• • Saturday, July 4, is 194 years from the date of July 4, 1776 when the 13 states or colonies here in America (called the United States of America) declared their independence from the King and Great Britain. Many lives were lost then in the war for that independence and many since in the preservation of it. By the preceding editorial we can see that our boys are still losing their lives at the present time. On this July 4th, let us pause long enough to realize what our flag and independence in reality means to each and everyone of us. As fraternalists, let us realize that we can overexercise our rights in our democracy by being too egotistic, overbearing, or conceited, and trample on the democratic rights of others. It is easy to he that way and we are only to be pitied if we do not recognize those faults in ourselves.

The editor wishes to thank Slater Sophie Mynar, secretary of Lodge Pokrok, Texasu No. 1 in Fayetteville for the photo and assistance and the SPJST PR office for the information.

THE le

JULY, 4th „ION

There were no ineworks or patriotic oratory during rhe first official Independence Day celebrated in the United States.

Instead, the occasion was marked by prayers, psalm singing and, finally, when dusk began to settle, a procession by candlelight through the town street=s.

The Mace of Amyl -ice 11174 Fourth of July festivities; wa3 nalem, and the year was 1783, The \ear had stopped and formal peace was imminent. North Carolina's Gov. Alexander Martin issued a proclamation, "enjoining all the good citizens Of this state to set apart the said day (July 4) from bodily labor, and employ the same in devout and religious exercise."

Yet, the only North Carolinians to respond to the prochunation wore rusalibers of a PraCS sect, (lie MOra I a 11 BIT (broil, who had eE-;tabfished a COMM tinal,s-tyle society in Salem. The ceremonim which began with a trombone band playing chorales through the town's streets, included church services - morning afternoon, and evening.

Now a re-enactment of the twilight procession that climaxed that first Fourth of July fete is sponsored at Salem by the Old Salem Foundation, a non-profit organization which has overseen restoration of trio early Am e rican settlement along lines similar 4) Cull The partieipants, mostly lentil the,, Winston-Salem area, are dressed in authentic costumes of the period, and before nouscostumed spectators, they retrace the route of their ancestors.

Carrying candlelit 1..nerns, they segregate themselves by sex, as the original Salemites did, singing antiphonally - the men intoning the first line of a chorale and the women answering with the second.

LADIES CIRCLE, FORT WORTH Dear Members: The Ladies Circle will have their regular meeting on Thursday, July 9;;.. at 10:30 a.m, in the National Halla We: didn't plan a meeting in July and Au, gust but we didn't have a meeting in June, since we were host to the Krou-. zek Ceskych Zen from Dallas, together with the Friendship Circle for Sokol Hall. We have no hostesses for the meeting. We are asking the ladies to please bring a covered dish.

We are pleased that., the Dallas ladies enjoyed our hospitality and hope they enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed having them. They are all so friendly and happy. We hope they visit us again in the near future.

We wish to thank our Sister Tillie

VtS TNiK Gillis and her husband for furnishing all the carnations to decorate the tables and for our visitors and also for us local members. It was so thoughtful of you.

I especially enjoyed seeing the Dallas ladies since I still remember most of them from the time we lived in Dallas. At that time most of them were young ladies and now they are mothers and grandmothers. I can't name all of them, since my memory is failing, but I'm always glad to see Miss Agnes Houdek; she always looks so pretty (just like those dolls she has), Mrs. Hemzal and her daughter, Mrs. Houzvicka, Mrs. Kopecek, Kartous, Nestrojil, and Janecka. Mrs. Janecka is touring Czechoslovakia at this time.

This is her first visit there. She was born here as were her parents and I believe her grandparents, also. She is the sister of Mr. John 0. l3ubak, president of the Czech Day Festival for the Texas State Fair in Dallas.

I wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Ludyig Toberny and Mrs. Bozena Valcik for the greetings and best wishes. Sorry you couldn't come with the rest of them and we hope and pray that you are in good health by now and stay that way.

Our sistor, Anna Paprskar, had the misfortune of falling in her home and Cutting her forehead. The doctor took ten stitches to sew it up and she also has bruises on her body. Llie is confined to her home. Mrs. Paprskar is 85 years old and we sure wish her a .Medy and complete recovery. We will miss you in cur meetings.

Don't forget our next meeting; We have several gifts from the Dallas Krouzek and we have to decide what to do with them. I wish to congratulate the Dallas ladies, for being among the first to aid the Lubbock tornado victims. They are always giving aid to some worthy cause.

I'm wishing you all a pleasant summer and hope we see all of you in September. Good luck and good health to you all.

I understand that through the fifth inning we were leading by a score of 3 to 1 — suddenly we went into a tailspin, puAled a fo,„w boners and were behind. All I can say is that, in all the games it is different players Who make the errors, never the same guys. Lionel Schulz was aaain on the mound and allowed 7 hits, 3 walks and struckout 5 batters.

LeadinK hitters were Connie Brennan with a double and a single, Leonard Drozd with a triple, Pete Thomas with a sin gl e and a walk, Lionel Schulz with a s i ngle and a s;icr) flee, Albin Vrana with a single. jock Scott had 2 walks and Tub Warren had one.

be familiar with the safety precautions, however, in case a tornado does approach.

7. Keep tuned to your radio or television station for the latest information when tornado warnings have been issued. Do not call the weather bureau, except to report a tornado, as your call may tie up telephone lines urgently needed to receive special reports, or to relay messa g,egs to radiosctations for broadcast to thousands in the critical area. there The Texas Safety Association also says there is sometimes confusion over terms used in the reporting of tornadoes by the weather bureau.

The bureau, says the association, issues "tornado forecasts" for a relatively large area in which weather condition will be favorable for one or more tornadoes to develop.

A "tornado alert" occurs when one or more weather stations locate an area of turbulence or cloud formations which indicate the probability of a tornado.

"Tornado warnings" are announcements that a tornado. has been sighted and reported. The warnings tell where and when the tornado has been reported and lists the names of communities toward winch the tornado is moving.

These warnings cover a short period of time, usually less than an hour, and are for the purpose of advising persons in the path of the storm to take immediate safety precautions. qPJ.IT

AVOID THE SUN, FISH AT NIGHT

When the summer sun makes fishing uncomfortable, and waterskiers are in command of the waterways, many bass fishermen give up all hopes of a cool and peaceful fishing spot.

Anglers 'should not abandon hope before they consider the alternative to glaring sun and racing boats -- fish-. ing at night, assording to Robert Sinclair in the April issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine.

While fishing for bass at night is not a new technique, it has only recently become popular with the average bass angler. Professional guides and other experts have known and used the method for years with good results With increasing emphasis on wateroriented sports activities, night fishing is likely to increase still further in popularity as more and more bass fishermen shun our public reservoirs on hot midsummer days and during

peak hours of water sports in favor of a cooler and less crowded fishing period.

Many theories abound as to when is the best time to 'fish at night. Some anglers prefer the period from sunset to midnight, others fish only from midnight until dawn and still others fish only after the moonrise or moonset.

Many fishermen like to start night fishing at dusk so their eyes adjust gradually to the increasin': darkness enabling them to see well at full dark.

The more rugged types simply carry plenty of black coffee and fish all night. Regardless of what is actually the best time, advocates of each fishing period catch enough black bass to keep them set on their favorite time of night to fish.

In the interest of safety and compliance with state boating regulations, proper lights are required when moving to and from fishing area. After you reach a likely spot, however, all lights should be turned down to minimum safety requirements. Should anolner boat approach, quickly flip on to maximum capacity to prevent ;tie collision or swamping.

One popular type of lure used for nightfishing is a topwater plug with a dark surface. While at first the advisability of using a dark lure at night may seem questionable, remember that the fish will not be looking at the plug . as humans would, dark against darkness, but will spot the lure as a dark, If mg- object cunt rasted against a. lighter background —_the sky.

While many prefer surface plugs, other anglers choose underwater lures for night fishing. Those with large spinning blades seem to be the most effective type. An endless assortment. of "safety-pin" type lures are the ones most often used. One characteristic common to these lures is that their spinning blades create underwater turbulence and send out vibrations which bass seem to find irresistible.

Becoming increasingly popular with nighttime bass fishermen is the plastic worm. This lure, which has practically revolutionized baSs fishing during the last decade, can be effectively fished either near the surface or on the bottom with excellent results. It is relatively easy to understand how a bass feeding in the shallows can locate a noisy surface lure or take a spinner-type lure fluttering by its nose at

Wedrzesdny..rally 1, 4970 mid-depths, but it is difficult to comprehend how a bass can find a pencilsized black worm slinking silently along the lake bottom at night. They do however, and with enough regularity that worm fishing for bass at night has become a very poular and highly competitive sport among fishermen on some of the newer East I, as reservoirs, noted not only for their big bass but also for, their brush-filled waters.

Here the plastic worm is especially effective, since it can be tossed into the shoreline or submeri ,:i . d vegetation with equal abandon, writes dinclair, When rigged as is weedless Ife, the artificial worm will rarely hang up.

But if it does and it cannot be released after a few jerks, break it off. Plastic worms are so inexpensive that a dozen can be purchased for i he price of a good surface plug.

Prior to a night fishing lc p, unless you are already very familiar with the lake, or plan to fish with someone who is, it would be wise to sur.vey the lake and probable fishing territory during daylight hours. Locate and learn landmarks and other feature's which will be recognizable in the limited night light, Sinclair suggests.

In this era of ever-increasing daytime activity on our public lakes, the average fisherman sometimes feels that he is limited as to tune and space in which to enjoy his specialty. As Populations continue to rise and as more time becomes available for leisure activities, there will lit' inure demands for use of available recreational areas. This may inean that we may not always be able to do things exactly as we have in the past. But wily not try something different and exciting? Brew up a pot of good black coffee, call tin your fishing partner and head out to your favorite lake for an experience you're not likely to forget — bass fishing at night.

--SPJSTHOW TO BEAT THE HEAT

Summertime!

But the living isn't always easy in hot weather, but those wise to the ways of summer comfort n a.ri make it easier.

Ages ago, desert "foxes" learned that loose-fitting, light-colored clothing- was a must for survival in areas where a "cool" clay is still in the low 100s. And the English, who colonized India, gave us another, helpful hint -they learned that small quantities of citrus not only quench thirst but re-

Wednesday, July 1, 1970 duce excessive liquid intake. Loosefitting clothing and citrus juices are as effective today as they were hundreds of years ago. And more sophisticated means of dealing with hot weather are now being used.

Did you know, for example, that moving houseplants out of doors during the day can reduce indoor humidity? Or that the hottest time in your house is likely to be six or eight hours after the sun has reached its zenith?

Housework is best done in the early hours of the morning, as is the practice in the sweltering nations of the Middle East, or late at night. To keep from overheating, doctors recommend a lower calorie consumption during the summer, and experts say a good deodorant will not only cool, but prevent uncomfortable stickiness.

Another "summer cum laude" way of cooling it is to make sure that the heat penetrating the interior of your home is kept to a minimum. This means protecting exposed glass areas Whh awnings, roof overhangs and other devices. It also means providing adequate ventilation and liberal insulation of roofs, walls and other exposed areas.

Nowhere are people doing more about the weather today than in the American home, where millions of families enjoy the many benefits of air conditioning. Their reasons for purchasing air conditioning units generally include more sleep, more restful sleep, lower temperature and humidity, better appetites, less housework, relief from allergy problems, more family "togetherness," less noise from outdoors and less money spent on outside entertainment in the summer.

Most houses soak up heat like a sponge by late afternoon. If you wait until then to turn on an air conditioner, the load will be more than it can efficiently cope with, and it will labor for hours to catch up. Be sure to turn your air conditioner on relatively early in the day. For maximum efficiency, doors and windows should be kept closed and shielded from direct sunlight. Whether or not you have an air conditioner, you can keep summer humidity levels down by venting other appliances and restricting moistureproducing activities such as showering, bathing, laundering, mopping, and scrubbing to early morning or late evening hours.

Comfort in your home is an impor-

—SpJSTA MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

OF THE FBI

The 19th Century American author J. G. Holland said, "Laws are the very bulwarks of liberty; they define every man's rights, and defend the individual liberties of all men." These words are most appropriate as we celebrate the 13th annual observance of law Day, USA, May 1, 1970.

This year's theme, "Law—Bridge to Justice,' reaffirms the nation's commitment to our Constitution. Our country's government was founded on the rule of law. One of the hallmarks of our democratic system of government is that it permits protest and dissent. It provides also for the orderly redress of grievances. The law then is a major factor in keeping our society's conduct within the boundaries of propriety.

Hecently, we have witnessed shocking attempts to mock our system of law. Some individuals on trial have attempted to destroy courtroom decorum and the impartial adjudication of issues with boisterous challenges, vile, snarling threats, and conduct unworthy of the most primitive of people.

They have disdainfully raised themselves above the law. Due process procedures necessary for the advancement of social prOgreSs and welfare of all are strongly rebuked by them as archaic and not suited for their own situation. Our country's growth and development are guided by the law, but they seek to overturn our society by destroying our syStem of law.

We who are entrusted with the en forcement of the law must certainly be in the forefront of those who strongly support our nation's judicial system. Keeping our conduct and performance of duty above reproach, we must help rally the entire citizenry to disclaim and reject recent outrages in the streets and in the courts against the law — the "Bridge to Justice" for all people.

National Police Week, May 10-16, is set aside by an act of Congress and by Presidential proclamation to give all those who serve the law and its enforcement a time of honor and respect. Our profession can indeed be proud that we serve our democratic way of life in such a vital role.

17 Let liberty continue to be every man's most sacred inheritance. But with every right of liberty let us remember there is a corresponding duty of citizenship. Our unswerving desire for liberty must be equaled by our support and acceptance of the responsibilities demanded of free people. The time is now — never before has the challenge been greater or the cause more just.

J. Edgar Hoover, Director Federal Bureau of Investigation --SPo ST— LEGISLATIVE REPORT

By Rep. Dan Kubiak

Since it became effective in 1875, the present Texas 'Constitution has been amended 195 times. In every regular session, with the exception of 1885, (amendments can be proposed only during regular session of the legislature), joint resolutions to amend the state's fundamental document have been introduced. The all-time record was reached in 1961 when'''108 such resolutions were introduced in the 57th Legislature. However, only 14 of these were approved by both houses and thus appeared on the ballot. The record number to reach the ballot was achieved by the 59th Legislature in 1965 which placed 27 proposals before the voters.

Our office will review for you the seven proposed constitutional amendments for consideration this year in the general election on Nov. 3, 1970.

Each of these proposals will be analyzed in these reports and arguments most commonly offered by proponents and opponents of each proposal are offered for your benefit.

Amendment No. 1, MR No. 3D ammending Article V, Section 1-a N of the Texas Constitution, relating to removal, retirement, or censure of justices, judges and justices of the peace under prescribed circumstances. The present section covers the retirement and compensation of justices and judges. The proposed amendment was drawn to enlarge the jurisdiction of the State Judicial Qualifications Commission and to enlarge its powers on censure and removal from office of all state and local justices, judges, and justices of the peace whose conduct is deemed inconsistent with the proper performance of the duties of the court.

The proposed changes would: 1) add censure to the powers of the commission, 2) extend the scope, 3) include all judges, 4) expand commission au-

thority so that it may issue a private reprimand without a hearing, 5) provide for clue process of law for all of-ticeholders named.

The 21st Amendment to the federal constitution, which repealed the 18th Amendment, became effective in December, 1933. The 44th Legislature of the State of Texas then submitted an amendment to repeal state prohibition, and it was ratified in August, 1.935.

Ve stredu 1. Cervence 1970 80.t' LeSika.r-Shiller Reunion v Bellville, Texas Roclinne sejiti dvou rozvetvenYch rodin LeSikar Shiller se konalo °pet v katolickem center v Bellvile 14. eeryna.

Na ySteva byla dosti velika a mohla byti jeSte vetk nebYti tech peti ruznYch jinYch rodinnYch sejitich v ten sarnY den konanYch. Bylo mnoho tech, kteri flanked, se podileli na jinem miste tech shromaZdenich a pak teprve prisli i na ten LeSikartiv reunion trochu pozdeji.

Prvni elovek, ktereho jsem s bratrem tam videli, byl na,A clobrY znamy Dr. J. J. Shiner z Rowena Se svou dcerou sl. Paulinou. Prekvapilo nas to nebot' pied easem byl doktor tr9 ,11.0 n o -mocenayjs kvti,Ze tam s nim ldtos sejdeme. Byl ale vesely a citil se dosti dobre na jeho 93 let.

Hned jsme se vitali s bratry 8talmachovirni a jejich detmi a take se sestry jejich pi. Sulovou z La Grange a pi. Mareshovou ze Smithville. Letos byli pritomni i sourozenci p. Karel LeSikar a sestra Rosalie z New Ulm, ktere jsme poznaii pied 3 41ety. Ze Shillerovy strany tam byly sestry; pi. Rosalie Shillerova ze San Angelo a pi.

Louise Mareshova a sl. Elizabeth Shillerova, (tuSirn, Ze vSechny jsou byvale ucitelky na odpoeinku). Pant Rosalie se horlive venuje studiu genealogie (patra, po rodokmenu) a kahlYm rokem ukazuje nova a nova "lejstra" tech neb onYch rodin jenZ ji obstarava Frantikk Silar v Csl. On je take nejakY vzdalenY pribuznY teto rodiny a je s nimi ve stale korespondenci; mnozi jej budou znati z jeho prispe ykil v easopise "Hospodar".

Nejdrive pied obedern byla podana modlitba a pak kaMY si Sel vybrat z tech dobrot, kterych bylo piny still a posadil se ke stolu. My jsme men jako stolni sousede aZ z Houstonu p.

Jamese Chernoskeho, syna to byvaleho predsedy SPJST soudce C. Chernoskeho, a jeho sestrenku a jejiho manikla pi. Frances a Frank JoZienvi z Rosenbergu a pekne jsme se havili vespolek.

Tito -Li pay se neclavno navratili z cesty po Evrope. (i v asl. byli); take byli i v Israeli a jinde. Pravili, ze videli mnoho zemich a krasnYch most ale Zadne mesto pry se nevyro yna krasne Froze "stoveZate"! Pan Jo2ie jest pry po otci Jihoslovan — mluvi vSak krasne Cesky. Pani JoZieova, jest bYvala Cadilova a matka byla sestrou C. Cernoskeho.

Po obede se vSichni seradili a jeden clruhernu se predstavili a odkud jsou.

Ve streda 1. Cervence 1970 Na me se ovSern innohY dival a pii tom si myslel: z ktere pak strany je ena pribuzna? Nejsem s nimi nikterak spriznend ale rodiny Stalmachovy me laskave zvou kaZdoroane a ja, se priznarn, ze tam rada jdu mezi nimi jsou vSichni tak pratelSli a mili, Clo y& se citi jako doma. 112tiij otec pochazel z toho stejneho kraje jako jejich pradedeeek Jos. L. LeSikar a ja to trochu tarn znam, prate& jsem tam byla na yStevou dvakrate a zajima me to. Nyni nam sdelila pi. Louise Mareshovd se San Angelo, Ce me a me bratry "adoptovali" a tak tedy trochu "Pathine" k °nem rodinarn a mtiZerne tarn jezdit. Je to jiste hezke od nich a teSi nas to velice.

Pak byla podand historic americke vlajky jednou diveinou (ten den byl Flag Day) a nasledovala prisaha \Ternosti vlajce americke. Na to preeteny zpravy a protokol z lonskeho roku, kdo Miem roku odeSel na yeenost a kde meli pfirtistek v rodine; kdo byl nejstarSi a kdo nejmladSi pritomen a kdo prijel z nejvzdalenejSiho rnista.

NejstarSi pritomen byl Dr. J. J. Shiller 93IetY a nejmladSi byla Janet Ternus z Austinu, (vnueka to pi. Lydie Mareshove). NejvetSi vzdalenost vykonaly rodina Hardy Stonestreet ze Salt Lake City, Utah a rodina Marshall Foresters z Jackson, Miss. (obe tyto jsou dcery pi. Lydie Mareshove ze Smithville). Take byli pritomni Joe Esterak 87 lety, Jerry Esteialk, J. F. Chupik a J. J. Stalmach (vSichni OW 3 boSi. byli 81 let mladi). Rada jsem potkala p. Chupika a pekne jsme si pahovorili, on se nedavno navratil z navStevy do Osl, a mel pekny dnani Svetove situate; i Dr. John Krouilk z Houstonu se vratil prave pied timto sejitim z Evropy a byl pritomen zaroveri s jeho bratrem Alfredem. Babicka techto hochti pi. Mary Kroulikova z Nelsonville vypravela mi, zee oYvali kdysi sousedi s decieekem LeAikarem a ze vnuci jsou k ni velmi hodni a vzali na tento reunion. Ma dobrou pamot a leccos mi povedela z minulosti.

Videli jsme peknY ruble malovanY obrazek bYvaleho domova Jos. L. L6ikara v eerinne, ktery Fr. Silar zaslal pi. R. Shillereve.

Nove zvoleni farednici pro priSti rok jsou: Ivan Leshikar predseda a Alfred Kroulik mistopreseda (oba z Hetistonu); Willie Mae Sala Oliphint tajemnice (take z Houstonu.)

Kdy2 tehdy odjeli ti prvni eleni rodin LeSikarovYch v 1851 a v roce 1853 pak Jos. Lidumil LeSikar, tu jiste si a-

VieSTNIK

ni v duchu nepomyslel, ze v to nove vlasti americke budou kdysi uctivat pamatky prvnich pionYrO, ty jejich pravnuci a prav-pravnuci. Je to ji2 117 kdy Jos. L. LeSikar s jeho dru2inou pristali v okoli Nelsonville a po mnohYch strasti a smutnYch zkuSenostich prece v roce 1854 s pomoci jeho synti postavil skromnY domek "loksak", kterY dodnes jes=te stoji. V jeho rodne vlasti eeskoslovenske by byl tento vlasteriec jiste uveznen kdyby byl se nevystehoval do Ameriky, nebot' se zaplet1 do politiky a nekdo jej chtel i zprovodit ze sveta. Reverend Jos. Bergman byl Oechem ale skrze Nernce byl nucen si jmeno zmenit aby nemel neprijemnosti a ze umel i nernecky kazat, tedy se jaksi protioukl a dostal se aZ sem do Ameriky, odkad, psal lakave dopisy do Osl. Techto dopisir a zprav se chyti Jos. L. Le‘Sikar a v roce 1853 on s rodinou a pribuznYmi se vystehovali do teto zeme. Co vS`e jim bylo proZit a vytrpet noZli si trochu pomohli a zarueili si spokojenY Zivot to vedel malokclo! Ale svoboda a klidnY zpilsob Iivota jim bylo nadevSe a easem prece uznali, ze zde v tete zemi bylo vice prilaitosti a ze ye stare vlasti by nikdy nemeli to co meli zde v zemi svobody. Letos je tomu jiz osmdesat let kdy prvni rodinne sejiti bylo konano prvni nedeli v zaki 1890 v dome Karla Le:Sikara; deti jeho pozvali sve strYce Josefa a Vince a nekolik sousedti aby pomohli oslavit narozeniny dedeeka Karla LeSlkara. Bylo to prave asi rok Po smrti jeho manZelky Rosalie Shillerove LeSikarove. Pozden i rodiny Shillerovi byli pozvani teZ a tento reunion se stal kaZdoroeni udalosti a v2dy tento cas se (jako ty viastovieky) vSichni sejdou aby udrdovali rodinne svazky a pri torn uctili pamatky tech pry-' nich pio-nYria naSeho velkeina statu Texas. Je to hezke, ze potomci rodin LeSikar-Shiller se po 80 let stale schazeji a JO, jim preji to nejlepSi do dalAich let. Take jsme byli zvani na sejiti rodin ShillerovYch v New Braunfels 21. Cervna v tamnim Landa Park, ale ac nas rodina L. Shillera z Elgin dritklive zvala, nebylo nam to mane.

Maria priStim rokem se uvidime, budem-li Zivi a zdravi. JeSte se musim zrninit, ze isme pozvali pi. Huebneroyou a jejiho manZela a pohovorili jsme s nimi. Ona nam vypravela, ze jeji matka (rozend S ' vajdova) se narodila v historickem domove LeAikarovYm pied lety a ona sama je snad take spriznena, s touto pionYrskou rodineu.

Je taky nadanou malikkou a stale neco maluje a kresli. Jeliko2 schiize ten-

SPRAVA ZPRAVA Here are 2 tricky words, both written and pronounced exactly the same, but again have 2 entirely different meanings. it is therefore important that we know how to spell the one we wish to use.

— means administration, which is a repair; or iiteans to fix or to re!: •

Lekee osminieta — Lesson 18 Correcting sonic often - made errors.

In this lesson we will deal with some errors that are frequently made by Czechs in Texas.

KDE — KAM These 2 words are probatbly misused more than any other. We bear, "Ede jedeS?" This is wrong'. To indicate the physical action of going somewhere, the word KAM is Eam jdeS; Kant jedeS? The 'word kde indicates a stationary situation, and cannot be used to indicate. physical action. Ex.: Kde to je? Kde bydlite?

Ede je nadraii? etc. And using' KAM, we say the following; Ram pojedete veeer? Kam paidete po divadle? Nam jste sli po zabave etc. All you need to reMember is 'whether wort are indieating action or not.

SEM JSEM

We call words like these homonyms; they sound the same but have entirely different meanings, In English, some homonyms are: there, their, they're bear-, bare; and close, clothes.

SEM means "here", or "to here", with ACTION, ' Ex.: Veera pzrijeli lean. Paid' sem! Dojeli Sent St'astne. All of these involved Action in coming or getting here.

JSEM means simply I am, or used With certain verbs, denotes tense, or time something happened.

Ex.:Jsem nz starSi elovek.

Jsem byl (byla) na, vOete v horach.

Jsem se mel dobre.

In speaking the above two words of sem and :kern, there is practically no recognizable difference: however, in Writing it makes all the difference in the world. One means one thing, and the other means something else.

Pokracovani Slava se rospaeite pousmal a ptal se jak urnel jeninC: "Tak jste si povidali.

"Ba Ze"l prita.kal Bolek, "mne se tak hrozne libi tva maminka, kamarade" — a vesele mu poklepal na rukav, "dej mi ji! Co bych zato dal, kdyby byla ma", dodal pohnute.

Slava se plouSmai. "qh, ja. "sem sam rad, Ze ji mom!" a p •istoupiv k mamince, zvedl jeji ruku a pritiskl ji neZne k tisttim. Panimarne vytryskly slzy. —

VIESTNIK Ten sobotni veoer ztravili u Kmentn velmi srdeene. Dolan vSechno, co jenom mlacie licit zajima a nejenom mlade zajimalo to i pantatu.

Hrali Bach a karty, povidali anekdoty a koneene se mladi mull dali do zpevu. Napred zanotoval Bclek jenom tak, jako pro sebe, ale kclyZ pantata prohlasil, ze hrozne rad posloucha zpev a muziku, svolil Bolek, aby Slava prozradil, jak rad zpiva. Prinesli kytaru a na za.hradku. Take maminku pi'izvali a dab se do zpivani. Bolek timel spoustu studentskYch, na.reclnich i slovackYch pisni a Silva, byt' u kaZde dobre neznal textu, rad mu priz yukoval. Bolek met aistY hlas — tenor -a neostYchal se, Sldva zpival druhY hlas a take se nemusil za s ytij hlas stycleti.

Slaky poslouchaly na dvore a linedie se tahla vSelijaka mladeZ za humna, zpevern privolana. Mezi ni byla Andula Riliokova, kterd by byla pro pisniekur bezela pies devet osad. Drlela se pod pall s Julkou Napravnikovolt a staly a plotu, aby je mladenci nevideli.- ,Julea byla cell. prye po lienkern studentu z Prahy, Anda zas Po jeho pisniece.

"JellSi, ten zpiva", ulevovala si, "to by byl paSijich Kristus Pan jinej, nel JarouS Malenti!".

Ve Dvorech byli sari zpevaci a pakriveskY varhanik jenom na ne spolehal. "S takovYm elovekern si zazpivat a potom trebas hned inurit", to y 'Ala ye svem umeleckem plapolu. Julea se ji smala a Lim se paksi prozradily. Slava nechal zpivani a. Set se k plotu podivat. Domnival se, Ze tam uyidi Manu a byl trochu zklartran. Ne pro sebe, bezpeeil se hned, ale pro zalibu pritelovu.

Julea • si nevedela rady, proto utekla, ale Anda si dodala srdce, v2clyt' se s mladYm Kmentem dobre znala a omlouvala se jen zapYrene: "Nezlobte se na rids, ja, nemuzu yyd •Zet, jak slySim peknej zpev. 1V[usim a muslin za nim, jako mura za svetlem."

"Pojd.'te tedy zblizka si nos poslechnout vlastne pritele Bolka", nobid! ji Slava a volal take na Trochu zdrabani — ale pak se divky clostaly rady do Kmentovy zahrady.

Bolek byl lined hrozne veselk; zpival tim lepe a pobizel cleveata, aby zpivala s nimi. Julea nechtela ani slyleti, ale Anda si brzy dala idol a skuteene, projevila opravdovY talent. Jak dobre se shodla s kytarou a Bolkem!

Stars' Kment byl unesen; vzpoinnel na krasne, zaSle easy sveho mladi, kdy se jeSte tak hodn6 a rado zpivalo,

Anebo pii svatem Jane zpivalo se rm na ysi a kaplieky a na ten se kde kdo nernaZu zapoinnet, jak jste zpivaly vo VojtechovYm funuse", povidala panimania, "to bylo moc krasne." — A povzdechla v to vzpomince.

"Kerou, tu jak nesli miadou hoika bez prikrovu?" ptala se Julla a panimama, ptisvadeila. "Tu bych rada eSte sly:Sela."

"Rozplakala byste se, maminko" initl Slava — "a ja bych rad an veselY veler."

"Nerozplalfi,'uvidiS", branila se maminka, "ha myslim, ae se poteSim." "Ale, to bych tu musela mit Maim", nanutla Anda, ktera byla chvilku zamySiena, "zpivala tuhle s Juleou prvni bias. Ci to dokale8 sama?"

Julea, tleba byla dosti ctiladostiva, piece s.i netroufala. "Dojdu pro ni", navrhia preochotne a uz se stirala.

"To ne, sleeno", vyskoeil Slava za ni, "co by rekli u Pazdernikti? To nen-tale byt!", ale Julea s Andou minily, le na tom nic neni, Ze Maria take rada zpiva, Bole, a jak — a je take rad?. vesela.

"Tak ja, ptijdu s varni," nabidl. se Bolek a beZel jak byl, jen v bile koSili s kytarou na krku poveSenou.

"Toole je Clovek", usmival se start' Kment, Thu, to je elovieek. Bawl radost a veselost!"

"A srdce must mit samY zlato", marninka prikyvo yala,' "to se pozna. Kdo je ra,d, veselej, je taky hodnej!"

Andu nezajim.alo nic, ne2 jeho zpev.

Dala se do prohliZeni not, ktere. tu Slava prve rozhodil a vyslovila politovani, Ze se nemohla alit hrat alespoA na housle nebo na citeru, kdy2 to na piano neni moetne.

"Al se vdate, neuZila byste toho, Anilko", pravila panimama, "potom nejni eas."

"Ja, budu clycky zpivat," pravila Anda a jeji pihovata tvarieka byla cell, nadSena "a vema si nejspiS riakkho: muzikanta."

"StarYho Krovinu", poSkadlil ji Slava, "to je ve.enY mladenec a potad k zadani."

"Co by ne", sma,la se Anda, "naafi beztak mi slibujou, Ze dostanu vopilce, protole muzikanti vsici pijou. Ale, já si z toho nic nebudu Mat, jen kdy bride brat a zpivat." Wichni se rozesmall a panimaina vesele device popleskdvala po

Ale, Bolek byl samY smich a Julea take ji klidnila, at' si z toho nic nodeona pred chvili vypadala je.46 ha.

"Takhle yam to zrovna slusi, sleenc", volal Bolek, "ani v Prase jsem neVidel tu nejkrasnejSi Zenu v takovem privabu."

Plouho do noel oz1valy sr jejich hlasy a start' Jakub na palande ani remohl usnouti. On Zenske va))ee neinel rad, ale chaos ho timzpevem jaksi oearovaly. Poprve pocitil, Ze inladi uprchlo a zivot 11111 nodal v hradu.

AO u1C-thall hodne pozcle, rano vstaval Slava. \Mud easne, Vzbudi! ,Takuba, aby on! :;one nakrmil a pu.t.roje phpravil a 8,ini se oblekal , co nejpe6liveji.

Teprve, kdyZ byl skoto zcela ustrojen, oholen a uOesan, vzbudil pritele.

VSak maminka dole 112 byla take jak pobihala vzhitru, snidani sem a tarn, probudila i pant:Au. Deveeky LIZ poklizely a Jakub krinil kone, maminka behala z mlienika do komory a niela, pinostarosti. Posilala v§elicos LicluSce a balila to do koSe, sbirala smetanu, aby byla pro hosta dobra kava, take na cestu jim mazala chlebielcy- a nahonem jeSte tvarob pro Lidku Vytlaeovala.

Slava Si priSel do svetnice pro boty a obouvul Se potichu u okna. Neveciel, Co pantata ji2 nespi a poeinal si opatrne. Venku . vychazelo slunce v rudYch eerynancich a naplito yalo dour i svetnice nadherne 2lutavYm svetlem. Pcsledni fiaIove stir-1-y mizely jako zla-' to , vlevaly se vAtide sluneeni paprsky.

Kciy,'A se Slava poobratil od okna, aby se vratil nahoru, seal otec ji2 na posteli — nohy mu visely dolt a mei starostlive sepiate ruce v kline. va sebou trhl. Ve tvari otcove-poznal hned, Jo bude- rnlirviti o zdlelitosti, ktera byla nrichodem BolkovYm paksi pozadi zastreena. Krev vhrkla Slavavi ku hlave. Bude-li mu otec braniti, aby jel do Kotlin? 'di mu bude zakazovati znamost s Ireou? V§echVD y e Slayovi vzkypelo. Ne, stokrat ne!

V torn otce neposlechne! Neda si vymlouvat, neda si rozkazovat neustoupi od Irony miluje ji, jen ve spojeni s ni tuSi cele. etesti sveho Zivota.

Aniz by ho byl otec oslovil, zastavil se testae pied nim v postoji tak bojovnem, 2e jeho valor byl zcela patrnY. Cekal ostra a zla slova prudkY vY-

e

Ve sttedu 1. eervence 1970 stup a byl tak zasleper4r svou vuli, ze v to chvili nevzpomnel ani na matku.

Ale pantata nezadal zhurta. Podival se patrave na syna a tekl pomalu, ale mime: "Tak teda jedeS zas? No — via, Slav°, jseS pinoletej a musiS" si rozumet. Ale, bude-li to Spatnk — nenatikej na nikoho, net na sebe. Pamatuj, to sis vzal Rudovanou tenskou a nebude-li se ti Sikovat v hospociatstvi, nedavej vinu ji, ani nam, ale sam sobe. Ale nerad bych, aby grunt ptiSel v cizi ruce — aspori za, mYho tivota to vopatruj." Proto si vzal kaihoty, ktere visely na veSdeku za jeho hlavou a oblekal se, syna si nevSimaje.

Slava stal chvili nerozobdne.

Slova otcova nejak ho odzbrojila, ba zahanbila. On se chystal do bojezatim dostal jen radu. Otevtel usta, aby new tekl, ale vSe mu pripadalo nejapnYm. Kdyby alespori vela maminka!

Ale ta pobihala v kuchyni a tatinek neiikal ut nic.

Okamtik postal Slava u stolu, potom vSak se vzmohl na nekolik slov: "I bude to dobre, tatinku, uvidite" pomalu• Sel ze svetnice.

Stary stal zadumane u okna a opakoval nOkolikrat: "Dej Parribn, rdej Pambu!"

"Jaka, jest to prace, Svetliku? Davam si pozor ut kolikaty tkden a vady shledavam jedno a totet. VaSe zavity jsou vadne, malokterY se cla•zaSroubovat!" — tak pravil Zatopa v sobotu odpoledne, kdyt jda k vYplate, u jeho soustruhu se zastavil.

"Jak to ntheou Het?" zamradene- se utrhl Svetlik a strelil pohledern pinYm nenavisti po tovarniku, "Delam. tak, jak jsem se to nauoil."

"Nu, ale potom yam musim rici, Z"e jste se to naueil Spatne. Zavity jsou o petinu milimetru melei a jejich vYtez neodpovida zavittim osy."

27

Vg8TNiK "Tak tteba je ta osa gpatna", zavreel Svetlik a aby dal tovarnikovi najevo, to s nim domluvil, podal brousiti tak astte, to piliny letaly tak prudce na vSecky strany, i Zatopovi do tvare.

To Zatopu popudilo. "Jak to se mnou mluvite?" rozkiikl se. ''Zda se mi, zase se yam daft dobte a picha vas dobre bydlo. Nelibi-li se vam place u soustruhu a nechcete-li ji svedomite zastavati, dame vas k horSi praci ye skladiSti nebo —" Tovarnik to niedopovedel, nebot' matieka, kterou Svetlik u soustruhu prudce odletela do kouta a cielnik okanitite od soustruhu odsko"Tak? K horgi praci trine dat? K denial* ne? A to se podivejme! To myslite, to s tim budu spokojenej? Helejte, kamaradi, otrokate! Jen dtit a &it a pro slovo z prace vyhazovat, do skladiSte! A co ja se tu nadtel, napram/al, zdravi jsem tu nechal!"

"Svetliku, mlete," rozictikl se Zdtopa, kterjA se stale jeSte opanovaval krotil, "vy nevite, co mluvite snad jste opilSr!" Zatopa vedel, ee Svetlik v posledni dobe mnoho pije a skuteend ho chtel tim omluvit. Ale Svetlik se zcela rozzutil.

"Viclite", rozictieel se, "tekne-li na q -necpravdu,tkjeopil!J,an tak to dal nepude! Zastavime praci, delejte si sami, budete videt, co budete bez nas! Past se pudete! Hla.dem chcipnete, protote sami delat neumite — burZousti!"

"Buz 1/53 zvolal opovrZlive Zatopa, "jeste Ziv budu! Ale vain bucle propustini-li vas z prate."

"Lumpe zatracenej, votrokati, zlcdeji! Za moje mozoly? Kamaradi, zastaNte praci, jeden za vtecky a vtichni za jednoho!"

Nekolik ptivrtencu moralky Svetli--

kovy opravdu nechalo praci stat a kupilo se kolem Zatopy, ale ostatni ignorovali Silenstvi, jak Svetlikovo besneni nazvali a hlecieli si sve prace.

Zatopa toho vSak mel take dost, Velitelsky ukazal na vYchod z dilny a zhtmel na Svetelika celou silou sveho hlasu: Pokradovani
