UZNANI PRACE STARSICH CLENU YVSTALA zdrava a prakticka myglenka. Doufejme, ze se ujme, V rozgifi a zapusti koieny, aby se udrZela. Neco podobneho je nam tkeba jako soli, jako chieba.

Bratr Hugo Freund od zdej giho kadu Jaromir, e. 54. ve West psal pied nekolika tVdny v anglicke dasti organu, ze navrhoval by plan, by Hlavni idadovna ustanovila jeden tVden v roce, kdy u kaldeho fadu uznana byla by snaha star gich a zaslouZilSrch elenti. By tento program byl okazalej gi a vice poutavS7, bratr Freund navrhoval, by star gi elenove pocteni byli patfienSrm vyznamenanim, knoflikem nebo odznakem.

Myglenka tato zdala se 133iti nepov gimnuta. Pfehlednuti mono teZ vysvetliti, ze mnoho starch elenfi, totiZ tech, kdo by myglence byli nakloneni a sami tfeba by museli brati fidast nejpfednej gi, o planu nic v deske dasti neeetli, a byli-li snad o myglence uvedomeni, citili se skromnSmi a nepovolanSimi, aby o veci sami se rozepisova,li.

Myglenka snad by nepti gla vice k Zivotu, kdyby nedo glo na jinou, zdanlive nepatrnou okolnost. tdetni Hlavni iitadovny, bratr R. A. UrbanovskST, dojel na no.vgtevu ku sve rodine zde ye West, a setkal Se teZ s br. Hugo Freundem. Plan zaslaneho knofliku pfigel na pketfes, a vSisledek byl, ze br. UrbanovskSi pfedloZil myglenku ptimo y e schtzi Hlavni fifadovny konane 10. dervence. Dal gi vSisledek byl, ze tajemnik Hi. Utadovny, br. Chupick, byl zpInomocnen vy getfiti zavedeni podobny'ch odznakti u jinSrch bratrskSich a sesterskSrch podpfirnSrch jednot a podati zpravu sveho getfeni v fijnove schfizi.

0 myglence se rozepisuje v tomto eisle v anglicke easti br. Otto Hanus, bSivalSr fadov3i tajemnik. Na vysvetlenou acne., khin, kteti chteli by miti pfeklad fivahy br. Hanuse, uvadime zkracene jeho nahied. Br. Hanus ptimlouva, se, aby zaslane knofliky byly co nejdfive zavedeny, ale zaroveri navrhuje, by uznani bylo udeleno nej en tem, kdo byli eleny SPJST p -

desat let, ale teZ tern, kde delku sveho elenstvi dovr gili dtykicatkou a dvaceti lety. Br. Hanus mysli, ze .uznani neb oslava trvani 25 let se vZdy oznaduje nejakSrm stfibrnSrm symbolem, a proto knoflik pro takove mel by bSrti stfibrnSr.. Pro

Bratii a sestry, zveme vas fSechny do teto spoleene schfize. Pkivedle vase sousedy.

jde o malt' kousek toho bratrstvi, o nemZ tak dasto nadhazujeme, ze ho mame pouze na papiie.

Kdybychom dokazali Who, aby nekterV z tech starS7ch Menu otevfel sve nitro a prozradil, prod tolik easu venoval spolkoye praci, jeho zpoved' zahrnovala by jed nu ze tfi pohnutek, ne-li v gechny tii — (1) pfilelitost 13Srti spoledenskSrm tvoreni dle jeho vlastnihe nahledu; (2) uznani od druhStch, ze povinnosti na nej vlosZene dodrZuje a vykonava; (3) pocit, ze je lelitou jednotkou v fadu a ze k teto skupine opravdu "patti". Kterakoliv z techto pohnutek zasluhuje si pineho uznani.

Pied dvema lety u jednoho fadu doglo k tomu, ze elenI chteli miti obrazek vgech pkitomnSrch. Jedna z faclovSrch sestet pfigpendlila kadovemu tajemniki; ,pies jeho prsa stuhu s napisem, kolik let ji2 Ufadoval. Snad ZadnS7 hstni projev pcchvaly by nebSwal pote gil tohoto stare() tajemnika tolik jako tato neodekavana pozornost na jeho sluZby. Stuhu si dosud verne opatruje.

0 kolik cennefai a vSiznamnejS'i bYval by zasluZnS7 odznak za jeho praci! )• • Neni lhostejno, zdali narod horlive etc, a jeAte mene musi nam bYt lhostejno, co ete. Pisemriictvi tak zvane krasne nevi posledni z velikSich sil, ktere na nas vge chny mocne pusobi, na vysoke i nizke, no mute, 'teny i deti. To proto, ze krasne pisemnictvi je projevem citti a zase probouzi city, a city vedou nas Zivotem vic noz rozum. Herben.

• * Vydag-li se na cestu a vezme g pH tom svoji vlastni knihu z domu s sebou, jsi pravV a poctivSr dtendf. Spoleha g-li vgak. ze si nem koupig nekde v nadranim knihkupectvi, nemag pomeru ani ke knize, ani k eetbe a o literature bys pak ra nesmdl ani mluvit. — Harold Nichol-son.

dleny se 40-letSrm elenstvim, odznak mel by b; ti z.-1.acen nebo zlatSr, a pro Melly 3 50-1eVm trvanim dlenstvi m8l by rozhodne byti zlatSr. Bylo by velmi vitanou debatou, kdy by bratki a sestry podali v organu sva dobrozdani. Myglenka si zaslouZi dobre fivahy, s udanim pfidin pro i proti, kolik bychom tim vnesli do fadfi noveho zajmu, a jake v3ihody by snad byly s tim spojeny.

Ad podobna vec nenecha, se zpina odhadnouti v dolarech a centech, mnozi z nas jsme si navykli se uskrovnovati a nerozhazovati.

Na druhe strane vgak jde o uznani za8testi je vzaena rovnovaha men tint 61uh, jde ci projev vfidi star gim dlenum, aim jsma a co mama. — J. H. Denison,

"Byl to zcela jinY spolkovY iivot", slysime obca,s zastesknouti si nektereho starS'iho spolkoveho bratra. "ScInize byly eetne navSlevovany, nebot' den schfize byl pro kag deho elena svateeni den. Nehledelo se na to, ani kdyZ se schfize nekdy protahla. I o fitady byla svadena predbe r2,na agitate. Bylo to velkou cti pro ka2deho, kdyZ byl zvolen za tadoveho Utednika." Takov3i stesk o slabSTch navStevach schuzi sly g ime z mnoha mist. JenZe nag v g tevovani schuzi nemffZe byti vrchol spolkove prate. Schtize jsou k vuli vyiT6tovani prate ji g vykonane a planovanim

Vet g ina litli uznava, ke spoleenost lidska, y e ktere Zijeme, neni je g te dobre zena a organisovana, Ze je nesvorna a rozharana. Kdyby byl svet usporadan rozumne, bylo by mnohem mene strasti, utrpeni, hmotne i mravni bidy. Je isto, Ze nas suet neni rozumnY. Kdyby nekdo stave. ' dam tak, jak budujeme rtizne skupiny lidske spoleenosti, nak rady SPJST nevyjimaje, byl pokladan za blazna. A piece neni nouze o rozumne plany, jenk jejich provedeni potkava se s prekaZkami, s nechuti a odporem jednotlivca, vlastni liknavosti, nekdy nedostatek dobre vale. KaZda spoleeenska a spolkova prace je taka, protok material jsou lide pohyblivi, pocilehajici s y Ym claim a pranim, vlastni jeSitnosti, nekdy i vlastnimu sobectvi. Pram my spolkovY pracovnik Casto vidi jen svou Cast, jen svUj Usek. Nekdy je tPeba, aby cela skupina prikladne celY rad domaci dovedl videti aby mei jakYsi pfehled celkovy. Nekdy v rozhledu nam brani nak stare predsuclky, ktere se pro sve stall teSi naSi Ade, nekdy podleharne s y Ym cittim a pranim, ktera jsou east° nerozvana. A protok elo y ek je bytosti nejen rozumovou, ale i citovou a volnou, nedovede o vecech soudit jen objektivne, ale podrZuje si vkly svoji osobni pravdu. Miluje, nenavidi, je St'asten nebo neSt'asten, a neer) se mu libi nebo nelibi. Proto spolkova prate` je tak teZka. Za pokus by to stain. U jinYch podparnYch jednot, jak mono seznati z jejich spolkovS7ch organa, ureuje se g as od easu kvota k ziskani novSrch elenn. Zajiste vexme to hodne premYAleni a pochopeni situace u kaZdeho domaciho radu nebo oclboeky, neZ podolana kvota se urei. Lhata je obyeejne rooni nebo palroeni, nebo aZ po ureitY v3iznarnny den. Cas od easu se verejne v organu oznamuje, kolik bylo kterYm tadem vykonano v zajmu dovrkni. Nic se nenaleha, nic se nevymaha, ale v g ude se klade daraz na dobrou vali, na spolupraci. Pokud moZno, davaji se pokyny, a naznaeuji se nove nebo y hodnejSi cesty k dosaZeni tile. Ma y ne je kladen daraz na agitaern praci mlaclYch lidi, kteli opet snadneji pronikaji mezi sobe IOVIle VekeITI i nahledy. Nee° poclobneho snad by stalo za pokui v naSem organisaenim naboru.

Vedecka, kniha je za, deset roka zasta rala, tvrdi vedatoki a ueenci. Lidske v g eobecne poznani se stale zdokonaluje. Poznatky, ktere byly vysloveny v nektere vedecke knize pied deseti, dvaceti roky,

Ve nifedu, dne 23. srpna 1950. byly prekonany novYmi zkaenostml a poznatky. Naproti tome nag e osobni presvedeeni ma vkly sklon ke konservativnosti, totiZ ke 1peni na starch zavedenich a zvyklostech. Nazory, jednou prijate, stavaji se u mnohYch z nas nerozluenou sloZkou nakho Zivota. Hajime je east° z osobniho zaujeti stilj co stab i kdyZ u2 davno nejsou spravne. Prekonavat svtij vlastni sklon ke konservatismu — 1peni na torn, co je y Zite — to je predni starosti kaZdeho, kdo usiluje o zlep g eni lidskych veci. Je jasno, k sklon ke konservatismu, sklon chteti se starch zpasoba, S'kodi a wadi east° i ve spolkove praci. Je pro nas pohodlnei g i bYti usedlY a nedame se jen tak lecjakou novou mySlenkou strhnout.

Pomahalf jsme -- a dvakrat. Dobra polovina Pada SPJST zalokna byla ji2 pied prvni sveto you valkou. Nektere tady y znikly aZ v dobe pozdejSi. U mnoha radii nejvetS1 spolkova einnost byla vystupirovana, kcly2 jsme pracovali ve prospech stare vlasti. Dvakrat jsme pomahali. Byla to prace krasna a nikdo z nas nemusi si nic vyeitati. Byla to prate v zajmu spra y edlnosti. Nelitujeme, at' jiZ se diva.me na na S s i pomoc se stanoviska jakehokoliv. Ted', kdy2 zname sve schopnosti, naclkni a obeta y ost, meli bychom techto peknYch sv Ych vlastnosti vyuZitkovati take pro sebe. Napied si musime priznati, Ze jsme larozne pozadu v konani povinnosti k sobe sarnotnYm. Pri g la doba, abychom pracovali y e vlastnich zalelitoabychom pracovali pro sebe a pro nak vlastni budoucnost. Prisla doba, abychom si uvedomili, ze naSe vlastni spolkove poSinky zarostiy travou a podrostem, ke nak spolkove ploty jsou uZ hodne polamane, ze jsme hodne prizapomneli starati se o vzhled svYch spolkovYch mistnosti, spolko y Ych slni, Ze jsme zanedbali vlastni spolkove programy, Ze jsme navykli bYti ne y Sima y i k vlastnim pottebarn.

Kolikpak Francouzu a Anglidanii nepadlo v ohni strojnich puSek Maxim, prodanSrch cisati velkou anglickou firmou?

Maxim? Toto jmeno nam pripomina jine — slavneho "obchodnika se sinrti" povestneho Basila Zaharoffa. Basil Zahatoff se nenechaval rad fotografovat. Jeho snimky musely byt proto porizovany dalkovSfm objektivem, otr gem pokud byl Zaharoff jeSte na vjrSi sve doby. A na jake vysi, paneeku! Basil Zaharoff byl v dobe sve sm.rti jednim z nejbohatSich a nejmocnejSich lidi tohoto sveta. Nikdy se v S • ak o nem nevedelo ani kdo vskutku byl, ani odkud Na jelio vrub byly pripisovani nejrtiznejS1 legendy. Narodil jsem se v Tatavii, v 'reek& to etvrti Carihradu, ujiAt'oval jedny v okamZiku,kdy predkladal krestni list, sepsanji r. 1849 starostou Mugghly, maleho mesteeka Anatolie, aby drulVin se snail namluvit, Ze pochazi z Phanaru, jine etvrti Catihradu, v niz vladli zamoZni fiekove.

Jeho jmeno? Jaka, ota.zka! Zachar, pravdepodobne. Pobyt jeho rodiny ye slovanska zemi pozmenil jeho recite jmeno na Zaharoff. Jeho narodnost? KdoZ vi?

Recka, turecka, ruska? Nikdo ji nikdy neznal. Basil Zaharoff mluvil vSemi jazyky a mohl smele tvrdit, Ze kaZdSi; z nich je jeho materStina.

Roku 1370, kdyZ mu bylo neco pies 20 let, Basil Zaharoff vstupil do sluZeb ke svemu strVci, kteri; byl v Carihrade majitelem velkeho vjivozniho podniku. Obchod zkvetal a strST, kterST byl nemocen, piibral synovcc za sveho obchodniho spoleenika, u nehoZ ocenil jeho kvality.

Roku 1873 Londjin uslySel po prve o Basilu Zaharoffovi: byl vsazen do vezeni.

Na konci minuleho stoleti tato spoke"nest splynula s firmou Vickers. Skupina Zaharoff dostala tehdy v penetich a V novVch podilech okolo 8 miliona Moe a bohatstvi Zaharoffa neustale vZrtistaly.

Po valve 1914-18 byl Basil Zaharoff povjrgen anglickSrm kralem Mini do stavu Slechtickeho. Dostalo se mu radii a vyznamenani vSech druhii jak od Anglie, tak i od Francie.

V tomto okainZiku sveho *givota sir Basil ji2 opravdu nevedel, co podit s penezi, ktere ziskal prodejem nastrojii smrti.

Potom, aby se' nefeklo, venoval take 5 miliont dolarri francouzskym valeanYm vdovam a sirotkrirn.

Postupne byl prtivodcem cizincii, nav gtivivSich LondSm, bartendrem a bezpochyby vykonavatelem jeSte i mnoha jinjich prilelitost0Srch zamestnani.

Ale nahoda mu pomohla k seznameni s • eckSrm politikem Sktidulisem, kterk se mel za nekolik Indio mesica stati predsedou recke vlady. Skudulis se zajimal o sveho mladeho "krajana", v tiein g objevil vlohy Sikovnosti, odvahy a nadprilmerne inteligence. Tento politik se dovedel, anglicka zbrojarska firma Nordenfeldt hleda zastupce pro ftecko. Doporueil ji sveho chranence a vymohl mu plat $25 tydne, veetne provise z UzavrenSich obchocIti. Tak se mla0 Basil Zaharoff znovu uehytil. A ji.Z ho nikdo vice v jeho rozletu nezastavil. Nebot' Skudulis udeloval firNordenfeldt, kterou Zaharoff zastupoval, velke objednavky. A mladk muZ se stal od tohoto okamZiku nejvet gim soupetem jine zbrojaiske firmy: mocneho dodavatele Maxima.

Aby spiSe dos an! velkeho umeni,,Basil Zaharoff sahl ke korupci. Bylo treba presveddovat cizi odborinky (recke, turecke, ruske), kteri byli povereni nakupem zbrani pro sve vlady, ze dodavky Nordenfeldta jsou mnohem vS7hOdnejSi, nee dodaVky Maximovy. A jako nejpadnejSi pte7 svedeovaci prostredek uplatnil tenkrat zpropitne.

Vypravi se, Ze Basil Zaharoff, aby spiziskal objednavky;; provadel kousky vskutku skandalni. NejzajimavejSi byla koupe svicnu pro Zenu carskeho generala, za kterk Basil v domneni, ze je to staroZitnost, zaplatil 300,000 frankti, aekoli nestal bratru ani za 50 frankti.

Za sveho poslani v Rusku v r. 1895 setkal se Basil Zaharoff s vevodkyni Villafranca. Tato velmi krasna Zena byla dhoti Silence, ktereho musil zaviit do blazince. Vevodkyne nebyla bezcitna k nalehavernu dvoreni nejmocnejSiho dodavatele munice to doby. AvAak jako pravoverna katolidka odmitla dati se se s yStm nemocnSim manZelem rozvest.

Staiik (Pokraeovani) Hned po °Ude vzali ohrabeenik, uvazali ho na lano a spustili Antonina do diry. Kdyt" se dostal pod zem, uvidel krasnY zamek. Pted zamkem byla pekna. zahrada. Nejprve vyhledal toho sta teeka, aby se dozvedel, co je to za zamek a kdo v nein bydli. Statik se bal biti a Zakal povidat: "V tomto zamku jsou tti sestry, zaklete zlou earodejnici. KaZdou hlida velikY drak. Kdo by je chtel vysvobodit, musel by zabit vgecky tti draky. To se nepodati jinYm meeem nd tim, kterY visi nad vraty."

Antonin slibil stateokovi, ze ho nebude bit a poladal ho, aby ho zavedi aZ' k vratilm. Musel mu ukazati ten me a ce stu do svetnice, kde bydli princezny. Antonin vzal riled a gel do zamku.

Kdyg tam vekl, uvidel prvni princeznu namalovanou nade dvdmi. OSklivSr, I velikSr drak ldel u ni. Tu gel u2 na Antonina strach. Ale nedbal toho, odevzdal se do vtile Bo21, pokhnal se kfikm, otevtel dveie a ve gel tine do svetnice. Jak jej princezna uvidela, lekla se a kYvala mu, aby gel nazpet. Drak seal po obede a mel hlavu na jejim kline. Antonini nedbal na jeji lOvani, ale skoeil, t'al, a j ednim razem byla drakova hlava dole, a princezna, byla vysvobozena. Hned mu dekovala a pobizela ho, aby jen rychle odegel ze svetnice, aby mu neu gkodil jed, kterY vytekal z drakova tela. Sama jej hned vyvedla a gla s nim do druheho pokoje. Tu mu povidala, ze ma zde jegte dy e sestry, aby je taky hledelt vysvoboI dit a zavedla jej tam, kde bydlela jeji rnaldgi sestra. Napomenula jej, aby gel do svetnice tine a hledel zabit draka najednou. Ale Antonin neZ gel k druhe sestke, zavedi nejstar gi k ohrabeeniku a

Strana 15 tekl ji, aby si do neho sedla, ze ji jeho druhove vytahnou nahoru. Usadil ji tam, zattas1 provazem a jeho druhove ji vYFotom gel na druheho draka, gt'astne vysvobodil i druhou princeznu; dal ji vytahnout v ohrabeeniku nahoru a gel k tteti. Protole uz dva draky zabil, myslel si, ze i ttetiho zintiZe, a nedal dost pozor, kdyZ vchazel do svetnice.

Dvete vrzly, drak se probudil. KdYZ uvidel Antonina, rczevtel tiamu a chtel jej pohltnout. Ale Antonin mu uhnul ho. Ale ponevadZ mel co delat jj.2 dvema draky, ztratil mnoho sily a nost'al draka razem. Princezna zaktibiD strachem o Antonina a padla do mdlob.

KdyZ drak uslygel jeji vYktik, malinko cc °bran.. Vtom si Antonin dobte narnitil a razem byla hlava dole. Potom schoval do kapsy, co mela princezna na stole: zlatY peniz, zlate jablko a zlatS/ pasek, vzal princeznu do naruee, vynesi ji yen a ptivedl ji k sobe. Byla nejmladgi a nejkrasnej gi ze vgech a Antonin:.vi se velice zalibila. Na eerstvem vzduchu se brzo vzpamatovala, dekovala za vysvobozeni a slibila, ze se mu jeji otec kral velice odmeni. Antonin ji se jako druhe sestry posadil do ohrabeeniku a jeho druhove ji vytahli von.

Ale mill druhove neptali Antoninovi, 2.(2 vysvobodil princezny a zlobili se na neho, ze se jim rano vysmival. Domluvili se, ze ptetiznou provaz a ze on spadne a zabije se a ae oni sami dva dostanou od krale odmenu, kdy'Z mu ptivedou princezny. Ale Antonin jako by to vedel, nenasedl sam, ale nakladl do ohrabeeniku kameni a trhl provazem. Druhoak dyZ byli hodne vysoko, pketiyit provaz a 1'N:A bac dolt. Antonin zustal pod zemi a nevedel kudy yen. Tu mu anpadlo, ze ten stateeek byl naho •e a 2,e must povedet, jak se odtud dostal. Sta.teeek mu to nechtel tici a sna2,11 se uskaeit, ale Antonin ho chytil. Kdy2 sta.feeek videl, ze neuteee, zavedi ho na louku, na ktere se pasl 'peknY mladY k-oni6ek. "Vezmi si toho konieka," tekl sinPik, "sedni nan a nech ho jit, kam thee.

Vyveze to na. zem." Antonin se posadil na konieka, a ne2 se nodal, byl venku.

Pustil konieka a ten zase vbehl do diry zpatky. V zamku si nabral, eeho note boval na cestu sam tam nechtel bydlet, a pustil se do sveta, kam jej oci vedly.

Ptigel i do , mesta, kde bydlel kral, otec tech princeZen. Za gel do hospody a ptal se hostinskeho, co je to noveho. "0 mnoho, velmi mnoho! Na g kral mel tti ptincezny, zaklete uz mnoho' let a nikdo je nernohl vysvobodit, az dva vojaci, a za to si nyni maji kaZdY jednu princeznu vzit." Antonin netikal na to the a gel se podivat trochu po meste.Tu slygel bubnovat, e nejmlad gi princezna ztratila zlatY peniz, zlata jablka a zlat,;7 (Dokonecii, na strane 18.)

"At' si Tonda hleda jinou," rczhodla sug e. "RI jsem chuda; neumim piti koralky a biti se od rialto take nedam.

Nebojte se, ja s Va g ikem nepromluvim jiz ani slcva, a aC okopam brambory, pujclu do mesta slouZit." Vstala a g la k lesu. Chtela se vyhnouti dalg i rozmluve s inatkou a pctrebovala take bYti samotna, aby mohla o vgem dobie uvaZiti.

"Vida chudou pS7chti," volala na ni stem. "Nelfdy bys, Cabo, je gte brala, to nikdo nebude chtiti."

Ale 1VIanea se ani necbratila,. Se gla, s planiny na strati a sedla na prikop u lesa. Chopila se zase prace, ale nemohla ji2 nieeho delati. Zadivala se pied sebe do hou g ti a premY glela. Co ted' udela? Bude-li doma dele, roz giri matka schvalne po okoli, Ce se diva po mladem Odstreilovi jinak, neZ se svobodnemu deveeti dust. Chasa se ji tak dost strani, Ze je od Zaluda, a pak se ji bude tim vice posmivati. Aby si Tondu vzala, k tomu ji nikdo neprinuti. Zachvela se pri my glence, ire by mela s tim na veky bYti cddana. Ano, kdyby byl jako Vagik!

Ted'' se 1Vlanea zarazila. Sama sebe se k eemusi priznala, co tafila pFed jinYmi, co tajila sama pied sebou. Libil se ji Vag ik, tuze se ji libil. Zavidela ho Toilet a touZila,, kdyby radeji byl mu'Zem jejim neC ToneinSnat. Sotva k tomu priznani dogla, 112, nebyla na rozpacich, co Matt.

Tisen rozloueeni padala na ni a ona byla, proti tomu pocitu bezbranrad. Pol6Zila si hlavu na ruce do klina a plakala. Nevedela, proo phiee, ale plakala, nepremahajic plan, aby ulelteila svemu smutku, jenz tahl jeji dugi.

Sedela tu do yeeera a pak se vracela dcmu. KdyC ve gla do sine, chytil ji kdosi cicala pasu. Lehce vzki'ikla a vytrhla se z nenacialeho objeti. Poznala, Ze ji to Tonda chytil.

"Dej mi pokoj a hied' si sveho!' krikla na neho hlasent, chvelicim se stracthem i hnevem a rychle gplhala se po Zebriku na pudu.

Tonda se zasmal a beze slova g el do svetnice. Pcvainval cdper Manein za vzdor a nedbal toho. Byl presvedeen, Ce ona bude piece jeho Cenou. Nevzicom/lel si na Z"eneni nikdy tak vaZne, IA° letos, kdy videl, Ce ye vedlej gi chalupy se Toraca vdavala. Cekal, Ce piece jednou Tonal dostane, Ce sama,-aC sestarne a nebude miti vice CenichU. Kdy'Z se ale vdala, napadlo ho, Ce uC ma take na Mneni eas. Kam jiti pro nevestu?

Vedel prilig dobie, Ce na neho lide hledi jako na eloveka malo poeestneho. OclbYvali by ho, a to se Tondovi nelibilo.

Kdyz Manta s Odstreilern na poll mluviti poeala, zahy 2aludka dcma se tomu posmivala.

"Mne se zda, ze Moravcova Tonea bu de brzy vdavek svych litovati," rikavala doma Skodolibe. "Vagik se ma k svetu, nage Manta mu padla do cka. Misto prace jen s ni stoji a povida.. Dobie tak na Tonal, bych ji prala, aby ji vlastni muz ztrestal."

Ted' teprve si 'ronda v giml sve sestry.

Divil se, Ce se mu drive nelibila. Nic ce nema, ale at', MUM si vziti, co sam chce a braneni tatikova dbati nebude.

Manta vlastne jeho sestrou neni, je praZe, a bude rada, kd372, si ji vezme. Uva2oval o tom mnohokrate, aC se rczhodl, Ze to tak udeld.

"02enim se," povidal jednou yeeer, kdyZ jiZ rodiecve chystali se jiti spat a Manta ode gla na padu, kde v 160 spava Ia. "Mae' uC nevestu?" ptala se matka.

"Mam. Nebudu mnoho vybirati. Vezmu si nagi ManCu." 2alud se nucene na lavici zasmal.

"To jsem si jiC dal/no myslil, Ce to tak dopadner - povidal kysele. "No, delej jak chce g, ja, se Ceniti nebudu. Jen ji jednou nevyeitej, Ce jsi si ji vzal holou."

"VCdyt' ono ho to prejde," prohodila stara, posmegne.

Prato si uminila, Ce mu nebude zbranovati. KdyZ pak u Moravcit vyzvedela, Co rozmluvy Maneiny s Odstreilem Toned trapi, zahrala si na starostlivou matku.

"I netrap se, Tonieko," povidala mlade Odstreilove, "na ge Manta, ma uz sveho Zenicha a prede Znemi bude svatba.

Zakoukal se do , ni nag Tonda. A a2 bude po svatbe, p?ejdou Marten blaznive jeji napady."

Jakrrdle se od A/crave-a vracela a ManCu pied chalupou samotnu zastala, povedela ji, ae si ji Tonda vyhledl. KdY2 Bela Man'eu k lesu odchazeti,. nemohla pochopiti, Ze jegte vzdoruje. Dle jejiho nahledu mohla by Bohu clekovati za to dobrcdini, kdyZ' bez krejcaru penez se mil& do chalupy vrati. Sotva ve gla do svetnice, vykladata, jak u Martel pochodila. Syn se dal do posmegnebo smichu.

"Dobie yam tak. Prot delate dohazovaee? Ja jsem si bez vas nevestu na gel a bez vas bych ji clo yed' rici, Ze• se ji vezmu. Uvidite, az ja ji to reknu, Ce ode mne neuteee."

Prato gel Manei vstric do sine, mysle si, se ona bez zdrahani da od neho obejmouti. Ale hle, odstreila ho a utekla na pitdu. Nemrzelo ho to ona povoli sama. Nevgimne si ji nekolik dni a bude dobie.

Veg el tedy do svetnice a lhcstejne si sedl za still. Cekal na noc, protoCe chtel podivat se po okach. Chodival pravidelne v nedeli do lesa. V ten den hajni sedi dc-ma a je mnohem bezpeenergi neZ v jinV den. Staff usnuli a on u stolu podrimoval.

Po pill ncci se probral z drimoty. Zaslechl venku nejake vrznuti. Vyskoeil a vybehl, rychle yen. Noe byla tichd a ae' mesic nesvitil, piece bylo dosti daleko videti. Tonda spattil, jak kdosi od chalupY utika k lesu. NerozmSTglel se a vyrazil za ubihajici postavou. Ted' teprve podle vlajicich sukni poznal Maneu. Kam bCCI v noel? Ze snad chce uteci! Zmocnil se ha vztek. Utikal co sily mel.

Manta videla, Ce ji Tonda pronasledu-r je. Myslila, Ce mu v lese unikne, a proto utikala, co sily mela. Ale jiZ' slygela za sebou jeho supajici dech a skoky. Dobehla tedy na kraj lesa a tu tefte oddychujic se zastavila. Tonda byl za ni v patach a ted' dorazil aZ` k ni.

COME NIUS SCHOLARSHIP

A . month or so back, the Vestnik published a report which may be of interest to many of the young SPJST members, especially to the students who are interested in acquiring proficiency in the Czech language.

Lodge Pokrok Houston No., 88 of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas has established a scholarship in the amount of $150.00 a year. The scholarship is open to outstanding students in the Department of Slavonic Languages at the University of Houston, who are pursuing the study of the Czech language and literature.

This academic honor award shall• be given annually on the basis of (1) scholarship, (2) character, (3) leadership. The recipient shall be determined by a seven-member University committee, including two members who shall represent Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88.

The details of the honor award, officially designated as the Komenskk (Comenius) Scholarship, are revealed in the following correspondence between the Lodge NO. 88 and the officials of the University of Houston, namely, Dr. W. W. Kemmerer, president of the University of Houston, and Dr. J. M. Skrivanek.

Dr. John M. Skrivanek, Chairman Department of Slavonic Languages The University of Houston Dear Dr. Skrivanek, Your letter of July 6, requesting that a scholarship be established for the students of the Czech language and literature at the University of Houston has been received and acted favorably by our Lodge. It is my pleasure to inform you that Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, which is a fraternal Order, has agreed to establish a scholarship of $150.00 a year, open only to students in the Department of SlaVonic Languages.

It is our understanding that the recipient win be determined by a university committee, headed by the Chairman of the Department of Slavonic Languages, and suppleriiented by two members of our Lodge. It is also our understanding that all scholarship 1 unds are handled through official University channels by the Bursar's Office.

We are very happy that the Czech language is offered by the University of Houston and we appreciate the opportunity to be more closely associated with the University and with our students.

Kindly bring cur wishes to the attention of Dr. W. W. Kemmerer and 'Dr. C. F. Hiller, and assure them of our sincere cooperation.

Respectfully yours, (Mrs.) F. J. Olexa, Secretary Mrs. F. J. Olexa, Secretary Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 1140 Robbie Street, Houston 9, Texas Dear Mrs. Olexa: Dr. John Skrivanek has handed me your letter of July 19th in which you advise him that Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 has agreed to establish a scholarship of $150.00 a year at the University of Houston for students of the Czech language and literature.

On behalf of the University of Houston I extend to you our sincere thanks and appreciation for this scholarship.

This will be of material assistance to a worthy student.

We appreciate also the spirit of interest and cooperation expressed in your letter. It is with the continued support and help of groups such as yours that the University will achieve its goal of service to its student body.

Very cordially yours, W. W. Kemmerer, Acting President One feels short on words. Magnanimons,' this evidence of noble sentiment from the Lodge No. 88. It is the first time that a scholarship, not a prize or an award, will be given to an outstanding student, of Czech. It will not be a handout, but a scholarship in its true sense. ) ,g, • ( The 1950 graduates are beginning to become acquainted with some of the difficulties connected with reforming the world, The average argument is threeourths heat and on.e-fourth prejudice.

Pledge Of Allegiance The pledge of allegiance to the flag— "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all —is to be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart. However, civilians will always show full respect to the fla g when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute.

The pledge was written (August 1892)

by Francis Bellamy, a member of the staff of the Youths Companion in Boston, Mass.

The family of James B. Upham—one of the owners of the Youths Companion —also claimed authorship of the original pledge for Upham. To determine, in the interest of historical accuracy and certainty, the authorship of the original pledge, the United States Fla g Association appointed a committee of three university professors to award the honor. The committee heard all the evidence submitted by the Bellamy and Upham families and unanimously decided (May 18, 1939) that the honor belonged to Bellamy.

• In our lodge meetings, the pledge of allegiance has been. placed at the be ginning of the order of business, right after the meeting is called to order.

There is a definite reason for all this.

When we were in school as youngsters, e stood up. with the rest of the children, a grcup of children cf different, parentage, and took the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States.

There were often children of Czech, German, Pole, Dutch, French, Irish, Scotch, English, Italian and Mexican ancestry. That pledge was to impress upon us our priceless heritage as free citizens of the United States. We wish to be retrinded of the fact every time we assemble for the lodge meeting. And since there are many SPJST members who became free citizens by their oWn choice, it is . appropriate that we renew pleciy,e cnce a month before we beour fraternal deliberations.

NOISE CAN DRIVE YOU CRAZY Chances are that you have not got acquainted with the word "decibel", pronounced des'-i-bel. The decibel is the usual unit for measuring the loudness of sounds. The decibel is one tenth of a bel, and is used very often in wire and radio communication. • The scientists have devised ways of determining just how much noise, or how little, if you prefer, is damaging to our welfare. Measuring noise in de grees, by decibels, Dr. E. Lawrence Smith, famous neurologist, determined that noise at a level of 60 decibels or more had a decided effect in ruining digestion. Decibels are easier to understand by comparison than by . definition.

For example, an ordinary conversation. averages 40 decibels. Normal noises in a business office will combine to create a noise that measures 50 decibels. A noisy office often hits 70 decibels. The rustle of leaves in a gentle breeze measures 18 decibels. A whisper five feet away amounts to 25 decibels. That loud radio next door probably registers 65 decibels or more. An automobile horn blasted at you from a distance of ten feet jumps the count to 120 decibels, hurts your ear, and probably . makes you mad.

Contrary to popular belief, we never completely adjust our physical, mental or nervous mechanisms to noise. No matter how familiar a. repeated sound becomes, it never passes unheard. Even when asleep, we "hear" sounds entering our bedrooms, for they register on our minds and cause unnecessary mental activity. Some sounds which experience has taught us require muscular reaction, automobile horns and the like, actually result in physical activity while we sleep. Impulses transmitted to and through the nerves by these sounds cause jumping, leg or arm movement and tossing, all adding up to uneven Sleep and loss of real rest.

Occupational deafness is becoming more and more common. As our cities become noisier, there's more deafness among road builders, bus and taxi drivers, printers and traffic policemen.

Organizations of employers and insurance groups now are analyzing this hazard and beginning to develop control techniques. Procedures include study by physicists 'of the actual and potential noise levels in big industrial plants and a careful study of an em ployee's hearing before he is assigned to a section of a plant where noise is loud and continuous. Street noises are under study in many of the large cities, with the Armour nescarch Foundation

of the Illinois Institute of Technology doing a very thorough study of Chicago street noises.

Street and traffic noises are, for the most part, nonrhythmical, and, therefore, the most annoying, as the ear cannot readily adjust to them. This gives rise to anger and other disturbing emotions. This is one of the reasons for the dire effects of noise on the delicately attuned nervous system. Not only does the continual pressure of strident sounds to which workers are exposed tend to produce irnpairment in hearing, but there also is a strain on the nervous system which leads to many mental illnesses.

Brain specialist Dr. Foster Kennedy has shown that noise has a definite and detrimental effect on the mind. In experiments at Bellevue Hospital in New York, he discovered that bursting a blown-up paper bag raised the pressure on the brain of a nearby patient higher than morphine and nitroglycerine, the two most powerful known drugs for increasing brain pressure. The paper bag explosions raised the brain pressure four times above normal for an interval of one second before returning to normal. Is it any wonder that some people can be driven to despair, to insanity, or to death by incessant noise?

There has been a steadily rising incidence of mental diseases in all civilized countries in recent years. In this country the inmates of mental institutions outnumber those in hospitals from all other causes. It is not an exaggeration to say that quite a few cases of insanity are caused by nervous systems that cannot adjust themselves to the constant bombardment of noise. Persons with emotional imbalances, or who are forced to carry heavier mental loads than they are capable of carrying, are pushed more rapidly into insanity by noise. These individuals must be cared for in public institutions, and in many instances you pay for their treatment through increased taxes.

Thomas Edison once said that city noises must inevitably grow greater and that the man of the future will be deaf.

It is true that some noises are on the increase, yet there is hope that the antinoise steps of today may prevent realization cf Edison's pessimistic prophecy.

Surveys of the most annoying noises list automobile horns, squealing brakes, city busses, cut-outs and motorcycles as among other objectionable sounds are the worst offenders. Close to the top overloud radios that belong to borne-

body else, factory whistles, riveting, pneumatic drills and noisy .games and parties. Strangely enough, barking dogs and howling cats are not considered as noisy as cartoonists often depict them.

In your community there probably are one or more groups working for noise abatement. They may be the Health Department, the Police Department, the Chamber of Commerce or the local newspaper. To a large extent they depend' on you and other citizens to tell them where there is excess and useless noise and what noises are irritating.

Don't be ashamed to complain. These organizations, with your cooperation, will help correct the situation so that you and your neighbors can have the peace and quiet to which you're entitled. Don't let noise drive you out of your head.

Mother probably isn't kidding when she admonishes: "If you don't stop that racket, you'll drive me crazy." ) • 4, • ( CHAMPAGNE WINE Originally the name champagne properly applied only to the Wine from the Champagne country of France. It is now a generic term applying to a sparkling or carbonated wine made in many countries. The chief difference in the process is that champagne is bottled before . the second .or spring fermentation, thus retaining some of the carbonated gas in the bottle. In the process, which requires many months, the bottles are stored with the neck slightly below the horizontal, and the sediment worked into the neck as they are periodically turned. In this position the corks are ioosened slightly and the gas pressure forces the sediment out. Afterward they receive wire holders around the corks, labels and decoration. It is estimated that each bottle of champagne is handled over 200 times. ) • 4, • ( PLAYING SAFE "Well, Uncle Joe," the real estate man said to an old Negro who had just paid the last installment on a small farm.

PICNIC) 144) PG These two items should not be grouped together. Yet, they go together quite often. And since we are mutually .interested in life insurance, we might as well discuss the danger that we may encounter while picnicking. First, let us lock over a story which was published in the American Druggist magazine. It starts as follows: The druggist looked at the child and then at the frantic mother. His look' was one of hopelessness, as well as pity, because the little girl was in deep coma, and the mother near collapse. He was the only medical authority in a wide area, and he had already done everything pcssible suggested by his very considerable skill and experience. He could do nothing further for lack of information. The little girl had been "stung by something in the bushes," when looking for a ball. Without knowing precisely what that "something" was, he dared not administer further, and could only hope.

Luck, however, was on his side, for the girl after undergoing twelve hours of cOnvulsions, followed first by the coma and then by violent vomiting and nausea with fever, broke out in a profuse sweat and slowly returned to normalcy. A week later she . was up and about, but her left hand and arm had erupted in a mass of ulcers and the original sting was still painful.

Slowly, these symptoms also retreated, and in a little over a month complete recovery resulted.

Nobody, including the physician who finally arrived, ever found out what had stung her, though there were plenty cf suggestions, because there could have been quite a variety of nature's little Bargias in those bushes. Moreover, unless somebody had known exactly what seecies of animal had been the cause, any but the specifically appropriate treatment might have proved more deadly than the sting.

The incidence of attacks by poisonous, animals is far greater than is popularly supposed. The case of the little girl cited above 0c-burred in a country district in Florida, but something like it could have taken place in any state of the Union, or in almost any other part of the world. The fact is that animals capable of stinging cr otherwise poisoning human beings are of almost worldwide distribution.

Their variety is amazing, and they are found in the air, on land, and in water.

Not only are there poisonous snakes, lizards, and fishes, but almost every class of animal without backbones has some members that employ venomous

She shuttled back and forth between England and America, transplanting ideas in bcth directions. She became a one-woman crusade.

By 1916 there were about 3,000 girls enrolled in the United States, and expenses were so heavy that steps had to be taken to relieve Daisy of her entire financial burden. She had already sold her pearls Voluntary contributions were sought and quickly received.

This year sees well over a million girls in the Scouts, and more than 300,000 adult leaders. As in the beginning, the average troop has about twenty members and meets once a week with a volunteer leader and her assistant.

Troops meet in churches, schools, community centers, private homes or clubrooms. The girls elect their own 'officers, plan what they will do and accept responsibility for doing it.

The World Asscciation of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts lists members in thirtyone nations. During the last war, Scouting was banned in countries invaded by the Nazis. But when these countries were liberated, the Scouts promptly emerged. In practically all cases it was found that despite oppression and reprisals on families of known Scouts, membership had grown secretly to almost double the prewar totals.

At present, Girl Scouting reaches about one girl out of every eleven of Scout age in the United States. There are long waiting lists; nobody knows how many girls might become Scouts if leaders, sponsors and meeting places were available.

Aunt Daisy died in January, 1927, of cancer. But not before she knew that everything she had. dreamed for Scouting was coming true.

Plans for the first world conference on American soil of Scouting representatives of 31 nations had been drawn up, with 1928 in view as the earliest possible date. When Aunt Daisy announced in the spring . of 1925 that she wanted it the following year, everyone connected with the project was aghast.

Nothing had been organized; it couldn't be done.

Aunt Daisy listened to the objections, then drew one of the objectors aside.

"Jane," she said, "if we don't have it next year, I won't be there." That was the first time anyone heard her speak of her illness.

It was impossible, but as a tribute to her they did it. Girls came from all over the world, living symbols of the Scouting ideal. Baden-Powell came.

Daisy greeted them all, in constant pain but radiantly happy. This was

T ER S Oklahoma City, Okla.

Dear , Follow Members: Seeing the many fine letters in our English section of our organ Vestnik, I, t000 haye,decided to send in a little contribution hoping to create some interest in our great and glorious SPJST. L: believe that Brother Hugo Freund has a line idea to reward old members with a pin of appreciation for long membership , and I feel that this would create much good will and advertising among our people to be awarded some such . recognition. I would suggest that a 25-year pin be worked 4;)tit; then a 40-year pin; and the. 50-year pin .should be. something real nice; the 25-year pin a silver one, and the 40-year whatever is, appropriate with the 50-year pin, either gold or gold plated. These pins no doubt be proudly displayed by, those entitled ,to, them and be ,,worthy• of the great SPJST who bestowed them on its • old members.

I came here in early May after accepting' employment with my former employers followed' later by the family.

While we miss hundreds of our fine friends in good old Texas, we have started to! make many new ones here.

Oklahoma, as many of you know, is one of the youngest states in• our Union with Oklahoma City as the capital. It is city of fine homes and beautiful lawns, fine . landscaping well cared for, with wide paved streets and thousands of new homes under construction in all parts, of the city. The 'older parts of the city have stately 'elm trees covering the streets almost solid, and on sunny days it is the most pleasant feeling to drive under these fine trees' with beautifully cared for yards on all sides I have ever experienced. .And as Staricek Bartos from El Campo wrote recently, the east side of Oklahoma City is actually covered with oil wells. Many are actually on the grounds of the, state capital and many can be found in yards of the residential section in , gardens or front yards.

These fields extend for miles and miles in >northea.sterly" direction from the City and. while 'I have not been out very far in that direction I understand that these wells more or less extend to Tulsa some 125 miles, from here. It is interesting to 'see the cleanliness around these wells, there is no oil odor of any kind within the city and all the ground around the .derricks is spotless with oil pumps on the go day and night.

Oklahomaf'County has the largest fruit crop they have ever had; the trees of pears, Peaches, apples and other fruit are breaking up with the weight

of fine fruit on them—this is a sight worth seeing. Also the city is noted for its many flower shops. Being a flower lover myself, I have particularly watched this, and 23rd street on which the magnificent state capitol is located has some 25 flower shops alone.

Iu conclusion I would like to appeal to you, young people, to become an active part of our SPJST. Don't just take out an insurance policy to please mother or dad but take an active interest in' the affairs of your lodge; attend meetings regularly; participate in these meetings actively; and help build it into a greater ienstitution then was invisioned by our grandads and dads many of , them who have gone to their rewards. Let's be proud of this beautiful Institution built up from scratch by those old and loyal grandads and dads for us. First, SPJST is the kind of an organization that was created over half a century ago to protect our homes from want and misery when misfortune took over in our homes and the bread winner was called to the great beyond, but today it not only does that, but also offers us an opportunity to make savings for our own old age, savings that you can make without pain, and at the same time these will give you secured protection to your family should you be taken away. Think it over, young people, become active in your lodges, take over the leadership from your dads and pilot your lodges to greater things.

You, too, will find much happiness within your heart that you are doing something worthwile and constructive for yourself and your fellowman.

One of these fine days we hope to return to Texas and again become active in the lodge of our choice and we hope to have a better opportunity in the future to do even more constructive work than we have had in the past.

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus (Editor's Note:—At first, I was almost ready to publish even the personal part of your letter, expressing your doubt whether this or that would revive some lodges. You are absolutely right that our younger members must be imbued and impressed with the spirit of fraternalism. We've practically skipped one whole generation. Some of us—including myself—have grown antiquated, fixed, and rigid, and pretty soon we'll be just as useful as mummies as far as the lodge work is concerned. We should welcome any and every new inspiration, such as yours, to create interest among the younger members. Your additional contributions will always find a place in the Vestnik and a. favorable rcsi wise. with cur leaders.)

In Memoriam EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY We, the Resolution Committee of Lodge Vytrvalost No. 138 S.P.J.S.T., in Ganado, Texas, wish to express our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family of Brother Jan B. Strouhal who passed away from our midst on August 12, 1950. He was a faithful member of the S.P.J.S.T. for 38 years.

He died at the age ,of 81 years.

Given for Lodge Vytrvalost No. 138, S.P.J.S.T. of Ganado, Texas, on the 15th of August, 1950.

Leon Srubar, John Galla, Resolution Co n oitte )• •( LODGE POKROK NO. 88, HOUSTON, TEXAS The Hlahol Dramatic Club will open the fall season with a Czech play titled "Tatinek 8e1 Na Zalety." It is a hilarious comedy and will keep you laughing through all three acts. We will have a cast of excellent actors and I know each one will do his utmost to make the play a success. In November, I hope to have an English play. I have read two excellent plays, but as yet do not know which one we shall play.

Then in December we'll have our Christmas pregram.

Our Birthday club met on the 9th of August to celebrate the birthdays of Anna Kostonilatska, Willie Mae Powell, and Frances Walla. The weather was perfect and we all went to the Stud() Park, one of the prettiest parks in Houston. Some of the youngsters went swimming in the pool, while , the kitchen committee prepared the lunch. Ed. Kadlecek got the charcoal fire started and roasted the wieners. M-m-m they were delicious -- funny how good they always taste on a picnic. The pink lemdnade tasted good, too. Those beautiful tall pines furnished the nice shade around our tables and we really did eat. That fresh air surely does give one a good appetite. During the afternoon some of the ladies played bridge.

We were sorry that Mrs. Kostomlatsky could not be present, but she had guests from El Paso. Each one of the honorees received many beautiful gifts.

Our guests were Mrs. E. L. Moore and Mrs. Ruth Elshick, Mr. Zimerman, Mr. Ed. Kadlecek, Mr. Alfred Hilsher, and Mr. Rudy Sefcik. Next month we celebrate the birthdays of Mrs. Birdie Hilsher, our president, and Mrs. Bettie Elshick.
