Po Avodu bratra pied-

Tak ktidou napsane dislice dokazovaly, k v roku 1897 men' jsme 862 elenti, zadatkem roku 1950 jich podet vykazuje 23,658 dospelYch a ditek. Z poeatku Jednota vydavala jeden certifikat, postupem doby ptizpilsobovala se zinenenYm pomerfim i pottebarn lidu a podala vydavati dalgi Z I M A.

Musime nagim hlavnim iitedniktim vysloviti uznani i pochvalu, Ze se do systemu pojigteni na Zivot tak zapracovali, con dosvedeovaly jimi podane piiklady. derna tabule skuteene velmi poslouZila, protok kaZdY z ifeastnikA spoleene schtize mohl lehce sledovati vYklad o to di one pojistce, to one vyhode jednotlivYch certifikati.

Ptesne ye tit hodiny do glo k pietnimu projevu: bratr piedseda sdeluje, ze v to chvili konaji se sinutedni bohosluZby v mistnim kat. kostele za pa,dleho obranbe vla,sti sertanta Jarosl. Ka.rlika, ze v prve

"Vgem temto nav2dy ode glYm chceme projeviti tictu a lasku" — pravi br. piedseda — "zadam vas proto, byste povstali a v minute poklonili se v duchu jejich pamatce." Stalo se.

Bratr Chupick vysvetluje pojistku Double Indemnity (dvojnasobna, pro ptipad smrti v neg testi), pak Premium Waiver (spro g teni poplatkti v padu zneschopneni Mena), dale Payor Insurance (platici v padu zneschopneni ptestava platit poplatky).

Dale byly zazvorove kvetiny, lilie a orchidie. 0pravdu to bylo nee° nadherneho. A statle jsme se obdivoVali trpelivosti a namahy tech urnelcii, kteti to vSe zdObili. Pak vyhral cenu "Showboat".

Byly obledeny v krasnYch kostYmech s kratielymi sukynkaina, nektere s kalhotkama. Videli jsme jak nektere byly od zimy modre, ale piece se usmivaly, jen aby kaZda, provedla dobte svrij ukol. Opravdu si zaslouZily diky za jejich vytrvalost. Jedna sleOna asi jiZ nekolikrat vystupovala, tak si vzala pod dlouhe Saty teple vnene pradlo.

Jedna sleena delala kotrmelce a ta byla od vetru eervend a modra. Dale pak byly divky malieke, kaZda jako diva panenka, jedna hezei neZli druha.

Nekdy takovy Vestnik nedodany adresatovi ma zaplacend po gtovne, dva centy, nekdy jest na nem cedulka orankve barvy na ktere jest velikYmi pismeny vytisknuto "POSTAGE DUE — 2 CENTS." Jak jsem drive tekl, ze zaeatku jsem si toho nevgimal, ale kdy dochazel jeden Vestnik za druhYm, s jmeny jinYch — a z toho sameho mesta., pomyslel jsem si, ze mne nekdo, — a myslim ze to osoba jest mile velice dobre znama, chce touto cestou neptimo upozorniti na neco.

Jest to asi to same co jsme meli na Rrogramu jako stapost mnoha Glen{ jiz ye sjezdu v Ennis v 1932, — tota nedodane Vestniky, za ktere ale Jednota must zaplatit. KcI3t. vaak Vestniky dochazely dale, napsal jsem dopis na bratra predsedu Hlavni irtadoyny, aby se postaral o zastaveni tech Vestniktit, a ten posledni jsem k dopisu prhlozil. Ale, po dokoneeni dopisu jsem si vzpomenul, ze jsme to v minulem sjezdu "spravili" tak, ze Hlavni Ufadovna jest v to \reel bezmocna, tak jsem ten dopis na bratra predsedu, zazlajich na-

pravu, vsunu do schranky opistl korespondence s Hlavni tidadovnou, a tam ocIpoeival od due kdy jsem jej psal, 11. dubna 1949, — az dodnes, kdy jsem jej vytahnul si preeist co jsem psal a podivat se, komu ten Vestnik mel -byti dodan. Kdyz jsem ten dopis na bratra predsedu Hl. ur. toho 11, dubna ukladal, pomyslel jsem ze nao techto nedodanYch Vestnikach dopis do Vestniku, — ale pak jsem si vzpomenul, ze mame zde v Dallas jednoho elena Tiskoveho vyboru, etyriadvacateho dubna budou hrat v Sokolovne divadlo "Obecni Nana" a tarn e se jiste s tim Menem. Tiskoveho vyboru setkam a na tuto vec upozornim a budu 2adati, aby tento vYbor se postaral, aby Vestniky nedodane adresovanemu byly vraceny zpet na Hlavni traclovnu a tato aby bez tahu zasilani Vestniku takovernu elenu zastavila, — coz jsem take uainil hned po divadle. Mel jsem nekolik dobrYch argumentii pro toto zastaveni, nejlep gi z inch tyto dva: yestnik stoji Jednotu dva a pill (ei $2.75) rodne, elen jej dostava zdarma a nevi treba platiti zbyteene za takove Vestniky. KZ se stane naprava, kterou s ureitosti po schuzi Tiskoveho vyboru oeekavarn, Hlavni Uradovna asi bude hodne pfekvapena poetem nedodanYch yestnikil, — a obnosem ugettenYm Druha prieina jest, ze kdyz e'en zmeni obydli a nema." tolik uznani sam pro sebe, aby se postaral o zmenu adresy, — tedy ten e'en o ten Vestnik nedba a zasilati mu jej jest vyhazovani penez. Jisto jest, ze kady dbalY elen, ktery si na geho spolkoveho organu vali a tento rad ete, se postara, aby mu nechybelo ani jedno dislo, kdy'Z se ptestehuje a tedy zmenu adresy hned do H. A. oznami. — Myslim, i vydavatele si nepteji, aby jejich dilo bylo gmejkano neetene ledabylYm pohozenim. Pri tomto si vzpominam na ty sta'nosti o nedodanych eislech na geho organu, ktere bylo smutne sly get od mnohYch kdy se o tomto bolalcu jednagich elentit, kdyz nalo v Ennis v r. 1932. Jak to yypacla, jsme na torn dues zase tak, jen tenkrat to bylo OSMDESAT CENTU roene, a dnes jest to vic jak ttikrat tolik.

0 mesic neb trochu dela pozdeji mne ten v Dallas bydlici Men Tiskoveho yYboru sclelil, k milj navrh druhYm dvema elentan tohoto vyboru pisennie dodala, — ale k nedogel schvaleni, — a Jednota plati za nedodand Vestniky dale.

Proto timto apeluji na eleny Tiskoveho VYboru, kteri budou miti schtitzi v Dallas dne 4. imora, aby na.fidili, by na titulni strance Vestniku bylo vyti gteno v takovein miste, aby to mohl kaaly pogtovni zrizenec snadno i pri sloknem Vestniku videti: If not delivered, return to Supreme Lodge, S.P.J.S.T., Fayetteville, Texas.

Mdme RIce pod anglickYrn ohlayenim Vestniku vytigteno jiz po nekolik mesictt: "Postmaster: Send form 3579 with undeliverable copies to Vestnik Publishing Co., West, Tex." Nu ale, da se snadno ocekavat, ten pogtmistr, ktery by tohle hledal na to devatenacte strance Vestniku, jest jako bila vrana yzacnY. Ta forma 3579 jest upozorneni o zmenu adresy, -- ale kdo ji zmeni kdy se ten 'Men Vestnikem Jednoton obdarovany sant o to nepostara. snad jsou vydavatele v geveclouci a vi kam se odstehoval? Promyslete si to. 0 zmeny adres se ma starat iteetni Hlavni Uradovny, — a kdy mu ji takovy Clan, ktery se odstehoval neb hued ze za,edtku udal nespravnou adresu, tuto neopra,vi, kdo to udela? V techto adrestich je mnoho kit!

Ted' neco o tech Vestnikach pro vdovyeleny. Na to k v minulosti, to jest pied 1949, byl Vestnik vdove co Vestnik odbirajiclinu elenu,-mankli po jeho smrti zastaven, se nerousi nikdo gkaredit.

A i ted', kdy'2" mu2, ktery Vestnik dostava, zemie, ma mu Vestnik byti zastaven. Jestli jeho vdova jest Menem Jednoty, talc nema nic jirieho na praci aby Vestnik dostala, jen poladati tajemnika sveho radii, aby jeji jmeno jako odberatele — (pardon, kdy?': Vestnik je zadarmo, to asi neni odberatel) zaslal do Hlavni Utadovny, neb si tam dopsala sama, neb poiadala nekoho aby ji tarn dopsal, a Vestnik dostane ZDARMA. To je co jsem "nepochvalil". Take raw/1m s clitrazem rici, ze kdy g se o tom jednalo ye schtizi VYboru na opravu stanov, byl navrh, aby Vestnik dostavali v gichni eleni thdy A zdarma, zadr`Zen.

Barbusstiv roman "Oheri" je hluboce pravdivY dokument z prvni svetove valky.

"Denik bojoveho dru2stva" nazval jej autor v podtitulu a podal v nern sve vlastni za2itky na severo-francouzske fronte. Vytvotil v nem nejmohutriej gi a nejsilnejSi dila ye svetove literature z obdobi teto valky.

Paradis se sklonil nad jakousi hmotou nata2enou vedle.

"Spig?"

"Ne, ale nehYbam se," zabreptal hned ptiduSeny a vylekany hlas, jen 2 vychazel z one hmoty, pokryte hustou houni z bahna, tak hrbolatou, 2e to yypa,dalo, jako by ji nekdo zdupal. "Nee° ti teknu: myslim, 'ze main prora2enY bticho. Ale nevim to jiste, a ani nemain kura2 to veclet."

"Podivame se . . . " "Ne, jests ne," pravil mu. "Rad bych jests chvili zustal tak."

Ostatni se polcoukli o pohyb; S'ploucajice, vlekli se po loktech a shazovali pekelnou testovitou pokryvku, ktera je tahla k zemi. Tento hrozen zmueenYch lidi se pomalu zbavoval ztrnulosti z chladu, tteba2e jas phestal se u2 shit po to velke, nepravidelne lou2i, do nit se plan sva2ovala. Beziltanost pokraeovala, denni jas nikoli.

Jeden z nas, ktery hovoril smutne jako untiradek, tekl: "Nadarrno bude S vypravovat, nebudou ti vent. Ne proto, 2e by byli zli nebo Si chteli z tebe delat blazny, ale proste proto, 2e ti nebudou moci uvetit. Kdy2 jednou tekneS', ovSem, budeS-li jests 2iv, abys mohl vypravovat: "Delali jsme noeni prace, sttileli do nas a pak jen tak tak, jsme se neutopili v blate," odpovedi `Ach'! snad taky teknou: "Jiste varn phi torn nebylo do smichu." A to bude vSechno. Nikdo to nebude vetet, jen ty sam."

"Ne, ani my ne, ani my ne!" zvolal nekdo.

"To kikam jd taky: my zaporneneme.

Dokonce uZ ted' zapominame brachu!"

"Videli jsmc toho philii moc!"

"A ka2cla vec, kterou jsme videli, byla by sama o sobs ptilfa hrozna. Nejsme tak udelani, abychom to v sobs udr2eli.

Tteti dodal: "Ano,, kdyby si to pamatovali, valka by nebyla tak neu2iteena, jak je."

Tu se nahle jeden z tech le2icich lidi, kteti ztistali na 2ivu, zdvihl na kolena, zattasi syyma zablacenyma rukama, a2 z nich padala blato, a Cerny jako velikY netopYr, chycenY na lep, temne vzktikl: "Po tehle ua nesmi bYt 2atina, jinn valka!" ) • Jo • (I

C si Vrabci Povidali A obrativ se Sel od Vojty, jemu2 bylo, jako by ho polil horkou vodou. Stydel se hrozne a nebYti koni, snad by byl v to chvili opratemi hodil a Sel, kam oei by ho nesly. Mrzute vylezal na vtiz, opominuv si koupit doutnik, jak 'einival, kdyZ z mesta jel dome. Dnes na pana hrati se mu nechtelo. Bylo mu hospodafe upilimne lito. Hneval se na sebe, na panimarnu, na celY svet a v duchu se zakikal, ze nebude y e statku ani do rana.

Ale uZ, v polou cesty zlost ho opouStela, veseleji poeal rozhiaeti se kolem sebe uvaZovati, Ze by bylo blahove, aby pro slova sedlakOva tak tuze se trapil.

Mluvila z neho beztoho zlost, ‘Zre se libil panimame lepe ne2 on, a bezpochyby take litoval, ze odchazel z dothova. Vratit se nechtel, aby lide se mu nevysmadi, a proto chtel jeho, Vojtu vystrnadit. Ale to, holenku, se mu nepovedlo. Proe by odchazel? Ma se snad Spatne? Vyhani ho panimama? At' posledni eas tfeba nejak se mraeila, nevadi. Mela asi starost, jak to dopadne s muZem. A ted' i ona si oddechne. Ve statku bude jako v raji. UP nebude delat ordee, ale pana, a vesele easy neminouho.

Ne2 prijel ke vsi uz si pohvizdoval, kone pohanel„ a stale si pral uZ zvi.:clet, co bude doma. Jak spattil Usrne y selein, vSecka starost spadla s neho.

"Tak jsme bez pantaty," povidal a zasmal se. "DokaZeme-li pak to vSechno taky bez neho? Myslim, Ze z jara polovieka poll zustane ithorem."

"BudeS-li lenoch, snad," smala se selka, ale piece ji zamrzelo, 4 mluvi o muZi tak pohrdave. "Ted' pojd' obedvat, beztoho ma:4 hlad."

"Ba, mam, "Ani jsem si v meste nekoupil housku. Pantata mi tam vyeinil, rime zaSla chut'.

"Co ti povidal?" dychtive optala se selka.

"I same takove rozumy," uSkliboval Sc usedaje za still s jakousi volnosti a dilstojnosti, jako by byl sam hospodai-em.

A hrube poeal opakovati slova sedlakova, prieinuje k nim sve neomalcne poznarnky.

"Neck uz toho," pftruSila ho selka. "A mezi lidmi nepovidej nic takaveho. At' se stab u rids cokoliv, oba bychom lhali, kdybychom i ekii, e panata byl 1patnY elovek. Ani nine, ani tobe neubnil, a Pe odeSel, neni tak zle, jako kdyby vyhanel tebe nebo nine. A to ti povidam,

Pustila tedy Vojtu, ale nemohla opominat, aby ho nenapomenula, aby byl opatrnY a nemluvii marne.

Vojta ye vysokjrch vylegtenYch botach, vas dlouhou, svateeni dYmkou v Zne sedlak sel k hospode. Tu a tam yyhledli za nim z barakii. Rozuniel tern zvedavYm pohledum, nedbal jich. Jen jegte vS7ge zvedl hlavu, jako by, chtel ukazat. '2e nedba nikoho.

Veged do hospody, za,stihl tu jen Koleavu pii jeho obvyklem etvrt'alu. Daumenieti tuze nedrzeli na pivo.

Rortopein byl nejdraZ gi a Vojta si myslil celou cestu, '71,e si da rortopein. Nazvedl klobouk, dal pozdraveni a uZ se kiatil k prosttednimu stolu, kde sedali sedlaci. Podruzi a eeledinove sedavali u stolu u zdi stale politeho, mouchami kryteho, kolem nehoZ dernala se a smrdela kalUZ slin, hmichana se zemi, s popelern a s blatem vnesenjrm na nohou.

Koleava udivene podival se na Vojtu.

Pozdravil ho take, vahave ptijal podavanou jeho ruku a rozpaeite se usmal.

Potom jako v nesnazich podival se po genkf •i, pitim kotalky v tvati zarudlern, s opuchlrm oblieejem a rosolovitYma °aria, jako by u toho bledal rady a pomoci.

"Tak etvrt'ak rortopeinu, sousede," poroueel si Vojta po domacku a usedal ke stolu, natahuje nohy a furiantsky vztyeuje c1S7mku.

Kotalku gla nalit genkYtka, gpinave obleeena, s ocima jako uplakarWma, se ' gpieatYrn nosem, a UzkYrni rty. Dtevene pantofle na zan-lazanYch jejich nohou klapaly o hlinitou podlahu a tinily civilzi jeji jeSte zdlouhavejSi a linejSi. Po chvili plinesla etvrt'ak, nedbajic, Se kotalka tete pies okraje na zahnedle, oprYskane ruce, umazane od brambor, jeS pied tim Sktabala.

Tak odfivodnila proslula eeska spisovatelka Karolina Svetla, vlastnim jmenem Johanna Rottova, proe latku k svemu literarnimu dilu eerpa z prosteho eeskeho lido. Nebot' v jeji dobe krome hrstky vlastencil 2ila eeska tee a eeske narodni uvedomeni jen v lidovYch vrstvach.

StudovaOech se mush k svemu, east() ji2 ztracenernu narodnimu uvedomeni, znovu 'Cade probojovavat a easto i riskovat ztratu existence, chtel-li svou narodnost vyznavat vetejne.

13y1 to pierod, kterY na sobe zakusila i Johanka. Narodila se roku 1830 v rodine praMkeho kupec Rotta, kterY sve dcerce vAtipil lasku k rodnemu mestu. Provadel ji jeho starobylymi kouty a plastickym vypravenim podnecoval a zesiloval vrozenou obrazotvornost a ptemYSlivost nadaneho ditete do basnickeho rozpeti ducha.

Megt'anska, spoleenost pralska„ aZ na nepatrne vyjimky, nemeici nebo nemecka., povaAovala umeleckou a literarni tvorbu, zylaS"te Ceskou, za neco vysttedniho, co se zpasobne vychovanernu eloveu nesluSi a krome chytractvi, vedouciho k penezfim a dobremu bidlu, cenila pinou penMenkou nad vkchny dary ducha. A zvla gte neptiznive by se postavila proti spisujici 2 : ene, ktera podle jejich ptedstay mela jen vychovavat deti, obstardvat domacnost a nemichat se do zalelitosti mute.

Johanein otec, kupec Rott, byl eeskYm vlastencern probuzenskeho typu. Nedoufal vsak, Z'e by se Cesky narod nekdy pozdvihl k bYvale jazykove a kulturni svebytnosti a hledel na narodni snahy skupiny buditelt jako na marnou praci, ktera neptinese ' a.douciho vYsledku. Podle zvyka meSt'anskYch rodin praskych dal dcerku vychovat v nemecko-francouzskem pensionate. Podle tehdej§ich nazorfi se to povaIovalo "za neco nobl", a tak Johanka Rottova ye syYch 'Aestnacti letech se neumela vyjadtit v jedne souvisle vete Ceske. Ale na dne Johaneina srdce odpoeivalo vedomi eeskeho pftvodu •rodiny. Mela pevne v pameti vzpominky a koreny rodu, udr'Zovane yypravenim rodiefi a ptibuznYch o osudech jeho nesoucich v sobe podivuhodnou smes odkazu aeskSich bratti s husitskou tradici, prostoupenou ptimoearou uminenosti.

se pokusila svou francouzsicou novelu napsat Cesky. Chtel, aby vedle Boteny NettlCove v almanachu byla zastoupena jeAte jedna spisovatelka.

Halek shledal praci zdatilou. Dal ji nazev Dvoji probuzeni a otiskl.

Z Johanky Rottove-Mutakove se stala eeska spisovatelka Karolina Svetla.

Price Karoliny Svetle jsou provanuty hlubokym citem a mravnim ptikazem. lovek musi it po druhe, tena se ma obetovat pro mute, devee pro milence, nebot' je silnejti net. on. Myglenka, jet vykrystalisovala zvlagte v jeji zname povidce Kriz u potoka.

Proti tomuto sobectvi mnohotvarnemu zlu stavi mohutnou mravni silu, ktera nakonec vynese zmitanou dugi na vYginu lidstvi, zbaveneho kalu a nanosu tivoeignosti.

Urni tive a poutave vypravet, ale nektere jeji price prostupuje tak silna, at zbytnela narodni tendence, pina pathosu, te dusi urneleckou formou.

Karolina Svetla se vzdy snazila miuvit fedi prosteho Cloveka a vykreslit jeho tivot do nejmen gich podrobnosti. Jednou o tom spolupracovnikovi Svetozora tekla:.

"Poeinam si jako botanik, pro nehot je katda tyeinka, katdy pra gek pelu vYznamny, pozoruji a sbiram vgechno: Snatila jsem se skuteenost psychologicky odtvodnit, proe se to a jive tak a nejinak stati musilo.

Rodinne pornery, nazory a nahledy jsou ye vesnickYch myth povidkach poctive z lidu vateny; a vypravovani a lieeni lidu nahradila jsem vlastnimi slovy a obraty jen tehdy, kdyt jsem jinak ueiniti nenaohla. Zdat by nebylo smegno, kdybych chtela opravovati tak velkeho basnika jako je na g narod, kterY ostane povtdy nejvznegenejtim ueitelem." ) • 4 • Potkali se dva literati.

Jak se mat? Co pie noveho?

— Nic. Mne se, eloveee, jakmile zaenu psat, toei hrozne hlava. Asi trpim zavrati. Nu, nic se nediv, karnarade. Ja pigu hodne s kopce!

POSTMASTER: Send form 3579 with undeliverable copies to Vestnik Pub. Co. West, Texas.

Your Reports Are Needed This Saturday, February 4, the Publication Committee will hold its regular annual meeting in Dallas. It will be approximately the same time that you get through with reading this issue of the Vestnik with a remark of disappointment that you did not find anything there which would interest you.

The meeting is prescribed by the Bylaws of the Order. At the meeting the members of the committee, together with the publisher, the editor, and the assistant editor, discuss the requirements and needs of the official paper and make decisions or recommendations as to what would be best for improvements of the Vestnik.

I can almost hear -some of you rem a r k i n g with disapprobation, "So what?"

It is the "so-what" attitude which can kill anything, big or little, as dead as dodo. It is the "so-what" indifference in general which makes you feel dissatisfied with the content of the Vestnik, with the work of your local lodge, with its meetings, poor attendance, and causing you change your meetings from monthly to once every three months.

So what?

A noted writer saw a very fine achievement of a friend, and planned to write him a note cf congratulation. After a day or two he said to himself, "Oh, what's the difference, he/will get hundreds of notes about it. So I shall not bother to send him mine." Later he met the friend and told him why he failed to send his letter cf compliments.

"How many would you guess I received?" asked the friend. The writer guessed any scores. The , friend answered, "Not one!"

Maybe, you have laid aside your. copy of the Vestnik with disapproval. Others did likewise. "It isn't what it should be," you and they say.

On the other hand, there is a group of people meeting this Saturday to improve the paper which you get every week. Will that bring results?

It will absolutely be worthless, the

time, energy and money spent, if the "so-what" attitude remains among the members throughout the organization.

The best laid-out plan will have no effect if the members remain indifferent and passive.

Let us take the current issue, or rather only a part of it, the English Section. There is not a single line of news from 150-odd lodges. There is no new thought from anywhere. Consequently, the editor puts in his own study pertaining to the farmers fraternity, the Grangers. Or he writes about what America did in the last 100 years, and what it can do in the next ten years.

It fills up the space. It would be accepted by any magazine, and well paid.

But does it help the SPJST to get new members? Does it increase your home lodge interest? Dces it bring more members to your meetings?

Absolutely not. Those articles which you find in this or any other issue of the Vestnik may prove that the editor can handle a variety of subjects, that he can write about this or that, but it does not help your lodges in your local activities. Irrespective of the high quality of the material, the world at large still does not know what your lodge does, if it does anything at all.

When the publication committee hired me for this job of conducting the English Section, the committee laid out specific requirements. One of them was to stimulate more interest among the members for greater activity in home lodges. The other requirements have been met. In this one, in particular, I have failed miserably.

Here is what I've tried. I contacted two dozen well-thought-of and more active lodges to appoint a reporter who would periodically and systematically write to the Vestnik. Out of 24, only three are co-operating.

Do you think that your lodge will grow without effort, without planning? It may, but so will the weeds in your garden. If you wish to be successful, you must have a definite plan how to organize a picnic, how to get new members, how to improve your meetings and their attendance, how to grow in breadth, width, and depth. You have to have someone who would get up in the

morning with a definite plan what to do that day or that week.

We have a wonderful organization.

We have a wonderful group of people centered around every lodge. But your lodge needs little publicity, little selfpride, if you wish to call it by that name. You need an advertising man or woman to talk for you. Your editor would like to do it, but that is phyiscally impossible. He cannot know what goes ht your meetings, what you are planning for next week, next meeting, or next season, if no one tells him.

Now, some of you may say that all this would make the work of the editor a play, if the paper would be filled with contributions from local .lodges. It is a play even now. It must be a play, otherwise it wound be a burden. And to remove you') suspicion that the editor needs more material to be put in the paper, let me tell you a secret: On Octtober 2, four months ago, I mailed an article to be placed in the Vestnik whenever there should be a need for it.

It wasn't needed. This week, the LIFE magazine has a similar article. There is enough material on hand to fill three issues of Vestnik. But the point is not how much, but what kind.

A while back, I asked the local secretaries or the local reporters to write a report stating the value , of the property belonging to local lodges. It should be done to know our collective value.

So far only two lodges made the report.

Lodge Jaromir No. 54 has total assets about $37,000.00, and Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 values its assets, including $26,000.00 in bonds, $12,000.00 cemetery, and the building in its original cost price, in the total value of $85,000.00.

You still don't believe this paper is yours, no more that you believe that your lodge is yours. You can make it grow by your effort and attention, or you can kill it by your indifference, by doing only what you have to do, and no more.

Let us make the Vestnik to be really and truly the official paper of all the SPJST lodges. Let us have reports from twenty-five, fifty, one hundred, or even one hundred fifty local lodges. Let us wake up to the fact that we have to

Strana 20 plan, plant, cultivate, and look after everything which we wish to see growing.

Let us have your reports even if it takes to wake up some of those who enjoy rest and sleep.

The next issue of the Vestnik will bring the report from the Supreme Lodge. Following it, there will be the report from the meeting of the Publication Committee. Get your local reports ready. And for heavens' sake, don't report that you've voted to have your meeting only once every three months. Don't fall into a rut. There is only one difference between a rut and a grave—the one is slightly deeper than the other. ( 4,

The Gra ger oeetama (Part One) (Editor's Note:—Time and again it has been asserted that the SPJST is composed mostly of farmers. It will, I am sure, to be profitable for our SPJST members to learn something about a fraternity of farmers that hs been in existence for over eighty years. Many things which the fraternity of farmers advocated years and years back are pretty much taken for granted today, such as rural free delivery, parcel post, Montgomery Ward, farmers co-operatives. Read the following report which has been delivered by A. E. at the University of Houston to a class studying economic trends in the United States, on Wednesday Met, January 4, 1950.)

PREFACE The truth is not always apparent.

When I first passed through the city of LaGrange, Texas, to my destination, Granger, Texas, .I inquired about the origin or the meaning of those two similar names. "La Grange," I was told, was a French name for a barn; and "granger" was just another name for a farmer. Later, I was told that the Grangers were members of a secret organization of farmers, a brotherhood serving class interest, an anomaly. The following material has been collected as result of my reading pertaining to that secret association of farmers.

AGRARIAN DISCONTENT AFTER THE CIVIL WAR Up to the Civil War, agriculture was the predominant industry of the Nation.

After the Civil War, agriculture was on the defensive and business enterprise in the ascendancy. The change, with its revolutionary implications for future

VESTNi.K--WEST,11EXAS development, brought a dynamic, collectivist, urban society, in place of a static, individualist, rural pattern; in that sense, the Civil War was as much a defeat for the New England farmer as for the southern planter.

American history in the period following the Civil War can be understood only in terms of a developing industrial capitalism, the subordination of agriculture, and the revolt of the agrarian interests against the new conditions.

Briefly, the agrarian distress was caused by a vicious circle of economic circumstances. During the flush period of the war when prices soared, owing to greater demand for foodstuffs and an inflated currency, many farmers extended their operations by increasing their holdings and equipment. Ex-soldiers, tradesmen, and mechanics, encouraged by the Homestead Act, hastened to take up land; but in all of these cases capital was usually lacking and the land was mortgaged to provide the necessary equipment. Although the profits of agriculture were small, the rising value of lands, combined with the necessity to purchase new machinery, encouraged the farmers to borrow heavily. The interest on the mortgages averaged from 7 to 10 per cent, with various service charges added to it. By 1880, about 28 per cent of all American farms were under mortgages.

All went well until the inflated war prices collapsed. A mortgage contracted when wheat was a dollar, corn fifty cents, or cotton twelve cents might not be ruinous, but it was unbearable when wheat dropped to fifty cents, corn to twenty-five cents, and cotton to six cents. It was impossible for the farmer to double his labor or to increase his land under cultivation.

A succession of crop failures meant foreclosure, wiping out the results of years of farmer's labor, and forcing him to enter the ranks of the tenant farmer or agricultural laborer. The census of 1880—the first to deal with the forms of land ownership—revealed that 25.6 per cent of the farmers were tenants.

In addition, the farmer suffered from other economic handicaps. Captains of industry, railroad magnates, and banking overlords heavily abused the farmer who had no recourse. As the Farmers' Alliance (August 23, 1890) pointed out: There are three great crops raised in Nebraska. One is a crop of corn, one is a crop of freight rates, and one a crop of interest. One is produced by farmers who by sweat and toil farm the land. The other two are produced by men who sit in their offices and be-

Life of the Middle Western farmer was harsh indeed. Homesteaders lived for years in dugouts, an excavation perhaps a dozen feet wide in the side of a hill, roofed with lumber and sod, and walled with sod, logs or stone.

There were few tools, little household furniture and no conveniences. Those used to neighbors found the life intolerably cheerless; and in winter, each family was pent within its dugout as in a prison. In contrast with his own lot, living from half-year to half-year in fear that he could not meet the payments on his mortgage and that foreclosure would ruin him, the farmer pictured the enviable position of his creditors with their carriages and comfortable homes. There has never been a pioneer which would endure such conditions without expressing his discontent.

As the farmer thus suffered, there occurred the sudden rise of a rural organization—the Grange.

ORIGIN OF IRE GRANGE Oliver Hudson Kelley, who was born in Boston in 1826, and who in early life took up a homestead in Minnesota, is commonly regarded as the father of the Grange movement.

In 1866, Kelley was authorized by Isaac Newton, first Commissioner of the newly-created Bureau of Agriculture, to make a survey of farm conditions in the South and to recommend steps by which that prostrate area could be put on its feet agriculturally. Kelly returned from his tour with not entirely a new idea that what this country needed was another secret order composed of farmers from all sections of the land.

Under the plan worked cut by Kelley and six like-minded friends in the government service, a national secret order of farmers, resembling the Masonic order, was to be strictly for those who tilled the soil. In December, 1867, having framed a constitution and adopted the motto ESTO PERPETUA, (May it endure forever; now also motto of Idaho,) they met and constituted themselves the National Grange Order of the Partons of Husbandry.

It is interesting to note, in view of the subsequent political activity, that the founders of the Grange looked for advantages to come to the farmer through intellectual and social connections, and not through political action.

The new order would plan for social and intellectual advancement, would seek tq eliminate the middleman, favor

If all this deserves favorable comment today, the uplifting influence of the Grange some fifty, sixty, or seventy years ago must have been far more powerful The meetings of the local Granges were forums leading to the discussion of a wide variety of topics, mostly economic and with the interest of the farmer. The Grange was responsible, too, for a great increase in the number and circulation of agricultural journals. Many of these papers were recognized as official organs of the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry and, by publishing news of the Granges and discussing the economic phases of the farmers' movement, they built up an extensive circulation. Rural postmasters everywhere reported a great increase in their mails after the establishment of a Grange in the vicinity.

One postmaster stated that after the lo cal Grange was organized there were thirty newspapers taken in his office where previously there had been but one. Papers for which members or local Granges subscribed were read, passed from hand to hand, and farmers were forming the habit of reading. All the Granger laws might have been repealed; all the plans for co-operation might have come to naught; all the moral and religious teaching cf the Grange might have been left to the church; but if the Granger movement had created nothing else than the desire to read, it would have been worth while. For after the farmer began to read, he was no longer like deadwood floating in the backwaters of the current; he became more like a propelled vessel in midstream—sometimes, to be ire, driven into turbulent Waters, sometimes tossed about by conflicting currents, but at least making progress.

A RATHER BIG DIME The elder Oliver Wendell Holmes was small in stature. One day he was present at a meeting which happened to be attended by a number of rather tall men, thus making his diminutive size conspicuous by contrast. An acquaintance jestingly remarked: "Well, Dr. Holmes, I should think you would feel rather small among these big fellows."

"I do," replied the genial Dr. Holmes.

"I feel like a dime among a lot of pennies."

Who Pays The Taxes?

Ve stiedu,-tine 1. nnora 130.

Who are the folks who must pay this bill? Well, that is an easy one to answer when we - get right down to brass tacks. It is the consather who pays the fiddler, being the laboring f3eople of America, both blue-denim and whitecallar workers, plus the retired elderly people, who altogether constitute about 60 percent of the consumers dollarWise; and our farmers who now number about 20 percent of our total population, but who buy and consume one and one-half times more per capita than do the overage .of the rest of us, making 30 percent total consumption by our farmers dollarwise. Therefore, that leaves only 10 percent for the owners of business and industry of every kind to pay. But they will pass it on to the rest of us.

An editorial in a recent issue of one of our leading farm magazines, stated: A rising complaint about taxes is evident over the country. People are beginning to realize that the direct taxes, such as property, income, and school levies, are by no means all they are paying. Back of these is a jungle of hidden taxes. They are a part of the cost of every business and are passed along in the price of everything a person buys. An ordinary good suit of clothes is calculated to carry more than 100 different taxes, an automobile more than 200.

Because the tax collectors' fingers reach into one's pockets at almost every turn, they now take a large part of all income. The Northeast Farm Foundation estimates that they absorb, in visible or invisible ways, over 30 cents of every dollar the farmer earns.

The rate at which the tax bill is groWing raises a question of critical importance to everybody. It is simply: HoW much of the national income can be taken by taxes without leaving too little for the Nation's economy to operate • at full capacity?

What should be done is plain. It is to call a halt to unproductive tax spending and to examine every new proposal along that line solely from the standpoint of whether It adds to or takes away from the funds in the common purse. Upon their conservation depends the ability of industry to make and sell goods, of labor to have steady employment, and of agriculture to enjoy a stable market.

The tax question is now a Matter of saving a good standard of living in America.

Dear Readers of the Vestnik: Much interest is being directed toward the coining performances of the BARTERED BRIDE at the Recreation Playhouse on Buffalo Drive, Houston, on the evenings of February 15th, 16th and 17th, to I want to give you as much information as possible if you are counting on attending.

Mrs. Woods, the director, is making every effort to give her presentation everything that goes with it so that it will give you the impression of a real Czeska, pout' or festival, even to the point of the Most minute detail. For instance, she has gone so far as to ask me to look into such matters as the real ginger cookie or the "pernik" which usually has its place at the fair.

For this detail I contacted Mrs. Kraft and Mrs. Valcik of Dallas, Texas, and with Mrs. Kraft's permission, we are using her recipe.

We are still looking for beer steins,

Strana 23 however, we have the cooperation of Mrs. Studnicny and Mrs. Earl.

So that you do not get the mistaken idea that the cast is entirely out of the hands of experienced Cesky actors, just want to say, that in spite of the busy season for our Hlahol Dramatic Club, some of its menthers are lending their support and time. The members from this club include, Harriette Earl, Birdie Hilshir, Wilhelmina Simecek, Estelle Kelly, Tim Kostom and Naomi Kostom.

Believe I have made it clear that only a limited amount of tickets are available for each night. I would be glad to retain tickets for you on request if you will call me at VAlentine 1722 or PReston 0991 (business phone).

THE BARTERED BRIDE. Jenik, son of a farmer named Tobias Micha, has been driven from home by his stepmother, Whereupon he had found employment in a village some distance away. Here he met Marenka, the girl of his heart. The course of true love, however, never runs smooth.

Kecal, a marriage agent, has found another young man for Marenka—Vasek, a younger brother of Jenik. Kecal takes Vasek together with the parents to the fair which the parish is celebrating. Marenka loves Jenik and decides to take matters in her own hands, and pretends to be another girl with whom Vasek ptesently falls in love, and makes him promise he will give up Marenka.

Kecal, in the meantime, has a plan of his own and tries to persuade Jenik in every possible way to give up Marenka.

Jenik refuses at first to listen to his persuasions but when Kecal tells him it is Vasek who will be married to Marenka, Jenik gives in and sells Marenka for 300 gold pieces but only on conditions that she should marry nobody else but Micha's son, who, of course, is he himself.

Marenka learns of the agreement and is heartbroken, and feels she has been deceived by her lover. To make matters worse, the harmless trick she played on Vasek becomes known. She gives her half-hearted consent to being married to Vasek when, at the critical moment, Jenik disclOses his identity to his parents. It also appears that the selling of his girl was in reality nothing else but a bit of a joke. The mother refuses to see the funny side of the business. It so happens then that Vasek appears in the most ridiculons disguise of a bear. He had let himself be deceived by a fair member of a troop of comedians, performing at the fair and had been dressed to act the part of a bear, running away spreading alarm

The Challenge of the Next Ten Years You have heard and have read about five-year plans, three-year plans, and two-year plans. Those reports might or might not have interested you. Here is a report which should interest you. It is a report for Americans about Americans. It is a report designed so that the average reader—such as the readers of the Vestnik—can find out, with the least possible effort, just what we Americans have produced over the past one hundred years to meet our needs for food, houses, clothing, and medical care. It is also a report what America can do in the next ten years.

Should the average reader of the Vestnik find this report too dry, with too many figures, he may have to push himself to read through in order to get as much as Possible out of this type of reading. But it tells the secret of American achievements, the strength of American growth, how we spend our dollar, how we protect our health, what we do in way of learning. And when the reading gets too heavy, I shall ask the reader to have patience with this report about American economy, for it was prepared for university students interested in the economic history of the United States.

Since I had spent many, many evenings and nights digging up the figures which show the strength of our Nation, I present it here with a feeling of apology. It should have been re-written in a lighter vein, to show why some Americans still haven't enough to eat, or to wear, or a house fit to live in, or proper schooling or medical care. But you have to read a report like this to answer if we can improve on all that we now have.

Here is a report presented to students in American Economic History, University of Houston, on January 18, 1950: PREFACE George Weller, Chicago Daily News foreign correspondent, translated an article which appeared in TEMPO, a Rome newspaper, by inclination friendly to the United States. It ran something as follows:

American economy is based on waste. 'to waste means to throw away and at the same time to consume. It is just the contrary what we Europeans are forced to do, economi2e and save. If the United States dare to economise like us in Europe, it would go up ill the air in a few months; it would get its economic system all clogged up and would suffer a stroke.

The wealth which an American family daily_ wastes via the garbage can is real ly impressive: bottles, food, paper, boxes, string and all kinds of metal. Then we also find in rubbish piles: shirts still good except for frayed collars; socks with a tiny hole; and still wearable shoes.

The autoist doesn't have to worry about a collision. If he has an accident, the car is repaired and next year is turned in for a new one Hotels supply their guests with several bars of soap which are never used: towels likewise. These are not left for later guests, but are thrown away, unused. The same applies in restaurants —untouched butter, preserves, full serving dishes find their way to the kitchen garbage can, unused.

If all the industries in the United States worked full time, the remainder of humanity could fold its arms and could live on what the U. S. wastes peacefully and easily.

An article like that is a challenge .to each one of us—challenge to our potentialities.

ESSENTIALS UNDERLYING NATIONAL PROSPERITY It was the quest for prosperity that brought the great-grandfather of Mr. Blank into the United States. He was only one of the 1,700,000 immigrants who came here in the decade when he did. There were only 23 million people living in the vast expanse of land belonging to this young nation.

When the immigrants came to the United States, as great-grandfather Blank was fond of repeating, they found a land so vast and a soil so fertile that good land was available either for taking or at nominal cost. As a result, food was so abundant as to amaze immigrants to America. For the first time in their lives, these immigrants were able to secure readily all the nourishing food that they care to consume.'

Great-grandfather Blank used to say that in his days the majority of the European people did not even live "at the subsistence level.” And he usually explained that, in years when crops were good, the majority had enough to satisfy their hunger, but that, in years

when crops were short, 'most people were hungry much of the time, and that many died from disease of malnutrition or actual starvation.

But in America, since the abundance of good land made ample food so easy to get, even ordinary farmer like greatgrandfather Blank had time to think of things other than how to keep the wolf from the door. He built for his family an attractive home fitted with comfortable furniture. More important still, he demanded that his children be given training in "the three H's," and, consequently, his son, grandfather Blank, was given fairly good education: As the children grew up, the things necessary to gratify many newly acquired tastes came to be regarded not as luxuries, but as prime necessities; in other words, they became part of the standard of living in the United States.

Grandfather Blank, in his days around 1875, used to talk about the "better scale of living." It was a phrase he frequently used when he referred to the broad aspects of his way of living, his good meals, his horses and buggy, his substantial dwelling, his Sunday suit of clothes, his way of spending his money.

When his son, the third generation of Blanks, finished college shortly before 1900, grandfather Blank made the state-. ment: "Now, instead of talking about. the scale of living, you can rightfully call it 'standard of living,' because college education is so fundamental to your concept of decent living that, before you would give it up, you were willing to sacrifice many other things.

You are reaching for and adjusting yourself to higher ideals."

Had the standard of living of the third generation of Blanks not risen, perhaps Blank IV would have worked hard, gained wealth, built a mansion, and lived on the fat of the land in his days before the depression of 1929. His "scale of living" would . probably rise considerably, but his "standard of living" might remain as low as that of his forefathers.

Today, grandson Blank, the fifth generation, is thinking of the past trends—and the future. He is thinking of his ancestors, those four preceding generations spanning a century, what they did, how they met their needs for food, shelter, clothing, health, and education. He is thinking in the terms of an over-all summary of our entire American economy of the past one hundred years. He wants to know the basis of our wealth and the prospects for our future.

The best starting paint is with greatgrandfather Blank. The record shows

Ve stfedu, dne 1. imora 1950. our national income increasing more than sixteen and a half times from 1850 to 1950. During the same century our working force increased less than six and a half times.

That means higher productivity with comparatively less workers. Did the workers put in more time per day or per week? They did not. Bureau of the Census asserts: There was ... a rapid decrease in the length of the work period. The 72-hour week, the 60-hour week, and, to some extent, the 54-hour week successively passed into history; the 12-hour day gave place to the 10-hour day, and the 10-hour day gave place to the 8-hour day.

So we are now producing more in less time. To see how we do it, let us get back to the days of great-grandfather Blank, in 1850. A century ago, most of the working power was supplied by men and horses, mules, or oxen. The use of machinery was limited. Back in 1850, machines supplied only 6% of the power used all over the Nation. Horses, oxen, and mules supplied 80%; human sweat and muscles furnished 15%. This combined effort produced 27 cents' worth of goods in one hour.

In the days of grandfather Blank, in 1875, the combined output was somew h a t different. Combined machine power, 19%; animal power, 68%; and man power, 13%, produced goods valued at 39 cents per hour.

In 1900, in the days of Blank III, the productivity improved so that machine power rose to almost 50%, animal power dropped to 40%, and human power was reduced to 10%. This combined force produced goods worth 56 cents per hour.

Compare this with the output in 1925.

Animals were furnishing only one eighth of the power, human labor dropped down to four per cent, and the machinery driven by steam, water, petroleum products, and electricity produced goods worth 82 cents per hour.

Grandson Blank knows all this, appreciates it, and speculates about the next ten years which will carry him past the midpoint of the century, closer to the year 2000 than to the year 1900.

No one can foretell the future.

Grandson Blank knows that America can run into diseasters and complications at home and abroad. But one sure guide is to take a sober measure of the Nation's own strength. It is well to know what can be accomplished if the economic machine of the United States is kept running at the high levels of which it is capable.

Grandson Blank takes a pencil and does some computing. From 1850 to

VASTNiK WEST, TEXAS

1950 the working force of America increased six and a half times, but the use of machine power increased over two hundred and fifty times. On that source of power the people of the United States can depend for their ability to keep on increasing. On that basis, it can be reasonably expected that in 1960 it would be possible to provide jobs for more than 60 million Americans, turning out $1.61 worth of goods and services in an average hour's work, thus giving the United States a total national income of nearly 200 billion dollars with an average work-week of 38 hours.

This is the broad, general picture that came out of grandsoh Blank's computation.

Let us assume that his figures are fairly approximate, and that we shall retain and continue those plans and ideas and trends already, in existence.

This gives us a reasonable chance to keep on increasing our output, to provide more goods, more services, more Leasure for the average American.

spend as much as half their income for food; the very rich spend only one or two percent. On the other hand, the per capita income of the farm population was estimated in 1948 at $905, compared with $1,572 for nonfarm people. Domestic food supplies were raised almost 30 percent since prewar years.

Americans today have a much better food supply for a healthful diet than our grandparents had.

In spite of all our improvements in food supply, refrigeration, shipping and storing fresh foods, not all Americans have been adequately fed. According to the Department of Agriculture, there are upward of ten million of children on deficient diets. It is estimated that one-seventh of American families today need improved diets. Some of our people simply haven't enough income to buy the proper kinds of food. The average consumption of milk and green vegetables among children in families, of low income is less than half of what it should be.

If every person in the country were to get an adequate diet for balanced nutrition, it would cost $38.7 billion in 1950 and nearly $41 billion in 1960. Such is the outlook in the United States of America, one of the few countries on the face of the earth where the physical supply of food is enough for every inTHE NEEDS OF THE NATION One way to visualize the needs of the habitant.
