ZIVOT DYZ pied sto lety napsal fruicouzskY spisovatel Honore Bal( zac svuj slavnY roman "Tricetiletit", divali se na Zenu v tomto stali jako na starou; jeji 2ivot byl temer uzavren, jeji sila i energie vyeerpana. A teprve po mnoha a mnoha letech se zaealo hlasit, Ze teprve y e etyriceti letech zaeind opravdovY, zraly a uvedomely Zivot. VYvoj moderniho lekarstvi, zevSeobecneni hygieny, zlepkne 2ivotni pomery a sport pomohly lidskY Zivot prodlouZit — a nejen to, zpitsobily, Ze Clo y & starne pozdeji. Lekari, sociologove a biologove to ted' vyslovili zaeind v padesati letech, dojasne: Zivot ' konce v gedesati nebo seclindesati. I kdy2 telesnych sil mu uZ ubylo dukvne stoji elovekna vrcholu sveho vYvoje.

A ted' se zjiWuje, Ze je to nespravne. Za valky, kdy priunysl potreboval lidi, musel se spokojit i se Aledesati a sedmdesatiletYmi. Zkuknosti s nimi byly velmi dobre.

Antonin Dvoiak. Dne 8. zari roku 1841 narodil se v Nehalozevsi nad Vltavou 'esky genialni hudebni skladatel Antonin Dvorak. PonevadZ finaneni pomery jeho otce, jenZ byl reznikem a hostinskYin, no-

Ve sttedu, dne 7. WI 1949. byly takove, aby talentovanemu synkovi bylo poskytnuto vy ggi hudebni vzdelani, zdalo se na eas, to nezbude nic jineho, net aby se mlady Dvotak vyueil rovnet teznikern a pfe yzal pak po otci tivnost. Na gtesti po opetovane tadosti a upozorneni ueitele prvopoeatku hudby Dvotakovy, na vrozene vlohy jeho, uvolil se strYc Antoninriv Zdenek penetne vypomoci, cot nasledovalo otcovo svoleni, aby Antonin se odebral na hudebni konservatoi do Prahy.

JedenadvacetiletY Dvotak poeal komponovati. Jeho hudba zdala se brati jinYm smerem, nezii skladatelti dosavadnich, proto snad se stala zalay popularni. "Slovanske tance" se roz gitily v Nemecku, byly oblibeny v Anglii a dostaly se i do Ameriky. V tu dobu komponuje Dvotak nekolik obdivuhodnYch skiadeb. Na pozvani odjitdi do Anglie, aby tyto ridil osobne.

Po nekolikere nav gteve Anglie odjitdi s rodinou do Spoj. statU. Zde ztravil Divotak nekolik rokt, av gak pine spokojenosti v cizine nikdy nena gel. Jeho vlastenecka mysl se stale toulala po dornovine, cot bylo ptieinou, to po ease, nemoha se zdrteti dele, vratil se do vlasti k trvalemu pobytu. Na americke pride zrodila se jeho na,dherna symfonie "Z noveho sveta" a jine skladby. Bolest nad Umrtim svych dvou ditek vetkal do skladby "Stabat Mater".

Heydukovy verge "Cikanske Aisne" zhudebnil Dvotak rnistrne. Z nejznamejsi a v Arnerice nejcasteji na rozhlasu zpivana je piseri "Kdyt mne stara, matka zpivati ueila". Rovnet balady z Erbenovy "Kytice" byly jim zhudebneny. Dal gi jeho skladby jsou "Durnky," "V ptirode," "Humoreska," "Z Sumavy," opery "Tvrde pali ce "Rusalka" a jine. Dvotakova hodnotna, tvorba jest jednim ze skvostfr Ceske hudby, prozrazuje zaroveri ciste vlastenecke citeni sklada,telovo. Antonin Dvotak zemtel nahle v Praze dne 1. kvetna 1904.

BayIna stale hlavni plodina v Texasu.

Cena baviny v poslednich ttech letech byla ptes 25 centri libra a spotteba bavlnenYch skaniv se zvyguje. V roku 1920, kdy taktka nebylo urnelYch vlaken, Amerieane spottebovali prumerne na osobu 27 liber baylny, viny a mohairu. Dnegkem spotteba na osobu obna gi 7 liber rayonu, libru a pal jineho umeleho tkaniva — a 33 liber baviny, viny a mohairu. Bavina znamena vice net pouhe vlakno, jelikot z katdeho zoku vlakna distal/ tu 900 liber semena a z teto vahy semena vyrobi se 423 liber moueky a dosti oleje k vYrobe 202 liber oleomargarinu, Clili skoro stejne mnotstvi masloveho tuku jako parmerna dojinice.

Naproti tomu celkove vzato vYnos baviny ye Spoj. sta,tech postoupil o 31 procent. V roku 1935 prUmerny vYnos baviny po akru byl 151.6 libry; nejmengi v tom fidoloi byl v roku 1922, kdy obnagel 101 libru a dal gi malt' v roku 1929 byl 112 Tiber. V roku 1947 nejvy ggi dosahoval 198 liebr po akru. Jsou dve testy vedouci ku zvYgeni vYnosu rol. a to: zvY geni -Orody po akru a sniteni vYloh s obdelanim frrody. JistY okresni zemedelskY agent vyslovil se nedayno: "Na gi texagti farmati patrne snatili se o zvY geni produkce bavlny na mute netli zvy geni firody po akru.

Pokud mohou tak farmatit s nizkYm vydanim a delati penize, je marnosti jim domlouvati". ACkoli v Texasu vYnos bavlny po akru se men gi, zUstavaji tu nektere jasnej gi ukazy. Prfunerna sklizeri v okresich Cameron, Willacy a Hidalgo obna gela v letech 1928-37 asi 176 liber po akru; v letech 1937-46 poskoeila na 250 liber po akru, eili vYnos se zvY gil 0 42 procent.

Pcieet eistiren baviny v Texasu klesa; v roce 1907 jich bylo 4,301, v roce 1948 uz jen 2,427 a z tohoto poetu 460 dtin zahalelo.

Dne 9. zati 1912 zemtel Jaroslav VrchlickY a jeho portstatky odpoCivaji na pratskam Slavine. Jeho smrt, easove tak vzdalena, vyvolava piece jen vzpominku na pozdni letni den, kdy v Oechach i detem bylo zvestovano, to ode gel nejvetgi narodni basink. aim byl eeskemu narodu? Nebyl zcela rozhodne jeho zamernym duchovnim vflcem. Na to byl at ptili g basnikem, na to at pkilig pteletave patral sam na v gechny strany po v gech radostech tivota, nestaraje se valne o celek, protote mu slouzil net jini einitele politikou vgedniho dne. Nepattil jit kte generaci narodnich buditelt. Pti gel v dobe, kdy oeskY jazyk byl jit rozvinut jejich praci, a jeho frkolem bylo dovr git jeho tehdejgi rozvoj. Byi vgak duchovnim obroditelem eeskeho naroda a tudit duchovnim vildcem ye vYsostnejAim smyslu. Zatim co jeSte nekolik let pied nim Ceska, lyrika se spige jen bazlive vinula a potriekovite kudrlinkovala po luzich, na nicht se prochazely Miny, on jako novY Mojti g udefil do skaly, aby z ni vytryskly ne potileky, ale kaskady a vodopady, jet bohate chrlily, co dtive jen tence creelo. Kde se dtive rozdavaly krejcary, tam zaeal hazet zlatkami, nedbaje, ktera kam padne, kdo kterou chyti. V pozdej gich desitkach jeh6 tivota, kdy ut dilo rostlo pies hlavu jemu i tasnoucim vrstevnikrim, zaealo se mluvit o papirove pyramide.

NebYt to v dobe, kdy podobne vYrazy je gte byly temet neznamy, bylo by se jit tehdy misto o papirove pyrarraide mluvilo o papirove inflaci. Je pravda, to v tivotnirn dile Vrchlickeho zrno neni oddeleno od plev ate parmernY etenat, sedici nad tucty svazkft, sotva se dobere toho, co je v dile Vrchlickeho nepomijejici. Ale co znarnena toto v gechno proti tivelne site, jet toto dilo vyvrcholilo, a co to znamena, zejmena u srovnani s tim, to VrchlickY, jako nikdo pied nim, provedl duchovni pteorientovani eeskaho vzdelanstva.

Kdy'l se dne 8. zati 1841 narodil v Nelahozevsi nad Vltavou, tithe proste obci nedaleko Kralup, Franti gku Dvotakovi, hostinskemu a kezniku, prvni syn Antonin, nikdo netugil, ze po stu letech bude jeho narozenin vzpominano po celern vzdelanem svete a le ye vkch dilech sveta budou hrany jeho skladby. U Antonina ul po 12. roce propukla va gniva, laska k hudby, jen byla mu nezbytnYm livlem al do smrti. Jako ryba nembfle Zit bez vody, tak Dvotak nemohl ziti bez hudby. K tomu zahy se ptipojila eeska selska, houlevna-

Strana 9 tost, s kterou se to hudby dovedi dr2eti a s nil dovedl pracovati pies vAecky pfekalky.. Otec chtel miti z neho keznika, nebot' tato Zivnost dedila se ji2 po nekolik pokoleni ye Dvotakovskem rode s otce na syna. Ale Antonin pfece jen docilil toho, le otec svolil, aby se syn venoval hudbe, a tak v tijnu 1857 vstoupil na varhanickou gkolu v Praze. Po vyjiti gkoly livil se jako violista v restaura,Oni kapele Komzakove, ktera pak stala se orkestrem Prozatimniho divadla v Praze. Vydelaval 18 zlatYch mesiene, ale p11 tom doma pfes deset let usta-viene skladal, ania by co` z toho bylo vetejne provedeno. Bylo k tomu pottebi jiste rilasne vnitrni sily a sebedrivery ye vlastni nadani, aby vytrval na 'Leto draze.

Kdy2 se v Praze 30. kvetna 1866 poprve davala Smetanova "Prodana nevesta", Dvotak hral v divadelnim orkestru prvni violu. Sam musil eekati je gte sedm let, nee se na neho 8testena pousmala.

Prvnim velkym triumfem Dvof akovSim bylo provedeni jeho "Hymnu" pro smilenY sbor a orkestr na zavereene sloky basne Viterslava Halka, "Dedicove Bile Hory" na koncerte pra2skeho peveckeho spolku "Hlahol" dne 9. btezna 1873 pod lizenim jeho davneho piltele Karla Bendla. Dne 17. listopadu tehol roku pojal za manklku altistku v opernim sboru Prozatimniho divadla Annu Cermakovou a aby se mohl Upine venovati skladatelstvi, opustil divadelni orkestr a stal se varhanikem kostele sv. Vojtecha na Novem Mesta v Praze. Stradal dale, al pojednou roku 1875 se stay jeho zlepsil. Podal si sadost za statni nadaci, kterou rakouska vlada udelovala "mladYm, chudYm a nadanYm umelcrim" v eastce 400 zlatYch — a dostal ji, dokonce pet let za sebou. V porote zasedal hudebni kritik videriskY dr. Ed. Hanslick, teditel dvorni opery Herbeck a slavnY nemecky skladatel Johannes Brahms. A nyni zivotni beh Dvotakil y zasluhou Brahmsovou rychle se blilil k velkemu obratu.

Dvotak napsal rozko gne "Morayske dvojzpevy" pro Zenske hlasy, roku 1877 Brahms dostal je do rukou a napsal svemu nakladateli Simrockovi v Berline: Pfehrajete-li si je, budete jako ja, miti z nich radost. Dvorak je velmi talentovanY elovek. Mimo to thud'! Prosim, byste o tom uvaloval. Tento kratkY dopis rozhodl Dvotakriv osud. Simrock ptijal "Morayske dvojzpevy" do nakladu a vy2adal si od neho dalgi dilo. Byla to prvni tada "SlovanskYch -Lanai" pro klavir na etyki race. Dvorak je napsal mezi 18. breznem a 7. kvetnern 1878, a Fritz Simrock vydal je v srpnu tehol roku. Toto dilo, osm ta,nctl, pinYch zdrave, untimne a jisktive radosti, udinilo Dvotaka pies noc svetoznamYin skladatelem. Dodnes ustaviene se hraji po celem svete a svelesti jejich neubYva a nikdy neubude.

Vicksburg jest mesto ve statu Mississippi a rozklada se na v9S1nach zvan9ch Walnut Hills, na v9chodnim bfehu americkeho veletoku. Mesto bylo se vgech stran tak opevneno, ze pravem naz9vano bylo americk9m Gibraltarem a zku geni valeonici vladni pochybovali, ze pokus o jeho dobyti korunovan bude Uspechem. Gen. Grant, ktery zmocnil se pevnosti Doneldson a dovedl poraziti armad y Beauregardovu u Shiloh, uminil si pokusiti se tel o dobyti Vicksburgu. Jemu na pomoc pfiplouti mel admiral Farragut se sv9m lod'stvem; dne 7. kvetna (1862) dobyto jest sidelni mesto statu Loui siana, Baton Rouge, naee2 Farragut ptiplul a2 k Vicksburgu a udra)val spojeni s lod'stvern ,nalezajicim se nad jmenovan9m mestem.

Jakmile "beran" tento objevil se na tece, vyplul proti nemu Com. Porter s valeenou lodi Essex, ktera provazena byla lod'mi Cayuga a Sumter.

Neptatelske lode srazily se asi deset mil nad Baton Rouge a Arkansas, od ktere byli Jihane tolik oeekavali, byla velice poSkozena; posleze vybuchl na ni prach a zbytky "berana" zmizely pod hladinou vodni.

Schofield, zanechav v Missouri gen.

Curtise, vytrhl proti Hindmanovi. Na Jihany udeteno bylo bli2e pohoti Ozark a ve Fort Wayne bliZe Marysville. Jeden sbor jizdy pod gen. Herronem ptepadl nekolik rebelsk9ch sborri na fece White a zahnal je do hor. Kratce po techto uddlostech Schofield nasledkem chatrneho zdravi byl nucen sluthy se vzdati a veleni po nem pfevzal general Blunt.

Hindman chtel jests jednou pokusiti se o vypuzeni Unionistri z Arkansasu a sebray asi dvacet tisic dobrovolnikri na padnich hranicich jrnenovaneho statu, vytrhl proti Bluntovi. Tento povolal si na pomoc gen. Herrona ze statu Missouri a neptatelska vojska srazila se v krvavem boji bliZe dediny Prairie Grove; konfederate byli na hlavu poraIeni a v nejvetgim zmatku prchli do hor.

V to same dobe krajiny Mize Mexickeho • zapadne od Mississippi staly se dejigtem dosti drilait9ch uddlosti. Texas nalezal se v moci Konfederace a v kvetnu r. 1862 objevil se Earley s vladnim lod'stvem pied sam9m Galvestonem a 'Z'adal, aby mu mesto bylo vydano.

Aby sama jej libala, to ji nenapadlo.

Polibky Emanovy ji ukajely. V jeho probouzela se k novemu, radostnejg imu ranu, poznavala, ze Zivot ma jegte jinY lic, nejen samou starost, praci a lopotu.

"Dost, dost, udusi g me," povidala po chvili jako ze sna. "Emane, povez mi, man me opravdu tak red?"

"Jeate se pta g ? Nemohu bez tebe klidne bYt Ziv, Vinco, musi g si me vzit, takhle nebudu se skrYvat."

"A smim si to vzit?"

"Prot bys nemohla? Co pak nejsme oba svobodni?"

"Ale co tomu tekne otec? Vii, ze chce, abys hodne vyZenil, protole se on bude Zenit taky."

"A jak to vii?"

Nevedela hned, jakou by dala odpoved' ptece strYci slibila, ze nikdo se nieeho od ni nedovi.

"Jak to vim? DomYg lim se. Vii, ze maji Zenske lepg i oei ne2 vy mufti. Uhlideg , ze se oleni. A dve hospodyne v jednom staveni byt nemohou."

"Snad by tatinek neblaznil," tekl Eman nevrle. "A udeld-li to ptec, takovou hospodyni, aby mohla celY clUm vest, si piece nevezme. Na to musi bYt colada, silnd, prieinliva, jako jsi ty."

"Jen se tolik netek Ja strYekovi preji, at' si vezme, co se mu libi a co chce, ale ty ted' music ptemYSlet, co by se stain, kdyby se s mladou Zenou olenil a tobe statek popustit nechtel. Bud' bys musil eekat, nebo bys musil odejit. Ja budu eekat rada, tteba deset let budu eekat, aZ se budeme moci vzit. A nic proto natikat nebudu. bychom se videli, jeden druhemu vetime."

"Ale ja, nechci &kat." prohlasil rozhodne Eman. "Mne to bude dlouho i do podzima. Bud' mi tatinek slibi, ze si to budu moci vzit a doma distat, tteba by chtel hospodatit, nebo budu chtit svtij podil. Za ty penize snadno si chalupu koupime. A kdyZ, Vinco, budeme tak pracovat, jako tu pracujeme, hladu nebude. Bah nem polehna a budeme At'astni fzeknu to otci, a jak mi odpovi, budu jednat."

Vinca poslouchala ho s tichou rozkoM. Ale pojednou si vzpomnela, ze snad sedlak, az uslyii, koho si zamilovala, pohani ji, postavi se na odpor a bude ze vzdoru se branit. Emanovi neuveti, ze sam: dal k tomu vaemu poeatek a ji bude podezkivati z riskokti.

"CoZ, nebylo by lepe, abych mu to sama, reklar nabizela se bazlive, "Ty jsi

prudk3i a ngtbfIela se bazlive. "Ty jsi prudkY a nadarmo byste se pohadali.

Ted', ye vaedni dny, kdy je tolik prate, nevi na nee() takoveho pomY g leni, ale v nedeli bych s nirn gla na ranni, a aZ vy byste na velkou odesli, poprosila bych ho, aby nem dovolil se vzit."

"Vidig, dobte me g ," souhlasil Eman radostne. "Ty piece jen to lepe umis, mas vet gi kura a na tebe tatinek vice drZi ne2 na mne. Pravda, do nedele je dlouho, ale jaka pomoc, eekat musime. Ale to ti povidam, kaaleho dne muslin s tebou chvili mluvit, site bych to nevydrZel." "V2clyt' vii, ze ti nebranim," ?ekla inekce a kolem krku jej objav gi, sama jej polibila. Dost, uz ti nedovolim nic.

Deveeka nebo tatinek by na Jas mohli Jdi naprecl, ja tu chvili poekain a potom pcijdu za tebou. A bud' opatroy, nic neprozrad'. Vii, ze se jeclna o v gechnu nail budoucnost:" Nemohla se ubranit, aby ji je gte jednou nezlibal; potom poslu gne odchkel. Ona o strom se podeptev gi, divala se za Slastno j bylo a piece stale jaksitajnY zlozvuk ji kalil radostnou piscri lasky.

Jak bude v nedeli? Co tekne strYc? Jak se rozhodne?

Po celY tYden Zila ye stalem horeenem napjeti. Eman, rozharan prvnimi zachvaty sve lasky, blizil se k ni pies chvili, i musila vynaloZit veikerou 'Zenskou vynalezavost, aby ho zdrZela od nerozvaZnYch kouska. Povolila mu schtzky, ale dovedla je skrYt a tak zkratit, ze nikdo nic netuiil. Horoucne si ptala, aby uz byla nedele a prinesla ureite rozhodnuti.

Koneene se piece d,oekala. Rano chvatn. viecko zatidila a potom se chystala do kostela.

"Ty piljdeg na ranni?" divil se sedlak.

"Ano, strYoku. Kaeena mute jit s Emanem na velkou. Rada bych, abychom se viichni vystridali, proto, ze moZna budouci nedeli odpoledne budeme vazat."

"Moina, moZna," souhlasil jaksi ochotne. "Tak si pospek abys mne dohonila."

TYar se muvy jasnila. Stale se v nem utrzovalo ptesvedeeni, ze Vinca avail° rozhodnuti nezmeni. Ale dneini jeji vrh znovu v nem vzbudil nadeji; chce a nim bYt sama doma, Mei mu, ze udela, jak si pfeje, a proto odstrariuje ostatni.

Chytra je to holka.

Vesele vygel yen a zvolna ubiral se ke kostelu ohliZeje se, brzo-li za nirn ptijde.

Mohl by se hned na ceste zeptat, a tekne-li mu, ze proti tomu nenamita., do hospody by ji zavedl na trochu sladkeho vina. Koneene ji spatril ptiehazet, ale zamrzelo jej, ze jde se selkou Pigtekovou.

Taky ji mohla ptedejit. Uklidnil se viak a poekal na ne. Vesele celou cestu hovotil smal se a, Zertoval.

Ve stredu, dne 7. zari 1949.

V kostele byla jako na. trni a hned jak vychazel, oeima ji hledal. A zas se zamraeil. DrZela se Pi g teeky a s ni zase gla da vsi. Bylo mu podivno, ze se vyhYba jeho pohledu, ze je vaZna a odpovida jako z myglenek. Nepokoj a nedoekavost jim lomcovaly a doma netrpelive eekal, Eman s deveekou odejde. Zdelo se mu, kcly2 Eman ocichazel ze Vinca schvalne za nim vy gla a neco mu povidala.

Ted' 0 ode g li, a Vinca se vraci do svet nice. Jde zvolna, del klopi a div do plaee se neda. Co je ji? Stydi se? MoZna.. No, doda ji kuraZe. "Co je ti, holka?" nutil se do "Kouka g smutne, jako by to negtesti poLkalo. Nema g nee° na srdci?"

"Mam, strYekti," kekla tige.

"Jen s tim ven. Jake strachy. Jsme sami, a me zna g, ze nejsem bubak. Chcei se vdavat?"

"Ano," vydechla chvatne a citila, jak uz dostava odvahu a mute se na strYce podivat. Ale sotva se a jeho pohledem setkala, nove leknuti! StrYc Zatil rad°, sti; vzpomnela si, ze minulou nedeli, davaje ji tYden na rozmY glenou, tekl, sam o tom nezaene, aby ona, bude-li souhlasit mu pove.dela. Dojista ted' se domYgli, ze mu pti gla dat svoleni oznamit. Napadlo ji, ze snad ji zase bude domlbuvat, a proto rychle ucouvia a ruce sepj ala.

"Prosim yes, strYeku, dovolte, aby si mne Eman smel vzit," zvolala chvatne.

"Jakle Emana si chcei vzit?" ptal se sedlak a giroko cei otevrel. Vinca stela jako aocha, nespou gtejic s neho oei.

"Tedy Emana," pbvidal po chvili, jako by se probouzel. "Vida, kdo by to byl tekl!"

Dosud nebylo na nem zne.t ani hnevu, ani radosti. Nenadala zpra,va neinkovala dosud na jeho mysl, ze nemohl nieim jinVin se zabYvat. Ale 0 se mrak jeho yedomi ptikrYvajici trhal a vracel se zvolna k ,svYm vlastnim myglenkam.

"Ja to sama, strYeku, nevedela, ze se mame radi," vysvetlovala Vinca, povzbuzena tim, ze strYc je takovY mirnY. "AZ ten hie tYden jsme si to rekli. Prosim vas, nebrarite nem. Ja, vain za to budu do smrti slouZit jako deveeka, a kdybyste nevim co chtel, v gecko vain udelam."

"Tohle je novina," zakroutil ted' hlayou a pa prize asme gek ukozal se na jeho tvari. "Jsi ty holka chytra. Does mi mela jak se rozhodla a ptinese mi novinu, ze si zatim namluvila Emana. Pospig ila jsi si kaktaholtsky, jen co je pravda. KaZda by to tak za kratkV eas nedokazala."

Rozesmal se ugtepaene.

"Ja nic nedelala," branila se uclegena, poeinajic chapati, co strYc iici chtel.

"Pantato, co to mluvite!" vykrikla pronikave. Zbledla, vztyella se a at se ji rozhoreenim zasvitily. "Dokake mi tu nejmeng i nepravost, a ja ptijdu je gte dues odtud."

"No, no, mluvime jen mezi etyrma.

Mluvil Useene, velitelsky.

"Vklyt' bych yarn tu nepreka2e1a," namitla tichounce.

"To je mi jedno," odbyl ji ostre. "Vig, 2e jsem s tebou mel jine Umysly, ty jsi vgak hlavu postavila. We, co jsi nadrobila, snez si. A je-li Eman tak hloupY, 2e nerczyd2i, learn speje, at' trpi s tebou. vas z domu jako 2ebralcy nepropustim.

aby se dal gimu hovoru vyhnul. Vinca z hluboka vzdychla a. usednuv gi na lavici, premitala o tom, co vyslechla.

StrYc hovoril t yrde, hnevive, ale nic jineho nemohla oeekavat. Chce sam dejit Stesti a prod by Stesti jeji kladl \TS/Se ne2 sve? Emana odbYva peknou pomoci, s kterou by se dostal do radneho mista.

Jeho chyba vlastni to bude, kdy2 si ji, Vincu, vezme. Nebylo by lope, kdyby ted' ode g la a zarnezila rortr2ku mezi synem i otcem?

Vgecka vzrugena a odhodlana vstavala, aby sve povinnosti konala a hotova byla, ne2 •prijde Eman z kostela.

Prig el brzy, jsa dychtiv, jak to doma dopadlo. Otec se dosud nevratil, a Vinca mu kratce oznarnila vYsledek rozmluvy.

"Emane, rozmysli si to,"' pavidala na konec vaZne. "Jcli a promluv s oteem. A ja ti slibuji, 2e kcty2 jinak se rozbodnek ani jedineho vyeitaveho slova nepronesu.

Poslouchal ji, maje hlavu sklopenou a eel() lehce svra gteno. Jak se na nej divala; Uzkost ji pojala, 2e snad opravdu poeina vahat. Ucouvla tichounce, en vgak upozornen jejim pohybem, rychle po ruku vztahl.

"Neodchdzej," povidal ti ge, a trpkY jeho vYraz zmekl. "Citim, 2e budu s tebou g t'asten. Ale talc mi hlavou 4prob1esk1o, jakeho to otce mam."

"Emane, nehnevej se nan," prosila upokojena, jeho vysvetlenim. "Jdi k nemu, promluv s nim, a at' ujednate cokoliv, budu spokojena i tim, budete-li abych odegla."

Pritahl ji k soh& a polibil ji dlouze na obe oei ve kterYch se zatrpytily slzy. Potorn 'mleky vstal a vySel ven, hledat atce. Za tu kratkou Watt jakoby dukvne vyspel a byl si vedom, co jest jeho povinnosti.

"Kdo ti brani?" vyjel si sedlak, vSeeek se ziosti zardivaje. "Rekl jsem ji u2, ze proti tomu nic nemarn, 2e se mil2ete vzit.

Ernan zbledl a smutne dival se na rozeileneho otce. Pripadal mu ku podivu cizi. Jako by ficta a laska k nemu se z jeho srdce vytracela. Prot takhle mluvi tyrde a ptikte? "aim jsem yam, tatinku, tolik 2e se tak zlobite a me od sebe odkopavate?" ptal se bez hotkosti. "Je snad Vinca tak Spatna holka, 2e me chcete z domova vyhnat?"

"Kdo to vyhani?" odpovidal sedlak zvolna ptemahaje vYbuch sveho hnevu.

"Ty jsi se neptal, smiS-li se knit a jsemli ochoten hospoddilstvi ti popustit. Byl bych ti rekl, 2e se napred budu zenit ja!

"Neboj se, co jsem jednou rekl, to uclelam, a penize dostane g hued o svatbe.'?

Seminar in Fraternalism. . .

Let me first explain the meaning of the word "seminar." It is a group of students, usually graduate or advanced, who are engaged in original research in a particular study and who meet together to discuss the results of their studies by lectures or written theses, all under the guidance of a professor.

On Monday, August 29th, I had the opportunity to witness a meeting which pretty closely approached the atmosphere of a seminar, a class held by a group of students for a particular discussion. It was the meeting of the SPJST organizers held at Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88.

A few days before the meeting, Brother Ed L. Marek, president of the Supreme Lodge, sent me an invitation asking me to be present, if possible. To be sincere, I expected the same routine procedure as we used to have several years back when the organizers' meetings were held.

I admit that I was somewhat skeptical and expected the same old talk and more talk to "pep up" the field workers: It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the meeting was conducted on a much higher level of preparation, much more like a seminar of seriously-minded advanced students who try to get all they can from a well-presented lecture.

The meeting was to start promptly at 7:00 PM, and it was only a few minutes delay when Brother Marek assumed the role of an "instructor." The blackboard was there, his notes were ready, and the "class" of some fifteen "students" was all set to benefit by the lecture. In fact, I almost felt it was just another university class, which was meeting this time in another room.

One hour and thirty minutes of instructions, then a little break of only a few minutes; and again more instructions and an occasional question until eleven o'clock. Really well spent three and one-half hours in problems dealing with fraternalism, fraternal insurance, and the service which our SPJST offers.

The lecture was fairly evenly divided between Brother Marek and Brother

chairman of the Publication Committee, expressed his opinion somewhat differently when I voiced my disillusion about the absence of contributors: "They have to be won by your unrelenting effort. You cannot expect miracles within a few weeks. Look at those contributors in the Czech Section. Some of them have been writing for years and years. They acquire the habit of writing. When the contributors for the English Section find that their thoughts and literary efforts are appreciated, they will be glad to write."

At any rate, we shall try to give you We shall come back to the report of what you deserve. And by "we" is the meeting to show the readers the meant your associate editor, your editor, good features and the possible results and your publisher. from it.

4 ) Chupick, secretary of the Supreme Lodge.

Both of them explained that the meetings, similar to the one held at Lodge No. 88, are usually held much longer during the day, and that only in Houston the meeting was decided on to be made much shorter, to accommodate the city workers. However, the short meeting had its advantage. The instructions and explanations were condensed, wellarranged, to the point, and there was none of the idle talk from the listeners to interrupt the speakers, none of the ego-references and so-called personal experiences.

• • (‘ To Improve the English Section

Associate editor had the opportunity to exchange a few words with our supreme secretary, Brother John F. Chupick, regarding the material in the English Section. His comment was favorable, but he was also sincere in making one observation: The English Section should reflect more what our ,Lodges, our members, and our organization is doing. In other words, it was his opinion which he had also heard elsewhere that our English Section should stress fraternalism above all. Otherwise, the VestMk could be called just another weekly paper.

This is Not a Gift The Government is preparing to distribute to veterans of the recent war who carried GI insurance approximately $2,800,000,000, which should prove a decided aid to business generally. Unfortunately the administration is also trying to convey the impression that this is some kind of a "gift" made possible by the astute financing of the Federal agency handling the wartime insurance.

As a matter of fact, all that the distribution of money indicates is that the veterans were overcharged for their insurance and are receiving not a gift nor a dividend but a return of the excess payments. That the distribution of cash will give business a "shot in the arm" there is no question, and that the vetThis sincere expression of Brother erans are fortunate in having this amount Chupick is truly appreciated.

We and our children have spent a great deal of time g the history of the 'United States. We have spent a great deal .of time reacting the history of the prominent men of our country, be they great statesmen or powerful men of industry. But the great rank and file of the American children have not heard the history of farmers and workers They have he ,-rd of the battle Gettysburg. They have heard of the battle of Bunker Hill. They have read about the battles of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. But they have never really studied the great strivings and the great desires of the American people, the little people who were the buttress, of the country, who were the workers, the people who literally slaved.

In the vast number of public schools children who are sooner or later going in be fan:toyed fOctoriee, have literally never heard a comprehensive lecture about a labor imicn. And if they beard anythilag, it was not bused on facts but on the basis of Opinion and rumor.

We, Texans, down in the deep South, are even less interested in the social and economic history .of the United States. We, in Texas, have been removed from the struggle of the working people.

I wonder how many of our people, our SPJST members, know, for example, what has happened to coal:- miners, what has happened down in the pits of those mines. Brother Vaja, of Fairbanks, might tell, or Brother Malik, of Placedo.'How many of our children can remember the shooting down of workers in this country? Shooting down, why?

Because they wanted shorter working hours. How many remember the hanging of innocent people with the Haymarket riotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Chicago, 1886â&#x20AC;&#x201D;innocent people who were never even near the scene of the crime.

Labor organizations have existed in one form or another throughout our history. They have their antecedents in the guilds and friendly societies of England and the European continent.

But these early organizations were small, local, and merely incidental to an economy that was largely :agricultural. For generations of our colonial hlstory and the earlrhistory of our Republic there was comparatively little need for unions.

The modern type of unions is a result of the change from agriculture aizd the

handicraft to modern factories and corporations.

The first unions were the shoemakers in Philadelphia, organized in 1792, and the printers of New York, organized in 1794. ( During the period immediately before ! and after the turn of the nineteenth century, shipbuilders, printers, shoemakers, and tailors formed unions and went on strike for wage increases. On the other hand, the employers formed associations to obtain non-union labor by the ruling of the courts. In those days it was unlawful to form "a combination of workers to raise their wages."

The attitude of the courts was hostile to all labor organizations and remained unchallenged until, in 1842, the highest court of the State of Massachusetts declared that a strike of workers for better conditions was lawful, and not a criminal conspiracy.

The first nation-wide organization of trade unions was formed in 1834. Its main objective was to secure the 10hour working day. However, this movement, failed to survive. It fell to pieces '11e panic ,ot 1837.

The growth of the railro2(6. and the widening of the competitive market beyond the limits of a single city or State, together with the development of American industry in the 1850's and the Civil War, favored the organization and continued existence of the national union in the various crafts of the day. The printers formed the National Typographical Union in 1850; the stonecutters' local formed a national union in 1853; the hat finishers in 1854; and the molders, machinists, and puddlers in 1859. Particular impetus to union organization was given by the rapid rise in retail prices during the Civil War in the face of lagging wages. In the years 1861-72, 26 new national unions were formed.

Impressed by the increased output of commodities made possible by the use of machinery, tradeunions began to give more attention to the problem of securing the 8-hour day in order that the workers might be able to enjoy the benefits of a higher standard of living. The National Dabor Union, established in 1866, pressed for an 8-hour day for Federal employees in the hope that such a law would make it easier to obtain an 8-hour day elsewhere. The Congress enacted an 8-hour day for Federal employees in 1868; and in 1872, President Grant prohibited by ;proclamation any wage decreases in putting the law into effect.

However, the 8-hour day for workers in industry remained to be achieved at a later period.

The Knights of Labor represented the

Ve stiedu, due 7. zdfi 1 first large-scale labor organization in America, whose membership at the peak exceeded 700,000 workers. The early history of the Knights of Labor reflects an interest in social reforms, rather than in immediate gains in wages and hours.

In the depression years of the 1870's there was much unemployment and destitution among the anthracite-coal miners of Pennsylvania. The strike of 1874 and 1875 against a wage cut ended in defeat and the dissolution of the mine workers' union, the Workingmen's Benevolent Association. A number of miners refused to go back to work and resorted to violence against mine owners in answer to wage reductions and discharges for union activity. The employers hired a Pinkerton spy to obtain information as to the activities of the "Molly Maguires," as the workers' group was known. Eventually 24 "Molly Maguires" were convicted and 10 were executed for murder. The episode indicates the extremes to which workers have been driven in the past in order to resist injustice.

The great railroad strikes of 1877 were brought on b y continued wage reductions in the midst of depression conditions. Practically every time we have trouble pertaining to workers, there is. a depression. The Vain, humble folk of this land, the farmers and the workers, are the first to feel the impact of the panics and all the depressions.

State and Federal troops were called out to suppress the strikes, which extended from Pennsylvania to San Franciscq. A permanent consequence of those strikes was the enactment of conspiracy laws, the hostility of the courts to labor, the demand for additional armories, and the reorganization of the militia; the latter arising out of the fact that, in many instances, the militia could not be relied upon to fire upon the strikeru---their own neighbors.

With the revival of business in 1879, the national unions, such as the molders, the locomotive engineers, the bricklayers and masons, and the railway conductors, looked toward the formation of a federation of trade-unions which would concern itself with pure trade-unionism based on wage-and-hour consciousness.

Its primary objective would be the furtherance of trade-union agreements designed to obtain immediate economic benefits for the membership. Its methods would be those of collective bargaining, and when they failed the methods would be the strike, boycott, and picket line. The far-flung political and social activities of the Knight of Labor were regarded as detrimental to the interests of the craft-conscious worker. In order to achieve these objectives, the American

"More than $10,000,000 worth of construction will be under way when work on the dormitories begins, including the Ezekiel Cullen Building, $4,000,000; the central heating and cooling plant, $1,000,000; the M. D. Anderson library, $1,500,000; ground improvements, $75,000."

Whenever I had the pleasure to show to our SPJST members the colored film of the Czech Club, I usually added to the same reel the film which I took during one of the graduation exercises showing the procession of the entire number of professors wearing their academic gowns, caps, and hoods. Invariably there is an expression of amazement about the size of the school, reflected in the number of professors, the beauty of the campus, and the immensity of the buildings. The airconditioning of all permanent buildings on the campus sounds almost unbelievable, but it certainly adds to the comfort of the students.

Skrivanek to Speak At Meeting Dr. John M. Skrivanek, chairman of the Slavonic languages department, will speak before the sixth annual convention of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European languages convening at the University of California and Stanford university September 6-11.

The title of Doctor Skrivanek's speech will be "The Status of Slavonic Studies in Texas."

Professor Cleg Maslenikov, president of. the Slavonic language organization, will deliver the opening address on Sept.

6. University professors from throughout the nation will attend the convention.

Dr. Skrivanek, in his speech before the convention, will compare the teachings of languages in the United States with those of Czechoslovakia.

The Slavonic language department at the University, which Dr. Skrivanek heads, is comparatively new. Thus far, students have advanced to second year Russian and Czech with advanced courses probably to be offered this coming spring.

Martin Danchak One of Burleson County's oldest citizens died at his home at Lyons Sunday, August 21, 1949 at 10:00 AM, when death overtook Martin Danchak, resident of Lyons for 62 years. He was born in.

Moravia, Czechoslovakia, January 6, 1867 and came to America at the age of twelve, first living in Austin County with his parents and moving to Lyons at the age of twenty. At the age of twenty-six he married Miss Annie Fojt, of Snook; she died three years later, leaving a son, Ed Danchak, three months of age. At the age of 32 he married Miss Annie Nedbalek of Merle, who survives him. They had eight children, seven of whom survive: six sons, Steve, of Galveston; Reuben, Joe, Bill and Leon all of Pearsall; two daughters, Mrs. Arthur Peiser and Mrs. Verno Blomquist, both of Austin.

His oldest son, Ed Danchak, of Houston; fifteen grandchildren and two sisters: Mrs. Albert Schultz of Lyons and Mrs. Adolph Schumacher of Somerville. He was a member of Lyons Evangelical and Reformed church, and funeral services were held in the church, with Rev. Clifton J. Freudenberg, assistant pastor, officiating, assisted by Rev. H. E. Beseda, pastor Czech-Moravian Brethren church, Caldwell. Funeral was under directions of Woods Funeral Home, with the following pallbearers, all of Lyons: Raymond Schoppe, Albert Earl Schoppe, Marvin Murray, Willie Smith, Arthur Bates and Cecil Matejowsky.

Mr. Danchak gave his life to merchantile and bookkeeping work. He was an excellent musician, and played in several orchestras; he organized several bands, which he directed. His health had been very poor for about four years and he spent most of his last year in a wheel chair. Burial was in the church cemetery at Lyons. )

More of Our University Graduates A record of 748 students graduated at the end of summer term at the University of Houston, August 30, is impressive.

Glancing over the list of the graduates, I spotted sixteen names of definitely Czech origin. Thirteen of them received bachelor's degrees, designating four or more years of study, and three of them were honored with master's degrees, an academic degree ranking above bachelor and below doctor.

Arranged alphabetically, the list is as follows: Becica, Laura M.; Brodsky, Leo; Cesak,

Henry Charles Ripple received his master's in education. At the same time his wife, Elda Sefcik Ripple, was awarded her bachelor of science degree. They are east of Houston.

Mrs. Hermina Trlica Lehman is daughter of Brother John Trlica, of Granger.

Brother John W. Kolaja has been teaching for a number of years in Fort Bend County. His brother Thomas, Jr., served as secretary of Lodge Laskavost No. 70 for several terms until the lodge merged with Lodge No. 81, at Needville.

This is very creditable record for summer term, sixteen Czech graduates, from the Nation's most rapidly growing university. Our sincere congratulations to every one of them. )• •(

When you think of the beautiful flowers in Spring, you think of the gay fluttering butterflies. You will see them in our play also—they number in four, Andrea Vodehnal, who does a beautiful butterfly dance, Mary Louise Kadlecek, Billie Jean Rezek, and Gwendolyn Schutte. When Spring is crowned queen, the Moon and stars journey through the sky down to earth for the coronation.

Not long ago Science Digest reported the case of a 19-year-old, of sub-normal intelligence, whom psychologists had studied for a period of years. If the boy is told your birth date, he can instantly respond with the day of the week upon which it fell, whether it happened 10, 20, or 80 years ago. He can spell backward or forward, but is completely ignorant of word meanings. He can recite the Gettysborg Address accurately, but doesn't know the precise meaning of a single sentence.

This same sub-normal youth can take a telephone message accurately but cannot make a simple decision. He can play the piano by ear after listening to the melody once or twice. Despite this accomplishment, which seems to lift him out of the moron ranks, psychologists insist he is sub-normal of the idiot savant category.

In a report published in Psychological Monographs, Bernardine G. Schmidt recorded the conclusions of her study made of 254 boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 14, all classified as feebleminded on the basis of clinical intelligence tests. Their IQs ranged between 27 and 69.

Miss Schmidt followed her subjects through a five-year, post-school period.

She recorded that slightly more than 27 per cent completed a four-year high school course. The rest went to work in various skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled fields. In unskilled occupations, the girls were generally employed as domestics, factory machine operators, packers or demonstrators of commercial products. Boys took jobs as truck drivers, machine operators, service station attendants, bus boys, dairy assistants, railroad car checkers, canvassers, elevator operator and theatre ushers.

In industries where skilled workers were required, the girls qualified as assembly-line inspectors, as welders, blueprint checkers. The boys were employed as plastic molders, frame makers, nursery men, pattern makers, linotype operators, welders, blueprint etchers, bakers and assembly-line inspectors. But it does not necessarily follow that all persons with low IQs are capable of holding such jobs. Nor does it mean that persons holding similar positions fall in the category of morons.

Some of the sub-normal subjects checked by Miss Schmidt worked as beauty operators, as private music and dancing teachers, reference librarians; one qualified as graduate nurse. The boys were represented in the professional sphere by two commercial artists.

V2STNIK— WEST, TEXAS Miss Schmidt revealed that the weekly , salaries of the girls whom she studied after they left school, ranged between $10 and $64, with a mean average of $23.50. For the boys, the salaries started at $6 a week and went as high as $84, with an overall average of $32.

Of the 254 former pupils Miss Schmidt included in her study, 15 of the girls and three of the boys married as soon as they found jobs. Their children are healthy and normal; their parents financially independent and reasonably happy.

Records of sub-normal boys and girls who have been graduated from specialized training schools for the mentally deficient prove that their earning power usually is above average. On the other hand, many people with extremely high IQs and of superior education too often are forced to work for "moronic" salaries.

One psychologist has discovered that there are millionaire morons in this country. He explains this phenomenon by pointing out that such millionaires have one-track minds concentrated solely on earning and amassing money. To them, money symbolizes an end rather than a means. By excluding all other interests and using the accumulation of wealth as their goal, many have become exceedingly rich and are able to employ the best minds in the country to increase their fortunes for them.

During the past 20 years, the North Jersey Training School reports, 60 per cent of its girl graduates have become financially independent. Among the graduates of the District of Columbia Training Schools are a chain-store manager at $55 a week, a laundry supervisor, a waitress, a baker's assistant, a hospital worker and several maids. A Connecticut boy, with an IQ of 40, earns $45 a week; and one, even lower, is earning $35 a week—figures that lead to odious comparison with the average U. S. Industrial worker's pay of $53.63, as of March, 1949.

In 1944, there were more than 99,000 mental defectives in the U. S. Many are incapable of learning a trade. Others never had the opportunity for specialized training. But, as Miss Schmidt has proved, if straightened out emotionally, they can adjust themselves and become self-supporting, even useful citizens..

Mentally deficient individuals often display rare and surprising aptitudes.

During the World's Fair in New York a Broadway showman featured a subnormal youngster from Kentucky as one of the attractions of the midway. The youngster could derive instantly the cube root of any given number, a feat ordinarily requiring pencil, paper and a few seconds, even for an Einstein.

Ve sticedu, dne 7. zari 1949.

Another memorable feat is that of the feebleminded boy in Ohio, who memorized the automobile license numbers of hundreds of his acquaintances.

An imbecile of 12 could multiply two three-digit numbers with lightning speed; and another, when told the age of a person, could respond by giving the number of minutes that person has lived.

Not all the aptitudes of the mentally deficient tend to mathematics. Their artistic accomplishments are also wellevidenced. One of the earliest instances is that of an imbecile, Gottfried Mind, who lived in Germany in 1768. He could not read, write or count, but his water color sketches became known through•• out Europe. Blind Tom; a 19th century imbecile, was so proficient at the piano that he gave concerts in the United States which consistently drew packed houses.

Such aptitudes properly employed enable morons to earn high incomes.

Sociologists believe that if guided and supervised, many morons can provide services highly valuable to specialized industries and at the same time find economic security, and most important, happiness for themselves and tneir families. ) • 4, s

Thumbsucking Really Wrong?

It is my sincere opinion that every person should have at least a dozen lectures on the subject of child psychology.

Practically all of our behavior as adults can be traced directly to some causes which happened in our childhood and infant days. This short article dealing with very common behavior found in children may give the readers of the Vestnik some idea as to what the science of psychology is trying to find out about the infants and the children.

Are you chewing gum, smoking a cigarette or biting your nails while you read this? If so, then you're partially satisfying that sucking instinct, just as Baby Bob does while he lies in his crib, thumb to his cheek. It's likely, too, that as Baby Bob becomes boy, then adult, he'll never really give up his sucking habits. At ten he'll have a lollipop in his mouth; at thirty a cigar.

If you think Junior looks like a Mongolian idiot with his hand popping in and out of his mouth, you may be more accurate than you think. Mongolian idiots are the most chronic of thumbsuckers. The chances are, however, that Junior is simply one of the ten per cent of all normal children who suck, bite and bruise their digits. Don't let your

Ve sttedu, dne 7. zati. 1949. mother-in-law tell you otherwise. And don't worry yourself.

Thumbsucking is good for a baby; it's even necessary. In spite of what the neighbors say, sucking is not dangerous to mouth, jaw or teeth. It's more likely to be dangerous to the thumb itself, and while there's no record yet of a child having bitten off his own thumb, the thumbs of chronic sucklings do sometimes become calloused and blistered.

You don't have to run off to the doctor with Junior: Just apply a bandage.

And don't pull Junior's thumb out of his jaw; if you do, you'll be doing worse than taking candy from a baby. Many doctors now agree with Dr. Lauretta Bender, child psychiatrist at New York's Bellevue Hospital: "In trying to thwart this natural instinct, a mother may retard her child's development .. . upset his normal behavior pattern . . . produce petulant crying, guilty feelings and anxiety dreams."

Contrary to old wives' beliefs, thumbsuckers are born, not made. Some children inevitably practise it more or less than others. A child who sucks his thumb only temporarily does so because he's hungry; the "true thumbsucker" is the child who after feeding to heart and stomach's content, is still "thumb-up."

"By duplicating the instinctive sucking activity of feeding," writes Dr. Bender in the Woman's Home Companion, "he is able to expend excess energy and expand' his field of tactile knowledge. In addition, he's developing powers of oral activity that will be important in his later social life—in the form of eating, smoking, kissing and other sociable customs."

That thumbsucking is not a hunger gratification has only been proved recently. But as far back as 1937, Dr. David Levy, well-known child psychologist, had shown this in his experiments with animals. Small puppies were taken from their mother, fed to satiation through eyedroppers. But after feeding, the puppies still continued to suck on each other's paws. Chickens too, observed Dr. Levy, continued to peck for food far more than was necessary for nutritional purposes.

While thuMbsucking is necessary, there is good evidence that sucking habits may be prolonged through faulty feeding. Dr. Benjamin Spock, authority on child care, says those children who are confined at bottle or breast to rigid diets are more likely to continue as sucklings than those who are not. In controlled experiments with some 15 thumbsuckers and 15 non-thumbsuckers, Dr. Ena Roberts conclusively proved that the non-thuMbsuckers took a longer time

Vt STNIX— WEST, TEXAS

feeding than the suckers in some cases almost twice as long.

Though there is no such thing as the "right length of time" for child feeding, it is generally agreed that 20 minutes is a bit too short; that half-an-hour is approximately the average duration. Rot• time is really irrelevant, says Spock, some children such an hour at one feeding and 15 minutes at the next; you just can't tell. The best advice for mother: let baby stay at his milk as long as he wishes.

Then if he still pokes his thumb in his mouth, change from fast to slaw-flowing nipple. If he doesn't stop then—his craving will gradually diminish with age, says Dr. Spook.

It's not just the length but the frequency of feedings which may sometimes determine whether Junior is a satisfied suckling. Occasionally a child will switch from a four-hour feeding to three—and then back again. "Don't be discouraged," writes Dr. Spook placidly. Spare yourself and your baby tears and temper—baby will soon switch back again.

Some doctors suggest using pacifiers.

These are holeless nipples, attached to plastic disks, which babies can mouth without sucking air. Up to the , age of three months, Junior will accept a pacifier instead of his thumb. But once used to the flavor of his own finger, Junior becomes a connoisseur; he won't take a pacifier for love or persuasion.

Most babies stop the thumbsucking habit once and for all before the end of their first year. Some children, however, have persisted until the age of six or seven. But by that time thumbsucking has become more than just an oral need.

It is usually a source of comfort at special times; Junior will suck when he gets tired, when he's bored, and when he needs comfort. He may also suck in defense of stress or strain at home or in school.

Late thumbsucking may also occur for short, temporary periods. Some psychologists have noted that children frequently suck in concordance with other movements, such as rubbing or plucking a blanket, diaper or wooly toy. These are memory motions, occasional escapes to the time when mother held them close to her skin or •clothing while they fed.

But if these should continue for too long a time, it's a sure sign of insecurity in the child. Find out what's wrong with him; is he threatened by the competition of a new baby in the house? Are you paying him enough attention? Or have you scolded him too often? That wet thumb can tell you a lot about your child if you really want to learn.

There is no prescribed method for the positive cure of late thumbsucking,

Strana 25 though one doctor has suggested providing Junior with substitutes. Let him blow on horns or whistles, says Dr. Bender .. . give him candy and lollipops. To most parents, however, this cure seems worse than the crime, and like all children, it seems, Junior, must have something in his mouth—thumbsucker or not. ) ® 4®

Catching a Falling Star Every respectable museum anywhere in the world possesses a specimen or two of what is scientifically called meteorite.

It is usually an unimpressive pebblesized lump of rusty or blackened iron, sometimes with heavy stony material mixed in. These lumps are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars.

In 1902, a Welshman named Ellis Hughes came to America and settled with his wife and son in the dense, wet, still primitive forest south of Portland, in the state of Oregon. The Hughes family lived modestly; the nearest neighbor was a mile away, and Ellis Hughes took plenty time off for his hobby— prospecting for minerals. Before he came to America, he had been a miner in Wales and in Australia, where he had learned plenty about minerals.

He had a prospecting partner named Dale. One day the two men came across a most peculiar rock, on a hillside within a mile of Hughes' home. Perhaps one of them actually stubbed a toe on the thing; more likely he spied it first and swung a tentative, testing mallet. The rock wasn't big, at first sight, but it was pure metal, rust-flaked and immovable.

The result was wild excitement.

They began to dig. Hughes called the find a "reef"—a good Australian term for a treasure lode. They determined the metal was iron, for gold or silver would have been heavier. But the prospects for an iron mine seemed wonderfully rosy, even so.

Then they came to the end of the reef. They had dug entirely around a weirdly-eroded, bell-shaped lump of iron measuring ten by seven feet across and four feet thick. The lode, they figured, continued farther underground.

Dale and Hughes kept their find an absolute secret. They might have slammed their fists On the nearest bar and babbled the news that would have started another gold rush—or, in this case, an iron rush. Instead, they nosed around to discover who owned the land on which the "reef" lay. The answer, by coincidence, was the Oregon Iron and Steel Company, a concern with conveniently absentee ownership. Hughes, and Dale hoped to buy that particular piece of land.
