Z nemocnice ho ut propustili, ale zustali u meho syna Johna Palata v Boise, net se zotavi a bude moci prijet domti. Vlasta je s nim, ponevadt John i Louise jsou cely den v praci.

A tak pri te vanici jsem si vzpomela na jednu starou panu v Evrope, na ValaSsku nas! vesnici HoWalkove, odkud i jsem do Ameriky ptivandrovala, totit s rodinou, na Hanu Htibkovu.

Obrovske smrky byly porostle vousatymi lfSejniky, pies sebe a na sobe lekly suche a pievracene stromy, odim hrozily ostre vetve a dlouhe crutY husteho krovi.

Tretiho dne po odjezdu odpoeival podie sveho zvyku opet na palube a pozoroyal more. Pojednou zaslechl kdesi blizko ptiduSenY vzlykot. Neprozra.dil sve pritomnosti prikradl se bliFe. NemYlil se.

0 zabradli opirala se zde vzhledna, ter ne °della divka. Plakala horce a tiskla si kapesnik k ()elm.

— WEST, TEXAS

ZabranskY k ni pristoupil s vrelou east a otdzal se ji: "Chybi y am nee° snad, sleeno? Swim vdm nabidnouti sve sluFlay? Jsem Ludvik Zabransky z Bratislavy."

Mlada, divka pozvedla hlavu a pohledla na Ludvika uplakanYma dolma barvy chrpy.

"Jste velmi lskav, pane ZabranskY, ale nenatiFete mi pomoci. Oplakavam nejdraF Si, co jsem mela na zemi svou matku.

Nejvice mne boll, Fe ji musim zanechati pohitenu v cizi zerni."

Ludvik Zabransky rozumel mlade Upine.

"Chapu vaSi bolest a vaFim si ji, sleeno. I ja musil se trikrate v Fivote jiF vzdati toho, co mi bylo nejdraMi. Uz dva krate odriala mi to smrt, po treti Zivot.

Posledne stalo se to vlastni mou vinou!"

Nevedel sam, proe ji sveruje sve myAlenky. Docela cizi divce! Prato snad, se jeji oci podobaly PavlinYm zrakilm?

Ci proto, Fe byla nat'astna?

Divka pohledla na statneho mute s freasti.

"Dovaate, pane ZabranskY, abych se yam predstavila i ja. Jmenuji se RtiFena, Rankova a vracim se do stare vlasti, abych si naSla novY domov. Matka mi zanechala tak mato, Fe to sotva staei, aby mne to uchranilo pied nouzi." fzekla to proste a jasne.

Nemelo pro ni ceny, predstirati bohateinu Zabranskemu, Fe je dama velkeho sveta, kdyz byla ye skuteenosti chuda a opuStend.

"Vyhledla jste si jiF misto ei bych yam mohl pri torn bYti napomocen?" zeptal se ZabranskY privetive.

"Ne, cdpovedela RtiFena Rankovd, "mam zamireno do Brna k mateine vzdalene pribuzne, a tam teprve pokusim se neco najiti. Kdybyste mi pri tom pri torn prispel, byla bych vain ov gem velmi povdeena.."

Ludvik ZabranskY prejel si rukou hladce vyholenou tvar. Napadlo mu cosi — chtel si vSak drive vec rozmysliti. Pokusi se, pribliFiti se divce za dalSi cesty. Uvidi-li Fe je opravdu jemneho vzdelani, jak se skuteene zda, pak ji nabidne misto sekretarki, ktere zastavala drive Pavla — ke jeho atesti ci neaesti.

Tim docili, zee bude proti nemu sedati zase mila tvar divei. Tak se mu podari zapomenouti snad drive na Pavlu, Po chvilce premY'Sleni rekl: "Posledniho dne teto cesty si o tom pro mluvime. Snad varn budu do to doby moci prispeti nejen doporueenim, ale hned vhodnYm mistem. V tom pripade nemusila byste obtRovati vubec onu pribuznou."

Diveiny eel vzhTedly vdeene v jeho prisnou tvar. NeZli ji mohl zabraniti, uchopila jej za ruku a polibila ji.

Ve stiedu, dne 23, ledna 1949.

"Ani netuSite, jake nadeje ye mile vzbuzujete. Vydala jsem se na cestu do vlasti bez nejmenSi chuti a nadeje. A nyni umoZnuje mi vase dobrota. Fe mohu hledeti bete strachu vstrie budoucnosti. Pane ZabranskY, slibuji vam, obstojim eestne vSude, kamkoliv mne doporuCite a Fe budu zastavati sve misto svedomite. Umim dobre francouzsky anglicky slovem i pismem. Trochu se vymaul i ye SpanelStine."

Ludvik zahledel se do dale. I v torn podoba se Pavle! Postavou a vzhledem nebyla i podobna. Mela milt', ubledly oblieej, vroubenY kaStanovYm vlasem. Jedine, eim upominala Pavlu, byly jeji .tmavomodre "Nu, dobra,"' odpovedel "I)rnasnaFim se vSemoFne." Od toho dne schazeli se na, palube kaldodenne.

RtiFena Rankova citila se pod ochranou Zabranskeho spokojenou a bezpeenou. Bez licheho studu sdelila mu historii sveho Fivota. Jeji otec byl aktivnim dustojnikem. Po prevratu se vystehoval prsotrednictvim pfitele dostalo se mu mista v New Yorku, v jistem bankovnim dome. Lee ji2 pa dvou letech zemkel a RtiZena osirela se svoji matkou v cizi zemi. Dostalo se ji clobreho vychovani. Dik tom umohla se starati o matku. Tato vSak zemrela po krdtke nemoci. A RuFena slibila umirajici, Fe se vrati po jeji smrti opet do vlasti.

Tomuto slibu dostala. Vakerou stalost po rodieich predala novomanFekteri preyzali byt jeji matky. To v'Se dovedel se od ni ZabranskY postupne.

Predposledniho dne plavby uzralo jeho rozhodnuti. Pavla byla ztracena pro nej pro vFdy. VyStval ji do sveta, do boje o vezdejAi chleb. Nyni setkava se s divkou prave tak chudou a opuStenou.

Byla to nahoda ei dilo osudu?

Rozhodl se, Fe napravi na teto divce, co opomenul u Pauly.

Posledniho dne plavby ji sdelil, Fe ji prijim6, co osobni sekretarku. I ji chtel ubytovati u tety Zofie. Bude jist, Fe je v clobrYch rukou, a stard pani ma aspoa o koho se starati.

Nyni byl opet klidnY a uminoval si, Fe se venuje opet svernu zavodu. To potenejvice jeho stareho prokuristu. Ludvik nevzplanul k mlade divce hlubSim zajmem ani ji snad dokonce nemiloval.

Ne — na Pavlu nebylo moFno tak snadno zapomenouti. Takou lasku pociti elovek jen jednou v Zivote!

RtiZena byla cold rozradovana. Chopila Zabranskeho za obe ruce. Neverila ani, is je t opravda. Co2 Fiji dosud lido tak Alechetni? Pohledla nan a oei zalily se ji slzami.

"Moje zlata maminka mute opet klid-

"Pojd'me — necht' nevzbudime pozornost. Velkoobchodnik Zabransky ma vsnde dosti znamYch, kteri by si mohli vykladati vSe jinak. . ."

Sla posluSne po jeho boku a pokouSela se zapristi bez yYznamnY spoleeenskY rozhovor.

Za malo dni na to zasedla na bYvale misto Pavly bleda divka se zarivymi zraky a naslouchala pozorne vYkladilm a poueenim Ludvika Zabranskeho.

Brzo se zapracovala a za nedloull stala se mu milou, nepostradatelnou spoleenici. Mnohdy se sni bavival a Oast° se i podivil jejim bohatym vedomostem.

Pavia byla u porovnani s ni mnohem uzavrenejSi. Rena byla otevrena ye vSech syYch projevech a s nieim se netaj il a.

Tak uplynuly mesice. Ludvika bylo ted' opet mono nalezt vZdy v jeho pracavne, nemusil-li prave na cesty.

Sviij plan, podniknouti cestu kolem sveta, odsunl patrne na neureito. Stal se opet osou sveho zavodu.

RaZene bylo u tety Zofie dobre a blaze. Vedlo se ji jako Pavie. Dobrota stare pani dala ji zapomenouti smrti mateiny rychleji, neZ by bylo mono za kterYchkoliv pomerti jinYch. Pro Seta vzklieil ji v srdci vrelY cit. Jen ona vedela, Ze se mu skrYva, pod maskou prime tvare vtelY soucit s bliZnimi.

Ludvik po,strehl jeji pohled a pochopil jej. I3ole, toho nezamYSlel. Sympatisoval s mladou divkou, ale nepokouSel se vzbuditi v ni histu. Toho dne doSlo v jeho dui k jakemusi rozpolteni.

Poeal podnikati opet deli cesty. RaZena nemohla si vysvetliti jeho chovani. Strachovala se o nej a byla den ze, dne bledSi a prepadlejSi. Jeji laska byla hluboka a opravdova, ale nebylo v ni touhy. Jak take mohla, ubohY sirotek, zatouZiti po svem bohatem Aefovi?

Ludvik Zabransky navratil se opet z cesty. Tentokrate prijel o dva dny ye, neZ ho neekavali. Vstoupil nahle do sve pracovny. Pozdravil se s RUZenou a to si povSiml, jak je bleda a prepadla.

Ulekl se. CoZ ho tak miluje? CoZ pro nej trpi? Toho nesmi dopustiti. Vidal podle jejich zraku, Ze jej miluje opravdu.

Ujal se jeji ruky a rekl konejSive: "RtiZenko, jdete dnes pekne domii -,-poptejeme si volna pied zittejSim svatkem. Vyt'id'te tete Zofii, Ze prijdu za pal hodiny k ni. Musim s vami o neeem pro mluviti."

RilZena zahledela se na nej udivene, jakoby se obavala, Ze se preslechla. tlzkost sevrela ji srdce a 'Leiner pozbYvala dechu.

Ludvik Zabransky vyzval ji k rozmluve!

Nezude to nic jineho, net' propueteni. Patrne neni jeji vYkonnost dostateena!

Mohl ji to kid take zde; nebylo treba, choditi k ni do bytu! Jit' chtela svou mySlenku vysloviti, ale Ludvik kYvnul jen privetive hlavou a vySel, net' promluvila.

NezbYvalo ji, neLi sloZiti sve papiry a podrobiti se jeho prani.

Ta jim pohrdla a provdala se za Chlumeckelio.

Teta Zofie rekla rortesknene divce: "AZ prijde Ludvik Zabransky, uvedu ho do salonu. Anna vas potom zavola."

Za hodinu stanul Ludvik, vysoky a hrdY, pied RUZenou, kterou ptevySoval o hlavu. Jeho tvat byla jaksi mekka, a jeho ocelove oko spodinulo laskave na div-

RaZena oeekaval asvnj ortel se sveSenou hlavinkou. Ludvik pristoupil k ni o krok bliZe a vzal jeji hlavinku do syYch diani. Chtel ji 'videti do oei, aZ ji poloosudnou otazku. Vzpoinnel si na Pavliny oei.

"RilZeno," rekl,pomalu a melee. "Nehled'te na mne tak fizkostlive. Oct' nejsem vaSim nejlepAim pritelem a nemysill jsem s vami vkly dobre?"

RilZena prikYvla nepatrne, protoie ji stale jeSte drZel hlavinku.

Zavrela oei a fitlYm tilkem projelo kreeovite chveni. Oeekavala vSe moZne, jen tohoto se nenaddla.

Ludvik privinul ji bliZe k sobe. Tu mimodek oprela hlavinku o jeho prsa.

"Nut'e, RtiZensko — jak mi odpovite?"

Sepjala ruce a vzhledla k nemu ne&waive: "A je to vSe pravda? NeZertujete se mnou? Nesnim? — Ja, uboha RtiZena Rankova, main se stati 2,enou bohateho velkoobchodnika? Ne tat' nemoiLlo — Zertujeter ZabranskY objal ji obema rukama.

Pohladil ji po hnedYch vlasech.

"A spokojiS se, RUZenko, tim, co ti mohu poskytnouti?"

Tu zpozoroval v jejich odich opet zablesk vrouciho citu, kterY ji tak hluboce jimal.

"Snad se podari jednou me lasce vzbuditi lasku i v tobe. Jsem o torn presvedeena."

Takove bylo zasnoubeni Ludvika Zabranskeho. Skoneilo malou hostinou u tedy Zofie. Svatba ureena na dobu a mela se konati ye v gi tichosti.

Byla to ticha, skromna nevesta, jiZ oei vkly odleskem etesti, kdykoliv dlel u ni snoubenec.

Ludvik byl k RtiZene velmi laskav; dojimala jej jeji laska. Zahrnoval ji yam, po eem jen mladieke srdce divei zatouZilo. Jen ye svem laskani jevil jakousi odmerenost.

Jednoho parneho dne eervencoveho byla slavena svatba. Byla kratka a prosta. Nasledovala po ni hostina u tety Zofie. Pozvani byli jen oba svedkove,

Ludvik povolil sam sobs tfinedelni dovolenou. S podatku pobyli novomangele u mote, pak ale zanatili do Cech, do Polabi. Ludvika tahlo cos mocne na Habry.

Pavle neueel pohled Zabranskeho, ale sama nan nepohledla. Za to kynula s ptivetivym esmevem ne gne jeho gince.

MOZART Born January 27, 177 Tile greatest natural genius in music history was born in Salzburg, Germany, on Jonuary 27, 1756. From his seventh year until his untimely death in 1791, WeIfeang Amadeus Mozart's great talent was revealed to the world in his more than a thousand compositions covering virtually all instrumental forms.

Legend has it that young Wolfgang, in his cradle, heard the clavier music lessons his father—a prominent violinist —gave to his sister Nannerl. At the age of three, the boy was able to pick out tunes on the instrument and amazed onlookers by proof that he had memorized the pieces he had heard.

Eat Wolfgang had much greater surprises in store for family visitors. He began to compose at five and the numbers, written down by his father as Wolfgang invented them, gained widespread attention. From than on the young composer's life as a musical prodigy before the courts of Europe was a fabulous one.

The lad became a court favorite and traveled through the elite palaces of Europe with his sister. His travels and experiences in the period of lavish and romantic court life had a natural influence on his compositions.

His 49 symphonies, his famous operas (including "The Magic Flute," "Don Giovanni" and "The Marriage of Fige - ) his chamber music, serenades and songs ail contributed to his immortality.

After his marriage to Constance von '14elJer in 1782, he met with poverty—but the Wree great operas mentioned above wee written during the years they lived tog e(:hee.—F. M. ) • Gle • MANI' FAMILIES IMPROVING HOMES 'The last few years have been prosperous ones for many farm families.

However, a great variety of circumstances enter into the general picture of farm income and levels of living. Some types of farming have done better than ethers. Some areas have had a smaller increfue in income than others. But more important, in all areas and for all types of farming, not all families have Lhared equally in the general prosperity of f.t riners.

Our Joformation on recent changes in farm family spending comes partly from reports on the accounts that farm families keep and send to State colleges.

These families are not representatives of the entire farm population. They are, for example, more prosperous than the average farm family. However, their records do provide an up-to-date picture

of the kinds of changes in farm family spending.

In the past; these account-keeping families have generally spent less money for various consumer goods than the percapita average for all consumers in the country. This is partly explained by the food and fuel furnished by the farm and by the fact that many farmers carry part of their housing expenses as a farm business cost. Moreover, farm families often can buy farm products from neighbors more cheaply than city families. However, the smaller money income of farm families, at least in the 1930's and early 1940's, is probably the chief reason for spending less.

The most striking fact about 1947 family spending is the extent to which farm families have bought household furnishings and equipment. About 14 percent of the expenditures of the accountkeeping families for family living last year was used for furnishings and equipment for the house. Total spending for this purpose was 3 3-4 times the 193740 average.

Farm families also nave used their larged incomes to improve their houses.

The number of farm houses with modern bathrooms more than doubled from 1940 to 1947 and more than a million were supplied with running water. Much remains to be done. In April 1947 twothirds of the farm houses still had no running water and four-fifths were without modern bathrooms.

Another way in which farm families have used their increased income is to increase their spending for medical care.

By 1947, account-keeping families were spending 2 1-2 times as much for medical care as in 1940 while the increase for the average United States consumer was less than double. However, many farm people still do not have as good opportunities for medical care as city people.

Food still takes first place among the goods farmers buy for family use. Over the country, it amounts to a third or a quarter of the amount spent for family living. 'For families on the poorer farms, it is even more. Hence, home food-production and home food-preservation are still important.

Continued improvement of the houses and household equipment of farm families is likely in the years ahead. Extension of electric power lines in rural areas has stimulated many farm families to make these improvements. But prospects are for a loWer net farm income next year and, even in the years of highest income, many farmers cannot afford to undertake ambitious programs for modernizing their houses. The third with

tie siredu, due 26. lecina 1949. the lowest incomes, and possibly the lowest half, will have only small sums to spend in this way. Hence, programs for financial planning, nutrition, and food production and preservation will again be important next year.

Matejka, who has been stationed in Germany for more than a year, writes an interesting letter to his mouter, Mrs. F. Matejka, who was kind enough to let me use it in thiS column. I recall that last year the Matejkas entertained a large group of German children and we ran a picture of one of the tables with little tots around it eating ice cream. Do you remember that? Well, anyway, here is what Jerry says about it: "Today we are finishing our first 18 months over here and it seems a long time but when we are so busy the time passes fairly quickly. We never know how long we will stay anywhere, but I really hope that we will not have to be over here too long, Johnny has finished his first year in Japan and since they have to stay only two and a half years there, they have only a year and a half mere before they come home.

"My office had a Christmas party for about 500 German children last Wednesday in a little town about ten miles from here, and Myrtle, and I went. The children sang Christmas songs beautifully, and they acted the little play about the birth of Jesus which was very nice.

Each one had two big cakes, like doughnuts with jelly in the middle, and all the cocoa with marshmallow on top that they could drink. Then each one got a paper sack with two small oranges, two chocolate bars, and a few pieces of hard candy in the bag, and then a package with some article of clothing.

"They all seemed so happy that it made us happy, too. This was the first time these children. had such a party and they almost went wild with joy. We all know how hard it is to make peOple different from what they have always been, and we may not be able to show the Germans how to get along with other people, but I am sure the children will remember that day for a long time, and also remember that the Americans did a lot for them."—(Caldwell News.) ) • 4 • ( No matter what other nations may say about the United States—immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery.

She received a lovely gift from the club and several ' ,other lovely gifts from her friends. Mrs. Birdie Hilsher, our club president, conducted the meet ing, and afterward we took our places at a long gaily decorated table, with bright colored balloons being used as tally cards, and noisemakers in the form of gold colored horns. Pink tinfoil letters spelled out Happy New Year, and they extended the full length of the table. We had a very delicious lunch and afterward were served Hawaiian Punch, home-made kolace and coffee.

Next month we will have three honorees—Mrs. Lucy Sastak, Mrs. Frances Dvorak and Mrs. Mary Rubac. Februray being the month of Valentines, Mrs. Hilsher thought it would be nice to have an old-fashioned Valentine box and everyone could drop their Valentines in it for their friends. I know everyone will be looking forward to this next party. About forty members were prer sent and there were several guests. Our membership is growing, but we still have plenty of room for more, so if any of you ladies who are members of our lodge and would like to join our birthday club, we will be very happy to have you with us.

--A. E. ) ° 4 • ( PRESIDENTIAL PARADES The nation formally inducted its thirty third President, Harry S. Truman, on Thursday, January 20th. He got into his first term by the common-sense method of being sworn in and going to work.

But his second term is his first inaugural, something in the nature of a wedding.

The 80th Republican Congress provided $79 000 for the inaugural grandstand, but it was figured then that somebody else would be sworn in to do his duty by the nation. President Truman, under all the circumstances should be happy about his first inaugural.

This recalls the inaugural ceremonies held before. In "Peculiarities of Presidents"—a recent book published by Wilkinson Press, $1.50—Don Smith has collected many interesting facts concerning the private lives of past Presidents.

The following excerpts will give you some idea of previous inaugurations and difficulties encountered, as in the case 'of President Grant's second inauguration when "there was a fierce wind and the thermometer registered 28 degrees below freezing, or 4 degrees above zero.

The breath of the musicians condensed in the valves of the instruments.," An unusually heavy snow storm gripped Washington on the day of President Taft's inauguration forty years ago in 1909. Ten inches of snow had fallen just before the parade, preventing many of the intending paraders and visitors from reaching Washington.

Six thousand workmen were hired to clear the snow from the inaugural route, and the parade finally started. The thirty thousand marchers and one hundred bands were cheered by the watchers, despite the fact that they themselves were half frozen from standing in the bitter wind.

President Cleveland, in 1885, was the first president to deliver his inaugural address without notes. All previous presidents read their manuscripts.

Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee ,in 1829, was considered the first president of the West. His predecessdrs were men of polished manners, and, with the excep-

Ve stredu, dne 26. ledna 1949. tion of Washington, all were college graduates. John Quincy Adams, whose place Jackson was to take, moved out of the White House on March 3, and refused to ride with Jackson at the inaugural parade.

Pennsylvania Avenue was lined at an early hour with Jackson's pioneer friends, many of whom had traveled, by horseback in those days, fora several hundred miles over the mountains to see "Old Hickory" inaugurated. Upon the return of the parade to the White Rouse the noisy crowd clamored for refreshments, and soon drained barrels of punch.

In their excitement the new President was pushed aside, and his aristocratic political opponents watched in disgust as the roughly-dressed backwoodsmen, with their racoon-skin caps and muddy boots, climbed on the upholstered furniture of the White House, to get a better view of their hero. A great deal of china and cut glassware was broken; and the East Room, with mantels of colored marble, mirrors, chandeliers, and heavy draperies, was filled with a noisy mob.

When Abraham Lincoln delivered his first inaugural address in 1861, Stephen A. Douglas, his long-time rival in politics and love, held Lincoln's hat. Another notable fact was that in the audience were then four future presidents: Hayes Garfield, Arthur, and Benjamin Harrison.

The unique honor of being president of the United States for twenty-four hours fell upon Senator David Atchison, of Missouri, in 1849, one hundred years back. James K. Polk, the eleventh presi dent of our country, declined to run for a second term. and Zachary Taylor was elected. In those days we did not have the Twentieth Amendment to inaugurate the president on the 20th of January, and presidents were inaugurated at noon on March 4th. For the first time in the nation's history, March 4 fell on Sunday, and the inauguration was postponed to Monday. President Polk's term ended at noon Sunday. The nation was temporarily without a president and a vice-president. From noon on March 4 until noon the next day, the president of the Senate, Senator Atchison was president of the United States.—A, E. ) • 4 • ( New automobile lights that look around corners are being developed in Detroit.

LITTLE MORE PRACTICE

TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS

This could have happened in other local lodges. Maybe, it did happen, and it was embarrassnig to others the same as it was unpleasant to the writer when it occurred to him. Many years back he was in charge of a program given by a local lodge. It was one of those programs which started with speeches, recitals, songs, and went into more speeches and more singing, and finally wound up with a one-act play, and a dance.

Every issue of Vestnik has the reading matter so divided that two-thirds of it is in the Czech language and onethird in English. The Czech part is being edited' by our old capable and reliable journalist, Brother Frank Moucka,. He was elected for this position in 1932, when the printing of the organ was transferred from Fayetteville to Cechosloyak Publishing Company in West, 18 miles north of Waco. Brother Moucka' has been re-elected as editor of Vestnik, in 1936, 1940, 1944, and again in 1948, At the last convention the delegates decided to enlarge the publication, put its supervision under the Press Committee, employ assistant editor for the , English part, and make the publication a medium for all members.

Since the Press Committee and members wish to place the responsibility where it belongs, each of the two editors is to be accounted for all reading matter published in his respective part. For this reason it is necessary to send all contributions which are to appear in the English Section to: "Associate Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7, Texas," Anything designed to be published in the English Section, if sent to West, Texas, must be forwarded to the associate edi tor in Houston, which causes quite a de-. lay, disappointMent, and criticism.

Therefore, send your English manuscripts as directed. Should you forget the address, you can find it in every issue at the beginning of , the English Section. Many thanks for your co-operation.—A. E. • 4•(

Everything clicked well. Recitals and songs had been thoroughly rehearsed; the speakers were experienced members; the actors were old-timers whose performances in the past were highly satisfactory; the guests arrived beyond expectation; briefly, everything was set for a big day.

At the last moment, the band leader was approached with a request to start the program with the national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner," to be followed by the Czech "Kde domov The band had been ordered for this occasion from a distance of 75 miles.

The band leader regretfully informed that his musicians had the notes for the American anthem but not for the Czech patriotic song. A discussion, then an argument, "No, we can't have the one without the other. And you don't have 'Hej Slovane either?"

A suggestion was made and accepted that "The Star Spangled Banner" would be played by the band. Right after, the audience would be asked to sing "Kde domov mii.j" It might have worked if— IF number one: Apparently the musicians had very little practice with the national anthem. They did their best under the circumstances, yet it was embarrassing.

IF number two: The singing of "Kde domov milj" was not any better, because some singers did not know the words, others did not know the tune; and some did not know either. In addition, the pitch was too high for male voices and too low for female voices.

A good program was spoiled with a poor beginning.

This actually happened several years ago. It might have been repeated, with some variations, many times since.

If you don't want to have your program spoiled by a poor start, a good recording of "The Star Spangled Banner," either Victor or Columbia recording from your neighborhood music dealer, and a record-player placed close to a microphone, will do the trick. Any other patriotic music can be rendered the same way with highly pleasing results.—A. E.

NATIONAL FREEDOM DAY Suppose you were asked, "What is NatiOnal Freedom Day?" You would answer, "The Fourth of July." That's wrong. "Then it must be June'teenth."

Again wrong.

Some of 'the readers of Ve,stnik might have read about the National Freedom Day recently or it may be discussed before this appears in our Section, yet the subject is timely. It deserves to be mentioned.

Under Public Law 842 of the 80th Congress: signed by President Truman on June 30, 1943, the President of the United, , States is authorized to issue a proclamation designating the first day of February of each year as National Freedem Day. The observance commemorates what happened eighty-four years ago. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Joined Resolution of Congress proposing the Thirteenth Amendment by which slavery was abolishcTl..

This week, on the first of February, it is.tlac first national observation of the Freedom Day. The observance, however, will always stand as a monument to the extraordinary career of a Negro who was born ,a slave and who, until his recent death at the age of ninety-three, was the most amazing Negro in America.

When slavery was abolished, Richard Robert Wright was a slave boy about ten . ,years of age. He was born on a plantation in. Southern Georgia. When the slaves were freed, Dick Wright was old eneUgh to know the full meaning of slaVery. Also he was young enough to kindle within his breast a fierce deterMination to make of his life one of great Usefulness not only to his race but to his Nation: And he succeeded in that determination.

A*ifeW years ago, the leading Negro magazine, Ebony, devoted a long article to the.„ biography of this extraordinary man who was born a slave. It is worth to ,-recall some of the high spots and to give. it here in . connection with the National Freedom Day. Dick's mother, after they were set free, gathered up her children and wandered, !afoot, toward Atlanta, Georgia.

There she decided to teach the Negro children to read and write. Dick was then eleven years old. An incident which occurred in this school was immortalized by e the American poet John Greenleaf Whittier in his poem "Howard at Atlanta.", Some of our younger SPJST members who have received a course in American literature may remember the poem. The poem tells of the day when General O. O. Howard visited the school

N1K

TE7,10i

where the young ex-slaves learned to read. The general asked what message; the children of this school would like to send to the people in the North who were Contributing to run the school. A boy about eleven rose in the back row., "Massa, tell 'em we're rising!"

Dick Wright pushed on through school and finally graduated from Atlanta University. Then he started a school of his own for Negro children. He charged 50 cents tuition per month. Sometimes a child brought only 25 cents for the first "ition," and 25 cents later to make it "two-ition."

Years later, when Dick Wright became first president of Georgia State College for Negroes, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes —father of Associate Justice Holmes, of the Supreme Court—sent him this congratulatory message: "Man, you are not rising, you are risen!"

Dick Wright had always urged his students to seek business career as the best method of proving the untruth of the theory that Negroes had no talent for business. And he tried his own advice. At 66 he came to a decision to start a bank; but realized that he knew very little about the banking business. He had three grown sons, all college graduates, and he persuaded. the youngest one to enroll in a course in banking at the University of Pennsylvania. And while they were attending the lectures at the University, they slowly remodeled an old building in a Negro section of Philadelphia. Today, of eleven Negro banks in the whole United States, the Citizens and Souhtern Bank and Trust Company if Philadelphia is the only Negro bank north of the Mason-Dixon line.

The bank weathered two depressions because the main criterion for operation of this bank was character. Dick Wright believed that character was more important than collateral. There are many stories about his theories of banking, often somewhat unorthodox, but there is general agreement in Philadelphia that his bank had been well managed.

And he used his bank as a means to create better relation between white and colored people. When he opened the bank, the streets in that section were unpaved. Dick Wright circulated a petition which was signed by hundreds of people, regardless of color. Under his untiring effort the section got everything it asked for, pavements, sewers, street lights, schools. The bank was the best thing for the neighborhood. And Wright breathed the warm air of human kindness into all his banking transactions, and it paid dividends.

His philosophy of life was noteworthy.

slf.edo. dne 26. ledna 1949.

"I always advise a young man starting out," Wright used to say, "not to have a chip on his shoulder, not to be ag gressive, but to go ahead straightforwardly as if he expected to be treated like anybody else, and it usually works.

The ability and honesty of a Negro will do more to put him ahead than his color to hold him back."

One of the great moments of his life was the enactment into Pennsylvania law to observe a national freedom day.

The annual observance at which he presided in Philadelphia were truly inspiring events. He originated the idea of celebrating the first of February as National Freedom Day—the same way as the nineteenth of June here in Texas— and the day, February 1, began to be observed in many states.

Unfortunately, although he conceived the idea for an annual National Freedom Day observance, although he promoted it vigorously for many years and was the person primarily responsible for its adoption by the State of Pennsylvania and finally by the Congress of the United States, he did not live to see this great dreaM of his come true. He died at the age of ninety-three shortly before Senate Joint Resolution 37 was passed by the two Houses of Congress last June, and enacted into law.

National Freedom Day will always stand as a monument to the effort of the ex-slave boy. "Massa, tell 'em we're rising" is enriched in its meaning.—A. E. ) • 4 •( WHO KNOWS THIS ONE? Some two weeks ago a very friendly old lady made a statement that Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was born in Fayette County and that his parents moved later to Fredericksburg. She claimed that while traveling with some of her relatives from Brenham to La Grange, she was shown the birthplace where Nimitz was born. Could some of our members from Fayette County confirm this story?

—A. E. •( ) WATCHMAKER WANTED Under this heading a small ad was inserted back in 1887 in one of the Chicago newspapers. It asked to state age. experience, and salary required.

The small advertisement was placed there by a man named Richard W. Sears.

A watchmaker by the name Alva Roebuck answered it. Thus the partnership of Sears and Roebuck started sixty-two years ago. )• 4 •( Buying what you do not need is an easy road to needing what you cannot buy.

Ye stkedu, dne 26. ledna,1.9211; COMRADSHIF WITH CHILDREN We all remember when we were children, some of us clearly, most rather vaguely as in a clouded mirror. Such memories are certainly not enough to guide us through the years in which we must supply some of the understanding how to establish and • maintain close comradship with our children.

If you care for your children properly you lose them. If you paint your house, or if you cultivate your field, you get certain benefit from your property. But your child is not your property. You look at your child, a part of you is there, but the baby has also four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen greatgreat- grandparents, already thirty ancestors in one hundred years, and so on back. You may think the child belongs to you, and is quite naturally very much like you. But the child is not your property. If you lose your house, you fail.

If you keep your son or daughter, you fail. Children grow up in families, with fathers and mothers, but they must grow out of the families. Strange, isn't it. You never thought of it in that light.

Each generation has tried to teach the next generation how to live. Our fathers and mothers taught us how to live. When we go back to our grandparents and our great-grandparents, we are lost. We know nothing. We don't know what sort of schooling they had, if they were above average, just average, or illiterate. We don't even know how their names were written then.

Many of our parents and grandparents, if we are of Czech descent, lived fairly happily or on the edge of starvation in some village located in a province called Bohemia, or Moravia, in a constitutional monarchy. They went to church regularly, where, ever so often, a national hymn was sung, "Save our emperor, oh, Lord." In the homes in which these parents or grandparents grew up, there were some really important jobs for each child if the whole family was to be comfortable. There was wood to be gathered, dry twigs and limbs to be brought home from the woods which belonged to a nobleman; there was ashes to be carried out and to be sifted over a small patch called field; there was a garden to be spaded and hoed; there was a goat or a cow to be cared for.

Probably at one time or another the parent, as a child, had to run, and run with all strength, to get a help from neighbors, because a doctor was what we would now call the next county. Children were born in the same house, generation after generation. Our grandfather could point to the same thatched-roof

:V tVII N K VirEST, TEXAS house and say: "I was born here, my father was born here, and also my grand father."

Today no one is born in the house in which his father was born. Everything is on the move; people, moral and economic standards, habits, trailers, everything. Each generation develops new ways, provides new methods of living.

Yet each grdup, as it gets older and new babies are reared, passes on to them the new achievements, and forgets some of the, things which the previous generation was employing in the "good old days."

Today each set of fathers looking at the rising generation makes the complain, "If I had done that to my father, when I was of your age, he would have smacked me down." But the child may be feeling his independence, learning a new way of getting approval, a new method of adjusting to success or failure.

We boast that we try to develop child's independence and resourcefulness. The child asks about so many things. We answer patiently. Finally we get tired and turn on him: "Jimmie, I'm busy. Now you just stop asking questions."

He looks disappointed. "Oh, mom, can't I ask just one more. I was just going to. I'll stop, but just one more. I want to know."

"All right, but only one."

Jimmie's eyes were wide-open to learn new things: "Mom, how far can a cat spit?"—A. E. ) • 4•( HOW FILLING STATIONS STARTED It is estimated that the nation's automobile filling stations now outnumber our grocery stores. On every well-traveled highway one may have a choice. Every important junction has from two to four stations. It was no talways so. Thirtyseven years ago there was not a single filling station in all the land. In 1912, owners of the 750,000 automobiles were dependent upon periodic visits of horsedrawn tanks peddling kerosene and the unimportant by-product, gasoline.

In the spring of 1913 one of these drivers had an idea. Instead of driving from one motorist to another, he would ask them to come to him. So, in Columbus, Ohio, this man, ,Harvey V. Wickliff, opened the first filling station in the United States. He stayed in business seventeen years. Twenty years ago, Wickliff retired. Two weeks ago, in Columbus, Ohio, at the age of 85, he died. )• 4 • ( Our greatest ill is trying complicated remedies that won't work, and neglecting simple remedies we know will work.

—E. W. Howe.

Strana, SALES RESISTANCE In a small Texas town, an aggressive salesman knocked on the door of a ramshackle house. As the housewife opened the door, he tossed a blob of mud on 'the, front room rug. "Now, take it easy, lady," he said calmly. "Don't get excited. I am demonstrating the Whirlwind Deluxe electric vacuum cleaner. If this amazing machine doesn't remove every trace'of dirt on your rug, I'll eat every bit of` mud."

The indignant woman went to her kitchen and returned in a few ininuteS' with a plate—and a rolling pin. She put them both an the table with care, rolled up her sleeves, picked up the rolling pin and got ready to swing.

"But, lady," protested the salesnian, "Watch me clean up this mess."

"Start eating!" the housewife com manded. "We ain't got no electricity!" ) • 4 •( If we had a century more to live and had no other work to do, we should devote every minute of it to preaching the gospel of joy and happiness. That is the apostolic work that the world most needs today. Life is so short, and so full of (partly unavoidable) woe and disappointment, that to take away the , few joys nature has vouchsafed us is nothing short of criminal.—Dr. W. 3. Robinson. ) The substitute speaker apologized that he had to take the place of another .bet-, ter speaker. He said he felt like a bone) of rags stuffed in a window, instead of the real thing, real glass.

Stromovi v alejich bylo nepesteno, poln cesty v zubolenem stavu a jedinY pohled znaletiv uhodl, ze ani pole nebyla naldite obdelavana, adkoliv byla firodna a nachazela se v kraji, kterY byl poeitan mezi polehnane.
