VZPOM1NKA NA V. BENE g E TREBiZSKUO ONCEM Anora vzpominal CeskY narod jednoho ze strYch nejmiK lejSich spisovatelti a nejvernejAich synt, "klecanskeho kaplanka" Vaclava Bene'Se Ttebizskeho. V letech sedmdesatYch, osindesatYch a devadesatYch Ceti lid Cesky Ttebizskeho spisy, upravene z deskYch dain, horliveji nd kterekoliv jine. A nejen Ceti, ale take srdcem proMval Oechny ty deje minule, slavne i kormutlive, protOZe TtebizskY clOvedl sy Ymi tadky mocne mluviti k eeskemu srdci. Nikdo nedovedl tak rozechvet a nikdo tak pcsilit mocnou virou v lepgi ptigti naroda, nad kterYm tolik hroznYch bouil se by vzneslo a tolik protivenstvi vyttpel, jako malokterY jinY! V oboru historicke povidky a romanu, jirnZ se venoval va gnive a s pinou duSi, neinifZeme ho sice jmenovat mistrem, jako jeho dva dalAl. nasledovniky Jiraska nebo Wintra, kterYmi Ceske historicka literatura vyvrcholila. Nedospel k jejich ptisne vernosti realisticke ani k bezpeene podbarvene dobe po strance spoleCenske a kulturni — nahrazoval je Casto rcmanticky vysnenou pohadkou slzive sladkobolni.

Ale nikdo mu nemige uptiti nesmirne a malebne vroucnosti cite, s jakou Mil utrpeni a takou strazeri takovYch dramat husitskYch, bratrskYch i pobelohorskYch, k nitn'Z ptedev gim upjal sraj laskyr:InY hied. A nikdo mu take neupte one ptimo zazraene pracovni sily, s jakou za jedine desitileti literarniho '2ivota, tento bledY, hbytemi stale podlamovanY klecanskY kaplanek napsal pies devadesat povidek a romanil, mezi nimi'Z i velmi obsahlYch (Kratovna -Dagnar, V podveded petiliste ride, Bludne du ge atd.)

Pti romanove skladbe "1Thlapan" vychrlil pti leeeni v MarianskYch Laznich" U pramene" posledni proud 'sve krve sotva teprve 35 letY. Ta jeho posledni prace vyAla v Lumiru 1884 a'2 po smrti..

TtebizskY, katolickY knez, byl vlasteneckym knezem v nejkrasnej gich slov tech smyslu. V husitskom pozdvii'eni videl narodni revoluci nejenom proti vli-

vtiun nemectvi, IlYbf2 take proti vgemu, co do CeskYch vlasti zleho ptineslo, zvlanevolnictvi a feudalni tady, porobu selskeho lidu a bidu tech, kteti praci svou dobYvali lidstvu chleb. Ptekrasne psal o techto snahach a Aklive lieil utrpeni, jemu2 vystaven byl CeskY lid po neWastne bitvo na Bile hote. Reta jeho povidek pobelohorskYch zvla gte Ceske etenate zajimal.

svou praci a pideinlivost, ye sve mocne mravni sily, void opetovne ye syYch povidkach TfebizskY, ktery videl v historii ueitelku a psal tak, jak v uptimnem svem srdci citil.

TtebizskY volil ke s yYm spisum latku z cele Ceske minulosti, od dob knaecich a2" na dobu nejnovejM. Mnoho krasnYch povidek a •ot/esti napsal i Ceske mlade2i.

Sebrane spisy jeho obsaruji gestnact svazku a z toho je patrno, 22.e byl spisovatelem neobyeejne pilnYm, nadanym a hlavne poctivYm. Ud za jeho Zivota se tikalo, de pie perem zlatYm. Nachazeje se na smrtelnem 1112.ku pravil ke syYrn. ptatelhm: "Jsem tak mlad a inam tolik krasnYch veci v hlave, j&Z chci Ceskemu lidu napsati — ach, nedejte mne umiiti!" Spisy Ttebizskeho vYgly v mnoha yYdanich, vgak dues jsou jiZ" rozebrany.

Ttebizskeho divot byl zazraene PoZ'eImanY i syYm vdekupinYm ovocem rodne vychovatelskYm. Je podnes, *a pied Jiraskem byl rozhodne nejetenejgim eeskYm spisovatelem. Patti mu take jedna z nej y yUich zasluh za vlasteneckou vYchovu naroda a za narodni uvedomeni vlivem poznani Ceske minulosti, stejne i za Siteni ldsky k Ceske knize. Byl milaakem Ceskeho 'atenakstva nejen za sveho 'Zivota, ale i po ptedeasne smrti, kdy jeho dilo lasky k narodu bylo teprve nalaite zhodnoceno. S yYmi vrstevniky liCen jest jako Olovek mimotadne dobreho srdce, pthno detinske nehy a neposky rneneho Zivota. Jednim z posuzovatelh jeho dila nazvan byl literarnim svetcem.

Bylo to roku 1475 (tedy je'Ste v dobe pied objevenim Ameriky), kdy Vladislav JagelonskY, velikY milovnik stavebnictvi, poloZil zakladni kamen.

Stavbu zapoeal Mistr Vaclav a podarilo se

Ale ani tonni nebylo doprano, aby stavbu dokoneil. Zanechal side nadherne dilo, avgak neupine. Ve2 je cennYm historickYm socharskYm dilem, vyzdobena bohate na vkch stranach od zaklada po cele plok aZ ke streAe. Neni proto divu, Ze dokuneeni tohoto dila dodkala se Praha a2 po vice ne2 400 letech (roku 1884) architektem IVIockrem, znamYm stavitelem domu Svatovitskeho na Hraddanech.

NejstarH besedy spadaji do dob pied prvni svetovou valkou. Ceske strana pokrokova-realisticka, mela tehdy svoje mistnosti v hotelu Viktoria v Jungmannove ulici. Tam jednou mesiene, obyeejne v nedeli k rah venkovskYin elenam, zasedaval vYkonnY vYbor strany.

Prof. Masaryk, predseda a tvfirce strany, se zajimal o vAechny zpravy, ktere venkovki elenove priva2eli. Starostlive se zajimal na pr. i o cestovni Utrapy a kdy2 tu a tarn nekdo z venkova chybel,

Ve stfedu, dne 15. bfezna 1950. se: "Prosim vas — cestovani je 1 zainlel drahe."

Sama jsem skoro zadne schfize nevynechala. Jaka, to byla vzacna politicka, SIola! Masaryk a Herben, Drtina a Cama1, Boueek a Dukk a cela, Pada jinYch sla y -nYchjme.Apot:izdarhuPHbyslavi do Prahy na Z'eleznieni legitimaci stale jen — 24 halehl! 0 teto vYhode veal take pan profesor.

BYvala jsem eastokrat, hued od vlaku, prvni na miste. Ostatni elenove, praMti i venkovki, se obyeejne trousili pozdeji.

Nejpresnejk bYval sam predseda strany: bud'to jsem jej ph piichoclu do klubovny zastihla uZ u skrini s knihami a registraturou, nebo prichazival kratieko po mne.

A pak jsme eekali na ostatni — a zatim jsme besedovali. Jedenkrat jsme eekali u2 dost diouho a pork' sami dva. A tu mne nadmula jakasi chlubnost: "Vid'te, pane profesora, ja jsem nejpilnejk realistkal" Pan profesor si pohladil vous — a mldel.

STR10EK MiCEK Z AUST1NU. 4, 4# ) LEKMINOVE JEZERO Napsal Fraria VelkoborskY Dva Indiani, nant a Zena, stanuli jednoho dne u velkeha jezera v horwch.

Jezero bylo puste a tmava voda svedeila o jeho hloubce. Ale brehy jezera byly zarostle nizkou travou, krovinami a stromy. I zalibilo se tam muZi a Z'ene a stall u jezera. Vystaveli si chatu a usidlili se v Mul: se zakratko presvedeil, Ze v jezee hojnost pstruhil a jinYch ryb, ktere zaeal lovit. Zena se pak starala o jejich malou doreacnost. Brzo po jejich prichodu .k jezeru narodila se jinn holeieka. PriSla, na svet za krasneho. sveliho jitra sluneeniho a proto ji nazvali SmavYm Kvetem.

Jednou lovil Indian ryby. Jeho lodice byla daleko na jezere a vyhliZela od brehu jako hraeka. Indianova 'Zena machala na lorehu pradlo a byla 'St'astna, mute mit sveho mute stale na oeich.

Kdy2 vymachala pradlo, Sia mezi stromy a tam je veSela, aby uschlo. Zatim vybehlo devadtko, ktere a2 umelo chodit, z chaty a batolilo se k jezeru, ani2 to jeho matka pozorovala. HoIdieka se naklonila na jezerem a spatrila ye vode jinou holeteku. Vztahla k ni rueiely a holeieka ye, vode ueinila tot&Z. Usmala se na ni a holdieka ye vode se take usmala. To se Smaveniu Kvetu velmi libilo; i zatleskala radostne ruekama. Tu se matka obratila a vidouc dceruSlu sklonenou nad hlubokou vodou, stra S - ne se ulekla a chtela vykriknouti. Ale hruzou ji jazyk znehybnel a ona pozbyla reei. Utikala k elceru gce, chytila ji do naruae a spechala s ni do chatrae. KdyZ se Indian vratil z lovu, nernalo se podivil tomu, ze jeho Zena nemluvi. Dala mu na srozumenou,

Straus 15 co se stalo. Byli z toho oba velmi nett'astni, Ze matka dceru S s ky pozbyla fedi.

Ale ona to sna§ela stateene, nebot' byla rada, Ze deveatko nespadlo do jezera a neutopilo cc v nem. Mohlo se to lehce stati.

Uplynulo =oho dni. Driveatko prospivalo krascu i povahou. Indian je naudil zpivati pisne, ktere drive zpivala matka.

Ale bylo to nekdy piece jen smutne, kdyZ mui. byl cele dny na lovu a Zena nemehla mluviti. Trapila se tim a sedavala na brehu jezera na tom miste, kde jeji deeruSka spatrila ye vode po prve sVtij obraZ. Slay ji kanuly z odi, jak se nad vodou sklanela. Modlila se k Velkemu ManitoU, aby ji vratil. red.

Tu jednou spatrila zvla gtni zjev. VelkY kvet vyrostl z vody a rozvinui se nad hladinou. Byl krasnY a thrive bilY. Matka spathe jej myslela, Ze se ji to jen zda.

Naklonila se a dotkla se kvetu rukama.

Byl to skuteenY kvet. Zena byla velmi dojata a povaZovala to za z yla,Stni znameni. VelikY Manitou k ni promluvil kvetern, vyrostlYin z vody. Neutrhla kvet, ale denne. k nemu chodila a vZdy se ji zdal krasnejSi. Jednou zas sedela na brehu a divala se na kvet. Tu priletel k ni mcdrY ptalK a zazpival lidskSrm hlasem: "Manitou vyslySel tve modlitby. Sklori se ke kvetti, jehoZ jmeno je leknin, a dotkni se ho syYmi lusty. NabudeS opet reel."

I udinila tak Zena a hned mohla mluvit. Na znameni vdeenosti pak oba S • t'astni rodide pfezdili s holdioku na Smavy Leknin.

V itterY veoer, dne 7. btezna phaila se hotej g i dvorana budovy tadu Pokrok eetnYrni navgtevniky, se gedgirni se ku oslave stoleteho vYroei bYvaleho presidenta Ceskoslovenske republiky. Addove darny se velmi_ piicinily o peknY rat oslavy, hezky poeet byl jich v narodnich krojich a krome toho se velmi pricinily o ucteni pozvanyeh hosti, ptinesouce ze s yYch domovil takove mnotstvi ZaktiskU, te zapinily dye podlonhle tabule, sahajici od jedne ku druho' steno dolej gi sine.

Slavnostni akt Zahajil bratr ptedseda tadu Rudy Sefeik, ptedstaviv ptitomne hosty sedici na podiu jevi gte ptipadnYna oslovenim, oznarniv za jakym f.reelem je tato zvlag tni slaVnost potadana a dekuje shromaZdenYm za tak velkou navgtevu.

Hasty na jeviSti byli Dr. Henry R. Maresh, ptedseda Liberty Loan and Building Association, Dr. E. W. Sktivanek, prolesor slovanskYcla jazykil. v Houston University, J. M. Skrabanek, Glen teditelskeho sboru Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texas, vysiontily bratr tadovY ptedseda Frank Olexa a tadovY miStoptedseda, bratr Fred Hilsher. Prime vystoupila nage vygkolena peykyne, sestra Elsie Dobegova, zapeySi "Star Spangled Banner, po ni nasledoval dvojzpev sestry Dobegove se sestrou Birdie Hilsherovou a pak sborovY zpe y nagich sester v narodnich krojich a dvou bratti.

Po te ptedseda tadu, bratr Rudy Sefeik ptedstavil prveho teenika, Dra. Henry R. Mareshe, jent, zavital na to oslavu se svou choti. Dr. Maresh, ujav se slova, pronaluvil `nejdfive Oesky a pak anglicky, zminiv se jake zasiuhy rnel o desky narod tento velkY mut rozenY v chudem prosttedi a kterY vzdor v gem ptekatkam jit v pokroeilem vein ujal se prace ku uvolneni z jahna habsburske monarchie eeskeho naroda, pod kterYm upel lakes tti sta let. OsvobozenY narod za ty jeho neseetne zasluhy pro narod povolal jej na presto]. presidentsky -nove utvotene republiky. Dr. Maresh pozvedl po zasluze jeho demokratickeho ducha, jeho vliv a usili o ziskani osvobozeni deskoslovenskYch zemi u vedoucich statnika rilznYch vlad.

Po to ptedstavil bratr ptedseda, Dra. E. W. Sktivanka, jako druheho teenika, jent jsa zrozen zde, nav gtevoval take starobylou univerisitu Karlovu v zlate, stovetate Praze, ne nadarrno zvane "Praha caput regni 13oheraiae", (Praha hlava, eeskeho kraloystvi). Tarn se Dr. Sktivanek seznamil s vynikajicimi deny fa,kulty, tam na byl girSi rozhled o te na gi byvale rodne semi, tam mel phletitost hloubeji vniknouti v tive;, (oho naroda, v vy:1m1c.nest, v jell() Uulturni vyspelost.

Byl to hlavne ten obyeejnY prostY elovek, delnici, kteia. jej pornohli s yYrni hiasy zvoliti za poslance do ti gske rady, kteti stall pti nem kdyt byl napacia,n pseudovlastenci, klerem a antisemitskymi tivly, Ste v procesu se sexualnim zvrhlikem Hilsnerem, pro domnelou ritualni vratdu na slutebnem*deveeti Anetky Hrilzove v Polne. Bylo mu v novinach ptlmo spilano, zvlagte v tech vlasteneckYch Zurnalech, rovnet tak v ultramontannim tisku, te je zaprodanec "idovstva. Za to, to sou-. citil s delnictvem, to konal pro nej ptednagky, byl karikovan v novinach se girakem, s kouticimi pumami a jinak• Stejne se s nim octli v podobnYch karikaturach Dr. Jan Herben, vydavatel realistickYch novin, Casu a spisovatel Svatopluk Machar. Ti se tem vlasteneckYm Velikantin Velikanoviotim nelibili, byli jim trnem v oeich. Machar, ten zvla gte byl u nick na mutee pro jeho bkitkou kritiku jejich vlastenectvi, jdouciho "at do tech hrdel a statku" basnickou epopei bojovniel". Ve dvornich kruzich ye Vidni, kdyt byl Masaryk je gte profesorem na Karlove universite v Praze, byl tarn take "persona non grata" a na jinych mistech rovnet tak. Byl jsem tehdy v Praze u novin, stYkal jsem se s mYmi studenty kolegy na universite studujicimi, tak jsem Casio zvedel i od socialne demokratickYch paslancti z ti gske rady rihnene novinky, ktere z diplomatickYch kruhn rfanYmi cestiekami k "Um proklouzly.

Ve stfeauedne 15. bkezna 1950. sti, to byla oeskoslovensku stlana cestieka ku Mnichovu, proto si . Hitler mohl troufati. Zabrani Rakouska a odgtepeni Slovenska bylo hkebem do samostatnosti eeskoslovenske republiky a moje obavy pted tim pronesene ku jednomu vynikajicimu zastupci republiky se osvedeily opravnenymi. Vira nekterYch lidi byla tak mocnou, to vzdor mernu nazoru, to Anglie, ani Francie nebudou hIedeti zabraniti, aby Nemeeko neurvalo to pohranieni pasma Oeskoslovenska, do posledni chvile doufali, te to urvani z tela Oeskoslovenska Hitleravi nedovoli. Zvla gte Anglie Francie maji na sobe mnoho ohyzdnych skyrn a tetko zahaluji to jimi si ptisvojovanou demokratienost.

Co se mne nejlepe libilo na ptednagce profesora Sktivanka bylo, jak lehce bvladal svilj themat, jeho vybrougenost v Ceske naluve a jeho jasny profesorskY hla.s, na jaky jsem byl zvyklY u nagich profesort v Praze, cot nas studenty dovedlo upoutati. Je videti, ze Dr. Sktivanek vi jak ovladnouti ptedmet o nemt vyklada a to nepostrada, ovladani slovnich vYraztl v ee gtine, zkratka, to je zrozen pro ueitelske povolani a mute rids velice tegiti, ze mame na na gi houstonske universite takoveho vynikajiciho profesora, syna jedne z na gich pionerskYch rodin.

Oba keenici, jak Dr Maresh, tak i Dr. Sktivanek byli odmeneni za jejich pfednagku boutlivYm potleskem.

Po pkedna gee nage sestry v krojich octly se opet na jevi gti a zapely sborove celou serii nagich narodnich pisni a ovgem, te nebylo zapomenuto ani na na ge "Kde domov mirj?", ani na "Hej Slovane!" Dalsi °slava stoleteho vYroei narozenin presidenta Masaryka byla, v patek tu gim, na houstonske universite, kde rovnez teenili Dr. Henry R.

Tribute to Masaryk by Governor Shivers It gave me double pleasure to publish in the preceding issue of the Vestnik the text of the proclamation of March 7, which was last Tuesday, as Masaryk Day in Texas by the Honorable Allan Shivers, Governor of Texas.

I say a double pleasure; I should say a treble pleasure: First, because of my reverence for Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, not so much as the first president of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, but admiring him more as being a profound political thinker who always stressed indiyidualism, rejected communism, and Who always placed his faith in democracy and in humanity; second, because of my warm appreciation of Governor Shivers' proclamation and his invitation to us to be present when his official memorandum was signed; and third, because of the unusual interest on the part of many prominent Texans of Czech parentage to witness this memorable event.

There were about forty or fifty persons who came to Austin and met with Governor Shivers in his reception office. Our SPJST organization was represented by President Edward L. Ma rek, Secretary John F. Chupick, Vicepresident Frank G. Svadlenak, Attorney August Kacir, Medical Director Dr. John A. Halamicek, Director J. M. Skrabanek, Director Charles Navratil, and Chairman of the press Committee, Joseph Hornak. The Farmers Mutual Association (RVOS) was represented by Secretary Joe Slavik, Treasurer John Hanacek and Attorney George E. Kacir. The Czech Catholic Union (KJT) had there its president, I. C. Parma; and the Union of Czech Catholic Women was represented by Attorney Roman J. Bartosh. From the University of Texas came Dr. Micek, Dr. Taborsky, Professor Malik, and three students whose names I failed to get. Of course, the charming daughter of Brother Svadlenak, Miss Rheta, also a University student, was present, too.

There were three members of the State Legislature in the group: Senator Gus Strauss, Representative R. B.

Spacek, and Representative Frank G. Svadlenak. Another citizen of Austin, Attorney Jos. V. Frnka, from General Land Office, was seen there shaking hands with his professional associates already mentioned and also with Attorney Reuben 'B. Lesikar, of Temple, and his brother, Attorney John W. Lesikar, of Bay City. Father of these young attorneys, Brother Frank S. Lesikar, of Taylor, was also present. Brother Jos. V. Frnka was pleasantly surprised to meet in the Governor's reception office his former co-worker from Munich, Germany, Brother Joseph Hornak, Jr., of College Station. It was touching to see the surprise on the faces of these two workers from the American Zone when they met again for the first time on the home soil—in the Governor's office.

It is impossible to remember and account for all the people who were present. The University of Houston wished to send its Czech representation, but the detail could not be worked out.

Dr. Henry Maresh and Stephen Valcik were the only semi-official representatives. Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 was represented by its chairman, Brother Rudy Sefcik. It was found out that Governor Shivers remembered Rudy as an old acquaintance. Rudy, it appeared, tried to keep this for himself, but some day I'll tell you the whole story.

The Houston delegation had a wonderful trip with Mrs. Henry Maresh driving there and back. Mrs. Maresh jokingly reminded Governor Shivers Of having similar liking for the Czechs: "Governor Shivers, we do have something in common. You married a Czech girl, and I married a Czech boy." Mrs. Shivers, if you should not know, is the daughter of the late John Shalt', of Sharyland, near Mission, down in the Rio Grande Valley.

Probably a dozen or more.persons should be mentioned, but I cannot recall all of them. There was Brother A. A. Spacek, of Granger, brother of Representative Spacek; Mr. Baca, also of Granger; Mr. Skrabanek and Mr. Sefcik, both from Caldwell; and Representative James B. Pattison, from Waller County, who also claims to be a part Czech by marrying a Czech girl.

Governor Shivers, after walking in, passed informally from one group to another, shaking hands friendly with everybody and thanking them for their coming. Then he sat down to sign his proclamation. At the same moment, a group picture was taken.

Governor Shivers proclamation was a timely one. He should be heartily congratulated for his action. His memorandum reminded us, as we need to be reminded occasionally, that democracy is not only a political system but also . a moral cne, and that humanity is not a mere abstract noun but all the moral concepts and ethics manifested in treating all men with sympathies and understanding. We thank sincerely Governor Shivers for reminding all the Texans of Czech origin to preserve "the democratic heritage of Masaryk in the minds of our citizens."

• 4 • MASARYK'S DEMOCRACY "I admit that democracy has its faults. However, I do not agree with these who claim that democracy is decomposing. Other forms of government have also their faults. History of political developments reveal that democracy is really in its infancy, whereas the other forms of government had evolved for milleniums. Democracy, democracy, which is real, dembcracy which is true, is just beginning. Democracy of today must see to it that the pOlitical education of governmental officials, of the representatives„ and of the people is constantly improved. In democracy, there should be a rule; non solum numerantur, sed etiam ponderandur (not only to count, but also to weigh)."— Message to Parliament, 1927.

Her article also deserves to be reprinted for the benefit of the Vestnik readers. It will be under a three-column headline in large type, as follows: UNIVERSITY TO JOIN WORLDWIDE OBSERVANCE OF MASARYK DAY

By Faydelle Stoker The University will join in a world wide commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the birth of Thomas G. Masaryk at an assembly program today.

Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, is regarded by many as the greatest statesman of the century.

Dr. C. F. Hiller, director of the School of Arts and Sciences, will speak on "Masaryk, the Democrat." Also on the program, Dr. Henry Maresh, local physician and personal friend of the Masaryk family, liberator and philosopher.

A group of dancers and singers from the "Hlahol," a Czech dramatic club in Houston, will perform some typical Czech folk dances. Dressed in their native costume, they will dance the "Beseda," a Slav folk dance.

Dr. John M. Skrivanek, assistant professor and chairman of the Department of Slavonic Languages, worked with Dr. Hiller in preparing the assembly program.

Dr. Hiller, Dr. Maresh, and Dr. Skrivanek all were acquaintances of John Masaryk, the liberator's son.

John Masaryk has spoken on the University campus be f or e. His death, a few years ago, publicized as suicide, was believed by many to be in direct consequence of the Communist coup d'etat in Czechoslovakia.

Thomas Masaryk was the first president of Czechoslovakia. He patterned his newly formed government after that of the United States. So much like our government was his that during that era of his presidency Czechoslovakia was tabbed "The Little United States of Europe."

It was not just coincidental that his republic was so much like ours. Masaryk had several connections with this country and these probably influenced the resemblance. His wife was an American. Woodrow Wilson was a close friend of his. Masaryk even taught in America, at Chicago university.

He was in the United States when the Czechoslovakian declaration of independence was sent to him for his signature. He signed the document on the same table on which our Declaration of Independence was signed.

He is regarded in Europe much as Franklin D. Roosevelt is in America.

VESTNIK WEST, TEXAS

Senator Herbert Lehman has recommended before Congress that special stamps with his picture be issued. The senator said that he regards Masaryk as "The greatest statesman of the century.".

His 100th birthday is being celebrated all over the world. Texas, Illinois, Michigan, and New York City declared March 7 as "Masaryk Day." The Library of Congress celebrated it all this week by displaying his pictures, books, and works. There were similar celebrations in Central and South America, Belgium, France, and Holland.

Some other colleges commemorating the occasion are Harvard, Colorado, Arizona, Mont/and, California, Oklahoma, Chicago, and Idaho.

As stated above, this is a report of the preparation for the Masaryk program. If possible, we shall try to secure the speeches of the principal speaker, and give them to you in the next issue. )• 4 • (

A Dual Culture We are constantly asking the same embarrassing question without arriving to any satisfactory answer: What to do to get our younger generation interested in ' our SPJST, or in similar organizations?

Last fall, your associate editor had spent eighteen weeks in listening to lectures and taking part in discussions of the basic difficulties which are apparent in every immigrant and . ethnic group. In these lectures and discussions we had covered practically every major nationality found in the United States: Negroes, Mexicans, Jews, Poles, Czechis, Hungarians, Jugosla ys, and even Chinese and Japanese.

In human society the physical differences are far less marked than they are between several varieties of the same kind of fruit, say apples. It is what a man learns in school, on playgrounds, in games, in street, at home, in all his neighborhood—all that put together distinguishes one from another. This learning process is what really counts.

Let me illustrate this point by giving you a story. It shows how two ways of learning can pull two people, a father and a son, in two directions.

Where are you going, Joe?" Struggling with his mackinaw and racing for the door, Joe only grunted in reply.

"Hold on a minute, young man," said his father sternly. "I asked you a civil question. All I want is a civil answer.'

"Frantikk wanted me to go out with. him tonight," replied Joe.

Strang 21 "And what does 'out' mean, can you tell me that?"

"Oh, ycu know what we do on Thursday nights at the high school, Dad. Just basketball practice."

"So that's it again. I thought so.

You're always ready to go out and play basketball but when it's time to go over to Czech Hall and get ready for the Slet, you're usually some place else.

Isn't that it?"

"Well, who goes to the Slet except our Czech friends? A lot of the boys are dropping out, you know that. Basketball is an American game."

"American is it? Aren't we all good American? Does it make us any less Americans when we go to Sokol meetings and learn to have a sound mind in a sound body? To learn the beautiful exercises given to us all by Miroslav Tyr' — isn't that something good? A lot of Americans would be better off if they did the same."

Joe looked at the floor. "Oh, what's the use, Dad? We've gone over all this so many times before. Anyway, the Sokol isn't meeting tonight and basketball helps build the body too. Coach told me the other day that if I kept on practicing the way I am now, he'll make me a regular forward. Wouldn't you like to have a Vopieka representing the family for Wharton High?"

Mr. Vopleka looked startled for a moment. Then he smiled. since I don't know anything about the game, how can I know what you're doing?

Anyway you can't get the same good out of it as a good stiff night practicing with the Sokol."

"Yes, I can, Dad," exclaimed Joe excitedly. "And you can learn about it too. Come on now, I want you to make me a promise. If I get on the team, you will come and see me play. The other kids are always bragging about their fathers and mothers in the gallery. Why should I be any different?

I'll explain the game to you if you'll only come once. Why, if you do that I'll bet you'd keep coming back. It's really exciting, you know. If I get on the team that'll be three Czechs out of five. Wouldn't you like to see the Czechs making good in America?"

Mr. Vopieka laughed long and loud.

"Make good, is it? So that's the way to win your way, I suppose. We used to think when we came here — it was misguided, of course — that work had something to do with it. Good hard work. Now I learn from my own son that you can do it by playing. If I had only known that I could have played my way into owning this house, and maybe having some money in the bank."

"Now Karel, don't make fun of the

Strana 22 boy" said a mild voice in the doorway.

"He dues well in his lessons too."

"I know he does, Milada," replied Mr. VopiC,'ka, "but he hasn't learned how to work Yet. How can he expect to make his way when he knows nothing about earning a living? When I was his age, I could mend any machine in the village."

"Arid don't forget that you came here so that you could do more than that; so you could save up enough to live well and maybe make it easier for our boys than it was for you. The young people here don't go to work so early. But most of them live longer," said the mother.

"That's right, Morn. Don't you think you could get Dad to come ever with you to a game if I get on the team? I know I can do it. And some day I'll show that I can do other things too."

The parents laughed indulgently.

"Well, run along, Joe," said his father.

"Only I think you ought to go to Sokol, too. That's the only tie we have left now with the old country and you know how much we love it."

"Well, I thought ..." Joe did not finish his remark. Instead, he grabbed his cap and ran out into the night.

The story, as given, represents only cne rather simplified type of cultural conflict, Here both the father and the son speak the same language. But supposing the father is fluent in Czech and limited in English, while the mastery of the language is in reverse order with the son â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doesn't the limitation of expression complicate the matter?

Stand and be Counted Come April Fool's Day, 1950, doorbells all over America will start ringing. The startled householder will be met with a barrage of questions: "How old are you?" "How many in the family?"

"What race?" "How many are working?"

"What kind of work and what salary?"

The first urge probably will be to tell the questioner to mind his own business and slam the door in his face. But you'd better restrain that urge — otherwise you might be faced with a 60-clay jail sentence and a $500 fine. No April Fool pranksters, these bell ringers will be members of a 150,000-strong army of enumerators, engaged in the very serious business of taking the U. S. census.

The biggest quiz in history, this decade's census will cost $575,000,000, almost twice as much as the 1940 nose count-

Strana 23 ing. Over 40,000,000 families will be Visited, some 60,000,000 farms and about 3,000,000 business establishments and industries. The average person will be asked about his age, sex, race, education, occupation, earnings, health and so on. Farmers will be asked about crops, prices and related matters. Business and industry will be questioned about production, sales, employment, wage, costs and markets.

All in all, it is estimated that the government will learn some 6,000,000,000 facts about America and AmeriGans during the month of April. These facts will then be sorted, organized and interpreted, a job which will take Crack statisticians of the Census Bureau about 3 years.

When this mountain of facts is finally digested and tabulated, it will fill about 100 books, or some 150,000 pages of fine print.

This year's mammoth job of fact finding is a far cry from the country's first census, which was taken in 1790 during Thomas Jefferson's administration. At that time 17 U. S. marshals and 600 assistants were enough to tabulate the less than 4,000,000 inhabitants of the Republic. Lists of the questions were tacked ,.up on tavern doors for those people. who might have been missed by 'official quizzers.

The last census required about a year and a half's preparation. In order to reduce the huge task to workable proportions, the country has been divided into about 14 regions covering 1,000 districts, each of which contains about 150,000 people. Several test questionnaires were drawn up and used in actual rehearsals in order to determine the most efficient method of gathering the facts as well as the most effective questions.

Despite these preparations; the 150,000 enumerators—census takers — will have no easy job. They will visit flophouses, jails, nudist camps, swank hotels, brothels, mining camps and isolated lighthouses as well as homes and farms. In the 30 days of census taking it will be their task to get all of the required information about the estimated 150,000,000 people in this country.

A census quizzer is paid on a piecework basis — 4 cents per name — and may earn about $200 for the month's labor if he can move and talk quickly enough. This sometimes puts an undue strain cn the honesty of an enumerator.

One man tried to boost his earnings by visiting a cemetery and taking the names off tombstones. Another, in an Eastern state, created imaginary families, complete with children and grand-

Strand 24 Children. Fortunately such lapses are few, being discouraged by stiff fines and jail sentences.

Each enumerator, before receiving his district map and portfolio of questionnaires, takes a formal oath that he will bring in the facts honestly and speedily, and most important, that be will maintain strict secrecy about the information he gathers.

The data collected by the census takers is as closely guarded as vital information. It may be used for one purpose only: the compilation of the census. No unauthorized person, not even the President himself, may see a return.

The reason for this is obvious. If the information were not protected, many people would be wary of telling the truth, and the accuracy of the census would suffer as a result.

Getting the facts isn't always Deasy.

A man who has falsified his income tax return might be unwilling to reveal his actual earnings. The most common problem of all is that of getting a woman to tell her age. Cunning quizzers use all sorts of tricks to bring forth honest answers.

One, for e example, found that he could startle a woman into revealing her age by making a guess, adding 5 or 10 years, and saying, "Let me see, you're about 43 years old." More often than not the indignant woman thereupon blurts out her real age.

Census taking is anything but dull.

Knocking on a door, a male enumarator heard a female voice tell him to come in. The voice, coming from an inner room, then asked what he wanted, and after he explained who he was, the woman told him to come and scrub her back. She was in the bathtub, and insisted that she had read that census takers were supposed to be "courteous and obliging."

Then there was the case of the inexperienced enumerator whose territory was in the Tennessee hill country. After making his way through the backwoods he came upon a grizzled mountaineer.

"I represent the Federal Government . . " the quiZzer started to say and promptly found himself staring into a rifle barrel. He made a hasty get-away and was replaced by a census taker better acquainted with the peculiar prejudices of moonshiners.

Census takers have had to invade hobo "jungles," wade through swamps, cross flooded rivers, travel by dog sled, climb mountains, descend into subterranean caverns. One enumerator had to row across a savagely dangerous body of water studded with deadly rocks in

order to reach on i-,cilatorl iabnd where one person lived.

At the end of each census day, the enumerator mails his finished questionnaires to his district supervisor. These are collected, packed into wooden crates and sent to Washington by registered mail. When they reach their proper department in the Census Bureau, they are coded and the information punched onto cards -- one card for each person in the country. These 'cards are then fed into a battery of tabulating machines at the rate of over 400 cards a minute. The assembled data issuing from these machines then goes to the statisticians w,ho have the long and complicated job of analyzing and charting the mountains of facts.

When the 1950 census is completed and the results made available to the public, we will have a mass of vital information of monumental importance to businessmen, political leaders, farmers, educators, social scientists and .government officials. We will know how many people have refrigerators, the size of the potential market for television sets, how many babies have been born and how many diapers might be manufactured for them. Population shifts will be revealed, we will know where new housing is needed, where hospitals and schools must be built, where water supply and transportation must be increased.

When all the complicated pieces of the census jigsaw are put together we will have a detailed picture of Our country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its potentialities, its human and material resources, its productive ability, its needs and its trends.

Some advance estimates of what the 1950 census will reveal were made recently by Mr. J. C. Capt, director of the Bureau of Census.

Because of the wartime baby boom and advances in medical knowledge, the numbers of children and people over 65 will have increased substantially. A decline in farm population will be shown, as well as a corresponding rise in urban population. Since 1940, the national population will have increased by 15,000,000, bringing the total to about 150,000,000 persons. A westward shift in population will also be shown, with California rising to third place among the states and becoming entitled to about '7 additional representatives in Congress.

Important though these advance estimates undoubtedly are, they will certainly be overshadowed by a statistic which will bring joy to men and tears of chagrin to women. For the first time in our country's history, women will outnumber men.

The House That Just Grew.

Thirteen-year old reader of the Vestnik, Miss Frances Henderson living in Cupertino, California, mentioned in her recent letter that she and her relatives visited the Winchester Mystery House.

Miss Henderson reported that the house has over one hundred rooms, all very beautiful, with many rooms left unfinished.

In 1945, when your associate editor flew to the Pacific coast with the late Brother August Morris, he had a chance to get the history of' the Winchester Mystery House near San Jose, California. He can, therefore, add a note of explanation to what our young reader, Frances Henderson, wrote in the issue of February 22.

To divert her mind from her grief over the loss of her husband, Mrs. William Wert Winchester, young widow of the head of Winchester Arms, was advised by her physician to build herself a house without employing an architect.

Hiring workmen only by the day, she started building near San Jose, California, and continued without intermission for 36 years until, at her death in 1922, the house rambled over acres of ground and had cost around $5,000,000; many of the workmen who had hoped for two weeks' work when they started didn't lose a day in 20 years, and made enough to retire on.

The house is a jumble of 160 rooms, few of them on the same floor; and there are five different heating systems. One stairway has 42 steps two inches high, seven turns, and takes you up only ten feet. In Mrs. Winchester's bedroom, a door hides myriads of gongs, push buttons, wires and signals, all so mixed up that no one knows what' they were used for or where they lead.

There are 47 fireplaces, many of them blank; and 13 bathrooms with glass doors. One bath has two heating units and no other fixtures. Another room has four fireplaces and five hot-air radiators; some of the doors have golden hinges. As the house grew, its bewildering maze of rooms, passages and blind stairways made it almost impossible for the servants to find their way about; and a housekeeper who had been there 18 years confessed that even she had never been over the whole house.

Lodge Pokrok No. 8, Houston In just a few days the Hlahol Dramatic Club of Lodge Pokrok No. 88 will present "Calm Yourself" a hilarious comedy. You'll really have to "Calm Yourself" after sitting thru three acts of this screamingly funny play. We have a very good cast: Charles Cerny plays the part of Fred Smithie, a man with a perpetual grouch and many ailments; I play the part of Fannie Smithie, his wife, who is giddy and always in a flutter over something; Rudy Sefcik plays the part of Harold Ainsworth, a world famous interior decorator, who causes all the commotion in the Smithie household; Rose Anton plays the part of Barbara Hanson, three times a grass-widow and looking for a fourth chance. Helen Fusig plays the part of Lucy, the Smithie's daughter, who is very much in love; Naomi Kostome plays the part of Mrs. Wonder, a social climber. She has brought her husband under control and is determined to keep him there. George Perry plays the part of George Wonder, her husband who has never called his soul his own — and would not know he had a soul unless his wife said he could have one. Has long Since given up hope of getting a single word into the conversation,. so he makes up for it by smiling at everyone and everything.

He has not a single lino to speak in the entire play until the very end — and he almost loses the chance to say that one. Hal Machat plays the part of Jack Bird, a young man about to elope with Lucy; Ernest Hanka plays the part of Hank Webster, a crude limb of the law who is on a manhunt, but is not sure just who the man is. Mickey Gregg plays the part of Evans, the Smithies maid. We will present this play on Saturday night Mar. 18th at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday Mar. 19th at 4 p.m.

Mrs. Hanus has informed me that supper will be served both nights — Saturday night starting at 6:30, so the people would have plenty of time to eat before the play starts, and Sunday right after the play. So tell your friends about it and everyone try and come out — you won't be disappointed.

House Committee reported, that several major improvements will be muring the Lent season, such as painting the roof, graveling and grading the at park, polishing the maple flo pr the hall, and a few other improvements and repairs.

Bro. Ernest Janek, a young war veteran, left us forever. Our sympathy goes out to his young widow and child, as also to his mother and brother and sisters.

Ludwik Gerick became a new member of our Lodge and we have already two applications for our next meeting.

As usual after the meeting, we had our refreshments and all kinds of fun.

Different games were played, each to his or her like.

Thursday night is "Club Nite" and that is the night of real fun; when every domino or "taroky" game is dissected like, in a laboratory room. Bro. Milberger: "I told you so." Bro. Tom Hlavenka; "It's a pity to have had to play that rock." Bro. John Sulak.

You ought to have played — " Bro. Paul Skrabanek doesn't say much, but frowns and shake his head, like if you wanted a $1000.00 loan at his bank. Bro. F. F. Lednicky. "I can't understand how you played your hand." And so on and so on.

With kind regard to all, Fraternally, Hugo Freund (Editor's Note:—It is safer not to touch it, Brother Hugo. Some of us, in spite of our bragging about broadmindedness, possess a narrow vision.

Every educated person should know, for instance, something about Marx and Engels. Charles Walgreen, the Owner of all Walgreen Drug Stores, filed charges against the University of Chicago for discussing Marx in the classes of the University. If such things happen on the higher level of learning, you cannot blame an average citizen for having certain dislikes. Besides, there is abundance of other material more fitting within the framework of fraternalism. Your own reports are very good examples. Keep going as you do.

Many thanks for your splendid cooperation.)
