Potieba dostate.eneho pojgte'. Behem program slavnosti v Seaton dne 10. eervence 1949 pkedstaveni byli obecenstvu dosta yigi se Ukednici a keditele VYboru silneho RVOS, kteki kratce pronaluvili a pred_seda J. J. Hurta i pokladnik John 13 a.. zcela pa pravde a s brdosti vyz yo.dli ten fakt, ze kra-ka of ganisace RVOS be)oslcdnich let ziskala noveho pojigteni za sum ! dolara, co. %.; je amozrejme pekny pr. ita.stek v kaZdem podnikani. Jake je pozadi tchoto pozoruhocineho naskoku poji gteni proti ohni a zivlam. pkirodnim? Naprosto jednoduche!

KaZ"dY rozumnY hospodat ma svtj nemo-

Jegte se nekdy navratit do houfu pasaeka, v skrytu si nekde zatesknit po letu ledriaoka.

Na sobe gaty z pytlovin, jehliei ve vlasech, na nohou kaL zmoralou, shYbnutY po klasech.

Kapsate pine krabieek, udic a provazka, barevnYch stkepti, hkebika, belavYch oblazka.

V dugiece proste krasnY sen, jenZ oei rozsviti nejakYm divnYm ohYnkem — a voni po kviti.

Jegte se nekdy navrait!

Kdy ale, kudy, kam?

Vhlyt' je to marne. Nechytig, co u2 je tam a tam. vitY majetek poji gten proti ohni. Pied vzestupem cen materialu a prace pojigten byl v pomeru techto cen, nez nevzalo to delgiho uva'Zovani, ze bYvale pojigteni zdaleka by nestaeilo k znovunahrakni, obydli, nabytku, domaciho zafizeni, kdyby neocekavane stizen byl pozarem. Proto eleni RVOS a pisatel teto fivahy yeetne bez dlouheho pkesvedeovani uznali potiebu zvYgeni pojistky proti ohni a boufi a sviij majetek patkiene pkipojistili. A je-li radne zvYgeni pojistky na vecny majetek, neni innohem dulditegi, abychom meli dostateenou Z`ivotni pojistku a v ni ochranu proti nepkizni osudu? Dnes ov gern maji dolary mengi nakupni moc, avgak dolary ug etkene budou miti vet gi nakupni silu, az ceny poklesnou a die nazora ekono/nista ceny ty dkive ei pozdeji poklesnouti musi. UvaZlivY mu'Z nebo 'Zeno, nezastavaji IhostejnYmi k zmenam pomera a take pine chapou, Ze Lvotni pojikeni je vysoce dideLte a nutno je pfizpasobovat potfebam dne gnilio Z'ivota. Je-li dluh na vagem obydli nebo farrne, tento zavazek mel by bYti kryt poji gtenim, protole v pkipade, 2e by hospodak byl odvolan z tohoto Zivota, vdova nebo roclina zbaveny byly by biemene dluhu a uleheilo by se jim v starostech. Dorost vyrasta, pkitomne doby je i v praci souteZ a ditky budou no-UTboyati patkieneho gkolniho vzdelani, aby v teto souteN obsta,ly a v Z'ivote se uplatnily. Dostateena pojistka umolaii jim potkebneho vzdelani a nutne prapray y pro iiivot. Leta plynou a s nimi se u kaZ'deho blili menk vYdeleene schopnosti a eas odpoeinku.

Ve stkedu, dne 27. Cervence 1949.

Mnohemu je yi se pojistka v teto chvili jako vec vzdalena a nenahmatelna, neZ zdrava soudnost kahlema povi, Ze y e skuteenOsti znamena oclaranu pro hor gi easy a opatti spokojenejSi Lvot i potraviny, pkistte gi a g atstvo. liejine stale na zavazky eloveka k jeho rodine netrvaji ‘jen po dobu jeho Zivota, ale po celY eas Zivota jeho drahYch him/ a pochopeni nejistoty Zivota a zamestnani aejlepe zdarazni potrebu dostateeneho Lvotniho pojigteni.

Rekorelni rok pro skupinove pojigteni.

Behem roku 1948 osm tisic skupin delnika ye Spoj. statech bylo pojikeno zamestnavateli na obnos tri biliony dolara. Tyto skupiny zahrnuji poeet 1,300,000 delnika, kteri jsou pri sve praci poji gteni proti trazu i smrti. Pkipoeteme-li k temto teem biliondm dolarft noveho pojigteni skupinove poji gteni pkedchnzejictho roku, jeZ bylo okrouhle teZ kolem bilionu dolara, rok 1948 znamend rekord kud se tYka skupino yebo pojigteni. Poeatkem leto gniho roku meli jsme v Soustati 45,000 skupin delnika, je2 zahrnovaly sedinnact miliotru osob, jez jsou kryty skpinovym poji gtenirn v celkove sumo tkicet sedm a pal bilionu dolara. V poslednich deseti letech skupincve pojigteni se zdvojnasobilo a dosahuje skoro obnos celkoveb.o poji gteni na L yot v roku 1920.

Vice ne'Z 40 procent ygech delnika ye Spoj. statech (mirno zemedelskYch a vladnich zkizencti) jest kryto skupinovYm poji g teram. VYplaty umrti ye skupinovern pojig teni zvy govaly se prakticky s jeho nirn. V roce 1948 obna gely $232,000,000 (tolik vyplaceno bylo na poeet 115,000 pojistek), kdeZto v roku 1940 bylo na 50,000 pojistek vyplaceno $104,000,000. Pred tokern 1941 nejvetk pkirastek skupinoveho pojig teni dosahoval roene asi pal bilionu dolara, jakmile Vg ak Spoj. stay vstoupily do valky, roeni pkirastek obna gel al dva a pal bilionu dolara a v roce 1948 pcstoupil na rekord.ni oislici pet a pal bilionu dobilionu dolara.

RodinnSi sax! v Texasu. Pramerny American snedl v roce 1947 asi 155.2 libry masa, z toho 79.9 libry hoveziho, 5.3 libry skopoveho a 70 libr y yeproviny. Bylo to nejvice poNteho masa od roku 1908, kdy spotteba masa na jednu osobu obnagela 163.3 libry a bylo to v (lobe 25 let poprve, kdy olayvatele Unie jedli vice hoveziho masa ne2 vepkoveho. Lekari odPorueuji pii paivani masa rovnovahu cili pal a pfil hovezi a vela:MI/6. Texaska, rodina zvykla si jisti tkikrat tolik masa veplovdho nez hoveziho, neZ pkitonme pkedklada se ()be pal a pal. Zmena v stejnornerne obeho masa nastala v roku 1917-18, kdy okresni agenti zemedelstvi poeali poueovati lid o zavatovani Potravin yeetne masa. Zavakovani masa dosahlo pak vrchole roku 1938, aekoli ye skuteenosti to nebyl pozoruhodnSi vrchol, protole mnozi fide

Ve sttedu, dne 27. eervence 1949. nemohli si na zavatene maso zvyknouti — nechutnalo jim. Pokles pti zavatovani dostavil se roku 1939, v kterem g roku zadaly se v Texasu ztizovati mrazirny (food locker), v nich g rolnici a obeane poeali ukladati si eerstve maso ku zmrazeni a dojell si pro kus masa ei oeistenou drabeg kdy chteli. Pled tim vetS'ina rodin na farme zavisela, co se spotteby masa tVee, na drilbe gi a zasobe udirny. eestva hovezina byla vyloueena pokud nebyl v miste masovSr spolek, jehot eleni stfidave porateli dobytee, jeho maso se elenum ptidelovalo. U nekter3"rch texaskjich rodin v letech osmdesatSich a pozdejSich se ujmul zvyk slaviti nasbirani prvniho goku baviny; jakmile hospodat oeistenou bavinu prodal, zastavil se u feznika a koupil pro rodinu potadnS7 kus masa k pedeni — a bylo pry to pochutnanieko! Nicholas Appert zapoeal v roce 1799 novotu — nalo gil maso do velke sklenice, ucpal ji tesne a pak vaiil ji nekolik hodin. Za nekolik let po to Peter Durand nakladal maso do ieleznSrch nadob, jeg se daly snadneji ptepravovat. Te doby .o tuto vec se nejvice kapitani lodi a plavci, pro net dobte nalogene maso pfi dlouhSrch plavbach znamenalo zmenu diety a ptedejiti obavan nemoci scurvy (krvaceni dasni a jine poruchy). Prvni pokus fichovy potravin podnikl W. Underwood zbudovanim nakladarny motskSrch rakfi, pozdeji k tomu ptipojil nakladani okurek a ovoce. V roku 1853 newyorskSr rodak Gail Borden poCal se zajimati o rozva, geni mleka, co g vyneslo zptsob prodeje mleka v plechovkach. V tehdejAi dobe byly brambory a maso — obzvlagte veptbve, jet nasolene vydrgi celS, rok — hlavni potravou a zelenina a ovoce, aC gadouci, nebyly pova govany za duletitou Cast spravne vfgivy. V letech 1900 domaci zavatovani se poCalo Hospodyne pies chybrie podinani poealy poznavati, ge se zelenina da piechovati mimo zpfisob nakladani okurek neb sukni. Byla to pozvolna a svizelna prate obzvla§te v domacnostech, Ird o se nedostavalo hotoidrch penez k nakupu mimo sezonnith a obchodnich potravin v plechovkach. Teprve po prvni svetove valce obchodni v plechovkach nalogene potraviny se dostaly do spigiren farmatskch domovfi. Pted tim rfiznost potravin na rodinnem stole zavisela na roeni sezone a schopnosti hospodyne v zavatovani a nakladani sezonnich plodu a ovoce.

Po qteenem obidku fieastnici bavili se srdedne a sdilne, bratfi 8krabankvi a jejich dve sestry byly ov gem sttedem pozornosti i zajmu. Vzpominalo se na Casy uplynule = ze etytech bratfi a etyt sester zustali tu a byli ye Snook pohromade jen dva bratfi a d ye sestry. Ti druzi ug byli povolani na veenost Bylo to zajiste krasne shroma gdeni a pamatna ucla,lost, na nig ffeastnici budou dlouho vzpominati a mnozi z nich jiste vyslovili ptani, aby podobiV sraz rodinnSr se opakoval a v Case nedalekern. Man gele J. M. gkrabankovi s br. 8efeikem loueili se prvni, angto spechali do Fayetteville na 'Ceske divadlo, Zihadlem proti 'Skikda. Na orangovjTch a citronovVch planta gich v severnim Mexiku se odehreva vyhlazovaci boj mezi hnetimi mouchami a vosami, znamSrmi pod latinskS7m nazvem erecmoserus serius silo. Pied nekolika mesici zjistili pestitele, k orange usychaji a vadnou. Plantage byly zaplaveny hneclou mouchou. Cele tSr gili bojovat proti Skacici ruznV--dnyse na mi technickSrmi pfipravky, ale marne. Pak pfisel jeden vedec na to, ge fihlavnim nepkitelem hnede mouchy je vosa — erecmoserus a navrhl, to by se ji mohlo pougit vyhubeni hnede mouchy. Dva mesice shromagd'ovaly zemedelske stanice pilne vosi armadu, sbiraly tisice vos a pestovaly nove generate. Kdy g jich men dostateenS7 podet, dali je do obalek s malSrm otvorem, aby vosy mohly vylezt, a tisice obalek bylo shozeno z letadel nad plantakmi jako parakrtisticke oddily. A vosy vyhravaji boj. Tfi okresy, co je uzemi vetsi Anglie, jsou ug zbaveny hnede mouchy. Ted' si ale zase ste guji lido, kteti nemaji zajem o plantage, to je v kraji pfiliS mnoho vos.

Alfons Mucha, nejvStraznejS1 eeskS, malif doby Ceske secese, narodil se 24. Cervence 1860 a zemtel 14. Cervence 1939.

Projevem vSrtvarne osobnosti tohoto umelee, 'aka francouzske dekorativni Skoly, je dokonala kresba linei a jemnST kolonit. UmeleckSr plakat z devadesatVch let minuleho stoleti ueinil z Muchy mistra znavaneho v celem svete. Mucha predn:.sel na akademiich v New Yorku, Filadelfii a Chicagu. Po navratu do vlasti vytvoiil sve nejvetS1 dilo, 20 obrovskVch platen duchovni historie Slovanstva, jei nozval Slovanska epopej. Dilo velke umelecke ceny daroval pak mestu Praze.

Narodni pisne. Jsou mezi nami pametnici tech dob, kdy ye stare vlasti nivy, luhy, haje i ptibytky lidske zvudely pisne-

Strana 3 mi. Zpevem uspovala matka sve dite, zpevem doprovazely deti sve hry; pisnemi rozveselovala si divka pole, pasouc kravy, nebo S'kubajic travu. Svou starodavnou piseff gepotala si statenka, pfekladajic sve drahe pamatky v truhie ulo gene, zpevem dopro govali se gebraci almu gny. Tak zpival sobe elovek jsa o samote. A co g teprve ye spolednosti s jinSrmi. Tu ptiklad pfisobil neodolatelne; tu ten, tu oven zanotil novou pisefi, kterag se ihned stala spoleen "Vin majetkem vS'ech. 0 . n.ich sire pole ani neptestavalo zvueeti libezn*m zpevem, kter3i celou krajinou vtkol se rozlehal. A na podzim, kdy g dozravalo ovoce, bVvaly zase nove schilzky a besedy. Ve'der u ohfifi na poli, pozdeji v sukxnach venku postavenS7ch, v nichg se vativala povidla, schazivala se chasa, a tu opet zpevu laS7valo vgude pino V zime zase spoleene pkastky a draoky konavaly se za veseleho zpevu. Mile ty pisne provazely tak eloveka od kolebky do hrobu, radosti jeho a zabavy zu glecht'ujice, v Atrapach a strastech fitechy poskytovaly. Skladateli eeskStch pisni byli jino gi a (levy, multi a g eny z lidu, ponejvice z lidu venkovskeho, obyeejne beze vkho gkolniho vzdelani.

Vyrustajice od malidka v prostem ovzdu'Si venkova, znali v gechny pisne sve krajiny a skladali v jejich duchu a dle jejich vzoru pisne nove. Lidove pisne dedily se pak Astnim podanim z pokoleni na pokoleni.

Skladatel Viterslav Novak mrtev. Z Prahy dogla zprava o umrti hudebniho skladatele Viterslava Novaka, kte0 tam zemtel u veku 78 let. Viterslav Novak se narodil 5. prosince 1870 v Kamenici nad Lipou jako syn lekate dr. Jakuba Novaka.

Studoval na gymnasiu v Jindtichove Hradci a po maturite v roce 1889 vydal se na studie do Prahy. Byl zapsan na pravech a soudasne studoval na hudebni konservatoti. Behem kratkeho easu se u mlacleho Novaka ukazalo, ge vice ptevlada za.jem o hudbu net o prava. Prvni profesoti, kteti Novaka hudhe ucili, se ball jeho temperamentu a filohy, ktere mlaclk umelee odvadel, se obema profesorum zdaly prilis smele. Kdyg v roce 1891 pti gel na konservatof Antonin Dvotak jako profesor, nastal v Novakove givote obrat. Vzhety mladeho komponisty se libily profesoru Dvotakovi tak, to dal ternto samostatnVm pokusilm jen smer. Novak nechal studia pray a hned se dal do pilne prate hudebni. Z prvnich praci NovakovSrch byla overtura Korsar, pak Balada pro piano, a CIm vice od Dvotaka pfijimal, tim vice se od jeho praci vzdaloval, bravk si klady z Brahmse, Liszta a Wagnera. dialegitVm momentem v givote umelcove byl zajezd do VelkSrch Karlovic na Valakku. Tam ptijal do sve hudebni tvorby dui tamniho lidu — Morava Novaka okouzlila. Tady take vznikly "Ciganske melodie" a "Pisnieky". Z pozdej gch hu-

dtrana 4 debnich del je to overtura "Mary ga", "Zakleta, dcera", "Sonata eroicu" a cykius pisni "Melancholic". Z lyrickYch pisni stoji za uznani "Tomah a lesni panna".

Nejvetgi hudebni dilo Novakovo je "Bouie", ku ktere bral namet z plavby z Hamburku do Norska. Z lidove nejznamejgich a oblibenYch skladeb je "Zvikovsky rara,gek", "Dean/ odkaz" a mnoho jinYcla. Naproti tomu vana a historicky podlolena skladba je "Kar gtejn". V Novakovi odchazi ceskemu narodu skladatel vehan rozmanitYch smerfi, ktery nikdy nezakotvii v jednom programu. Celt' jeho Z`ivot byl rozmanitY, rekli bychom tekavY a nevyzpivanY — jako v gechny noty, ktera nestaeil pouZit.

bopisovatelskSi EETADLEM Z PRATIY DO NEW YORKU.

KdYZ koncem minuleho a i zaeatkem tohoto stoleti na gi krajane cestovali do Ameriky, trvala jim cesta neuveritelne dlouho. Pro zajimavost uvadim: StrYeek manZeleiny maminky (zerntely jiZ Jan z Granger) pristehoval se do USA v rote 1881. Prijel tehdy na piachetni lodi a cesta pies ocean trvala teener 7 (slovem: sedm) 'LS/dna. Dries, kdy moderniparnik ptepluje ocean za 41/2 dne, zda se nava to temer neuveritelne. Ale je tomu talc Jiste mnohY z tech prvnich pionYrti kroutil by nad tim hlavou. A co by teprve tikal, kdyby vedel, Ze marne jegte rychlejSi dopravni prosttedek — letadlo.

Tento, moderni, naprosto bezpeenY, vehni pohodlny a velmi rychly dopravni prosttedek pteleti ocean za pouhYch 12 hodin, t. j. pill dne. Prakticky to tedy znamend, Ze letadlo je devetkrate rychlejgi, neZ cinegni nejmodernej gi zaoceanskY parnilc "Queen Mary" neb "Queen Elizabeth", obstaravajici prepravu mezi obema svetadily. Jsem ptesvedeen, Ze tato rychlost bude v budoucnu jeate zkracena. Nasvedeuje tomu zprava z LondYna, uvetej/lend v "Katoliku" dne 18. ledna t. r.

Zprava zni doslovne takto: "Dopravni spoleenost Pan-American Airways oznamila dues, Ze jeji etyrmotorovy letoun druhu Constellation, nesouci jmeno Mayflower, dobyl noveho obehodniho rychlostniho rekordu, uraziv bezzastaykovou cestu z New Yorku do LondYna za 10 hodin a 2 minuty. Ptede gly rekord pro let 3,153 mile dlouhy byl 10 hodin a 12- minut a dosahl ho letoun spolee-nosti American Overseas Airways pied dvema roky. Letoun Mayflower vezl 10 cestujicich." Jiste nadhernY vYkon, zasluhujici pineho obdi7 vu a uznani lidskeho dibuyslu a pokroku, ueineneho v tornto smeru.

Tolik asi chtel jsem Mei fivodem, neZ ptejdu k vlastnimu yypravoyani.

KdyZ jsem mel koncem srpna minuleho roku pro moji Cestu do USA vge nalelite ptipraveno, v gechny prilkazy, cestovni pas, ruzna povoleni a atedni doklady pohromade, nastala mi starost, jak nejdtive se sem dostat. Jednal jsern s lodni spoleenosti "Cunard White Star", jejiZ slueb pouZila manZ"elka, kdyF cestovala s rodiei loliskeho roku. Byl jsem v g ak odkaza-n na pozdej gi dobu (na listonad), jelikoZ vge,chny lodi byly y yprodany. inforrnoval jsem se proti i u jinYcla spoleenosti, majicich zastoupeni v Praze (italske, holandske, polske, francouzske, gyedske), avgak dostalo se mi teZe odpo yedi, Ze mail na 2 aF 3 mesice dopi'edu vSe vyprodano.

nevadF manFelka chtela me tu mit co nejdrive (byla zde s rodiei jiZ od kvetna), nerozmylgela se dlouho a zaplatila ini letadlo. Avgak i to dab je gte mnoho jednani a shaneni a v chisledku z ylagtniho opatteni csl. ministerstva vnitra (t. zv. cestovni doloZky) mohl jsem nastoupiti cestu aZ 19. kijna. Chci pripomenouti, Fe nebyla to moje prvni cesta letadlem. Naletal jsem se ji2 hodne; kdy2 jsem byl v letech 1932-1934 v UFhorode (drivejS1 Podkar-patske Rusi, dne gnim Svazu socialistickYch sovetskYch republik), letal jsem velmi easto do Brna, Bratislavy a Prahy a _mimo to i na nekterYch linkach rakouskYch. Pfiznam se, Ze jsem se teen na tu cestu, ponevan byla skuteene zajimava a vedla pies ocean. JiZ nekolikrat byl jsem polad.an, abych tekl nebo napsal neco o svYch zaZitcich, o v gem co jsem videl, jako pocity jsem pti tom mei atd., avgak dosud jsem se k tomu nedostal. Rozhodl jsem se proto, Ze podle zaznamfi, ueinenYch cestou, pokusim se milym etenartim vylioiti moji cestu jak nejlepe budu mod.

Pteji si jenom, aby se yarn to dobte eetlo a nagli jste v mere elanku pro vas new zajimaveho. A koho to zajimat nebude, prosim, nehnevejte se na mne,neetete dale, odloZte to. Snad nekterY z myth dalgich elankti vas uspokoji. A ted', prosim, se pripray te, poj'edem!

Very, 19. rijne 1948, dlouho oeekavanY stanovenY den odletu, koneene nadegel.

Po poslednich ptiprava,ch hlasim se v gichni v letecke kancelati 6eslcoslovensk)ich aerolini v Praze II., Namesti republiky.

ObdrZeli jsme je gte nektere disposice pro cestu, podali svoje zavazadla a nekolik minut pted osmou hodinou odvaZel nas objemny autobus na statni leti gte v Ruzyni. Zastavili jsme tesne u prijimaci budovy a ve gli do prostorne dvorany. Zde oeekavali me oba moji gvakrove se 3 malYmi synovci, kteti nepovolili a museli byti pfitornni. Chteli pry videt jak strYeek odleti. Posledni vzkaz, posledni stisk ruky, dale jiZ nesmeli. Dalgi prostory byli vyhrakny pouze pro cestujici a -Uredni personal. Pro ty, kteti svoje ptibuzne a zname vyprovazeji, je vyhraZeno zvla gt' mist° na leti gti, odkud mohou ptihliZeti odletu.

Po formalnim prezkou geni osobnich vydanim zavazadlo yYch listkil a oveteni letenek ve gli jsme do prostoru policejniho, kde podle pasti byla ptezkougena tatoZnost kaZdeho jednotlivce a hued vedle ujali se nas celni zamestnanci.

Prohlidka byla velmi ptisna, prohledali me celeho, dobre v gak vge dopadlo. Koneene byl jsem propu gten a u'Z nebylo zde nieeho, co by mi branilo v odletu. Citil jsem se ohroinne volnY a netrpelive oeekaval jsem dalgich disposic leteckeho personalu. Netrvalo dlouho a sliend stewardka mi hlasila: "Pro nepkiznive povetrnostni pomery ye Frankfurte (silnY cidt' a

Strang mlhu) poletite asi a'Z do Bruselu a pak zpet do Frankfurtu." K tomu chcirici na, vysvetlenou toto: Cestu mei jsem zaplacenou u American Overseas Airlines. JelikoZ ale tato spoleenost ma koncesi z Frankfurtu (ne z Prahy), musel jsem pro let z Prahy do Frankfurtu pouZiti jineho letadla. Bylo to krasne velike letadlo spoleenosti Pan-American World Airways. dilsledku toho musel jsem ye Frankfurte pfestupovati.

Nadegel eas a byli jsme vpu gteni na letigte. Letadlo py gne stalo u rozjacleci plochy a eekalo na nas. Pred vstupem do letadlo byli jme znovu pfekontrolovani policejnim organem podle podobenek v cestovnim pasu a pak jeden po druhem po schildkach vystupoval a mizel v trupu letaciho velikana. Vybral jsem si misto u okenka, abych mei dobry rozhled. Posledni cestujici se usadil, posadka byla na miste, dvete letadla byly hermeticky uza'deny. Motory silne hueely a po znameni z velitelske veZe leti gte nage letadlo se rozjelo. Posledni mavani , tech, kteti se s nami prisli na letigte rozloueit a uz nam mizi z dohledu. Tu se letadlo zastavilo, pootoeilo, znovu se rozjelo, motory za.ely pracovat na pino a IA se odlepilo od zeme, klidne a majestatne se vzna gelo do vYge. Krajina pod nami stale se rnengila, az ptipadalo vge jako v rise trpaslikil. Leteli jsme klidne, vzduch byl eistY, bez mlhy a degte. Pozoroval jsem znamou krajinu a hledal mista, kde jsem bYyal. ka jako stribrna nit tahla se po zeriii, vlak jako malt' eervieek plazil se jakoby po Mite a jednotliya, polieka ptipada, jako pestrY rozvinutY koberec. Na silnici videli jsme auta, podobajici se vice krabiekam od sirek a mesto mei° vzhled pfesno vypracovane plasticke mapy. A tak rozhled, giroko daleko bylo videt, pre eemF pozorujici v letadle ma dojem, Fe letadlo pohybuje se velmi pomalu, dokonce jakoby i stab°. To je ygak pouhY optickY klam. Ve skuteenosti leti slugnou ryehlosti, aby yeas dosahlo sveho cile. Sledoval jsem bedlive vge kolem a chtel jsem si uvedomiti ptelet statnich hranic. Nepodahlo se mi to. KdyZ jsem se zeptal stewardky, kde se nachazime, byl jsem prekvapen jeji odpovedi, Ze uz jsme nad Nemeckem. Tedy moje rodna a draha, vlast u2 je za nami, tekl jsem si. Vratim se kdy, udirn ji a poteS'im s mymi sourozenci a ptibuznYmi? Ve vzpominkach zaletl jsem je gte k hrobu inch drahYch rodicu na malem htbitilvku ye Chvaleeh, abyeh jim podeko yal pre opugteni rodne oteiny za v ge, za Zivot, vzdelani a naboeriskou vYchovu.

Takto zabran v myglenky zpozoroval jsem pied nami velike mesto. Ano, nemYlil jsem se, byl to Frankfurt, prvni etapa me dlouhe cesty. Obletli jsme leti gte, pri OemZ jsme mime klesali. Poea,si za.2 hodiny nageho letu z Prahy se natolik zlepgilo, ze xnohli jsme bez zavady ptistati.

itrana 6 Letadlo smekovalo znovu k leti gti, krou2ilo smerem opadnYm a pomalu se snaaelo na dlouhou a girokou ptistavaci plochu. Videli jsme jasne z letadla ruzna signalisaeni znameni, davana z velitelske vele letiate i mu2stvem, rozestavenYm na ploge letiate. A net jsme se mall', dotklo se letadlo zeme, nekolikrate na podvozku poskello a u2 jelo ailenou rychiosti po semi. °pet jsme meli pevnou 'Ado pod nami. Na konci ptistavaci plochy letadlo zastavilo, zametilo k ptijimaci budove, opet se rozjelo a nekolik taktka krokil pked budovou tohoto velikeho leteckeho nadraZi, definitivne zastavilo. A nZ tu byl hlas stewardky, oznamujici, 2e jsme ve Farnkfurte, aby zustal kaZdY na svem mists' a nevystoupil dtive, nee vyjde z letadla kapitan. To se stalo a my opustili obrovskeho ptaka, ktery nas v kratkem ease pfenes1 z Prahy do Frankfurtu.

Zagel jsem do kancelate letecke spoleenosti American Overseas Airlines pro moji letenku dale do New Yorku a pro dalai disposice. K memo velikemu podiveni doveal jsem se, te letadlo poleti az v 10 hodin veeer, co2 znamenalo vice rie2 9 hodin oekani. Vykidil jsem si v gechny potfebne formality (hla geni celni i na vojenskem Made) a pak prohlael si lige co mi bylo pkistupne. Prochazel jsem se po silnici podele leti gte, obdivoval technicka zatizeni i bezpednostni opatkeni a hlavne me cele zaujalo pozorovani pkistavani i odlet letadel vg ech mo2nYch typil a ruznYch stattr. Videl jsem tam letadla americka, rakouska, polska, holandska, danska, avYcarska, avedska, a zejmena pak vojenska, poeinaje malou stihaekou a konee letajici pevnosti. KaidY start a ka2de pkistani delo se s naprostou ptesnosti die rozkazil a znameni z velitelske ve2e leti gte. Ve yelike dvorane s pohodlnYmi ealounenYmi kkesly, kde po prve po dlouhe dobe vide]. jsem opet banany, enkoladu a jine dobroty, bylo mnoho cestujicich, Cekajicich na dalai pkipoje. Byli to lids vgech mo2nYch narodnosti a ras. Mluvili anglicky, nemecky, francouzsky, heberjsky, byli pleti bile i barevne. Tedy spolednost opravdu pestra a zajimava. A tak mi ten Cas ubehl, 2e jsem se ani nenadal a u2 tu hlasil mistni rozhlas, aby vaichni cestujici do New Yorku se ptipravili u vchodu na letiate.

Mezitim se setmelo, plocha leti gte byla ozakena tisici malYmi i velkYmi svetly raznYch barev, zmenila pine svoji tvaknost.

Nage letadlo, zevne i uvintk osvetlene, bylo pkipraveno. Stalo nedaleko pkijimaci budovy, hlidano bezpeenostnimi organy letigte. Bylo 10 hodin veeer. ttednik spoleenosti American Overseas Airlines vyvolaval die` seznamu jmena cestujicich, kteki vstupovali do letadla a usedli na mista jimi vybrana.

Nage oslava 52. jubilea, konand dne 17. eervence, skvele se yydakila, za coh jsme povinni diky na mnoha mistech. toe' tohoto dopisu jest, v gem zaslouhilYm nem tadu podekovati.

Na prvnim miste vzdavame srdeeny dik vgem elentim Klubu Beseda ze Seaton, kteti pod kizenim br. Walter Jakubce ptedvedli eeskY narodni tanec Besedu.

Byly to tki kolony dospelYch a d ye kolo-

fly ditek, a vsichni tanec bezvadne pkedvedli. Byl to pro nas krasny pditek, neb se zde Beseda jih po mnoho roku netaneila a co se tYka mladehe, mnozi ji v nedeli shledli poprve. Lidi opravdu neskrblili pochvalou, coh si taneenici pine zaslouhili uh jen za ochotu pkijet, neb nekteti byli hodne z daleka, a take he vgichn • byli odeni v eeskern kroji. Nejhlavnej gi dik vgak patti br. Jakubcovi, neb maji v nem obetaveho a rozumneho vizdce, kteremu patti v gechna test za konani zasluhneho skutku na poli narodnim. To byla hlavni ptieina, proe jsem br. Jakubce jmenem tadu hddala, aby izde Besedu ptedvedli, aby mezi nami bylo vzktiseno narodni uvedomeni.

2e fieel tento byl dosahen seznala jsem z feel nasich lidi, jak velky u nich byl probuzen zajem o Besedu. Opakuji diky br.

Jakubcovi jako i celemu klubu a do budoucnosti volam: Zdar!

Take nemalou zasluhu o slavnost mel br. Aug. Kacit, ktery pronesl vefejnY proslov v anglicke keei, vysvetliv fieel nasi slavnosti a zaroveri i cile Jednoty. Ulevilo se nam, kdyh jsme ho uvideli mezi phitomnYmi, neb byl pozvan temet v posledni chvili a bylo nage gtesti, he nebyl jinde zasliben.

Pak nam take vypomohlo, ze jsme meli dobrou hudbu, neb odpoledne i vder vyhravala Temple Czech kapela. Kandemu se libilo jak pane a hlasite hrali a take jak dobte se phi jejich hudbe taneilo.

Pak 0 drobnej gim zpilsobem vypomohla tada jinYch, jako na ptiklad zdejAi obchodnici vecmi na bingo: br. Albert Zaneek propiljeeni chladirny na nekolik dni, br. Waymond Gre gak propiljeenim tlampaee, p. E.

Jsme vgem vYge jmenovanYm za yYpomoc vdeeni, neb kande bylo na svem miste Patti nage diky take manhelkam nasich Clem, ktere nam tolik vypomohly radou i skutekem.

A nyni jsem uz na zakladu slavnosti, kterym ovhem byli na gi, bratti a sestry, kteki celou silou pracovali pro Uspech ceMho podniku. Neni mistne, aby jsme si dekovali, ale chvalyhodtie jest, he jsme tak svorne prilozili ruce k dilu a dovedli je ku fispegnemu zakoneeni. Jest nas tady jen hrstka s ptiro ynanim jinde, ale i ti mnoho dovedou, kdyh maji dobrou Pracovali v gichni pilne, nekteti a2 do 11padu, ale nedbali jsme toho, jen kdyh se to povedlo. Podruhe 0 to piljde lepe, neb mame nejen slibeno vice pomoci, ale mame 0 zku genost a budeme lepe vedet jak si veci zahidit. Mne velice te gilo jak za

Navgteva oslavy byla velika a byli zde Tide nejen z blizkYch osad a mest, ale i vzdalenej gi. Na phiklad, byly zde rodiny Machovi z Manor; Machartovi z Cainham; Kadleekovi a Zajiokovi z Houston; Rrikokovi a ses. Luk gova z Ft. Worth; Greenovi z Bryan; Krupiekovi, Rindorfovi, Kuhelovi a sl. Wokata z Waco; moje sestra Irena Kuhelova ze San Antonio; Ragkoyi z Needville, a mohna, he i jini, s kterYmi jsem se nesetkala.

Byli jsme hojne hadani, aby jsme zase pokadali piknik letos, °oh se pravdepodobne stane.

S ureitosti vime, M Smetana dlel na Saro v lete r. 1858. Umelcova chot', ktera se nikdy nesmitila s griteborskym ovzdugim a na nib vlhke vetrne povetti zapadniho Avedskeho pobteli prisobilo zhoubne, ne-

Zachovala se nam z r. 1858 Smetanova neurnela kresba, ptedstavujici dtevenY ptizemni dornek s mansardovou nastavboo, kde mistr a jeho chot' travili tehdy lett). Z kresbieky vysvita, Z",e dornek byl obklopen vzrostlYmi a koSatYmi strorny.

Tarn hiedival Smetana na ocelove zbarvenou, klidnou hladinu zatoky Malleviku, tam se prochazel pod korunami staletYch dubu, tarn naslouchal za yantim vetru, ktery zni v "skargardu" podivne kovovym zvukem.

Smetana pracoval horeene na mohutne symfonicke skladbe "Richard III." v ktere se ozYva hlas tvorby slavneho skladatele Liszta, jehoZ tehdy obdivoval. "Richard III." nebyl psan pro G-Oteborg, jehoZ. hudebni kultura nebyla je'Ste vyspela tou merou, aby obecenstvo 'mohlo pine ocenit hodnotu tohoto dila, ba, ani ne pro lorahu. Smetana poeital s provedenim ye VYrnaru, maje za to, Ze tak upozorni na sebe hudebni. Evropu. Lisztovi sdeloval v dopise, tie psal tuto syrnfonickou basal "s radosti a laskou i s napetina vtioch syYch sil". Dilo dokoneil Smetana 17. eervence 1858.

Za tehdejSiho pobytu v SarO se take vykrystalisovavala, v mistrovE',‘ mysli skladba "ValdUejntiv tabor", s kterou byl hotoy na samem zaeatku ptiStiho roku.

Jine dilo, ke kteremu dal rovne2 Smetanovi podnet pobyt na skandina yskem severu, byla symfonie s nametem ryze severskYm "Hakon Jail", ale k jejimu napsani doSlo teprve pozdeji, zaeatkem let S'edesatYch, kdy Smetana se ji2 chystal k navratu do Cech.

Je moZno ptedpokladat, tie dojmy z pobytu na pt yabnem Sarfi pasobily na Bedticha Smetanu, kdyz skladal bravurni etudu "Na bkehu motskem". Bylo to na podzirri r. 1861, kdy'z' se byl jiZ vratil ze Svedska k trvalemu pobytu v Praze.

Smetana mei mote rad a rad se potuloval po jeho btehu. Zdenek NejedlY, znamenitY znalec Smetanovy tvorby, si cent drobne skladby "Na btehu motskem". Napsal o ni, to "obraz mote, ovS'em prave jen hraveho, ticheho, smaveho, opravdu podivuhodne pfileha k hravosti, jemnosti a ptvabu techto etudovYch pastili. Nad nirni pal zni nemene jemna a ptivabna melodic, no velkeho rozmachu, nYbrZ naopak jen motiv stale a stale ,se vracejfci.

Ale pray() proto z ni slySime jakoby nekoneenou p5sen mote, stale stejnou a piece stale jinou, ja.k leti po klidne a piece rozectene hladine."

Jiste se rozpomnel Smetana znovu na mote a an prochazky po btezich Saro, kdyZ s,kladal po dvaceti etech sbor "Pisen na mai".

Strana 12 MADAME CURIE A OBJEV RADIA. A. L. Kaiser.

Je tonal padesat let, co byl po dlouhe a vysilujici badatelske praci objeven v jachymovskem smolinci novy clulditY prvek — radium. V dopise, kterYm objevitelka, pani Curieova, s yfij objev oznamila fra,ncouzske Akademii ved v21, bylo dosloyne uvedeno toto: "Nova radioaktivni latka obsahuje je gte velke mnoIstvi pribuzneho prvku barya. Presto je jeji radioaktivita znaena. Radioaktivita radia je tedy jiste obrovska."

Kdyl pani Curieova tuto zpravu psala, tugila patrne, le prigla na stopu eehosi, co otrese ustalenYm nazorem na sloleni hmoty. Jiste vgak netugila, e jeji objev povede nejen k dokonalemu vyvraceni staleteho nazoru na hmotu, ale i k prudkemu a taidka osudovemu vYvoji nove fysiky, o norm nelze dosud Nei povede-li k zlepgeni‘livota eloveka na Zemi éi k jeho zahube. Od objevu radia vede totil neprima, ale jista cesta k rozbiti atomu.

Tuto cestu pani Curieova, nemohla tugit• a2 do konce livota verila, e jeji objev phnese eloveku a vede jen prospech a nb jineho. A prospech skuteene prinagel.

Pani Marie Sklodowskaa rodem Polka z Vargavy (narozena 7. listopadu 1868), studujici na pari2ske Sorbonne, gt'astne spojila svuj osud a sve neobyeejne nadani s profesorem fysiky Francouzem Petrem Curie, skromnYm, avg ak bystrYm myslitelem a nefmaynYm vedeckYrn pracovnikern. Bylo to dokonale a gt'astne stvi jak pc) strance citove, tak i ve smyslu fizke, trvale a obetave spoluprace v oboru, kterY byl jejich zivotnim -adelem. Bylo to studium problemu zareni nekterYch prvica, predev gim uranu. Aekoliv byl Petr Curie jako fysik a matematik v tomto manlelskem pracovnim spoleeenstvi vldy pevnou zarukou presneho vedeckeho postupu, je faktera, e vficleim duchem nefinavne badatelske prace byla pani Marie Sklodwska Curierova. SvYm yYznamem patIi k nejvet gim yedeckYm prtjkopniUm, ba mezi nejvetg i hvezdy na nebi yedeckeho pokroku.

Avg ak v jakYch skromnYch pomerech dospela M. Curiova k svernu epochalnimu objevu! Aby nova prvek isalovala v chemicky Cistern stavu, aby zjistila jeho spektrum a stanovila jano atomovou vdhu — nebot' toho v':teho bylo zapotrebi prilkazu o jeho existenci — pracovala plnYch pet let bez jakekoli Pomoci a s prostredky nejskromnejAhni. Vet g inu prace vykonala M. Curieova v drevene Wane, kterou v koute nadvori mesfske fysikalm a chemicke gkole v Paiii oba manlele sand ze sy Ych takrka ubohYch prostredktir zafidili jako laborator.

ce, ne l se ji podarilo odcielit radium od barya a ziskati nekolik miligranth eisteho radium chloridu, z nelao jil. bylo rnolno ureiti jak spektrum, tak i atomovou vahu radia.

Byla to prace ohromna, kterou by se nebylo podarilo vykonat bez prakopnickeho nad geni a bez vytrvalosti, s jakou M. Curieova v dile pokraeovala i pak, kdyl se jeji mantel ji l vzdal nadeje v dobrY yYsledek a venoval- se vlastni praci. Pri torn oba _manlele se musili starat o livobyti, oba vyueovali na gkole a vedle toho studovali ve, co se tYkalo jejich spoleeneho problemu.

Jestifle vgak prace M. Curieove byla o-hromna, byl 1 ohromnY jeji vYsiedek. Prastara a zdanlive pevna stavba nazorti na sloleni a promen.y hmoty se otrasla v samYch zakladech. Vznika novy, veliky vedni obor, atomova, fysika, rozviji se rychle nova badatelske prace - v laboratrich vg ech kulturnich narodft, dochazi k noyYm objevtim a k revoluci v nove fysice, ktera se od te doby yyz-naeuje neustalou dynamikou. Stare nazory na hmotu se staly temet naraz historickYini, hi/Iota prestala bYt hmotou ye starem slova smyslu. Tajemsty i jejlho sloleni se po jedne strance vysvetlilo, jinak se yeah jegte vice prohloubilo.

Na slavnou objevitelku se snes1 de gt/ u,znani a poet. Bylo ji a jejimu manleli spolu s objevitelem uranoveho zareni H. Becquerelem udelena Nobelova cena za fysiku (1903), kteroato poctu dosahla pani Dr. M. Ctirieova znovu v roce 1911 za svoji dal gi Uspeg nou vedeckou praci, v nil pokraeovala po tragicke smrti sveho manlela, ktery byl roku 1906 usrnrcen povozem na paiilske ulici. Pani Curieova vychovala d ye dcery, Irenu a Evu, z nichl Irena si zvolila stejnou livotni vedeckou drahu jako jeji matka a se s yYm manZelem, fysikem F. Joliotem, dosahla rovnel Nobelovy ceny za objev umele radioaktivity.

Pani Curieova patri k nejvet gim yedeckYm prftkopniktim a objeviteltim. Objev radia a radioaktivity je poeatkern ohromneho rozvoje moderni fysiky, ktera se stava nejmocnej gim nastrojem eloveka k dokonalej gimu ovladnuti prirody. Nehiedic ani k lekarskemu uliti yYsledkft tohoto objevu (na pC. pri leeeni rakoviny), male a mel by tento rozvoj fysiky, zpilsobenY objevem M.

A kam tento cil cesty vede dale, je tajemstvim vYrobcü nejen atomovYch bomb, jel zastiriuji nag nynej gi svet, ale patrne i jinYch zhoubnVeh nastrojt Cloveka dvacateho stoleti.

Techto specialnich vYbojil atomove fysiky, jejich podstatou je zareni hmoty, icdysi tak tajemne — se pani Curieova nedoldla. Zemrela roku 1934 jako slavna Zena-ba.datelka s pevnou virou, Ce jeji prace musi prinesti lidstvu netu geny prospeleh a dobra.

Aby se tak mohlo stati, musi se zmenit nejen moralka eloveka, ale predevgim spoleeenskY rad, z nehol nova moralka vyrtista. M. Curieova sve objevy vldy publikovala, nikdy si nedala nic patentovat, nikdy nechtela hmotne ze sve prace telit.

Sve objevy dala zadarmo celemu lidstvu.

Antoninem prodali. — Martin zemtel nekdy kolem r. 1505 a vdova po nem Svata se provdala za platnete Jindficha ze sousedniho domu Cp. 117 "U eerveneho Iva", a0"ak i Jimitich asi za deset let na to zemtel a 10. ledna 1519 koupil dam Cp. 117 od Svatavy, nekdy Sarkove, zameanik Matej za 32 kopy.

Jincitich, ktery si vzal Svatavu, pkijal s ni i ptijrni- arka, a byl na rozdil od Sarky 1),Iladeho (Matak z domu Cp. 116) nazYvan Sarkou StarSTm. Tento Jindtich, jen si ptijrni vypajoil od sveho ptedchadce v manZelstvi, koupil jeate za sveho Zivobyti — 2. eervna 1516 — v . Platnatske ulici dam Cp. 119 — "dam, na kterem jest odenec vytesanY udelan z kainene", jak di zapis, a to "od Katetiny, nekdy Pavla Tlaeisveta, za sto petmecitma kop groMi." Tento dam po smrti Jindfichove prodala Svata, vdova po nem, 1. prosince 1519 siremu sync Mataovi a sna ge Andce, kdysi ma.jitelam sousedniho domu Cp. 116 — uZ za poullYich 30 kop ("rodinna, cena").

Tak se Platnet MatO ei Matej zvar4 Sarka MladY, stal postupne majitelem dvou znarnenitS7ch domil v Platnetske ulici, avgak, bithsud% jak to s jeho movitosti doopravdy bylo. KdyZ totiZ r. 1523 on i jeho Zeno, Andka zemteli, zjistilo se, Ze

1521 dokonce kostelnik), otec pani Any,rky Sarkove — ktery 20. eervence 1521 vN, povedel po pravde, Ze s tim vim nieeho miti nechce a Ze nehodla platiti nit "po smrti Matak Sarky, zete sveho, a Andky, dcery sve, tehoZ" MataAe manZelky, ktetiZ zakapiv'Se ten dam u vodence zemteli a statku nepozuostavili, toliko jedno pacholatko".

Slovem, vkchny ti-i dosud garkovske domy ptigly po r. 1521 do jinYch rukou. A nejmlaai Sarka, sirotek Jira (Jitik ) se nam vynotuje zas aZ po dalMch dvaceti letech, take jako platnet a od 15. kvetna 1542 majitel domu Cp. 125 (pozdeji "Ziata bota"), ktery koupil od V. Rady za 90 kop.

Je nepoveclomo, koho mel za Zenu, vinie jen, Ze po smrti sve r. 1563 zanechal tti sirotky Andku, Reginu a Jana. A ti se objevuji (divky pod jinYmi jmeny) zas take aZ za dal§ich 20 let (1580-1584), kdy po poslednim svatomikulagskem Sarkovi, Janu, zbYva, vdova Doreta, nemajetna.

Rod platnete Sarky ma tedy svou domenu v Platnetske ulici (etyki tarecke domy), nikoliv v Dejvicich. A nej yyznaranefSim z tech dome je nesporne "dam a odence" (Cp. 119), te2 "u telezneho mute", ye kterem, se odehrava jedna z nejznamej§ich staropraIskYch povesti o zakletem rytiti, ktery tam svYm zjevovanirn tak dlouho Zenske straS11, aZ ho jedna chuda divka — samortejme laskou! — naVZdy od zakleti osvobodila. Tato povest, ttebale se v ni jmeno Sarka nevyskytuje, je sttedovekYm antipodem starodavne povesti o Ctiradovi a 8 arce, a aZ ji nekdo bude znovu zatazovat do ri gence praIskych povesti, milZe s ironick)im klidcm napsat, 'Ze ten rytit byl vlastne utracen* chudak Ctirad, ktery tak dlouho chodil pralskym Sarkam hryzat svedorni, aZ mu jedna z nich po mnoha staletich piece jen podala dukaz, ae plemeno Zenske nerd ye fundamentu tak zaludne a zradne, jak v povidackach vypada.

Proto vitame s takovou radosti nove velke krasne vydani skladebneho dila Pavia KtiZkovskeho, ktere prave vyslo v Melantrichu peel Spoleenosti Pavia Ktilkovskeho v Opave) ye sbirce Monumenta Musicax Bohemi-

Svazek prvni je venovan skladbarn pi.srioyStrn, sborovYm a kantatovSim. K tisku peelive ptipravil, poznamkami a vysvetlivkami znamenite opattili Vilern Steinman a Jan Racek. V Cele dila je podobizna Pavia KtiZkovskeho, idealniho vlastence prate, jenZ ce1Sr svilj Zivot zasvetil budbe a zpevu vedle sveho kneZskeho poslani. Pavel KtilovskY se narodil 9. ledna 1820 v Holasovicich ve Slersku. Sve detstvi prail v prostkedi hudby. Aekoliv mel bYti temeslnikem, oddal se hudbe a zpevu. Zpiva v kostelich, bojuje o skYvu chleba, ale pH tom neustale todi po spinerii sveho venovati se hudbe. Studuje filosofii v Brne. Je novicem Kralove Klagtera na Starem Erne, zasluhou Klaceloyou a Sugilovou proZiva silne narodni uvedomeni a jeho smysl, ktery se projevuje pozdeji v jeho praci. Byl vysvecen na kneze v revolueni roce 1948, jmenovan piedstavenYm brnenske klag terni funda.ce, kter3iZto atad zastaval aZ do roku 1884.

Dale je katechetou v Liskovci, ueltelem nabolenstvi v Brne, •dirigentem velkYch kantatovSich koncerta, elen.em smyecoveil° kvarteta, spoluzakladatelem Besedy brnenske i jejim sbormistrem. Velke popularity dosahi druhYm znenim sboru.

Umtel ve sve klag' terni cele 8. kvetna 1885. Jeho dilo se stalo majetkem celeho naroda. Dnes neni peveckeho spolku, ktery by je name]. programu jako z hlavnich sbort, jejich1 provedeni strhuje vZdy svoji ptekrasnou zpevnosti, uptimnou citovosti a hudebni eistotou. KfiZkovsky vytvotil na podklade na,pevneho bohatstvi mora yske lidove pisne vrcholnY typ sborove skladby v dobe pkedsmetanovske. Zil sice jeste v ovzdai obrozenskeho romantismu, ale silou sveho tvareiho ducha se povznesl vysoko nad pramer tehdejM Ceske hudby. V tom diu4no pra.ve hledat jeho vYznam umeleckY a jeho poslani zakladatelske v nove Ceske hudebni kultufe. ) • Jeden malit nezplatil domacimu einZi za nekolik kvartala.

At ji napadla Staza Kratinova. Meli chalupu na samote v "plutinach", asi deset minut ode Lhoty. BYvala, tam pied lety pohodnice.

Aokoliv ji nikdo neptistihl, piece jistili lido, se kdyZ se rozvtekli, otce i matku z chalupy vy'Zene, dvete zavke a neotevdokud ji zlost nepkejde. • Pokorna znala date Kratinovy, lope nel kdo jinY znala, co se o nich povida, ale vtehle chvili se vaemu dala do smichu.

Pri jedne muzice setkala se s Vaikem.

Piisel taky se Z'enou, nastrojenou a nadesanou, as se ji vlasy leskly a omastek na dele se blYskal. Spattiv Kotrbku, zarazil se a chvatne vedl Zenu k jinemu stolu.

Leo Sladek , Brother Joe Zaludek, chairman of the board of directors of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, caught me by the arm.

"Listen, have you heard anything about Brother Leo Sladek, of Corpus Christi, passing away? Here Brother Drawe mentions that somebody told him, but I haven't seen anything in the Vestnik. Is it so or not?"

"Yes, we lost Leo Sladek. The only source of information which I have run across so far was a short paragraph by Brother Moravek, of Rosbtown, published the second week in July, stating that we lost a good member."

"I can't undertand that," continued Brother Zaludek. "That's a shock, really a deep k. Why, let me tell you, Sladek could be called one of the unsung heroes of the SPJST. I mean it. Some members may not believe it, but Sladek was one of the strongest organizers, the old-time organizers, that the SPJST had."

"You mean in securing new members?"

"Well, indirectly, because he organized lodges. For thirty-five years he traveled to four corners of our great state organizing lodges and encouraging the members to continue. Many of the lodges he helped organize are now prosperous and have large membership. I know what I am talking about. When Lodge Rozkvet Zapadu No. 107 held its first meeting, it was at our house in Floresville, and Leo Sladek was one of the leading men."

"How come that no report of his death was given in the Vestnik?" asked Brother Drawe.

"There should have been," emphasized Brother Zaludek. "Leo Sladek had plenty of friends all over Texas, friends in Taylor, in Floresville, in Corpus Christi and Robstown, why, he had plenty of them here in our own lodge, Number 88. Last year, when our delegates met him in Fort Worth—you know how it is at the convention, discussing things

in general—he told us that he came to the convention with the purpose to streamline and modernize our SPJST, no horse-and-buggy reverence, no stopping the clock of time. And he told us that if our delegation had any good progressive ideas he was with us 100%. But if we had any old-fashioned oxcart notions he would fight us. Personally, I would expect a man of his age to stick more to the idea we-used-to-do-it-and-it worked, but not Leo Sladek. Every time he got the floor at the convention, he commanded full attention by his clear deep voice and by his original and forward-moving ideas stated right down to the point. He did not waste words. I tell you he'll be missed by many members.

Sladek really was one of the unsung heroes of the SPJST, and all those lodges which he helped organize should in their next meeting pause for a moment in respect to his Work and to his memory."

"Brother Joe," I asked when Brother Zaludek became silent with reflection, "may I put your words in the Vestnik?"

"Why, of course. He was your friend like he was everybody's friend. And while you're at it, tell his family how deeply we've been shocked to hear of his passing away and that his memory will stay with us."

Hardly anything more can be added to the sentiment expressed by Brother Joe Zaludek.

The SPJST lost a truly good member.

The death of this member of the SPJST will leave an empty place in the hearts of all who knew him, and an empty place on the By-Laws Committee which no successor, however beloved or capable, can exactly fill.

4, • ( )

Time for Acti It is highly gratifying to learn that the Supreme Lodge has already resumed its training courses for the organizers.

Three meetings have already been held: in Corpus Christi, Floresville, Hallettsvine, and one more is being planned for Placedo to be held the last week in July.

The standards and ethics of the fraternal insurance system are in the hands of the organizers, and it is through them that the best advertising for our SPJST can be carried out. There is the need

for a continual improvement in selling technique which cannot be learned from reading, study, or written instructions alone. It can be developed only through drilling in the district meetings, in mutual discussion cf the methods, and in complete discussion of various types of protection which the SPJST offers.

It has always been a wonder to me that there have been as many successful organizers with such scanty technical training in the fraternal insurance selling. It must have been the spirit of real fraternalism—or call it brotherly love— that gave our SPJST organizers the necessary enthusiasm to carry on and to secure so many new members.

But it takes more than enthusiasm and brotherly love to carry on in the future.

If we are to keep our SPJST growing, or to keep pace with other fraternal societies, our organizers are going to need greater knowledge of the insurance business than they had in the past.

Since our SPJST is a member of the National Fraternal Congress, it may be advantageous to consider the practicability to encourage one or two of our organizers to enroll in the Fraternal Insurance Courses of Study and to complete at least the first one-half of the basic course. Such a course of study would be of immense value to any individual as well as to the SPJST in general.

Take for instance the Lutheran Brotherhood, a fraternal organization founded in 1917. In thirty years it has shown more progress than most of the older fraternal societies. It is six times as strong as our SPJST. Its phenomenal growth can be explained mostly by the method of training its organizers.

The Lutheran Brotherhood have one man who is in complete charge of the field workers and organizers. These organizers are either part-time workers or full-time representatives. Each new full-time organizer is asked to enroll in the Fraternal Insurance Course of Study, but he begins to work in the field immediately under the supervision of the man-in-charge from the headquarters.

This man from the headquarters spends at least one solid week from early morning to late evening with the new fulltime organizer. The early morning hours are spent in instructing the new organ-

Strana 20 izer in the Lutheran Brotherhood history, its marvelous growth, its board of directors, its officers, and its five kinds of certificates. All this must be learned by heart.

Next, the new full-time organizer is given instructions how to use the rate book and how to read the dividend scale, concentrating on only one or two certificates until he masters them thoroughly.

When he has complete understanding and skill in handling one or two certificates, he advances to the remaining three. The Lutheran Brotherhood has only five plans of insurance.

After two hours of early morning instruction, or about 10:00 A. M., the man from the headquarters and the new organizer go out together to make calls, interview prospects, and sell insurance.

The man-in-charge does the talking, and has the new man listen to his way of approaching a prospect, the sales story of the Lutheran Brotherhood, and the presentation of the insurance plan.

If the new organizer has no prospects, the man-in-charge shows him how to locate them, or how to do what is called "cold-canvassing." The man from the headquearters continues this for one solid week, approaching, interviewing, and selling until the new organizer gains the confidence and technique of representing his organization and presenting the insurance plan to fill the needs of the prospect.

The man from the headquarters is paid a salary and an over-writing commission to compensate him for training the organizers. He is not allowed to split commission with those whom he is instructing. All business written with the aid of man-in-charge is in the name of the new organizer who gets his full commission.

The Lutheran Brotherhood believes that all organizers are entitled to a good start from the very beginning, and no one expects a new organizer to go out alone in the first week. This procedure may account for some of the outstanding success, explaining at least partially how the Lutheran Brotherhood increased its membership by net gain of 18,527 members in the year of 1948. It is the difference in the method, the effort, and the time spent in training the organizers that brings the actual result. ) ° eTa * ( You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.—Chinese Proverb. )• ° Income tax is the fine we pay for reckless thriving.

tly Democracy Works!

As I was collecting material to write about what other fraternal society did and have been doing, I found, that one local lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in Minnesota had sponsored a notable citizenship project.

Stated briefly, this lodge announced a contest for the high-school children in a certain part of the state of Minnesota in writing an essay on the topic of "Why Democracy Works." The prize-winning essay was written by a. 16-year-old girl.

Whether or not the winner received a cash prize, a trip to Washington, or a scholarship to attend some university, I was unable to determine. One thing is, however, certain: the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks received its share of favorable publicity. The school children talked, the teachers talked, the parents talked, and the whole cornmunities talked about the B. P. 0. E. It made good advertising for the Elks, and it prepared ground for securing • new members of the high school age.

The winning essay is worth reading.

The readers of the Vestnik will enjoy it.

Maybe, some day, our SPJST or some of our local lodges may work out a similar idea.

WHY DEMOCRACY WORKS (By Luella Silverthorn) I watched my sisters playing with their dolls one day and with the big question, "Why does democracy work?" milling around in my mind I think that I began to understand.

One doll was told she was sleepy so she slept, another was told she was hungry so she was fed, another was designated as a dancer so she danced.

Two boy dolls had a fierce battle of tiny clay fists and fierce words because Irene said, "Come, Virginia, let's make our dolls fight."

Thus it continued. The dolls cried, slept, ate, danced, fought, and played in a truly human way, but all the time they were guided and manipulated by the busy hands and minds of two very active little girls.

Soon the little sisters tired of their play and left to seek new adventure. All that was left were the sawdust-filled dolls with silly, grinning faces. Their masters were gone and to was their animation. They neither moved, cried, danced, nor fought. Their will had been the will of their masters and without their masters' will they were lifeless.

Suddenly I knew why democracy works.

Helf the world today is made up of just such sawdust-filled dolls. They walk the path their leaders tell them to walk, say the things their leaders tell them to say,

I

do as they are told to do, think as they are told to think, and respond only as puppets on a string respond.

A child born Into a dictatorship is looked upon as some raw material to be fashioned in a way that will find him most useful to his leader's purpose. He is trained to believe in, to care about, and to do only those things which will benefit his state. His loyalties are learned by rote. If he fails in his duty to his state, he pays with his life.

In a democracy a child is guided and trained to become a person and not a tool of some half-crazed individual. He is taught to think for himself, and to make his own decisions. When he says, "I'm proud that I live where there's a democracy," he's speaking from his head, heart, and soul. All parts of him have been allowed to develop into a free, thinking whole.

A democracy works, too, because we learn to know that we can be leaders as well as followers. We become leaders when we can call people's attention to matters that ought to be considered.

This is apparent in our every-day living.

We practice it in our class rooms, in our club meetings, in our families, in business, and in our play. Everyone from grandfather to preschool Johnny has his say and is, at one time or another, a leader if only in his family group.

In a dictatorship there is only one recognized leader. One way or another each individual is convinced that he can only be a follower.

Several hundred years ago a downtrodden people sought freedom of religion in America. They wanted to think as they liked, write what they liked, and worship God as they saw fit. Their ideas and ideals became part of a democracy.

Free people today bow their heads to God alone.

If one man in a democracy should rise and say, "I am your leader and, therefore, worship me," we'd laugh and say, "Not all the insane are confined, I see." Yet that same thing is going on in countries all over the world, and people humble themselves at the feet of a mortal with his feet in the slime. Why? Because the people are not allowed to think or learn. Those who might teach are rendered speechless and so the people grope in darkness.

Democracy works and will continue to work just so long as the people realize that they have an ideal worth living or dying for. Our ancestors gave us the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, and our , Constitution.

Through documents like these and by bloodshed we have built the wonderful edifice of democracy with its foundations built upon such solid ideas as the

Ve stkedu, dne 27. dervence 1949. right of every individual to choose his way of life, the right of private property, freedom of speech, freedom to seek the truth, and freedom of the press.

In Italy everything was done to glorify the Nation. In Germany they tried to glorify the race. In Russia the worker is glorified. In a democracy we glorify freedom and liberty. Everything is done to help the individual no matter from what race he may come.

I say three cheers for liberty, and three cheers for democracy. It has worked, it does work, and it will continue to work as long as there are free thinkers in a free world. )• •( GROWING UP—TOO FAST "Johnny is growing up fast, isn't he?

When Communism Was Tried in America Americans have already tried total communism. Those who undertook the experiment were not "wild-eyed foreigners" but mostly Anglo-Saxons of the highest principles and intentions. A pioneer courage inspired it; plenty of money backed it; no persecution hampered it. Yet the attempt ended in dismal failure.

The time was one of peace and plenty the mid-1820's. The place was called New Harmony, on the banks of the Wabash in Indiana. The moving spirit was the British philanthropist and reformer, Robert Owen.

Born in Wales in, 1771, Owen had himself been a victim of the worst period of child labor slavery. But he fought his way up to wealth and power, determined to do something about the social abuses of the era. In his model textile mills at New Lanark, Scotland, he provided .choois for employees still minors, and nurseries for the children of working mothers. He replaced slums with decent housing, and when his mills closed during a cotton shortage he kept all hands on at full pay.

But his reforms were viewed with re-

IrtSTNIIC WEST, TEXAS sentment. When he denounced child labor he was accused of trying to weaken parental authority. Because he declared that married women should retain legal tights in their own property, he was decried as coming between man and wife.

Owen turned to America. Before a tolerantly interested Congress, the Supreme Court and President Monroe, he exhibited a model of his proposed town and outlined the system he intended to set up.

His plan was a strange mixture of common sense and roseate dreams. He proposed to create a society in which women would vote, child labor would be abolished, and there would be compulsory public education for all. At that time not one of these objectives had been attained in America. But Owen went further. He planned to "remodel . the world entirely, and to abolish all dissension and warfare."

He proposed to strike at the root of all evil by abolishing money and private property—the same experiment the Communists later tried unsuccessfully in Russia. Attributing prejudice and selfishness to the sentiments of the oldfashioned family, he proposed to take children from their parents at the age of two and give them special training in service to the state.

For $200,000 Owen purchased 30,000 acres on the Wabash from a religious sect known as the Rappists, who had wrested the land from the wilderness, and built houses, mills and factories.

Thus magnificently equipped, a n d christened New Harmony, Owen's Kingdom-Come-in-the-Wilderness opened its doors April 27, 1825, and invited the world to enter.

From all parts of the country people flocked, brought by every sort of motive.

Some, unfit in the world as it was, had concluded that they would make ideal citizens of the world as it ought to be; others were sharpers. But there was a solid backbone of honest idealists, ready to make great sacrifices' for the common good.

The 800 founders of a new world order found the first summer very pleasant.

The Rappists' crops and herds, and the river teeming with fish, provided plenty of food. They had little to do but enjoy themselves.

In the fall, Owen, thinking all was well, went to England to wind up his affairs. he returned triumphantly in January 1826, with some of the most gifted men and women of the day. Two were Owen's sons. Robert Dale Owen was to become one of Indiana's most progressive legislators. David Dale Owen became an internationally famous ge-

Strum 21 ologist. There were also such men ao William Maclure, president of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences; Josiah Warren, economist, naturalist and the inventor of a rotary press; Thomas Say, entomologist; and Gerard Troost, noted Dutch chemist and geologist, and other celebrated intellectuals.

A permanent constitution for New Harmony was drawn up. Everyone was to labor, but instead of rewarding services in proportion to their worth all were to share alike. Everybody was to live in community homes and have the same food and clothing. Property was to be owned in common. New Harmony was to be conducted like one big happy family.

Almost immediately the millennium showed alarming signs of departure. The moochers howled because they had to work. The industrious complained that as fast as the fruits of their toil accumulated they were borne off by the parasitic. In a town that was supposed to have abolished money, people were ready to sell their souls for the feel of hard cash. Some of the more godly people protested the absence of religious worship and set up a community of their own a few miles off.

Ordinary standards of moral responsibility deteriorated swiftly. Since there was no incentive for accomplishment, the only ambition of the New Harmonists was to survive—without hope of an improved status. Inherent talents could not be developed because everybody had to take turns in performing necessary tasks. This led to the spectacle of musicians trying to milk cows, geologists attempting to solve the mystery of sewing on buttons. And if it was a waste of brilliant Robert Dale Owen's time to bake bread, it was also a painful experience to eat one of his loaves. Women, relieved of doing .the family wash, were drafted to work in the community laundry.

Great dissatisfaction arose from the scheme for state care and training of children. Parents lost the help and comfort of the older children, and saw the little ones starved for affection, regimented every hour of the day.

All the confusion, waste and misery in the Perfect State resulted in a popular demand that Owen should, "until things got better," accept practically dictatorial powers, just as happened in Russia a century later. The offer was trustingly made and conscientiously accepted. That ruthless tyranny did not result was due to Owen's lofty principles. But the consequence was to make him personally and helplessly responsible for every grievance and failure.

Pitted against Owen was the operation

of economic laws which he did not recognize, and normal human reactions which he did not understand. It has been said that communism, to succeed, must be based on grace (as in a religious order) or on force (as in Russia). Owen, a free thinker and an opponent of violence, rejected both.

Communism in New Harmony had a life of a little more than two years. By that time the situation was hopeless.

The Rappites' cattle had been recklessly slaughtered, the pigs had broken through unmended fences and grubbed out the vegetables, the weeds were higher than the wheat and flax, and the community, instead of being self-supporting, was buying food and clothing from outside.

An editorial in the town's Gazette admitted the failure of the experiment and declared that New Harmony was no longer a community; the people who remained there would now have to earn their living in ordinary competitive industry. On June 1, 1827, Owen paid all debts and departed, broken in health, fortune and reputation.

New Harmony still stands, a monument to the failure of nonsense and the success of sane progress. It is a mecca for students who go there to pore over detailed documentation •of America's experiment with communism. The population of about 1000 laugh heartily over the mistakes of the town's founders but are proud that they had the first free public library, woman's club and kindergartens in the country. They point out that American common sense adopted the sound progressive aspects of Owen's Utopia, while turning down his impractical theories.

More clearly than Owen, or than many a theorist today, the plain people perceived that more happiness can be achieved in the natural competitive system, if its inequalities are constantly combatted, than in an artificial structure of society built on the assumption that all men are alike in their views, desires and ability. ) • 4 • A GREATER DIFFICULTY No matter how great the difficulty of paying the premium may seem to be, it is never as great as the difficulty which ay fall upon the family if the family must do without the insurance.

Astronomer Who Never Finished High School Thousands of farmers nave made more money frcAn their crops than Leslie C. Peltier has made from his forty-acre homestead near Delphos, Ohio, But none, I believe, has found a greater rapture in living. For this 49-year-old farmer has spent almost every night for 30 years exploring the heavens with a small telescope, and, though he never finished high school, is today the world's greatest amateur astronomer.

Pelties ha e probably recorded more observations , of the mysterious variable stars than any other living man. He has recorded at least one new star never before charted by mankind. And, since 1925, when his sharp eye and four-inch telescope picked out a comet that had evaded the world's mightiest telescopes, he has been the discoverer or co-discoverer of seven comets, the last one this year.

The story of this farmer-astronomer starts 33 years ago, at Christmas, when Peltier's mother gave him A Field Book of the Stars, by the late William Tyler Olcott, then of the Harvard faculty. As Leslie started reading the book, he says, a slow thrill crept over him. Here, in layman's language, was an explanation of the workings of that mighty clock which is the solar system, a description of the meanin g of many of the countless suns beyond it, and, best of all, a sky chart which made it possible to identify many of the brighter stars at a glance.

Thereafter on every clear night Leslie would go cut into an open field and spend hours matching the stars against those on his chart. Yet the things he learned only whetted his hunger to know more. He wrote professor Olcott and was told that, if he would acquire a telescope, he might become an observer of variable stars.

The cheapest telescope Leslie, could buy that would answer his purpose, a two-inch affair, cost $18. He didn't have $18. But when the strawberry season came he earned it—by picking 900 quarts at two cents a quart.

The night his telescope arrived was the greatest of his life. From sunset to sunrise he lay on his back in a meadow while the new telescope broadened the universe beyond his wildest dreams. He saw Vega, the brightest star visible in the northern hemisphere, change from a mere point of light into a brilliant white diamond. He saw the Milky Way break up into countless individual suns.

He saw the four little moons which swing around Jupiter and the amazing rings which form a belt 179,000 miles in dia

Ve stfedu, dne 27. '6ervenee meter around the giant Saturn.

But Leslie wasted little time after that on haphazard stargazing. He set up a ,fence post with a swivel arrangement for his telescope, and sent to Harvard for charts issued by the American Association of Variable Stay Observers. On every clear and moonless night, he would record his observations of variables.

Variable stars are those whose 'brilliance is not constant. The eternal ebb and flow of their light constitute one of the major mysteries of the heavens. Leslie Peltier has charted and sent to Harvard more than 50,000 observations of variables. This contribution, astronomers agree, is in itself as important to science as his sensational discoveries of new comets.

While Leslie was still exploring with his fence-post telescope, his brother enlisted for the World War. This meant that Leslie, after three years of high school, had to stay home and help his father with the farm work. But meanwhile he devoured every book on astronomy in the town library, sent away for others, and night after night, regardless of how hard he had worked during the day, he would resume his studies behind the little telescope.

In 1919, pleased by the observations he was sending them every month, officials of the Harvard Observatory asked Leslie if he wanted a four-inch telescope; the University would be happy to lend him one. Did he want it! Leslie's universe was again widened by millions of light years.

At a cost of less than $100, Leslie and his father built a crude observatory with a nine-foot revolving dome to house the four-incher. For two years more Leslie concentrated only on variables. Then, in 1921, he started searching for comets.

Many men have spent their lives combing the skies for those erractic bodies and have found none. For Peltier, four years passed without success. Then, on the bitterly chill night of November 13th, 1925, he detected an unknown tiny point of fuzzy light deep in the western sky.

His heart skipped a beat, for comets always look fuzzy in the distance, whereas a star is a clear point of light. But Peltier knew that what appears to be a comet is often just a faint nebula. In an hour NOTICE! All News for the English Section should be sent directly to: Associate Editor, 6402 Prague Street, Houston 7, Texas.

Ve stfedu, dne 27. e'ervence 1949. he would look at the fuZz again. If it had not moved the: chances would be thousands to one that it was a nebula.

The longest hour of Peltier's entire life ticked by. Then he looked again.

That spot of fuzz had moved. It was a comet, and it was tearing across the western sky like a house on fire! Peltier rushed out of the cold little observatory and sprinted across the frozen strawberry field to his home, to the telephone to tame .. .

That first cornet brought Peltier letters from distinguished professional astronomers throughout the world. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific awarded him a highly coveted medal.

Tourists flocked to his observatory. Ensuing comet discoveries, which he made in 1930, 1932 and 1933, brought him a finer telescope, a six-inch instrument loaned by Princeton University and especially designed for comet hunting.

In 1936 he discovered his new star, Nova Lacertae, which astronomy catalogues now list as one of the 5000 bright stars of the firmament. And on the night of May 15, 1936, he discovered his greatest comet—the Peltier Comet of 1936.

This giant comet, the brightest to be seen since Halley's Comet in 1910, is between 10,000 and 100,000 miles in diameter and raced through space only 16,000,000 miles from our earth, which is a closer appl'oaCh than is made by any other heavenly body except the moon and a couple of the asteroids.

For the Comet of 1936, which will not be seen again for 400 years, Peltier was given an Award of Merit by the American Association of Variable Star Observers, an honor which has been bestowed upon only two other men. He was summoned to Harvard and feted by the nation's most famous profesSional stargazers, and Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard Observatory, called him "one of the world's most distinguished astronomers." )• •

Pioneer of Democracy Three hundred years ago there was born a man whose ideas are so modern that the world is just catching up winsome of the best of them. He died 70 years before the birth of the United States of America, yet he was the first to propose it. And not only did he urge a 'Union of the colonies, he even drew up a plan for a league of nations. Pennsylvania, most prosperous of all the original colonies, was founded upon this man's personal fortune and on his faith in the great democratic principles embodied in the Declaration and the Constitution, though he lived too soon to sign either. "William Penn," declares the

V tS TN K WEST,TEKAS

historian John Fiske, "was by far the greatest among the founders of the American commonwealth."

Son of the old sea-dog, Admiral Sir William Penn, young William was born in 1644 in the shadow of the Tower of London—a gloomy shadow, symbol of despotic power. Men could be cast in ,prison there for nothing worse than their honest beliefs. And it was because of his own principles that this wealthy aristocrat, when only 24 years old, found himself a prisoner in the Tower. For he belonged to the persecuted Quaker faith.

Yet in demanding freedom of speech and freedom of worship he did not speak merely as a member of the Society of Friends, but as the friend of the society of free men everywhere.

For his faith Penn had been expelled from Oxford, and driven from home with blows by his father. Not this, nor even nine months of almost solitary confinement in the Tower, deterred him; he went ' about the British Isles, Holland, France and Germany, attracting crowds of two and three thousand, most of them not even Quakers but simply men in search of their lost rights, men who heard in Penn's strong voice the trumpet call to freedom. One day, in London, he and his followers found their meetinghouse locked against them by soldiers, and Penn led the assembly in prayer in the street. He was at once arrested and hailed into Old Bailey court, charged with unlawful, seditious and riotous assembly.

"Are you guilty of the indictment?" demanded the bewigged and frowning magistrate Sir Samuel Starling, Lord Mayor of London.

"The question," flung back young Penn, "is not whether I am guilty but whether the indictment is legal)" Above the hubbub which followed he proclaimed that a law denying the inalienable right of a man to obey his conscience is not valid.

"Stop his mouth! Clap him in the bail-dock!" thundered the Lord Mayor.

And, while the jury was instructed in so many words to bring in a verdict of guilty, Penn was forced into a cage as if he had been a wild beast.

"You are Englishmen," he called to the jurors. "Mind your privilege. Don't give away your right!"

"Nor will we ever!" cried the foreman.

Quaking but resolved, 12 good men and true returned to pronounce Penn guilty of no crime. The angry judge threatened to have their noses cut off, and sent them back, without food or fire, till they should change their minds.

But nothing broke their will. After five days the judge, beaten, clapped jurors

Strana 23-

and accused in Newgate prison for contempt of court. Penn's dying father paid the fine. The jurors sued the judge for illegal arrest, and won. Today a monument, on the site of the Old Bailey, commemorates "the great trial for liberty of conscience."

Five times did William Penn go to prison for his religious and political views. Each time he grew stronger. While he meditated and wrote his greatest books within prison walls, he became clearer about what he thought, and his will was forged into a rapier His fame increased; he was a martyr dear not only to Quakers but to freedom-loving men everywhere.

Born to the world of nobility and high offices, widely traveled and a linguist, Penn moved at ease in the courts of Europe, talked like an equal to Peter the Great, enjoyed a glass of wine with Samuel Pepys, and was just as much at home under a thatched cottage roof. He had the ear, successively, of four British monarch—Charles II, James II, William of Orange and Queen Anne—and by his influence saved scores of people from arbitrary imprisonment and unjust confiscation of property. Indirectly he saved thousants more by the principles he championed.

Unlike many idealists, Penn was not too white-handed to take part in local politics. He threw himself into the rough and tumble of borough elections which were as dishonest and violent as in the worst-run city wards of today. He knew that you can't have good government without working for it. Only when his candidate was twice °defeated by fraudulent returns did Penn give up England and turn his thoughts toward what he called the "Holy Experiment" — the founding of a new society in America.

Penn had inherited a claim of 16,000 pounds, which his father had loaned to Charles II, and he now petitioned the King to discharge this with a land grant in the New World, where he and other Friends could find sanctuary. Delighted to get rid of an old debt and a new sect, the Merry Monarch gave Penn a charter to a, lordly tract west of the Deleware River, almost all of what we call Pennoylvania, nearly equal in size to England, and but thinly inhabited by Indians, Swedes, Dutch and Englishmen 'under no-definite government.

That is how, one beautiful Indian summer morning in October 1682, the good ship Welcome glided like a weary swan whitely into Delaware Bay. At the little settlement of New Castle (now in Delaware) Penn stepped ashore and received the delegation bringing him a ."porringer of river-water, earth, and a

Strana 24 greentwig." Thus symbolically did he take possession of earth and stream and woods—Penn's woods, or Pennsylvania, as his loyal tenants insisted it should be called.

The banks of the Schuylkill were flaming with autumn tints when Penn's barge landed on the site of his future capital. How well he selected the spot is proved by the fact that Philadelphia is today the third largest city in America.

With the enthusiasm of a boy he planned the streets and named them—Broad, Chestnut, Spruce, Pine—for a tract covering 10,000 acres. Regarding him as a visionary, more practical people cut his plans down to 1200 acres, unable to foresee that within two centuries "Philly" would exceed Penn's wildest dreams.

Every house, Penn decreed, should stand in a large yard of its own; every street should be broad and planted with trees.

Although Penn owned the king's grant outright, he conscientiously paid the previous settlers full value for their lands.

More, he bought the land all over again from the Indians, going forth, unarmed, to meet the fiercely painted Susquehannocks, the slant-eyed Shawnees, the stately Lenni Lenape. For 70 years the Quakers and the Indians were to live in harmonyS---a record in the turbulent history of the American frontier.

Penn himself drew up the charter for his colony. Without reference to property or church membership, every adult male was given a vote. Absolute religious freedom was granted to all corners. In an age when English law enumerated 200 offenses for which hanging was the penalty, Penn reduced capital punishment to murder and high treason. Imprisonment for expression of opinion, or for debt, was abolished. There was to be no race discrimination.

Next Penn set up courts. In cases involving an Indian, the jury was to be composed half of red men. A witchcraft case came up, and old European superstition threatened to break out as it was to do in Massachusetts. But when the old woman confessed she was a witch, Penn informed her he know of no law (unless it was gravity) to prevent her from riding through the air on a broomstick, and so blew away the case with a gust of laughter.

Having established freedom of speeph and freedom of worship, Penn worked hard to make possible freedom from want. He toiled ceaselessly to make his colony self-supporting, provident, yet enriched with the best things of life. Industrious, skillful artisans and farmers brought over from the Rhineland helped to make Pennsylvania the most productive colonial state. Shipbuilding, lumbering, milling and the fur trade all made

VESTNIX WEST, TEXAS swift progress.

In no colony was there a finer system of education, One of Penn's first cares was a schoolhouse, and the Penn Charter School still exists today. Penn believed that the poor should receive their education free and that the well-to-do should pay for the schools. Dead languages, rhetoric and memorizing books made bookish men, he claimed. What America needed was manly men, able to do and think for themselves. "It isn't what you leave your children," he insisted, "but how you leave them."

Penn fixed his hopes for humanity, indeed, upon the younger generation. He had 14 children of his own, seven by each of his two wives. With his children, and grandchildren, he delighted to romp, in a way that would have astounded those who knew him only as the grave Quaker or the polished courtier.

Near the present Tullytown, 20 miles north of Philadelphia by barge, Penn built his "beloved manor," Pennsbury, a two-and-a-half-story brick dwelling with fine chimneys and wainscoted walls, set among gardens and shady avenues.

Here Penn hoped to live out his life. But to protect his colony's interests at Court, he had to make protracted stays in England.

Penn never saw Pennsbury after 1701, and his children allowed it to fall into ruins. Not until 1934 did the Pennsylvania Historical Commission begin its restoration. Archaeologists dug up from the soil fireplace tiles and hinges. Every detail of the house and all the plans, Penn had preserved. So that in 1939 the commission opened 'the doors of a "Pennsbury" restored perfectly, though at a cost of $200,000, or about ten times what it cost Penn to build.

Penn's reputation is today achieving a rebirth. Yet his life seemed to end in failure. In England, financial and political difficulties multiplied; his estates were swept from him, for a time he had to go to debtor's prison. During one of his visits, because he had written the exiled James II an innocent letter, he had been accused of treason and escaped prison only by hiding for two years.

It was under these discouraging circumstances that in 1693 Penn, who never despaired of humanity or its capacity for self-government, showed the ultimate flash of his genius. Entitled An Essay Towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe, this document was Penn's unheeded effort to bring to all the world freedom from fear. What he proposed, in simple and noble terms, was in effect a United States of Europe where every nation should agree to submit its disputes to a world court of arbitration, and all nations would promptly unite to

He lived as a recluse among his more than 500 timepieces, but to intimates he would explain the mechanism of his clocks and their historical significance. One he did not explain. He called it "the death clock," and he used to say it had been designed to blow up a palace. It stood in the middle of the room and had never struck 12.

Then the Nazis moved into Czechoslovakia; and four Gestapo men called on the doctor to ask the whereabouts of his son, who had fled the country to continue the fight against the Nazis.

They became interested in his homemuseum and informed him that they intended to transfer it to Berlin.

The old doctor readily agreed and invited the men to come back late that evening, when he promised to give them a detailed account of his collection. The four duly returned, bringing with them two of their superior officers.

A few seconds after midnight, the whole village was shaken by an explosion. Dr. Sedlacek had set his death clock to strike 12.

The old house burned to a shell before the fire brigade could reach it and next morning seven charred bodies were found in the ruins, the old doctor's among them. Nothing was left of his clock collection but blackened springs, frames and fieces of marble—except the face of one grandfather clock, which was almost intact. On it was the inscription: "The hour strikes once for all men."

Prelude To Fame During the Young Ireland disorders of 1848, nine young men were captured, tried and convicted of treason against the Queen. The sentence was death.

The presiding judge read the names of the condemned: "Charles Duffy, Morris Lyene, Patrick Donahue, Thomas McGee, John Mitchell, Thomas Meagher, Richard O'Gorman, Terence McManus, Michael Ireland. Have you anything to say before hte court passes sentence?"

Thomas Meagher had been chosen to speak for them all: "My lord, this is our first offense, but not our last. If you will be easy with us this once, we promise on our word as gentlemen to try to do better the next time. And the next time, sure we won't be fools enought to get caught."

The indignant judge sentenced them to be hanged by the neck. But passionate protest from all over the world forced Queen Victoria to commute the sentence. The men were transported for life to the penal colonies of the then savage Australia.

In 1871, a Sir Charles Duffy was elected prime minister of the Australian state of Victoria. To her amazement, Queen Victoria learned that this was the same Charles Duffy who had been transported for high treason 26 years before. She demanded the records of the other men who had been transported, and this is what she learned: Meagher was governor of Montana. McManus and Donahue were brigadier generals in the U. B. Army. O'Gorman was the governor general of Newfoundland. Morris Lyene had been attorney general of Australia, to which office Michael Ireland succeeded.

McGee was president of the Council for the Dominion of Canada. Mitchell was a prominent New York politician who became the father of the Mitchell who was mayor of New York. ) The trouble with credit is that when a man has it he rarely needs it. ) A •( A nickel may not be as good as a dollar, but it goes to church more often.

ESTNf K — WEST, TEXAS THE CONSTANT LEADER In the last days before the fall of Corregidor, Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright issued one of the most humane Army orders ever given. All of the U. S. Army's remaining radio facilities in the Philippines were to be cleared for the exclusive transmission of life insurance applications to Washington, so that in the event his men were killed they could at least leave $10,000 worth of Government life insurance.

To Col. Royal G. Jenks, Corregidor's finance officer, fell the almost superhuman task of transmitting approximately 30,000 names and serial numbers to Washington. Today, thanks to Wainwright's foresight, hundreds of families of soldiers who were captured on Bataan and Corregidor and later died in Jap prison camps are receiving monthly insurance benefits from the Veterans Administration—The Saturday Evening Post. ) • 4 • ( IF HE WANTS TO DELAY .. .

"Mr. Prospect, if you put off buying today, you will lose a bargain forever. When you wish to wait for some future time to make this important purchase, only one of three things can happen: (1) you will buy later at a higher price; or (2) you will come to a day when you find that money alone is not enough to buy life insurance or (3) your family will have to pay, by going without the things they need, for the life insurance you could have bought for only a few cents a day but didn't.

"There is nothing to be gained, by delay. Never again will life insurance be as cheap for you as it is today, for that is the only thing that is never marked down. It always goes up each year. The time to buy is now." ) e In the railroad terminal of an eastern city, an old lady and a small girl sat knitting side by side. The needles ran swiftly and surely between the old lady's worn fingers, while the little girl, biting her tongue in concentration, was trying to pick up a dropped stitch. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she handed her knitting to the old lady. "I'm in a mess again, Grandma. Please fix it for me."

In no time the knitting was returned to her, all damage repaired. The little girl sighed in admiration. "You know, Grandma," she said, "sometimes I wish I was blind too." ) o •( TO A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZER You may make out fairly well as an insurance man and still spend much time with your family in your home.

REVENGE! A young lady schoolteacher was recently stopped in Detroit for driving through a red light and given a ticket calling for her appearance in Traffic Court the following Monday. She went at once to the judge, told him that she had to be at her classes then, and asked for the immediate dis posal of her case.

"So," said the judge sternly, "you're a schoolteacher. That's fine. Madam, your presence here fulfills a long-standing ambition for me. For years ,I have yearned to have a schoolteacher in this court. Now," he thundered, "you sit right down at that table over there and write 'I went through a Stop sign' 500 times."

The casting aside of one's life insurance is always an injudicious act." eN ) ( UNSUNG SERVICE One of the least known and most useful organizations in the world is celebrating this summer the 75th anniversary of its establishment.

In the summer of 1874, a conference of representatives from all the countries of Europe, the United States, and Egypt was held at Berne, Switzerland for the purpose of establishing universal postal service. Many years ago nations found that agreements on the handling of mail between two countries were inadequate since mail and correspondence is of international character. And so the conference was called which resulted in the creation of the Universal Postal Union in 1874, seventy-five years ago.

On joining hie UPTJ, each nation agrees to forward the mail of all other nations which are members by the best means used for its own mail. In practice the work of the postal union has proved absolutely indispensable for world communication.
