DEN DiKUVZDANt EN DIKUVZDANI pkipada, na posledni atvrtek v mesici listopadu D a je to narodni svatek, jeho2 historie jest pomerne mnohem vetS1 da ynovekosti Jako za mnohY jinYizvyk dekujeme i za tento onem ptisnYm puritanum, kteti pti gli do zatoky Massachusettske, aby zpilsobili trvaly vliv na spoldenskY 2ivot noveho sveta. Historie prvniho dne Diktivzdani na Massachusettske planta2i byla udavana rozdilne ne2 jak se pravi, byl roku 1621 sloven den diktivzdani v uznani prvni sklizne Poutnikil v Americe.

To byly velice te2ke dny pro kolonisty; zima byla nadmiru kruta a 'dude jevil se nedostatek. Ude byli nuceni 2iviti se mokskYmi muSlemi a lasturami, podzemnicemi a 2aludy, ktere bylo lze v zimni dobe dostati jen s velkYmi obtaemi. Lid byl velice znaven a zbaven odvahy, zylaAte kdy byla posledni mouka na chleba v peci. Winthrop poslal zahy v minulem eervnu lod' Lion do Anglie pro naklad potravin, ale po uplynuti mnohYch mesicii lod' se nevracela. Dne 5. fmora roku 1621, zatim co guverner daval posledni hrstku mouky v sudu chudemu eloveku, v torn okam2iku spozorovali lod' bli2ici se k fisti ptistavu, naldenou potravinami pro vkchny.

Aekoliv se den dikilvzdani v Novoanglicku udr2oval, nestal se ykobecnYm o2 tepry v dobe revoluce. Od to doby byl den narodniho dikfivzdani doporuaovan kongresem. Jak zaznamy o narodnich svatcich ukazuji„bylo to roku 1864, kdy president Lincoln vydal prohlakni, kterYm se stanovi posledni etvrtek v listopadu onoho roku jako den narodniho dikiivzda,ni.

Ve svem prohlakni Lincoln pravil: "Zlibilo se Vkmohoucimu prodlou2iti nas ndrodni 2ivot o jeden rok, chraniti nas proti cizim nepkatelskym obmyslilm a u§tedfiti nam eetna, a yYznamna viterstvi nad nepkitelem, jen2 jest v na.A.i vlastni domacnosti." Ka2dy nasledujici president Spoj. state prohlasil den dikfivzdani a toho bylo nasledovano -podobnYmi prohlaknimi guvern6ru rianYch state.

Den dikuvzdani, pro nas obeany es. 01vodu den americkeho posvideni, znamena mnoho, dovedeme-li se Vmysleti do dob dfivejSich, do let davnYch, kdy naSi pionYki zde v nove vlasti zaeinali. Oni pkenesli sem sice sve zvyky a tradice ske zeme, ale dovedli se pkizpilsobiti poNEJPIIIJEIHNEJSI DEN AMERICKEHO POSVICENi..

Pkejeme yam v: em, broth a sestry, abyste dne posvicenskeho ztravili v kruhu vlastni rodiny nebo nejbliMich pkibuznYch a upkimnych pkatel. A ke2 ozvena tohoto gt'astneho dne nalezne ohlasu i ye vaAich bratrskYch a sesterskYch srdcich, aby i SPJST mohla v budoucnosti vzdati varn diky za ka2dou pomoc a lasku ji projevenou.

Vzpominame te2 pionYril americkYch, kteki z pralesti statil vYchodnich ueinili padu firodnou, kteki po neiimorne praci letnich mesicfr shromaldili rodiny sve v podzimnim dnu listopadovem, aby podekovali za dary zeme a v zapalu nad fispechy docilenYmi planovali einnost roku pkiUiho. Osady tehdy byly malinke, od sebe znaene vzdalene, proto i den dikaeineni omezen byl na rodiny pouze a bohoslu2by za osadu celou, nekolik jen rodin eitajici. AvS"ak zvyk zdomacnel a pkekl na pokoleni nasledujici, aby proklamaci presidenta pkekl ve svatek zakonitY, uznavanY a slaveny po cele semi. Oslavy dne dikfleineni jsou chvalitebnYm zvy-

A jako elenove bratrske jednoty mame pkidiny radovati se nejen z fispechil rokii minulych, ale mame opravnene nadeje, ze tyto se budou stupfiovati ka2dYm rokern.

KdyZ se s nim byk dost namoril a nemohl ho povalit, poslali na nej feznici sve psy, kteri meli byka uStvat.

Tentokrate jsme s poteknim mohli konstatovat, ze dallaske divadlo je opet n.a, velike \TVSsi a teSi se zajmu na'Si S'iroke oeskoamericke vetejnosti v gorokem okoli Gallaskem a co dale, jeho povest pronika i nekolik set mil za Dallas. Vysledkem toho bylo, ze jsme mohli mezi nasimi naVStevniky ptivitati nak mile a stale hosty divaky br. a sest. SYkorovi z Oklahomy, ptes 30 lidi z Grayson, jako i velmi poeetnou skupinu divan z West a Ennis, kteti si po ptedstaveni a velmi ptijemne zabave odnakli dome ten nejcennej§i lek — smich a zaroveri radost nad setkanirn se se sv'mi znannYmi v ryze Ceske spoleenosti pri dobre nalade, hudbe, jidle a piti. Kdy2 jiZ jsem tak pri to kuchyni, musim tlumoeiti prosbu kuchyrskeho odboru za prominuti, ze na nekolik malo vStevnikt se nedostalo pattiene jidla, jak bylo a jest zvykem v dallaske Sokolovne.

Omluva vS'ak jest velmi prosta. NaySteva a hlad na'Sich divaku byly tak -neeekane velike, ze nak proslavena kuchyne byla do posledniho drobeeku doslova vyjedena a vymetena. Nestaeily ani pomocne vYpravy do blizkych okolnich obchodd, aby uspokojily hlad nekterYeh divakti. Verime pevne, ze pro pti S . te budeme miti opet pro nase divaky hojnost i veliky vYber Iidel ryze eesky ptipravovanYch na naSem pohostinnem stole a tHime se, bude-li to pokraeovati takto dale, ze budeme moci v blizem budoucnu privitati nak navStevniky v nov,e a vetSi Sokolovne.

Jmenern divadelniho odboru, herciiochotnikir dekujem za tak velkou navStevu, je nam povzbuzenirn k dalSi. praci.

Mysleli jsme, ze pri operetce "Tarn na borach" meli jsme rekordni nav,Stevu, vSak na torn "Omlazenern dedeeku" byla navAteva daleko vetgi.

Zaroveri prosim, aby nekteri z cizich nav'Stevnikd pismald, kteti divadlu rozumi, podali vetejnossti svoji vecnou kritiku.

Co Vy, br. LaZnovskY? Muslin vam nee° na br. L. prozradit. Jak vS'ichni vite a jej znate, je vdovec-medat, daval nam tarn navod na omlazeni. (Ovsem ze to myslel jen nas babiely a dedeeky). Do teple vody dat 3 lice medu a tim se umYt. (Nal-

kal jestli tuto zazraenou omlazovaci moc maji jen jeho veelky, anebo to mice b't mcd jakYkoliv.) Jestli ten svtij navod prakticky provadi, opravdu to zkouSlu. Kdyby mu (od dentisty) narostly jeSte nove zoubky, dobre bysme mu mohli ubrat 20 let. Ale toto jsem yam zde psat nechtela a doufam, ze me br. L. uZ dobte zna a ze to vezme v Zertu, tak jak je to podano. Take br. Sedivy, humorista, by nam mohl napsat, co se mu na torn omlazeneni dedeeku libilo a jak, on by si poeinal, kdyby jim byl. Oim vice vas bude psat, tim vice nas poteSite.

Je me opravdu lito, ze se na vkchny nalikevniky jidla nedostalo. Objednala jsem ptes 40 liber masa, jitrnice, parky a vSe ptipravila odpoledne za pomoci sester Malikove a Stranske, yeeer se kuchyne ujaly sest. Nesudova, Koriakovska, a Vrlova. Ale kdy2 jsem vylezla z naTovedni budky, bylo v kuchyni jako u snedeneho kramu. Tak honem jsem poslala pro mleko a chleb, ale ani to nestaeilo, i peeiva bylo tentokrat mere. Slibuji, na-pri§te opattim pro kuchyri vetSi zasoby, tedy odpust'te a prijd'te zas.

Musim zde vzdat zaslouZenou pochvalu sest.

Zase je zde pravdive piislovi, ze jablko od stromu daleko nepadne. Bylo to pekne, sest. T. a maminku a tatinka Kraftovi to velmi poteSilo.

Mill etenati!

Slibila jsem vain minuly .tYden, ze yam povim neco o tom naSem divadle "Vesnieka pod Sumavou", ale vidim, ze br. PodlipnY y am drobet vypsal, ale jak ja„ tak i on zakl do krasnYch vzpominek o krasSurnavy. nem kraji Pamatuji si, jednou kdy jsem ponejpr y zaeinala pracovati v Sokole, maminka me rikala, "ViS Heleno, meta by jsi napsat aspori nejaky tadeeek do VestniKu, je to tvoje povinnost a taky aby aspori lide ineli co Gist ad nov'ch dopisovatelft."

A ja na to odpovedela, "Vi'S mami, ja netnim psat jak Ty tak dojimave a pak me me city nejdou na. papir, jen kdy jsem straSne rozeilena, anebo hodne nadSena." Ano — hodne nadkna — nevim uZ jak davno tomu jest, kdy jsem byla tak nadkna s divadlem jak nyni s "yesniekou pod Sumavou", take i kdy jste uz drobet o divadle eetli, prece je'Ste neco o nem varn poviin. Hned jak jsem ji pomahala vyklepavat na stroji, ukradla mi kousieek srdce. yidela jsein v ni mnoho veci — osob pripady, ktere jsem, kdyZ jsem zavtela nob videla jako me vlastni. Vezmete ku prikladu toho dedecka kterY bude sehran p. Svrekem. Vidim • ho jako sveho dedouSka, jest prostredm postavy, belovlasY, mil' dedouSek, kterY v tele jest start', ale ktereho duee a mysl jest je§te nalada, kterY chape sva vnoueata a je podporuje. tJloha ta, by nemohla byt v lepSich rukou neZ u p. Syreka.

Otce sehraje br. Jan Kalousek a Uloha ta jest stvotena jen pro neho. Pamatuji si p. Kalouska je'Ste kdy jsem byla malieka — hm, hm, tomu uZ je dobrYch 30 let. Nepamatuji si ho jako naSeho souseda, ta vzpominka jest nejak zarnlZena snad proto, ze tenkrat jako sousedi byly jejich deti vic dtilelite me neZ oni dospeli lide; ale pamatuji si ho jako herce u 8tefa,nika. Tenkrate byl p. Sulda reliserem. Vy, kteri jste zde bYvali a k Stefa,niktim chodivan, si zajiste pamatujete ho z divadel, jako "Drama etyt chud'ch sten", Karel Havlieek Borovsk' a jine a jine. Tenkrate se zde hravala divadla kade 3 neb 4 tydny a sin byla prepinena, ze lide stavali y e dverich a sedavali v oknech.

Matku bude predstavovat naSe sestra Carrie Vodehnalova, a ze ji sehraje, to jsem jista, neb nas jeSte nezklamala, nybrZ prekvapila. Hraje milou selskou maminku. Lenka a Jarea jsou jejich dcery.

Tak rozliene v karakterech, ze Clo y & by neuveril, ze jsou sestry. Lenka, prava selska divka, ktera miluje nade vie ten selsky Zivot s jeho teZkou praci, yeeernim odpoeinku v kruhu sve rodiny a mezi svYmi sousedy, se zpevem se veseliti. A omiluje sveho Karla, ktery miluje jeji Zivot tea. Neni ji nic tak vzacne jako jeji domov, jeji typ Zivota v jeji vesniace

Ve stredu, dne 23. listopadu 1949.

v eeskoslovensku. Prave dnes jsme do- zde rozeni

stall podekovani za balik textilu, kterY jsme poslali pied nejakYrn easem do 2danic na, Morave. To by muses bYt z kamene aby se nezaradoval jakou raclost jim s tend vecmi zpirsobil. Cetla jsem, Ze baliky, ktere jsou ted' do oeskoslovenska za tato vlady posilany, se trati, ze neni jiste nee° posilat. AC ja, net jsem to detla, kolik baliku jsme poslali a .2adnY se neztratil, nedala jsem se odstragit a poslala zase a v ge co jsme poslali na gim pratelrim, bylo dorudeno v poradku. Napred jsme posilali odlolene gatstvo, ted' uZ ho vice nemama, tak jsem koupila v ge nove, postlanky na pastel, povlaky na polstare, uteraky, muZske ko gile a latky na gaty.

Bylo mi radeno, aby to v ge aspori preprala aby z toho nemuseli platit clo. jsem to poslala tak jak jsem to koupila a Mclne clo neplatili. a v ge bylo v poradku, as na ten "motouz" jak oni tomu rikaji tcmu jsme se aji zasmali. Jak balik clostali, hned poslali krat gi psani letadlem, Ze balik v poradku prigel az na ten "motouz" Ze se jim zda, Ze to je tamnej gi vYrobek z papiru, Ze my baliky takovYrn nevaZem. Ja jsem balik vazala "fishlinen" tak jsem jim psala, ass nada chtel jit na ryby, tak ho potreboval at' mu ho dopreji, jen kdyZ ostatni veai nechal na pokoji.

TeZ jsme jim poslali balik novin 10 disel Vestniku, 2 eisla Rolnika, cestovni mapu Texasu, nejake vYstriZky z magazinu, a Montgomery katalog, to bylo otvirane, ponevaca mapu, katalog a vYstriZly dostali &iv netli noviny, ale take je vgechny dostali, Katalog gel z ruky do ruky, zprisobil velkY obdiv, zvlagt' mezi m.ladeE, papiru maji mad°. Tak Ze deco podobneho je gte nevideli.

Nati pratele tam nejsou na torn nejhorgi maji sve dorny a zamestnani, se Zivobytim maji jiz lep gi, mouku a zemaky dostanou jiz na volno, ale toho obleCeni se jim jegte z daleka nedostava.

Pigou, Ze takove kogile jak my jsme poslali, dye by staly jeho celY mesidni plat 4500 ask, na volnem trhu (v nagi merle $90.00) na listky a body by mohl koupit 10 takovYch ko gil jen Ze tech listkil a boar nestaei. Delnika je nedostatek platy velke, ale co je jim to platne, co se vyrobi, musi se zamenit za surovY material, aby melt z Ceho ty vVrobky delat, tak Ze tech hotovYch vYrobkri na ne mai° zbyde.

Po preeteni dopisu pi. Valove a pi.

Mikeskove a toho co my jsme dues dostall, tak se ZadnY nemusi ptat, prod pomahat, oni si nemohou pomoct, proto, *Ze nemaji z echo.

Je to kaZdeho osobni vac, nekdo na to hledi tak, druhY jinak, dokud se nagim pratelUm jak ye Vidni tak ye Zdanicich obleaeni nebude dostavat, nedalo by mi to pokoje, aby aspori new dle motnosti neposlala.

Zdravi v ge Ctouci Frances Homola. * of; ( Dallas, Tex. Huh! Odpoeinek od divadelni prace do konce roku. Tak se citiin volna, Ze honem premYglim, co vgecko za tu dobu doma udelam co nejdrive, z ktereho konce chytnu tu zanedbanou praci, ktera, eekala bude po divadle. Ale .at', ona je gte podka, ,kdyZ toho bude treba, prace bude a my nebudem, ani tech krasnYch eeskYch divadel, ktere pote gily a jegte pote gi sta a sta nagich dobrYch eeskYch lidi v Texasu. V jednom aisle Vestniku pi ge jeden bratr a zase v jinem easopise sestra, Ze sokolska prace ochabuje, Ze to neni to co bylo drive. — Ano, mate trochu pravdu, ale nejen sokolska prace, vubec vgechna prace vtech v gech eeskYch spolkil, platele. A ei vinou? nas vtech a okolnostech. Budeme-li ale ve get hlavu mezi ramena, tim nic nesvedem. Semknout se a pracovat tak dlouho jak se to da pro ty nage zbYvajici Cechoamerieany, kterYch je zde jegte hodne. Vidime to kdyZ se hraje Ceske divadlo, ty ohromne navgtevy.

C'eska divadla, sokol a Ceske spolky jegte budou zde v Texasu dlouho Zit, jen neochabovat. Mame deti, na ge budoucnost, az prestaneme my, zaenou ony, treba v anglietine, jen je pobidnete! Ve Vestniku je vyhraZena anglicka east pro na ge deti zde vychovane. Kolik je tam dopisii? Vetginou jsou to br. ValCika jako redaktora pouene elanky, aby zapinil misto. Diky za ne, jsou pekne. Piece je ale stale nag Cesky oddil pinej gi s dopisy. Tak prod narikame? Delame vac hor gi net ye skuteCnosti je. V dallaske sokolovne se stale cviei, v Corpus Christi, ta v Ennis, Fort Worth, v Praze, v Houstone, v gaide kde maji svoje telocvieny je cvieeni, tam se schazi na ge mladeZ. Ovgem, Ze to neni jak byvalo, ale je to uZ treti pokoleni. Co chceme vie? Prato hlavu vzharu a pracovat! Take v privatnim dopise si me moje dcera, Hlenka Teperova. stauje: Mam pry psat agitaCni dopis pro sokolska divadlo "Vesnieka pod Surnavou". Ja rnam batik prace, hraji, staram se o to a zase

Ve stfeklu, dne 23. listopadu 1949. o nee° jineho, ye ekole mame program a tfi male bolgeviky, kteri niiaji stale hlad, a jeete mam psat deskY dopis? Kdya si pomyslim, 'ae mame tady tolik dobrYch skYch pismakti, kterYm napsat dopis vezme deset minut, kdeato me vezme skoro hodinu, hned bych se kousla. Opravdu musela jsem se ji zasmat a ji dat v neeem pravdu, ale napsala jsem ji, ae ti stars pismaci ua davno dali svtij dil deske vefejnosti, nyni ae to povinosti tech mladg' ich, aby i oni svfij dil dali kam patti, jen at' pile, proto jsou Ceske noviny a br. redaktor rad opravi tu chybidku kterou udeld. Odpovedi byl jeji dopis "Vspominam!" Vetim, ae Ti dal trochu prate, ale jsem na tebe Helenko hrda, tady je dtika2, ae jsi sobe ten Cas udelala, kdya jsi chtela. Dekuj prosketelnosti, ae Ti dala prileaitost, 'ae Te ten pan uditel ve ekole naueil Cist a psat a v kostelieku pan farat Boha znat, jak je to v torn divadle "Vesnieka pod Sumavou". My, bude-li to moane, pojedeme se na to divadlo podivat. Je to krasnY dej a ty vYpravy v kostymech, to bude pekne. Hraji sami dobti herci. Jen pekne poeasi. Veak houstoneti ochotnici Sokola a Pokroku a ochotnici Sokola Dallas jsou jedinYmi divadly zde v celem velikem Texasu, kteri stale fleinkuji.

Naee dallaska sokolska mladea sehraje prieti mesic americky kousek, veselohru.

Dekuji vaem, kteri nam pomohli pri minulem divadle "OmlazenY dededek". Byl to peknY dej a naa br. Ludva TobernY si odnesl vavriny, neb jeho titulni aloha dedeeka byla podana bajeene a byla to iiloha Wald, neb byla ye ttech osobach.

Ostatni herci se nedali zahanbit a sinele zapasili o fispech veeera. Dik patti dceniece Ondrilekove za zapageni baletnich sate pani Jeaove, za cylindry panu Malymu za pomoc pri dekorovani jeviete a br.

V. Hoekovi za lieeni hercu. Prosim, koho jsem opomenula odpust'te mi to, neb main nekdy prazdnou hiavu.

Tea chci vzpomenouti pi. Markove od druheho fadu, ktera mela pana manaela nemocneho a pfece nam pomahala, tea naae nejmladei baleriny Poldi a Lili dobre se zapsaly v srdcich divaku. Manaele Kopeekovi byli bajeeni, i ten na g' Cernoch Joe Maca byl nenahraditelnY, rovne2 manaele Arnold a Helenka Vrlovi hezky svoji filohu provedli. Pan Maly dokazal, ke nernel matinku zbyteene slavnou hereCkou, provedl svoji filohu znamenite, a naa Joe Janieek, to je moje prava, ruka pri Mani kulis, tentokrat trochu ochabnul, neb vedel ae mam nahradu v panu Malem, a pak mu skoeil do srdeeka asi flaky Amorek, ale hral eienika vYborne.

Tea ten nejvetgi dik patti vaem navetevniktim, kdyby jich nebylo, nehrali bysme Ceske divadlo. Zatim nazdar!

Kdya prijeli do teto zaslibene Ameriky, pfebYvali asi nest mil od Wesley, ta osada se jmenovala Schoenau. Tam jsme by dleli po mnoho rokil, ale ae tam byla bith na zem, toa se rodide rozhodli a jeli se podivat na pozemky do okresu Burleson a tea tam hned pozemek zakottpili. To misto bylo v osade Snook, Tex. Tak nyni se vratim k tomu mistu, kde jsme pied tim bydleli, do Schoenau, kde veru take nemeli na ruaich ustlano, museli mnoho pracovat. Domeeek si postavili z logsua eindele si tatinek naetipal ze stromu na pokryti lagsdeka, tea se musely rozatepovat stromy a Mat rygle a fenc, neb jak se Mica, plot, aby firoda byla chranena pied dobytkem. Tehdy nebylo dratenYch plotu. Logsadek byl jen jedna svetniela a podle toho byl pfistaven ma"bekrilmek". Tam jsme men still, dye kamna a to bylo cele zatizeni, v kuchyni hrneeky, panve, pekade, to se naveeelo na, steny a kabinet byl hotovY, ale nemyslete, ae ta kuchyne mela dlaaku ze dreva, to ne, jen ueinena, zem. Tel ta &oda tehdy priela teako obdelavat, neb jeden musel rozhrnout fadek, druhY rozhazovat rukou semeno, treti semeno zahrnout, toa tfi pracovali na jednom radku. Nyni je velikY pokrok, takovY jak kdyt rekne den a noc, jake hrozne obtiae byly s mouchama a s komary, elovek si nemohl odpoeinout pees poledne pro mouthy a weer zas pro komary, neb tehdy nebylo "screenoveho" dratu na dvere a okna a jestli byl, toa na venkove lido o nem nevedeli. Jak teako ta vodidka prigla tahat jak pfielo napajet Best neb osm krav a taane kone a nekolik vepfaktii, paneeku ruce o nedem vedely.

Kolik toho zanily ty matinky kdya byly detieky male, vee to pradlo dfit na tech drhlech, ani toho mkolla nebylo dostatek, musely maminky moeit popel do vody pfidavat do pradla, ten popel se rozmisil s vodou a jak se to ustalo toa se ta eista voda svrchu slila a to se pfidavalo do pradla, nekdy to bylo tak sane, ae se MIae linala s rukou. Ted' yam napiei jake matrace byly na spavani, tehdy nebylo bavinovYch matraci, ani pera do lose, tehdy se natrhal kornovY eoks adal se do cichy a ua jste meli matraci. Ale bylo to velice nepfijemne, neb za jednu noc to byl taky placek sleaenk, toa to musel novel Cechrat kaady veder a lidieky takovY nepfijemny prach z toho goksu vyletoval, ae jste z toho museli kYchat jak koeka kdya nabere mleka do nosu.

Neil McLennan dostal se do sttedniho Texasu po tgkYch zkou gkach sveho pestreho Z'ivota, a sna g ani nettrSil, jakou vedouci freast bude niti v historii teto cacti Texasu. Narozen ye Skotsku 1788 ve stati 14 let dojel s rodidi do Arneriky -- do Severni Karoliny, kde se jim dosti datilo.

V roce 1815 mladY Neil Mc Lerman vydal se s kamaradem na vYzkumnou cestu do Floridy, jiz procestovali a vratili se cloma se zpravou, ze stat Florida zda se bYti dobrYrn mistem k usazeni. Rodina McLennan-ova ptestehovala se tedy roku 1816 na Floridu, kde 2ila 18 rokil. V to dobe kolovaly zpravy o velkYch moanostech pro usedliky v Texasu, jim nabizeno k zabrani 640 akru pro mute, dodateene 320 akra pro jeho Z'enu a dale 160 Art pro kaZde ditko. Cena akru 'lady byla tehdy — pouhy desak. Zprava o Stedre nabidce Orly roznesla se po Unii a take k sluchu rodiny McLennan-ovy do Floridy. Nevedlo se ji §patne nea dobrodruklY Skot rozhodl, ae se jim v Texasu povede lepe. Neil co hlava rodiny odproda.1 Cast nabytku a koupil lodici k pteplavu Mexiskeho zalivu do Texasu. VYprava mela mankly McLennan-ovi, syny Johna a Duncana, bratry Johan a Laughlina s jejich rodinami a starou Neilovu. matku.

Mala, lodice byla cestou dvakrate ptepadena piraty; pti druhem ptepadu pira,ti pfivazali lodici k jejich lodi a vlekli ji za sebou, pokud silna boute je neptinutila ji zanechat. Koneene udatna rodina spattila Usti teky Brazos; yYprava vydala se proti proudu teky do Ford Bend okresu, kde se vylodila, a po to lodici prodala.

K dalSimu putovani koupil Neil potah vaz a jine nejnutnejSi potteby a jelo se do Nashville — na, tece Brazos. Byly to tehdy drsne a kruShe pomery, do riich vystehovalci ptijeli; vYrobkil a coa latek nebylo, kupovalo se vYrnenou za razne ptedmety, krava s teletern stala $20, voh $20 hlava, a slepice a vepte hodnotili co "stkibrne rnenivo".

Sekera, flinta a pluh byly v to dobe yeci, na, nez rnuZi spolehali. Korna byla hlavni potravou, prvni Texane chranili sva polieka proti jelenam, bisorram, divokernu dobytku — a s ruenici proti Indianam. McLennani prisli na nove misto dobte ptipraveni a ptivezli si tea svoje semen korny, za niz vydfidnSi poeitali novym usedlikfun a'Z $20 za buSI. Bez zbyteeneho zdrkvani vyprava dorazila do Nashville na zaeatku roku 1835. Byla to vlastne jen skupina srubovYch doinka a dtevena pevnastka k ochrane pied Indiany; Nashville zaniklo a nalezalo se nekolik mil jihozapadne od dneS"niho mesta Hearne.

Asi za rok pobytu v Texasu Laughlin McLennan vydal se rano na mYtinu picky. Banda Indiana vytitila se nan z lesa a poeala nan sttileti Sipy.

Za nedlouho po masakru rodiny Laughlin McLennanovy — Neil McLennan jen nahodou unikl stejnemu osudu.

Jednoho dne Neil McLennan, synek Neil ml. a eernoch otrok vydali se do pole sazet vzacnou tehdy kornu. Pti praci pojednou vyjevila, se tlupa Indiana z pkilehleho lesa a zaeli stfilet oStepy. Negr byl zranen oStepem do ruky a zajat, oba Neillove unikli do bezpeet Za nekolik tYdna dernoch byl vykoupen a vratil se k McLennan-inn. Za dva roky na to — v roce 1839 — Indiani zaskoeili a usmrtili pti Nashville druheho bratra Johna.

Nasledujici rok 1839`byl meznikem v 2ivote Neil McLennan-a a v potadi udalosti, jeZ" mely za deset let pozdeji vyvrcholit zaloknirn mesta Waco. V tom roku Neil doprovazel mladeho ptitele, George Bernard Erath-a, ktery co zememetio mel provesti vYmeteni rozlohy honitby Indiana as po teku Brazos a adoli teky Bosque. Telacd roku Robertson's Colony byla rozdelena na dva, okesy — vychodni east od Brazos pojmenovana okres Robertson a zapadni Cast od teky Brazos okres Milam. V techto okresech teka Brazos ma 300 mil delky.

Jedna z prvnich skupin usedlika, dojedSich do Nashville roku 1939, byla Cast mladYch rodin z Missouri, vedend Shapley Prince Ross-em, jeho znamenitou manklkou a etyfrni detrni.

Pozdeji v podzimu Erathova metieska vYprava dala se do prace, pteSla, opuatenou Waco indianskou vesnici a smetovala, severozapadne do okresu Bosque. Erath v roku 1876 popisoval toto dobrodrOstvi nasledovne: "Neil McLennan — shlednuvSe Bosque Valley poprve, vyslovil svoje neobyeejn,e uspokojeni a Z'adal nine, abych pro p vynejaky pozemek.

Kdybychom ho vlastnili, dali bysme "league" za kus masa a chleba. "League" pro informaci etenatt pozustava ze 4,428 a,kra.

Neni za teZko pochopiti, proe Neil McLennan si razem oblibil jitni udali Bosque. Vlnici se poloha a vrchy ptipominaly mu jeho mladi ve,Skotsku, adoli nabizelo hojnost travy k 'pastve dobytka a arodne nitiny slibovaly bohate ftrody kukutice.

Teprve az v roku 1845 doSlo k ptipojeni Texasu do Unie a pomery se utvatily tak, ae McLennan rozhodl se ptestehovati rodinu severne od Bosque.

V kvelmu tehdZ roku Neil se dvema syny a George Erathem vydali se do Torreys' obchodu, zarnfglejice pokradovat ye vymetovani. Na teto vYrnenne stanici byl velkY poeet Indiana, kteti protestovali, aby se vyinetovalo, jelikok" pry tarnnejSi oblast ptijde zpet do vlastnictvi rodiny McLennanovy. Jeden Indian tekl o sobe, ze vla.stni nejaky majetek, diky jeho strYci Neilovi. Tento hospodatil na pozastalosi Johnova otce — pozemek i dobytek — a skuteene vlastnil majetek v eerie $4,000 — na tuto dobu shOny obnos.

V roku 1848 ddglo k navSteve Indiana fanny McLennanovy, jeZ mohla skoneiti tragedii. Koeujici tlupa malem tisice Cornancha vrhla se na dobytek a kornu stareho Neilla. Zabijeli dobytek a vrhali se na uloknou kornu. McLennanovi vyslali starou eernoAu se zpravou kapitanu S. P. Rossovi, ktery se svymi rankry byl nedaleko.

Ve stledu, dne 23. listopadu 1949. has been designated as a farm to market road connecting with that portion in Gonzales County, which at present is being worked on, to be made into a farm to market road and, therefore, when that portion of the road that is in Lavaca County is converted into a Farm to Market road, this school building will be located on a highway between Moulton and Gonzales, and therefore several attempts were made by the writer and others to work out some plan at the lodge meeting, but this was blocked, whereby we could buy this school and land from the Moulton Independent School District. Finally, notices were mailed to all members of these two lodges, whose names addresses w e r e available, to meet in Moulton and to work out something. The greater part of the members were in favor of acquiring this school to convert it into a recreation center. A committee of volunteers agreed to make a survey of the members if they desire to invest some of their money into the project and also to look over the school building and submit a written sealed bid to the Moulton Independent School district. This was done and the trustees have awarded the building and lands to us as soon as the bids are approved by the State Board of Education, a deed will be given in the name of White's Live Oak Center, under which the members of the local lodge will operate this recreation center.

There has been quite a bit of confusion in regards to this project and therefore the writer wishes to allay the minds of some of the members in our lodge. The above stated recreation center, although owned by the SPJST members will be entirely SEPARATE fro Pokrok Moulton Lodge and therefore will not conflict with the lodge affairs. There is a possibility that these two organizations will merge but not until every members or greater majority of them so desire.

Membership in this recreation venture is primarily for the members of the Pokrok Moulton Lodge and also for members who may belong to other lodges (SPJST) in our neighborhood, as well as any who may reside outside of our community, who desire to become members. There has been made provision in our Articles of Association, that such worthy persons who are not members f the SPJST, and who desire to become members, may apply for membership and if their membership is approved by 2/3 majority of the Board they may become members. At present, the Board of Directors consists of John V. Havlik, Willie Mikulencak, Emil Darilek, Sr. Ad. Dlouhy, August Fojtik, Frail V. Krejci and the writer. The Board of Directors selected

V t STNIK WEST, TEXAS

the writer as president and Emil V. Krejci, Secretary, John V. Havlik as VicePresident and Emil Darilek, Sr. as treasurer. There are two vacancies on the Board of Directors to be filled as yet.

We are endeavoring to contact every member of the two combined lodges and giving them a chance to enroll as members in this recreation center but if some member hasn't been contacted and would desire to enroll, he is urgently urged to contact any of the above stated men, who will gladly explain the program to them and accept their payment for shares in the recreation center. If someone distant would like to enroll as a member in the recreation center, it is urged that they contact any of the above stated men, whose addresses are Moulton, Texas.

The plans for the recreation center have been formulated subject to being amended by the members at a meeting to be held in the future. It is planned to turn one-half of the present building into a grocery store, consisting of a lunch counter, such merchandise as may be required to take care of the trade that may be created, also such brands of beers as may be needed, this beer to be kept cold at all times; and also plans are to install some gasoline pumps, for the sale of gasoline etc. In the other half, a clubroom is to be equipped, such equipment being used t hat can be secured. It is planned that along side of the present building, we will construct an addition, in which we will house a two-alley bowling alley. Some kind of a platform is comtemplated oil which our children could skate safely as well dance if they so desire. A picnic ground will be created, which will be wired for lights with tables and benches. Also a barbecue pit would be constructed. AIL in all, we are desirous to make this into one of the best recreation centers in this part of the country.

Sokol Houston "NazdaC—First of all I must thank those of you who attended SokolS last play, "Green Blood." The attendance was far more than expected. The kitchen served goulash that was just so-verygood, we could have sold once as much had we had it. Pavelka's Orchestra, who played for the dance made a hit with the public, as everyone remarked how much they enjoyed the music: It was

Strana 21

just that kind of music that we Czechs like to dance and listen to.

We are now going to give you "Vesnieka pod 8umavou" on Nov. 27th, which will be in costume and with songs. It is one of the outstanding plays of the season, and no one should miss seeing it. Demands are already coming in from surrounding Czech communities wanting to book us for this play. Just think, this is even before we have put on our performance in Houston.

A tasty su pper will be served after the play. As for later entertainment there will be Bingo, cards, or dominoes; you may have your choice.

Remember we will meet you the afternoon 0! November 27th, in the "Village at the Foot of the 8uniava Mountains," (Vesnieka pod 8 umavou).

odge Pokrok No. 88 The dramatic club "Hlahol" got off to a very good start for the opening season: first—with a very good play, and second —with a capacity crowd. That's the way we like to see it. The actors put forth a lot of time and effort going to rehearsals almost every other night for songs and dialogue. Mr. Sefcik and I really appreciate their efforts, for good actors are very scarce and hard to find and time and again the same ones have to be called upon. However : with the help of constructive criticism, which we both appreciate •and the faithfulness of our hardWorking members, and despite the shortage of actors and some uninformed and prejudiced criticism, which we must expect in any lodge or organization, our club has progressed and attained a very high goal. May it continue on its way upward. We travelled quite extensively this year and wherever we played, we were treated wonderfully. We enjoyed playing for the people in the small towns, because they were sa appreciative. They sat there so quietly listening for every precious word that the actor uttered, and the actor sensed that, therefore he gave forth cf the very best that was in him.

Our sincere thanks to all the people of those towns for such a splendid attendance.

Our club had the nice pleasure of attending a "bingo" party that was given in the Carnation Co. clubroom by the Czech Club of the University of Houston.

Dr. J. M. Skrivanek, professor of Slavic languages, introduced us t o his students, and we were happy to know there were so many learning the Czech language.

Maybe we could call upon. some of them to take part in our plays. We were very

sorry that we could not stay longer, bvt a rehearsal was awaiting us, so our time was limited. Perhaps next time we shall get to stay longer. We enjoyed ourselves very much and wish to congrat ulate Dr. Skrivanek on his very fine Czech Club.

Christmas is just around corner and that means that we shall soon have to work out a Christmas program. For the past few years we have been having our program on the Sunday before Christmas and as it falls on a Sunday this year, we shall have cur program a week before Christmas (Dec. 13) It will be free and will start about 4:00 p. m.

Our Birthday Club met on the 9th of November and there was quite a nice attendance and an assurance of sonic new members for next year. We will have another free dinner in December and will have turkey with all the "trimmins" We will have had 5 free dinners this year and Mrs. Hilsher, our club president, said that there will be enough left over in the fund for another, which we will carry over into the first part of next year. Mr. Alfred Hilsher, vicepresident cf our lodge, gave us a free turkey dinner this month and it was simply delicious—thanks to him and to the wonderful cooks. Mrs. Josephine Buil, Mrs. Betty Elshick, Mrs. Marie Temple, and Mrs. Mae Belle Schutte baked the turkey and Mrs. Harms and Mrs. Walla took care of the pastry. The honorees table was decorated with a yellow paper cloth and at each end were candleholders with lighted orange tapers.

The centerpiece was a Hallowe'en Cat and 2 turkeys made of apple and cranberries. They were all made by Mrs. Walla. Happy Birthday was sung to Mrs. Marie Rezek, Mrs. Albina Forai, Mrs. Ara Skrabanek and Mrs. Mary Elzner. They received many beautiful gifts.

Her suggestion, expressed in the second paragraph of her letter, is worth to be given serious consideration. Miss Elsie Dobesh and Miss Elsie Dvorak used to take part in the Czech plays. They were loaded with ' studies the Same as you are now. Mrs. Earl's idea is very good.) ) • +T•

Bureaucracy De Luxe Our Czech immigrant had a name for it, "official stallion." Here we call it "red tape," or in the new version "snafu."

A typical example of it was reported in thr U. S. News.

One American official has discovered that it's a lot harder to get off the U. S. pay roll than it is to get on. It has taken him two years to convince the U. S. Treasury in Washington that he shouldn't be getting three pay checks, from three different Government departments, every pay day.

The confusion started when Oliver Smith (which is not his real name) came to Vienna as a civilian expert for U. S. Military Government. It was his job to help straighten out Austria's eco-'

noiny. Until recently, however, he has been a good deal busier trying to straighten out his own.

Smith's first check, after his arrival in Vienna, came from the U. S. Department of State. Smith thought he was working for the U. S. Army. Still, the amount was right and it all came out of the same pot, so it seemed sensible to ignore the error.

A few days later, however, his wife in Washington wrote that a salary check had been deposited to his account in a Washin gton bank by the United States Department of Commerce. Up to that moment, it had not occurred to Smith that the Department of Commerce owned him any money. Perhaps, he wrote to his wife, the pay-roll people had got things mixed. He knew it would lead to trouble to receive more than one salary at a time from the U. S. Government.

Her reply two cr three weeks later coincided with another pay day in Vienna. This time Smith got two checks, each for the full amount of his salary.

One check came from the State Department, the other from the Army. His wife's letter reported that the Commerce Department had also deposited another check to his account.

As far straightening things out with the' Commerce Department, his wife said, it seemed difficult to do. Perhaps it was because her broken English—she is a native of France--made it hard for the Commerce officials to understand what she was driving at. In any event, a young lady in the stone building on Fourteenth Street said that Mr. Smith was definitely on the Commerce pay roll, therefore had to be paid. She, as a payroll clerk, would be negligent if she failed to make out the check.

By this time, Oliver Smith began to feel that he was really tangled up in the vast disbursing machine of the United States Government. He had visions of ending his Government service in jail.

There was, too, the income tax law.

At the close of the year, three Government departments—State, Army, Commerce—would turn -over to the Bureau of Internal Revemie a statement of salary paid to, and income withheld from, one Oliver Smith. When these three statements hit the income tax collector, NOTICE! All News for the English Section should be sent directly to: Associate Editor, 6402 Prague Street, Houston 7, Texas.

0....111011.910•1,

Ve sti'edu, dne 23. listopadu 1949. anything might happen. And the tax on hree salaries, when added together, might be upsetting.

In desperation, Smith then began action on two fronts. In Vienna, he tackled the disbursing officers of both the State Department and the U. S. Army. By urgent air mail, then by cable, he instructed Mrs. Smith to have a showdown with the pay-roll section of the Commerce Department in Washington.

Smith's Vienna offensive was more immediately successful than Mrs. Smith's attack on Washington. It took him only five interviews with State Department men in Vienna to convince them that something was wrong. They agreed to stop sending him salary checks.

It took Mrs. Smith longer in Washington. For a while she couldn't find any official who felt he had authority to do anything about Mr. Smith's salary. She was passed up and down the line for more interviews than she cares to remember.

Her campaign began to get somewhere when she discovered the origin of the extra salary checks. They traced back to the fact that Smith had worked for the Foreign Economic Administration during the war. At the end of the war the FEA was dissolved, and pieces of it were distributed to the State, Army and Commerce departments. Somehow, when Smith went abroad, his name appeared on the pay rolls of all three departments.

With that information, Mrs. Smith was able to persuade the Commerce Department to stop sending pay checks.

Smith's troubles, however, were far from over. He still had $2,100 in his bank account that didn't belong to him.

He had somehow to get this money back to the United States Treasury, and get the record straight.

This was easier said than done. Mrs. Smith's visits to officials in Washington were unsuccessful. Either they said the matter was outside their jurisdiction, or they warned her that the problem was forbiddingly complicated. Each department had deducted sums for Smith's income tax, his retirement plan and the like. Unsnarling all this meant a terrific' job of bookkeeping. She could find no one willing to undertake it.

Smith's own efforts to make the Government take back $2,100, as a matter of fact, succeeded only the other day.

He finally managed it, after building up a correspondente file a foot high, by arousing the interest of an obscure official of the Treasury Department in Washington, The U. S. Treasury finally said it was willing to accept a check from Smith for $2,100. By then, two years had passed since Smith first found

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS himself on the three Government pay rolls.

Smith is now about through with his job in Vienna. He has been asked to take another Government job in Paris. But he isn't sure. He keeps thinking of what might happen in moving from Vienna to Paris.

ounds You Can't Hear The International News Service released the other day a news item that sound waves soon may wash clothes without moving them; age whiskey five years in three hours; kill bacteria in foods and medicine after they are packed; massage internal molecules in humans to cure diseases like arthritis; pasteurize milk without heat, so without loss of taste.

A good many scientists, at the moment, are busily finding jobs for sounds that no one has ever heard. Called "silent" sounds—because they are too high-pitched for the human ear to hear—these high-frequency vibrations are, being harnessed by science to do such amazing things as homogenize milk, mix medicines and paints, sterilize foods, repel pests, kill germs, dispel fog and wash clothes. They even show some promise, according to recent reports from the famed Mayo Institute, of providing a medical weapon that not only will detect cancer but treat it!

At best, the most keen-eared of us hears only a fraction of the many noises that fill the air. There is a whole weird world of sounds beyond our hearing.

The human hearing system is arranged that way—it responds only to the relatively low-pitched sounds—and perhaps it is just as well. If it were otherwise, we never would know the meaning of that golden word "silence." What to our ears is soothing quiet actually is a nervewracking din. What we revel in as the relaxing calm of a summer countryside in reality is shattered with the incessant babble of millions of insects. All these sounds are around us but we fail to hear them. To us humans, they are truly "silent" sounds and it is man-made inaudible sounds of this general type that the scientists are now applying to practical everyday uses.

In the technical language of the physicist, a sound is the result of vibrations series of waves—in the air. These waves can be caused by a vibrating member like a reed or a wire string, by a pulsating column of air, or by some sort of oscillating diaphragm such as the head of a drum.

A sound's pitch—or its position in the scale of sounds—is determined by its

Btrana 23 frequency or the number of waves a second required to produce it. The fewer the number of vibrations a second, the lower the sound's pitch; the greater the number of vibrations, the higher the pitch.

Theoretically, the scale of possible sounds is unlimited, ranging from the sound caused by the smallest possible fraction of a wave a second to sound with a frequency of many millions of waves. The human ear, however, responds only to a relatively narrow segment of this br6ad sound spectrum.

Normally, we hear only, those sounds that have frequencies somewhere in the range between about 16 waves a second (the lowest bass note on a large organ) and 18,000 waves a second (a sound pitched about five times higher than the highest note on your piano.) Beyond this upper audible limit is the world of the "silent" sounds—the sounds we never hear. Scientists have dubbed it the realm of "ultrasonics" or "supersonics."

Although silent sounds are a comparatively new scientific tool, they are rapidly being put to use in industry and mediiine. For one thing, supersounds are fairly easy to produce. They can be generated in a number of ways—either mechanically by a high-speed supersiren similar in basic !construction to the siren on your local fire engine, or by an electrically vibrated source, which may be a Towerful electromagnet not unlike the working innards of your telephone receiver or a quartz crystal that contracts and expands rapidly when subjected to high-frequency electrical impulses. Actually, anything that can be made to vibrate very rapidly can be used to produce silent sounds.

All sounds represent energy, but silent sounds, because their vibrations or waves come in rapid-fire order, are concentrated pellets of power that can be utilized in a number of ways. They can be focused to produce heat or violent vibrations, or they can be beamed radarlike to seek out the inner secrets hidden inside metals, plastics and even human tissue.

Among the top ultrasonic pioneers in the United States is a group of experimenters at the Pennsylvania State College in central Pennsylvania. Their sueersound generator, of the siren type, has been responsible for many of the basic explorations into the world of ultrasonics. When visitors are around, its builders enjoy demonstrating some of the powers of silent sounds. With the siren whirling at high speed and literally chopping out a silent sound, one of the experimenters will hold a piece of steel wool in the sound's path. Almost instantly it bursts into sparkling flame.

Btrana 24

There's no magic about this action.

The supersonic vibrations simply set the particles of steel wool in motion and resulting friction prOduces a rise n temperature. Water placed in the sound beam boils. Insects exposed to the intense vibrations are shattered. Marbles placed over the siren's throat actually float in the sound beam, like the familiar balls that bob around on top of water in amusement-park shooting galleries. These are only spectacular laboratory demonstrations to be sure, but they demonstrate the usable power of high-frequency sounds.

Industrially, one of their most widespread uses, at the moment, is as a mean of detecting flaws and internal fatigue points in large metal parts. When directed toward a piece of metal, silent sounds bounce off, or are absorbed, according to a definite pattern that is related to the metal's hardness and density. - Any flaws that are present within the metal reveal themselves by altering the reflected path of the highfrequency sounds. An operator, watching ab dial or an electronic screen similar to that in a television set, can tell at a glance whether the piece of metal he is testing is flawless or contains weakening hidden faults that make it unfit for use. Such ultrasonic metal testers, now being manufactured by a number of well-known concerns including the General Electric Company, save invaluable inspection time in railroad locomotive repair shops and large shipyards. With silent sounds, large metal parts such as axles, drive shafts, and chankpins can be checked easily and quickly for internal wear and tear without removing them from place.

By harnessing this same radarlike quality of supersounds an directing them against the human body, Drs. J. F. Herrick and E. J. Blades of the Mayo Institute for Experimental Medicine recently reported the possibility of detecting human flaws in the form of cancer.

Cancerous tissue, they have found, acts just like the flaw in a metal part, reflecting the silent sounds to produce a detectable "echo" and indicating the presence of a malignant growth!

By stepping up the power of their high-frequency sounds and focusing them to knifelike point, these same doctors also have been repeatedly suc•essful in shattering cancerous growths by blasting them apart cell by cell. So far, these experiments have been limited to laboratories, but the results are extremely encouraging. They show that knifeless surgery with silent sounds is a distinct possibility.

The same idea also is being explored

V2STNIX— WEST, TEXAS

by two staff members of Columbia University's Neurological Institute in New York City as an aid in performing delicate brain operations. Although their experiments too have, up to the present, only been performed in laboratories, the technique is such that it could be applied to humans. By directing a powerful, focused sound beam at an unopened skull they have been able to destroy any part of the brain tissue they desired—a fact that would seem t) indicate that supersounds might eventually replace the surgeon's scalpel and trepanning saw in performing a prefrontal leucotomy (the removal of the foreword lobes of the brain) on a human to relieve certain types of insanity.

Naturally, these amazing medical uses of silent sounds are still very much in the experimental laboratory stage.

Never,4 theless, the same principles of employing their power already have many actual and practical applications in science and industry.

Have you ever tried to mix oil and water so they will stay mixed? It's an almost impassible feat, even with the best imichanlical mixers, yet silent sounds can do it! Their high-frequency vibrations easily break down the globules of any pair of hard-to-mix liquids and blend them into a smooth mixture.

As a result, paint manufacturers see in supersounds a means of producing permanently mixed ,paints that will require no further stirring no matter how long they remain on a paint dealer's shelf, food processors recognize the possibilities of using the mass supermixers for turning out supersmcoth salad dressings that won't settle out, and drug companies are experimenting with the mixing of medicines that you no longer will have to "shake well before using."

Silent sounds already are being used to homogenize milk in a number of large, dairies. Milk made to flow over metal plates or diaphragms vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies is jolted so hard and fast that the individual droplets of fat are disintegrated to form a homogeneous easily digested fluid. SD intense can the action of the supersounds be made, as a matter of fact, that they can be used to pasteurize milk. Ordinary high-intensity heat—the conventional Pasteur process—requires hours co lower the bacterial count of milk to a safe level. Silent sounds do a better job in a matter of seconds.

The bacteria-killing qualities of silent sounds have endless possibilities in the broad field of food sterilization. Pioneering sound experts see them as a means of killing the harmful spoiling bacteria in solid as well as liquid foods.

Once man succeeds in killing all the

Ve sti'edu, dne 23. listopadu 1949. bacteria in a food—and silent sound comes closer to doing it than any other preserving method—that food will last almost indefinitely without spoiling.

Milk, for instance, could be kept without refrigeration.

Other practical uses for high-frequency sounds are being tried in the food and drink industries. Silent sounds, agricultural experts have found, rid processed flour of harmful weevils and genus, Brewers and distillers testing the possibilities of ultrasonics have found that a short exposure to sound waves speeds up the ageing of whiskey —a normal four-year ageing period being telescoped into a matter of a few minutes: According to sound engineers, the possible uses of silent sounds are just about endless. Not long ago, a Texas manufacturer of carbon black, an important ingredient in many industrial processes, wondered if supersounds might not help him to speed up his production. He took his problem to the Ultrasonics Corporation, manufacturers of high-frequency sound generators located in Boston. Today, in a pilot plant, a large sound generator mounted at the base of a large chimney at the Texas factory sets up sound waves that literally shake the carbon, particles loose from the flue gasses. They fall like large flakes of black snow to be collected and sold as carbon black.

In much the same way, silent sounds can wring the soot out of the air. They even can change fog into rain by shaking the tiny fog droplets so hard that they join together to form larger drops that fall as rain. Out near Arcata, California, one of the foggiest regions in the United States, sound scientists are experimenting with this system as a means of clearing airports of fog.

When civilian sound experts and U. S. Navy technicians first tried their fogdispelling noisemaker its tone was too close to the audible level of the average person's hearing. The giant siren succeeded in getting rid of '-he fog over the test airport but neighbors with sensitive ears complained. At the moment, a larger more powerful siren that will produce sounds well within the silent range is being constructed. If its tests are successful and completely silent, a supersoundmaker may well become standard equipment at civilian and military airports for use during foggy weather.

A silent-sound household gadget that will keep your home free of insects and mice also is a definite future possibility.

Experimenters with supersounds have found that ultrasonic waves act as a sure-fire repellent against household

ye stredu, dne 23. listopadu 1949. pests—insects, like flies and roaches, just don't like the sound of silent sounds, because unlike humans they can heap them. The same appears to be the ease' with rats and mice. It is not stretching things too far, according to many of the experts, to predict that it probably won't be too long•before we will he able to buy a portable silent-sound generator housed in a little black box about the size of a able radio, plug it into a wall socket and keep our homes completely pest-free. As Dr. Hubert Frings, who has been experimenting along these lines at Pennsylvania State 'College, puts it, "Confidentially, the Pied Pipe;:' of Hamelin may have been on the beam with his ultrasonic flute."

But if these silent sounds can kill germs and insects, whot about their effects on humans? Might they not, after prolonged exposure, cause some gradual breaking down of human tissue or perhaps internal injuries?

All the answers are net yet known, but scientists are seeking them. They are not particularly Worried about any ill effects that might come from the industrial or medical uses of silent sounds. In those applications the sounds can be controlled and the operating personnel can be protected if necessary.

What they are concerned about is the possibility that the silent sounds hidden in the blast of a jet engine may have some effect on the grOund crews and pilots working with supersonic airplanes.

Many cases of dizziness—aviation medical men have dubbed it "supersonic sickness"—have been reported by workers in laboratories and test pits where jet engines are run for long periods.

From aircraft factories in England have come reports of ear troubles and fatigue among jet-engine test engineers. Similar reports have been made in Canada and the United States. Laboratory men working around ultrasonic generators also have complained of odd sensations while the equipment is in operation.

Whether these symptoms of "sound sickness" are real or perhaps imagined no one knows. So far, however, 'there is no definite evidence to show that there are any lasting bad effects that can be traced to the silent sounds from a jet engine or to those that come from a silent-sound generator. Experimenters in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States are working hard to come up with a definite answer. The RCAF Institute of Aviation Medicine in Toronto is invesAigating alleged "illness,' arising out of ultrasounds in jet engines.

MeanWhile, experts of the National Research Council of Canada and of

8trana 25

V t 8 TNiK WEST, TEXAS other similar research groups throughout the world are pushing deeper ind deeper into the broad frontiero of sound, audible as well as inaudible. Inventors are busily suggesting all manner of new applications for the "sounds that can't be heard" ranging from silentsound "vacuum" cleaners that will literally shake the dust out of carpets and draperies to ultrasonic dental drills that work so fast that they cause little pain.

Opposite the inventors are the industrialists who hope that silent sounds will solve many of their production problems. Their requests range from equipment for use in metallurgy to a supersiren that might successfully combat the bacteria that attack paper atock in Canadian paper mil ls One owner of a large duck farm recenly contracted a sound engineer in the hope that silent sounds might provide a good way of defeatherin g ducks for market.

As outlandish as some of these suggestions seem, silent-sound experts are hesitant to laugh them off. Ultrasonic research is a relatively new field in which just about anything is possible.

The use' of supersounds are growing day by day. ) • 4 • (

Cancer and New Discoveries of Cure Quick cure for cancer is not at hand.

There are new discoveries which mean that new ways have been found to reduce the victims of the disease, but there is nothing to indicate complete victory— yet.

Physicians, for example, still cannot give you a sure blood test to determine whether a small, hidden cancer is present. There is no thoroughly tested known drug or chemical that will destroy cancer without destruction of other tissues and consequent injury to the patient.

Yet plain facts on results of latest experiments in testing for cancer, and for controlling cancer growth, are highly encouraging to researchers in this field.

Origin of cancer remains a great mystery, however. Little is known about its basic nature. Physicians do know that cancer is not inherited, but that people inherit a degree of susceptibility to it.

They know that some types of cancer are produced by excessive exposure to Xray, for example, and by certain chemicals. ' New knowledge about possible causes is flowing in faster than ever before from laboratories and clinics.

Testing for cancer remains a complicated, not altogether certain process except in advanced cases. The average, apparently health person who wants to

find out if he has any trace of cancer cannot now obtain a quick, cheap test as effective as the X-ray test for tuberculosis, for instance. A sure mass-production test still is only a dream and a goal for cancer specialists. But they have new and promising leads.

People in many cities can be examined for cancer at detection centers and clinics, for a fee usually under $15, or for nothing if indigent. There are 240 detection centers, and several hundred clinics, usually in city hospitals. Only four detection centers are located in cities under 50,000 population. Waiting time for appointments varies from a week to four months.

American Cancer Society officials say at least 20,000 centers are needed for a good early cancer-detection service.

People with cancer will find, despite all the new discoveries, that physicians still rely on surgery, Xray and radium for cancer cures. But successes with chemicals are spurring efforts by medical men to find drugs that are safe and effective against cancer.

Guanazolo is the latest find. Guanazolo is a chemical substance used by Dr. George W. Kidder, a biology professor at Amherst College. When Guanazolo was injected in mice with cancers, the cancers stopped growing. When Guanazolo injections stopped, the cancers grew again. Scientists say this may indicate a crucial chemical difference between cancer cells and normal cells. They have searched for many years for such a difference.

Podophyllin, extracted from the May apple, and three derivatives of podophyllin, and about 60 other substances also are found to retard cancer growth in mice. These substances are being investigated by scientists at the National Cancer Institute, U. S. Public Health Service. Experiments already have involved more than 1,000 chemicals, yet the search is just beginning.

Discoveries of new chemicals are highly important milestones in research. But the Kidder experiments are considered scanty. Podophyllin and its extracts are poisonous. Months, maybe years, are expected to pass before investigators are sure that some of these new chemicals can be applied safely to numan cancers.

Neruda o vYznaenem eeskem dramatiku V. K. Klicperovi, kter obohatil ileskou dramatickou literaturu o 75 her, z nichZ" nektere se podnes tCii oblibe divadelniho obecenstva a ochotnikil doma i mezi krajany v zahraniei.

V. K. Klicpera se narodil 23. listopadu 1792 v Chlumci nad Cidlinou. V rodnem meste ueil se teznikem, ale mel k kemeslu, ktere mu vybral otec, nechut' a odpor. Rid by studoval. Nebylo viak penez. Piece viak, v 16 letech. dosatil sveho ptani a prichazi na pra2ske gymnasium. Od tud pak na fllosolickou fakultu Karlovy university. Vydelava si na studie kondicemi a venuje se psani. V 19 letech uvede prvni dramatickou pohadku Blanik a v 25 letech pik tii veselohry, ktere patSi k jeho nejlepS1rn pracem. Jsou to: DivotvornY klobouk, Rohovin etverrohY a Hadrian z RImsu. Klicpera vynika i jako herec a reditelstvi nemeckeho stavovskeho divadla v Praze mu nabizi misto. Klicpera viak neprijal, "chteje v prvni fade znstati eeskYm basnikem dramatickYm." A svemu ptedsevzeti zfistal veren a Z s do sve smrti — 15. zati 1859.

'Vaclav Kliment Klicpera je zakiadatelem Ceske narodni veselohry a i tim vynikl daleko nad sve soueasniky, ie psal i historicke hry ptivodni, obrazy z CeskYch dejin, vesele i vaZne, a neobracel se podle tehdejiiho zvyku k cizim vzortim. Doba jeho einnosti v Cesitem divadelnictvi nazYva se pinYm pravem dobou Klicperovon.
