Pani Brodenova chysta operu Smetanovu V pinem provedeni, nikoliv jenom v koncertni forme, co 2 znamena v dobovYch kostYmech a cele yYprave. Jak znamo zasvecencilm divadelni einnosti, vypraveni zpevohry neni maliekosti a vy' aduje velkeho organisaeniho a umeleckeho itsi1I.

V eem tkvi eeskost Smetanova dila.

Onehda, jsme v teto stati veene sveli a pouta,va Smetanova zpevohra "Prodand nevesta" bude sehrana, v Houstone a Fort Worth, o nij snad kaAdY ponekud seetely krajan Ci krajanka eetli, ne Z nemaji skuteene ptedstavy, co toto dilo znamena pro Cechoslovaky doma i v zahra,niei.

Bedtich Smetana je zakladatelm Ceske narodni hudby. Poslechnete si na desce nebo v rozhlase, ptedelaru k Prodane neveste Ci kteroukoli jeji arii (Verne milovani, Ach jak Y to Zal, kdyZ srdce oklamano, Rozmysli si, Marenko a jine) a mate pied sebou ducha eeskeho naroda jako na dlani. A piece snad nebudete umet na pi'vni raz Povedet, v eem te je vlastne ta eeskost, eim to, Ze tyto melodie, toto Smetanovo dilo tak hluboce vrostlo do srdce naroda. JeAte ve.Smetanove dobe zaealy ye stare vlasti spory o narodni charakter hudebniho dila. Byl jeden tabor, kterY tvrdil, Ae narodnosti lze nejlepe dosahnout ptimou citaci (hranim) narodnich melodii a, byla dokonce vypsana velka cena na takovou operu. Smetana se hned z poeatku razne optel takovemu pojeti rodni hudby a ukazal hudbou i perem, jak on se na tuto otazku diva. Poslal dokonce do zminene soute2e operu, ktera nevyhovovala soutOnYm podminkam — Braniboti v Cechach — a piece se svymi narodnimi a hudebnimi kvalitami prosa-

Jen ten skladatel stane se skuteene mluveim naroda, ktery se zatadi do narodniho spoleeenstva a stane se ptedstavitelem jeho tuteb, hlasem jeho idealu, bojovnikem za jeho lepSi To nejlepSi, co narod vytvotil, pietavi se v jeho mysli na novY tvar, stard forma 0--kje novou mykenkou, znamy rytmus se rortanei novYm Lvotem. Sledujte Prodanou nevestu takt po taktu. Ani na jednom miste nenajdete upottebeni narodni melodie a piece: kolik je tu aril, ktere jako by vytvotil ne skladatel, ale lid sam, kolik arii z tohoto dila znarodnely na phklad: "Proe bychom se neteSili", "Znam jednu divku, ta ma dukaty" atd. Smetanova Prodana nevesta je plodem jeho dokonaleho skti s narodem, pro ktery a plodem usilovne price a hledani. A Smetana a jeho Prodand nevesta nejnarnenejk eeska, opera pro vSechny veky — je ptikladem pro dobu dneSni i pro doby nasledujici.

Odporueujeme nakm krajanfun v Houstone i Fort Worth, aby si nedali ujit tak ojedinelou ptilektost kochati se jisktivou, libivou hudbou a. zpevy Prodane nevesty, ktera byla sehrana v Narodnim divadle v Praze uZ pat.. nietsetkrat, davana po cele Evrope — te2 proslulou Metropolitan Opera spoleenosh v New Yorku a strhuje obecenstvo vkly a vAude.

No jen kdyby dobte zapr gelo, tak mnozi by si aspon pro sebe yypestovali pottebnou zeleninu. My jsme se u2 trochu najedli, ovgem ze jsme ji museli zalevat, ale ted' nam Pan pomohi. Take jsme si naseli trochu hra,chu, tez mame trochu zeli a drobnel gich semen mame trochu v zemi, tak jestli nam to nezmrzne budeme mit co jist. Brzy budeme sazet zemaly, vgak ty lonske nam uz dochazi a budeme zas kupovat. Mluvil jsem s jednYra mladikem o tech pracich. On pravil, ze on u2 mohl mit par tisic, kdyby si toho vice byl ya;Zil a "neffiloval" s karami, ale dodal, ze penize tu budou a my ne. Tak bude dkit bude start', anebo chodit po 2ebrote.

Nag reliser br. StraZnickY dobte vybral svoje herce pro jednotlive filohy; dobte se pro ne hodily a spravne je sehrali.

Hiavni osoba "Zimmerman" ptedstavovala Hitlera, a br. Sebek ji mistrne sehral, ani ty y lasy do oei Hitlerovych mu neschazely, a jeho triky a gpinava hitlerovska politika byly znazorneny ptvottidne.

A ten na g dedceek-Kronikat, hra,nY br. J. Svrekem z Rosenbergu, byl dobte zachycen. Br.

Ctend redakce, etenaki a mil* spolubratx e Frank Moueko!

Poeinam s uprimnym planim mnoha dobra a At'astne budoucnosti v tomto roce, ptichazim opet mezi nae mile spolubratry a sestry na chvilku se vypzpovidat a tim uleheit sire htiAne dui. To mire prospiva i na duchu, kdyZ si mohu posteZovat. Takto neptinakm nic zylatniho pro SirSi zajem, neb tech novot marne zajiste viichni stejne pine hlavy. Ta nebudu ani ptiporninat, Ze jsem °pet o jeden rok stari, neb pkedem ji Z vim, k byste asi kekli, no tohle my vime, ze nej en ty jsi stark, neb my jsme taky starkmi. Tedy yam sdeluji, e kdyZ sledujeme ten Zivot lidsky, co vie se ptitrefi, ja minulY tYden zakl jsem si do obchodu p. Louis Pavelky, kde Z byl mirj dobry pkitel Will Salae.

Shanel nekoho, kdo by s nim jel na ten president& bal, a Ze jsme dobti ptatele tika, nu jak vy strYee, nechtel byste to zkusit, nebude vas to nic stat, jen budete se koukat na mapu a kikat "ha" nebo Ja ilikam, no uvidime co mne mamka bude tikat, neb ja, byl -Opine jisty, zakrouti hlavou a kekne, tam za peel sedet budeSaa co jsem byl jistY Ze se nestane stalo se. KdyZ jsem ptichazel k domovu, tu vidim, e manZelka prave byla na veranda a kid', na patu, a tak ja hned na prahu tikam, Ze mam umluveno se Salaeem, Ze rano pojedeme na ten president-0.v bal a ji Z jsem Cekal, e odveti, nikam! A ja se tail, Ze si sednu k teplYm kammlm, tu manzelka odveti, nu ze preci ti jednou neco dobreho napadlo, neb tam te nauei moresu, pti tomto Spatnem poeasi ti ustaviene kikam, kdyZ jdei dovnitl, oeisti si dobte baekory, abys neipinil podlahu, ale ty to otlukS neco z blata, jeden sttevic hodis za kamna, druhy pod lavici, kabat co inns povesit na veiak nechai na stolici, a tak ti to bude dobrou ikolou, neb tam se budes muset drzet jak gentleman a ne jak bys prisel do dobytCi ohrady. Tedy jsem zaiel k panu Tom efeikovi, kde potadali take nejakou tanecni zabavu a tam p. Salad cekal na, odpoved'. Ptistoupirn k nernu a sdeluji, ze jsem volny jak ptak a ptam se, co vsechno si mam vzit sebou. Na to mne p. W. Saladodveti,vis pkiteli, ono se mne to prave rozleZelo v hlave, ze bude lepe kdyz nikam nebudeme zajiklet, neb radio oznamilo, ze se zene velka boute a vse ze bude pod ledem a kdo nemusi jet, by byl doma. Ale to na nine pusobilo jak byste se mne balvan shodili a tikam, tot vii, bed jak bad, tedy zilstaneme u Tom efeika. A to 2 jsme to tak oslavili, ze mne jiz treti tyden boli hlava. Dne 24. dcera a zet strojili se, ze zajedou ke druhe deal vypomoct papirovat domov, mariZelka se stroji take, ja byl nekde na dvoke, volaji ze jedou k SirnYm, bych se Sel vypravit, tedy jeli jsme vieci.

Manielka abych jel s dcerou a zetem, ona Ze znstane u decry, ja odpovidam, myslim Ze bys mela jet domt take, ale ona mne odveti, vSak tys byl na presidentskem bale, tedy nyni zas ja budu odbYvat besedu, cot jsem musel uznati za spravne. Jen k hned tu prvni noc se ptihnala velke, zima a dill jii etvrty den.

A tak jestli to eloveka nedopali, kdyZ v te nejvetSi zime musi Clo y& lehat sam, a tak vicekrat se nebudu na ten president& bal strojit. A lituji vkchny ty beelaky, neb ti zajiste vystoji to zimy, a obdivuji se, Ze iii viichni nezernteli, a mei by si vzit ptiklad z toho nemeho zvitete, i ta telatka v te ohrade polehaji si pospolu, by jim bylo teplo. Mnohy snad namitne, vklyt' ty v te nejvetSi zime musels spat take sam, na to yam odpovidam, Ze jsem nevinnY jak beranek, neb mne nebylo moZno manZelku domn dovezti, neb se pti te zime dalo do date, za ty tti dny spad vody obnak 21/2 palce, cot" rolnici vtele uvitali, ae vody do nadrZek to nenadelalo mnoho, ponevadZ to prielo mirne. Na pole je to velice dobre, neb ta zeme byla vypra,h16,, a dat' byl volnY. Tak mysli mne probiha myilenka, kdyZ se ty za„bavy delaji pro ty postiZene tou zaketnou nemoci polio zvanou, by ty lady co maji sine take jednou roene uspotadaly zabavu pro sve ditky, ktere jsou eleny. VYteZek z te zabavy byl by drZen kaZdym ladem pro plipad, kdyZ by nektere ditko onemocnelo, nael by lad na to ji 2 fond, Ze by mu na jeho narozeniny daroval nejakY darek. Oasto se stava, Ze jsou `stiZeny ditky nemajetnych rodien. My v naSern lade mame etyki ditky, jsou to fiechny rodiny delnikil a rentYku chudobnYch, a tak kdyZ by kaZdY obdrZel 10 dolartr, neb kolik by lad toho fondu mel, tedy zajiste by to ditko vZdy s laskou onen lad vzpominalo. PtemYSlejte o tom, broth a sestry.

Dne 15. tohoto mesice dokonal svou pozemskou pout' 841etY dedeeek Jiti Bravenec a nasledujiciho dne byl ulolen na narodnim htbitove v Seaton za doprovodu farate Frank Kostohryze.

Oknim se, fekl si opodlane. Jednou to udiniti musim a kaZde otaleni je jenom na Skodu. Nikdo mi doma tak neziStne neposlouZi a nepovede muj dornov jako Zena, a jakmile budu prost starosti o domov, bude mod. se tan lepe venovat svemu dvoru. Elektrisovalo ho to a zaeal hledati nevestu. Nemaje easu sam hledati a neznaje ani vhodna devoata, nerad sice, ale piece jen vzal ritodiSte k dohazovadi, o nemZ slySel, ze -utZ sta parkir svedl dohromady. Byl to bYvalY obchodnik, kterY zkracoval a chytil se dohazovaestvi vaeho, z echo se dival zisk.

Vzkazal si pro neho a za zavrenYmi dvermi s nrin promluvil. Citil z jeho deehu alkohol, mel pocit, ze je to Sejdil, ale nevedel si jine rady. Dohazovad tvaril se velmi dUlelite, hlavou pokyvoval, do sveho notYsku nahliZel, a potom klepaje si na eel°, prohlasil, ze vi dost a Ze do rnesice bude ruka v rukave.

"Vim o sledne, ktera je pro vas jako Lvc-kena," povidal, mkuraje odima a popotanuje se za svirj rozeuchanY knir. "Je ji jedenadvacet let, stvoreni je to krasne, pine Zivota, ma vzdelani, chodila do obchodni Skoly a povede yam tidty jako start' obchodnik."

"0 to nestojim, to si nejradeji deem sam," pleruSil ho. "Mlle se v prve rade jedna o to, aby dovedla vesti domacnost, a aby mela nejakY majetek. Nepotkebuji site penez, uZivim svou Zenu sam, ale platiti vysoke irroky cizim, prod by nemohla Zena vloZiti sve yen° do meho statku?"

"Mel jste me nechati domluvit, byl Weir yam i to rekl," kazal dulelite. "Ona je ze mlYna, jeji otec nadelal si za valky statisice, a devee dostane na dlari stopadesat tisic. To bude prozatim, pozdeji dostane jeSte vic, ale i to je hezke, protok ted' kaZda; ktera ma penize, utika do mesta, rirednika chce, vyhYba se venkovske praci, a takovY pan, jako vy, nenit* si piece nejake venkovske kopyto vziti, tomu ja. rozumim. Je to hospodykika, ze byste v celYch oechaeh lepSi nenaSel, umi nemecky jako desky, a ZeniSi si tam dveke podavaji."

"Cole se tak dlouho nevdava?" ptal se trochu nedtverive.

"Vybirala si," uSklibl se. "Prosim vas, takova prachova nevesta se rozrnYS11, vi dobfe, ze na ocet nezristane, a zde take je vhodnYch napadnikU pokidku. Uchazeli se o ni mlynaki, obehodnici, mall ri-

kedniekove, ale to zas start' tomu branil.

Dam-li dceli tolik penez, chei aby se dostala po pokadne rodiny, kde by byl majetek, a kde by byla zaruka, ae bude chranena pled bidou nebo pled Spatnyna zaelrazenim. A v tom ma pravdu, schvaloy al jsem mu to sam, protole vim, jak tolik penez lake, rtizne darebaky. raak tomu taky rozumite, byl jste ye svete a vite, co deladky se faude potlouka."

"Je to site pravda, ale hleda-li snad pouze nejakeho bohade, nebudu ji ja dost vhod. U mne musi se pkieiriovat, na nejake radovanky nejsem."

"NejSem dneki, dobre vim, co takovY dv-ar znamend. Prace tu je, ale je tu take majetek. DraStieky jsou zlatY dill, dnes by za ne bylo o kolik set tisic vic, neZ co jste za ne dal, a pani, kterou si sem privedete, bude hrat tirlohu, jako bYvala hrabenka. Arci, sluZku ji musite vziti, to ted' v Zadnem lepSim dome bez sluZky nejsou."

"Samortejme, ze nebudu chtiti, aby ma Zena delala sluZku, ani bych ji toho nedovolil, ale neco delati musi, ja taky se pkieiriuji, abych si zajistil budouenost.

Jenk nevime dosud, bude-li chtiti si me vziti, a ja bych take rad ji poznal neZ, pronesu rozhodne slovo."

"OvSem, ovSem, to se rozumi, ze je t o tak spravne. Postaram se, abyste ji napled videl na, podobizne, a prezvim od stareho, co by tomu rikal. On bude otec miti hlavni slovo, je palidatY, a tkebak ma deem rad, piece "jen porouei on. Za nejakY den prijdu, a to 1,1Z budu moudrej si. A kdyby treba z toho nic nebylo, do to doby zvim o neeem jinem, kdybych mel po cele maul jezdit a petrat. Ostudu bych mel, abych ja nena gel nevestu, se kterou budete spokojen." , Nadmul se sebevedome, musil Ulovec potladiti rismev, kterY ho draZdil, a kdyZ dohazovad odekl, eimsi znepokojen pfechazel po svem nevlidnem pokoji. Citil nespokojenost sam se sebou, phipadalo mu ohavne, ze svou pristi, Zenu dava hledati dohazovadi. Mel radeji inseratem v novinach hledat sve Stesti, bylo by to diskretni a mei moZnost vYberu.

Ale ovSem, to by potom musil jezditi pkesvedeit se, jak ta, kterou by si vybral, vypada, musil by odpovidati na mnoZstvi dopisti, a to vSechno bylo by spojeno jeSte s vetSimi nephijemnostmi, ne2 zaZije s dohalovadem. Eh, co, nebude-li s tou mlynarovic deerou spokojen, udini tomu kratky konec, odmitne dalSi sluZby do hazovadovy a najde si nekoho znameho, kde mu obstard inseraty a z tech vybere nekolik, ktere budou nejlepe odpovidat jeho pkanim. Potom si dva, tki dny udeld volno ,a zajede si ke koneenemu rozhodnuti do Prahy.

Presto byl neklidnY, oeekavaje phichod dohazovaeriv. Hadal, ze se v Vdnu obje-

Ve stTedu, dne 2. fmora 1949. vi, a tun nastane jasno. Byl pfekvapen, kdyZ se dostavil tretiho dne. Hned kdyZ ho videl vstupovat, napadlo ho. ze phichazi s dobrYmi zprexami. Usmival se, jaksi kamaradsky pozdravoval sahaje do kapsy, vyjimal obalku, ze kteie vytahl podobiznu, Anil by kekl jedineho slova, podaval mu kabinetni podobiznu devi.tete, a podepkev si dlane o boky, dival se pozorne na Oldficha, kterY se se zajmem zadival na obra,zek.

Netajil se pfekvapenim. Pkesto, ze podobizna obvykle kaZdemu lichoti, tohle byla skuteena krasavice. Byla odividne bruneta, mela velike, jiskrive oei, jeji oblidej byl pravidelnY, mela, bohate vlasy, sliene strojene hrdlo a svAdne poprsi.

Kolem rtir tkvel risme y a cosi rozkoSneho bylo vepsano v celem zjevu.

"Nu tak, libi se yam?" pkeruSil dohazovad ticho.

"Hezka, je," pfitakal upkimne.

"To si myslim, v celem kraji byste hezdi nena gel. Je to deuce jako obrazek, muZSti se za ni blazni, ale ona si s nimi jenom hraje, smich si z nich tropi, a je nevinna jako kvet jablone. Krybyste fekl, ze se yam nelibi, byl byste slept'."

"Libi se mi, phijde v gak na to, libimli se ji ja," namital trochu vesele.

"0 to neni starost, zna vas videla vas jednou ve meste o trhu, na nemZ s otcem byla, a ptala se, kdo vlastne jste.

Lide vas uZ dobke znaji, ttebaZe Zijete jako poustevnik."

"Nernam ani easu, ani chuti, behati po zabavach, pfednejSi je povinnost."

"Spravne, to se vSechno vi, a proto take mlynal ay byl s vami spokojen. Rozhodnete-li se pro sleenu Sabinu, mate je ye m1Yne navStiviti. To se ostatne rozumi samo sebou, ze k nim sam zajdete se domluvit. U selskYch svateb jednavam taky o venu a vYmenku, ale takovi pani, jako jste vy a mlynak, ti nepotfebuji me rady. Tak co, bude z toho rnradna, debt'?"

"Nekikam, ze nebude, zajdu do mlyna, bylo by mi vAak mile, kdybych tarn mohl jiti v nedeli. Mem o vS'ednich dnech praei a take ye mlYne bYva v tYdnu jiste hod ne lidi."

"Zrovna jsem yam chtel rici, abyste vybral nedeli, oni sami si to take pkeji.

Zajdete tam v nedeli rano, promluvite si s nimi a domluvite-li se, zristanete na obed, abyste dojednali sriatek. Po obede zajedete s nimi do Drastieek a do mesice bude mlade, mani zde. Chci viset, nebude-li do to doby vSechno odbyto a doutam, i.e potom mi pan Ulovee poskytne odmenu," dodaval drirazne.

"Zajiste, odmenim se yam. Co Zadate, dojde-li ke sriatku?" ,"Tisicovku dostanu, lacino, to delam, pro ptiSti znamost. Pan statkak bude prodavat a kupova,t dobytek, a v tom se vy-

Ve stledu, drie 2. nnora 1949. znam, spolehnete se na mne. A neo gidim vas, jako to jini dovedou. Kdybych byl taSkal, mel bych uh jmeni, ale jednam spravedlive a lidsky, a proto protloukarn hivobyti, jak se dd. A nenatikam, Clo y& je spokojen, je-li zdrav, a ma li ve svete test."

"Nezapomenu na vas a dam yam, co ha. date. I kdy k sriatku nedcjde, zaplatim vam rad, ale vice hledat nemusite, miaj pragskY znamY mi to opatti."

"Jen abyste se nenapalil," zachytl se pot'ouchle. "Prahske sleeinky jsou poveden& fiflenky, ty by delaly milostpanioky, ale hospodatit se jim nechce. Sem musi prijiti hospodyne, ktera rozumi, co prate je. Ani delat nemusi, ale poroueet, aby sluhebni yeah, he v gechno zna.

Kolik pane se uh tak napalilo, mohl bych kroniky povidat."

"Nekikam, ze si vezmu device z Prahy, ale nemam 'Droste' easu neco shanet. 0statne o vas vim a nezapomenu na vas."

Vlidne se s dohazovaeem roze gel a slibil, ze v nedeli dopoledne do mlyna pHjede, a potom pin starosti podital, kdy uh nedele prijde a jak si ma poeinati, aby do nejakeho pekla nevlezl. ttechou mu byla podobizna Sabineina. Byla opravdu velmi sliona a bude-li i jeji postava tak privabna,, ziskal by hezkou henu.

laths to You The first four issues of our new Englist Section have evidently met with general approval and I only wish it were possbile for me to write a letter of thanks and appreciation to every member who has written so kindly and cordially telling about his satisfaction with the first issues. I can only take this means ,of saying "Thanks to YOU." My position in connection with our official organ is somewhat the same ,as the rest of you who read it. I wait for the appearance of every issue of Vestnik with as much anxiety as many of you, and read each issue with much surprise.

Living two hundred miles from the place of publication, I have no definite way of knowing just what articles or statements of mine would appear this week or next, week. The material has to be sent in, ahead in time, and additional reports, letters, and contributions are sent to Brother Moucka as they arrive. For that reason I am not quite sure how much of my material will appear in print this week or the following week. Therefore, I- am surprised and interested in seeing each issue of Vestnik arranged, and I read it with the same anticipation and pleasure as the rest of you.

Every member who is satisfied with the enlargement of our paper and pleased with the material printed in its pages should see that Vestnik is brought to the attention of all of the members for, after all, whatever good work Vest-. nik can do is limited by the number, of readers this paper has each week. Therefore, the increase of readers will mean an increase of interest in the SPJST. For that reason, everyone of the readers of Vestnik, or of the English Section, should make it his or her business to speak among other members and find out if they read our organ regularly.

Personally, I shall be glad to hear from any member with regard to articles and items that you think should' be touched upon in Vestnik and I will do my best to treat the subjects in detail; Fraternally, A. E. prairie dogs.

Every new idea must wage its own struggle. The fight for progress is never ended.--A. E.

Fr If we could compile the statistics of the SPJST members, we would find that the majority of them live in small towns.

Although many of them are experiencing a richer life than our fellow members crowded in metropolitan communities, yet some feel they would like to leave and go to Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, or some other large place to live.

The big cities are glamorous and are a powerful magnet for our young people; hut after age and experience have tempered the headlong impulses of youth, reason tells us that the happiest place to live is in a small town. There is usually a trend for young people to go to the city for employment with an idea they can enjoy life more and also have more excitement and happine,sS than they can get in their home town. The fact is they are running away for the happiness they are seeking.

Of course, the glamorous city life, theaters, recreation centers, and similar attractions lure them for a while. But when they have chased the rainbow and • have lived high for a time, they usually are ready to settle down in almost any good town. They realize the arrow they shot in the air dropped right down in the town they left.

As a rule, we do not stop to value the importance of all the various jobs in the small town, or the people who take cdre of these positions. Most people take [or granted all the services that help make up the American way of life.

For instance, take the depot agent waiting for a late train, which is his job, always has in mind that he is doing something worthwhile in the community.

At times he is asked to mail our letter which we are sending to the Headquarters or to our editor which "got to go." He is very courteous, and his attitude shows that he likes to accommodate. " Down the street we glance in a windoW and see the telephone operator and her various employees at work, bringing messages and voices together from all parts of the world, and also giving out other information such as the correct time, the weather reports, etc.

If we think seriously about smalltown life, we will discover many jobs that are not big in salary, yet are big in importance to our safety and com-

ort. It would be impossible to get along without the services of most of them.

The plumber or tinsmith is a very handy man when we have trouble with a leaky roof or faucet. The town mayor, with the village trustees, holding weekly meetings; the justice of peace holding court; the attorneys, bankers, insurance men; the friendly merchants and courteous clerks who serve us faithfully with pride each day; the local ministers who give us spiritual advice and consolation when we are troubled; the principal of our school and his faculty with whom we trust the education of our children; our good family doctor who knows almost everyone's life history and who is ready to come at a moment's notice when he is caned, regardless of the time of night or day, to give us pain-killing drugs—all are ready and willing to serve.

On one of the side streets, near the edge of town, works the genial blacksmith. No one can value his worth to the nearby farmers or the townspeople.

Various garages are busy repairing cars, trucks, and so forth, the electrician and radio repairmen are always busy working for the comfort of all.

On our main streets we see the United States flag waving each day and a sign on this building reads "U. S. Post Office."

Here we find the rural carriers, clerks, and postmaster working at all hours, early and late, through rain, heat, sleet, or snow, efficiently and courteously bringing news from people in all parts of the world, keeping business and pleasure on a normal scale, seeing that all mail is dispatched and delivered promptly.

Then there is the town-news editor who follows us all through life, recording our record of birth, marriage, various undertakings, and finally death.

How often we take him for granted. He is usually present at all local happenings, and gives an interesting account of our local events.

There are also other morale builders, the librarian, who adds tremendously to our local culture; the barbers, beauticians, drycleaners, shoe repairmen, public stenographers, the dressmaker and the people who work long, late hours in hotels and restaurants.

But, friends, wait a minute. Do you think that all this cannot be bought in a large city? Of course it can, but there are things we have in a small town that cannot be bought anywhere else, and these are the friendly deeds and personal touch we enjoy and feel when we obtain these services.

When our friends and neighbors come to us, open-hearted, helping us to share

Ve stredu,

our sorrows and joys, nothing can take their place. The touch of neighbors and friends, which brings a small town together, exists to a superlative degree in any small town.

They come to us individually without hesitation or invitation to help lighten our burden and share our joys or sorrows.

When he heard that the show was to appear in another city last week, he immediately reserved the seats. You couldn't guess the full name of the organization.

Merger of T. Czech E HAVE read with a feeling • of pride, pleasure, and satisfaction the report of consolidation of two Czech fraternal associations, the Czech Ladies Benevolent Society, of Cleveland, Ohio, with the second strongest Czech fraternal organization in the United States, the Czechoslovak Society of America.

The memorable event took place on the 2nd of January, 1949, in the auditorium of Sokol Havlicek Tyrs, in Chicago. The event must have been a phenomenal success, according to the report given in the official organ of the Czechoslovak Society of America, for the ushers were reluctantly refusing admittance thirty minutes before the beginning of the program and informing the guests that all places were completely sold out. Some visitors arrived as early as two hours before the program.

But let Brother Miles Bezdek, editor of• CSA. Journal tell about this momentous celebration in his own words: "It was a solemn moment, one that will remain long in the memory of those who witnessed it, when Sister Marie Ruzicka symbolically gave her much loved society into the hands of Brother Muzik, representing our CSA. Her words were not many but all of us knew they were from her heart. It was a farewell, and at the same time a greeting. A farewell to her loved CSPJ. and a greeting In CSA. for which sister Ruzicka will work with all her heart and strength.

The CSA, has gained in numerical strength, It is true, but better yet, the CSA. has gained many willing, able and experienced members. We greet them with all our hearts and extend to them our hands in warmest welcome.

On February 6, 1846, a solemn and significant ceremony took place at Austin. While canon fired a salute, the Lone Star Flag of l'evi,s was slowly lowered from its staff in front of the Capitol building and a new flag was run up in its place, the red, white, and blue banner of the United States. Anson Jones, the last president of the Republic of Texas, made the historical announcement: "The final act in this great drama is now performed; the Republic of Texas is no more." Many eyes were wet when Anson JoneS spoke; yet those same eyes were prOud :for most of them the flag of the United States meant the places where they came from to settle outside of the United States. They felt that they returned` to the country in which they had been born. They felt at home.

The COnstitution of 1861.—After Texas seceded from the Union, the Constitution of 1845 was subjected to general amendment by a convention which met at Austin March 2 and adjourned March 25, 1861. This Constitution of 1861 served Texas while it was a member of the Confederacy.

The Constitution of 1866.—After the Civil War President Johnson ordered Texas to make a new constitution in line with the changes brought about by the war. Acting on the president's suggestion, Texas called a constitutional convention to meet in Austin on February 7, 1866. This convention proceeded to change the old Constitution so that it recognized the abolition of slavery, declared-secession illegal, and repudiated the war debt. Little was done to change the political status of the negro. Under this new constitution, J. W. Throckmorton of McKinney was elected goverpor and a legislature friendly to the intee is of Texas was elected to aid him in bringing about reconstruction in Texas in harmony with the plans of President Johnson.

At this time, however, .Congress unfortunately fell under the control of a few ,i)ort-sighted radical leaders who lilt; that the South should be further p[1,1,,11,-,d and that the freedmen should gi v en a status of complete equality tJith We whites.

The Constitution of the State of Texas is a document of approximately 35,000 words, one of the longest of the forty-eight State Constitutions. It is approximately five times as long as the Constitution of the United States. It is characterized by the great amount of detail contained, much of which is of the nature of what is usually statutory law. This is attributed by historians and those in the profession of law to the fact that the State Constitution was adopted in 1876 at the end of the period of great confusion and uncertainty. The writers of the Constitution believed that democratic government could be safeguarded only by diffusing authority in such a way as to make it impossible for any official to exert great authority, and by prescribing minute limitations on the agencies of government.

There have been, consequently, numerous amendments. From the adoption of the Constitution in 1876 to Jan. 1, 1948, about 1,700 resolutions proposing amendments to the State Constitution have been introduced in the Legislature.

Of this great number, 172 have received the two-thirds vote required to bring about submission to the voters of the state. Of these 172 proposed amendments, 95 have been adopted, 75 have been rejected, 1 was voted for submission but never submitted, and 1 was submitted illegally and later withdrawn.—A. E. ) • 4(

by Do We Believe As We Do? Let us first look at that pretty, friendly little brunette girl in the bank. She is much more meticulous and conscientious in her work than you might anticipate. She really works hard. She stays late in order to check double check her books. The other employees in the bank kid her about her rosy complexion and her blushing she gets into when her balance is out a few cents. She doesn't understand it herself. She wishes that she would quit being so silly about such things and take them as easily as others do.

We can much more easily get information about her income tax or about her family than about why she acts as she does. Yet behind her need to get things done right lies some European story.

You wouldn't guess it, for is sounds incredible.

Her father was a boy in Slovakia when that province was a part of the old dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, established in 1867 and fallen apart in 1918. He was brought uD in, the part that the

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS Hungarian government tried to change into a solid Magyar nation. Living there wasn't easy. He was a "dratenik," a wireworker, but not in the sense of electrician, but only in the primitive way of making mousetraps, wire baskets, and crockery-mending. Life of a human being wasn't worth much, and you had to live right or you might be rotting in a vermin-infested jail. He was trained to live right. He survived measles, chicken pox, drafting in the Hungarian army, and three years of military servitude.

He came to the United States and landed in Galveston, a free man but afraid of life. He was afraid of any deviation from a rigidly laid out routine. You had to be there on time, you had to be careful what you said, you had to watch out what friends you made, you had to think about keeping your job.

His four children grew up in this fear of life. The second oldest rebelled, left home with the conviction that "the old man was crazy." The other three stayed at home, felt resentful towards their father's philosophy of life but not quite certain whether he might not after all be right. They accepted his viewpoint on most things.

The little brunette girl chose the relatively safe and permanent kind of employment: a correctly laid out routine that a bank provides. She was careful, precise, punctilious to a high degree, sensitive, and very careful of other people's feeling. Her behavior was a reflection •of her father's boyhood.

Then came a nervous breakdown. She fell in love with a dashing, handsome boy, rather carefree, thriftless, with no thought for the future. He was brought up as the majority of the American boys are brought up, in a country where there had been no secret police, no gendarmes, no need to look around before making a statement. He was the very opposite of what her father was. Her conflict between her feeling for the young man and her fear of breaking from her father's design of living was too severe to be adjusted, and hence the breakdown.

This introduction brings us to the discussion of a subject termed "conflicting cultures." Where children are brought up to place two different meanings to the same thing, there is bound to be conflict. This often is the case of first generation immigrants. The home training places one kind of value on the child's behavior, and the outside influences demand an entire diferent pattern of living. Let us digress fora moment into a bit of sociological jargon to grasp the difference in view of parents

Strain, 23

and children.

Culture is made up of the beliefs, COS. toms, and techniques of a people. Thp customs are divided into "folkways" and "mores." Folkways are the conventional ways of feeling, thinking, and behaving. It is a pattern of living or a habit of behaving where one lives. •To violate any of these folkways might get one criticized mildly, be called "foreigner," or be even ridiculed, but nobody would become violent when he saw another eating peas with a knife.

But the "mores"—pronounced mo'-reez —are different. They are manners which have the force of law. They are charged with a high emotional feeling. For example, if the Star Spangled Banner is being played, the individual dare not remain seated. If he does, he is considered an ignorant European. A man ordinarily dare not go up to his friend's wife in a crowd and kiss her publicly, for he would be violating the family mores. A twig of misletoe or a New Year's celebration might sanction this violation. A Negro woman and a white would not walk arm in arm in Texas or in any southern city. The racial mores do not tolerate such behavior.

The folkways, since they do not carry a heavy emotional charge, can be changed quite easily. A new fad may change them overnight. When our mothers and grandmothers came from Europe, they were advised to wear a bonnet, even to a church, instead of the beautiful headkerchiefs they had. The introduction of "babushka" changed this. Moreover, laws may be pass-ed, eliminating some and introducting others. The people will usually fall in line. But let an attempt be made to legislate within the range involving the mores, especially if large numbers era compelled to change their mores, and there may be Lucifer to pay.

The mores cannot always be explain ed rationally. For example, we eat beet, lamb, and pork, but we do not eat dog or cat. Logically, there is nobody wlio could explain why pork roast should be better than dog stew. A dog is cleaner than a pig, yet the mere thought is re pulsive to us.

There are some African peoples wino will not eat chicken or eggs. They would revolt at the thought of eating eggs and poultry. Their delicacy is grasshoppers.

The delicacy of our "upper crust" is caviar, the eggs of fish, but it is selclem used or relished by the populace in general.

The fact is that the food mores, like other mores, are woven into the inner fabric of our personality, the weaving

SLIrana 24 having begun even before we were able to understand. They are heavilY charged with . emotions, and reason cannot touch them. No simple, denunciation, no accusation of pure judgment or prejudice will dislodge them.

A few years ago a scientist carried out an experiment in what is termed "conditioning." He worked with the iris of the eye, whose relaxation and contraction are caused. by the amount of light present, and ordinarily are beyond conscious control.

This scientist flashed a light into a man's eye and, at the same time, spoke the ward "Contract," The iris of the eyes contracted, not because of the word spoken but because of the light. Then he turned off the light and spoke the word "Relax." Again, the iris relaxed, not because of what he said but because he turned off the light.

He repeated this process twenty-five times, and then he quit using the light.

He only said "Contract." The iris contracted, He went further. He asked the man to whisper the words to himself, and then simply to think them. The iris contracted when the man thought the word "Conrtact," and it relaxed when he thought the word "Relax."

That experiment gives us a real insight into the nature of how we establish a pattern of thinking. Certain words, situations, and ideas, if used over and again, act as buttons to release specific reaction. Consider what happens within the individual when such words and 'meanings of words as "Jew," "politician," ""nigger," "bolshevik," get hooked up with the nervous centers.

Now, let us go back to that pretty little brunette. who was constantly influenced by her well-meaning father whose one misfortune was that he was brought up under different conditions than his children. There was the clashing of the European and the American cultures.

It is a matter of fact that the children of immigrants have a greater struggle to adjust themselves to the conflicting instructions than either the immigrants 'themselves or the children of the first generation.

Often, too, is the influence of the parents of the wrong kind. For example, the daughter who does not feel that she can marry because it would mean leaving her mother, the same mother who had succeeded in tying the daughter to 'her apron-strings When the child was defenseless, by constantly repeating, "Mother knows best;" "If you are not a geod girl, I'll give you away:" "You don't love your Mother if you act like that."

That mother had managed to put a ring

Vt STNiK— WEST, TEXAS of guilty feeling in her daughter's nose for the rest of her life, and anyone who knows how to get his finger on that ring will be able to lead the daughter around at will.

This is not to single out any particular behavior of parents. This is spoken in defense of the younger generation— say, my boy—who was given milk, and bread, and .other food together with ideas, judgements, ways of acting, only to accept, reject, or modify what he was taught. Often, by the time he is old enough to, evaluate two cultures, it is too late to form his own set of values, his own scale for judging people, and appraisal of his own acts. Then his life keeps him guessing, mostly wrong, most of the time.—A. E. ) WHAT A MAN! Some fellows can get away with anything. There's one in our neighborhood that does. Morals don't mean a thing to him. He's unmarried, and lives openly with a woman he's crazy about; and doesn't care what the neighbors say or think. He has no regard for truth or law. The duties of the so-called good citizen are just so much bunk as far as he's concerned. He doesn't vote at either the primaries or the general election.

He never thinks of paying a bill. We have seen him take a $2 taxi ride without giving the driver so much as a pleasant look. The driver only stared at him and muttered something silly. He won't work a lick; he won't go to church; he can't play cards, or dance, or fool around with musical instruments or the radio. So far as known, he has no intellectual or cultural interests at all.

He neglects his appearance terribly. He's so indolent he'd let the house burn down before he'd turn in an alarm. The telephone can ring itself to pieces and he wouldn't bother to answer it. Even on such controversial subjects as the liquor question, nobody knows exactly where he stands, because one minute he's dry, and the* next minute he's wet. But we'll say this for him, in spite of all his faults he comes of a darn good family.

He's our new baby. ) ° 4 • TEAMWORK IN LODGES One of our Brothers was eXPlaining to us recently how he made a limited supply of iron casting for his own use. He said his secret was to melt together in just the right proportion old scrap iron and new pig iron. The old iron contributed hardness and the new, malleability. That's the idea: old age and youth, each with a contribution to make.

It's exactly what we need in the lodge work: stability of mature experience

Ve stredu, dne 2. imora 1949. and elasticity of youth. Mix the young members with the old ones to get the best results—A. E. ) •4* WHERE LIBERTY ENDS The arguments were getting warm, but the chairman kept cool. One member felt sleighted. He had been reminded that he had been given the floor three times on the same subject, and that other members would like to voice their opinions. The member objected that he was being denied to answer the last speaker, and added in Czech: "This is a free country, and I ought to be allowed to say what I want."

The chairman lowered his voice just enough to indicate that it was his intention to remain unexcited. As if he recalled the beginning of Kipling's famous poem, "If all about you are losing their heads .. " he had kept his.

In that calm but not cold or unfriendly voice, he spoke in Czech: "I am reminded of the young immigrant who had just left shipboard in New York harbor and who was so ecstatic with the voice of new-found freedom that he began to wave his arms recklessly and his hand struck a bystander on the nose, whereupon the bystander protested that it was a very poor demonstration of appreciation of the liberties we afford to our new citizens. The immigrant, not to be subdued by such protest, declared that it was his understanding that in the land of liberty we could all shout for joy and have our freedom of movement. "Yes," said the man whose nose had stopped the newcomer's arm, "but your liberty ends where my nose begins."

I tell this little story simply to show that rights and liberties are but a part of responsibilities. For every responsibility others owe us, there is a companion responsibility we owe to them.—A.

LETTERS Houston, Texas Dear Readers: It has been a long time since I have availed myself of the opportunity to Write to the Vestrrik. Since that time, however, it has taken on that "NEW LOOK" which is a good indication that our lodge is developing and expanding in these progressive times.

Ordinarily, my connections with the Hlahol Dramatic Club, Lodge 88, Houston, have prompted my writing. Having served and participated in the dramatic club for years has been a means to much pleasure and recreation to me, and matters pertaining to that department were of considerable interest of which to write.

Along this subject, I would like to say that our club is again rehearsing for another performance of "Z Chaloupek pod Horami." The unusual theme and colorful costuming in this operetta brought a unanimous vote to repeat it on February 6th.

You will also be interested to know that a third performance will be given in Hillje, Texas, on February 20th. Keep these dates in mind, and for those within a reaching radius, it will mean an afternoon of amusement and pleasure.

You may consult the advertisement in another section of the Vestnik for other particulars.

There is another matter that is due attention. If you are interested in Czech music, turn your radio dial to Station KLEE every week day except Saturday and Sundays, and you will enjoy light polkas, waltzes and folk songs. These come to you through the Czech Hour at 5:30 P. M., and your announcer, Rudy Sefcik, whose pleasant invitation on the air makes it an all-time steady favorite program.

Apparently, we are always thinking in terms of entertainment and amusements, and when we do, our minds go to music. This is naturally characteristic of the. Czechs, and history reveals this strong inclination to gay and festive celebrations. Obviously, when all is well with the nation, it turns out to celebrate—celebrate anything, and what is an occasion worth celebrating with,out music and dancing?

This brings another expression of art to our minds. Living in an atmosphere of gaiety so prevalent as was apparent in old Bohemia in 1850 to the beginning of the 20th Century, gave Bedrich Smetana the inspiration to compose 'the opera, "The Bartered Bride" (Prodana

gST lit — WEST, TEXAS ,Nevesta). The colorful festivals which were so typical of the nation are well brought out in this opera, and the entrancing music of this composition is one of the most intriguing monuments to those times. The opera itself has never failed to delight and fascinate its audience, and the fact that it has been presented over five hundred times speaks for itself.

How would you like to see a performance of the "Bartered Bride?" Its first presentation in Houston will be given by the Community Chorus in April under the direction of Mrs. Cora Lee Gregory Woods, Music Supervisor of Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Houston. This news has met with considerable interest, and I know you will want to keep up with this.

Sometimes very soon, I shall give you more information on the Community Chorus, "The Bartered Bride," the exact dates of its presentation, the location and the names of the soloists.

For the present, keep your dates in mind to see "Z Chaloupek pod Horami," by the Hlahol Dramatic Club.

Sincerely, NAOMI KOSTOMLATSKY (Many thanks, Miss Naomi, for your willingness to give, the readers of the English Section more information about the "Prodana nevesta." To most of us it is just another name, the same as "La T'raviata," "Cavalleria Rusticana," and hundreds of others. We shall be pleased with your contributions.--A. E.)

We completed our six-weeks test in school. I made all good grades. I am 12 years old and in the sixth grade. We all want to go to the Fat Stock Show in Houston—hope everyone gets to go. My brother, Lee Roy, will show his calf.

My mother was born and raised in Hallettsville and she knows the Kahanek family. When she was 8-years of age she knew them, and recalls many interesting events.

The Wonder Among .• The hocks Diamonds! The most lustrous, sparkling gems among the wonders of earth!

How the brilliant, tinted light-glean18 flickering and playing from a Stone' of pure quality excite admiration and faScinate Within the tiny compass of . one of these stones lies a "king's ransom," wealth sufficient to coddle a man in the lap of luxury for his lifetime.

Yet it is a curious fact that these gems with their myriads of sparkling beams are generally found buried deep down in the dark recesses of earth. To appreciate the immense labor, machinery and financial backing emPleved by man in his strenuous search for them it is only necessary to gaze into the vast, gaping maw of one of the biggest holes in the earth, the Kimberley Diamond Mine, situated near the center of the, city of Kimberley,' town of the diamond fields of South Africa.

But the avid quest for diamonds does not always pierce into the bowls of the earth. Large quantities have been discovered near the surface, in the "alluvial diggings." It is unique to visit ,such sites and see the hundreds of little mounds in all directions, many, abandoned, others in active use, with.crude and quaint shelters to serve as tem.porary dwellings for the numerous families seeking the elusive stones. The life is not attractive. Often the water essential for washing the ground to isolate the gravel for sorting purposes is scarce, and must be brought by water cart. But it is a continual gamble, and the possibility of that "large stone" turning .up on the sorting table provides thrilling incentive. Why, some valuable stones have even been picked up in the streets : , of Kimberley!

In its natural state the uncut clia, mond is a dull-appearing stone of leadgray color, with what seems to be an oily film over it. But in• the hands; of expert cutters, men and women Who have spent years learning the art, this dull lump comes to glowing and lustrous life. Much of the cutting is done in Holland and England, but in recent years a large diamond-cutting industry has also developed in South Africa. It I

8trana 26

is fascinating to walk down one of the main streets of Johannesburg and gaze through the glass windows of these establishments to watch the cutters at work with their polishers and lapidary wheels.

Cutting methods have undergone little change in recent years. It is still done mainly by hand, partly by rubbing one stone against another, partly by using a swiftly revolving wheel and diamond powder. Where flaws are observed, or when it becomes necessary to remove certain valuable parts of the diamond, iron wire well coated with diamond dust is used to cleave the stone, or, in certain cases, the split is achieved with a steel hammer and chisel, the blow being struck in the 61 ruction of the natural cleavage. When the diamond is reduced to the desired size the faceS, or, to use the correct term, the facets, are polished.

As diamonds are mainly used for ornamental purposes, such as settings in ringe, b rooches, crowns, studs, or in necklaces, etc., selection of the stones is made 'accordingly, and then they are cut in the various forms along the lines of the original shapes of the crystals.

The main forms that have been in genera I use for a long period are the "Brilliant," the "Rose" and the "Table."

Diamonds, which may be described as a neural form of crystallized carbon, po;sess a variety of colors, shapes and appearances, and to classify them requires a high degree of skill. Expert sorters, with a hooded instrument over their eyes, divide the diamonds accordin' to their purities, faults, shapes, colors and values. .A.olutely colorless stones are not so common as cloudy or faintly tinted specimens. Common tints are gray, brown, yellow and white; but stones in red, green, blue and black have also been found, and they are considered as rarities. The colors can sometimes be removed or changed at high temperatures, but generally they revert back to the original on cooling. A curious feature of the diamond is the degree of phosphorescense it can maintain after exposure to sunlight, or in the presence of radium.

It then becomes clearly luminous in a dark room.

The consummate hardness of the diamond has made it very useful for many purposes other than ornamentation. Its degree of hardness is greater than that of any other mineral, being indicated by 10 in the ordinary scale. Its specific gravity is 3.52. The diamond's hardness makes it in constant demand for grinding, polishing and drilling. It has

VESTNIK— WES'r, TEXAS always been the material used for cutting and engraving the diamond itself, and, no doubt, from this latter fact sprang the old saying, "Let diamond cut diamond."

Diamonds are now employed not only for faceting precious stones, but also for cutting and drilling glass and porcelain, for fine engravnig, such as scales, and in dentistry drilling. It is also used in bearings for watches, electric meters, and other fine instruments. For rock drills and revolving saws for stone cutting, either diamond or "bort" (a diamond in its cruder and more inferior form) is employed, set in steel tubes, discs or bands. Possibly rock-drilling is the most important industrial use to which it is put, but another valuable use for the diamond is for drawing wire to its required dimensions.

In 1905 was found that record-breaking stone, the Cullinan Diamond. This remarks arc gem, more than three times the size o any stone known to that time, weighed 3,024 carats. It was found in the yellow ground of the newly discovered Premier Diamond Mine in the Transvaal, and was purchased by the Transvaal government to be presented to King Edward VII, in 1907. The diamond was then sent to Amsterdam for cutting, and was divided into nine stones, the four largest weighing 516, 309, 92 and 62 carats.

In conclusion, be informed that the most important localities, for diamonds have been India, where they were mined from the earliest times till the close of the nineteenth century; South America, where they have been mined since the middle of the eighteenth century; and South Africa, to where almost the whole of the diamond-mining industry has been directed since 1870. By 1906 South African mines were supplying about 90 percent of the world production. These sparklers supreme in the realm of gems add dazzling light to the Dark Continent. ) • 4 • ( DON'T TREAD ON ME Before the first flag of the United States was raised at Cambridge on January 2, 1776, the Revolutionary flag which was most nearly national in its make-up was the so-called rattlesnake flag which showed a coiled rattler, ready to spring. The snake had 13 rattlers, symbolic of the colonies, and the legend on the flag read "Don't tread on me."

Great Britain was on an imperialistic fling under a tyrannical King at that point in history. It was audacious for 13 infant colonies to liken themselves to the deadly rattler, but the faith and courage behind the principles which

Ire stfedu, dne 2. imora 1949. bound those colonies together into one effective instrument were far more powerful than any power which the great monarch in London could land on distant shores. The bite of the rattler proved deadly enough to bring freedom to a great continent—A. E. ) • 4 • It has been stated that "There is nothing a man will not do to spare himself' the effort of thinking." We all know how true this is in our daily lives.

It is even more true at the lodge meetings. Men will think synthetically, will consider a proposal for 30 seconds or less and immediately offer an automatic reaction to it. A man will do this, instead of objectively appraising the merits or demerits of such a proposal in the light of the group he represents and in the light of the welfare of the SPJST. ) • 410 • BIRDS CRASH ALSO The Empire State building has snatched planes from the air. It also batters migrating birds to earth. And all these accidents must be charged to fog. Birds migrating south hit heavy mist over the Hudson river, lost their course, became confused, and early on the morning of last fall crashed into the towering bulk of Empire State building. More than for two hours, beginning about one past midnight, the tiny feathered bodes plummeted to the sidewalk or street.

Many that survived the fall were finished on the asphalt of the street by autos. Not only was the plop-plop of the falling brids disturbnig, but particularly touching was the shrill chirping of the many injured victims.

Pedestrians in the area, moved by the plight of the birds, tried to revive some on the spot, while others carried the little victims home to feed them. There were so many birds killed that the Health Department sent workers to remove the tiny bodies that littered the fashionable Fifth Avenue. ) • 4 Be not anxious to avoid poverty. In this way the wealth of the universe may be safely invested. ) Words are the dress of your thoughts, which should no more be presented in rags, tatters, and dirt than your person should. )• • Some people just can't unbend and be human until misfortune ha.:,-; taken the starch out of them. ) o 4, Take time as it comes, people for what they are worth, and money for what it will buy.—Thoreau.
