Zda se vgak, ge Kolumbus byl jednim z nich.

McCarthy z katolicke university ye Washingtone vgak pravi, ge potfebne penize opatteny byly gpanelskou spoleenosti Santa Hermandad (Svate bratrstvo), utvotenou k potladovani namofniho lupiestvi.

Zni to site dojemne, pravi-li se, ge kralovna Isabela dala v zastavu svoje klenoty, aby opatteny byly prosttedky na Kolumbovu vS7pravu, ale toho nebylo potteba.

Spoleenost Santa Hermandad, mezi jejimig eleny byly nejbohat gi rodiny gpanelske, vladla prosttedky dostateenYmi. Snad Isabela jenom projevila ochotu dati v stavu svoje klenoty, avaak nabidka jeji byla pokladana jen za projev dobre vale kralovskeho dvora a nebyla pfijata.

Pinzon zemfel zahy po navratu do Spanelska a proto nebylo nikoho, kdo by Kolumbovi zasluhu o objeveni Novell° sveta upiral. Pinzon ostatne take nevedel, jaka zeme byla objevena.

Drazi ptatele!

SrdednY pozdrav yam vgein zasilarne oba z daleke Kalifornie, kde vady jest plno vane kvetin a kvetoucich kefcl.

Dosud je podasi vlhke a ua nekolik dnft jest zamraeeno. Sla jsem jednoho dne koupiti novY pasek na psaci stroj. Zdalo se mi, ae jest teplo. Tazala jsem se palm, kterY me obsluhoval, kdy u2 nam bude svitit slunieko. Odpovedel, 2e u2 tea se na ne teg i a nakika,l, ae je mu velice horko.

Ja se usmala, neb byl zady obracen k zahtivaku a ohen byl vysoky. Povidal, 2e ma jeg te na sobe tale Vinene zimni pradlo a ae ma strach ho sundati, a ae si u kamen vyhfiva revma. DoDrovazela jsem jednu pani k lekafi, neb ji velice trapi prava noha. Mela pine °di slz jak ji bolela. Henry se mi smal a povidal: Holka, ja nevim co ty nas za Stesti. V Dallasu jsi potad mela nejakeho pacienta, potad jsi nekoho mazala, a tady jsi jich zase na gla nekolik.

Ted' ua dost.

Asi pfed tf•erni tYdny se zdalo, 2e budeme miti krasnY den, tak jsme se s Henrym usnesli, ae se hned po obede podivame do Sierra Madre. Neali jsrne se vypravili zamradilo se velice. Ale to nam neptekaaelo. Jeli jsme skrze Pasadena a ujiadeli dale. Povidala jsem Henrymu, ae podle mapy budeme zase nekde zrovna u hor.

Meli jsme pfieinu prod jsme se chteli podivati do Sierra Madre. Sly geli i Cetli jsme nekolikrat o nejvet gim wisteria strome na svete, kterY se pne po zelenYch tramech. Jedna pani ,p"red 58 lety si z konve pfesadila tuto wisteria pied domov.

Povidala sve sousedce, 2e doufa, ae se bude pnouti po celem domove. Jeji ptani se uskuteenilo a kdy2 z jara to zadalo kvesti, meta rely domov obalen svetle fialovYmi kvety. Jest to krasnY pohied a tolik vane. Tea je mnoho jinYch kvetin, macogek mnoho druhti, lilie a jine.

Z maleho proutku se stale vinuli sem a tam jine proutky, delgi a delgi, a2 se pintly jinarn. Domov byl tim znieen, tedy jen Cast teto budovy byla zanechamna a druha zbotena. Postavili novy domov dale a dnes u2 jest ion na kratkY kousek ovinut tim kvetern. Jest to ftpti vysokYch hor a vzduch zde je tak disty a student' a k tomu ted' ta vane tech kvetil.

Po mnolia letech ta pani jeji domov prodala jednomu panu, ktery chtel to vge skaceti, ae pry to moc stoji opatrovat. Lide tomu vgak nedovolili, spojili se a tak se stalo ae Wistaria Vine Association se sama o to stara.

Deveata jsou velmi hezka, ustrojena ye SpanelskYch krojich a tak krasne zpivaji a usmivaji se, ae je radost se na ne podivati. Ja bych tam byla zclstala je g te hodne dlouho, ale Henry povidal, ae musime pomy gleti na navrat. Ale piece mi to nedalo pokoje, musela jsem si je jegte prohlednout a dva kousky poslechnouti. Mne se velice libi deska, a gpanelska hudba.

Piece jsme ale jia museli spechati, a tak jsme se rozloudili s timto krasnYm mistem, ktere jest idealni a ktere kaadY rok navgtevuji lide ze vgech konccl sveta.

Tak vage ptimotska Faninka zase je zde, adkoliv ani .nevim o dein mam dtive zapit si s vami povidat. U na geho ptimoti je poeasi dosti idealni, v ge hezky yypada a take doufam, 2e te2 jinde farmati maji dosti vlahy, aby mohli aspori mit nadeji, 2e bude zase dobra aroda, v geho. S velkYm zajmem jsem eetla tu povidku "Noc jejiho 2ivota", a take jak psala pani Anna Vrla z Houstonu o jejich zajezdu a ceste dale do sveta. Ja myslim, 2e je to moc a moc hezke kdy elovek mute z domu obeas se nekam dale do sveta podivat. A jak popisuje pani Lilian HoupY z Los Angeles, Calif. Ano, Vage dopisy by mely `bYt sepsany do kni2ky a kdo by mel v amyslu cestovat do Californie tak podle Vagich spisri by vedel kam ma jet, chce-li neat uvidet. Ono to tam v ge neni na jednom miste a kdy neznamy novel< jede a nevi ani kam, tak Vage kni2ka by byla velice vYhodna, pro toho, kdo chce nee° uvidet.

Mnohy elovek jede ani vi ptedem kam chce dojet a pak ptijede dolma skoro mrzutY, 2e nic nevidel leda trochu suche a hrbolate krajiny. Ma dcera pani Bystticka take byla tam v Los Angeles a psala mi, videla jsem to kr 'asy dosti, ale ono by

Ve sttedu, dne 31. kvetna 1950. to vzalo celY rok, aby elovek mohl tici, 2e neco skutedne zajimaveho vide. A tak mild Lillian HoupY, mi kdy psat soukrome kartku, tak jen napi gte toto: 1212 Oak St., Baytown, B, Texas, a to ptimotska Faninka to v potadku obdr2i.

Ovgem 2e ja, uz nikam cestovat nebudu, ja, u2 provandrovala hezky kus sveta a on kaZdY stat ma nee° co stoji za podivanou.

Nag stat Texas take ma sve pekne a te2 nepekne stranky, a obzvla gte , nag Texas ma celou haldu peknYch mest a bohata, olejova, pole a Galveston s peknym pHstavem, nu a nag Houston, tomu se u.2 nevyrovna tak hned 2adne mesto. Bylo by o eem psat, co v ge nag Texas ma, take ma krasne lany pane p genice, kukutice, rY2e, nu a to baviny take ka2dYm rokem take tro gku naroste, a ovsa a to ygelijake zeleniny a2 beda moc. V2dyt' ja na moji rendi mam to krasne zeleniny, 2e te2 sousedfn mohu dat. Na g soused Mr. Greffen se nam minulY tYden odstehoval na samou hranici okresu Harris a to sakumpakum s hauzem se stehoval a bude bYvat na btehu Cedar Bayou, nu a jednak chytat ryby. Nu je to hezke nea zde v meste bYvat, nebot' je zde tladenice, je nas zde jako v hrnci. Druhy maj soused si stavi pekny domek asi 8 mil odtud, ma 13 akra to eerne rY2ove zeme.

Kdy2 jsem ja tam posledne byla s nimi se take podivat, tak rY2e u2 byla dosti peltna, zelena. Je to tam take pane, ale 2e je to blizko Crosby a ja u2 pki Crosby se jednou topila ye tom dernem blatd a zate2ko jsem z tamodtud vylezla, tak se mi tam uz tak moc nelibilo.

Take jsem obdr2ela kartku tam z okoli Ennis, 2e chtela-li bych si k_oupit mengi domek, 2e bych jej dostala moc lacino, tak jsem tam dopsala, 2e asi se tam, ptijedu na to podivat. Tenkrat jsem take psala ten posledni dopis do Vestniku a nahodou vepsala, ze jedu kamsi se kouknout na nejakou koupi a piipsala jsem, 2e jedu smerem k Ennis, ale ne do Ennis.

A vite ei nevite co z toho mar° psani povstalo, nu hadka, strYc Brazda napadnul stryce Struhalu a pta se ho, nu jak pak jste ptijali ei pohostili tu ptimotskou Faninku a jak se yam libila? Stryeek Struhal pray' a hledi s otevtenou "hubou", 2e u nick 2adna pkimotska Faninka nebyla. StrYc Brazda tvrdil, 2e tam byla. Nu jen kdy to tak dopadlo a skoneilo pouhou hadkou a 2e jste si pti tom po puse nedali. A tak mill lide, kdy nic urditeho nevite, tak radeji nic nepovidejte. Chtola jsem jet 12. dubna se nekam kouknout ohledne koupi domku, ale stalo se to takto, ze ja nikam nejela, ;a tam jegte pied tim dopsala a zeptala se, jak je ten domek daleko od mista, dostala jsem odpoved', 2e asi 10 mil. Tak jsem si tekla, kdepak Faninka, bYt 10 mil od mista a jeZto ja jsem 112 tak uvykla jit do gtoru

Hlavou mladeho Lubasa tahly vzpominky na leta, kdy se v panske chine jak potorn jako pomocnik pracoval a vracel se dome pouze vyspat. Byly to doby! — Dreni a dkni, a nikde Usmevu, lasky, srdeenosti, jen Skarede pohledy, nevlidna slova. . .

"Dej Pan BIM dobrytro!" pozdravil.

The Modern Life Insurance A group •of SPJST members were discussing various topics when one of them said: "Two years from now we'll be again in the thick of debates and arguments about the needed changes in the SPJST. You know, it will be the convention year and we always have a lot of queer ideas."

Thus the topic of conversation turned into another channel, whether or not there should be or would be improvements and changes. Someone asked, "Why do we wait to discuss the matters of profitable changes only a month or two before a convention?"

Yes, why do we wait?

To be honest about the matter, quite a number of improvements are adopted between the conventions. The business of any concern is flowing like a stream, a continuous flow which cannot be stopped or obstructed to restrain the flow.

It is the flow of the stream which is put to use.

The business of our SPJST can likewise be compared to a stream where even the flow cf money into our funds is not steady. A year ago, there was only a thin slow stream of cash, just enough to take care of the current expenses. Today, the stream has swollen to ten times its former size.

Or let us look on the stream of our SPJST business from a long-range angle. The SPJST was established and designed for the protection of widows and orphans. For thirty or more years we never dreamed of any other service.

We had been helping our members prepare to die.

Then we started to think. Couldn't we also help our members prepare to live? Couldn't we do something for them while they are still living?

We did. To our ordinary benefit certificates we added new ones. We adopted certificates which combined protection with savings. We made plans to take care of the members' problems not only after they die, but while they are still living. We told our members, "Your certificate has a value, a cash value." In time of financial need, in

time of emergency, that cash value was borrowed to tie over the period of hardship.

But there is one more urgent service which we should work out as soon as possible. It would change our business more than anything else into a real life insurance. We would increase our business, not because some one may die, but because some one must live.

This new service would call for flexibility of our certificates. Our SPJST member could look into the future, anticipate his family needs, and build a life insurance protection that would harmonize with those needs. The future could be chartered as definitely as if they were the needs of today.

Probably it may be wise to explain it more concretely. Let us say, our member has $7,500.00 worth of protection with the SPJST. That's not too much, at all, to protect his family. He dies, and the SPJST pays his widow $7,500.00 in one lump sum.

Some one may pat us on the back, some one may be tempted to make a photostatic copy of the big check, because the departed member was our member for only a short while. But the SPJST would . take care of only half of the financial problems of the unfortunate widow.

Unfortunate? Surely, because the SPJST placed upon her shoulder the burden of so investing that $7,500.00 that she would always have an income.

The poor soul, she had never handled more than a twenty-five dollars' purchase.

The SPJST is in life insurance business. We should be merchants of life, not merchants of death. We should be selling protection not only to cover the burial expenses, but to provide the family of our members with the NECESSITIES OF LIFE. We should put living expenses into our certificates, the flow of income.

We started the SPJST with selling death insurance.

Let us change to the modern method of selling more life insurance. j • 4, e f Life insurance is always paid for—in monthly dues to the SPJST, or the family pays for it later, if the membership is dropped. The family pays for it in the things they must do without.

The Formula That Does Not Work The organizers of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 started to hold regular meetings of their own to improve their methods of soliciting new members.

At one of the recent meetings, a talk was delivered which may be used by other SPJST organizers in explaining the value of life insurance. The talk went something like this: The world is full of good things, pleasant homes, fitting and comfortable clothes, recreational and cultural advantages, but it takes money to pay for all these things.

That money to buy those things are obtained by working and by saving. To get more money, man usually plans along this line of reasoning: If I make more money, and if I save more money, I'll have more when I or my family really need more money.

The trouble with that line of planning is that too often one of those "if's" does not work out, because there are really three "if's":—IF I make more money; IF I can save more money; and IF I have time enough to carry out my plans.

Life problems are not solved by "if's".

Life tells us that the "if" formula does not work. Too many orphan homes are filled with children, because one or more "if's" of their parents did not work. Too many boys and girls should have gone to college but couldn't, because the "if" formula did not work.

Too many widows struggle desperately to make the ends meet, because one of the "if's" backfired on the husband.

To remove the uncertainty of thrift, of saving, of investment, and of time, the more life insurance a man has the less he leaves to chance. Everything is definite: the amount to be saved, the time when it is to be saved, and the amount that grows from year to year.

Life insurance is the only savings and investment plan that takes into account the hazard of death, and that takes precaution to overcome the "if" dealing with time.

Young People's Viewpoint "Your boy is not an SPJST member, is he?" I asked an acquaintance cf mine. "Have you ever talked to him about taking out some life insurance with the SPJST?" "Well, I've tried, but probably, not hard enough. What I should've done, and I didn't do, I should've signed him -up when he was a kid. He would've been automatically transferred. Now, he has his own ideas."

"Doesn't he like the fraternal features ,connected with the insurance, or why wouldn't he join?"

"Well, I tell you, every time I mention the SPJST, he comes back at me by 'asking what he would get out of his SPJST insurance at 55 or 60. He tells me that if we could guarantee him a certain income every month when he gets old, he would take out $10,000 right away. He knows thae we would give him the insurance at cost, but he wants income after he reaches certain age. I wish you or somebody would talk to him and explain to him that we could ix it the way he wants it. He is making nearly three times as much as I do, he could carry $10,000 easily."

Is there any SPJST solicitor who would like to get the name and address of this prospect? The young man is 29 or 30, with an excellent job, married, no children, and he would like to map out the kind of future he wants: a steady monthly income after fifty-five or sixty.

He does not think that he will die too soon, but he is more thinking about the chance of living too long.

There are many more like him, all young men, all college trained, all holding good positions with good salaries.

They are not interested in the type of insurance which would provide for the burial expenses; they want to be prepared for five or ten years of retirement.

They see that life too long can be as cruel as death too soon.

Can any SPJST solicitor take care of the needs of these young people? If not, why not? ) 4. • ( A FRESH ONE The pretty typist was waiting for a bus, when a long, loW convertible came to t p at her corner.

The driver lowered the window and stuck out his head. "Hello," he said cheerfully. "I'm driving south."

Fraternal Week Will Feature Flag Day, June 14

By Joseph F. Walsh, President, National Fraternal Flag Day Foundation ,10 SPONSORED by the National Fraternal Congress of America, Fraternal Week for 1950 will be held June 11 to 17, inclusive, in order that fraternal societies of America may build their observances of the special week around June 14---National Flag Day. Arrangements for the event are in charge of the Fraternal Week committee of the Congress.

Competent historians concede that the first 'official observance of Flag Day was held on June 14, 1885, in a little stone and lime school house on Stony Hill in the township of Fredonia, Ozaukee County,' Wisconsin. Dr. J. B. Cigrand, then a 19-year-old, $40-a-month schoolmaster conceived the idea for Flag Day and held the first Flag Day exercises in the little stone school house in honor of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777 as the official Flag of the United States of America. Dr. Cigrand is also credited with helping to write the pledge of allegiance.

In the years following, Dr. Cigrand became a national figure owing to his crusade to establish June 14 as National Flag Day. In 1916 he was successful in having President Wilson declare June 14 as National Flag Day. On June 6, 1949 by a joint resolution of Congress the President of the United States was authorized and requested to issue annually a proclamation calling upon officials of the government to display the Flag of the United States on all government buildings on such days and urging the people to observe the day as the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the Continental Congress as the official Flag of the United States of America.

At a convention of the National Fraternal Congress of America, L. V. Longbotham of New Haven, Conn., presented the subject of Flag Day. Following that address, Fred A. Johnson, Supreme Archon of the Royal League; at an annual state meeting of the Wisconsin Fraternal Congress pleaded with the Wisconsin domiciled fraternal societies to obtain possession of this humble one-room school, which was being used by the township of Fredonia as storage for a tractor and as a repair shop.

The domiciled Wisconsin fraternal

Ve stfedu, dne 31. kvetna 1950. societies then formed a non-profit corporation and after proper . negotiations gained possession of this building. At the last National Fraternal Congress convention, held in Washington, D. C., the Congress passed a resolution that the National Fraternal Flag Day Foundation could solicit funds from the fraternal societies of America for the purpose of restoring the building to its original state, as in 1885, and preserve it for posterity.

The Fraternal Week committee urges every fraternal society in America to make extraordinary efforts through their lodges, councils, branches, etc., to hold fitting memorial Flag Day exercises on June 14.

As a highlight of Fraternal Week, the National Flag Day Foundation will sponsor an observance on June 14 of the 65th anniversary of the founding of Flag Day. Fraternal organizations are invited to send delegations to this celebration at the school house on Stoney Hill, Fredonia, Wisconsin. The birthplace of Flag Day is being restored by the foundation and eventually will be one of the outstanding patriotic shrines in the nation.

President Truman Just Too Busy....

There were many comments about the recent tour of President Truman to the Pacific coast. None of the papers, however, was so critical and outspoken as the Philadelphia Inquirer. It had to do with a matter which every President since the days of Theodore Roosevelt faithfully tried to observe.

The Philadelphia Inquirer brought it out in this manner, and we reprint the article in part: . One of the great, decisive battles of the world was fought at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania's Adams County. Here the high tide of rebellion was checked.

In the national cemetery on this battlefield rest the bones of many men who died in the bloody conflict.

President Lincoln dedicated the cemetery November 19, 1863. It was then he delivered what has since become known as the Gettysburg 4ddress. "We are met on- a great battlefield of that (Civil) war. We are met to dedicate a portion of that field as the final resting place of the men who here gave their lives that that Nation (the United States) might live."

In an unbroken line since the days of Theodore Roosevelt our Presidents have been proud to deliver the Memorial Day

Ve stkedu, dne 31. kvetna 1950. speech at Gettysburg. In more than 40 years Harry Truman is the only President to reject every invitation to attend the memorial exercises to the honored dead.

Five times since he became President on the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, President Truman has found an excuse for sending regrets. The latest, of course, was his rejection of an invitation to deliver the Memorial Day address, May 30.

Theodore Roosevelt, twice, once after he left the presidency, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding. Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin Roosevelt, all have been at this national shrine on Memorial Day. Franklin Roosevelt also spoke there when the Eternal Light Peace Memorial was dedicated in 1938.

Five times President Truman was asked and five times he refused. "The President finds he must again decline this year," one of the President's secretaries replied to the invitation this year. "His calendar for the month of May is already very crowded."

So far for the excerpt from the Philadelphia paper. To us, common men, it is hard to understand the way of politics. We know that President Truman made a fast, whistle-stop, nonpolitical tour of the West. He visited many towns and made many "nonpolitical" appeals. Why he did not accept the invitation for the Memorial Day observance at the Gettysburg National Cemetery is beyond the point of understanding from an ordinary citizen. )

Realized Wish After 48 Years (Editor's Note:—Brother J. J. Mikeska, of Lodge Star of Texas No. 47, at Seaton, published recently in the Czech Section of the Vestnik an account of his visit of Czechoslovakia. He was accompanied by his wife. We asked Brother Mikeska for permission to have his report published in the English Section which he obligingly granted. We appreciate his kindness and give him sincere thanks from our English readers.) * * PART FOUR It was Saturday, August 6 when we arrived to Kunvald in the auto of Frank Bednatik. Kunvald was the cradle of the Unity of the Brethren, Unitas Fratrum, or as we in Texas call it The Evangelical Unity of Czech-Moravian Brethren. Here came the followers of John Hus, the martyr of Bohemia, back in 1450, to establish a settlement under their pastor Gregory. Here a noble-

S T isT t IC WEST, TEXAS man, Karel of t erotin, granted them a parcel of land where, to the present day, stands a small building which served to the Brethren for a school and a meeting-place. Not far from it stands an old linden tree—they •call it "Bratrske, lipa," the Linden of Brethren, which was supposed to be some five hundred years old, thus "remembering" the Brethren.

Not far from the little ancient building is the "Valley of Prayer," where the Brethren assembled for the religious services.

We rested only a short while, then we drove through the towns of Zamberk and Kyeperk to the village of Oermna, the birthplace of my wife's father. In 6ermna we found a number of relatives and !riends. The village of eermna had sent more immigrants to Texas than any other place in Czechoslovakia. We met the family of Dueeks, and we found out that Rev. Marek in the USA is brother of Mrs. Dueek. There were two Marek families, and the family of Motl.

It would make quite a long list to name all those whom we met and who have relatives here in Texas.

Sunday, August 7. We stayed in Oermna. In the morning we visited the church, Local pastor, J. Carda, held the services. The church was full with people even standing wherever they could. Here we found one of the many places where the children from the large industrial cities were sent to recuperate the health and strength during the summer vacation,4out in the open and with wholesome food. The Brethren Church of Prague maintained a summer school in Cermna. In the afternoon, we visited many families while making an inpection tour through the village and the neighborhood.

Monday morning, August 8, we took a taxi back to KySperk, where we caught a train to Hradec Kralove, Podebrady, and Praha. In Praha, we met again our chauffeur, Frank Bednafik, his mother, and Mrs. Svetlik. Toward the evening we took a drive to see a bit more of the capital city: We crossed the Vltava (Moldau) River over the Stefanik Bridge, by the Market Palace, Chotek Gardens, through the First Courtyard of the Castle—here we were stopped by a policeman and informed that no auto travel was permitted there—then to the Archbishop's Palace at Hradeany, then to Cernin Palace, where Jan •Masaryk killed himself, then to Petlin, to the Sokol Stadion, back to Maid Strana through the Old Town Gate around the National Theater to Vinohrady, to the Church of St. Ludmila, and finally home to 2 gkov, that is, Number 8 in TQmkova Street. We stayed up pretty late, enjoying pleasant conversation with our hosts.

Strana 21 The next morning, August 9, Frank Bednafik and his mother went back home to Hodonin, in Moravia. Then Frank Svetlik took us on a tour through the city of Praha. First, we had to report at the police station, not being citizens of the country, only visitors. Then a trip to the National Bank, to the Industrial Bank, to the office of the Czechoslovak Aeroline, and all this required almost half a day. In the afternoon, we went "window shopping," and we also wished to visit DAREX store, but they closed by the time we got to it.

Returning home we stopped in a picture show "Beseda." The advertisement said that they were showing a film from Texas, so, naturally, we wanted to see it.

The film had a title, in Czech, "The Trampled Blossoms". It was a struggle of young woman, who lost her baby and her husband, and started a movement to annul the laW regarding the illegitimate children. She had to fight some Texas senators. She established an orphan home for foundlings and those born out of wedlock. Film showed some places that we knew. It gave us a thrill to see a sample of our American homeland in the Czechoslovakian film. Going home from the show, we were caught in rain and, of course, we had no coats.

The following morning, August 10, it was raining, so we did not rush to get up. After it stopped raining, I made a short tour through the section named "Vinohrady,"—Vineyards. In the afternoon we went to buy some souvenirs, then we visited the store 'DAREX, and in the evening we went to the Fifth of May Grand Opera. They were giving Puccini's La Boheine. At that time of the year, there were no performances at the National Theater. The Fifth of May Opera House used to be Germanoperated theater, magnificently equipped.

August 11. We had to make several visits at different places, due to our departure the next day. We had to call at the U. S.

First, we stopped to view the St. Vitus' Cathedral, a beautiful specimen of Gothic architecture. T h e foundation to the cathedral was laid by Emperor Charles IV in the year of 1344.

Most of the structure was built during the fourteenth and the sixteenth century, but it was gradually extended, improved and profusely decorated throughout the many centuries until, in 1928,

Lodge Bediich Smetana No. 39 .

Dear Associate Editor: I am enclosing a clipping from the Bryan Daily Eagle, of May 20. It is a write-up about Miss Lillian Hornak She is member of our Lodge Bedrich Smetana No. 39, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hornak, chairman of Press Committee, of College Station. Possibly you could use it, if you wish to do so, in Vestnik's English Section.

Fraternally yours, Frances Homola, sec'y.

MISS LILLIAN HORNAK TO DISPLAY ART WORK AT CHICAGO EXHIBITON Miss Lillian D. Hornak, 22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hornak, South College Road, will display her art work created during the past year at the annual Student Exhibition and Fashion Parade of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts June 1-4.

The Academy, commemorating the 48th year of its founding, is under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Van Sickle Ford, president and director of the school and artist of national repute.

Some 200 students from 32 states, Canada and Iraq; will present their work in dress design, commercial art, interior design, interior decorating, industrial design, and cartooning. Works of the students include illustrations, photogra,phy, model rooms and general paintings and drawings.

Miss Hornak, who received her bachelor's degree in art from the University of Texas last June, has been enrolled in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts for the past 10 months. She will graduate from there next month.

(Editor's Note:—Sincere thanks, Sister Homola, for your thoughtfulness.

Our young and gifted members appreciate if we show them little recognition, and give them little credit for what they do. That is why we have been repeatedly asking, begging, and pleading to send us clippings about our own young members. Thanks once more, and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hornak to the success Of all three of their children: V. J., the son, with the Houston Chamber of Commerce; daughter Ann with the Houston Public Library; and now Lillian Dagmar graduating in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.)

Beginners' Czech at University of Houston The Houston Post had an article which may interest some of our young people in and around Houston. It announced two courses for beginners in foreign languages which should be comparatively easy for the students of Czech parentage. The article was as follows: UH WILL OFFER COURSES IN RUSSIAN AND CZECH Courses in beginners' Russian and Czech will 1pe offered this summer at the University of Houston, Dr. J. M. Skrivanek, chairman of the department of Slavonic languages, said Wednesday.

"The courses are designed as a national service to prepare Americans for positions in the foreign service, in international law, in translation work, and for careers in journalism and research," Doctor Skrivanek said.

The university is one of 10 institutions in the country where more than one Slavonic language is offered.

"Whether we have war or peace, the importance of Slavonic languages will surely grow. ...It is to our own interest to become better informed in this field.

English is the No. 1 foreign language in Russia—is it because they love us?"

L E T T' E R S Moulton, Texas Dear Vestnik Readers: This letter of explanation iS written for the benefit of Pokrok Moulton members primarily.

The stockholders of the White's Live Oak Center were called to a meeting Tuesday night May 16th at the Center for the purpose of considering the proposition which was offered to us by the opposition in our lodge, regarding the consolidation of the Center and Pokrok Moulton Lodge.

After considerable discussion, indulged in by all present, the proposition was turned down by a vote of 18 to 1 and it was agreed that no other proposition will be considered for the time being, although the door was not closed for a merger.

Although a different proposition was offered during the meeting; this also was turned down because we felt that this proposition would have carried because the majority of the members are solidly behind us, but because the opposition would have to submit to the Majority and by doing this they would have been forced against their will to become members of the Center and we felt that with the opposition forced in against their will, would not be healthy for the Center.

This merger will not be pressed anymore by the members of the center but we will be in a receptive mood for any proposition offered by opposition if submitted in a brotherly manner and any such proposition will be considered by the Beard of Directors, first and if they are of the opinion that it has been submitted with brotherly love and with a sincere desire to merge the lodge with the Center, it will be presented' to the stockholders for action.

The members of the White's Live Oak Center sincerely and cordially extend to Pokrok Moulton lodge, the use of the Center for any purpose that the Lodge desires to use the Center, whether monthly meeting, social get togethers, or any special occasion and also to any member of the Moulton Lodge, who desires to use the Center for family reunions, family get togethers, wedding dances etc without any charge, what so dances, etc., without any charge whatso-

The stories, coming down from the past, would be a wonderful contribution to the content of the Vestnik, if translated into English. Our children know the mythical King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, but they know little or nothing of the rich legends of the Czech people.

LODGE SAN ANTONIO NO. 133 Dear Editor and members: You have at one time or another been disappointed by the weather spoiling your best laid plans. On occassions it simply murders the plans. The time I wish to write about was April 23rd, the day when most of our fellow members and others were preparing themselves for the first dance held by the Lodge for years.

A good crowd was expected but the darkening clouds all day and the distant rumble and lightning presaged trouble ahead. But during the day it did not rain giving our site search committee opportunity to visit quite a few sites which to our disappointment were not suitable for our purpose, after which all returned to their honies to put on our Sunday best for the dance.

Alas, just at the hour when everyone is ready to step into his auto, the storm broke into all its fury; but not until I had backed out of the garage did it literally plaster my windshield with a solid wall of water. No rain was going to stop me from going, for it entered my mind that I was the instigator of

the entertainment and there was no backing out for me, besides there were things I had to attend to such as music and hall disbursements. It was not an encouraging thought.

Arriving at the dance hall amidst the rain I gave my pants leg a good shaking, not from fear but to get rid of the surplus water which dripped from atop of the windshield and running into my shoes. My ancient "barushka" insists on leaking when it rains and at that time I wow I will get that fixed tomorrow. But tomorrow isn't raining so why should I think of doing that — I don't think of it until the next rain!

The rain let up a bit after arrival and a few members gathered. But with a few on hand, tune for the dance' to start and hardly enough patronage to set up business. I was pressured to call the whole thing off. After thinking it over, having in mind expense already paid out and more to come, the hall had to be paid for in advance. I decided we couldn't lose any more by having it just the same. We did, and thanks to those who braved the elements and came later. We realized about half our expense, including those generous members who donated a dollar and were not present. I thank you very much for the Lodge.

At our regular meeting, May 14, I felt sure some one would step up and say "Let's not allow one disappointment discourage us from activity by doing something to make up on our loss;" but I didn't hear it. Not a soul suggested any activity toward that end. Surely one member can't do it all, and the Lodge doings are every member's business.

Lately I have noticed whenever some one makes a suggestion for the good of the Lodge it is left up to the suggester to do all the work. I think this is unfair.' Without cooperation we can't make our Lodge a branch that we could be proud of. But with cooperation we can work out our little difficulties and really do things. Let's do it.

I have read Brother Moueka's editorial in the Vestnik No. 20 where he writes about the first national Theatre of the Czech people. He writes the National Theatre was built by the sacrifice of all the people, everyone contributing money, etc. for that purpose. There is no finer example than that to show unity and cooperation. In 1881, while the theatre was nearing completion, a fire broke out due to negligence of a tradesman and practically destroyed the whole building. The people again arose to meet the emergency and more than before sacrificed themselves to rebuild it and at the same time plans were im-

Ve stfedu, dne 31. kvtna 1950. proved to make it one of the finest theatres in Europe.

It is, therefore, no wonder that the people are so proud of their National Theatre. They have a part in it, their heart and blood. I am sorry to say that I did not know this when I was there in the summer of 1948. I recollect now that while discussing the beauty of the memorial I compared it with some of our finest theatres, explaining some fine feature or another when I noticed disbelief or scepticism that anything could be better than their very own loving theatre. I found that I could remain a better friend if I did not mention America in connection with it. I wondered about that until I read the editorial and now I know why they are so proud of it. They deserve to be proud of it. It was built by the people. It is part of their life.

On a smaller scale we can do it in our Lodge. We can build it if we buckle down and not be afraid of doing a little work. We should rise up out of our lethargy and show some interest in things connected with our Lodge. By staying away from the meetings you are not contributing a thing for your lodge betterment. You are helping others do the same thing. So, you, good workers, who have proved in the past that you are good workers, arrange one Sunday in the month and help us arrange entertainments at our meetings. If there is action, there is life. It has been said, without action we die, Interest is built en action. So let's get that interest.

Let's have picnics and other entertainments. Let's have fun and at the same time build a larger membership. But let's build, not tear down.

The above is not to say we didn't have a good turn out for our last meeting. We did have a good meeting about half of my girl friends were there and I want the rest of them to come too.

Discussions on numerous subjects were pleasant and I was glad to see every one present interested and in good humor. Our hall was decorated with three splendid bouquets of flowers honoring our mothers. These were not bought with money but were raised with the tender and loving care of somebody's mother, therefore worth more and appreciated more than money can buy — for there is no greater pride than to be able to say: "This is my work, part of me is represented in those flowers, my hands and willingness has helped to create them."

Lad HruSla, do not take your disappointments too seriously. Many times, even with my experiences, we thought everybody was against us but later found it wasn't exactly as we thought.

In fact, some of the things we thought

Ve stredu, dne 31. kvetna 1950. did not have a foundation. From your letter I gather you are an energetic worker and therefore an asset to your Lodge and your community. We need workers like you in our lodges but sometimes when we get all enthused in our work, our enthusiasm gets stepped on.

I found I'd better not get too enthusiastic about anything.

Mrs. Holly, do write more often, and anything you can write to boost our Lodge will be appreciated. Mrs. Holly and family and a few of us San Antonians motored to Taylor for the big May Fete and all enjoyed the program very much. I, however, was more interested in their hall which I hadn't seen heretofore. The hall would be right down our alley if we had a similar one in San Antonio, spacious for business as well as entertainments and dances. It seems they do things in a big way sparing no expense to make their programs successful.

Paul Kristyn, what about that visit you promised two years ago? I am beginning to think you have entered politics!

Brother Editor, I find the English Section enlightening, educational and interesting, and the credit goes to you, but let's continue to have variety in our Vestnik. "Variety is the spice of life." I am of the opinion, should we have lodge doings only in our Vestnik, our organ in many places would be thrown aside like a wet rag. As it is now, there are other interests which will be read as well as lodge news.

Fraternally, S. C. Bundil.

Four Degrees of Being Angry Everybody carries a chip on the shoulder one time or another. This article is designed to measure your pet peeves, and how much do they get you stirred up.

For the sake of simplicity and convenience of having some yardstick to measure the chips on our shoulders, let us presume that there are four degrees to which our feelings of annoyance can be aroused.

1. We don't care at all. We grade ourselves zero.

2. We are annoyed a bit, feel like saying something, but we keep mum.

We grade ourselves one point.

3. We don't like it at all, and it takes us some time before the feeling of slow burning wears off. We give ourselves two points.

4. We really "fly off the handle,"

VESTNiK 7 WEST, TEXAS

explode and hit the ceiling. We deserve three points.

With this grading scale in mind, to be used by you in a few seconds, let us consider how you can test some of the common annoyances which you may encounter almost any day.

Modern psychologists have discovered that you can check your personality, and answer yourself many questions about your pet peeves and the chips on your shoulder by self-scoring tests.

Nowadays if you go to a guidance counselor for help in choosing a life work, one of the tests he's likely to give you is a list of same common irritations of everyday life; then you indicate whether they bother you a lot or a little.

Similarly, a psychiatrist who is examining you will probably, in the course of several long talks, get you talking about your pet peeves. They'll reveal a lot about you that you probably don't know yourself.

Right now'is a good time to stop reading and to reach for a pencil. You will have to write your score as you go along.

With a pencil in your hand, read the following common â&#x20AC;˘annoyances, scoring yourself as you read. You write zero if the annoyance does not affect you at all; and you deserve three points, if you hit the roof. Ready?

1. People who honk behind you the instant the light changes. (...)

2. Being awakened at night by someone calling a wrong number. (...)

3. A glass of water that has tracts of the previous user's lipstick. (...)

4. An often repeated singing commercial. (...)

5. Having the doorbell ring when you are taking a shower. (...)

6. People who drive slowly in the fast lane. (...)

7. A lock that won't work when you use the right key on it. (...)

8. Being obliged to stand on a bus close to someone who smells of alcohol. ( ...)

9. Bootblacks who comment on your need for a shoeshine. (...)

10. People who shoulder ahead of you in line. (...)

Now add your score. Finished? If you have scored it truthfully, you now know your degree of irritation. Generally speaking, the lower your score the more able you are to get along with other people.

However, a score of three or below is so unusual that it's a danger signal.

Every normal person gets mad once in a. while. Anyone who shows almost complete lack of irritability is a victim of what psychologists call "blandness," an indicator of possible mental disease.

Strana 25 It usually means that a person is so withdrawn into himself that he scarcely notices what is happening around him.

The average person's score will run between 17 and 20. If your score is between four and 10, you're one of those lucky sunny-tempered people. You're a born diplomat because you can slide over a maddening situation without losing your good humor. You'll probably do well in public-relations work, or other jobs which involve constantly pouring oil on troubled waters.

A score between 11 and 16 is an indication that salesmanship may be your dish. You probably have enough peevishness to give you the drive which a salesman needs, yet you keep it firmly under control and aren't bothered too much by rebuffs. Many top executives also fall into this same scoring bracket.

On the other hand, if your score is from 21 to 25 you're probably known as a grouch or a chronic kicker. There are a very few jobs you can do well, but the chances are you're not filling one of them.

You've probably jumped from job to job because of frequent bickering with your bosses. The type of work you're best suited to is a job as an inspector in a factory, charged with needling sloppy workers.

If your score is 25 or more, you have a truly terrible temper and should do something about finding out why. I would be glad to tell you how, if you care to find out. People with score that high almost always have pretty stormy married lives, can't get along with fellow workers, and generally make a lot of unnecessary unpleasantnests for themselves and for others.

Some people blow up at one kind of irritation, some at another. It's important to know what kind gets your goat.

For example, if you scored yourself as "strongly disliking" Items 1 and 6 (or even just one of those) you'd better watch your temper closely whenever you drive a car. You may be one of the "accident-prone" drivers who get riled in traffic and cause more than their share of accidents.

If you don't drive, Items 1 and 6 naturally don't apply to you, but you might try substituting questions based on common pedestrian complaints. How do you react to the driver who stops in the crosswalk zone at an intersection, forcing you to walk around him? Or the taxi that shoots into the curb on a rainy day, splashing a shower of mud on your clothes?

If you're particularly bothered by Item 7, there's a chance that you're a misfit in any job which involves handling tools. You don't have enough patience. You may be the person who

Strana 26 twists keys out of shape trying to make them work; who wrecks a camera when the film jams. You'd better keep reminding yourself that inanimate objects respond best to patient handling. You'll save yourself a lot of money if you'll study the situation calmly whenever you're thwarted by some instrument.

Items 9 and 10 are samples of humanity's commonest frailty. We're all jealous of our dignity and rights. It's human to get mad when someone criticizes us or infringes on even the smallest of our privileges. This is the way most quarrels start. And most quarrels are needless. They're over trifles which aren't worth lifting an eyebrow about.

It's always a good policy to slow down and relax whenever you're annoyed. If you can arrange to "sleep on it" or take time to smoke a cigarette and cool off before doing anything about the source of your annoyance, you're likely to find that you can handle it more wisely—or that it now does not seem worth handling at all!

The minute you feel yourself getting thoroughly angry, sit down and run a balance sheet on yourself. Ask yourself what you'll gain, and what you'll lose, if you give in to your temper. . .

vESTNIK WEST, TEXAS 1936 it has paraded more than 10,000 characters before the microphone, from screwballs to five-star generals. Since June, 1948, this rich variety of talent has been televised at the same time— "simulcast " they call it.

Not lcng ago "We, the People" went to Skid Row and dug up Hack Wilson, the famous baseball big leaguer who had once clouted out 56 home runs in a single season. Drink and ill health had made a human derelict out of the former ball star.

The night Hack Wilson appeared on "We, the People" he told the story of his degradation, urging the youth of America not to make the irnistakes he had. In a quavering voice, Hack chronicled " his tragic story.

Exactly one week later they found Hack Wihon dead, in a cold, unfurnished room. In his unopened mailbox was the check "We, the People" had sent him as a gift for appearing on the show. It helped pay for his funeral.

Nothing is sacred to "We, the People" producers if they think it will make for a schmaltzy story. They are admitted merchants of corn, tears, death and heartbreak—but it all adds up to one of radio's highest Hooper ratings.

Hunan Oddities On the ,Air One morning last year, Ed Fra,nck, a determined, personable young man, stepped off the thain in Chester, Pennsylvania, and proceeded briskly to the home of one Sanky Flynn, a Navy veteran.

"If you're selling anything," Flynn greeted him, "I don't want any."

"Shhh," said Franck, extracting a stopwatch from his vestpocket as he spoke. "I want to time your tick."

"Okay," said the ex-sailor. "Listen."

Then, as Franck stood three feet away, he became ear-witness to an amazing sound. Audible, rhythmic ticktocks were emanating from Sanky's ears, due to a peculiar disturbance in the man's circulatory system which made the pulse in his ears beat loudly.

"Remarkable!" commented Franck sixty seconds later. "One hundred and twenty ticks. Two per second. You're twice as good as a clock! You're going on the air!"

That's how Ed Franck corralled human oddity No. 8,796, "The Metronome Man," for the weird radio sideshow he has been helping produce for more than a decade: "We, the People," heard over NBC on Friday evenings.

A man in New York recently threw his children off a bridge, then committed suicide by jumping, too. "We, the People" got, his widow to tell her reaction.

The program's greatest shocker? It occurred the time a woman saw her husband and son drowning at . the same time, and realized she would have time to save only one of them. She decided to rescue the boy. ' "We, the People" had her tell the radio audience why she had chosen the boy instead of her mate. Her tragic answer evoked thousands of letters, some agreeing with the solution to her dilemma, others not.

How does "We, the People" dig up its weekly quota of zany characters? Seven reporter-writers on the staff read hundreds of periodicals from all over the country, avidly study the news items clacking over the press association tickers. This relentless dragnet for human interest unearths about a score of unusual people every week.
