PAMATUJ GOLIAD! OLIAD jest daletite v letopisech historie Texasu pro stejne ptieiny jako Alamo. Bylo tomu na techto dvou mistech, kde byli obetovany tivoty mladYCh, dobrodrutstvi milujicic.h muta co °bet odvekSrm idealam svobody.

Vypravovani o Alamo je znamo vAeobechrdinnY boj u Goliad neni uz tak ye znamosti jak by si zasluhoval.

V La Bahia Presidion nechal zasttelit Santa Anna plukovnika Fannina a jeho tti sta muta na okraji pro ne vykopanYch hroba. Goliad bylo jedno ze tri hlavnich bitev v texaske valce za neodvislost od Mexika a stejne jak pH Alamo, Mexieane men ptevahu i v Goliad. Texan y bojovali udatne net se vzdali v dobre Tali. Santa Anna krveladne nechal je postfilet jak stall v fade pied vykopanYmi hroby. Tento ohavny ain nebyl zapomenut vojiny, kteti pokraeovali v zoufalem boji za neodvislost; proto bitevnim heslem u San Jacinto, kde dobyto svobody Texasu, bylo: Pamatuj Alamo! Pamatuj Goliad!

Adkoli historie Goliad vyvrcholila bitvou plukovnika Fannina a jeho muta, jeji koteny byly v jinem miste a v roku 1721. Tehdy Spanele zalotili presidio de Santa Maria del Loreto de la .Bahia na pozemku pevntistky francouzskeho badatele La Salle poblite Matagorda zalivu. .Zde vznikl nazev La Bahia (the bay).

Presidio bylo vystaveno k ochrane proti motnemu vetteni se Francouza do rnissie Espiritu Santo do Zaniga, zalotene tehot roku mistokralem Mexika k poktest'andni Karakawa Indiana. V roce 1728 missie a presidio byly ptestehovany poblit Victoria a v rode 1749 do Goliad.

MniSi opatrovali auto usedlost a zkoufarmatiti, net zanechali toho pro nemotnost pfidu zavodriovati a take nasledkem neklidnch uddlosti — venovali se tehdy chovu dobytka. Pavodni fieel missie nebyl zapomenut a My se pokusy obratit na ktest'anstvi karankawany a jine kmeny. V stejne dobe vlastnictvi pozemku dosahovalo obrovske rozlohy a tadna, jina missie nevlastnila tolik pozemku ani

po-

etu hlav dobytka jak tato.

Leta od 1729 do 1835 nebyla naprosto klidna. Daly se putky slov i zbrani mezi Texany, Mexioany a Indiany, net po vet'Sine historie tohoto adobi jest bez vsrznamnej'Si uddlosti.

(Z portistalosti.)

Mexiko ovSem, trpici nezdatenYm a pteddasnYm pokusem o demokracii, podlehlo dychtivemu diktatorstvi generala Santa Anna. Platilo vysokou cenu za ;svoje dodasne pohodli, jetto nasledovne ztratilo polovinu sveho azemi a ziskalo trpkou povest za zradu, krutost a naprostou nespolehlivost. Texas v to same dobe pasil o vymaneni se z atlaku a za pray() na svobodnou neodvislou vladu; v gak jeho vlastni vadcove stall v testa protote, jak ut Po veky stara, skuteenost ukazuje, nemohli ci nechteli zanechati osobni visti, p •edsudka a cila ye prospech v8eobecneho dobra.

Situace vytvotila bohate pole pro dobrodrutstvi a zpravy o velkjich, divol4ch a vzruS'ujicich uddlostech v Texasu kaly stovky mladS7ch muta ze Spoj. stata.

Tito ptiSli ze v'Sech stata Unie dychtice po dobrodrutstvi aneb ptiletitosti bojovat za ideal. Historici p •avi o teto dobe, ze muti bojujici u Goliad byli neobyeejne vysoke inteligence, pozadi a chovani.

Santa Anna povatoval Texas za pfidu Mexika a kdyt vpadl do Texasu vydal rozkaz, dle nejt cizinci zajati -v boji budou zastieleni co pirati. Opomenul vziti v

vahu rozdil mezi citenim Ameridanii vadi zapasu Texana za neodvislost (demut Americana rozumeli dle zkuSenosti) a jejich citeni ohledne neopravneneho fitoku na mesto v fizemi Mexika. Kdyt mexieti vojini u Goliad posticileli mute, vzdaVgi se v dobre van, vSrbuSna ulna sympatie zaplavila celou zemi. Od teto chvile byl Texas ujiSten naprostou pomoci mutstvem i penezi od Spoj. stata, pottebnSrch k dosateni viterstvi. Vzrast Texasu co republiky a pozdeji co statu postoupil do miry, jet by nebyla =Ana, kdyby Santa Anna byl projevil vice soudnosti a plukovnika Fannina jeho mute byl zajal nikoli nechal popravit.

Proto do drieaka Goliad tije v myslich Texant co symbol idealti bojovnikii za svobodu Texasu a 'Mil se hnuti, ueiniti ho citelnej:Sim a vice pfitatlivej gim synibolem.

V roku 1936 byla Espiritu Santo Mission opravena a dnes je sttedem zajmu v statnim parku rozlohy 230 akrii na silnici mezi Goliad a rekou San Antonio. Missic sdili zajem vefejnosti s malYm museum, napinenem vzacnSrmi pamatkami jako dokumenty Confederace, bankovky, ruenice, nabytek, gpanelske delo, velkY medeny lihovar, a piivodni dvefe z dve sta let stareho La Bahia Presidiu.

V roku 1941 obdanskY pamatkovy klub okraslil cely park a statni parkovni raft dala provest dalti zvelebeni. Byly uz vypracovany plany na opravu budov, jet doposud zustaly v chatrajicim stavu a k opat •eni vYchovnYchajinYch zakizeni pro S'kolaky i vetejnost. ) Davera je nejmocriej gim elnitelem lidskem Zivote. Je v ni nejenom motna sila, ale i kouzlo, ktere ovliviluje lidske povahy. Jste-li napineni dtverou, prospivate i sami sobe. Jste spokojenejv katdem svem jednani. Match daveru v jine, mate ji i v sebe, a kdo ph* drivetuje svSrm silam a moinostem, setkava se s aspechem v kaldem svem sna'icni a podnikani.

Tu stavbu teprve pokoleni nasledujici dokoneilo. V dobe nejvetgiho hmotneho stradani, choroby a mateeske bolesti nad ztratou synovou, vyvolala fadu vzpominek na sve detstvi v pohorskem koute za Nachodem v ec,laach. Tak vznikla Babieka, rozko gna kniha vzpominek, lidovych zvyku, disteho deskeho dechu, jadrna, a radostna. I ostatni povidky: Pohorska vesnice, Dive.

Duleiite jsou dopisy Boteny Nemcove, bolestne pravdlie, snad nejhlubgi dilo jake napsala, tieba nevedomky, dilo sveho bolestiveho tivota.

Revoluce v kloubouCnictvi. Vice nei dve stoleti byla vYroba muiskYch klobouka v Unii sousteedena ye statech novoanglickYch nee v dobe posledni situate se rychle zinenila diky texaske praci a udelivosti. Peedseda firmy Resistol "Sel'Conforming" kloboukt1 v Garland nedaleko Dallas — Harry Rolnick — pei gel do Texasu Peed 32 roky s myglenkou peevratit tento prfirnysl, col' se mu s texaskymi delniky, kteii o takove vYrobe nemeli poneti, podafilo neb vybudoval vYznadnou kloboultarnu na jihu, jejit vYrobky doznaly nejlep gi povesti v cele Americe.

Harry Rolnick dojel do Dallas pied prvni svetovou valkou co 17 let mladik, co vyudenY obnovitel klobouka. Pracoval tarn nejakY eas v dilne na obnovu klobouka a na to stal se keditelem eetezove prodejny klobouka, za nejaky das teditelem vgech prodejen. V tomto postaveni peiblaila, se peileiitost uskuteenit jeho odhodlani vyrabet klobouky a skutedne podatilo se mu zalotiti tovarnieku na klobouky. V roce 1929 obchodnik na odpoeinku E. R. Byer tugil aspech vYroby kloboukii v Texasu a nabidnul svoji adast Harry Rolnickovi, zalogena byla Byer-Rolnick spoleenost, je 2- byla pozdeji peemenena na proslulou firmu Resistol. Novy podnik mel dostatek inistriosti a zdravy finaneni podklad; Rolnick ptedevSim venoval pedi vYberu delnikt. Vettina teditela novYch podniv Texasu by zcela pochopitelne zajela si do novoanglickych prinnyslovYch statt a tam vyhledala zapracovane delniky.

Rolnick jednal dle tehdy i dnes osvojene myglenky, "nepiijimejte stare zpasoby, nalezejte nove a lep gi", protole vYrobky vyrabene po dobu padesat ei sto let daji se dneAkem vyrabet lepe, rychleji a lacineu. Bosy farmafsky synek z vychodniho Texasu — L. A. Paul — dostal praci v

VESTNIK— WEST, 'TEXAS kloboukarne, po case stal se dilovedoucim a dnes je hlavnim rsditelem. Rolnick postupova.1 v zamilovanem podnikani stale vpfed a novYmi cestami. Muti mnoho let stetovali si na to, ze jim nove klobouky nepadnou jak by mely. A zcela pravem, protote po dobu sta roku mutske klobouky vyrabely se na "jedno kopyto" adkoli nenajdou se d ye naprosto stejne hlavy.

Harry Rolnick uminil si tuto vgeobecne uznavanou vadu peekonati, co2 se mu po delgim Usili s vYpomoci delnika zdatilo.

VYsledek byl novY klobouk self-conforming (dobie padnouci). Dal si svaj vynalez patentovati a Resistol klobouk zaiadil se mezi nejlep gi muZske klobouky v Americe. V roku 1939 radci Beyer a Rolnick spolednosti odporueili mesteeko Garland za misto pro zbudovani nove a vet gi kloboukarny. Nekteti dalla gti pramyslnici se nad touto zpravou polastavili: tovarna v mesteeku se 1200 obyvateli, Zadnou dopravou, pogtou etvrte tidy a bez dostatku delnika? Rolnick znovu dokazal skoro nemoZne: tei etvrtiny delnika opateil si v Garland a okoli; bosi vYrostci peijati byli do ueeni, Zeny a deveata naueeny segivat stuhy na klobouky, graduanti tamnej gi vyggi gkoly dostali zmestnani v Utadovnach nove tovarny. To bylo peed deseti roky, dnes velke, ead4 z nick stale pracuje v podniku, zamestnavajicim tti sta delnikt, po vet girie osadnikil Garland a okoli. Z ptivodniho mesteeka s 1200 obyvatela me, Garland peitomne populaci blizko deseti tisic. Delnici Resistol Co. jsou dobie placeni, tiiji spokojene a kdysi bosY farmalskY vYrostek a dnes generalni keditel L. A. Paul pfebyva v blizkosti podniku na svoji farmiece, pestuje ovce, kone, honici chrty a Shetland poriiky.

Texane zajali federalni vojiny bez stielu. Jedno velmi daletiite vojenske viterstvi dosahli Texane bez jedineho vYsteelu. V Unoru 1861 general D. E. Twiggs od armady Spoj. state vzdal se se svYm muZstvem a materialem v Texasu bez nejmengiho odporu. Kapituloval Ben McCullochovi, zastupci Texaske konvence odtrZeni, coi stalo se pied tim, net Texas atedne se pkipojil ku Konfederaci. Zajati vojaci byli propuSteni na destne slovo a material predan texaskym dobrovolnikam. VzdaySich se spolkovYch vojinu bylo 2700 a vojenske zasoby odhadnuty byly na tic miliony dolara. — Jeden z nejSerednejSi darn kdykoli zaslanYch presidentu Spoj. state byl dar pi. Mary A. Shirkey z Victoria. V roku 1856 darovala presidentu James Buchananovi par ponotek upletenYch z velbloudich chlupu. Pletla je z chlupa zahynuleho velblouda ze stada dopraveneho do Texasu armadnOu Spoj. state.

Drazi pratele!

Svatky vanoeni a novorodni Mame ji2 za sebou a dotufam, Ze jste je tak krasne uzili jako my. Podasi bylo nadherne, ale chladno. Nevim jak se to stalo, ale pokalde jsem se jaksi opozdila s tim psanim.

Nekde jsem ztratila tyden. Svatky byly smutne pro nektere, neb obdrZeli od sveho panadarek penelitY, a hned pri tom bylo propu gteni z prate. Zakina, to zde byti Apatne. Jest to turisticke misto, a tento rok nebylo tolik nav gtevniku z jinych meat jako jindy. Je mi tech lidi lito.

Mezi teml byl i mantel to pani co maluje.

A ted' jiZ budu pokradovati.

Jak jsem jiz naznakila, Ze se teZ podivarne db lesu. Vyjeli jsme stale vYS, jsme byli pies sedm tisic strevicil vysoko, a asi za pill hodiny jsme byli na miste.

Jake to bylo pro nas prekvapeni! To byl krasnY pohled brzy z rana kdy slunieko prosvitalo skrze stromy. ACkoliv jsem kolikrat v divadle videla kus lesa, kde rostou ti velikani, piece jest to jinY pocit, kdy je Clo y& vidi ye skuteenosti.

Prijeli jsme na misto kde jest dovoleno zastaviti s karou. Videli jsme, Ze lidi na cos hledi, tak jsme se gli teZ podivati. Byl to miadY jelen, krotkY, ale piece se bal.

Kdy'Z jsme vygli z kary daval pozor a videl, Ze main cosi v ruce a spechal ku mne.

Jeden hoch povidal, Ze se boji a ty Zenske ne. KdyZ pri gel ku mne zustal stat a ja se teZ ani malieko nepohnula, abych ho nepoplagila. Potom jsem natahla ruku a on pomaloudku se priblilil, az mi ruku lizal. Nechal si hlavu pohladit, a tak jsem mu dala mls. Potom uZ jsme se ho nemohli zbavit. Ten hoch honem mu da,val cukrovi, ale jelen utekl. Sli jsme kousek na kopec, slySim cosi za sebou a oni zde byli dva jeleni.

Sli jsme jegte o kousek dale a videli ohromne stromy redwoods. Opravdu jsou krasne, maji Cervenou kuru, Zadnou vetvieku nizko, az hodne nahore bohate zeleni. Tyto dva stromy se jmenuji "The Corridors", neb jsou uvnitr vypalene, nevim od Ceho, snad schvalne neb bleskem.

Jest moZno lidem projit. Ano, my jsme tea museli projit. TC jsme si prohledli velikana zvanaho "Fallen Monarch". Mu-

Ve stfedu, dne 18. ledna 1950. sel bYti poralen bleskem, jest velice dlouhy.

Potom jsme jeli a kousek dale a videli zase jeden strom skrz ktery se mohlo projit, tak zvanY "The Arch". Dale jsme videli dva srostle stromy, "The Faithful Couple". Tyto dva stromy jsou zvlagte krasne. Pak jsme videli velikana "Grizzly Giant". Tomuto stromu se opravdu musi divit, neb hadaji, Ze jest asi 3900 let stary. TeZko jest k uvereni, ze je tak stark, ale videli jsme ho, a jiz se trochu nachyluje na jednu stranu. Jest ji2 misto udelano az padne, by nic nebylo v ceste. Zde jest inspirace pro basnika, kterY rad skidda, basne o stromech a sile. Videli jsme strom "Massachusetts", kterY je rovnY a pak "Wawona", kterY jest hezky.

Strom, ktery jsme si prali nejvice uvidet jest "Mariposa", skrz kterY jsme projell s karou. V roce 1881 byl proriznut, by tak zvanY "stage coach" mohl projeti a touto lesni easti cestu zkratil.

Jest to krasnY Redwood les, prijernna vine, a tak se hezky alape po jehlicich, ktere cela leta padaly. Jest zde ticho a kdy se elovek rozhirZi pociti takove mile teplo u srdce. Rostou zde kvetiny jake jsem nikde nevidela. Asi jsou to kvetiny polotropicke, ale krasne. Jinde rostou kvetiny jako jednoduche divoke ruze, yelike a snehobile, jinde zase male bud' fialove, bile aneb rii2ove. Jinde zase kvete ker a nektere stromky.

Nemohli jsme se dosti vynadivit, ale vge musi jednou kondit a tak jsme se vypravili na, zpateeni cestu. Jeli jsme asi pet mil a pri gli k mistu, kde jest dovoleno vyjeti z parku. Ukazali jsme pas a jell jsme dale. „Id se je gte ohledla a pri glo mi jaksi smutno, Ze jest to treba naposled, co vgi tuto krasnu uvidim. Proto jsem byla chvili ticho a Henry povida, co Z'e jsem najednou utichla. Tak jsem mu rekla, co si myslim a on povidal, 'Ze jest mdrie, se sem jegte nekdy podivame. Le i jemu se zde tolik libilo. Pak u Z • jsem zase povidala o vgechno . prye. Ujizdeli jsme dal a dal a vaade kolem nas, vY ge i nize same krasne stromy. Nektere tak zelene, jine zase cede. Jak krasne se mezi nimi vyznadovaly stromy s Cervenou kfirou. Byl to silnY kontrast a snad neni elovok, ktery by nejak nepocitil zvla gtni nehu pro vae co se plied nami otviralo za ka,Z'dy'm rdhem aneb zatakkou.

Wady jsme jeli tak na pokraji hory, bylo videt hodne dole, jinde les a balvany vysoko nad nami, mezi nimi kvetouci kere. Tu a tam videli jsme malou veverku aneb maleho jelena. Asi za hodinu jsme zadali jeti -niZe a pak jiZ stale dole, aZ jsme vyjeli Upine z hor. Jak rada se proji2clim v horach.

Asi za dve hodiny prijeli jsme do Delano a tarn nem jiZ zase kara nedelala dobrotu. Zastavili jsme u jednoho mladika,

Mladik zavolal na jeho .2enu, aby me vzala k nim • .ptipravila chladnou vodu. Henry nechal kart' ptipravit na cestu, abysme nemuseli east° zastavovat. Mlada pani se pochlublumi hrati na harmoniku, tak jsem ji vybidla, by me zahrala, coZ rada ueinila. 'VIM krasne hrati, z ylag te jeden kousek, valcik, se mi velice libil. Za chvilku Henry void, Ze je ptipraven jeti dale. Ja povidala, dtive aby si pti gel poslechnouti hezkY kousek. Tak jsme se zdrkli, neb nas panieka pane baVila. Za chvilku phgel jeji bratr tea s harmonikou, a asi za met minut mlady syndeek s kytarou.

Pane jsme si pri hudhe odpoeinuli a kdya jsme odjiZdeli museli jsme slibiti, Ze jestli kdy pojedem v to stranu, Ze se musime zastavit. Jsou z Noveho Yorku. Tak jsme zase usedli do kary a Tychle zase do Los Angeles. A tak jsme zase uvideli kousek tena gi krasne Ameriky.

Mame zae bYti vdeeni a sly gela jsem, v jinYch statech jest zrovna tak krasne jako zde. Ta pani co maluje je se statu Washingtonu, tea bydlela v Oregonu, kde uvidela mnoho krasneho, jak lesy tak hory a rada ji posloucham kdy vypravuje.

Zapinala rychle tresoucimi se prsty kazajku, kterou drive svlekala, a znovu opakovala pokus pribliait se k nemu. On vSak ji uchopil za ruku a drbel ji dale od sebe.

"Toho, Aneako, nech," rekl temne a jaksi -Lyra. "Co se stab, stab se. Ja vim vbechno a treba, 'ae bych td mchl delat vVeitky, nevytYkam ti nic. Kandy at' si dela, co za dobre uzna.

"Pojd' k ni, pojd', ona ti take povi, je to vkchno lea," nutila jej aena chvatne a ua, jej vlekla pies sin do vYmenice.

Jako by ji alma, rozrazila, tetelila se, a Rambousek citil jeji studenou, malou ruku chveti se v jeho. Bylo mu ji lito, ale ani na okamaik nepoeal vahati. Tak pevne, jako drive, i nyni byl adhodlan setrvati pin svem Umyslu.

Ve vYmenici posud horela petrolejova lampieka na peen, u ktere na posteli sedela s pola svleeena vYmenkarka. Chystala se ke spani a vice ze zvyku nea z poboanosti modlila se rtiaenec.

Sotva spatrila manaele, odloaila rtibenec a podeprela se hubenYma, nahnedlou koai potaaenYma rukama o pastel.

"Stab se neco?" optala se chvatne a patrave si je prohliaela. VytuSila, ae mezi nimi neni vkchno v poradku.

"Ba, be se stab maminko," zabedovala dcera doopravdy. "Tonik priSel z hcspody a z nieeho nic zaeal mi povidat, be se rozejdeme. Nekde mu neco napovidali o mne a o Vojtovi. Vy, maminko, vite o vgem, co se deje v dome a reknete sama, je-li na tom co pravdy."

"Ale, Tonieku, ae nemate rozum," avatlala babka a sklouznuvAi s postele, Sourala se k nem. "Mlle, stare osobe, vete, ae je to hloupY kiep. Vojta je dcbrY olovek, ma vas rad a tuze hezky o vas mluvi.

(./zkostlive divala se na sedlaka, co tomu rekne. Stal tise, dival se na ni pokojne a nechal ji mluvit.

"Ja tu, maminko, nebudu," rekl ureite a jaksi prisne. "Jsem poctivY 'Clo y & a nesnesu, aby lide rozna geli me staveni pa svete. At' ua Aneaka chybila nebo nechybila, rozejdeme se.

-To vim, to vim, ae jste byl, Tonieku, Cloy& pracovitY a dobrY - hospodar," mlela babka chvatne a jata nahlou nzkosti, rozpaeite vracela se ku posteli.

"Nae. ho vyhanet?" odpoveclel sure.

"Nekoho k hospodarstvi potilebuja. Aa budeS sama pani, uvidiS, ho potrebovat nebo ne. Ted' jen poekej, abychoin yeas se mohli poradit. Prines1 jsem sem tri tisice a etyri kusy dcbytka. To si vezmu zpet. VSak nechci to utahnou.

Chvili bylo ticho ye svetniece.

"Ale, Tonieku, mohl byste toho piece nechat," ozvala se vYmenkalka chlaeholive. "Koukejte, kolikrat se jinde staly horAi \Teel a piece nebeael hned mub od deny. Zahubujte si, vyaente ordee, jen ale to nedelejte. Lade z toho budou delat kroniky."

"Ja o lidi dbam malt)," Ranabousek pokreil rameny. "Ostatne, co budou o mne povidat, nemil2e bYti nic zleho."

"Tak o nine budou jen zle mluvit," zvo lala selka vaSnive. "Ma g me 1;rasne rad, kdya to via a nedbaS. Kdybys byl ty lepei, nemusilo k tomu vezmu dojit. Ty jen se vymlouvaS, be jsi pracoval. Ale co ja, ja jsem ti byla neco vie? Mel jsi radost, kdyb jsem pracovala, ale nikdy jsi mne nepochvalil, nikdy jsi se na mne nezasmal a mileho slava jsi mi nerekl.

Rambousek zbledl. Table vYeitka rozaehla v jeho dual nave svetlo, ktere jej zaloalelo ahavou bolesti. Ano, proe nemame dite, ozvalo se i v nem a po prva pocitil se benou soustrast. Ale tim zaroyen dovr,§1.10 se jeho rozlaodnuti.

"Checeg-li delej, jak rozumig," kekla selka tyrde a sevtela rty.

"Lehnete si, Tonieku, do rana vykouki • se vain to z hlavy," vybizela jej vYmenkatka.

"Lehnu, maminko. Vain beztoho taky se chce spat. Ty tu, Andico, zlistaneg?"

"Zustanu," hekla kratce a odvratila se od "Tak dobrou noc," povidal mime a vygel do sine. Za okam2ik klaply za nim dvete u svetnice, a ye vYmenici bylo ticho.

"Jd to povidala, ie nekdy v gechno se prozradi," povidala po chvili vYmenkatka jako pro sebe. "Co lido nevypatraji!

Tuze okatl jsi to delala. Snad kdybys byla nejakY rok je gte pookala, mela bys jinY rozum."

"Maminko, prosim vas, aspori vy mi dejte pokoj, rczkiikla se dcera narulive.

"Co pak za to mohu? Nebranila jsem se dost? Nenadbihala jsem mu, aby byl jiny, aby si me piece trochu vsiml, aby se mnou nedelal, jako kdyby mne nebylo ye svetnici? Kolikrat zasmal se na mne, kolikrat byl na mne laskav? Sam &el a chtel, abych taky dtela. Nehonil nine do prace, ale koukal se tak, ze jsem do klusu litala a lopotila se, jen aby byl spokojen. A co za v gechno? Nic. Od noci do nod lit5.ni, den ode dne stejne a nikdy 2adna radost. Nernyslete si, le mi neni hanba, kdy2 vim, jak Tide o mne mluvi. Ale at' si mluvi. Na vzdor budu stejna, t?eba se mi small, jak chteli."

Rozpalila se a chodila po svetnici.

Babka stihala ji polosoustrastnYin, polobazlivYm pohiedem.

"Inu, vadyt' ja to nehubuju, ja jell tak jsem myslila," podotkla rozpadite.

"Vim to, maminko. Mne je tolik lito, le delarn bolest a starost varn i jemu."

Mohla sotva dolcondit Plad udusil dalAi jeji slova. Vrhla se k matce na pastel a zabo •ivgi hlavu do petin, vzlykala. Stare vyhrkly sizy a oei a pobala dceru hladit po vlasech, mazlic se s ni a te gic ji.

"Snad do rana se zmeni, rozmysli si vgechno," povidala stale. "Pojd' lehni si pod petinu. Jsi vgecka ustydla, abys jegte nestonala."

Konedne po chvili podatilo se ji ciceruaby poldila se k ni do postele. Pak zhasila lampu a po tichu jegte dlouho geptaly.

"Maminko, neodejde-li, uvidite, budu jina," slibovala selka zahkata teplem mateinYrn, a radostnY zablesk nadeje pozvedl jeji mysl. "Nemela jsem to delat, byl vadycky hodnY a dobry elovek.

People Resent.

Being Rushed The heading could as well be changed to "This is the Voice of Experience," for only through the years of observation I now realize that planting new ideas takes time and patience. Probably some of the realization was acquired also in the study of "crowd behavior" or "mass psychology" which, by the way, would be an ideal course for any and every officer serving in any capacity in our SPJST organization.

To put it in a nutshell, the psychologists found out that any new thought has to go through four definite stages.

I shall not burden you with scientific definitions, and I shall merely mention the second stage which the psychologists call the period of "incubation"— the time of hatching, brooding, or brooding upon, to speak figuratively.

It is a period of inattention when no apparent progress is noticeable.

If we put it in everyday language it means that when men are too anxious to have their ideas adopted, they create their own resistance. People resent being rushed.

Here is where the "voice of experience" could keep on talking volumes and volumes, and all of it pertaining to the work and improvement of the SPJST. But let's avoid mentioning specific instances and let's not indulge in personal allusions or ego inflation.

What I wish to state is a bit of cautioning to all sincere workers that it takes time for any plan to be accepted by any class of people. It is a demonstrable truth in any lodge and any group.

You may get a bright idea, a brilliant one. You may spent weeks or months developing that idea or plan, but you cannot expect other' people to accept it right away—no matter how good it may be. The time of "hatching" is needed.

For others have to go through many of the same thoughts that you did, and they have to "think through" all the objections, and some more, that you did.

Your statement that it would work does not satisfy their minds;

If you have an idea for the improvement of your lodge or a plan which you think should be adopted, outline it I the best way you can, but don't insist on the execution of your plan. Call it the "planting" time, and forget about it.

Don't pull it ont prematurely. Children may be excused for pulling out a young plant to see the roots. Let your planted idea grow.

• If your idea really has the vigor that you think it has, it will "come up."

But if your idea can be easily forgotten, it isn't such a swell idea and doesn't deserve to be adopted.

This is the voice of experience, but you don't have to listen to it. )• •(

Sidestepping Arguments

Respecting the rights and opinions of others is a third way to avoid arguments. Ask their advice even when you don't need it. Ask for their opinions.

Even if a man makes ' an obviously wrong statement, don't "call him" on it.

Say: "That surely is an interesting viewpoint. It never occurred to me before. You may be right, of course, but • I always thought . . ."

Finally, admit your own faults. In other words, "take it on the chin." If you will admit it when you are wrong, you will have little difficulty in avoiding arguments One man I know, very successful in his relationships, always regarded a controversy as a "partnership." "We are partners in this matter," he would say. "Let's see how two partners would work out this problem."

These simple rules should be remembered in all of our lodge work activities.

There is a difference in feeling when we discuss and when we argue. Argument is an attempt to bend the other fellow. Discussion should be like lighting a match in darkness.

We are partners in the SPJST lodges.

Let's see how we can work out this problem. Use light, not force.

•( )•

You meet them almost every day — argumentative people who want to drag you into a dispute. You make a statement. They contradict it. If you are not careful, they will get you boiling mad —• and then anything can happen.

But you'll be careful, of course, for one of the marks of a leader and a superior person is that he will do almost anything to sidestep an argument.

LODGE POKROK NO. 88, HOUSTON, TEXAS Rehearsals are getting under way for "Posledni Mug" or "The Last Man" to be played on Sunday, Feb. 12th at 4 p. m. at our lodge. It is a great comedy and will keep the audience in continuous laughter throughout the whole play. It is one of the best comedies that I have read in a long time and I'm sure you will agree with me when you see it. I selected this play because I felt that it would be a good tonic for our audience —as the old saying goes "A laugh now and then is good for the best of men."

I am getting an English play lined up and casting will start very shortly, so if anyone is interested in taking a part, they may contact me at KE. 8674 or at our lodge on any Friday night.

Alger Story Many years ago, Eddie Cantor, a product of New York's East Side, went to Public School No 1 on Henry and Catherine Streets. But Cantor, the urchin, didn't like to study. He preferred to spin tops, visit the local nickelodeon, or sneak into the gallery at Tony Pastor's.

Naturally, this business of playing hookey interfered with his education, but Eddie had a way with him—a way of doing odd little favors for his teachers, and plaintively getting under their skin when promotion time came. T hi s worked out as anticipated, until he reached the 7th Grade. Then Mr. Clark, the new teacher, made a little speech, "Izz," he said, calling Eddie by his maiden name, "I'm wise to you.

I know you skip class, skip homework; you've been getting away with murder up to now—but I warn you. No monkey business in my class. You either pass your marks, or I leave you back. Understand?" Eddie understood so well that he never returned to that or any other school.

Thirty odd years later he was asked to lecture on show business at Harvard.

When his lecture was over, a member of the faculty approached the comedian and shook his hand. "Izz," he smiled, while Eddie's eyes popped out, "I really ought to ask you for fifty percent of your lifetime earnings. If it weren't for me, you'd probably still be in the 7th Grade. My name is Professor Clark, Thomas Clark, formerly of Public School No. 1 New York City."

Adult Education One of the last things, perhaps, that anyone should suggest to the average adult is that he needs some additional education. It is strange how the average adult will resent the insinuation or intimation that he can learn something more, and yet heavens help the individual who thinks that he has learned all he needs and has completed his education. Fortunately for America and the Western world generally, the progressive nations have attained their progressive situation through the widespread acknowledgement on the part of the average human being that he needs more education. The growth and development, of the public library systems in the Western world constitute one outstanding proof of this self-realization and magnificent way in which advantage is taken of golden opportunities to attain or acquire that additional education.

And of all the interesting ways that have developed in the Western world for enabling the adult man or woman to add to the storehouse of necessary knowledge, the most popular and really the most efficient method for the amount of time and money involved is that of the form of adult education offered by the high schools and state colleges.

I have had the opportunity to witness a number of registrations at the Un i versity of Houston. I, too, stood in the line where adults were registering for the fall, winter, spring, and summer courses. On those occasions, I saw many hundreds of men and women of every walk of life and, seemingly, of every social standing and of every degree of education waiting to register and become a part of the great educational classes that were being formed and offered to those who wished to study in their spare time at night. I could imagine little boys observing the line of registration and whispering to one another, "Oh, look, my dad is going to school again." And that is really as it should be.

Unless an adult does go to school again, he is sure to find himself very ea ily in the prime of life more ignorant and more unqualified to proceed with life than he ever suspected. You cannot acquire any kind of an education to any point or degree of scholarliness and stop at that point and say, "I have now acquired all that is necessary in the form of knowledge." Even if such a thing could be true on the day of ending the course of study, it would not be true twenty-four hours later because

VESTI■Tilt— WEST, TEXAS

in those twenty-four hours more things could be discovered in science, literature, art, the professions, mechanics, and trades than one person could learn about and analyze and become familiar with in a whole year's course of study.

Knowledge. like matter itself, is constantly becoming. You cannot put your finger on any piece of matter whether the page of this magazine or the top of the table or chair where you are seated, or on a morsel of food, a beam of sunlight, a bucket of water, or a large piece of machinery and say: "This is it; this constitutes a certain kind of classification of matter." While you are saying the words the rates of vibration fluctuate and the piece of matter is starting to become something else. It may revert or so improve or change its vibrations as to become something else in a moment. Matter is always on the way to being something different. It is constant change in the rate of vibrations of matter that gives motion and and makes matter manifest itself.

The same is true of knowledge. It is the evolution of knowledge, the new application of it, a newer realization of it, and the modifying of it into new ideas and new thoughts that makes knowledge a useful thing and at the same time reveals to us our lack of knowledge.

Book knowledge acquired academically and never applied becomes not an asset but a liability. A curriculum completed in college or university even when it results in examinations that give a grade as high as 80 or 90 is merely a white elephant locked in the brain or set on top of the head, which we carry around with us as dead weight unless we apply that knowledge and use it constructively not only for ourselves but for the benefit of others.

It is when we come to apply what knowledge we have attained that we run face to face with problems which reveal to us that there is still some knowledge that is in the process of being revealed or unfolded and which we must add to our present knowledge if we would keep up to date or make what we previously had of value.

In the long line of persons registering in the adult classes there were those who had completed a professional course of study and had graduated as physicians, surgeons, dentists, engineers, electricians, and even good cooks and housewives. The extension of knowledge is not only , automatic but systematic and if voluntary co-operation is not used in complying with the demands of the system, knowledge is attained haphazardly • and becomes of

Strana 21 little value. The professional man who may have passed a high examination in the specific courses of his selected study is sure sooner or later to realize that there are allied subjects so interlaced with his own profession that without a knowledge of these subjects his professional development is incomplete.

On the other hand, there is a business Man who may have attained great acumen in the secret practices of his trade but who finds he is incompetent to meet and deal with average intelligent persons unless he is ready and prepared to discuss the important matters of the day and to keep abreast of the achievements of knowledge in all science departments and in the fields of literature, art, travel, music, and so forth.

I found in these registration lines those who were seeking to secure some fundamental knowledge of psychology and its application either professionally or in the affairs of life generally.

And who can deal with the human problems of this day and understand the complex situations politically, economically, and otherwise, without coming face to face with matters that can be solved only by a knowledge of the fundamentals of psychology? And there were those who were determined to perfect themselves in some of the fine arts in order that as hobbies or sparetime indulgences they might not only occupy themselves pleasantly but profitably. Then there were those who like members of the ancient school of philomathics simply loved knowledge for the sake of reveling in its power and its magnificence of universal influence.

I found that a large portion of the men and- women seeking this education of a limited nature were anxious to take up brief courses of study in what would add to their cultural refinement and intellectual prowess. I heard one of the professors, an eminent authority, stating that there is nothing that will build up a person's joy in living and a person's power to attract and influence people like the study and practice of personal hygiene and the development of a refined and cultured personality.

It used to be said that next to godliness is cleanliness and we might paraphrase this by saying the third point of the triangle is that of culture—culture of the mind, body, thinking processes, of all actions and of all habits 'and tendencies.

If there is any one thing that distinguishes one individual from another outside of neat personal appearance, it is the manifestation of intellectual assets. One can go too far in overdressing with clothes that will be impressive.

Cer-77,

Strana 22, One can wear not too much jewelry to make the proper impression of social position. But one can never go too far in using intelligence, for along with intelligence comes an understanding of its purpose, application, and the proper cultural refinement in its use.

The other night an SPJST member called me asking for information about the night classes at the University of Hotiston. That is a good sign. We should have more members who would feel that additional education can be acquired even in late maturity. It was a pleasure to find out that this SPJST member will go to registration for the new term at the University of Houston beginning on the first .of February. ) • 4, THERE ARE NICE PEOPLE On Seventeenth Street in Washington, D. C., around the corner from the White House, you can find an elderly man selling shoe laces almost every day in the year.

As people pass him by, they catch the w words, "Shoe laces, boys and girls, buy some shoe laces." Like most blind people who try to earn a living without begging, he sells his wares quietly and unobtrusively. On a low stone wall he sits these cold days, huddled in a shabby greatcoat, a blue ski cap with earlaps on his head, and smoked glasses hiding his eyes. In one hand he holds a cardboard box with a few pairs of laces; in the other the badge of his infirmity — the white cane.

I suppose I'd never have noticed him except for one thing. Around his neck hangs a small, metal plate. On it is engraved "It could be worse."

Others also have noticed the small sign. That is why he has many visitors each day. Each walks away a little straighter, a little more confidently.

His cheerful words and the small sign spread courage — notjust at Christmas but all the year Anne Reinstein ) • 4 What are your plans for the future of your children? Will you need money to do it? The SPJST edowment policies with a premium waiver will place your plans on a solid foundation.

A New Wrinkle On Wrinkles .

She had been to the photographer's on her 83rd birthday to have her plcu •e taken. Now, for the first time, she saw the finished picture.

"Young man," she said tartl; "put my wrinkles back."

"Why, grandma?" he said astonished, "I've retouched this so that it makes you look 20 years younger. I thought you'd be pleased."

"Why should I want to look 20 years younger? You put my wrinkles back, young man. I'm not ashamed of them.

They're honest wrinkles. I've earned every one of them through these years."

More power to you : grandma! Most of us never could understand this business of being ashamed of age, anyway.

Life isn't just writing down days until death draws the line and they add up the score in your obituary column.

Life is more than clock ticks! Old age can have a thousand things that youth can never know. Experience, poise, wisdom, and the joy of dreams come true. As the 80 year old "Madame Claire" said in Susan Ertz's novel, "I take as much pride in being 80 as I once took in being 16. The veil that shuts me off from the beyond is wearing thin at my age, so that by watching and waiting I can catch glimpses of what it hides."

Longfellow put it more poetically— Then shall we sit idly down and say The night hath come; it is no longer day?

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress.

And as the evening twilight fades away, The sky is filled with stars invisible by day.

Life would certainly be a tremendous disppointment if we were born old and wise and had nothing to look forward to but to grow young and foolish. A greater mind than ours has thoughtfully arranged life the other way around.

When Cardinal Manning had reached what Shakespeare called the "silver livery of advised age" he said he was "slowing into the station." That's a beautiful and truthful sentiment; — but our lady of the wrinkles wouldn't want it that way. She would prefer the words of the PsalmiSt when he said "They shall bring forth fruit M 'Old age."

One of my good friends , who died this year at 88 was still wanting to work.

What kept him young? Satisfying the urge to be useful. Titian painted the

Old Age comes when we lose the urge to create. It doesn't seem to make much difference what it is -- a poem, a boat, a good laugh, a paper flower. an organization, or a state of mind in somebody else. When that urge to create is gone we are .old. As long as it's there, the year we were born just means we've had that much experience than the next fellow. To some of us it is given to go quickly "like a tuneswept fiddle string that feels the master melody and snaps." To others it is given to watch the silver brush of time paint moonbeams in' our hair.

The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just where the bands will stop At late , or early hour.

Franz Schubert died at 31, still creating, leaving his "Unfinished Symphony." It is so with every creative mind. Always it leaves an "Unfinished Symphony". As long as 'you have the urge to create you have the zest of life, no matter how long the clock runs.

"Grandma, are you old?" little Betty asked.

"No, dear. I've just been young a long, long time."

There's a difference!

When Victor Hugo was 70 he wrote "Winter is in my head, but spring is in my heart." But that's where spring counts! Put those wrinkles back, son!

For that dear soul they are a badge of honor. She couldn't keep them from coming on her face, but she never let them grow on her heart.

One more thing can be added which all of us should remember: Some people are still young at 85 and others are old fogies before they are thirty. ) • 4 •( HALLOWEEN EXPERIMENT It was Halloween night and Mr. and Mrs. B. wished to attend a lecture, but what to do about the expected callers, the children who expected "handouts"?

Mrs. B decided to experiment. She had an enormous sack of peanuts. She placed this in the middle of the front porch floor with a lettered card attached to the top of the sack saying, "HELP YOURSELVEES, but it would be nice to leave a few for the next fellow." Then she and Mr. B went to the lecture, leaving the porch light burning. When they returned there was a tiny handful of peanuts in the bottom of the sack and nothing about the house had been harmed.

Yap Can Stop Being Sensitive Sensitive? Feelings easily hurt? If they are, you're missing a lot of fun out of life. Sensitive people can make themselves —and others — utterly miserable.

Psychiatrists tell us that Sensitiveness is a sign of emotional immaturity, a lack of self-confidence, of deeprooted feelings of insecurity and inferiority. It's a human failing that isn't easily beaten. However, if you really want to clean up your emotional house, you can do so — and become a mature, confident human being.

Here are ten suggestions to help you defeat your sensitiveness: 1. Maybe He Didn't Mean YOU.—Before coming to quick conclusions that your feelings were intentionally hurt, stop and consider the other fellow.

Maybe he didn't mean to hurt You. Maybe he's a rather brusque individual who treats everyone the same way.

Maybe he got out of bed on the wrong side that morning and wasn't in very good humor. A wise man once said, "You never know what's in the other fellow's garden." Often the cause be hind a slight is illness — or some financial or domestic trouble that has nothing to do with you. Troubled people aren't likely to be courteous, and sensitive people expect much too much attention. They should realize they are a small, infinitestimal part of a great big universe and that being hurt is merely part of the business of living.

They must realize, too, that they can't afford to be sensitive if-they want to get ahead in the world.

Katharine Cornell, the famous actress, once admitted that her senitiveness actually retarded her career. As a beginner, she once ran out on a rehearsal because she felt the star hadn't been courteous to her — and, as a result, lost a prized role, which that very star had intended to give her. In a recent article, she warned young people starting on their careers not to come to hasty conclusions when people aren't kind to thein.

2. Shame On The Other Fellow!—' Let's assume you have the right to feel offended. You definitely know that the slight was intentional and was meant for you. You're terribly hurt.

If you're sensitive, of course you're miserable about the hurt you've just suffered, but tomorrow is another day and the hurt will have been eased a little.

By next week, it will have lessened considerably, and by next year it will have been completely forgotten.

10. Use Your Sensitiveness. — Sensitive people usually feel and sense things more quickly than do individuals with tougher skins. Sensitiveness gives you a great capacity for suffering, it is true, but, it also gives you the ability to derive intense enjoyment out of life. You can enjoy music, art, people, laughter, far more than can the,fellow with the elephant's hide. You can be more sympathetic and understanding and so achieve great popularity. You can do all that only if you want to, and if you open the doors to life and release yourself from the emotional jail into which undue sensitiveness can get you.—Reprinted from the Journal of Living, Jan. 3950.

Many in the audience were preparing to leave. The show was all over. Only the respect for the second speaker, who was to make "a few appropriate remarks," kept the audience from leaving.

This was reported once before in the Vestnik. You can refer to the issue of October 12, 1949, page 26. Should you have forgotten, which is nothing unusual—that crowning oration had also long been forgotten—we once more identify both speakers.

The masterful orator of the day was Edward Everett. The second speaker was the then President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The occasion was dedication of the Gettysburg battlefield. The "few appropriate remarks" stood the test of time and lived to be the greatest short speach in human history.

Housekeeping That Keeps Husbands Fortunately, there is one school of learning where all of us learn how to live. That human institution is the home.

It is designed to teach living, fortunately for all of us.

The other day I was handed a clipping. I had read it and brought it home for my wife to read it. Not that she would need this particular advice or "sermon", but merely to get her viewpoint and her expression of feelings. If the reading of the clipping would leave her calm, then it would be safe to present it to other housewives. She remained calm. Thus. I'll venture further. Here's the clipping. The source unknown.

It's home you live in, not a hospital, and no man wants to be made uncomfortable by inordinate upheavals in the name of good housekeeping.

Be neat. but not fussy. Don't ever let your home look unkept, but don't be a perpetual pillow plumper either. Don't be forever taking curtains down to have them cleaned, and moving furniture about in a frenzied search for a little harmless dust.

Don't drive him crazy by picking up after him constantly. Maybe he likes the morning newspaper strewn around the floor. If he does it only on Sundays, that's not too great a cross for you to bear, even though you are the world's neatest woman. The rest of the week, he will be going to the office early, so the papers won't stay there long. If he offers to help around the house, and then spills water as he tends the ivy, or upsets the cream in the refrigerator, remember how lucky you are to have a husband who wants to help. It won't wear you down to sweep up after him— when he's not looking Don't ever make him think he's a nuisance. and don't be a nuisance yourself. He should look forward to his home.

It should offer charm and relaxation and hospitality.

Don't make him groan inwardly at the thought of leaving a comfortable office for a disquieting home. Don't shoo him out of rooms that have just been straightened, or display nerves at the thought of a stag party because of what his friends might do to the carpet. It's a shame when a careless smoker burns a hole in your best rug, but a rug isn't half so hard to replace as a good husband.

And just remember, the simplest rule of all for nuptial bliss is that same old friend—be considerate.
