0 HANACiCH EMEPISNE rozumi se Hanou rovina od Zabreha po Napajedla a od VyAkova po Lipnik. VAecky re=y a potpky, jakmile vplynuly do fizemi lanackeho, poeinaji klidne, pomaloueku 50 pliliti, rozlevaji se east° ze svYch ni:ouelcYch brehti, aby zaplavily, zejmena jara, Aire a firodne poicdei. Ale nejen voly, vAe jest na Halle poinalejAi a klidneji, neS za hranicemi; vitr foulca mirneji, mraz mene pali, boure tak nezuri jako jinde. I Zeleznice sotva se plili.

Jak by jinak mel bYti obyvatel teto poSehnane zeme, Hanak, sve pudy rodne horouci ctitel, ba zbanovatel. Mel by on chvatati a hnati se stremhla y nekam, kdy vAe kolem neho je tak vahave, klidne?

OvAem, easem i ty mime vody opusti sve brehy a zaplavi okoli; vyjde i Hanak ze svYch klidnYch koleji, vzepne se, a pak se mu neubranime! Ale to je jen na chvili; rozmysl a klid se vrati, voda opadne, a Hana i Handel jsou opet "poradni".

Kdo by tuto rozmyslnost a rozAafnost Hanakovi mel za zle? Grunt jeho urodi mu hojne, echo potrebuje k Sivobyti i k pohodli; kdyby na "dance" jaksi byl pfetahnut, vAak repa, trebas zlacinela, vynese mu jeAte tolik, Se zaplati za etyld Valachy a Horaky. A neurodi-li se letos nebo potluee-li, bude na ptesrok zase lepe!

O pildu ovAem se Hanak umi postarati.

Divame-li se nan, jak za pluhem kraei, nebo jak se hrabici rozhani, tekneme snad na prvY pohled, Se se "nepretrhne".

Ale postavte vedle neho kohokoliv — vAa.k on najima i Valachy a Slo yaky v dobe pilne prace polni — nevyrovna se mu nikdo. S rozmyslem a pravym fortelem umi se chopiti place, ale take s laskou ji kona. Nerd druheho zemedelce na svete, kterY by tak rad a talc rozumne puclu zdelaval. Jeho buthyvy i nastroje hospodarske jsou ye vzornem poi-adku, a pro kaSdou . easteeku jich ma, talc vhodne pojmenovani, jako nikdo jiny. ..

OvAem, nadherny kraj Haile zasluhuje veAkere to lasky Hanakovy. Necht' jinY po

horach a po skalach si "lozi", vAak nevi utraty druheho dobie se meli. Tak on nejak je Hanakovi, kdyS za pekneho svatee- rozumi behu sveta; pideiri se a dojdeA boniho dopoledne v late vyjde si na pole ob- hateho poSehna,ni. Zejmena eloveka, hlednouti Urodu . . .

V tomto roce Oechoslovaci splaci koneene dluh velkemu eeskemu umelci, kterSr se zasloutil o slavu eesice hudby 6arovriStm

Ve sttedu, dne 19. dubna 1950. zvukem svYch housli tak, ze saris nesmrte,lny rusk skladatel hudby Petr Buie OajkovskST uctil jeho pamatku venovanim ttetiho smyecoveho kvarteta, jeZ pak nejkrasnej'Sim komornim skladbam vilbec. Ferdinand Laub se narodil 19. ledna 1832 v Praze III. "U JeZISIU" na tjezde, zemtel 18. btezna 1875 v tyrolskem Griesu. Laubova Zivotni draha byla site kratka, ale za to zativa,. Laub navazal na slavnou tradici Josef a Slavika a je s FranttiSkem Ondfiekem, Janem Kubelikern a Jaroslavem Kocia,nem (zemiel letos v dubnu v Praze co dlouholety profesor pra2ske konservatofe) chloubou eeskeho housloveho umeni, ktere v dejina,ch svetove hudby zaujima &stale misto. Ferdinand Laub byl povolan roku 1866 do Moskvy jako prvni profesor houslove hry na konservatoti kam si pozval v roku 1869 jako sveho spolupracovniho dalSiho inistra housli Jana Hrimaleho. 6arovn* zvuk LaubovYch housli ziskal srdce Petra Iljiee 6ajkovskeho, kterY se stal jeho velikYm ctitelem a byl jeho umenim inspirovan pri skladbe sveho prosluleho housloveho koncertu. Laub vychoval v moskevske konservatoii celou generaci skvelYch ruskYch houslisttii. Jak eajkovskSi miloval Lauba, poznavame v jeho tietim smyecovem kvartetu opus 30, jim vyjadril sla y -nyrusk ladtesvfjZalnd genialniho Ceskeho houslisty. 6ajkovskST vzpomina je gte v Praze za sve prvni v'Stevy 19. imora 1888 v Ceskern proslovu Lauba, jeZ oznaeil za nejvetSiho houslistu to doby. Oajkovsky tfidil Laubovu pozilstalost a v ni se nachazel i houslovy koncert (z let asi 1848-50, kterY my Oesi dodnes neznarne — jen z autografu. Leto'Sni PraZske jaro, ye kterern budou hosty vynikajici liudebnici a skladatele svetovYch jmen, spla,ti aspon easteene dluh Ferdinandu Laubovi, jemuZ bude odhalena pametni deska na rodnem dome na tjezde a pomnik v rozkvetle zahrade seminatske.

V to dobe budou koneene uloleny Laubovy ostatky na Vykhrade do hotove hrobky s pomnikem a bustou. Tyto pietni oslavy Ferdinanda Lauba budou konany za ucasti festivalovYch hosti.

Boje o dobYvani znemeenYch mest na Haile (Prostejov, Litovel, VySkov pied prvni svetovou valkou) byly toho zativYm dokladem. "Hanak se ne tak hned rozkeye, ale potem drZi" — tato vlastnost se mu vyklacia, za vahavost, nehybnost — ale jest to spik rozvaha, ktera, je vetSinou mistna.

Mila pani, ja, tam ncbYvala, ja se pouze jen tam ph Fayetteville narodila a po mojich narozeninach rodiee e odstehovali do Giddings, do Caldwell a Bryan a pak at ku Weatherford a Fanince ut tenkrat bylo 5 rokd, kdyt otec koupil 160 akra zeme ph starem Weatherford a tak tarn ta vase ptimotska Faninka vyrostla v te divoke krajine.. Ovgern te • jsem za mladi neutila tadnYch sporta, ale ptesto v gecko mne fa krajina tak k srdci ptirostla, aekoliv okres Parker na prvni pohled neni moc zajimavy. A jak to pti glo te maj otec at tam 'zavandroval, stalo se to takto: Kdyt rodiee byli jeden rok pti Bryan, bylo tam dosti hodne lidu eeskeho a met' nimi byl nejaky ut star gi p. Skopik a on ut umel tak trochu mluvit tu lamanou anglick6u tee a nekdo jemu napovidal, te v okoli Fort Worth je mnoho dobre preriove eerne zeme a neobyeejne zdrava, krajina, kdetto tenkrat panovala v okoli Bryan zimnice a-mtij bratr Pavel byl to zimnici tak seklepanY, to sotva na nohou se udrtel. NAhoda tomu psala a mill otec a p. Skopik se dohodli, to se vydaji na cestu smerem ku Fort Worth za bleclanim lepk a zdravejk krajiny, a take se k p. 8kopikovi ptidalo jegte nekolik jinych rodin, te take touti po zdravejk krajine, a tak po sebrani firody se vydali na gi cestujici pies Waco smerem ku Fort Worth. Ureite nevim kolik dni byli na ceste a kdyt dorazili do mesta Fort Worth, tarn se ubytovali ye "wagon yard" a chodili sem i tarn po meste a doptavali se po nejake fame do renal. Ovgem kolem vanoci bylo pro tarn tu krajinu u na rent pozde a na koupi farmy nemel z inch taden tadne penize, tam jim nekdo rekl, te dal na pad asi 30 mil je mesto Weatherford a te tam bohaty farmat jmenem Mr. Whith, te ma nekolik farem, tak nezbYvalo nit jineho net se pustit 30 mil dal na zapad do stareho Weatherford a vyhledat zmineneho farmate. 8testi jim ptalo a farmat mel je gte farmu, kterou na gim vystehovalcam ptenechal, aekoliv zero byla ponejvice pisek, nu a byla to fa.rma asi po otrocich, 'vecky domky pohromade z boxu, tak na gi pristehovalci bYvali vgeci taktka pod jednou stiTchou a jak se ja ut pomatuji, v geci se dobte srovnavali.

Nage Pola gkova rodina eitala 6 Clem a pak o nee° pozdeji se pristehovala z Fortt

Strana 5 Worth do Weatherford rodina jmenem Lebeda a zalotili si tam pivnici a nagi ptistehovalci ptebYvali jen asi jednu mili od W. a tak p. Lebeda easto privez1 soudek piva na farmu a bratr Pavel hraval na harmoniku a to ut se asi ptat nemusite, moje matka bYvala vyborna tanknice. Ten prvni rok na farme Mr. Whieta utili dobrYch eastl, are bratr Pavel jegte byl i tam v Parker okresu easto napaden tou zlou zimnici, ale nahodou se sestet tam ve meste se tidem jmenem Svarc. dva svobodni bratti, meli obchod se tivobytim, a ten tid 8varc radii bratru Pavlovi, co by mel proti te zimnici utivat, aby se ji zbavil. Rekl mu: mat si silnou kavu a do te kavy vymaekej gtavu z lemonu, at bude g citit, te na te jde zimnice, tak tu horkou kavu s tou gt'avou vypij a jdi do postele a prikryj se,' at se vypotig.

A to udelal bratr po nekolikrat a zimnice se piece zbavil, pak nasi bide byli vgeci zdravi, ale na Mr. Whieth fume dele nezustali net jeden rok, aekoliv farmat by byl rad si je i male ponechal. Ale co nase ptistehovalce z tamodtud vyputlilo byly kobylky, aekoliv pti gly ut pozde aby gkodu na oseni udelaly. Korna ut byla sklizena a bavina ut take sebrana, aekoliv ja byla jegte male deck°, ale dolate se pamatuji jak i ten rYglovY fens otiraly a bylo jich moc a moc. Do domu nam lezly, ani nepamatuji kolik dni, at jednou asi k desate hodine dopoledne pekne slunieko svitilo a mile kobylky zaealy na kildlech hrat a vznaget se Od zeme nahoru at ka,tda zmizela at na tu, ktera mCa nejak khdlo poranene a uletnout nemohla. Odkud ptiletely anebo kam se odebraly, to taden nevedel, ani Mr. Whieth. Na gi lido pojmenovali nageho farmate Mr. Pudigood. On mel stareho kone na kterem asi stale seal, net tenkrat nekdy gel ut spat a za nagemi lidmi na poli pracujichni celeho pal dne po poli s konem se gmatlal a stale tikal "this pretty good" a tak mu tikali, kdyt zase ho shledli, to jede — no Mr. Pudigud ut zase jede. A tak ty kobylky nas tam ptistehovalce vyhnaly. Ona ta pada tam byla hodne piseita, a start p.

Skopik uznaval, ‘te ty kobylky nasadily vajieka do toho pisku a te by se tteba brzo z jara mohly kobylky vylihnout a vge zkazit, tak na gi ptistehovalci na fume Mr. Pudiguda nechteli taden zastat, tak se v gichni rozprchli prye do sveta, jako kdyt do hejna vrabca stteli, jen maj otec a rodina Babek tam si koupili farmice, ale eerne zeme. Rodina Nekuta se odstehovala do Ennis a rodina Dudek nekam do Wise okresu a kam se podel stary p. Skopik asi Laden nevedel. A start' p.

Strana 6 hledal, ale Ark marne, kone byli pryc. Tak mu nag i Aide vypomohli a trodu pomohli obdelat a chud'as stall 2,2 zpatky do Bryan se vydal na cestu kone hledat, ale vratil se bez koni. Chud'as tikaval tou lamanou anglietinou "myne hosis is to gon". Tam bylo moc a moc dobyteich mojemu otci take byla ukradena pekna 4 'eta kobyla a to pres poledne a zrovna pted odima a co hoveziho dobytka bylo memu otci ukradeno.

San Antonio, Texas.

(Pokradovani) Stara sin obecni pocha,zela ye sve ptivodni tiprave z ciruhe poloviny 15. stoleti.

Ptichazelo se . do ni z dtveneho pavlaku.

Velmi zajimavY a libivY byl dteveny strop (malitska vYzdoba obrany Prahy pted Svedy). Urnelecka tato malba byla opravena asi roku 1850 rnistrem Schoblem a pak v roce 1880 profesorem Maixnerem.

Wzdoba sten sine byla upravena velmi vkusne. Byly tam totiti zasazeny erby pra'tiskYch kemesel, jeti byly nalezeny ve stare cechovni sini nad kapli ve ve-ti. Take byl v sini vystaven zdatilY model vYchodniho traktu Staromestske radnice pied velkou ptesta ybou asi 'v polovine 19. stoleti. Malt vratka pod nizkou pavlaekou vedla do male mistnosti s kamennou lavici, kde veznove vyekavali, at budou pi‘edvedeni pked soudni tribunal obce.

Tvrdilo se tot, tie v teto male, tekl bych kobce, byl veznen Vaclav IV. Neni o tom vtak nikde doklacht a tvrzeni jednotlivcii nema opodstatneni.

Zajimave je vtak, k jakernu neelu slou`tiila paylaelka, o ktere se shora zmiriuji.

Kdyti totiti radni pani nechteli nektere rozhodnuti ueiniti o sve fijme a na svou zodpovednost, byla sem svolavana obec (obecni starti). A to vystoupil vticly jeden z raclnich paint na dtevenou pavlaelku a dole shromaticlenSm zastupcurn obce oznamoval, o dem se maji raditi.

Nyni nam zbYva, jeSte navAteva posledni mistnosti, pro'nas zajimave a pamatne. Je to ra,dnieni kaple, jeti byla nejstarti zachovanou easti Staromestske radnicc. Byla zasvecena k pocte sv. patronu Neni velika, vyhovovala VSak pine fleelu. V roce 1880 zaroven e stare obecni sine byla kaple kiadne opravena a postaven novy °hat.

Malby byly obnoveny Petrem Maixnerem.

Rolm 1922 byla pak kaple promenena v prozatimni politebiSte Neznameho vojina. Spodival tam v rakvi, zasypand kvety, ptedstavitel vAech tech bezejmennYch z vlaa svoje hrdind, kteii v dali tivoty. Jejich jmena historic do sve knihy nezaznamenala, aWlak jejich pamatka bude vedne tiiti mezi narni.

Staromestske radnice mimo jmenovane mistnosti mela ovS'ern jeSte celou i'adu zajimavYch a pamatnYch mistnosti, ktere vSak nebvaly pravidelne ptistupny

tirtl vetejnosti. Byla to zejmena krasna sin prhnatorska, v nit byly obrazy primanit, i starostd pratskYch od konce 16. stoleti. Velrni pekne byla zena pracovna primatora, representujici dobte obec pratskou.

Bylo by toho jeUe vies, veetne ruznYch -ptihod a obrazkd ze statnich osiav a pod., net nezio,YVa nam na to eas a proto nutno jiti dale. Pospiiine si nyni a dame se fizkou eleznou ulici (je pted narai divame-li se od orloje) a asi za 2 minuty ptichazime ke Stavovske-mu divadlu. Kdo by neznal alespon z doslechu toto divadlo, vystavene roku 1783 hrabetem Nostitzem *a zakoupene eeskYmi stavy (od toho jmeno stavovske). V tomto divadle byla v roce 1737 poprve hrdna Mozartova opera "Don Juan" a zde take od roku 1824 at do vystaveni prozatimniho divadla nalezla Utulek eeskd ptedstaveni, v nicht' zylaSte zpoedtku deinkovala cola tada vynikajicich nagich ndrodnich pracovnikil. Roku 1921 pte yzalo budovu Narodni divadlo a dnes je druhou zemskou umeleckou seenon. Vnittek svou Upravott a galeriemi ptipomind nam trochu Narodni divadlo, ovSein v metitku trochu malem. Pti poulienich bojich v kvetnu roku 1945 bylo Stavovske divadlo cidletitYm bodem nacistd. Z rnalYch otvoru pod sttechou odsttelovali elenove SS-Utvarti nevinne chodce na ulici, deti nevyjimaje. Zasloutilemu trestu ovSend neunikli, telezne: sloupy pied budovou Pratske mestske spotitelny jsou toho svedkem.

A tesne u tohoto divadla stoji start a pro nas zylaSte parndtna budova Karlovy university Karolinum. Pdvodni budova byla postavena v polovine 14. stoleti mincmistrem Jakubem Rotlevem, roku 1383 byla zakoupena pro universitu, zalotenou Karlem IV. Tedy vice net 100 let pred objevenim Ameriky mela naSe Praha ;fit svoji universitu, nejstarSi ye stkedni Evrope. Budova byla VSak stale ptes;avovano. a upravovana, poslalni pedochazi asi z roku 1718. Net jsend odjel z Prahy bylo stale pckraeovano na ptestavbe, zapoeate asi rok predem. Zylate vynika, u budovy goticky a to hned proti stavo yskeinu divadlu. 0 historickem vYznarnu Leto buclovy nemusim se zajiste z ylaa' zminovati, to jest katdemu znamo. jenom kratce uvadim: tarn ve stare

Po bitve na Bile Ho pe byla niversita odevzdana ye spravu. Jesuittim, kteki ji za Ferdinanada III. spojili se svou druhou universitou v Klementinu v jeden fistav a nazvali je university KarloFerdinandovy. Na misto dlenti. 1'kb. Jesuitskeho byli dosazeni za Marie Teresie profesoti svettti. V povstani roku 1848 brtla universita velkou roll a byla WindischgratzovYmi granatniky vzata Titokern. Roku 1882 byla universita rozdelea na universitu deskou a nemeckou. Po statrran ptevra,tu v roce 1918 bylo ()pet obnoveno stare pojrnenovani university na universitu Karlovu.

A ted' jeSte se podivame jenom za roh a vidime, ate ptimo naproti budovam universitnim a stavo yskeinu divadlu (zaujimajic celY blok dolma mezi ulicemi Rytitskou, Zeleznou a Havelskou) stoji budova byvaleho klaStera sv. Havla s kostelern tehot jmena. Jest to stavba pochazejici ze 13. stoleti. Roku 1627 Ferdinand II. daroval klaSter Karmelitanflm a ti jej za, yedeni vlaSskch stavitelii i s kostelem piestaveli. Za Josefa II. byl klatter, jako nanoho jinYch, trukn. Kostel jest pamatnY ptisobenim Konrtda Waldhausera i Miliee z Krometite. Roku 1404 o vYrodni parnatce Karla IV. kdzal tam i Mistr Jan Hus. Obraz na hlavnim °Rat jest prace V. V. Rainera a u sakristie jest nahrobni kamen slavneho malite Karla Skrety. V piizemi klalerni budovy jsou kramy a V budove jest umistena (alespori byla) Jednota pro povzbuzeni prinnyslu v eechach s velmi bohatou knihovnou.

Odtud ptijdeme Havelskou ulici a phjderne do ulice Melantrichovy, kde si prohledneme ddm op. 471, ktery ye 14. stoleti nale21 Jitimu Melantrichovi z Aventina.

Citil, te se v jejim nitru podind probouzet uratenY cit teny a te si zadind uvedomovat ktivdu, ktera se ji stala, a zmatek jeho zhoustl, tikil se a zbavoval ho jasneho vedomi, jak nejlepe ji vte povedit.

"Ty se ziobit," povidal skiesle. "Mat pravdu, ublitil jsem ti, ale oo ted' delat?

Sam nevim, jak jsem k tomu ptitel. To je takhle. Kdyt jsem byl na vojne, letell jsme jednou o manevrech v jedne vesnici atyry nedele. Byl jsem ubytovan v chalupe, kde meli dceru. Nebyla otkliva, nebyla hezka. TakovY smitek to byl. Celt' den by se byla s nami vojaly vztekala, smala a povidala. Ani jsem si ji hrube nevtimal. Ale ona sama me pokoutela. Prtelo cele dny, my, sotva jsme vyjeli, musili nazpatek a ye vsi byla cliouha, chvile. Sedal jsem ve svetnici, domaci chodili po praci, jen ona, ta byla doma jako tihadlo. Dost diouho jsem se pamatoval, at jednou, kdyt byla ve vsi muzika, tel jsem s ni a doprovazel jsem ji doma."

A zamidel se, jako by vyvolaval v hlave pkedstavu starYch dab, jako by sbiral pamet a osnoval co ma, dale iici. StYna zaryte 1-n1:dela. Na jeji tvati nebylo znat hnevu, jenom nevYslovne bolestnY rys tkvel kolem jejich rta.

"Za tYden jsme odtamtud odjeli, ale ja, si na to misto pamatoval stale'," pokradoval temneji.

"StYskalo se ti," zateptala s trpkYm fismevem.

"NestYskalo, StYno, Bah vi, nestYskalo!" zvolal tak prosebne, to asmev z jeji tvate prchl. "Bylo mi lito, te jsem nee° udelal, co jsem udelat nemel. Ona nebyla tpatna. Zachtelo se ji poveselit se s vojakem, a sama nevedela, k jakYm konctim se to chYli. Vtak se potorn posledni dni taky nesmala, Napravit jsem ut nic nemohl a dal na vojne jsem na to zapornnel.

Ted' za to mom. Ty mi nevetit a ostuda me potka."

Zasykl, jak trampotou a tisni oddychoval. A StYna mu nepomahala. Stale jen si ho prohlitela a jak sedela nelaYbna, nedavala znamky tivota.

"Co ted', StYno, s ditetem?" optal se.

"Ptitio to na pkedstaveneho, aby se pp mne pidil a napsal, mohu-li na cite platit."

"Unitela mu matka?"

"Neumtela. To je to nejhorti, te sama

take pro to dite trpi. Vdala se, kdyt •ut bylo dite na svete. Rodide ji natli tenicha,1 ktery si ji s ditetem vzal, ale dite za sve neuznal. A s mutem mela jine d ye deti.

Pted nedavnem ji mute pti muzice zabili a protote se o vtechny &Ai starat nemate, musi ptiplacet obec. Vynutili na ni, aby povedela, jakeho tatika prvni dite melo, a ted' tadaji, abych na cite platil, protote je musi sami tivit. Proto jsem byl dues u ptedstaveneho a ptemYtlei jsem o torn at do vedera. Mohl jsem to vtecko zaptit, mohi jsem ptedstaveneho uprosit, aby nic netikal, te darn, co bude pottebi, abys ty nic nevedela, on sam mi to nadhazoval, ale to jsem nechtel. Kdyt se ut te nettesti stab, at' si za ne zecipovim, a at' mam -pokojnou nays'. Ty bys se o torn po 'ease take dovedela, a pak by to byio horti. Dite je me, ja, se ho nezkekriu, a kdyt trpi hlad a ja, mam z dello byti nemohu to srovnat se svyna svedoinim, abych pro faletny stud se kryi. Tak je to cele."

Oddychl si a jako by pocitil radost, te se obtitneho bkemene zbavil, vstal a pketel nekolikrat po svetnici, po strane stihaje term zvedavY-m, nedoekavym pohledem.

Ona sedela jak drive, jen te ted' ut rrepatrala oeinaa po muti, ale upirala je kamsi do kouta, jako by chtela bYt pri svem ptemYtleni sama.

Najednou, kdyt mut se nedaleko zastavil, vstala • a ptiblitila se k nemu. Jette ni jednou k nemu tak sama blizko neptitla. • "To dite si vezmem sem," tekla undite.

"Prod na ne platit, kdyt by mu, kdo vi jak, posloutili. Mat pravdu, te je lip, kdyt to dtiy vim. Ja ti, muti, vetim, te jsi to udelal z nerozumu."

Lukavci bylo at Czko pti tom jejim pohledu, kterYm ted' se mu divala do oei.

Vypadalo to jako ostre stiharii jeho rysto nezmate-li ho posledni veta a neusveddi ze lti.

"To si hodne, te se chcet o dite starat," tekl vroucne a radost, se mu zasvitila v dobrackYch odich. "Rozvat si to vtak napied, net k nedemu takovemu ptistounpit. Ja bych je arci mel tady nejradeji.

Ale budou z toho keel; tetky ye vsi budou vykladat. A pak tobe snad to bude lito," dpdaval plate.

"Mile? Prod?" ptala se, nechapajic hued, prod tak hovoti. At najednou, kdyt si to uvedomila, zapahla se do krvava a velika tzkost se ji na tvati ukazala. "lays dolotila nahle ztitenYm hiasem, "te mi to bude proto lito, to nemam sama deti?"

Nemohl odpovedit, adkoli si v tete chvili ptal, aby bYval sve domnenky nepronatel.

"Ne, muti, toho mi lito nebude," fekla po chvili neobvykle vatne. "Nemam-li ttesti v neeem, at' je nemam v nidem. Nas nati rodide oddali a neptali se lads, jak se

A La, k posteli, aby odestlaia.

"StYno, poekej jette chvili," zadrtel ji.

"Ut victim, ze ted' tak spokojeni nebuden:a jak jsrne byli. Ale aspon pied lidmi musime zakrYt, co se zakrYt da, aby rads neroznateli. Ta hanba s ditetem padne jen na mne a tebe bide utetti.

Proto bylo by dobte, kdyby se to nati i vati dovedeli. Ja ti dam zitra zaptahnout a dojedet si do Viachovic i Poletovic."

"Prod ja, prod ne ty?" branila se studene. "Povidat ze o mne nejde, a posilat me, Vit, te nejsem teand, te jim to tak dobte nep.ovirn, jako ty to vypovit."

"Ja k n.ina nepojedu," stab houtevnate na svem. "Nechci se ombouvat, /Ado zatajovat, a oni by si myslili, te shad je to horti, net jak by to ode mne slyteli. Jen jed' ty. Rekni jim, co chcet, ptiprav je na lidske 'keel a porad' se s nimi, co mat delat, nebylo-li by snad. lip radeji na cite platit, net je sem na lidske °di brat."

"Nu, kdyt stojit no, svem, udelarn, jak si ptejet," pokreila rameny a neobrativti se k nemu drtela se postele. "Ale ja jsem pro to, aby dite pkitio sem. Nebude-li tadnYch jinYch dedica, at' aspoil tva krev majetek zdedi."

Lukavec se zamradil, k prudkYm slovain se vtak neodhodlal. Bybo by mu bYvale milejtl, kdyby byla StYna hoelnezle se de neho pustiba, zlobila se, vytYkala.

Hnev by ji opustil a pozdeji by se upokojila. Ale takhle ticha, ttiplave poddajna mueila ho vie a on nevedel, jak se branit.

"Do to doby, net budeine umirat, se leecos zmeni," prohodil vyeitave, "a ty me matet ptetit spit, net ja, tebe. Ted' ut, prosirn te, mi odpust' a nech mne tak.

Sotva na nohou stojim, jak jsem vtecek tim unaven. Zitra, da Pan Bah, budeme o tom moudteji ptemYtlet."

Neodpovedela - a chvatne ptipravovala vte ke spani. Kdyt ulehl, ona se vymlouvala, te musi na, rychlo nee() spravit, a pkisedla znovu ke stolu. Neodvatil se ji ptemlouvat, aby sia spat, a pin nepokojnYch mytlenek spodival na loti. Sledoval StYnu sedici u stolu a pozoroval jeji .tvak, jejit profal ostke se od svetla odrakl.

Jednak nevidel nikdy sveho otce na jevo dat netnou ptichylnost k tene, ale pouze jeho dUkazy neobmezene vlady videly deti; jcdnak rortrpeenost, ze jej tak beze vSeho ttec otenil, ani se ho nezeptal, se mu budouci jeho ;:ena, letela jak chmura, nad mladou jejich clomacnosti.

Ten odstreenSr sirotek by se mezi ne ptikreil a byl by stalSan varovnkm hlasem, aby si sve lasky aby jeden druhemu odpouSteli a jeden druheho podpiral, aby v dobach z1Srch neklesl.

Tak se mu nejak srdce i due temi mysly zah •aly, bylo mu tu ye svetnici tak nejak nezvykle Utulno a milo, to by byl rad na genu zavolal, abysla aptisedla si k jeho lo2i, podala mu ruku a poslouchala jeho Umysly do budoucna.

Spala majic hlavu o ruce podepienou, a kdy vAecek udiven ji budil, spattil na jeji tvati stopy slz.

"Tys nespala, vid'?" vyt,SIkal ji podre,2&elle. "A plakala jsi."

"Neplakala", zapirala, otirajic si chvatne oei. "Leda ye spa,ni. Spani me ptemohlo, ani nevim kdy a jak. Nezaspala jsem?"

Bylo mu lito, ze tak studene kolem neho chodi, ze se tak unavene, lhostejne si jejich pohybt, katde maktera dtiv mu nenapadla. A kdy StSlna obleeena ye svateeni S'aty z komory vySla, jako by se mu srdce radosti sevtelo, to je takova, belounka, hezka, 'Sumna. VzruSen povstal a gel ji vstkic.

Kdyi vyjeli za vsi na kopeeek, ohledla se StSina po vsi a chvili se zadivala na stiechu statku. Potom ku piedu, do dalky utkvela pohledem a citila, jak ji slabost nevyspani ptemaha.

Motna. JeSte nikdy se k ni tak podivne nechoval, jako dnes. Co jen ho to napadlo? Tolik jeji ruku tiskl, to ji at bolela, aekoliv ji to neptijemno nebylo. A potom, kdy ji polibil! Kolik let ub'ehlo, co ji naposled polibil. Dnes vSak libal ji docela jinak, nejak vtel, ptatelsky, Dosud ji na rtech jeho polibeni pali, dosud se ozSiva, tenten sladce mueivSr pocit, jen cele jeji telo zachvatil, a napinil je• jakSlmsi nezna,m3im chtenim a zatoute-0 nim.

Ach, jak by to bylo krasne, kdyby ji tak easteji libal, kdyby easteji tak _daverne, mile a ptitulne k ni se obracel a s ni hovotil! Jak by se cele staveni rozvetlolo, jak jinak by ji svet teSil, prate poutala a vSechno kolem ni se zahtalo.

Ale takhle jen jeSte trpkosti ji to ptidalo. Prod byl vlastne dnes takovSim netnS.7 m? Zda ne jen proto, ab ysi ji ziskal, uchlacholil a snaze zaltrS7t mohl svuj skok.

The paper, "Zajedrilear," which is a weekly publication like our Vestnik, contains only matter pertaining to the organization, and is full of material either submitted by the lodges or written by the local officers, supreme officers, or the editor.

Under the title of the paper are the wordS "Svi za jednog—jedan za sve," meaning, "All for one—one for all."

The organization, while founded by Croatian immigrants, is now a typical American organization and the transformation or convers'.on, from a strictly Croatian-speaking organization to an English-speaking society has been gradual over , the years. It has been noticed that more and more of the secretaries are being recruited from among the ranks of the native-born Americans.

Part of the interest and enthusiasm that has been manifested in the last few years is due to the fact that these youngk: people are taking hold and are becoming interested in their Organization. There* are younger people now who are secretaries of the largest lodges in the organization. A typical example is the secretary of the Gary, Indiana, lodge, a unit of over 1,000 members,and whose secretary is a young lady born and reared in this country. Another example is the secretary of the largest unit on the Pacific 'Coast, a young college student of 24 years, who is handling a ledge of nearly 600 members.

These younger people are being encouraged in every way from the organization's headquarters, where among supreme officers are several native-born Americans, trained and educated in this country.

All for one—one for all.

An Orchid to You, Miss Ella This is a story about a member of Lodge.Fokrok Houston No. 88. It is also a story of an unexpected radio program.

Let me first give you a bit of background that you may understand more fully what is to follow.

Several years back, after the VE Day, a young lady spoke up in the regular monthly meeting of Lodge No. 88. In surprisingly fluent and eloquent Czech, this young member pointed out the needs of the veterans in a camp, a rehabilita, tion center, not far from Houston. She pleaded for magazines, books, phonograph records, anything that would aid the patients in the convalescent hospital. It was a worthy cause, and the members heartily agreed with the young speaker, and generously responded in a financial way.

A year or so later, this young lady brought up before the members of her lodge another humanitarian project, and again her appeal to the Lodge No. 88 found a generous response: the members voted a donation of $100.00 to aid the children afflicted with cerebral palsy. Later, the ladies of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 took it upon themselves to enlarge the contribution by another $50.00.

But let me skip the many efforts of this young lady in helping fellow beings in distress or suffering, and let's follow her and her husband to Barker, near Houston. A friend of their was to have a birthday party. At this party, Sunday, April 2, someone hooked up a laud i0e.aker to a radio. It was a regular Sunday noon program. All of a sudden, the name of this young lady, the member of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, ve .as called over the radio, and the whole eitarter-hour program was given to her. , im the studio of the Station KXYZ, 'ouneer Irving made this talk: Announcer:—AN ORCHID TO YOU....

Voelkel...for being exemplary of American citizenship...and for your Cevoied interest and sincere endeavors behalf of those children who are ms of Cerebral Palsy.

The life of Ella Weikel is as American the Star Spangled Banner. It is the iry of a young girl born of immigrant rents who sought a new freedom of ing for themselves and for their chil:SA is the story of a child who toiled with her brothers to provide a widowed mother with sufficient food and clothes to feed them all. And then as her years unroll we find a typical American girl sighting ahead to • the final attainment of a self won position

of community recognition. Ella Spanhel was born on a small farm near Temple, Texas. While she learned her studies at Krthool, she also. :learned to hoe cotton and husk corn with her brothers, working side by side with them as the children managed the farm.

As she learned that the plow must be aimed true to leave in its wake a straight furrow, she also learned to chart a course for her life. As she grew, so grew a determination to plant the seeds which would harvest a good and bountiful life for herself. When she had reached a youthful maturity, Ella set out to carve a place of her own in the world so that she would never be a burden...and could perhaps be a help . ..to others. Her first move was to travel to Dallas in search of education to equip herself for the road ahead.

The Maitre D of a prominent hotel there was struck with the sincerity of purpose of this young girl and her early matured integrity.. In order to help her, he and his wife offered her room and board in exchange for her assistance in caring for their children. And thus it was that she attended a Dallas business college. As an outlet for her exuberant energies she joined the Sokol, an international Czech athletic club, 'which involved the participation in such sports as calisthenics, track, trapeze ring, javelin throwing, shot-put, and high bar acrobatics. Each member participated in each of these sports and Ella was one who competed for the Dallas Club against similar groups in such cities as Chicago and Cleveland in national meets. In the business world, her abilities were soon recognized. First working as a secretary of the Newton Holloway brokerage firm, she was made office and warehouse manager and remained there for almost ten years. In 1939, she came to Houston where she became co-owner of the Ralph Rtipley Beauty Salon. She is now the sole owner of this salon. Always interested in civic affairs and the welfare of others, her first opportunity came after she has joined the Scroptimist Club of Houston in 1942. She was a guiding figure in the establishment of a Cerebral Palsy Center in Houston and has since remained one of the most devoted supporters of this project. Founded in 1946, the Harris County Cerebral Palsy Center started with 12 children in one of the Sunday School rooms of the Christ Church. An Englishwoman, Mrs. Edith Barton, who had worked with private individuals was the first instructor. So great was the need for this service that the Center grew so large that it became necessary to provide lalrgg quarters. A house was bought at 4

California Street which was converted into a treatment center and clinic. A hundred and thirty eight children of all ages now receive assistance at that address. There is instruction for children of pre-school ages...and work in physical, speech and occupational therapy is carried on. Every three weeks a regular clinic is held through the cooperation of the Harris County Medical Society. The entire support of the Cerebral Palsy Center comes from the annual sale of Easter Seals, a work carried out by the Soroptimist Club of Houston...How fitting it is that this should be an Easter activity for in truth the work of the Cerebal Palsy Center results in a rebirth of the individuals which have been victimized. Cerebal Palsy is a fcrm of paralysis with which some children are afflicted at birth. It is only with intensive training and treatment extended over a period of years that these children can be helped.

No more faithful a worker, no stauncher a believer of the Cerebral Palsy Center is there than Ella Voelkel wha has devoted generous portions of both her personal and business time to its purpose. Through the years she has held practically every post in the activities of the cause. She has been publicity director, service chairman of the Club...and in appreciation of her endeavors, her accomplishments and her leadership, her fellow members of the Soroptimist Club elected her President of that organization.

Ella is a past president of the Pioneer Women's Club, a member of the League of Women Voters and the First Methodist Church.' Curtis H. Voelkel, her husband, complements her interest in Cerebral Palsy work and encourages her in it. He is a pilot for the Pioneer Air Lines.

The two of them had first planned to be in Dallas this week-end but they wanted more to share the occasion of a friend's birthday, so instead they are now at a picnic at the LH7 Ranch at Barker where all have paused to listen to a car radio tuned high. This is no birthday party, Ella, it is a party for you. Behind you stands a messenger from Braswell's of Houston... ..who in tribute to you as a self-made successful young business woman, who has given generously of your energies and time for the welfare of others, is waiting to present "AN ORCHID TO YOU"!

Of course, the program, dedicated to Mrs. Ella Spanhel Voelkel, was preceded and concluded with appropriate music.

The birthday party of a friend turned out to be an appreciation party for our Sister Ella.

It was a wonderful party, flowers,

Strata 22 sweet music, and a public tribute to a deserving SPJST member. Only the presence of her mother, our lodge Sister Rosa Spanhel, would have made the occasion more perfect. Sister Rosa Spanhel was then in Temple.

We can only say, with Announcer Irving, "More orchids to you, Miss Ella."

April 6i 1789 You may be wondering about the title of this article.

Since it has been mentioned that some of the articles found in the Vestnik are taken by some children to school, this is a good review of the days when we did not have President.

On April 6, 1789, George Washington was proclaimed the first President of the United -States. This is an account what had happened in those historic days before the first inauguration and shortly after.

We accept our system of government as something that will go on forever, something like the sunrise and the sunset, never ending. We overlook hew we got off to something never tried before, a government of the people, from the ground up, to be governed only so much as the people permitted, and how the whole plan was held in suspencethreatening to collapse any moment.

The Constitution was drafted. It took four months to do it. Some of the men left the convention dissatisfied, disgusted. Only two-thirds delegates remained to sign the Constitution.

What they prepared was only a plan, a blueprint; On March, 4, 1789, Congress was to meet, count the votes cast for President and proclaim George Washington the first President of the United State's.

But it did not happen that way.

The inauguration was to be in New York City. At sunrise, March 4, 1789, cannons in New York City started to roar, heralding the beginning of the United States of America. That day the first Congress was to meet in New York, and from that day the U. S. A. was to be known as a republic.

The cannons roared again at noon, and once more at sunset. But there was no inauguration. Congress did not meet, either. Out of 59 members who were elected to serve in the first Corgress, only 21 arrived. So the votes, previously cast, could not be counted, nor could Washington be proclaimed President.

The next day was no better; neither the next. By the end of the second week the town was full of dark gossip.

Only three more members of Congress showed up.

WWIT, T177AS

People began to recall what a hard fight had been going on for twentytwo long months over the ratification of the Constitution. Some boasted that the Constitution was an inspiration from Heaven, others claimed that it was the work of the Devil.

The great states of Massachusetts, Virginia and New York were slow to approve the Constitution. Ethridge Gerry, who was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, held .the unique distinction of being the only delegate who refused to sign the draft of the Constitution. When he got back home, he fought the new plan to the last moment. Patrick Henry, of Virginia, of the fame, "Give me liberty, or give me death," fought' the new experiment with the same eloquence with which he fought the King of England. In New York nothing but the persuasiveness and masterful political sagacity of Alexander Hamilton saved the Constitution over the opposition of Governor Clinton — saved it by a mere three-vote majority. North Carolina and Rhode Island rejected the plan.

Along with all this the times were hard. Agriculture languished. Crushing debt weighed upon both national and state governments. The country was flooded with the old inflationary Continental currency. That's how the phrase `;it is not worth a continental" originated. The funds needed for paying public debts were raised by using a lottery. The things looked dark.

Many young Men were shaking the dust of the troubled little republic from their feet and moving over the mountains into the alien-controlled West. So low was the estate of the proposed new government that it was hard to get firstclass men to stand for Congress and Senate. They preferred to serve their states.

March neared its end and the United States Government was still without a Congress or President. The members who had arrived milled about FraunceS -Tavern, easing their wrath in frequent drinks and grumbling at the city. "It wasn't half as big as Philadelphia. It was dirty. Pigs ran in the ill-paved and ill-lighted streets. There were plenty of taverns but little fresh water."

The Government could not provide itself with a home. The city gave it the old City Hall at Broad and Wall treets where the sub-Treasury now stands, but needed alterations would cost $65,000 and there was no Congress to authorize the outlay. So the money was raised by a lottery.

Major L'Enfant, who later laid out the city of Washington, was engaged to draw the plans and superintend the work. When it was completed, it had

cost so much more than estimated that there were no funds to pay him. The city offered him ten acres of land on the outskirts of town, which he refused with scorn — one of the classic boners of all time. The debt remains unpaid to this day.

It was the last day of March before the 30th Congressman — enough for a quorum — arrived. The required number of Senators did not appear until April 6. The two houses met immediately, counted the electoral ballots and proclaimed Washington President and John Adams Vice-President. Messengers were sent off posthaste to notify them. Meantime, land-poor Washington, aware that he was likely to be chosen President, had borrowed $250 in order to be ready to make the trip.

Deeply dejected, he left Mount Vernon on April 16. He went, as he expressed in a letter to General Knox, "with feelings not unlike those of a culprit going to his place of execution. . . . Integrity and firmness are all I can promise."

Held up by receptions and parades at each town, he did not reach New York until April 23. Even so, the Federal Building was not ready, and the inauguration could not be held until April 30. In thOse cheerless weeks, history trembled on the edge of a disaster beyond our power to measure. The great experiment COULD fail: All signs were against it.

There were many who had difficulty ridding themselves of the old implications of royalty. While Congress awaited Washington, it busied itself, among other matters, with the problem of how to address the President — "Your Grace," "Your Mightiness," "Your High Mightiness." Some even suggested "Your Majesty." To the suggestion that the title be "His Excellency" came the retort that then the Vice-President ought to be designated "His Superfluous Excellency."

Ritual, too, became a matter of concern. The method cf bowing to the President was discussed. Should all stand when in his presence? The ladies were planning an elaborate and formal court. But ,in the end the republican spirit prevailed.

"vast concourse" — the greatest crowd New York had ever seen — the President took the oath and then went to the Senate Chamber where he delivered his inaugural address. As he entered, the entire assemblage arose and remained standing throughout the address. Senator Maclay of Pennsylvania recorded in his journal that "this great man was agitated and embarrassed more than ever he was by levelled cannon 'or pointed musket. He trembled and several times could scarce make out to read."

Nonetheless, the people were pressed. One journal said everything conspired "to render the event one of the most august and interesting spectacles on this Globe." But there was one more mishap. The inaugural ball had to be .postponed because Mrs. Washington was unable to leave Mount Vernon in time for that event.

But the little ship of state was launched. Would it survive? Almost every king who looked upon it with contempt and predicted its early wreck was knocked from his throne before Jefferson ended his term. And never again was an American inauguration postponed. We can look back through 160 years of growth during which nearly every government in Europe has been overthrown, some many times.

This is the result not of chance or mere fortune but of a principle that has guided our system of government.

That principle is clear. It is a love of human freedom; a belief in the dignity and rights of the individual; a deep leve of peace with no ambitions against the liberties or land of any other people; and, above all, a State strong enough to protect the rights of its citizens but not strong enough to oppress them. This is the whole secret, We shall last as long as we hold to these proven principles.

LE fTERS LODGE SAN ANTONIO NO. 133

Brothers and Sisters: At our last meeting which was not very well attended, due partly to the Easter Holiday, we received the report to the effect the three Czech organizations KJZT, IUD, and KJT of San Antonio have agreed to join us for the purpose of working together en the proposed CzeCh hall.

ComMittees have been appointed by each lodge and they in turn gat busy and met for our first get-together, and will meet again Sunday-to look over the various sites most suitable for the purpose. What cant be accomplished until, we meet again at our regular lodge meeting will be announced at that time.

There seems to be enough interest of the Czechoslovaks in San Antonio to warrant a good start for a Czech National Hall. Barring large scale disagreements, it should not take long before we could have a shindig, let's say OUR HALL. And speaking of shindig, we will hold our dance Sunday, April 23, at the Beethoven Home, so get your dancing shoes on and have some fun.

To the Members

inEismmm The English Section did not have the notice of your district meeting which was held in the hall of Lodge Ennis No. 25 last Sunday, April 16. It was an oversight on the part of the associate editor, for he failed to translate the Czech announcement which was published in the preceding issue of the Vestnik. Contrary to the general belief, he does not get the reports of the district meetings. He has to read about them like any other member, and translate them a week later. A copy of the Czech announcement, whenever a report is sent to the Czech Section, would be appreciated by the associate editor so that the English Section could have the same notice for the English-reading members. ) (

A Hint To Our Reporters You'd like to write to the Vestnik, but you often feel that there is nothing important which would make a readable report. It is the same way even with editors and professional writers. Take for instance myself, your associate editor: The -printer needs a short paragraph, just long enough to fit in this particular space. I am sitting here, raking my brains, trying to compose three or four sentences—something important. Then, as a flash, I recall that H. V. Kaltenborn kept on his desk a sign which read, "Always remember that a dogfight at home is more important than a revolution in China."—See, it fills the space, and also gives you a hint about the importance of things. ) ( TACT—TAILORED TO FIT

Most of the young men and women who participated in the question and answer period on world affairs advanced a. definite liberal and progressive point of view. Yet there was nothing of the radical absolutism so prevalent in our university and college towns—an attitude often converted into cynicism, or nihilism, or Communism, all equally dangerous. The idea of the United Nations has firm roots in Oak Ridge.

Even more surprising is a marked difference between the young scientists and their counterparts in the European countries. While over there the scientist tends to look upon himself as a superior being, separated from the average citizen by his special background and higher intellectual accomplishments, the men and women of Oak Ridge have achieved a far healthier attitude towards the daily life and problems of their fellow men. This broad world outlook is a safeguard against a too rarefied and cerebral climate.

The atomic bomb occupies off-thejob thinking of the people of the City of the Atom to a much lesser degree than an outsider would expect. The use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, for industrial development and especially for medical research command a more intense interest.

How does the intellectual, the scientist react to the socialistic concept of life? Does he complain about the regulations which the government has imposed upon his work? Doesn't he feel more or less like a soldier wanting to get out of the Army and be once again on his own?

To be sure, there is a lot of grumbling.

The older scientists complain about the over-rigid secrecy which surrounds their work. The younger ones don't mind.

The interest which both groups take in their work , is greater than their interest in material gains.

Oak Ridge is a special case. As such, it offers no valid illustration of the benefits or shortcomings of a socialistic community. But even the businessmen who still dream of the chances they have missed because the City of the Atom has turned out so differently from the cities of gold and silver and oil, admit that their life is "quite nice."

Not colorful, not adventurous—just nice.

1.7 tSTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

The Months Before A p ril 21, 1836 There is a chapter of Texas history which deserves to be constantly repeated. It is the period of events that transpired in the early months of the spring of 1836.

Texans know the value of freedom.

There was a time when they didn't have it. They were under the iron-handed rule of a foreign dictator until 1836.

Santa Anna was a champion rabblerouser. He had hot, passionate eyes that hypnotized an audience — could work himself intb a hoarse, screaming rage. He could coldly calculate all the factors of a situation. He knew how long to use a friend and how to dispose of him afterward. He was never troubled by a conscience. When 400 Texans surrendered to him at Goliad he ordered them shot in cold blood.

Santa Anna was elected president of Mexico in 1833, then promptly overthrew the constitution and made himself dictator. Many Mexicans think of him now with shame and he is not highly praised in their history books. Of course there were risings against him.

But one by one Santa Anna beat doWn the rebellious provinces. All except Texas.

This was a land newly settled. Spanish conquistadores and French adventurers had passed through it in the early days. But they had left little trace. Even after Mexico threw off the Spanish rule in 1821 and Texas became part of Mexico, few Mexicans could be found to settle it. To them it was an arid wilderness where there was little profit and much danger; Great bands of Comanches swept over it hunting bison. Better to leave it as a no-man'sland, a barrier to the growing power of the United States.

But there were others who felt differently.

The Mississippi Valley was hardly overcrowded in the 1820's. Yet some of the settlers there already had the itch to move on.

To these men came stories of the Texas prairies. Stephen Austin of St: Louis secured a large grant from the Mexican government guaranteeing freedom under its constitution. Other leaders got groups together and the migration began.

Families and their goods moved in wagons across the plains or in homemade boats down the Mississippi. Some of them hadn't many goods to move.

It was still an age when an axe and a rifle were the only absOlute essentials for a settler. Many stepped on the way

Strana 25 to plant and harvest corn. The Indians got some of them.

By 1835 there were 30,000 settlers in Texas, 95 percent of them from the States.

Today in Texas you see statues erected to these men. They stand in noble poses, on their faces an expression of saintliness. But there was little of saintliness in the forefathers of Texas.

They were a tough and turbulent lot.

They worked hard, and they drank hard. They fought the Mexicans, they fought the Indians, they fought each other. They had violent likes and dislikes and the most violent of their likes was personal freedom. Above all they wanted the absolute minimum of government. And under Mexican rule that's what they got — at first.

But Santa Anna fixed that. He followed the sound policy of dictators, that the best way to curb discontent at home is to lead an army against an enemy abroad. The Texans were foreigners — also there were only a few of them and they wouldn't be hard to conquer.

Setting to work to incite rebellion, Santa Anna abolished trial by jury, imposed excessive taxes, made the Catholic religion compulsory, made it unlawful to possess arms — in a country where each isolated ranch had to defend itself against Indians.

A Mexican company was sent to take an old brass cannon away from the town of Gonzales. That was the last straw. The men of Gonzales, like the men of Concord in 1775, rose and put them to flight. The revolt ran across Texas like a prairie fire and in a few weeks the scattered Mexican garrisons were chased across the Rio Grande.

Then Santa Anna began to draw his army together in Mexico City.

Now a weakness of democracy manifested itself. The free men of Texas, who had hastily formed a government, couldn't get together on a plan of defense. Their commander-in-chief, Sam Houston, was a great leader, but they gave him no support or authority. Instead of an army there were only bands under semi-independent leaders.

Mean*hile Santa Anna was on the march.

The gateway to Texas was San Antonio. In February 1836, it was held by a garrison of 80 men under Col. William B. Travis, 28 years old. As word of the Mexican advance spread, small groups began to drift into San Antonio -- for the defense of freedom. Also there was prospect of a rattling good fight.

There came James Bowie, long a rebel against Mexico. David Crockett arrived, carrying his fiddle and his long Ken( tacky rifle. With him he brought a dozen Tennessee boys who, as he said,

Strana 26 were fond of getting their spoons into a mess of this kind. Soon Travis had 150 men.

Across the San Antonio River, half a mile away, was the old Spanish mission of the Alamo. Built in 1718, it was now in ruins, but the surrounding wall still stood, eight feet high, three feet thick.

Travis decided to use the Alamo as a fort. A good strategist would have retreated while there was time. Indeed, General Sam Houston had ordered the ,place abandoned. On the other hand, the civil government told Travis to defend it. If he could hold out, it might give the colonists time to organize their defense.

On the morning of February 21 two scouts galloped into San Antonio. Before they had dismounted, the news was flying about the town. Santa Anna was but a few miles away. His army was far greater than anyone had thought, at least 2400 in the infantry alone. His artillery choked the road.

Hundreds of his cavalry were deploying on the plain.

Within an hour Travis had assembled his men and they were clattering over the wooden bridge that led to the Alamo. No one of the 150 was missing.

Even Bowie, ill with pneumonia, staggered out of his bed and dragged himself onto a horse. A small group of non-combatants went along, the wife of Lieutenant Dickensen and her baby, three or four Negro and Mexican servants.

Travis raced through the final preparations — which would have been attended to earlier by a less devil-maycare commander. He drove in some 30 stray cattle, stored 90 bushels of corn.

Before sundown the next day, the defenders saw Santa Anna marching into the town. He summoned the garrison to surrender. Travis answered him with a cannon shot.

There was none of the aspect of doomed men about the Texans. That night, when sentinels had been posted, they lit a bonfire in the center of the enclosure, sang songs, played jig" tunes.

They talked cheerfully of the relief parties that would come. They made Bowie comfortable in his cot.

Next day both sides got down to work.

Santa Anna moved his troops out in a great circle. One by one his batteries opened fire. The solid shot came whining over the walls, crashing and ricocheting around the enclosure. The Texans replied with their own cannon, but more effectively with their rifles.

They knew how to use those rifles.

Through he first days Crockett kept a dairy. It was a terse score card. An entry: "After dawn got five gunners.

Took my bitters. Went down to breakfast."

But Santa Anna kept sending attacking parties. The defenders, spreading themselves thin to cover 400 yards of wall, could get no rest. Their eyes were red-rimmed; they staggered from lack of sleep.

Travis had sent for help. On the darkest night three scouts had dropped softly over the wall and crawled away.

Travis had listened long — had heard p - shots or commotion. kor several days he waited anxiously.

The attack increased in intensity. On the sixth night the sentinels heard outside a prearranged signal. Shadowy figures rose up in the darkness, came charging in, piling over the walls, There were 32 of them, practically all the able-bodied citizens of Gonzales.

Davy Creche I got out his fiddle and the wondering M.exicans heard high celebraticn that night in the Alamo..

But the days went by and no more came. The attack kept on. The skin of the defenders' faces was drawn tight over the bones. They had fixed stares, dozed and jerked themselves awake.

Another scout came back — alone.

Then the last scout. His report was final. No help could come in time.

Travis assembled his men. On the ancient flagstones the dust lay thick.

With his sword he drew a line.

He spoke to them, simply.. If they stayed it was unlikely that any would get out alive. But they had seen how easily the scouts had gone out. He pledged himself to help without reproach any who elected to escape. As for himself he meant to stay. Anyone who wished to stay with him should step across the line.

While he spoke the Texans had listened impassively., When he had finished they rose as one and crossed the line.

There was a cry. from Bowie. He rose in his cot, stretching out his hands to them. At his command they lifted the cot and carried it across.

After that the action moved swiftly to a climax.

There was a lull on the twelfth day but that night the Texans heard the rumbling of troops moving up into position. All night the noise went on while the men on the walls dug their nails into their flesh to keep awake.

At dawn on March 6 there was one shrill blast of a bugle. Thon a mounting roar from thousands of throats. In the gray half-light the lines were moving forward, long waves crested with bayonets. Behind the attackers other Mexicans were stationed to shoot down any who flinched. Behind: them the

But the defenders were too few. At last a breach was made in the west wall and the Mexicans came pouring in like waters• breaking through .a dike.

Within the enclosure was indescribable chaos. In the choking clouds of gunpowder smoke, struggling groups swayed back and forth. One by one the Texans dropped and were trampled into the blood-soaked dust.- Travis fell among the first.

A few survivors made their last stand in small rooms of the old church.

Crockett met his end in cne of thee rooms. Around his body were 17 Mexican corpses. Bowie fired_ his pistols, propped on his elbow in his cot. He was trying to raise his knife when the bayonets plunged into him.

Except for the noncombatant group, there'were no survivors.

The news leaped across Texas. effect was instantaneous. It whipped into action the lagging processes of democracy. - In a few weeks Sam Houston, the "colQssus in buckskin," had his army. There were less than a thouL sand, but that was enough.

Santa Anna, full of confidence, divided his forces to mop up separate communities. That was what Houston wanted. He attacked the dictator on April 21, on the banks of the San Jacinto; With the cry, "Remember the Alamo," the Texans surprised the MeXicans while General Santa Anna was taking his siesta. It was all over in 20 minutes, one of the shortest decisive battles in history.

Afterward one of Houston's troopers found a man in a Mexican private's uniform crawling through the grass, He yanked him up by the scruff of the neck and brought him to Houston. It was Santa Anna.

Some of the Texans wanted to kill him then and there but Houston would have none of that. Santa Anna didn't matter any more.

Texas was free.
