Dnes nine kolem dvanacte volali v obchodu, abych odpovedel telefon. Tak tedy to mluvitko-sluchatko zdvihnu, — a hned od meho Steiner talking to bylo pro mne jenom "sluchatko", tota nedostal jsem se ku slovu az kdy jsem vyslechnul celou litaniji, jeji'Z vrchol byl, "ze uz nedovedu bez chyby napsat ani oznamku do Vestniku".

Ja jsem totiZ v to oznamce naai zabavy "maakarni" udelal tu chybu, ze jsem napsal, ze budeme davati etyti ceny, — a ono jich vlastne melo bYt napsano jest, protde tolik jsme jich dali. Tak na kladu -Leto chyby jsem byl upozornen na dalai moje chyby v dneani oznamce etyticateho vYroei, kde na konci jest toto; mariZelka mne to Ote: "ZA BAD POKROK DALLAS eiSLO 88 ZABAVNI VirBOR".

Tak kdy jsem to v gechno vyslechnul koneene jsem se dostal ku to easti telefonu, kterou jsem nazval "mluvitko", povidam: Asi za hodinu neb d ye budu mit okno dodelane, tak pojedu domft a brzy uvidime kdo tu chybu s tim eislem tadu udelal, ze je tam misto etyti-a-osmdesat — osm-a-osmdesat. Tak jsem hned po obleeeni posledniho ponriaka tohodle pane prohlednul, jestli jest to bezvadne, abych zase neudelal -Lady chyby, — a jechain k busu a domti. Ani jsem klobouk neodldil a vyjmu schranku opisu oznamek nakho tadu Pokrok Dallas 'Oslo osmdesk etyti, (pi gi to slovy, to se neda se-aotkoVat) a ukazuji, ze na konci to mnou psane oznamky jest osmdesat etyti (84) a tedy ze ja jsem v tomhle pteeislovani nevinen. Tak jsem se pekne dostal z to "psi boudy" yen, — ale ted' je tam zase sazee.

Dobre jitro a doufam, ze jste se pane vyspali a poeasi ze mate hezke. Nam zde hezky napraelo, ale jest teplo. Maria ze neki budete tyto tadky eisti, ze bude zase mrznout.

Tak tYden jste si pane odpoeali, tak budem dnes pokraeovati v prohlidce parku. — Vratili jsme se z King's Canyon parku zase zpet do Sequoia, podivati se na jeskyni Crystal Cave. Museli jsme jeti devet mil do sttedu druhe skaly. Jell jsme

Rtrana

staleniz a niZe, az jsme jsme museli nechat karu a jiti peaky pal mile.

Cesta byla upravena na strani skale a to jsme te2 museli jiti jeate nik. Lamalo to hlavu, jak ja se zase dostanou nahoru. neb to bylo dosti prudke. Tuto jeskyni objevili dva muzi, kteti pracuji v parku.

Jednoho due ali lovit ryby kolem Cascade Creek, kdy'2' jeden se podival nahoru a uvidel tmavY otvor. Zvedavost jim nedala pokoje a museli se jiti podivat, kam ten otvor vede. Bylo to v roce 1918, kdy tito dva mai ohlasili v parkovni ata,dovne, 2e objevili jeskyni, a otvor hued byl zabarikadovan, aby tarn Zaden nemohl. Teprve v roce 1940 byla jeskyne otevtena turistam k prohlidce. Jest otevfena jen pies leto a turisti jsou provazeni hlidaei, kteti ledacos vysvetluji a td davaji pozor, by se kahly elovek zase vratil na venek.

Pteali jsme .maly mustek a jia jsme stall pted pfirodnim otvorem ve skale. Vanul zde ledovY vitr, ale nam bylo dosti teplo.

Pied otvorem byla udelana ohromna brana ze kleza. Musela jsem se diviti pu maze, ktery si tento vzor na bra.nu sam vymyslel, pekne se hodila na toto misto a &Nada jemu jakYsi tajiipinY pocit. Brana jest jako ohromna pavueina a uprostted veliky pavouk.

Nezli nam bylo dovoleno vstoupiti do jeskyne, hlidae promluvil k lidem par slov a vysvetloval, jak se asi jeskyne utvotila.

Asi za deset minut nam bylo dovoleno vstoupiti. Zde nam zase povidal, - aby jsme si dali pozor na osvetleni, ze ten samY pan co to Mal v Carlsbad, to upra y il i zde.

Zase jsme pfeali malt' mustek, kturY vedl ptes malieky pottieek. Voda je tak gist'ounka a dole jest mramor tak krasnY v barvach pastelovYch. Zda se to nemdne, ze to pH:redo. tak pekne udelala, neb jest mramor tak pekne vyroubkovan.Y. Byli jsme v tak zvanem prvnim pokoji.

Zde jsme videli poprve v Z"ivote tak krasne stalatity, stalagrnity, helictity jine. Jest to divny pocit, ktery elovek citi, kdy poprve pohlili na tak fantastickou krasu s intrikatnimi vzorky, ktere se utvotily kdyZ kape voda dolti a dvojkyslienik uhlieitY vysycha. Nemohu to vysvetlit jak jest to krasne. Jen ten kdo to uvidel pochopi jako zazraky dokaZe voda a jine chemikalie udelat. Sviti se to vae jako ktiat'aly, nekde bile, jinde zase svetlesmetanove. A ta jemnost tech barev, kde hlidae spustil rueni svitilnu blfZe ku vaemu. KdyZ jsme si prohledli prvni mistnost, all jsme pak do druhe zvane Junction. Zde jest to teZ tak krasne. Videli jsme same male potneky, v kterYch jiZ davno voda vyschla, jen nasledkem vihkosti se v inch trochu vody udrZuje. Jsou Lain td kusy mramoru visici se stropu, a ve vode jsou podivne tvary, jinde to zase vypada jako motske rostliny.

Z Junction mistnosti sli jsme doll do

Strana 6 zaclonoyeho pokoje. Zde to teprve bylo krasne. Kam je oko pohledlo vypadalo to jako by same zaclony a draperie visely po stenach, a ten kdo to tak upravoval, tie si dal zy ldAtni praci, aby vAe spravne viselo.

Tak se to hezky svitilo. Pozdeji jsme Ali do Varhanove mistnosti. Zde na jednom miste to opravdu vypadalo jako velike varhany, a tak pekne se ty konce zahnuly, ae by to elovek lepe nedokazal udelat. Ve strope to vypada jako by tam visely y ellke misy, vAe z Juramoru, dale zase jako sttapce. Pak jsme Ali do Demu. Zde to bylo jeAte krasnejAi. Na jednom miste se ulomil velky kus mramoru a jak leta a leta ta voda na nej kapala, tak se udelal tak pane hladkY. Vypada ten kus jako ohromna bota &eland ze zmrzliny. I nam hlidae delal laskominy, jestli bysme si radi do toho zakousli. U prstu to boty jest nekolik miniaturnich jezirek, kolern nicha jsou biehy zdobene maliekymi koraly. I zde moano videti ty nejjemnejAl a nejhezstalactity. V tornto pokoji jest videt mnoho podivnestvorenych forem ba mraiuoru. Za tou botou jest videt jako krasne draperie tenke kousky yypadajici jako by tam nekdo navesil kousky tence natezane slaniny a pane stoeil. Obe strany jsou ostre. Z DOmu jsme Ali uzouekou cestiekou zvanou "tlusteho pana mizerie". Kandy se musel smati, kdya hlidae povidal, ae nevi jak se dostane na druhou stranu tlustY pan. Ja se musela otoeit na stranu, no ale ja, piece nejsem velika. Jeden pan se musel trochu napnout, aby se dostal na druhou stranu. Vyzdvihl si bkiAko a jia tam byl.

Po to cestiece prisli jsme do mramoroye hale. Zde jsme teprve videli jeskyni ye vAi krase. ,Hlidae zhasl svetla, abysme videli jaka jest zde eerna tma. Potom zase udelal svetlo a teenil. Povidal, ae nejradeji ponechaji kaademu eloveku, aby si sam vymyslel jmeno pro tento pokoj, abysme si ho dobte prohledli. Vypadd jako krasna katedrala s balkonky na nekolika stranach. I okenka jsou. VAe to vypada jak z cukru. Na vAech stranach to vypada jako by nekdo povesil a spustil zaclonky z nejjemnejAiho molinu. Nekde vypadaji jako ptivazane k strane. Jsou videt veae a d yete. Jest teako yetit, tie neco tak krasneho se maze bez lidske ruky udelat. Dale pak jsme Ali fizkou cestiekou a hlidae nam nam ukaae nem eemu se opravdu budeme divit. , a ae kaady budem muset volat tomu co jest za nami, kde to misto je, jinak ae bysme to ne yideli. Tedy jsme Ali po cestiece a kdya jsme pri gli na to misto hlidae volal, koukat nahoru asi sto sttevicu na pravo. Nekteti Tide se zastavili, neb to bylo deco nadherneho. Byla to kombinace vAi to krasy v druhYch mistnostech. VAechno co se nam na jinYch mistech libilo, bylo zde. Henry Ael za mnou a niel volat na druhe, ale on se tak

V2STNIK WEST, TEXAS zahledel, tie docela zapornel povedet jinYm. Nekteri se rozhliaeli, nevsimli si kam Henry hledi a tak malem by jim uAel ten nejkrasnejAi kus cesty. Tak jsem zastavila a volala na vAechny druhe a rukou ukazala kam maji hledet. Neda se slovy vypsati vAechna ta nadhera, kterou ptiroda,umelec dokdzala utvotit. Radi bysme si byli jeAte dale prohliaeli, ale, hlidadi pak zase vAe zavteli a tak jsme tam nechteli zustat. Byli jsme cell prostydli a slunieko tak pekne litalo. Ted' jsem hledela jak vysoko zase mame jiti. Pied nami Ael mlady parek novomanaelt1 a my Ali za nimi.

Tak me zaeali bolet nohy, ale myslela jsem si, jestli to ti mladi dokaai, ae si neudelam ostudu, a Ali jsme stale za nimi.

Ale cesta byla kratAi neali se zdala Wive a neali jsme se naddli uz jsme byli zase nahote. Small jsme se a ja dekovala mladYm lidem, tie mne dodali kurdae, jinak 'ae bych to nedokazala. Oni se ohledli a pravili, tie dekuji nam, 'ae si mysleli, kdya to my dokaaem, tie oni tea. Tak jsme pomahali jeden druhemu. Nikdy nezapomenu jak to byl z ylaStni pocit uvidet poprve jeskyni. Jest tam nekolik jinYch jeskyn, ale neni dovoleno tam jiti.

Hlidae nam vypravoval jak se ten mramor utyotil. Ze pry to kdysi byl vapnik v ktiAt'alove forme a promenil se pied nekolika miliony lety, kdy ohromnY aar tvofil hory. Jest toho vice, ale ja bych to nedokazala tak napsat, aby tomu kaady rozumel. Na to by musel byti profesor.

OF THE STATE OF TEXAS POSTMASTER: Send fo

Constant Planning You no doubt had read a report about the successful district meet held at West

by Lodge Jaromir No. 54, which was Visited by the Supreme Lodge officers and directors, and also by many SPJST members from other lodges in the vicinity. It was reported in the English Section by Brother Hugo Freund. It was also reported in the Czech Section.

The success of any undertaking depends upon careful planning. It is a matter of common-sense observation that some definite plan must be adopted and followed in every lodge work. In addition, there must be the readiness to deal with new conditions and unexpected situations which may upset even the best laid-out plans. The meeting at West had several unexpected handicaps, yet it turned out to be unusually successful.

• Your lodge is exposed to handicaps the same way as your individual members are subjected to limitations. Your lodge lives in a world • against which or with which your organization must fight. From the day of its initial organization until the day of the final dissolving, breaking-up, or absorbing by another organization, your lodge seeks adjustment, development, balance, and opportunity to grow.

• Adjustment is adjustment TO something. Development is development OF something. Your lodge does not exist in a vacuum. There are things which you, as members of a lodge, must take into account.

How did your lodge originate? It took imagination, planning, willingness, cooperation, and desire to do something on the part of a few individuals.

How did your lodge manage to keep growing? Again, it took imaginatibn, planning, willingness, co-operation, and desire to do something on your own part and on the part of others who wished to belong to your group. You and others had the feeling that you were an important part of a group, that you "belonged" and had a chance to express yourself in some way, large or • small, to do something in your own peculiar way, all of which gave you a feeling of satisfaction. The more satisfied you were, the harder you could work with

19

How did some of your members happen to drift away from the lodge work?

There is no use of denying that some of them did cool off. Can you say that there is the same amount of imagination, planning, willingness, co-operation, and desire as it had. been displayed fifteen, twenty-five years previously?

How did you happen to change your meetings to be held only once in three months instead of "at least one meeting each month," as stipulated by the Bylaws? Can you Q() back and find the' cause of lt? Would you have enough strength to revive, to stand on your wobbly legs, to hope for more strength, and to live again in a world against which or with which your lodge must fight?

There are many ways to improve, to gain strength, to get new blood in your veins, to stop the hardening of the arteries in your lodge system.

You say that the conditions have changes? Why, of course. And it is a wonderful arrangement that the conditions do not remain the same. That change may have many names, but you can call it "life." That's what it is, a constant growth, a constant development, constant progressive changes from less perfect to more perfect, an expansion. • But this 'life" and this "growth" needs all those requirements which have been mentioned: imagination, planning, willingness, co-operation, and desire.

Pardon me if I touched your sensitiveness, but the editorials in the Vestnik are supposed to stimulate your thinking, your feeling, your -emotional qualities.

• BROTHERS and SISTERS, we want you to have your Vestnik. When you have a change in address, please send your change of address to the Supreme Lodge SPJST, Fayetteville, Texas. Don't forget to fill it our like this: I have a new address!

Resolution of Sympathy. , Lodge Karel Havlicek No. 4.

Hallettsville, Texas.

With the feelings of deepest regret, the S.P.J.S.T. Lodge Karel Havlicek No. 4 must record the passing of one of its most valued members, our beloved and respected BERNICE F. REHM who died on January 16, 1950 Because we realize to the fullest extent the benefits which our Lodge and entire community have derived from the Christian deeds of this fine lady, and because of the warm personal feeling inspired in our hearts by her kindly, unselfish life; be it RESOLVED, That we insribe upon our records this tribute to her memory, that future generations may know and appreciate her splendid Christian character, her many benevolent deeds, and the respect and esteem in which she was held; and RECOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of our deceased member, together with the assurance of our sincerest sympathy. May our Heavenly Father console them in their present sorrow, and may these words of appreciation and high regard be a solace in the years to come.

RESOLVED: That a copy of this resolution be published in VESTNIK. J. G. Konvicka Emil Grones Erwin J. Bucek COMMITTEE. ) • 4 When Ethan Allen, the Revolutionary hero, was courting the widow Buchanan, he used to take a short cut to her home thru the cemetery.

This desecration outraged some religious neighbors who decided to teach him a lesson, so one night when he vaulted the fence into the cemetery he landed in a pit 6 feet deep. From above came a weird inoaning, ending with "Ethan Allen, what art thou doing in my grave?"

Unperturbed, Allen looked up at the ghostly figure and asked, "Well, what in thunder art thou doing out of it?"

Lincoln—the American Hero.

Lincoln is an ideal hero for Americans, because he came from the very lowest, poorest, meanest stock, and rose to the very highest office in the nation.

As a boy and as a young man he was so like one of our boys that there are very few who cannot say they have as many natural gifts and as many opportunities as he had. He was plain, he was honest, he had good health, and he was determined to get along in the world.

He had his faults, too (such as saying "knowed," "ain't," "heerd"). He did not like to work any better than the boys of today do, he had a weakness for loafing and telling stories, and he was not as polite and polished in manners as his wife would have liked him to be. Even when he became President he was worth but a few hundred dollars, all invested in his small house and plain furniture in Springfield.

But money does not make a man, polished manners do not make him, even education does not make great a man whose soul is small. Lincoln had but a few months' schooling at a country school, and though he read a good many books and studied law until he was fairly skilled in his profession, his self-education was no greater than may easily be attained by any American.

Lincoln was great because he looked at everything so honestly and with such healthy common sense. He never felt himself above even the humblest of his fellows; and though he knew he could think more clearly and act more vigorously than most of the men he met, he did not fancy that to be a cause for "putting on airs." He was always the same Lincoln, whether President in the White House or a poor railsplitter on a Western farm. That made the people love him. They wanted him to be great, because they seemed all to share in his greatness; they wished him to hold high office because they felt they could trust their most difficult problems to him; and they knew that however high he rose he would be just as ready to talk with them and help them as when he was indeed one of themselves.

But much as his friends liked him and trusted him, no one knew how really great he was until suddenly he was made President of the Union, just as the Union seemed falling to pieces. He was like a giant lock that has rolled down from a mountain into the sea.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 12, 1809.

Fourth row: Andrew Geffert, Robert Adamcik, Steve Kapitan.

The object of the Czech Club of The University of Houston is (1) to promote interest in the study of the Czech language, literature, and culture; (2) to 'work toward the establishment of exchange scholarships between The University of Houston and Czechoslovakian universities; (3) to work toward the establishment of an International House on the campus of the university.

Dr. Henry R. Maresh is the Club's honorary member, and Professor Skrivanek is the faculty sponsor.

His parents belonged to that class known in the South as "poor whites."

Lincoln himself was very reserved about his origin and his early life. When he was nominated for the Presidency one of the first newspaper men to interview him was J. L. Scripps of the C'hicago TRIBUNE, who wished to prepare a campaign biography of him. "Why, Scripps," said he, "it is a great piece of folly to try to make anything out of me or my early life. It can all be condensed into a single sentence, and that sentence you will find in Gray's 'Elegy,' `The short and simple . annals of the poo•.'

That's all my life, and that's all you or anyone else can make out of it."

Lincoln seldom spoke of his mother, Nancy Hanks, as she is usually called.

Mr. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner,

says in his biography that only once did the future President refer in his hearing to his origin. "It was about 1850, when he and I were driving in his onehorse buggy to the court at Menard County, Illinois. . . . . During the trip he spoke for the first time of his mother, dwelling on her characteriStics, and mentioning or enumerating what qualities he inherited from her. Hp said, among other things, that she was the daughter of Lucy Hanks and a wellbred but obscure Virginia farmer or planter; and he argued that from this source came his power of analysis, his logic, his mental activity, his ambition, and all the qualities that distinguished him from the other members and descendants of the Hanks family."

Nancy Hanks was the illegitimate daughter of Lucy Hanks, but was

The latter, having also partaken freely of the refreshments provided, would take off his collar, read his text, and preach and pound till the sweat, produced alike by his exertions and the effects of the toddy, rolled from his face in great drops. Shaking hands and singing ended the service."

At nineteen Lincoln grew restless and wanted to leave his father's home; but a friend advised against it, and soon after he had an opportunity to join an-other friend in taking a flat-boat loaded with meat and grain on a trading expedition to New Orleans. His father was paid six dollars a month for his services.

On this trip he attended a slave-market. He saw a comely mulatto girl put on sale. The auctioneer trotted her up and down, and the men pinched her flesh and observed her gait as if she had been a fine-bred mare instead of a human being. Turning away from the scene in disgust he said, "Boys, if I ever get a chance to hit that thing (slavery), I'll hit it hard."

On his return from New Orleans he promised to act as clerk for Denton Offut, who opened a store at New Salem.

Lincoln did not make a good clerk. He was clerking with book under his arm.

Sometimes he would lie at full length on the counter, his head propped up by rolls of calico; or he would steal away to the shade of a nearby tree, where he tried patiently and persistently to master the rules of grammar. How well he succeeded in mastering the English language we may know when we remember that in the Gettysburg speech we have the greatest short oration in history.

Lincoln at this time weighed two hundred and fourteen pounds, and had arms so long and muscles so wiry that he could throw a cannon ball or maul farther than anyone else, while we hear that he once raised a barrel of whisky from the ground on to his knees, so that he could drink from the bunghole, though he never drank.

NO. 63 Dear Members:At our last Monthly meeting which was held Sunday February 12th there were motions made to built 'a new lodge hall or add on the present S.P.J.S.T. hall, - to make it large enough for dances and other recreations.

This is to be done either by selling shares to members or borrowing money from the Supreme Lodge. So all members are urged to attend and be present at the next monthly meeting which will be held Sunday March 12th at 2 P.M. to take part in buying shares in this new hall.

This would not only mean that the S.P.J.S.T. Lodge is getting more prosperous and making progress, but also helping the town and community as well. Our Lodge No, 63 has some 292 members and this should not be a hard task to make.

Kent Merit?, * Cupertino, California Dear Readers, My mother takes the Vestnik and I never miss reading it.

We moved to California almost a year ago. We lived in Texas before that.

I really miss Texas. My aunt in Texas wants -me to write in the Vestnik.

I'm 13 years old, and I go to Cupertino Union School which really is nice.

There surely are a lot of interesting places to go.

Just this week-end, we went to the museum in San e Fransisco. There were some beautiful portraits of different people and homes, lakes, villages, and such beautiful scenes as those.

Just before that we went to the Lick Observatory to see the great telescope they have there. It's really a huge thing. It is open to visitors on Friday nights. Only 5,000 people visited there during the whole year.

We have also visited The Winchester Mystery House." Boy, is that ever something. There are over a hundred rooms, all very beautiful. They have a legend for each room. Most of the rooms were left unfinished. Still today they are not yet finished, and I don't believe they ever will be.

I really do enjoy reading the other writers of the Vestnik. I hope you will find mine as interesting as the ones you write.

Sincerely Yours, Frances Lu Henderson.

Propaganda, of course. I have taught him that we, his elders, cannot make it faucet, But he may. There is a job for him and his generation in the phunbing business. And in every business.

I teach my child and I tell other children of all ages—preschool, in school, in college, and out: That nothing is done finally and right.

That nothing is known positively and completely.

That the world is theirs, all of it. It is full of all sorts of things for them to find out and do, or do over and do right.

And they eat up the good news. They are glad, as I am, that there is something left for them to discover' and say and think and do. Something? There is EVERYTHING for youth to take over, and it is an inspiration for them to learn: That we have not now and never have had in the history of the world a good government.

That there is not now and never has been a perfectly run railroad, school, newspaper, bank, theater, factory, grocery store; that no business is or ever has been built, managed, financed as it should be, must be and will be, some day — possibly in their day.

That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably 99 percent of the knowable has yet to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. Chemistry and physics are little more than a sparkling mass of questions.

When my little boy was an infant his body was inclined to stoop and his mind could easily have developed an inferiority complex. AS, I began to show him that I and the other big people about him were not so big as we looked, and that in the failures of men and women are opportunities open to boys and girls for a full life, his spine straightened and his shoulders braced back with confident poise.

"Pete'll fix it," he would say. And not offensively, either. It was a matter of course that he and the oncoming generation would do things better.

And some of them will. Why not my boy? It's my job as a parent to make

When I was a boy I got, somehow, a picture of a grown-up world in which there was little left for me to do. If I Was a, good boy and learned faithfully, I might find a small place somewhere in. the organization of society where I could make a humble living. But there was nothing new and big to do.

Then one day came a sense of elation with the realization that there ARE opportunities, millions of jobs, big jobs and small jobs, 'for all us kids, young kids and old kids, if only we can be saved from the old illusions and fairy tales and taught to see things as they are — as solvable unsolved problems and opportunities. Life became worth living. Life IS worth living.

Now let me repeat that this, my ,,acquired view of the world as all unknown and undone, or half done or wrongly done, was good for me; it is good for my boy, and I think it will be good for all boys and girls. It gives purpose to their studies, to their work, to their life.

—Lincoln Steffens.

Only Lip Service When one becomes confused or lost in a big city, it is wise to ask a policeman what to do next in order to get where one wants to go. Asking a college professor might not bring desirable results. Policemen are experienced in giving directions. They seldom lose sight of the human factor.

Being, somewhat confused over domestic and foreign and philosophical problems, I recently sought the advice of three wise men—folks whose experience and wisdom might get me on the track of where I wanted to go.

The first wise man—a domestic exPert—told me that mankind would be more prosperous if it were more thrifty; that the weak could not be strengthened by weakening the strong; that character and courage could not be built by destroying initiative and independence; that sound security could not be established on borrowed money; that we could not keep out of trouble by spending more than we earned; that mankind could not 'permanently be • helped by doing for it what it should do for itself; etc.

The second wise man—a foreign expert—told me that we should not take on the quarrels and hatreds of Eurasia; that we should not expect what had failed in other countries to succeed in America; that we would eventually be

VESTNi IC WEST; TEXAS

better off if we tended to our own business .and refrained from foreign corn- , ments; etc.

The third wise man—a philosopher —told me that kindness and love would solve all of our problems; that manners, unaccompanied by kindness, could not exist; that wars, accompanied by love, were impossible; that greed and hate had to disappear when kindness and love appeared; etc.

I passed all this wisdom along to many of my acquaintances. Most of them privately agreed it was sound.

But many of these most did not pass it along to others because it was not popular. When they asked me and when I told them who the wise 'men were, many of them became peeved, almost angry—and one said I was platitudinous, a big word with a stale smell.

They all gave lip service to Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington, and Jesus Christ, but many of them , were too easy-going to preach their gospels. ) • 4. • (,

The Day,

Nylon

In the United States today, comparatively few people are so poor as to be shabby and to defy the standards of the communitty in which they live. A relatively high national income, coupled with the development of mass production methods for making inexpensive and well-designed clothes and keeping them clean, has made it possible for the vast majority of the American people to dress in up-to-date styles and wear clothes that are whole and clean.

The most important innovation in the synthetic fiber field in recent years has been nylon. Industrial chemists speak of nylon as one of the three or four great chemical developments in the last twenty-five years. It is the raw material for a textile fiber stronger and more elastic than silk, wool, linen, cotton, or rayon.

The story of nylon dates back to a research program fathered by Dr. Charles M. A. Stine, who in January 1940 received the coveted Perkin Medal, .annual award for distinguished contribution in the field of applied chemistry. With .the Du Pouts since 1907, Dr Stine helped solve our dye problem during the World War One, worked on explosives, and with his own hands manufactured the first TNT for the Navy. By 1924 he was Du Pont's chemical director. Early in 1928, he persuaded the company to broaden its policy and set aside large sums for fundamental research as contrasted with research on immediately practical problems. "Patient money,"

someone called it, because it looked for no prompt return.

After this fundamental research had been under way for about two years, a chemist in the group headed by the late Dr. Wallace Carothers pulled a sample of molten material from a still and noticed that it could be drawn out like a fiber of silk. And, extremely important, that the fiber after cooling could be stretched again to several times its original length.

But nylon was not born that day. It was only conceived. Hundreds of compounds were prepared; some were too weak, some insufficiently elastic, others too sensitive to water. At last fibers which appeared promising were spun by hand from one of the compounds.

Then came the day when a compound was formed into an encouragingly good filament by squirting it through a hypodermic needle. More searching, more experiments with varying processes and formulas — and finally U. S. patents numbers 2,130,947 and 2,130,948.

Even the layman can catch some glimpse of the fundamental chemistry here newly applied. The atom is the smallest possible subdivision of a basic element. Atoms combine to form molecules — as two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen to form a molecule of water. The three-atom molecule of water is very small. Chemists thought it ought to be possible to coax the atoms of some of the abundant elements to form giant molecules, joining hands in long chains. Such things occur in nature. The rubber molecule is one of the longest known. The Du Pont chemists set out to synthesize a substance which would have a long molecule of rubberlike structure. The first result was neoprene, Du Pont's chemical rubber. Out of this fundamental research also came nylon. Its molecule is actually LONG enough (1/100,000 of an inch) to be seen by a powerful microscope, but too fine. Nylon contains the same elements as silk — carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen — and arranged in somewhat the same way.

These are likewise the chemical elements of coal, water and air.

Nylon is first formed in icy-white ribbons of any width and thickness that happen to be convenient for handling. If intended for use as a textile fiber, these ribbons are broken into little chips. The chips are melted and the water-clear liquid, looking like thick glycerine, is squirted through tiny nozzles to form cobwebby filaments. The filaments solidify in the, air, and are wound on spools. Each, filament, if there were a microscope powerful

enough to peer into its structure, would' be seen to be made up of long chainlike molecules, crisscrossed helter-skelter.

NeNt, the filaments are stretched.

The stretching aligns the molecular cilflins into parallel formation, brings them so clMe together as to create powerful intermolecular attraction.

What causes intermolecular attraction no scientist knows, but it is the force that holds all substances together, tenuously as in -water, or firmly as in iron.

At any rate, this intermolecular attraction - is increased in nylon by the stretching — just a way of saying that the stretching makes nylon stronger.

There is one detail of importance and interest in the making' of nylon stock. Silk stockings are dyed before they are slipped onto metal forms where they are' dried smooth with heat.

Nylon stockings are stretched onto metal forms--they are "boarded," they call it—before stockings are dyed.

Otherwise the hot dye would set the nylon; permanently preserving every wrinkle, fold, or bulge. This stretching or nylon stockings is done at a higher lenlperature than it is used in the "boa rding" of silk. The result is that the nylon stocking is permanently shaped, can never bag or wrinkle, and after washing and drying looks as if it had just come from the store. It "irons itself" and whatever shape it was given in the setting process it will retain unless and until it is exposed to a greater heat than that at which it was set.

thinking how matmcIy he accepted disappointment, with simple confidence that things would be better soon.

I had not seen Tim for some time, and then one day he came again. I was Walking in the groundS, and came upon him squatting over a bed of ants. He was interrupting a stream of the busy little insects by placing a stick where they would have to climb over it to go about theirs business.

To make conversation I asked about his father: "I suppose you will be going home soon and will get to play with your father after supper? Or will you have to go straight to bed?"

He looked at the rather seriously, and said "No, sir; my father has had an accident and he had to go to the hospital.

So I won't be playing with my father— just now."

The other day I chanced to walk in the neighborhood where Timothy lives, and saw him out on the sidewalk, idly bouncing a ball. He was all dressed up in a neatly patched dark blue suit.

"Hello, Timmy," I said. "All dressed up on a Saturday? I suppose –you're going to the hospital to see your father?"

He gave me a bright smile, but shook his head. It was then I got an insight into the kind of belief that makes our world worth living In. "No, Sir," Timmy answered me; "I'm not going to the hospital, You see, my father died, and we won't be seeing, him --just now."

Two Little Words

Sober Thinking

(By John Golden) People, adults ; listen to children with only half an ear, and thereby miss impHrtant overtones in their conversations h; , 1, are laden with, meaning.

To our house every so often comes a instress to help my wife with the sewing, a matter which can involve anything from the repair and addition of guests to my underclothing, to the rune Mg up of new drapes or furniture covers. When she comes she usually brings her little boy, Timothy, and it is from Timothy that I learned the meaning of a deep and abiding faith.

Timmy and I have been friends for a long time, and we always have a few words together when he comes to the house with his mother. Recently he dropped the interesting information that he hoped to get a pair of roller ska Les. The next time I saw him I asLed if lie had got them, and he replied, No, sir; Mother says we can't afford them—just now." I remember

Today approximately 30 percent of the total income of our people is being, taken away from them to support local; State and Federal Government. In other words, we are working about 3 1/2 months out of every year just to pay the cost of government. This is an alarming situation. It should arouse every patriotic citizen.

Seventeen years ago Franklin D. Roosevelt, then a candidate for President, made this statement: "Any government, like any family, can for a year spend a little more than it earns. But you and I knew that a continuance of that habit means the poorhouse." Truer words were never spoken.

Since then the Federal Government has spent beyond its income every single year with the exception of 1946 and 1947.

Yes, the poorhouse is the end Lor the family that follows that policy. But in the family of governments the disa-

trolls end-is national bankruptcy and all of the tragedy that goes ulon, , with it.

What happens to a nation on the march toward national bankrupt*?

Taxes become more excessive and burdensome. Inflation destroys the parchasing power of the worker. Wages decline. The standard of living is lowe r e d. Unemployment is Mr! eDsed.

Venture capital is dried up. The expansion of industry and business creating new jobs is stopped.

With this comes rationing of food, clothing, and all the necessities of 'life.

Confusion and unrest spreads among the people.

Then the bomb of bankruptcy explodes with all the horror and suffering of atomic warfare. Not a single citizen escapes its destructive force.

Savings are wiped out. Life nsurance policies become worthless. Values established by generations of toil, thrift, and sacrifice disappear.

Out of the rubble of a smashed and ruined economy, a socialistic form of dictatorship rises to take control. Government becomes the all-powerful and absolute master of the citizens.

The people are controlled and regulated in their daily lives by the iron hand of a planned and regimented police state.

The free-enterprise system is destroyed. All industry is taken over by the Government and free labor unions are outlawed.

Human rights, human dignity, • and freedom of the individual are lost )• •(

Print the Proper Names If you write your report in longhand, please PRINT all proper names. • It is unpleasant, and sometimes embarrassing, to see your perfect report all spoiled by the carelessness of the editor to allow mistakes like misspelled names too be printed. But sometimes the editor is not sure what some of the names are. Then, too, what looks perfectly legible to him, may be puzzling to the linotype operator who, naturally, cannot be acquainted with every naive, especially the Czech names.

When your report is written in longhand, and when, you leave enough space between the lines and with wide ma • gins on both sides, the editor usually plays safe and he PRINTS the names for the guidance of the operator.

And too, do not write on both sides of the paper, but use another sheet.

That's the first rule for everything which is placed in the hands of a printer.
