VODIKOVA BOMBA ERLiNSKt fysik Robert Haveman uvetejnil v nemeckem easopise elanek o vodikove bombe, v nem2 se v podstate uvadi, 2e synthese (sloueeni vodiku na helium dala by se nejsna.dneji uskuteenit s pomoci ureitYch hydridti, sloueenim vodiku s kovy. UreiV druh techto hydridt mohl by bYt zdrojem vodiku, pottebneho k reakci. K tomu je tteba vysvetleni, aby i neodbornik teto ot awe porozumel Mame se opravnene domnivat, 2e slueovani vodiku na helium se odehrava v nitru Slunce a je zdrojem obrovske energie, kterou , vytazuje. Jestlit'e se etyti jadra vodikovYch atoma neboli protony, gtouei na jedno jadro seliove neboli helion, tu nastava ureita, ztrata hmoty, nebot' etyti protony va21 o new mak) vice nc! " jeden helion. Ztracena hmota se objevi jako energie, ktera je pomerne obrovska. Jevgak pouhou jednou sedminou energie, ktera se uvolfruje roz gtepenim uranoveho jadra. lketezova reakce v uranu znamena, 2e jeden atom se "zapaluje" od druheho tak, jako hoti kus uhli. Misto hoteni si musime piedstavovat Stepeni atomil: ttisky z jednoho roz gtepeneho atomu zasahnou sousedni atomova jadra, jejich ttisky zase dal gi a dalgi jadra, a tak gtepeni atomfr se rozvine v ketezovou reakci, ktera mute mit raz vYbuchu.

Jak to zatidit, aby se tetezova, reakce Sitila ye vodiku tak, aby se protony (vodikova jadra), slueovaly na jadra heliova?

MrIZeme se domnivat, ze za Vysoke teploty a za pititomnosti ureitYch jinYch atomu, mono tici "katalysatorfr", dalo by se slueovani vodiku na helium uskuteenit.

Ztejme v nitru Slunce je dostateene vysoka teplota a vyskytuji se take mnohe jihe prvky, ktere by mohly ph reakci prigobit jako latky, ureite stupne reakce podmittujici, bez nich2 celkovy vysledek by se nodal uskuteenit.

Co je triton? Je to druh neboli isotop vodiku, ktery je ttikrat te2 gi vodiku obyeejneho. To si musime vysvetlit po eastech: dvakrat tagi druh vodiku se naFanuSka Makkova: ViRA LASKY.

Jadro takeho vodiku se nazYva deuterou a je to jeden proton a jeden.neutron, sloueeniny dohromady. Neutron je eastice zhruba stejne hmoty jako proton. Jestli k deutronu piibude je gte jeden neutron, tu vzniknul triton, neboli , jadro supertakeho vodiku. Tento nejta gi druh vodiku nazYvame tritium. Triton se tedy sklada ze til soueastek, a kdyby se k nemu podatilo jegte piipojit jeden proton, vznikl by helion, jadro atomu helia.

Kus slavne historic v dobach buditelskYch, pohadkove kouzlo, loutky, ktere robouzely v nejzapadlej gich vesnicich zajem o desire dejiny, o boj za svobodu — to vg echno je spojeno s jmenem ptikladneho vlastence Mateje Kopeckeho, principala. dtevenYch herd', ktery se zapsal nesmazateIne do dejin eeskeho divadla.

V dem spoeiva yYznam Mateje Kopeckeho? V ObjeVitelstvi utajenYch motnosti, ktere v Sobe skrYvaji loutky.

po strance ohchodni i prirmyslove, pfece si jeate zachovava, razne tradice prvnich francouzskYch a apanelskYch osadnikfi.

Tato evropska kultura neprojevuje se snad nikdy markantneji neZli pH nabo2enskych oslavach a kaldorodni slavnosti Mardi-Gras pied zapoeetim ptistu.

Karneval odbYva se v hlavnim meste Lousiany, v New Orleans, a jeho poeatky datuji se z prvnich desitileti minuleho stoleti. Mesto se na tuto oslavu ptiprarruje po celY rok, a neaetti Usilim a nalcladem, aby udinilo z karnevalu osla.vu vpravde okazalou a pametihodnou. Hlavni °slave na ina.sopustni Uterek ptedchazi celY den radovanek, zadinajicich nodnim priivodem. Nadherne ozdobene vozy pohybuji se zvolna po hlavni, nejairai ulici — Canal Street — vyjadtujice svou frpravou ruzne namely. Oslavy vyvrcholuji na masopustni fiterek "prfivodem krale", kterY toho dne panuje nad karnevalem. Vetaina obyvatelft radovankam V maaarnich kostymech a v maskacli, Itere je nutno sejmouti pti zapadu slunce. Nasledujiciho dne, na popeleeni sttedu, zaeind pest is od • ikanim a s modlitbami.

Obyvatele Louisiany zachovavaji i jine starosvetstke tradice, jako na ptiklad zdobeni hrob y na Den vaech svatYch, 1. listopadu. Cirri tak jak katolici, tak i protestanti. Mestske fdadovny, banky a eetne obchody jsou toho dne aspori po nelcolik hodin zavteny, aby jejich zamestnanci men eas zajiti na htlaitov a ozdobiti hroby svich drahYch kvetinami. V ptedveder zniineneho dne, tedy 31. tijna, slavi se "Halloween", kdy cele rodiny ubirali se na htbitov, aby tam upravily hroby pro zittejai kvetinovou y Yzdobu, pre ktere se z y laatni oblibe teai chrysanthemy. Kolem poledne hemZi se ne‘vorleanske htlaitovy lidmi, z nich2 mnozi nelenuji si projiti nekolik htbitovir a prohlednouti si jejich yYzdobu.

JinY den, kterY siavi v New Orleans hlavne katolici italskeho pfrvodu, je 19. btezen, svateho Josefa. S oslavou tohoto dne zapoealo se pied davnYm easem na Sicilii. y e SpojenYch statech neni nikde siaven v vetaim nadaenim neZli prave v New Orleans, kde Americana italskeho pevodu pini hned po ranu kostely, chodi na obhlidku honosne upravenych oltaffi ke cti sv. Josefa po domech s y Ych znamYch, a veeer oslavuji tancem a radovankami. Vaechny zabavy konei vaak ptesne o puinoci, aby se bylo moZno vratiti k pokradovani v postu a v odtikani.

Spoje, poutajici Louisianu ke Staremu Svetu, jsou patrny i z jinYch naznakti.

Take pani 8ebestova nekde od Rosenberg to krasne podala, jakoZ i Fr. Hubenak od El Campo, i Vinca Hajzler z okresu Burleson a mnoho jinYch, i ten na g statieek Bartok ten to dovede nejlepe. Vgichni jste to popsali krasne a pigte dale, take Ty Frantiku Domorade neustavej a popisuj strasti rolnicke.

Program byl zahajen starostou 'sokola br. Vrlou, kterY v kratkem proslovu vital hrstku vernYch a dobrYch zUdastnivgich se oslavy. Po jell() hezkYch avodnich. slovech Zazpivala .sokolska ospoin s krojoYanYini sestrami,

Jeho velmi hez7 IcY a potleskem pteru govanY proslov byl zakoneen veeerkou (tap).

Jevig te bylo velmi hezky upraveno a ,;i1/3"/ obraz sestaven a risen br. Hogkem.

Nakonec mono rici, ze program vyznel velmi hezky a vgichni deastnici bez rozdilu podali velmi hezky vYkon. Jenom nas, nas, kteti se snaZime bYti dobrYmi vlastenci, velice zamrzela maid, nav gteva a nezdjem girokeho obecenstva na ()slave na:geho nejvetgiho buditele a osvoboditele, presidenta T. G. Masaryka. Verime, maid, navgteva byla z velike easti zavinena neptiznivYm pooasim, avgak presto musime konstantovat jedno! Masaryk sve pradi o nas a na g narod nikdy nedbal Zadne prekaZky, daval v ganc svuj Zivot svoje rodinne gtesti a byl vZdy pripraven obetovat v ge pro svaj narod. My mame ten dojem, ze pfekaZka, jako jest gpatne poeasi by nebyla nikdy zarazila jeho pra.ci a myslime, Ze by ani dues nemela bYti Zadnou pfekallou pro nikoho z nas, at' bai jiz o jakoukoliv osvetovou nebo jinon narodni uddlost.

V kaZdem pripade, dekujeme tim vice to hrstce na gich dobrYch Cechu, kteil se It °slave dostavili i pres nepriznive poeasi, za jejich ireast a porozumeni, kterYm dokazali, ze na g narod me zde ve svobodne Americe a v jeho svobodnYch obeanech eeskeho ptivodu sice malt', ale palmy zaklad, na kterem bude rnoZno °pet v br, ku nag narod postaviti na svobodne nohy.

Vg ichni vime, ze hlavni cii Masarykovy prate spodival v osvObozeni na geho naroda v prvni fade a drZeni jeho svobody v druhe. Oboji se mu za dobu jeho Zivota podafilo zasluhou jeho neimavne a poet iy e prate. Je nyni na nas, abychom my j eho osvedeenYm zpasobem pracovali pro udrZeni nagi svobody.

Preparing to Grow

Fidelity Life Asoociation 32; just t mention the few coming to my . mind.

These Fraternal Insurance Counselors, like their counterpart Certified Life Underwriters (CLU), are to the insurance profession what the certified public accountants (CPA) are to the accounting business. These Fraternal Insurance Counselors must be qualified for the fraternal type Of selling and thoroughly trained in order to render the highest grade of service. They must know every type of life insurance, and to be prepared to meet everyone's needs and everyone's pocketbook. They must know how to instruct others, how to organize junior divisions, how to double and treble•the output in inactive, dormant lodges, and how to secure new members to earn their salaries, meet their expenses and still make it profitable for the fraternal organization.

They are the trained men who look after the increased activities of the local lodges and the steady growth of the fraternal membership. They are the field managers or the state organizers.

Fraternalism as practiced by the local lodges is not a thing of the past. The lodge system is one of the greatest assets of the Nation. But when it comes to the life insurance, it is a business on the co-operative prinCiple, a business of mutual helpfulness, which must be studied the same as any other business.

Contrary to an often expressed opinion, people do like lodge work, do like to get together, do like to take part in or witness ritualistic work—if not too anti.L. quated, y id-fashioned, musty—and they do enjoy the small part which they play in the social and benevolent work of the lodge.

There is a vast difference between talking to organizers and actually teaching them in the field in front of the prospect. Knowledge cf insurance, awareness of ideal sales methods, and willingness to work is not enough.

There must be constant 'inspirational, forceful, and tactful field management to help the organizers over the rough spots. is the answer. ) 4, • (

A good many years ago, in one of our large cities, two brothers formed an accounting firm to do bookkeeping and general accounting work.

One brother decided that there was a real future for a man who prepared himself to do a better job than the average bookkeeper. This brother studied and became a certified public accountant, and worked to promote the activities of the certified public accountants which in those days were not Sn well known as they are today.

The other brother did not see much future in bookkeeping. He drifted along for a while, applied himself only here and there when opportunity seemed to bump into him, finally changed over and started a laundry business. It looked far more promising than bookkeeping.

A few months back there was a report of the death of the brother who improved in his bookkeeping and became a CPA. He was reported as one of the outstanding men in this country in the accounting work. His firm which he organized is probably the largest accounting concern in the United States. His estate, according to the newspaper account, ran into the millions.

Theie is quite a parallel between a bookkeeper and an insurance solicitor, such as any of our local organizers. By intensive study, a bookkeeper can bec Gme a certified public accountant.

Likewise, by persistent study and constant preparation, an insurance salesman can become a certified life underwriter, a CLU comparable to CPA in accounting. Or if the insurance salesman is connected with a fraternal organization and studies the fraternal branch of insurance, he may receive the full designation as Fraternal Insurance Counselor or F.I.C. If he qualifies almost completely but still lacks the required amount of experience, a fraternal solicitor may get the recognition as Associate Fraternal Insurance Counselor (A.F.I.C.).

At the present time there are slightly over 1.000 Fraternal Insurance Counselors in the United States. woodmen Other investments ask a dollar and of the World has 277 of them; Lutheran promise three cents. The SPJST asks Brotherhood 203; Modern Woodmen 62; three cents and actually pays a dollar.

Our Junior Members Everyone repeats that oar children are the best source of new membership for our SPJST lodges. That reminds me of Mark Twain when he remarked that everybody talks about mile woodier but nobody does anything about chang ing it.

Regarding our juvenile members, could be improved frOm talking to action. When we would only stop 'for a moment and consider what cur juvenile members mean to the SPJST, we- could do plenty. Every month, hundreds of our boys and girls reach the age when they could step right into the adult class. These boys and girls .mean new blood, new life and new ideas, if we get them. If we get them. Do we?

If we paid more attention to the children, we would get them.

Children are just as sociable beings as the adults are. Even more so, because they always have swell time when they have plenty of playmates.

How many of our lodges have regular children programs? How many have arranged to have an Easter program, Easter egg-hunt, rabbit catching, or just a jolly Easter party? If you didn't think about some Easter entertainment, you still can make it. That kind of program does not require much preparation. It calls for only one thing ingness.

How about a contest for the May Queen? Have you tried it in your lodge?

It works, it gives plenty of thrill even to the stiff-jointed oldsters, that is, after it gets started—but somebody has got to start it, somebody must start the idea moving.

The trouble is that the great majority of our adult members consider the local SPJST lodge only a place for the old members. We are so absorbed with the affairs cf the lodge that we neglect to see any connection between the lodge and our own children.

It is the highest time for all of us to put on a big juvenile drive,. or perhaps one drive after another, until we get used to the idea that it is the youth that has been missing from our lodge activities.

The student should consult the latest catalogs of various colleges he would prefer to attend. Catalogs are usually available in' the high-school or public library, or the student may write to the college registrar for a catalog. Most college and university catalogs contain sections listing scholarships and loan funds, with the requisite qualifications for each and complete application details.

Usually applications must be submitted early in the spring of the same year the student expects to graduate from high school. He should start exploring the possibilities of a scholarship at the beginning of hiss senior year.

Business and industry are constantly doing more to provide educational op portunities for boys and girls, especially if they have abilities within the organization's field.

Westinghouse Electric Company, for number of years, has conducted an annual "science-talent search." Each year one boy and one girl win awards of $2,400 each; 8 receive $400 each; and 30 receive $100 each. General Electric for year has given aid to young people hiterested in the field of science.

The Radio Corporation of America has been increasing its scholarships each year and this year will give 60 awards of $600 each.

Even if your son dy daughter were to win such an award, there still would be many expenses to meet.

A 1948 survey of both men and women scholarship winners, enrolled at private and state universities scattered throughout the country, provided the following figures on estimated expenditures per year: $ 50 to $6'4'.5 Tuition & Fees 450 to 600 Room & Board 45 to 75 Books & Supplies 50 to 150 Clothes 20 to 210 Travel 40 to 150 Social Because the student who might pay the least for room and board might also pay the most for all other expenses, the average total per year was about $1,500.

The same survey of scholarship winners indicated 95 per cent did some type of vacation work, and over 60 per cent did both vacation and part-time work during the school year.

Boiling all this down to one statement, it means that the one-thousand dollar certificate which your son or your daughter has with the SPJST will not be enough to give him or her a sufficient start in a college. Think this over Additional endowment certificates which help you spread the saving plans over a period of years is the right step.

Think it over and talk it over. Then see the local organizer. Discuss it with him. Let him give you exact cost of additional saving plan. Your child deserves it. And don't postpone. The sooner you start, the lighter the monthly payment will be.

Well, it is your children and your problems. This is only a brotherly hint, which you don't have to take. ) • 4 •

Welcome, Every New Reporter .

Hcre is an additional proof that our fficial paper is being accepted in ever widening circle. This week came another letter, also from Williamson County, written by a young lady, a member of Lodge Kornensky No, 20.

Ordinarily, your associate editor would chnsider a notation attached to a news item to be an explanation of personal ature, and, ordinarily, he would treat such. But since we have been tryin to create additional interest among the younger members of the SPJST, every new contributor is a sign that live gradually getting better acquainted, that we are beginning to realize that the SPJST is really a big organization, and that the SPJST members are found in n [most every occupation and position.

Consequently, when a letter—like the nillowing one—reaches your editor, he is not another human being and he has show his gladness in finding t, ddi1 Its1 co-operation. To him, it is just nether proof that the younger members are capable, far more capable, to stet; in whenever the right kind of invitation is extended to them.

Dear Sir: As my husband, my young son and I are SPJST members of Komensky Lodge No. 20, Granger, we receive Vestnik and have been reading the articles relative to Masaryk.

I am enclosing a news story which I hope you can use in one of the forthcoming issues of the Vestnik.

I am emplOyed by the University in the Department • of Public Relations, and felt that Southwestern's observance warranted a story in your splendid section of the paper.

Yours, fraternally, (Mrs.') Wilma Huser Lindsay Mrs. Lindsay's report is published elsewhere in this issue. We appreciate her interest, and we are glad to learn that the oldest university in Texas thinks well enough of our little fraternal publication to honor us with a report from its Department of Public Relations.

Of course, Mrs. Lindsay's father, Brother J. H. Huser, cf Granger should not be entirely overlooked as a possible factor in making his children interested in the Vestnik even before we had the English Section. He himself always favored to give the younger members a chance to express themselves. He knows, as many of us know, that we are now traveling in the right direction.

We extend cur sincere welcome to Mrs. Lindsay for any item of news that she in future may have for the readers of the yestnik from the first and the oldest university in Texas, the Southwestern University.

•T• (

One More Call Your associate ' editor often thinks that it would be more profitable for the SPJST if the Vestnik brought more meat for the solicitors. Every week there are thousands and thousands pages printed discussing the ideas of selling life insurance. All that is needed is to request articles like the one that follows, written by a life insurance salesman— life underwriter, as he prefers to be called.

It was one of those days that crop up occasionally in an underwriter's life. I had made four or five calls with no success — not even the promise of a future sale. It was late in the day, and I was tired. I wanted to make a sale, but it seemed to be cut of the .question right then.

On my way home I drove by the court house, and just as I passed in front of the building, thought of the one pi' Os-

peet that I hadn't called on. I decided that things couldn't get much worse that late in the day, so I went in to see this prospect.

She was a •court recorder for the district court of the state. I had spoken to her before, although not long enough to give me a chance to ap praise the possibility of making a sale. I did know that she was 25 years of age, single and without dependents.

I figured that the best thing for a girl of her apparent circumstances would be retirement income at 60. I decided the best I could hope to sell was a $3,000 policy, and I expected her to pay for it on a quarterly basis, which would have made her annual premium $150.76.

She was just finishing her day's work, and so I gave her an idea of what I had in mind for her to buY. After pc lug through the plan step-by-step, she said: "I think it's a fine idea, but ycur plan isn't good enough because there is not enough money involved."

That stopped me. Of all the objections I might have expected, that was the last I ever thought to hear en this case. After the initial Shock, I said, "How much do you think you could save each month?"

Then came the second shock. She said, "Oh, I guess I could save about $500 a year."

I was about ready to throw in the tcwel. I managed to ask her what her approximate annual income was. Once again I was caught off guard.

"Well," she said, "it must be around $8,000."

She could probably tell by the expression on my face that the whole thing was a little hard to believe. `You see," she said, "in, addition to my job, I also take dictation and act as secretary to several attorneys here in the court house."

It was time for me to do some thinking before I made any more proposals.

I asked her if I could see her about the matter that evening, but she told me she had an engagement. I told her I'd stop back the next morning, and withdrew as gracefully as I could.

I went back to the office and discussed the matter with Bill McGrath, the Manager of the Agency, and talked it over with several other m t is writers. The consensus seemed to be in favor of either a 10-pay life or a 15year endowment.

When I called on her the next morning, I followed the lines suggested by their reasoning. She favored the 10pay life idea, and we made out an application I. r a $10,000 policy.

The magazine, TEXAS PATLADE seeks to interpret Texas; not only to the thousands of interested readers of other states and nations, but to , xa,ns themselves. —A. E.) You won't find Crush, Texas, on any map or in the U. S. Postal Guide. But in Southwest, where boom towns are as common as horned toads, Crush has s pecial place in history. was born on a September dawn in 1896 when a special train began disgorging its passengers at a new siding in a cow pasture not far from Waco. By noon, it was a bustling city of 30,000, with a dozen lemonade emporiums, a smattering of other business and a jail.

By nightfall, it was silent and deserted— a ghost town on the Texas prairie.

Unlike many another boom town.

Crush had neither oil nor precious metal to- lure the adventurous and keep them.

It . was born, became a city, and then disappeared in a single day because of train wreck—the first and only one of its kind in railroad history.

The Wreck was planned as an advertising stunt by W. G. Crush, youthful general passenger agent for the Katy Railroad. He got the idea one day in the Nineties' while en route from New York eo 3t. Louis.

On that day, the locomotive boiler exploded, wrecking the train at a desolate Spot. Although there was no town nearby and communications and travel were slow, hundreds of the curious were on the scene within an hour. Before the battered locomotive could be righted and the train sent on its way, at least a thousand people had gathered.

Thus was born Crush's great idea.

"If this many people will come to a wreck after it has happened," he asked himself, "what wouldn't they do to see railroad collision that had been deliberdlely planned?"

Loth the Katy and the Southwest were ung then and the railroad was doing iiything it could. to attract people to 110 lusty giant that was Texas. Crush tmcw his idea would bring visitors from eeeryv,there and help to bolster his line's • .i.iging passer' r revenues.

Vt ST N- I K• ,— WEST, TEXAS ballyhoo. The site selected was a wide valley between Waco and Hillsboro not far from the McLennan County town of West. There, in a natural amphitheater Where 50,000 could watch the proceedings in comfort, CruSh leased a mile-square stretch of land.

Posters and full-page advertisements in newspapers invited one and all to the spectacle. At once, Crush's dream caught the fancy' of the thrill-loving folk of the Gay Nineties.

Newspaper editors, quick to sense a good story, made the most of it. They delighted their readers for weeks with stories of how 500 men had been rushed to the new tqwn of Crush to build a siding; how a gigantic tent restaurant was being erected to • serve the masses; and of how eight tank cars, connected with an eighth of a mile of pipe and 100 spigots would provide free water for all. In addition, there was to be a midway, a dozen lemonade stands, medicine shows and fiddle bands.

Only casual mention was made of a wooden calaboose which also was under construction, or of the 200 McLennan County huskies who were given special commissions as deputies to keep the expected crowds lawful and orderly.

At the Katy's big Denison shops, Engines No. 999 and 1001 were prepared for their greatest and last rcle. Under the personal supervision of C. T. McElvaney, no mean showman himself, the engines were given a paint job that made them look like something out of a surrealist's nightmare. One • emerged in pea green, topped by a cab as red as a prairie fire; the other was vermillion with a green cab. Trimmings on both used every color in a rainbow.

Six days before the great wreck, No. 1001 steamed out of the shop to tour the Katy system. She looked, according to a newspaper story, "like a bride arrayed for the wedding." And like a bride, she ended her tour by meeting No. 999 at Crush for two clays of rehearsals before the big event.

While Katy officials stood by - with stop watches in hand, the two locomotives were carefully run over the course that was to send them both to oblivion.

The timing had to be exact and the collision point known in advance. Otherwise, the wreck might occur at a , point where the crowd was not congregated —and Crush was not one to disappoint the customers.

When the day of the collision dawned, hundreds were already on the ground.

By 10 a. m., 10,000 were on hand and special trains from as far away as Parson, Kans., were arriving at the rate of one every twelve minutes. By the time the thirteenth special. pulled into

Strana 23 Cf1.1.611, 30,000. persons awaited the big show.

It was. 4:10 p. in., when the two engines, like boxers about to mid it up, met at the collission -point to 11:1/210 cow-catchers in doubtful greetings. They started backing up to the top of the opposite hills to get steam up for their last run.

The starting points w e two miles apart—far enough to enable the engineers to get the locomotiYes rolling at maximum speed. Behind each engine were six cars loaded with heavy timbers as added impetus. And :hist in ease a thousands tons of hurtling steel and timbers failed to create enough din, Crush placed 1,000 torpedoes along the track.

At 5:10 p. m., a telegraph operator the contact point flashed the letters "GO" to operators stationed at the starting 'points. The engineers eased their throttles forward, tied down their whistles and leaped.

A crash, a sound of timbers torn and rent were followed by a Shower of wood particles. The crowd was spellbound, awed and ominously silent. Then, inct as a handful of the bravest started to push forward, the boilers exploded.

"The air was filled with flying' missiles from the size of a postage stamp to hall a drive wheel falling indiScrithinately on the just and unjust, the rich and poor, great and small," said a newspaper account of the moment.

A pair of heavy trucks weiglline; a ton rolled over telegraph posts and wire for more than 300 yards. More Than 10U yards away, flying bolts strafed the pros stand. One of the big, diamond-shaped smokestacks sailed through the air for a quarter of a mile, barely missing the packed mass of humanity.

The Katy considered thc st:eetacle worth the effort. The excursion trains had poured thousands .Of needed dollars into the railroad's coffers. Best of all, the nation-wide publicity had focused the eyes of the country on Texas.

The Polish American One of die fundamental principles of nearly all fraternal societies in the United States is to work for national unity. America is really, as Walt Whit-, loan termed it a "nation of nations.'

Occasionally, American provincialism is likely to exaggerate the gap between a group speaking English and another group using some other tongue.

It is the purpose of many fraternal societies to remove the tendency of some people to form separate and distinct groups. The less enlightened the people are, the more clannish they tend to be. A narrow-minded person thinks of himself as being. a part of an in-group or we-group. "We" belong; "outsiders" do not. "Our" ways of doing things are right; the others act funny. A "foreigner" is anybody who does net speak "our" language, Your associate editor remembers when a lodge program started with the singing of "I(de domov muj." The audience rose, and so r did the speakers and the guests who did not know a Word of Czech. One of them afterwards remarked about the tolerance of the Americans permitting any kind of song to be given the same respect as the "Star Spangled Banner." He used the word "tolerance," not "freedom," thus implying, "We let you do as you please but we could stop you if you got too funny, un-AmeriCan." It is not "tolerance" which should be piacticed. It is something much more fundamental which should be constantly stressed in all 'fraternal societies. It is mutual understanding of individual differences, understanding of diverse cultural background, different schooling and training.

Maybe, you can understand my point better by giving yOu another story of a father and a son, under one roof, yet living miles apart, a story which was written by the son many years later; The son called himself an American, but his father wanted to be called a "Polish American."

Jan sat by the kitchen stove reading THE ROVER BOYS. Behind him his Mother bent over the table, spoon in hand, tasting the soup she was preparing fsr the Foleslawskis' supper. Getting warmer and warmer by the fire, Jan wriggled his toes luxuriously as he followed hair-raising exploits with increasing satisfaction. Suddenly the door slammed and Jan made a swift move as if to hide the book, but it was too late.

His father's shadow darkened the doorway of the kitchen and a bass voice boomed, "What kind of trash do you have there now?" Reluctantly Jan

Who's Who at the University of Houston

The first vice-president of the Czech Club of the University of Houston is Kent M. Moritz. He is very interested in the Slavonic languages particularly Czech and Russian.

Mr. Moritz is now a sophomore and has studied Czech for two years. He has devoted a. year and a half to the study of the Russian language.

Mr. Moritz graduated from Jefferson Davis High School of Houston, in 1945.

After graduation he inlisted in the United States Navy, and spent 22 months in the service as pharmacist mate, in the United States Naval Hospital in San Diego, California.

GRAPHIC MAGAZINE by Dr. Matthew W. Stirling.

Toward the end of the article, Dr. iirling writes: There was one excursion we wished to make before returning . .. Luis Hartman, the "Daniel Boone" of Panama, had described archeological remains located in the rough mountains near the Costa Rica border.

On this trip` we were joined by our friend Ben Grauer, of the National rcar,-Icasting Company, who in previous years had visited out camps in Mexico: The next day we set out for the nearby home of the fabulous Luis Hartman, who ;-L; a rj 11 1W, Juan had ovine to Paha-

beSt of their ability, and then invariably wind up saying, "But, - to be sure, you had better ask Luis Hartman."

- As a young man; Hartman spent some months searching for the legendary Estrella mine. He later panned for gold in various streams in the .Republic.

With an intense liking for all phases of natural history, he was always interested in locating archeological sites and speculating upon early peoples. Although he was without archeological training, I was amazed at the accuracy of his deductions.

As we approached the hilltop site of Hartman's current home, we encountered a perspiring youth with the carcass of a large mountain lion draped over his shoulders. He told us he was one cf Hartman's sons and that he would soon join us at the house.

We found Hartman at home. A small wiry man with jet-black hair and beard, he is possessed of unusual energy.

He spent the day showing us the interesting archeological sites he had found in the vicinity and presented us with a large collection of pottery vessels he had unearthed.

Thus much for the clipping. .— Sorry, that only a short excerpt can be given here. The article is copyrighted, and a reprint is not allowed without permission.

At any rate, the readers of the Vcstnik can see from this short account that no matter where a person may go, adventurous Czechs are found in every corner of the earth. ) •

His favorite hobby is reading. He hopes to be able to read his favorite Czech and Russian novelists in the original language after another year of study.

Mr. Moritz likes all sports particularly basketball, football, and swimming. He is a member of the Czech volleyball team which lost by a very small margin to the strongest team on the campus.

Mr. Moritz is working for a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in psychology. He hopes to work for the • •• State Department and he believes that a knowledge of Czech and Russian will Southwestern University, Georgetown, be extremely useful to him in this work.

These have provided unlimited opportunities for my nephews nnd nieces, with openings galore for the practice of their skills and inventiveness. In addition, your government offers a simple, safe and sure method which insures future security for home and family through the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds. By enrolling now for the Payroll Savings Plan where you work, or if self-employed, the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank, you will receive $4 for every $3 in ten short years. Make the 1960's your goal for that future security.
