Strana 4 JEZTE JABLKA SLOUZI ZDRAVI. V listopadu usporadan byl pod zakitou National Apple Institutu narodni jablkovy tYden, jehot neelem bylo seznamiti amcn*ickY lid s blahodarnYmi ireinky potivani jablek pro lidske zdravi. Byla to chvalitebna, kampan a bylo by tadoucno, aby mela dobre vYsleky. Jablko je opravdu dobrYm ovocemn a jeho St'avy prispivaji k dobremu zativani a take udrtovani, pravidelne stolice. Dobrym zvykem jest pojisti jablko na noc. Mnozi tvrdi, to prispiva i k dobremu spauku. Ponevadt jablek jest preveliky pokt druhti, mail take jich tt'avy mocriejk nebo slabsi neinky, a je na eloveku samotnem, aby si zjistil, ktery drub pusobi na jeho telesnou soustavu nejblahoddrneji.

"Dve jablka dense je stale nejlepinvestmentern," eetli jsme v jedne vYzve v listopadovem jablkovem tYdnu a pine jsme s prohlaknim tim souhlasili. V nekterYch krajinach SpojenYch state je snadnou veci tento dobrY zvyk si osvojiti pro hojne mistni zasoby a pomerne levnou cenu jablek. V koneinach, ktere jsou odkazany hodne na privoz z jinYch state, je to jit nakladnejk, ale i tak je lepe vydavati penize za jablka netli za pilulky nebo jive projimaci prostredky. Jablky sve telesne soustave neublitime, lee by byla nezrala a proto teako stravitelna.

NezralYch jablek se vtdy strette!

V roce 1949 urodilo se ve Spoj. statech asi 130 miliona buslu jablek, podle sdeleni National Apple Institutu, a patrne tato hojna. Uroda vedla k pronikavejtirnu upozornovani na dobre &inky potivani jablek pro lidske zdravi. Nicmene i pri zreteli na tuto obchodni stranku prokazovala se krenim znamosti dobr:,(Tch ueinku dobra slutba vSeinu lidu.

Drazi pfatele!

Jia jsem zde zase a mohu si dnes pochvalovat, 2e jsme meli veera a dnes nadherne dny, tea se hodne oteplilo, neb pied tim mrzlo. Radio stale hiasilo; ae se muselo v kouiit, aby nezmrzlo ovoce a kvety. Pry se budou muset domy barvit, neb jest to vae derne. Lidi, kteti jezdili do mesta naiikali, ae sotva videli na cestu. I zde co my bydlime jest tolik kouie, ae byl den jako zamraeeny. Jinak to nejde, kdya chceme ovoce. Dues veeer ma zase prSet. Neali budu pokraeovat, musim se o neC';em zminit a to jest, ae se tatinek Fridrich stal dedeekem. Ua jsme mysleli, eapy stavkuji, aneb nekde na ceste zmrzli, ale on se piec ptihlasil s hezkou holeiekou.

Talc varn tati gratuluji a vim jakou mate radost a ae to stale chodite okukovat.

Talc si Vas ptedstavuji jak Vain to bude sluSet aa se budete po chodniku prochazeti s koearkem. Samortejme, ae ne s prazdnYm. Mlacie mamince pieji rychleho uzdraveni.

Minule jsem dokoneila o navSteve v Yosemitskem narodnim parku. Myslim, ae vas necham odpoeinouti, abych nemela yak finavu na svedomi. Psala jsem ji2 dtive, jak se nam u na gich pant"' libilo a ae jsme se vaichni radi small. Ten nas deda, to je SaSek. Jednou k nom piisla hezka sleena, neb pies plot miuvila s Henrym kdya urnYval karu. Zminila se, ae rada kresli, talc ji pozval k nam. Sleana a. prohliaela Henryho praci a to se ji libila.

NaSi pani byli zveclavi, kdo to u nas byl, talc jsem jim poveciela. Pani fikala, ae ono, nedovoli, by k nam sleena chodila a me povidala, abych ji to zakazala. Ja povidala, ae ja, to neudelam, ae jest sleena vitana kdykoliv si pieje nas navgtivit.

Decla se tomu tolik smal a Henry zas jeho dobiral. Pani mela trochu dopal, ae ja, se tea smala, talc se obratila na dedu a ptala se, co on udela. On si stoupl, natahl a povida: "JO Co ja udelarn? Porazim plot, aby se sem leheeji dostala. Ja, se taky rad podivarn na hezkou holku". Pozdeji jsme na hello koukali jak vylamoval kousek dieva a druhY den povidal, ae mysli ae si tea umyje karu.

Jsou tam tti takovi &Move. Talc jsou verni svYm aenam a na aadnou se nepodivaji, as kdya ptejde hezka aena, talc vai-, chni zapomenou o 'dem mluvili a prohliai si ji. <TA kolikrat na ne koukala z okna a div smichem nemusela sednouti, jak si umeli notovat. Talc si rozurneli.

VESTNiK WEST, TEXAS — Po ceste z Yosemite jsme se brzo od nich stehovali, neb najem byl moc vysokY. VSe bylo talc drahe, ae to bylo nemoane tolik najmu platit, aelcoliv jsem jim nekolikrat nadhodila, ae jest to moc. Ten den kdya jsme se stehovali tak mi povidali, ae by byli mohli trochu slevit, ale ne tolik jako platime zde. Nekdy se mi trochu stYskalo, neb i druzi Tide tam byli veseli. Kdya my se odstehovali, za kratkou dabu se tea druzi stehovali. Nechteli srazit i kdya videli ae to budou mit prazdne.

Za kratkou dobu jsme je Sli navStivit a ja' ji'upraVit vlasy, talc nam deda povidal, 2e nam de medal pokoj zadarmo, jen aby jsme se k nim zase nastehovali, ae jeho acne se tolik stYsla a ae place. Ja slibila, ae ji easem navativim a ae se nerada stehuji. Sem jsme se nastehovali 18. srpna.

Jest to jeden z malYch eistYch domovil a talc jsem tu spokojena. Kdy't mam eas jdu nayStivit sve mile ptatele. Jinak mam stale co delat, a to ja velice rada. Kdya jsme se zde usadili, talc jsme si jednu krasnou nedeli vyjeli zase do hor. SlySeli jsme mnoho o Malibu Lake a talc jsme se tam vydali. Jell jsme k moti, aa jsme piijeli k Santa Monica a Malibu. Ujeli jsme nekolik mil a °tooth napravo k horam. Nejeli jsme dlouho a byli jsme hodne vysoko, odkud bylo videt hodne daleko na more a mile a mile pobte gi. Jelikoa byl jasnY den videli jsme v mot'. ostrovy Channel a Santa Cruz. S dalekohledem videli jsme i domeeky postavene na °strove. Byl to zajimavy pohled. Na levo v dalce videli jsme Santa Catalina ostrov. Ten pry jest krasny a mnoho lidi nam radi, bysme se tam podivali, ae se vyjede v lodi se sklenenym dnem a jest vae ye vocie videt.

Zdali se tam podivame nevim. Kdya jsme se nasytili pohledu na mote a ostrovy, koukali jsme se na jedno misto. Hral se tarn baseball. Co ale bylo zvlaStnihb, hral se na malYch oslikach. Kdy2 hrae uhodil do mice, mel oslik utikat a kterY drive piisel na misto, ten vyhral. Jen ae 2adnY nevyhral, oslikUm se nechtelo pii takovem horku utikat. Bylo mi tech zvitatek lito, neb nekdy na nem sedel mua talc velky, ae musel si nohy draet nahoie. Zde si mohou vSelijake takove hry vymyslet.

Dale jsme videli kary ujiadet po silnici, vypadali jako brouci, tak jsme byli vysoko. Pozdeji jsme jell jeSte vYSe, as jsme piijeli na nejvy'SSI horu. Zde byl malt' park, talc jsme zastavili a chvili prohliaeli okoli. Dole pied nami bylo videt velkY kus San . Fernando Udoli. Byl to krasnY pohied. To nejhezei nas jeSte eekalo. Za kratkou dobu jsme zase jell stale nia a nine, aa jsme piijeli k Malibu Lake. Zde to bylo pohadkove krasne. Na druhe strane od nas byly domeeky hezoueke, postavene na kopcich, na stranich hory, aneb na rovnem misteeku. Bylo to jak obrazek ze 80carska. Jak to musi bytl nadher-

kitrana 5 ny pohled, kdya zde napadne snih! Povidali jsme si s Henrym, ae si zase nekdy sem vyjedem. Kdy2 jsme videli, ae je jia eas na zpateeni cestu, jeli jsme skrze San Fernando fidoli. Jak to zde jinak vypadalo! KdyZ jsme tu jell poprve do Ojai, byly ofechove stromy Upine hole a ted' byly pine listi a pekhe urostle, tea ovocne sady byly pine ovoce. Zde jsme museli jeti velice pomalu, neb bylo mnoho lidu na ceste, a tea je zajimalo okoli. Ale koneene jsme zase byli doma. Ja, uvakila veeeti piipravili jstine se na pondell. Co ja v pondeli delam jiste vaechny pani uhodnou.

Ten stejny tYden jsme se nasmali pani co jsme ted'. Jest to stara panna, aneb jak si ony ratty kikaji, polehnani svobody. CoSi nemela v potadku skrze license na domov a nekdo sem poslal inspektora. Celt' tyden jsme se ji co ona udelala.

Pan inspektor je trochu domySlivi a ona mela dopal, ae ji had° udal. Talc se ji ptal, Pisa nema licensi na venku, ae to je zakon. Ona odpovedela, ae to mela jak zakon aade, na dva tYdny a podala mu 11stek. On mu spadl, on se ohnul ae ho zvedne a byla mu videt lahvieka v zadni kapse. On sotva vstal, neb si tea dosti ptihnul. Pani si dala ruce v boky a povidd: "Pane inspektore, co budete dnes weer delat?" Pan inspector se honem narovnal a povidal: "Ja chci, abyste vedela, ae ja jsem poctivy aenaty mua", a hned byl prye. A taky ji vie neptiSel obteaovat. -Tak jsem musela tea nee° napsat pro zasmani.

VSichni ovSem nejsou stejni, a proto se v§ichni neorganisuji. Jsou i takovi, kteri jsou ochotni delat pro vlast jenom, "kdy'2 jim z toho neco kouke.". Ani jim nenapadne neco delat, kdyz z toho nemaji profit.

Takovi vAichni sleduji praci spolku se sve neeinne povYknosti, stojice mimo.

Predseda spolku Zdenek Gaigher je zamestnan v obchode, 'Cast° cestuje a nerna proto mnoho easu se venovat spolku. Starost o spolkove veci proto zustava jednateli Baeakovi.

Spolek byl zalo2en v r. 1938, a i kdyi byl za nemecke okupace rozpuSten, na gly se jine formy prate. Pres Marseille prchali bojovnici proti Hitlerovi do Anglie. Os. kolonie pomahala temtO lidem, prestiAe byli nekteri einovnici zateeni. Kryci organisaci byl evangelicky krajanskjr spolek.

V roce 1945 obnovila kolonie svoji einnost. Konaly se sbirky pro pomoc do vlasti, bylo treba podavat informace o chOvan' krajanii za \talky. Ne v'Sichni byli politicky uveclomeli, a narodne pevni. Dokonce se vyskytli i takovi "bojovnici za svobodu", 2e se obohacovali z penez urdenjrch pro uprchliky . a lidi v illegalite.

Dr. Brzakovi, dr. Dubinovi a Stillovi dokonce hrozilo zastreleni pro takovY njr parasitismus. Zachranili se Utekem z Francie. Pravdepodobne dnes uz °pet kdesi Sikovne 'Ziji a moZna dobre zpeneZuji svoje "odbojove zasluhy".

Po dobe intensivni prate, pine nebezpeel, za valky, a rozsahle ainnosti bezprostredne po osvobozeni Francie, upada spolkova einnost tak, jak se pomery vraceji do mirovjrch koleji.

ZkauSela, nedal-li by se mud polanouti, aby ji rozurnel, aby nekdy pomazlil se s ni jako s ditetem. Ale Rambousek ji neporozumel, nepochopoval skryte proudy jejiho chteni a toudeni, a k jejimu dovadeni odpovidal shovivavYm Usrnevem a slovy mime karav:\"-nai.

Tn ji .oalo. Napred jen pri mocati jejiho nitra citila proti nejaila . . Ale pozcleji se hotkost mezuiioikly po,sineeh a laenost, v p Itt oruilym selkarn, kdyd rntiZ0ve

Cirn vice tyto mySlenky v sobe divila, tim ohniveji jeji obrazotvornost pracovala, a nova prieiny k vzajemne kyselosti vyhleclavala. Nahle poeala prati si deti. Tak nenaddle, jak tato mySlenka v ni vznikla, rovned ryehle v ni vzkypela a vSecku ji, zachvatila. Rambousek se podivil, kdyd jednou z eIsta jasna dena mu vyeitala, proe nemaji deti, pro koho se drou a jakou radost molaou miti ze'sveho bezneelneho divota.

Bodla ho vYaitka denina, protode ani on nebyl prost mySlenek podobnYch. Vycit'oval ze clo y deninYch, de on je vSim tim vinen, de jemu plati prihana ye slovech jejich skryta, a zmaten pseal se vyhYbati der* aby ji nerozeiloval jeSte vice.

Za nejakY eas nahle vzplanuti jell() deny samo sebou zhaslo. Vysmala, se tiSe v skrytu sobe same, de je tak poSetila. Nenaa.-li deti, at' nema, usuzovala lehkomysine. VSak je ji bez inch lepe. Co jine s nirni zakouSeji, jich se naopatruji a pro ne vytrpi. To ona ma pokoj od podobnYch starosti. Nic ji nevyruSuje z pokoje, bez trapeni lehne, bez trapeni vstane. A jata nahlou litosti, de mudi ublidovala, snadila se pribliditi se mu. Lichotila se mu, smala se, sama mu nadbihala a jako hladka kdeka vinula se v jeho loktech, vzal-h ji nekdy do naruei a rozehral se k nalade srdeenejSi a driven-10Si. Tak, podobna vice svobodne divce, ned vdane — jak Lid take jeji postava nesla se vaecka vice k podobnosti divei — dila dosti berstarostne, nesouc vSak stale v sobe touhu po ohnivYch stycich, po nichd vzdychala za svobodna.

Tu propustili orate, jehod dosud men a na ktereho sedlak tune drdel. Zbil jednou kone, de se musplaSili a Rambousek od to doby nic riedbal na jine jeho dobre vlastnosti. Chtel, aby ecledin s dobytkem za,chazel opatrne, a nebyl by mel nyni klidne chvile, kdyby stale nebyl pH °rad.

Vojta sam se hla.sil ye statku, de Pyl Sel do sludloy. Prijali ho. Rambousek jeAte by bYval vahal, ale selce se od prvni chvile zalibil. Byl jako sedlak vysokY, ramenatY, v pohybech neobratnY, s velkou, hladkou, Sirokou tvari. Tvare mu kvetly mladim a velke modre oei usmivaly se tak dobracky a pritulno. Selka stale se divala jen na jeho podivne, jako zamdene cei a citila, de ji k scbe 'tahnou.

Smala se na orrice a fined s nim byla samY hovor. ' Odpovidal ji rail, raal hi postai, klabasil vSecko, 0 Bern ve vs i dovodel,

ji vypravoval, a ukazoval, de p'red selkou nema strachu, de ji jaksi poklkla za svou dobrou zna.mou, pied kterou nema tajnosti. Jji to tail° a Vojtovi nadrdovaia. Leccos mu podstreila a aby mud o torn nevedel, do vYmenku volala ho na, mlsek.

VYmenkarka eim vice starla, tim macneji byla pripoutana k dceri. Prove proto, de dcera neukazovala ji nikdy Skarede tvari, de kolem ni obskakovala, k ni se lichotila a matce na jevo davala uprimnou a nelfeenou pritulnost, dila temar jen pro ni. Nevidela jeji chyby, vSe co dcera delala, rnela za spravne, poklesky jeji onaYvala do krajnosti.

TeSilo ji, de Vojta je k selce, de na panimamu drH, ji chvali a hezky se k ni chova. NetuSila, de pozdeji bude museti Multi i jine Ustupky, Vdila se do toho domneni, de Vojta do statku se hodil a de by nedotasli dadneho lepSiho eloveka a oraee.

Od to doby mel Rambousek pokoj od rozmaril deninYch. Jako by se ho nyni bola, radeji vyhnula se mu, a musela11 s nim bYti pohromade,, byla stisnena, vadna a mleeliva. Na mude divala se jako na osobnost, ke ktere musime miti rictu a s kterou neni zahodno prichazeti do stykii prilis UzkYch. Po nekolik mesicri trval tento zvlaStni divot na statku. A potom tak nahle, jako vtibec u selky prichazely jeji vYbuchy nalady, priSel take rozhodnY okamP1k, ji prenes1 dale, ned snad s poeatku si pralala. VSe se sbehlo jaksi samo sebou, bez nasili, zcela prirozene.

Ramlpousek hlidal klisnu, nechteje sveriti to ordei, a spal nekolik dnu v chleye. Vojta Sel k muzice a selka, kdyd klidila doma, vybehla jen tak po domdcku podivat se jako druhe selky do hospody, jak chasa se -Wei. Sotva veSla do dusne, kourem napinene mistnosti, pojala ji sladka zavrat' a ud nedbala, neni hezky ustrojend. Protlaeila se dale a eekalaa dychtive, vezme-li ji kdo k tanci.

MySlenka chirurgickeho leeeni tuberkulosy plic neni nova. Prvni popud k ni byl dan ji22 v roce 1850 jistYm praktickYm lekarem, ktery pozoroval pripad tuberkulosy, vyleeeny po zanetu pohrudnice s vYpotkem.

Prvni take podal vysvetleni k tomuto neeekanemu leeebnemu vYsledku a siee tak, ze plice vYpotkem pohrudnicovYm byly stlaaeny, a vyloneeny z dYchani, coZ vedlo k vyhojeni tuberkulostni eristi plic.

Teprve tesne pied svetovou valkou porozvoj teto metody leeeni plicni tuberkulosy a dukladne jeji studium. Dnes ma tato leeba v leeeni phuti tuberkulosy vYsadni postaveni.

Co je podstatou chirurgickeho leeeni tuberkulosy plic? ChirurgickY zakrok netYka se vlastni Tame plicni, nYbrZ" je to zakrok neptimY, majici za iteel vyloueiti chorobnou Cast plic z dYcliani a vyvolati jeji kolapsi (stlaeeni). NejvetSi pokrok moderni leeby chirurgicke spoeiva v leeeni t. zv. umelYm pneumothoraxem.

Principem teto metody je vpouSteni vzduchu do mezery mezi plicemi a hrudnikem za tim iteelem, aby se plice oddalily a zavedl t. zv. kolaps plic. Plice, ktere jsou pruZne, vzduchem se stlaei, splasknou.

Toto stlaeeni plic ma leeivy teinek, obsahuji-li stlaeene plice tuberkulosni doupe, till kavernu. Timto stlaeeni plic nastane sploSteni kaverny, priblfZeni jejich okraka, po pripade nastane i prilehnuti sten kaverny k sobe a jeji hojeni jizvou.

"Ani rune napadne. Nemam proe se ackoliv, kciybys neprojevila dosti dobre vnle se zmeniti, poradim mu, aby se poohledl jinde. Tak, ted' vii, jak jsem. Zitra nebo pozith sem zase zajedu. a potcm si rekneme, jak bude dale mezi nami. Zda. sc mi, '2'e Willy to vola, pujdu s tebou k nemu."

Z vedlejSi svetnice dolebal sem kink, jako by nekdo stenal nebo vyhroZoyal.

Terner oteviel dvere, spatril Padoka sediciho na, rozhazenem lo2i. Jeho vlasy byly rozeucbany a klate yrchni eatela, rukcu eemuci brazil.

"Vodu, Mabel," kneel zlostne.

Jdi pro vodu, must uhasiti peklo, ktesi vnera opatfil," povidal farmar i, lidne a blilil Se k nemu. Padok otoeil ,sve strhane net. a jeho vYraz se se-x.rfel ye zlY USklebek. `Co to chceS?" zajeeel vztekle. "Tahni antud, jsi takovY darebak jako ostatni.

Ani videti te nechci, nikoho nechci vi(lett Se v§emi s vami se srovnam, pa e'ertech vas vyplatim, nieemo ye, v prve race Loho Holmesa, Bidnik, vrah, prom ho mel zabiti, d'abel Sam je v nem skryt a zabiju ho, Buh je mi svedkem, ae ho zabiju."

VytreSlil °CH, ktere Silene svitily a ccjeho tel.° se traslo jako v zimnici. Terner se klidne nail dival a mleel. Znal ho IE.; a vedel, to je nutno nechati ho vybouriti, aby byl pristupnY rozumnym slovtiim. Litost pocitil nad tim nmZern jehoZ jadro bylo dobie, a ktery vlivem zlYch okolnosti byl strZen do hlubin, v nichZ se potacel. Mabel pribehla s vodou a Padok dychtive chytiv nadobu, pit cllouhYmi douSky. "Co jsem mu udelal, ze me stale pronasleduje?" ptal se jako cam sebe. "Nielm jsem mu neublilil, ale on celY rntij aivot zmahl. Ta.1 jsem se, ze mi da pokcj, tak dobie se mi zaealo dariti a Zivot me te§iti a uc se zase objevil.

"NeZabije§, protole milj syn se zde vice neobjevi. Nevedel jsem o tom, co chce podniknouti, a kdy'i, jsem se to do-

vedel, promluvil jsem s nun. Frank bude nekolika tYdnech s jinou. Kdyby tva Mabel mela jinou krev, byla by ona mou dcercu, ale ona se do me fanny Dehodi a proto si ji Frank nevezme."

"Take ji polardaS?" vyjel vztekle tobe je spatna?"

"Neni Spatna, rad ji main, ale ty viS dobie, ze nejsem z americke krve a nedovolim smisiti svou krev s cizi krvi. Nodela to, Willy, dobrotu, sang sec o tom presvedeil ye vlastni rodine."

Uprel non sva krvi zalite eel, chtel cosi rici, potom vsak svesil hlavu a mleel.

"Snad` je tomu tak," povidal pa chvili zamyMene. "Ale ona je dobra, jell pro ni jsem na svete, a jen pro ni nechei Udelati, co mne tak east° naadalo. Ale udelam to, Tony, Huh je nzl svedkem, ze udelam."

"A komu pctom sveriS sve dite? Ted' se chceS s celYm svetem rvat k vuli sve dceri, kterou maS rad, ale at by tebe zabili, kdo by se o ni staral? Koralka omamila, zapominaS' premY:;leti, a ja, protole to znam, nechavam te povidat tve blaznive reel. Kdybych te tak dlouho neznal, ant bych s tebou nemluvil a za put roku by tva Parma byla mat. Ale ja to znam a vim, co je v tcbe. Ted' hezky poslouchej. Sam jsi rekl, ze jsi zaeal dobie Ziti. Radost jsem z tebe met a teill se, jaky gentleman se z tebe stane.

A Mabel bude trpeti s tebou, stane se predmetem posmechu, a zabijej koho chceS', nic tim nedokaJeS. A ty nikoho nezabijeS. , to je praye, co te ucini ubohYrn, protole -tide nemaji strachu z medveda, kterY nema zubit, a z vika, kterY sice vyje, ale nikdy nikomu nic neudela."

"Zabiju ho," kneel zbesile a rukamn, ermoval.

"Snad ye snu. Padok dovede zabijet zvirata a no lidi," povidal vaZne. "Snad kdyby ses nee() takoveho bys provedl, ale ty mat zdravY rozum a a.2,. z tveho mozku zrnizi para koralky, bude'S se za to, co mluviS, stydeti. Poslechni, nee° ti povim. Postaram se, aby Holmes ti Sel z eesty a nikdy te neznepokojoval. Mttj Frank se oleni s mou neteri Terezcu, a po snatku se pristehuji do pity jako spoleenik Dumattiv. Nikdo sem nebude dachazeti ruSlt tviij pckoj, a ty, bud6-11 moudrY, bude'S nasim tretim spoleenikem. Nechci sve start obtititi hrichem, abych tebe v neeem okradl.

DobrY °bean z tebe bude a tva Mabel bude dcerou elo yeka, kterY bude mitt vaZnost mezi lidmi. Je to snad nepoctiVa vec?"

'Ve sti'edu, One 25. ledna 1050.

Padok se na neho dival podeziraqm pohledem, ale bylo znati, ze se usilovIle snazi soustrediti my'Slenky a 'mhopiti, co mu farmar povida.

"A proe sem tedy Frank jezdil? Proe, s Holmesem proti cone se spikl?"

"Prato& je blazen jako ty, dela veci bez rozva,Zeni a bez meho svoleni. A s Holmesem mi dej pokoj, nic s nlm nemain a miti nebudu. Je to soused-farmar, a snad nechceS", abych se s kaalYm, s kYm se kou geg , take kousal? Znag dost dlouho, abys vedel, i.e ma slovo plati vic, net prisahy a Upisy. Co chceg jeSte vecieti, abys koneene uveril?"

Mleel chvili a nepokoj jim zmital. Bylo zrejmo, ze bajuje,,Ze se snaZi potlaeiti sve rOzril§eni a nalezti spravnou cestu.

PokojnY a rozhodnY ton Terneru y na neho neinkoval, ale take probuzene jeho urine se haul:11v a cdporovaly.

"Nenutim te, Willy, rozhodni se, jak chceS," ozval se Terner po chvili. "Da gsi Mei a zincudrig-li, je dobte. Nedag-li si rici, take dobre. Zajedu si ke smireimu soudel a oznamim mu, ze jsi Mvotu lidskemu nebezpeenY a i.e je nutno, aby to dali na eas no pozorovani do nstavu chorcmyslnYch.

"Prisatiej mne, ze ses s Holmesem nedomluvil," tadal prudce.

"JakZiv jsem na hlcuposti neptisa.hal a me slava staeilc jinSfin lidem nez jsi ty. Slovo jsem ti dal a ty ted' 4adpovidej."

"Tony, neopougtej mne," zaprosil uzkostlive a jeho hlas byl blizek plael. "Nikomu jsem neublilil a nikomu nechci ubliliti, ale at' ten lotr mi jde s testy. Opravdu bych ho zabil, vet mi, i.e nehrczim do vetru. Mel jsem ho ostatne zabiti da yno, ale to jsem si vhly ptipomnel, ze je to elovek. Chybil jsem a lituji toho.

Mabel bazlive ho nasledovala, podlehajic jeho vlivu, aelcoliv i v jejim nitru byla boute vzdoru. 0ekala, ze snad zaene znovu ji domlouvati a prositi, ale Terner vyiel ven ani si ji nepov:§imnu y . Zamitil k pile a rozhli2eje se bystke po pile, hledal alma Dumata.

"Nebudeme-li miti v potadku jidlo, ne budeme pracovat," zavolal jeden z delnikti vyhrtUne. "Viirnej si sveho dila a mle," oktikl ho clarazne. "Jeite neni eas k jidlu, a al bude, dostand, co ti patti.

Delnik zamra'eene se nan podival, nic viak neodpovidal, huee cosi sam pro sebe, co uz Ternera nerozeilovalo. Vidal Dumata a chvatal k nemu.

"Pojd' trechu dale," pobidl ho, "meli bychom to brzy revoluci, kdybychom ohni na hlavu neilapli. Padok slibil ndpravu, ale klade podminku, kterou jsem Nenavidi Holmesa, coa neni nic noveho, ale ted' propukla nenavist. Musii k Holmesovi."

"Najdu ho coma?"

"Najdei. Zajedu kolem jeho ohrad a vzkau mu, aby te eekal. Bud' s nim 0patrnY a nic mu netikej, co se zde deje.

Viak on si domysli z toho, co mu vzkalu.

Vytid' mu, aby byl velmi opatrnST a aby nekolik tS7driti zdaleka se vyhnul pile Mabel. Povez mu, k mu kladu na srdce, aby si nezahraval, protok Padok zuti a pti nejmenii prieine by spinil svou hrozbu a zabil by ho. Ja si to pteji, aby nepodnecoval bouti, a. kdyby neposlechl, sam bych zakroeil. Doma si udelam pokadek sam a take Frankovi hlavu napravim. Mluvil bych s Holmesem sam, ale nekdo by me mchl videti, a kdyby se Padok dovedel o naiem setkani. podeziral by znovu a bylo by nova peklo.

"Myslite, ze mi Holmes uveti? Maio se zname, a rime ptipada, trochu panovitY." "To je a jeite horii je, ale teknei-li mu, Z'e te ja posilam a vzkazuji, co mu vytidii, nebude pochybovati.

"Pracuje dost, ale stale rozumuje a stale je nespokojen. Budu rad, al se sem ptistehujete."

"Take se no, to taim. Ty nezno.i zdejii a nevii, jak se toeiti, kdyz ptijde rozhodna chvile. Az za rok budei miti lepii rozum a dostanei take jinou povahu. Jinak neni nic noveho?"

"Vie jde dobte, bcjim se pouze ledil a jarnich ptivalti."

"Proti tomu se zabezpeeime, sam, k to neni talc hrozne. Viudy, kde elovek pracuje, eiba, nebezpeeenstvi, je viak nutno poznati tyto aklady a kliti jim. Nu, nejhorii je odbyto, a ty nezapomeri na yeeer,. Hezky ostte to Holmescvi povez, aby si nemyslil, Ze se ho snad bojim."

"A nevyhovi-li?"

"On vyhovi. Snad na oko se bude vzpirat, ale do zjevneho boje se nepusti. A kdyby piece se pustil, poili mi rano listek, musil bych zakroeiti ja. sam. Tohle Frankovi neodpustim, on je vlastne ptieinou, ze mame takcvou starost, a jsem jist, Ze Holmes ho k tomu podnecoval.

Pojd', proved' me po pile a potom pojedu zpet."

Pochodil po zavodu a jeho bystre oei viimly si vieho a vie odhadovaly. Byl spokojen, pila rostla a delnici u2 se 'zapracovali. Spokojene odchazel ke svemu koni a vide'', jak Mabel pobiha a chysta jidlo. Pousmal se malieko a znovu Dumatovi ulo2iv, co ma Holmesovi vytiditi, vsedl na kone a jel doma. Zajel si kus cesty kolem ohrady Holmesovy a zavolav jednoho z jeho lidi, nakizoval mu, aby behem dne panovi, ze yeeer k nemu ptijede jeho posel se vzkazem a ze musi zastati doma.

Kdy, pkijel doma, mleky chodil po svet nici a potom vyiel yen k nejblizii ohrade, kde Frank byl zamestnan. Syn podival se zpytave po otci, vida viak jeho AralnY vSiraz, neodvaZil se na nic se ptati.

Az kdy" byl eas k obedu a oni spoleene se vraceli, v pall ceste se zastavil.

"Na pile bylo zle," povidal suie. "Tvaj nerczumnY skutek zavinil mnoho zleho a dalo mi praci, nez jsem °heir uhasil.

Skrabanek. Since this article deals with the people of the Czech descent, it is reprinted here with the permission of the author. Dr. Skrabanek, a member of Lodge Slovan No. 9, is professor at the Texas A. and M. College. The article, we are sure, will be enjoyed by many of our SPJST members, especially those living in the community described. Up to these days, it was really a rare occasion to see authoritative and impartial articles appear in any professional journals. Dr. Skrabanek, deserves full recognition and appreciation for his work.)

FORMS OF COOPERATION AND MUTUAL AID IN A CZECHAMERICAN RURAL COMMUNITY ROBERT L. SKRABANEK Texas A. and M. College Different farming groups in America have long had a deep-seated tradition of assisting one another by mutual aid activities. These 'practices, however, have apparently diminished in popularity and gradually mutual aid activities are becoming a thing of the past. Particularly non-contractual forms of cooperation have all but disappeared from the rural community of today. Yet, among a group of Czechs who live in a rural farming community which is located in the southern portion of Burleson County, Texas , several different forms of mutual aid and cooperation are in evidence at the present time. There are a number of possible reasons for the retention of these different forms of cooperation but one of these is outstanding. Necessity, dating back several centuries, forced the Czech farmers to work together for the attainment of common or similar objectives. Realizing the value of collective action, they relied on self-help and so strongly indoctrinated the younger generations of

this -particular ethnic group with a spirit of cooperation that it has become a part of their cultural heritage.* * (A "Czech" as used in this paper is defined as one whose nationality derivation is from Czechoslovakia and who is, in the minds of the local residents, a Czech-American. Such an individual is not a Czech. He is an American and is called a Czech only for the purpose of distinguishing between the person of Czech ancestry and those of non-Czech ancestry.)

Historical Background of the Community During the latter part of the nineteenth century in the land which was to later become known as Czechoslovakia, the peasant suffered many hardships and only through cooperation and mutual aid activities were individuals able to survive. Persecuted for their religious and political beliefs, their language and culture suppressed, these people became interested in the democratic way of life in the New Country, where each could become a land owner and obtain the individual freedom he so desired. Emigration to America was their only hope of freedom.

The first Czech family arrived in what is now known as the Snook Community in 1884. Within the brief span of some ten years, the area was settled by this nationality group, and a Czech cultural island was created. At the present time over 97 per cent of the residents in its 98 households belong to this nationality derivation. Since the Czechs had little in common with the native whites in the surrounding area, they set up a community organization of their own where all of the ideals and what seemed to them to be "the really good things in life" brought from their mother country could thrive and bear fruit.

As a people the Czechs differed in cultural concepts from their neighboring nationality groups in that they attached values to different things and different values to the same things. They felt a need for being self-sufficient in the pursuit of their economic and social interests. The value of cooperation and mutual aid as a means of survival was recognized early in the history of the community, and habitual relations of

mutual helpfulness between farmers remained deeply graven in the patterns of their culture.

Early Forms of Cooperation A cooperative general merchandise store was organized by the Czechs in the Snook community as early as 1886.

This action preceded the construction of either the school or the church. The cooperative store .development was followed by the organization of the first benevolent and education society in the area in 1887. This national organization was known as the Ceoko-Slovensky Podporujici Spolek (The Czechoslovak Benevolent Society), commonly known as the CSPS. Local branches of this association were established throughout the United States wherever Czech immigrants settled. The organization was non-sectarian and paid out benefits to the sick and beneficiaries of the deceased. In about 1888 the members of the local organization built a lodge hall.

This structure became the community center, and many colorful recreational activites were carried on in it. Since this mutual benefit organization was so popular, it is difficult to overestimate its value in the cultural, social, and fraternal life of the Czechs in the infant community.

Swapping of labor and the ownership of farm equipment cooperatively was a common practice. When a community resident became sick, his neighbors took "time cut" from their work to harvest his crops at no cost to the owner. In addition to these cooperative efforts, shortly after the Czechs arrived in this country they formed a beef club.

Through this medium of cooperative effort, the inhabitants availed themselves of the opportunity to have fresh beef every wek of the year, and the club furnished a convenient weekly meeting place for the farmers where they could, discuss mutual problems, the weather, the -crops, and matters of community interest.

Forms of Cooperation in Practice Today Snook farmers have a deep-seated tradition of assisting one another in their farm work. Over one-half of the farm operators in the community reported that they still "swap" labor with another person in the community.

This, however, is not a common occurrence, for the farmers pride themselves in furnishing only the best of beef, and a good deal of competition exists between individual farmers to see who can "kill" the largest steer having tender meat.)

Thus, in general, one could conclude that different forms of cooperation and mutual aid activities among the Czechs in this area are more extensive today than has been characteristic of rural America for several decades, Such practices as the exchange of farm work, sharing farm machinery and other facilities, growing crops together for the common benefit of the community, teaching children of different sects in a Bible School together on a non-denominational basis, mutual benefit organizations, and the operation of community-sponsored beef clubs are forms of cooperation and mutual aid that exist in the Snook Community at a time whbn these activities have all but disappeared from the rural community of today. ) • 4, • (

Our No. 1 Citizen There is a radio program each Sunday afternoon at 1:30 known as Mr. President. It is well dramatized and features that well-known and popular actor, Edward Arnold. This program brings out very vividly the many problems with which our Presidents are confronted. The stories on the broadcast are based upon actual happenings during the administration of the President portrayed in each episode.

Some of our Presidents have died martyrs of assassins' bullets. Others have died in office, victims of mental and physical strain occasioned by the great responsibilities placed upon them.

This exalted position most certainly cannot be termed "a bed of roses." No matter which political party succeeds in putting its candidate in the White House. the Chief Executive is not in all respects going to please even his own constituency. He will be praised and condemned, no matter which direction the pendulum may swing.

The business of such nations as ours is definitely not a one-man job, so it becomes necessary to surround the President with a law-making body and a Cabinet, representative of the different departments of government, education, banking, labor, agriculture, industry, and all phases of economics must be included. Many debatable and controversial questions come up before these bodies, and while we have a Sec-

VP,STNiK—WEST, TEXAS ret ary of State, Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, and other secretaries of less importance, the President is Chief over all.

Many outstanding men and some lesser lights have been candidates for the high office of President. Candidates, in most instances, are approved because they have filled either State or National positions and often because they hail from some section of the Nation where they might be a factor in influencing votes. Upon a political platform a candidate is nominated and he immediately becomes the recognized leader of his party. If elected, he becomes the leader and representative of approximately 150,000,000 people. To please all voters and millions of potential youthful voters is a target hard to shoot at with precision. If Congress is not friendly the aim cannot be relied upon.

Our two major-party systems are unquestionably democratic, yet political antagonism is so prevalent that no matter how well the party in favor succeeds it is rather generally and severely criticized by political opponents. The President, as it were, becomes a veritable target. Some Presidents can thrive on it while with others it acts as a most troublesome stumbling block. The criticisms are often abusive and destructive, yet the President of our Nation is our No. 1 citizen. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press in our democracy are granted to us but in speaking disparagingly of the President, our first citizen, I am wondering if we are not abusing our much-enjoyed freedoms.

Differences of opinion exist among men, even when they are members of the same religious or political organizations. This is true in every walk of life. These facts make it impossible for any one individual to decide momentous questions that will be satisfactory to all in a single or collective grotip. The President, to be such, must have attained a certain degree of success in former undertakings. OtherWise he would never have been selected as the leader of a great political party. He holds an honorable position and at heart is interested in the welfare of the Nation he has been selected to serve.

Let the Nation, in turn, honor him by instilling in the hearts of all our people and the nations of the world that the President of the United States is worthy of the honor we have bestowed and that he is entitled to the most profound respect at home and abroad, regardless of political affiliations.

To pay homage or proper respect to the President of our Nation should be a pleasure to all good Americans. Con-

Forward With 1950 You've seen that attractive ad in the Vestnik, that cute little fellow with the 1950 streamer.

When I saw that ad for the first time, I impulsively said, "Hello, 1950." Then I reflected that it should be a new start with this young kid : and I began to think more soberly. Not in words, but in thoughts I addressed that little newcomer again.

Hello, 1950. This is a pretty bewildering world for such a young fellow to enter. It isn't like it used to be when your brothers dropped around to spend a year. Then life was simple. Two and two made four. If you worked you ate and if you loafed you didn't. Hardly anybody got paid for doing nothing, and nobody made a career of going on relief.

And all the gold was not buried in the ground in Kentucky.

To say, 1950, that we are nuttier than a fruit cake is to understate the case.

We haven't made up cur minds what we are going to do about China; what we are going to do about a lot of other things. We drift from one expediency to another, yet manage to keep in mind the priceless precept that he who gives away the most to the greatest number remains longest in power.

To saddle all these problems on your poor little back seems brutal, but you might as well learn early that life is a pretty kettle of fish. No one expects you to be able to solve them all. But if you could concentrate on just one thing:. and get it straightened out, you would be remembered as a jewel among years.

We refer, 1950, to the Governments' farm price-support program which prevents prices from going to their natural level.

Uncle Sam, it seems, has a two billion dollars inventory right now, including some 5 million bales of cotton, 400 million bushels of wheat, 600 million bushels of corn, 400 million pounds of linseed oil, 16 million bushels of flaxseed, over 700 million pounds of dried eggs, more than 100 million pounds of butter, 30 million dollars' worth of dried milk, to say nothing of large stores of tobacco, Lung oil, dried fruit, turpentine, rosin, sheep's and goat's wool, soybeans, turkeys, peanuts, and walnuts.

Lodge Stefanik No 142 Dear Readers: As no reports have been given on the activities of Stefanik Lodge since before Xmas, I would like to do so.

First, I wish to thank Mrs. Ann Ward in helping me decorate the lodge for Xmas holidays. Many, many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Sebek and their splendid work in making our Xmas prograin a success.. The tableaux "Child in Bethlehem" was most beautiful, with characters superb. The figures were: Saint Mary—Mary Chupik; Joseph— Frank Zapalac; Sheperds—David Triska, Bennie Cooper, and Richard Angela; Three angels—Margaret Triska, Virginia Ann Cooper and Georgia Krustchinsky.

The Xmas Carrols and various poems were sung and recited by the children mentioned above, also Dorothy Cooper, Ranelle and Kay Sturm, Mrs. Anna Vaja, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Sebek, Mr. Albert Sebek, Mrs. Mary Chupik, Charlie Sontag (violin solo) George Champion and last, but not least Bennie Hess.

The "Blowing Bubbles" song, sung by Mrs. Rudolph Sebek in both English and Czech with rainbow colored bubbles flogging in the back ground was a very outstanding feature.

Mrs. Jerry Triska and Mrs. Fred Cooper deserve the credit in the costumes and the angel's new wings. Girls, I know this was quite a job but I know too you were quite elated when you saw the results in the tableaux. Many thanks to all of you for your grand cooperation.

Our New Year's Eve dance was quite an event also. The attendance was grand. The midnight play "A New Year's Eve Malady" was the year 1949 receding into the background, growing to feeble to walk, finally gave way to end his time on the ground. As he lay there a fairy read his thoughts and brought to reality his reign of the twelve months past. With misty eyes, he viewed each month as it went by telling in rhyme of its outstanding dates. As December made its way off the stage, the clock began striking mid-night.

1949 passed on and new year-1950 (Lerna Gayle Sturm) came flying in with two armloads of colored balloons; wishing everyone a Happy New Year and at the same time throwing the ballooms to the waiting audience who began to sing "Should auld Acquaintance be Forgot?" Everyone had a wonderful time. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mary Chupik and Frank Zapalac in helping me with the New

Strana 24 Year's Eve program. Many thanks to the children too.

The yearly official meeting of Stefanik Lodge was held the first Sunday in January and by ballot votes, officers were elected.

Following are the officers of 1950: President—Alois Vaja, Vice-PresidentMrs. J. F. Kovar, Secretary—Mrs. Mary Chupik, Treasurer—Mrs. Alice Reid; Board of Directors: Mr. J. F. Kovar and Mr. Otto Krustchinsky; Auditing Committee, Mrs. Vera Krustchinsky, Mr. Frank Tymel, and Mrs. Alberta Krustchinsky. Due to limited time, a new entertaining committee was not elected.

This election will take place the first Sunday in February.

Continuation of yearly premium payments by the Stefanik Lodge of its disabled older members was voiced and accepted.

The Entertaining Committee of 1949 sponsored quite a number of social activities, such as a Box Supper and Dance, seven Bingo Game Parties, Valentine Party, 4 Czech Suppers, a Czech Play (proceeds which were divided between seven ill members) Anniversary Program, 2 Barbecues, 2 Presentations of Woman-less Wedding, Xmas and New Year's programs and a number of dances. All in all, we had quite a gala year.

Since this is my last report, Brother Associate Editor, I wish to thank you for correcting my articles and for the kind posteript notes which I sincerely appreciated.

THANKS AGAIN to all of you who took part in our social functions and to those of you whose patronage helped Stefanik Lodge make 1949 a very successful year.

As ever, Amelia Sturm (Editor's Note—That statement of yours, "my last- report," is difficult to understand. DoeS that imply that Lodge Stefanik failed to give you the function of reporting for the year of 1950? Your Lodge needs you. As to correcting of your articles, there was absolutely nothing to be corrected.

Even your writing of the proper names —which the editor usually has to print above the reporters' writing—even that printing of names was not necessary.

The readers of the Vestnik will be looking for your future contributions, so don't disappoint them.) ) • 4 Other investments ask a dollar and promise three cents. The SPJST asks three ce is and actually pays a dollar.

VPSTNIK— WPM, TEXAS

Farmer's Ways of Predicting Weatiner Here in Texas we don't venture to predict weather. When we do, we make it with a degree of reservation or a remark that only a newcomer or a fool can predict Texas weather.

Yet, if any "weatherwise" farmer had kept a year's record of his own weather predictions, and if at the end of the year he would compare his predictions with that of the local weather bureau, he could be surprised by the percentage of accuracy in both methods. Although chances for guessing correctly is always on the 50-50 basis, any record kept by a farmer would be highly interesting. I would say that the "old timer" might come out far better than the scientific weather bureau with all its ballons and isotherms. Who has not sat reading yesterday's paper while rain poured down in an all day torrent •utside—and noticed the paper's weather report "tomorrow clear and warmer"?

It is a great asset to the ordinary farmer to be weatherwise. He may have a rheumatic joint that tells him, "Get your tomatoes set out today—we're going to have a nice long rain that will settle them just right." He knows that a good mulch after that will fix them up for the rest of the season. No watering, no hoeing. Just wait and pick your tomatoes. But if he sets out the young plants at the beginning of a two week drought, what a difference! Watering and worrying will wear him down.

An ability to forecast the weather is surely one of the requisites for a green thumb. • Here folk lore is a valuable help. Often we read something like this: "Superstitions give way to modern science. Up-to-date devices to forecast weather now take the place of folk fables." Such smugness makes me smile. Our ancestors for thousands of years have noted clouds and winds, trees and insects, and these same ancestors were able to tell whether or not the rain was falling when it was, actually, falling. They lived close to nature and kept their eyes open. Their little axioms and sayings about the weather had experience behind them.

"Mackerel sky, not three days dry."

The sky covered with regular scalelike rows of small clouds is one of the surest signs of rain. It doeSn't always come at once, but often it does, within three days.

"When the clouds look as though they were scratched by a hen You'd better get your live-stock in."

Ve stii;edu, due 25. ledna 1950.

This may be another way of saying the same thing, applied to winter storms as well as to summer rain.

An early morning shower is often followed by a clear day—hence: "Rain before seven.

Clear before eleven."

Often a shower is followed by a cessation of rain. After a few hours the storm may begin again and go on for a day or two. On the other hand it may clear up. How to tell which will happen? If bubbles form on puddles and stay a long time without breaking, the storm will last. Likewise if drops of water hang a long time on wires and leaves, look for more rain. If you can get transplanting done during one of those lulls between downpours, you are wise and lucky. That is, if you have good spongy humus-filled soil that will not cake if handled when wet.

It is a sign of rain when ants leave their front doors open. If you notice the little holes as you walk along a path or hard clay road, look for rain.

Whether they have rheumatic joints or not, the ants know the weather in advance.

"When no dew is on the grass Rain will surely come to pass."

When an early morning walk through the grass leaves you without a drop of moisture on your shoes, there is likely to be rain during the day. This I- have found to be a fairly accurate rule, but, like others, not one hundred percent infallible.

"A sky of deep unclouded blue Means rain in a day or two."

Or there is another rhyme something like this: "Evening gray , and morning red Send the traveler wet to bed."

When the breezes blow the tree leaves over, so that the under sides show, that is another sign of imminent rain. A ring around the moon means rain, Rabbits running out in the open indicate clear weather, while rain may be expected if you see snails crawling out.

A storm is coming if pigs pick up sticks in their mouths and run here and there, probably with some ancient wild-piggish instinct for building nests at such a time.

Usually rain can be expected before twenty-four hours if low ragged clouds are seen scudding in from the east or south. Generally the higher the clouds, the clearer the weather will be. Those clear days with crystalline air, when sounds carry long distances, mean a bad storm within two or three days.

The distant hills seem to be close at hand. The fireflies are bright and plentiful, and the moon hidden in

Ve stiedu, dne 25. ledna 1950. haloes. The wind whirls in dusty eddies, or the air is unusually cold and still. Spiders peer out from their cobwebby doors, the birds' songs are still, and the clouds look black.

The Chinese foretell the coming of warm weather in spring, as so many days (depending on the locality) from the old Chinese New Year. Since this holiday, like our Easter, depends on the lunar calendar, the moon tells the tale there, too. If the moon changes between 10 P.M. and midnight, weather during the next seven days will be fair in summer, clear and frosty in winter.

In general, moon changes near to midday mean wet weather, changes near to midnight, clear weather Of course an almanac must be consulted to find out at what hour the moon's change comes.

The Japanese have a saying that the weather runs in cycles of seven days:— "Three cold, four hot, or three hot, four cold."

That is, three cool days will be followed by four warm ones, and three warm days by four cool ones. Just how this works out mathematically I could never tell; an extra day of some kind of weather must come in somewhere, sometime.

As stated in the beginning, we don't venture to predict weather in Texas.

But it would be a valuable hobby to jot down a description of weather on which we base our predictions of rain or sunshine. ) • 4 • (

Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 Our play for February is progressing right along and we have a very excellent group of actors taking part. Mr. Anton Svestka, one of our best actors takes the leading role—he plays the part of a domineering husband and father. Mrs. Frances Olexa, who always scores a hit, plays his wife. Their two daughters are played by Wilhelmina Simecek and myself, and their son is played by Jerry Ermis. The other members, of the cast are: Rudy Sefcik, who also has a very long role and is capable of handling one; Tim Kostamlatsky, who has played for many years has a smaller part as has Mrs. Hilsher.

They both appear in the second and third acts. Maxine Stavinoha, our newest member, also makes her appearance in this play. She played her first role in our last play. Amos Kadlecek, who played in quite a number of plays before the war, has a small, but very nice part in this play. He'll be in uniform and I know that he'll make a hit with the ladies.

Our Birthday Club met on the 11th of January and three new members joined Mrs. Emile Syptak, Mrs. Willie Mae Powell and Mrs. Sophie Cole. The ladies on the kitchen, committee served a very nice luncheon of spaghetti with meat balls. Mrs. Tesar donated the wonderful tasting kolace and Mrs. Schutte donated the punch—we had to start the New Year off right. It was the most delicious punch that I have ever tasted—and so colorful with the colored ice floating on top. Next month is Valentine month and those who would like may bring Valentines for whomever they wish. The ladies on the kitchen committee will be: Mrs. Knebl, Baethe, Syptak, Kotrla, Skrahanek and Gaudin.

Those who have birthdays in Feb. are: Mrs. Frances Dvorak, Mrs. Mary Rubach and Mrs. Lucy Sostak. The Birthday Club will meet on the 8th of February.

Rents Went Up A general upswing in. the level of residential rents in decontrolled areas throughout the country was indicated in a survey made by The New York Times. With Federal controls lifted from more than 2,600,000 family rental units during the past 9 months, it was apparent from reports received from all regions that the prices being paid for shelter had broken out of the narrow range in which they had been held by law for about 6 years.

Although about 12,000,000 families, including those in New York City, and nearly all other major population centers, still are under rent-ceiling protection, many of these families have been affected recently by the growing number of approvals by rent authorities of landlord petitions for increases.

From April 1, 1949, the date the present Federal legislation became effective, to December 9 the Office of the Housing Expediter in Washington reported that 631 decontrol actions had been completed, taking 2,587,000 family rental units from its control. In the past 3 weeks several communities have been added to the list.

In the Southwest interest has been centered on the results of decontrol in the large cities of Texas. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the index of rents in Houston rose 11 percent in the 3 months which ended November 15. There was said to be a comparable situation in Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio, all of which have been free of ceiling since September 1.

Rents for some houses in the four cities have been increased 10 to 15 percent, with isolated increases of perhaps as much as 100 percent, according to the Houston Property Owners Association. The association asserted, how -ever, that these increases had been

Strana 26 largely offset by lower rents for many apartments.

'Phere have been recurrent warnings lately that Houston may be "overbuilding" so far as multi-family housing is concerned. A renter's market appears to be returning. There also has been a broad expansion in construction of houses. A further competitive factor has been the return of many houses to the rental market following decontrol. ) • 4

Promotion of a Better Global Understanding "You have heard World Fact No. —.

(Pause) Remember — with knowledge comes understanding, and with understanding comes friendship." Thus reads the script for the closing to a spot announcement on WBAA, Purdue University radio station which features education as its "commercials."

Since 1910 radio activities have been a part of Purdue. The station was licensed in 1922 and now has a permanent staff of 16, 20 students employed part time, and over 200 students on an extracurricular basis. WBAA is wholly owned and noncommercially operated

by Purdue University, its policy being to educate, inform, and entertain in the public interest.

Aside from the innumerable varied and interesting programs it presents, probably WBAA'S present unique contribution to its audience of 3,500,000 persons is its campaign for the promotion of a better international understanding, inaugurated on the air July 5, 1948.

The idea for this was first suggested to Mr. James S. Miles, station director, by speeches made at the 18th Institute of Education by Radio held in May, 1948, at Columbus, Ohio, but the amount of, work it involved can scarcely be described, it was so prodigious.

The purpose, as outlined by Mr. Miles, is ' to inform our listeners of the history, geography, commerce, and customs of the rest of the world," and "our all cut program is using all known radio means at our command; spot announcements, interviews (special and those on existing interview programs), popular and classical music programs, dramatizations, special events — anything and everything that can be util1 7 nd to promote the over-all idea of better international understanding."

A committee of Purdue faculty members was set up to screen all material received from the information services, embassies, and the State Department, which wrote: "Your plan on bettering

Vt STNIX— WEST, TEXAS international understanding is of great interest to us" and put the station on its regular mailing list.

Questionnaires carefully prepared on such subjects as kitchens, music, and agriculture were mailed to foreign information centers and material began to pour in from all the different sources.

These included pamphlets, magazines, books, music recordings, and electrical transcriptions of interviews, speeches, dramatizations, music, etc.

The material actually used consisted of: spot announcements giving factual information .bout the many countries of the world (four different ones are used each day); programs featuring the music of other lands, interviews with foreign students and visitors on aspects of everyday life in their countries; information about the homemaking, agriculture, music, literature, drama included as part cf WBAA's regularly scheduled programs; and electrical transcriptions of speeches, dramatizations, interviews, etc., which help give a picture of life in other lands.

• Samples of spot announcements are: "Are you a believer in the United Nations and its charter? Let's see! Do you really believe in the dignity of the human being? In the dignity of a man in Africa, for example? Or a woman in the hidden reaches cf the Yangtze?

Do you fully realize the rights and capabilities of folks not of your race and nationality? Do you acquaint yourself with what other religions teach and respect the rights of others to follow their own belief as you expect them to respect yours? If you can answer yes to all these questions, then you are a true believer in United Nations and its ideals." ) • 4. • (

Anniversary of Labor Leader The actual one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Samuel Gompers will not occur until January 27, but the centennial celebration already is well under way. This interests organized workers especially, yet it by no means is limited to them. The great American Federation of Labor 'president was a national figure in the full sense of the phrase and even now, though he has been dead more than a quarter century, his influence still is felt throughout the Nation.

Samuel Gompers himself appreciated his place in the history of his times.

The little Dutch Jewish immigrant boy of 1863 grew to maturity in a world rapidly developing new issues, new con-

Throughout his career, he kept his mind and his heart open to what was going on about him. He was exceptionally sensitive to economic, social, and political developments, but he likewise was receptive to happenings in such distant fields as music and literature, drama and painting. The major enthusiasm of his life, however, was the cause of solidarity among working people. A cobbler and then a cigar maker, he realized that the individual laborer or craftsman was handicapped by his individuality. In order to bargain sucessfully at all it was necessary to bargain collectively. So Gompers applied himself to the task of discovering competent union leadership wherever it could be found, and he set a personal example for the young lieutenants he discovered. Thus the American Federation of Labor became a reflection of his conceptions, his methods, his objectives.

Perhaps the most important test of his whole life was that which emerged with America's participation in the First World War. Thousands of American working men and working women hated the Kaiser but were opposed to the United States being involved in the struggle to defeat him. Samuel Gompers at a tensely psychological moment chose the patriotic course With all the ardor of his soul he threw himself into a campaign for national unity in the face of popular pacifism. He -toured the country speaking at meetings, talking privately with local officers, arguing with stubborn critics. The effort was strenuous, but it was continued as long as there was need for it. His part in achieving victory in 1918 is one reason why the Government is bringing out a commemorative postage stamp for Gompers on his hundredth birthday anniversay, January 27, )
