v Praze nebylo nic ponechano nahode, a neni to volt, kterY zachrariuje umeni, ale ,urneni je tam 2ivotem a harmonicky se s nim poji."

Ve stfedu 18. fmora 1970 ovgem tak jednoducha, nebot' hlavni east souboru predstavuje Skolni drobotina a ta nemirte S'koltt zanedbavat. dt —SPJ STZA PLUHEM V. Javokicka, Roman Pokraeovani "Celej milostpan", naznala pani baba, ae deck° jeSle nebylo vykoupano, ani odka neotviralo, jen pusu vklijak pitvorne "Kluk?" podivil se Zatopa, ale nebylo to zklamani, co se v torn zvolani zra'Clio. Mel radost, te ma ut syny dva.

Cot, kdyby jeden nebyl k obchodu? Nu, ted' si unite vybrat.

Ale, LiduSka byla smutna. Ono snila o netnem stvotenieku, dceruke, o krasnych S'ateekach, jicht ji naSije cele spousty, o jemnem vyS'ivani a krajkach a zatim zase hosik, jean t Zatopa koupi IccAenou zasterou, jako vezme ho do dilny a pkivede weer umazaneho od olejt1 a lakU. Mdle se uchYlila k nemu, kdyt k posteli pristoupil smutne opetovala jeho usiney. "Tys tu nemohl chvili poekat —" fekla s pflostkenou vYeitkou, "jen jsi odekl a ua to bylo."

"Vtdyt' tu byla maminka", zkusil to, omlouvat se a zaroveri ji chlacholil, ``a ja jsem ti mak) platnY. ViS", jak jsem rozeilenY a neobratnY!" "Ale je, bych piece byla rada, kdybys byl syndeka vital na svet" vyeitala 7,1101711 a slzy mela, ye blase. Zitale jak pkijde nemoc --" "E jdi mi nekde", kekla Liduke Wave "mit tu mute nad sebou. NdA tatik nikde u toho nebyl a ja to ani nechtela. Co mi byl platnej, sama jsem ho posilala."

Potom stall vAichni nad vaniekou, v nit se kloueek mrskal a na cele kolo se rotktieel, bezzubou pusinku pitvorne Zatopa mel radost, jako b y to byl prvni syna kdyt privedl Pepieka, detinsky s nim malinkeho bral a ukazoval mu, jak malinke ma rueieky. KIucina velikou radost, hnedle prines1 malinkemu pino s yYch hraeek a chtel, aby si s nim sel hrati. Jenom ho zaraklo, ze maminka lei a nebylo konce vyptavani, proe a co se ji stalo a co tu chce ta cizi pani.

Zatopa nemel ani chuti na veeeri a kclyZ propustil lidi z tovarny a presvedell se, ze motory jsou k poslarri zcela piipraveny a bezvadne zabaleny, pfikl do bytu a ud zde zustal.

Serb si a Lidu§ky a jak to mival rad, predl dalekosahle plany do budoucna sy Ylch synech a priznal se tchyni, Ze ted' bode .jeSta pilneji pracovat, aby obema pripravil pohodlnou budoucnost a jistou existenci.

Lidaka poslouchala site take, ale tvarila se mdle. Plany muZovy ji phpadavaly prilis prakticke a vSedni; v nich jest kus idealu a cela jeho dutomu nerozumela.

"Jen kdyti vam da, Pan Bin h vAem zdravi", povidala panimama, kdyt kloudata usnula a take na ni ut S. la drimota "nebo, vSecko se dari, je-li elo yek zdrav, le jak prijde nernoc —" "Budeme hleclet, abychom si zdravi uchovali", pravil Zatopa a pkipadalo mu, te jest vSechno v jeho rukou, jak spokojenost, tak zdravi a cela budoucnost rodiny. Ve sve podnikavosti a sebeveciomi byl jist, ze vse si zakidi a vk take zUstane takovYm, jakYm jest.

Smutku Lidukina si nevAimal nepozoroval ho — nenapadlo mu, to by ji been mohlo rmoutit. Kdyt kl do druhello pokoje ku spani, polibil ji na Usta a vzpomnov pri tom, jak to mivaji ckna.ti mutt ye zvyku, na vec zcela vSedni, po yedel ji: "Tak jsem prijal toho intenYra yedrala, za neft u mne orodoval Slavek.

Od patnacteho bude u mne zamestnan."

Lidugka to vyslechla chladne, ale panimama se zaradovala: "No, vid g, Jeniku, to se'S hodnej, to se Slavovi za ycleei'S — von touZil, tomu Bolkovi to k vdli uclelat!" rani LicluSika podrimovala a a vedlej Aiho pokoje neslo se sem odmere chrapani Zatopovo, ale panimama, j6rnocItila se za Stesti syYch kleeela.

Krtiny u Zatopti byly slavne. Tovarnik mel z druhorozeneho syna prave takdvou raciest jak a prveho a poradal pravou slavnost. Na ten den zastavil praci, ac jindy se mu jednalo o kaZdou hodinu a zaplatil delnictvu pine piva.

Stary Kment prijel za kmotra a dal sluSnY dar do vinku, kterY Zatopu opravdove rozradoval a vSichni byli v dobre a vesele mike. LiduLca ut trochu pkechazela po pokojich a byla take veseld. elovek se musi se v§im smikit a poteSit se, byt' i mnohe bylo nutno otelet. Tak otelela i s ykij sen o dceruke a k potek marnineine, 'te to bude u nich prave asi jako doma, napked dva hoSi a potom dcera, se spokojene usmala. Pki tom velkam strojeni a peeeni na krti-

27 ny poznala zase slast bohatstvi a tkSila se z toho vSeho, co se mohlo strojit a chystat, to netl'eba tolik poeitat.

Jenom jedno ji na srdci letelo a to ehtela v ten slavnY den, pri vSeobecne slayne nalade, na muiti vybojovat. Kdyti k ni pkiSel toho krasneho rana a radostne se ptal, opravdu-li ut bude vstavat a citi-li se dosti silnou a zdrayou, chytila ho za rukav a pritahla ho k sobe: "Jendo, prosirn te, udelej mi neco k vuli —" tadala ho a prosila vice krasnyma oeima net. slovy: to mi za toho syna nem da y — a —" "Selmielco", zasmal se, "bojiA se, abych ti nezUstal dlouho dlutenV Nute, chci se starati o koupi nejakeho sluArieho, menSiho auta, jimt budeA moci treba denne zajeti do MokrYch Dvord, aniz bys zameLcala mnoho syYch hospodyfiskYch povinnosti."

"0 ne, Jendo", zvolala mlada pani a zasmala se. Auto bylo tit dam) jejim snem, ale ona se take nevzdavala touby po prisne sebeicazni a chtela se odkikat tak drahe radosti.

"Moje prosba to daleko nebude tolik stati, ba nebude to stall nit."

Chytila se ruky mantelovy a pfitisIda jemnou tvatieku k jeho ruke.vu.

"Vid', to mi uclelaA k vuli, co budu od tebe chtit?" doptavala se a jeji nyly strachern a dtverou.

Jak by ji neslibil? Privinul ji k so-. be a usmal se jako na dite: "Jenom rekni, dnes ti vypinim vkchno. Chce'S-li, otevri spY.,irnu a vydej vSechny zasoby s yYm delnickYm chranenkann, ja nereknu ani slova!"

"Ani tank noladain„Tendo", povidala Liclka a dndavala si odvahy. "Chct jen, abys povolal do prace Svetlika.

VIA, jakou melt v zime bidu a jak Svetlikova prosila?"

Potech prvYch slovech Lidu§einYch seykel Zatopa sane rty a ocivratil se na polo, na cele mel chmuru jako mrak, v nitru mu vstala skoro zlost, "Svetlika!" zvolal note a tinku bezmala odstreil. "Prot zrovna o Svetlika maS" takovou peel? NeviS', ze jsem ho nepropustil jenom pro kradeZ uhli, ale hlavne pro jeho buriaske nazory, pro jeho ledajakou praci a znepokojo yani ostatnich?"

"Ale to byla jen zlost, to jsi ho vyhnal", namitala LiduSka bojacne; pobledla a do oei ji vskaily slzy, "proto mluvil proti tobe jiste to nemyslil tak zle. PovaL Jendo, ma 7 deti nou jim hledi do staveni."

Ted" r3 jara dostane praci vAude", kekl Zatopa revlidne a postavil se k oknu, zady do pokoje, "ViS, Lidko, vse®

28 chno bych ti udelal, vSechno, ale tohle ode rime neladej! Ja ho muslin potrestat na, ocistraSeni drultYch. Takoveho eloveka nemohu miti y e sve dilne! A ty ostatne ani neviS, jaky to je zbujnik, co vSe mi navzkazoval a eim mi vyhroZoval. Chtej, cokoliv jineho dej jeho Zone penize, abych na oko o tom neveal, ale nelaciej ode nine, abych ho vzal do prate. Tak se nepokotim, abych prod jests vzkazovai!" ZO.topa niluvil prudce a to se jeSte nasil m umirdoval. Zaclost lenina ho silne pabourila.

"Penize", rekla LiduSka mclle a spustilit ruce podle tela. Vypadala, jako vtelene zklamani, "ty ji nepomohou.

Jest pin g dluhd a ad je zaplati, niaeho ji nezbude, ale ztalY plat, ten by je spasil."

"Mohl si ho zvolal Zatopa zlostne.

"A ty mluviS o pokoreni, Jendo?

Spasitel rekl: te nekkdo ye tvar nastav i druhou!"

LicluSka myslila, ze teini slovy mule pohne a ukroti, ale docilila praveho opaku. Zlost jeho vyvrcholila ye vztek.

Odvratil se oct ni beze slova, Sel yen a bouchnul dvermi. A LiduSka potom useciave plakala, kdyl odeSli vSichni do kostela a citila se v to chvili velmi DeAt'astnou.

Potom vSak vzpomnela na sve krest'ariske zasady, ktere prve Jemlovi cloporueovala a snalila se sebrati vSecku silu a tvariti se klidne.

Kdyl se vraceli s det'atkern z kostela, privedl Zatopa k dopoledni svaeine take inlenYry ze sve tovarny.

Kremlieka a Veigner byli u2 delSi dobu v Kotlinacz zamestnani a zylaSt; Veigner byl u Zatopy velice obliben. Byl dosud svobodny a Zatopa ho eital jako do rodiny. Krernlieka byl lenatY a titba jeho pani nekdy len& tovarnikove davala znati, a jest vzdelanejSi a z mesta, vychazel Zatopa i s Kremliekou velmi dobre. LnlenYr byl u2 starSi a hledel si sve povinnosti prave jako Zatopa. Oasto zUstali spolu v tovarne pies put noc, zkouSeli-li nejaky novY stroj.

VESTNIK promluvil, z eehol pritomni rozumneli jen, le vlast potrebuje syny a le budoucnost naroda leli v rukou matek, Kremlieka stisknul ji ruku ponekud kamaraclky, jak dovolovalo pratelstvi a dloulaa znamost.

Vedral zastal nemY, jenoni se znovu uklanel a kdyl mu, trochu ostYchave ruku podala, sklonil se hluboce a ruku ji polibil. LicluSka se sane zapalila, stahla ji zpet a schovala do ras syYch svetlYch vkusnch :cattl. At' ji dali valelani, i necht' byla velmi bobatou pani, piece zdstala LiduSka venkovankou a ostrilenost pani, treba nernajetnYch, ale v roC.'ste vychovanYch si neosvojila nikdy.

Ted' upadla do rozpakd a nevedela, karn ma pohledet.

Zasedli ku stolu a panimama zastavala hostitelku. Zatopa rozhodne nechtel, aby se ZenuSka unavovala dal o to tchYni. A panimama mela z toho pino radosti, toeila se cite a chva.lila si, jak se ji to varilo a peklo, kdy2 je vSeho, vAude (lost.

LiduSka byla osmutnela, ale to zvYSovalo jeji pitvab. Byla jemna a Stillla zas, jako by to ani nebyl opravdou, ul ma dva zclatne kluky, a zajimave kroulky kolem oei tinily ji velmi neobyeejnou. Vlasy rnela ueesane jenom Iiladce a drobouSka ouSka se zlatYmi Coekami malYch nauSnic al smane se k hlave tlaeila.

Zatopa seal naproti a treba si easto neuvedomoval, jak se mu Lidka libi a jake jsou k ni jeho city, dnes si priznaval, le jest stale hezei a ze ji vldy vice miluje. Ba, dnes citil sve Stesti zcela zretelne. Jest dosti St'astnYch chvil v livote, ale takovych, abychom si sve Stesti uveclomovali, aby bylo prim() viditelne a makatelne, aby bylo hluene a jasave, takovYch neni mnoho. Zatopa ted' sve §-testi vial a citil; byla to jeho price, jeho tlena a jeho deti. Zkusil to, pousmat se na Lidku, aby ji sva Stesti nazna.eil, ale ona zavadila o neho neteenYma, unylYma oeima. Vypadalo to, jako by se ji stYskalo.

Koval.la s Kremliekou a chvilemi i Veignera do hovu pribirala.

InZ'en3"7r Vedral byl tu teprve nekolik InlenYr Vedral mluvil se starYm dna a poeinal si dosud, jako cizinec.

Uvecil se veltim vetSi. I jini uznavaji LiduSeinu krami uhlazene a kdyl mu byla predstasu! Ale hned si u.vedomil, ze je jeho vena, colada pani, uklonil se ji hluboce zinka smutna, a bylo mu toho lito. Ne, a uctive. Oba inlenyri blahoprali ji k v dneSni vesele nalade nechtel, aby narozeni synadka, Veigner nee° Lie byla LiduSka smutna. Zarmoutil se sko-

Ve stfeclu 18, unora 1970 ro, e ji udelal bolest, vAdyt' to piecc nechtel a nemel to ani udelat. Ve vSeobecnem veseli a radosti zUstal take tichy a zamlklY. Za to pantata Kmentu byl ye svem livlu. Vypil dye stopeeky dobreho derveneho vina a ze ho u Kmentti nebYvalo v zasobe, nebyl mu zvyklY a ono mu rozvazalo jazyk. liovoril hluane a vesele, tak vesele, ba skoro rozpustile, az mu to panimama bezmala zazlivala.

KY rarach to do neho vjel, myslila si, mluvi vie nel doma o posviceni? A zclalo se ji to al hriSnym, nedavno pohrbival syna, nejstarsiho syna, svou pYchu a nadeji! V panimame bolest jests ani nespala, natoZ by byla uZ nekam odletela on si tu poeina jako —Koneene vSak mu to odpouRela a uznavala, ze steskem a pladem u2 nikdo Vojtecha nezvedne a nevzkiisi. On iiz hnije a tli a jeho duSe • • nu -- panimama se teSila, le je take v nebi u vSelijakYch slavnosti a 4,jiste se take veseli.

Prato se ted' uptimne rozesmala nejakemu vtipu pantatovu, kterY nebyl zrovna jemny, ale ze byl struene pronesenY, libil se a pani se chute small.

Bra" se dostali v povidani ad do valky, jak to zhusta bYva. Mu2i se nen-whoa stale jeSte nasytiti valee'neho poprijdou na prettes vS'elijake behy, easto i nemane a nepravdepodobne, jiml oni koneene sami veil a delaji ze sebe radi velke hrdiny, treba meli v onech easich tak Indio odvahy.

Kremlieka slouLl u pionertl a mel plno zku§enosti, ktere byly straAlive i smerSile zaroveti.

Pantata Kment vedel vklijake behy, ktere se mu prihoclily v dobach rekvisic a daval je hluene k lep§imu, ba, cblubil se, jak podvadel eetniky i starostou, ba, jak se dali v§ichni pytlikein mouky podplatit a umleet. Pantata se rad pochlubil, to je uz v selske povaze a proto ani tou chloribou dnes nesporil.

Panimama se trochu durdila a trochu se s nim smala a koneene byla rdda, le se vSichni zasmeji a poveseli.

Inkmir Vedral opravdu east° zaletal oeima k dorn.aci pani, kterou jeji bledost a 'easna doba pa prolitem utrpeni einila tak zajimavou a zvlaStni.
