VfZNAM 28. Mil\ A PRO (ESlif 1AROD ll AROD C' ESK'2' miluje svobodu.

Nesnese cliouho hlavu v cizi oi hlavce. A piece ji musel po Bile hore snesti tri sta let. Ale to neznarnenalo, Ze se nebranil, Ze se smiril a uvyknul si na poddanstvi. Chvili sice horekoval pa padu sve samostatnosti a prirovnaval se k "hrdlike v drapech °rift", nebo k "oyeece v 'name vlkft", nekdy zase k "holubike smutne hleclici na sve strZene a rozhazene hnizdo", aneb k "vyplakne koroptviece". Narikal narod, Ze nepritel po jeho hrbete "oral a vldenYmi branami jezdil" sem tam, uderil celYm narodem o zem, sahl mu na nejposvatnefSi veci a strhal vkchny ochranne ploty kolem eeske zeme.

Ja tehdy hledel eeskY lid do budoucnosti nadejne a s dtiverou, Ze piece jednou phjde opet zlata, svoboda. Prijdou nove easy, protok a2 bude nejhfire prijdou blanieti rytiki, "legie", ktere nenechaji tyrana beztrestne radit. Meet S • est tisic rodin vystehovalo se za hranice, jen aby zitstaly verni svobodne tradici predkft. Potonaci jejich se jednou vrati, aby prevzali vladu lidu do rukou svYch. Tenkrat HomenskY prosil na vkch evropskYch dvorech o pomoc proti Habsburktm, a prohlakval, Ze deska Zaloba nemffZe byti atmleena Bilou horou. Ale cizinci si nakonec nev'Simali to male zemieky a vydali ji, at' si s ni Habsburkove delaji co chteji.

CelYm sedmnactym stoletim ha tato Zaloba, a celyrn osmnactYm stoletim znel prikaz, Ze narod Cesky se nikdy nesmiti s poddanstvim. A kdy i pani a zamoZna trida lidu se zp roneverili, setrval v myhence svobody ob y eejnY lid. Z tohoto chudeho lidu vze g li vzdelanci. Volali do sveta S'V'111 obrannYm hlasena. PalackY volal, Ze hanba be lohorska musi byti smyta. Havlieek volal hr omovYm hlasem proti Vidni i Berlinu. VrchlickY nedovedl jiZ snesti, aby eeskY narod vlekl se Zivotem jako trestanec s kulina noze. Desitky spisovatelft a novi naril burcovaly narod, Ze nemflk nad(11 ° "j ako pes olizovat cizi karabae NO SV011 z aschlou krvi." Zaloleno

bylo Sokolstvi, jeho skrytYm iteelem bylo yypestovat v eeskern narodu mute, jen by si svobodu vybojovali. Sokolove ukazali verejne jejich prani na Letenske plani roku 1912. Za fleasti celeho sveta naznadill sletovou scenu, "Pad tyrana", Ze doba oeskeho osvobozeni je na nedalekem obzoru.

Tyto dny osvobozeni priSly az za prvni svetove valky. Doma i v cizine pripravovala se svoboda. Tystehoval se Masaryk, stehoval se Bene§ za nim. V Parili pridal ' efanik. Ceti voja.ci prse k nim treti, S chali z rakouske armady a tvorili "legies", prorokovane pied dvema a tremi sty lety.

Anglie, Francie, Amerika a Rusko uznaly eeskeho vojaka za spojence, uznaly i Masarykovu vlaclu. Osvobozeni zazakilo na obzoru.

OkkavanY den, ten den, na kterY eekaly cele generace eeskeho lidu po tri sta rokft, koneene prisel. Uderil den 28. hina 1918. V Praze byli site nemeeti, mad'arSti a rumunSti vojaci„ ale po rakouske kapitulaci byli to jen nevitani hosts, kteri pod naporem Sokolstva mizeli. Jakmile lid zaeal jasat a zpivat, zrnizeli i velitele vojakft. VS'echny zakladny byly zabrany obsazeny eeskYm lidem a narod se stal panem syYch veci. Byla to revoluce nekrvava. Svoboda padla do klina eeskeho du jako uzrale ovoce. Lidu zbylo Met radosti a zahlazovat na ulicich a namestich v‘Secky stopy habsburske a germanske nadvlady.

Od bitvy na Bile hore uplynulo 298 let, tri stoleti. Jako svobodny narod naohl lid eesky odeiniti pordZku Bile hacy. Narod 'prestal bYt "soukromy'm majetkem" cisafe a jeho glechty. "Ja pan, ty pan", prohlasil Masaryk.

Ale nebylo to jen odeineni Bile hory.

Bylo to vyrovnani velike chyby v dejinach naroda, kdy omylem lid eeskY pozval si k vlade dynastii Habsburskou na zaeatku Aestnacteho stoleti. Po eyrecla stech letech panovani byli pani i se s yYmi prisluhovaei smeteni s trimu a vyhnani.

Pro to vk ma 28. Nen 1918 nehynouci

a nezapomenutelnY dejimay v;;znam. Je to vYznam predevS'im narodni, je to jako easovy meznik v pasmu dejin jednoho maleho naroda, meznik, kde prestalo poddanstvi a kde nastal volnY Zivot. Pro 'desky lid znamena to meznik, od nello2 zaCal malt' stab a narod stavot ye vSech slakach, hlavne kulturnich. D .)stalo se mu misto jako nekdo rovnopravny a rovnocenny mezi jinYmi narody. Proto 28. rijen byl takovYm velikYm dnem. Proto eeskY lid naslouchal tohedne Masarykovi tak vdeene a posvatne, a snaZiti si zapamatovati kaZdou jeho radu. Proto se eeskY narod chystal tak vaZne i k dvacetilete oslave sve svobody.

Lee 28. kijen 1938, den chystane narodni slavnosti, narodniho triurnfu, zmenil se Mnichovem v Zal a smutek. A o rok pozdeji bylo jests lank, a sedm rokti nic.

Jak eeskY narod slavi nyni 28. Men, tot' otazka, kterou nebudeme reSiti v dnani fivaze. Jestli po 28. rijnu 1918 zitstali mezi eeskYm lidem majitele velikYch lanit pUdy, velkotovarnici, tihlobaroni, a podobna peneZni Slechta, a jestli lid neujal se pinou merou vlady s yYch veci, tot' starest a zalelitost jejich. Jestli mel ustat eas 'Dana a otrokft heed Po prevratu v roku 1918, jak to Bolena Nemcova, Svatopluk Cech, Josef V. Sladek a jini chteli a slibovali, a jestli se tak nestalo, tot' °pet veci tamnejSiho lidu.

Pro nas, kteri jsme vysli z toho lidu, je 28. Nen historickym dnem, kdy narod PO tristaletern jarmu shodil svilj chomout. A jako moucha, sedici na velike malbe, neo celem obrazu, rovneZ maze my postradame dostateeny easovy postup, bychom mohli spravne posuzovati soueasnY narodohospodarskY a socialni vYvin eeskeho naroda. )• a a ( PribliZne posouzeno, nejsou nejchytrej§i zvIiitta dokonale vyzbrojena pro Zivotni boj Tak na priklad bubr a veela by zahynuli, kdyby se jich neujal elovek.

Kdybychom se dolili druhYch 50 let, kdy se bude psati misto 1950-2000, pak bychom sami byli prekvapeni, co v gechno se zmenilo.

Nemame se ridit cenou kolik to stoji. Snabime se gettit, ale g etrime tam, kde jest to nejmene na miste. Kdyby nekdo z nas dodal si odvahy a cestoval mezi na gimi krajany, nabizeje jim jink easopis ku predplaceni, ktery by na nikom nezavisel, jsem jist, be by byl prekvapcn kolikrat by uslylel "6 — my to nepotrebujem, my manic nag Vestnik." Na druhe strand slygime v9kliky "udrbujme si svou Pee, podporuj. me snahu ku jejimu zachovani." A tato snaha se podporuje ab Po ten $. Jak to prijde na $5.00 — v000 — jib nemam. Ze se Hajdu gek nebal konkurence — on se ji nemusel bat. On mel svou "Svobodu" a psal do ni co uznaval za dobre. On se nemaloval s nikYm.

Drazi! Timto dopisem chci podekovati ptedne vgem hercum a re2ii kteti ueinkovali v poslednim sokolskYm divadle "Komediant", kterY2to dej se narodil pied ttemi lety jests v Homtonu — jeho titulni filohu Komedianta jsem napsala pro jednoho z nejlep gich hercti v Texasu Domina Nezvala. Te gila jsem se na to 2e on v filoze to kdysi vystoupi. Jak to ale east° v to spolkove nob sokolske pray` ci bYva jednou je nalada v gechno strhnout podruhy to ochabne, neb to honba za krajicem chleba je ptednej gi, tak jsem se toho nedoeltala, a milk dej je g -tevplncjsm'adebou Dals Walla do mYch divadelnich vzpominek.

Ono se to /lady gikne jsem si myslela, a giklo, ani jsem nevedela jak ac jsem se tomu easteene branila, neb to pottebovalo korekturu a v gechny filohy opsat k Cemil2 opsani tech illoh se uvolila pani J.

Ale chtel se aspon trochu odvdecit sokol skym pracovnikum co kterY pro nej udeal, tieba vedel '2e to nedoka2e tak jak toho vac vy2adovala. Pan StranickY dobte pochopil roli "`Komedianta" v jeho dopise. Vgechny ochotnici v tato hie se einili a hrati nad svoje sily, 2adnY z nich nevedel 2e to divadlo jsem psala ja; nebo aspori tusily, mimo pani Valeikove a papa Malebo, kteti slibily mleenlivost, neb jsem si to neptala'a taky mleeli o divadle to ptiglo yen. Vgichni ty moji mil' herci vlo2ili to svoje ja, do tato hry.

Pani E. Janiekova co Milea, ktera posluchaee ptimo uchvatila svym dramatickYm podanim svoji filohy. RO2enka HejnYch jako Veru gka Matyskovic byla svym vystoupenim rortomila. 51. Shirle Ondrugkova byla v obojich baletnich eislech ptimo uchvatna. L. Gallagher dcerugka man2elti Pkevratilo yYch byla okouzlujici s ton jeji ptimerenou mimikou ke zpevu ktery zpivala.

Pani Dvotakova„ nam posledni tYden odtekla 2e ma, nemocnou dceru gku a my jsme byli L. G. za tu jeji ochotu vdeeni. Na g Robert Sill co Jenieek byl vYborny — pry zase bude hrat. Emil Hrabina se pane ptedstavil v filoze mladello doktora. Joe Janieek jako odstreeny napadnik Milai,, jiste ne2arli na tu svoji Eligku naopak se mu velice libi, kdy2 zpiva, jeji hlas se krasne ve zpevu nese. Sestra Vrlova,, br. J. Vrla, ti u2 jsou jako rutinovani herci, Miro Jureik, Zvolanek,, J. Vrla, Sebestik ti vgichni patti mezi sily na prknech jevi gto zvykly.

Te2 Franti gka Jureik nam hodne vypomohla a br. W. Hogek s lieenim a br. Podhradsky s osvetlovanim seen na jevigti.

Diky vain vgem za spolupraci od regisera a2 do napovedy kterou byla ses. B. Valeikova, te2 obecensvtu ktere se v tak yelikem poetu dostavilo.

A brzo, brzieko meli jsme i vybrane herecke sily jak pro zpevohru tak i pro Sinohru. Divadlo pronikalo vgude postupem easu a i na tom nakm venkove. Nutno ptiznati, Pe i mezi temi koeujicimi divadelnimi spoleenostmi byly velmi dobre herecke sily. Praha, jako eeskYch mast mela dosti divadel a ochotnickYch druZstev.

"U fovea buvolti. Pan Lemley me poslat zpatky s vozy." Hochovi selhal bias.

Vratila se mu v mysl smutna, vzpominka na jeho navrat, na niZ na chvili zapomnel v radosti, ze je zase doma. "Indiani nas prepadli. Oni . . zabili vozky.

KAPITOLA V. TVRDt OR,ISEK SE PROBUDI

WEST, TEXAS

Osada Tvrcl or gek odpoeivala v slunce. Apaeska Mice byla skorem opuSteno. NejakY pes pohodlne prechazel zapra§lenou cestu, nasledovan triletYm ditetem, volajicim StebetavYm hlaskem za nim.

"Pocem, Carlo, aby do tebe!"

Carlo si set svou cestou nedbaje povzneSene volani ditete. U zabradli pied vYeepy eekali trpelive kone se sveSenYmi hlavami. Z jednoho kramu kupecky piiiruei a kropici konvi polil rozpalenou ptidu prede dvermi.

Tichem zaznel nahle vYstrel. Z kyvadlovYch dveri vYeepu vybehl muZ. Byl male postavy a mel nejkrasnejSi leta za sebou. Bezel, a z hrdla mu vyraZely podivne zvuky. Nebyly to kratke, ostre vYkriky, ani volani, ani stenani, nYbr2 spi;Se spojeni vkch tech tri z yukti.

Boone Sibley se ridil zakonikem Zapadu. To byl soukromY spor. Nebylo mu tedy nic do toho. Jal se slezati na druhcu stranu vozu, aby byl kryt pried nejakou zbloudilo kulkou.

Jal se slezati, ale neslezl. Ten pes obesel zadek vozu, a za mm v pataeh trilete dite. VousatY- muZ, nedbaje ye sve

VousatY muZ se zvedl do sedu maje jednu stranu oblieeje pokrytou prachem.

Byl dosud omamen, ale vztek a dopal hlasily se jiZ v nem. Pohledl divcce na Boonea; zurivY jako tygr s napra-ZenSimi drapy. Jeho etyriaetiricitka zmizela a pro trt chvili byl bez mod.

"Kdo jste, ke vS'em 'eerttifti?" zahrmei.

Vozka neodpovedel na otazku. nYbrZ promluvil P veci. "To dite. Neviciel jste ho."

"Jake dite?"

"S tim psem Bylo ye smeru vaM by." Bcone mluvil k vousatemu, ale jeho olda pozornost byly obraceny k blilicim se mualm.

Byli to velci, hrmotni mull t yrdYch oci'a houZevnati. Meli dlouhe previsle kniry, joke byly v to dobe obyeejem.

Jeden z nich proinluvil drsne a velitelsky. Pod tiernYm knirem mel tuhY pinovcus s vyholenou bradou. Jeho asta byla prima a tenkYch rta, "To je Pravda, Curte. Nevidel jste to dite."

VousatY vstal a pristoupil dvema dlouhYmi kroky k Booneovi. "Dej-te mi to pistoli," rekl.

MladY vozk y zii po cele dvacet tri ro ky sveho veku na pohra,niei, kde bylo nutno v nena.dalem pripadu okam2ite se rozhodnouti. Poznal MuZ s .skym vousem je virdcem. Jeho Mroka ramena, mohutna, hrud', klidna sebedfivera jednarn byly dokladern sily. On sam dosud nevytahl zbrane.

MladY Sibley pohledl klidne a pevne na neho. "Nehledam spor, pane," tekl.

"Piomirite, Ze jsem se mush vrimouti na, vas, abych zachranil dite. Myslil jsem, Ze byste nechtel rtblizit tomu drobeekovi."

"Spotadain vas dfikladne," prohlasil vousatY. "Nepottebuju k tomu pistcle."

Boonefiv revolver byl na kozliku. To bylo dobte. Nemohl ho ukit, jednak proto, Ze jeho protivnik byl bete zbrane, a jednak prcto, ze jeho ptatele by byli ihn.ed po nem sttelili kdyby vytahl zbrari.

Sbihal se jik zastup lidi. Slykl poznamky a ptedpovedi. "Curt toho novaeka jiste spolkne." — "To se mfrkete vsadit!

VousatY vedi r_rudkou ranu proti mladikovi o jehok poraZce byl jilt. Boone se sehnul. udetil ho levici do tvate a odskoeil. Curt zar yal vztekem, sehnul hlavu a zafitoeil. Jeho tEke pate se mihaly jako cepy, zutive a divoce, s velkou silou.

Chvili nikdo nepromluvil, nikdo se nepohnul. Curt French mel povest nejznamenitejAilao a nejobavanej gho zapasnika v torn novem tabote.

Youth on Day

"THE WAKE: UP PERIOD"

The day of childish pranks is just around the corner. Here is an account of what one fraternal organization has been trying to do in order to substitute some constructive activity for the usual destructive pranks ordinarily exhibited on the HalloWe'en night.

For a period of some twenty years the practice—at Mooseheart, Ill,, "The Child City"—of carrying out a program at Hallowe'en time, designed to build in the minds cf youngsters the idea that it is a highly desirable quality of citizenship to celebrate the day by carrying on constructive activity. This program has proved so successful that the Loyal Order of Moose has designated October 31st of each year as "Youth Honor Day" in each cf the more than 1,600 communities where member lodges are maintained.

During the Hallowe'en period these lodges, with the cooperation of local civic and fraternal organiations, the local government and the schools of the community ; sponsor various kinds of desirable programs—such as costume parades, dances, movies, vaudeville shows and the like_ to keep the young peOple occupied in a desirable and constructive type cf activity in which all the young people could have some part, thereby eliminating the usual destructive pranks that take place in the form of vandalism of one kind or another at Hallowe'en time.

The local lodges, with the cooperation cf the school superintendents and the school principals, urge the young people to sign a pledge, on their honor, not to destroy; deface or otherwise mutilate property in any way, but on the contrary, to preserve and protect it. The results in all of the communities which have carried out this plan during the past several years has been highly gratifying.

In order to give "Youth Honor Day" added impetus and maximum strength for continued constructive results, both locally 'and nationally, the Supreme Lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose two years ago asked the Congress of the United States to recognize October 31 as "Youth Honor Day" by passing a

A HIGHLY ATL.LCTIVE "So you are taking courses at the University of Houston?" I asked the young girl after she told me that she was from Austin County. "And may I knew what you are planning to be or what your ambitions are?"

"I'm taking nursing, but my hope is to get a job as air stewardess." She knew what she was after, and the way to reach her goal.

I couldn't help but think about the children of today. Take, for instance, this charming girl from Austin County.

Her grandmother came from the old Bohemia, and all her traveling until her recent death was mostly by wagon over bumpy or muddy roads. Her grandchild wants to travel by air. Apparently there is no other job so attractive to the American girl.

What type of girls are selected for the job of air stewardess? Once I had a chance to talk to an airway executive, and I asked him how they select the girls.

"Well," he said, "to begin with every one of them has to be a trained nurse, a graduate from some big hospital. It isn't so much that we need actual Medical skill, but hospital routine eliminates all the lightweights early in the game.

It's a grand training for any girl. It teaches her to be neat as a new pin. It teaches her how to be firm, without giving offense; how to prepare meals tastefully—none of the slapdish picnic stuff. And when it comes to responsibil-, ity,she can spell it backwards. Of course, we don't disparage the other virtues. A pretty face hasn't yet been known to cause a slump in passenger traffic. But it isn't essential."

The duties of an air hostess are elastic. Normally her job is this. First, she has charge of the ship's papers, which are many; and of the company interairport mail. She has to take tickets and check baggage slips. She has to keep 'track of equipment such as blankets, pillows, and silver. Kleptomania is not entirely unknown among passengers.

She has to adjust ventilators, and keep her clientele supplied with magazines, writing materials, maps, aspirin, ash trays or matches, gum for airsickness, cotton wool for noise—whatever their fancy may happen to demand, short of pulling rabbits out of hats.

She dispatches telegrams and radios.

She is thoroughly drilled in the geography of the country over which her ship flies. If that little ridge over to the left is where Indians fell upon a train of covered wagons in 1851, her passengers want to know about it She must

serve meals at regular mealtimes. Many mothers with babies use the air transport lines in preference to trains so that they may cut down traveling time.

A stewardess is used to rolling up her sleeves, producing a bottle at the correct temperature, and going into action as a temporary nursemaid.

Airsickness, contrary to general belief, is the least of the stewardess's worries.

The percentage of airsick passengers is under five, and even that is usually caused by nervousness on the part of those who have never flown before.

As for flying—through long summer days , when the air is diamond-clear in all directions for 150 miles, the vast heart of America spreads out in a splendid panorama below. But there are other times, too, and less pleasant to remember. The gloom of winter afternoons, black overhead, queer lights reflected from the snow beneath; the dark, savage rock masses washed by swirls of snow. The passengers are nervous. The stewardess knows that up front in the cockpit the pilots are doing their stuff, steady and imperturbable as ever. But the other end, back here in the cabin; facing these anxious eyes, this is her domain, this is the human side. Smile— and make it convincing. Serve coffee and biscuits, light cigarettes, talk cheerfully, don't even glance at the windows.

The passengers relax; if a mere girl isn't worried, why should they be?

All this is routine stuff. But once in a thousand times, perhaps. the ship has to remain for a long time on a remote emergency field. Then the chic uniform and immaculate silk I) touse of the stewardess go hang, while their owner peels potatoes, tends store, and assists some farmer's harassed wife to organize the slim resources. Clean shoes and silk stockings plough through deep farmyard mud, while the stewardess tries not to let her smile appear too glassy.

It takes more than mere charm to combine flying and farm cooking, good humor and the quirks of nervous passengers, service and sleeplessness.

Any night, every night, the transcontinental ships roar across the vast width of our country. At two miles a minute they reel off those great stretches which the pioneers of another day conquered so heroically, mile by indomitable mile. It is another element, but it is still the same spirit.

The pioneer, driving his teams, trusted the stars to guide him in the cool of night. Today the pilot has radium dials and airway beacons. But stars or dials, one horsepower or 1600, poke bon-

nets or natty berets, their womenfolk have not changed intrinsically. Win or lose„ the pioneer woman sticks by the man up front. His dangers are her dangers. Her life is in his hands, and that's all right with her, too. As in the wagons, which creaked and swayed and trembled in their mile-an-hour progress, so inside these man-made titans of the air is the same text still reverenced and golden: "No back-seat driving, please." e 4 to ( CREDITS AND DEBITS According to Capper's Weekly, ett certain British army lieutenant thought himself quite Jortunate not long ago when he received his promotion to the rank of captain. The promotion was retroactive as regards pay to April 1st, 1941, but by some typing inadvertance, the date was printed "April 1st, 1041."

The lieutenant promptly wrote to the paymaster applying for allowances for his new rank covering a peziod of some 900 years. He received the following reply: "Your application . . . has been found in order under King's Regulations, and your account accordingly has been credited with the sum of 39,999 pounds.

Your letter proves conclusively that you are the sole officer surviving from the Battle of Hastings, where 20,000 horses of an estimated value of two pounds each were lost by negligence. Under King's Regulations, the responsibility for the payment of 4Q000 pounds therefore falls on you, the sole survivor. I have accordingly adjusted you.,' account to the extent of a net debit of one pound." ) • 4m 'TWAS TOO GOOD Poking about in a public library lastweek a young lady ran across a book that aroused her immediate and intense interest when, on the title page, she encountered this encouraging assurance: HOW: To Reach Men To Hold Men To Teach Men o Win Men It Has Been Done Unfortunately she was considerably let down by a clump of type at the bottom of the page: "Tells How to Run Your Bible Class.

Strana 21

Son i 4oise Necessary Man, beast and machinery are given to making noise. Much of it is unnecessary however. Noise is hard on the nervous system and it helps to cut down man's efficiency in doing his best work.

A great deal has been done in the field of noise abatement. In some cities the use of the automobile horn has been reduced to zero. Progress has been made in reducing the noise in machinery.

People have welcomed the noiseless typewriter, electric fan, electric motors and other smooth running Machines, It is probably humanly impossible to get rid of all noise, and it would, no doubt, be a calamity if it were done, for a totally silefil world would be unbearable, the psychologists say. May be in the Divine plan some noise is a blessing in disguise.

A story is told of a poor unfortunate man who lived near a railroad yard in the suburbs of a large city. He made a complaint in a letter to, the railroad authorities about the constant racket of the switch engine. His complaint and letter to the railroad management follows: 4 `Gentlemen: Why is it that your switch engine has to ding and dong and fizz and spit and bang and hiss and bump and chug and hoot and whistle and toot and wheeze and jar and jerk and bowl and snarl and puff and growl and thump and boom and crash and pant and grate and grind and puff and jolt and screech and snort and slam and throb and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and smell and shriek like h-all night long?"'

After due deliberation the local railroad management replied with the following letter: "Dear Sir: Sorry, but if you are to get meats and sweets, and breads and spreads and beans and jeans and shorts and skirts and cakes and rakes and socks and locks and dippers and slippers and lotions and notions and hooks and eyes and cherry pies and candy bars and nuts in jars and sugar and spice and everything nice to make you happy all your life—you'll just have to put up with the noise of railroads."

Social Life in Snook (Continued) 2. Social Distance: Since the residents of the community have their own organizations and agencies in which the Czech language is used, other ethnic groups, do not play a significant role in most of Snook's organizations and gatherings. Both the Czech and the Anglo-American groups attribute to themselves a certain kind of superiority which generates an underlying feeling of social distance. In the main, however, the relations of the two groups are marked by friendliness, and some of the barriers which have existed `between them in the past have been broken down.

Since the Czech's contact with the Negro is relatively infrequent, the race question is not pronounced in Snook.

The farmer's failure, howeVer, to Make a clear differentation arriOng , the Negro, Mexican, and native white labormi has caused the native white to criticise the Czech. Although the distinetion between the Negro and the Czech is very clear, the younger people appear to be more sympathetic toward the Negro than are either their fathers or grandfathers.

It is still difficult to discern any clearcut class structure in Snook even today.

While some elements of stratification do, exist, the class structure is not formalized, and the average Czech thinks in terms of all of the members of his own .ethnic group as being members of the in-group, opposed to all outgroups. Here, then almost the same condition prevails as was found in the earliest days of Snook's development.

3. The family: The family in Snobk functions not only as a social but also as an economic unit with strong familial ties. Through a delegation of responsibilities, each member, of the family is made to feel that he is a vital part of the group. The strength of this cohesive influence is reflected by the fact that not one youth has ever run away from home and that juvenile delinquency is relatively unknown.-In fact, the family is so closely integrated in Snook that even cousins feel a close kinship tie, and if one of the group becomes inyolved in,any trouble or difficulty, he can depend upon them to help him uphold the family name. The children are normally well-mannered and are taught that hard work, thrift, politeness, and honesty are virtues that every young Czech should possess. Some parents have reported various changes in these traditional behavior patterns.

One such observation. concerns their shifting interest from farming to school

work, since many of the children realize they may not be able to farM when they grow up. When they advance beyond the sixth or seventh grade and the parents are no longer able to help them with their lessonS, a few of them tend to look upon their parents as being backward and uneducated — thereby diminishing the prestige-rating of the latter.

Snook's residents are married and widowed in higher proportions than are the white rural residents of Texas and they also possess a lower proportion of single divorced people. In fact, separation and divorce are practically unheard of in the community. The only resident divorcee was formerly married to an Anglo-Saxon girl during the recent war.

Informants in the community could not recall a single case of divorce that had taken place between two of its residents, although data were obtained concerning five cases of divorce involving natives who had subsequently migrated to and married in urban areas. None of the marriages . between Czechs, with the exception of these six cases, which were of the mixed type, has resulted in either divorce or separation. Overt martial and familial conflicts are rare, mainly because of the accepted authoritarian position of husbands and fathers.

Snook's mothers have borne an average of 3.96 children. But the average declines with each successive generation, , with the- wives who are - partners in mixed marriages' bearing' the least number of children.

4. Religion and Religious Activities: Of the 228 people who are 15 years of age and over in . Snook's pOpulatidn 80.3 per cent are Czech--Moravian Brethren; 9.7 per cent are .Catholic;- 5.3 per cent are Pentecostal; 2.6: per cent are Free Thinkers; and 2.1 per cent belong to other denominations. Since such an overwhelming ;proportion of the population is Czech-Moravian, the disPlission of religion is primarily devoted to the activities and changes that have taken place :in this particular denomination. This church exerts a strong influence on community affairs. Religious services are held 20 times each year and revival services are.held- one week each summer, The congregation --is too 'small and the number of pastors in the Unity are too few for the Czech-Moravians to have a resident minister. Consequently, the itinerant pastor, with a circuit of 12 churches, can spend only a limited time ministering to the religious needs of Snook's residents. The church sponsors several organizations, Among these are a Sunday School, a .Ladies' Aid Missionary.Society, a Vacation Bible School, a Young People's Union, a Sunday

Strana 23

School teacher training school known as the Hus School, and Benevolent Society. (The Hus School which is located at Temple, Texas, is named after Jan Hus, the Czech reformer. It is recognized as the official school in which Sunday School teachers from all congregations belonging to the Unity are trained.) It is difficult to overestimate the value of these organizations in the cultural and social life of the Czechs.

In fact, one might go so far as to say that they are a Czech design for American living.

A number of changes , have occurred in the church and in its practices during the past few years. A time-honored custom, associated with the religious service, is for men and women to sit on opposite sides of the church. In recent years, however, some of the young brides in the community began sitting with their husbands, but under no condition will the husbands reciprocate.

Furthermore, the custom of first serving Holy Communion to men now has been reversed—thanks to the , chivalry of the minister.

The older people have made strenuous efforts to retain the Czech language in the church. Gradual changes and compromises, however, have resulted in an ever-increasing use of the English language. For example, 16 services are conducted in Czech and 4 are -in English, yearly. Of the six classes taught in ,Sunday School, only one (the adult class) is now conducted in Czech.

At the present time, the order of songs is alternated when the Sunday School students' sing hymns during their assemblies, i. e., the first song is in Czech, the second in English, etc. Instruction in the Vacation Bible School is in English only, and the Hus Schpol is conducted entirely in English with the exception of the singing of one Czech song each day. Since the .membership of the Ladies' Aid Society and the Benevolent Society is made up mainly of Older people, all business meetings are in CzeCh. A' poll of language prefe.rence for q'hurch ,services revealed that slightly more than mic-half prefer Czech. Al. of the first generation members were favorable to Czech, while three-fourths of the :'ec.o).cl and less than one-half of the third generations nained this language as their preference.

English is slowly replacing Czech not only in the church, but also in other phases of community life. The results of another survey diselosed that the .

Czech language still predominated in Sncok's homes but that it is being gradually replaced by English.

LETTERS LODGE SAN ANTONIO NO. 133 Brothers and Sisters: Those of you who were absent from our last meeting Oct. 8, will be glad to learn that we had a pretty good turn out after it seemed at first there would be but a few of us present. Late corners gradually filled the hall which naturally made the officers feel that, after all, there is interest among our members for the progress of our lodge.

Discussions on many subjects were numerous, among them being the matter of additional organizers to build up our membership. I am, proud to say there was no need of coaxing any one to accept such needed valuable work.

The attendance was requested to willingly, of their own free will, take on the service of organizers. Immediately four hands went up to volunteer. Such spirit deserves commendation, for it is our willing workers who do the lodges the most good. They are the last to say "that's tco much work." More power to them. I will reveal their names later.

It was agree that the lodge request brother Marek, President of our Order, to come here to give our organizers instructions as to the various policies and whatever is needed which they should know. I haven't heard from that at this writing. A suggestion was made to have a Christmas program, and Sister Kleprlik took upon herself the task of arranging for a place to hold rehearsals and the get-together of the participants. The International Club, where there are facilities for practice, has promised the second and fourth Mondays for our use, and it is free.

Mothers of children who would like to appear on the program are urged to get in touch with Sister Kleprlik, telephone C-1176 or come directly to the Club either second or the fourth Monday of the month.

We are lucky to have among us members like Brother and Sister Kleprlik, who strive to help us bring about more interest among our members to the end that they will feel more like coming ,to the meetings when they are assured there shall be entertainments besides the regular meetings, and this would also be free. I feel assured that if every one of, us back the entertainment idea and more social gatherings, we shall grow. Lots of work, you say? Yes, but there are among us those who are willing to work provided we back them and lend, a helping hand. I haven't seen anything accomplished without work.

Before the conclusion of the meeting Brother Josef Marek stood up and ask-

VASTNtS—WEST, TEXAS ed, "How about that S. P. J. S. T. Hall?"

Don't forget to come to the meeting Nov. 12.

Fraternally yours, Sylvester Bundil )•& •( LODGE STLEANIK NO. 142 Hello: Hope everyone is feeling just fine this morning for I thought I'd slip in a little gossip and an invitation.

The Stefanik Lodge is giving a Hallowe'en Carnival with Bing, Fish Pond, etc., on Saturday, Oct. 28th. There will be a Czech Goulash and Dumpling Supper beginning at 5 p. m. So, dear friends, take. Saturday evening off.

Don't prepare your evening meal at home; just drive to Stefanik Lodge 5508 Nolda St., and indulge in some of Sister Anna Vaja's delicious dumplings as well as goulash.

We are getting new Czech records and are going to dance by the Juke Box. Several members have announced that they will assist, the music with selfimprovised musical instruments such as wash boards, saws, tubs, bazookas, etc. Bro-ther-r-r, I bet that's going to be music out of this world. Seriously, we want to have lots of good clean fun. Come in costumes if you so desire.

Anyway,, I hope I'll be seeing all of you grand folksies there.

Just in case you haven't heard, we had a grand visitor and his family from California the past two weeks. Bro. Stanley . Ungrad, his charming wife, Shirley, and lovable daughter, Angelica, came to Houston to visit Stan's parents, Bro, and Sister William Ungrad, Sr. Sister Ann Ward has gone to Chicago for two weeks special nurses' Training.

In between classes she will visit an old family friend, Mrs. Mary Pivoda, and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sebek. Perhaps on her return, she will give us an interesting .account of her visit.

Bro. and Sister Charlie Chupik and their two little Chupiks, Charlie Jr. and Tommy, spent several days at Waco, visiting relatives and enjoying the beautiful autumn weather there.

We are very sorry to hear of the unfortunate accident of little Gene Ermis, who was hit by a car on Super Highway on Oct. 15th. Hope he is well on the way to recovery. Stefanik Lodge sends best wishes.

Hoping that each and everyone of you are in the best of health. I'll sign of until next time.

As ever, Amelia (Vaja) Sturm )• • Don't worry, Mary—pop doesn't really give the bride away. If he did, none of the girls would ever get married.

Wednesday, October 25 1050 LODGE JARO, NO. 130 Dear Readers: Just a short note to bring to your attention Lodge 130's meeting which will be held November 5th. At this meeting it is the desire of our President that a Nomination Committee be set up. So don't make plans for the 5th, but come by the Sokol Hall, 3700 Carl St. at 3:00 P. M. and see what's going on in your Lodge.

Also a reminder that December is election month. It is important to you to be there. Your officers are your leaders and only you are the judge of who is the best leader. It doesn't take much work to handle any of the offices, so if you feel up to it, come around the November meeting and let thCommittee know that you "want to."

Usually at the December meeting, a lot of our members pay their premiums fcr the year. It's a good habit, regardless what month you choose. However from the bookkeeping standpoint, it is easier on the- officers if you pay in December or January.

• So don't forget you have three important first Sundays before you .. .

November 5th, December 3rd, and JanRary 7th, 1951. Hope to see you at all three.

Hattie Sebetka, Reporter ) • 4, e LODGE POKROK HOUSTON, NO. 88 Just a few more days and you'll be seeing the funniest comedy of the year.

All the roles are excellent and they are in the hands of capable actors. Joe Anton, who plays the part of a wealthy retired sausage-maker, will, I am willing to bet, steal the show. Frances Olexa, who plays his wife, and who wants her daughter to marry someone with a title, will lead him a close second.

Wilhelmina Simecek, who plays the part cf the devilish younger daughter, will also score a hit. When Wilhelmina first started playing with us about 3 years ago, she barely could read Czech and had no training in acting. Now she reads Czech fluently and has become a very good actress. Which goes to prove that being in plays is very educational.

Birdie Hilsher, who plays the older and married sister, has also come a long way. Birdie is at her best when she has a singing part. Tim Kastome, who will play the part of her husband, is a natural-born comic. He doesn't have to say a word when he walks out on the stage. His facial expressions have the audience in an uproar in no time. Tommy Buzek, our new player and the hero of the play, is a handsome young man with dark . curly hair and large brown eyes and a cute .mustache.

Wednesday, October 25, 1950. bet there'll be a lot of "Oh's and Ah's" from the womenfolks in the audience when he walks out on the stage.. Jerry Ermis, who plays the part of the butler, and who is always "snitching" a drink, will keep you laughing thru the whole play. Gusta, the maid, is played by yours truly, who invites her boy friend up when the family is away. However, the family returns unexpectedly and Gusta has a time trying to hide her boy friend. Charley Cerny plays the boy friend. He is a splendid actor and also takes part in the English plays. Amos Kadlecek, who plays the part of the Maharadja's prime-minister, is a very good player and has an excellent stage voice. I will not reveal who the Maharadja will be. You'll have to come and see for yourselves.

The place—Lodge Pokrok No. 88 Houston,:—the date, Oct. 29th—the time 3:00 p. m. We will start promptly at 3 p. m. as Judge C. H. Chernosky will be cur speaker before the play, and Elsie Dobesh will entertain us with some beautiful Czech songs Then will come our play, "Tatinek sel na zalety." After the play, you may go downstairs for refreshments and at 7:30 p. m. we will dance the Beseda. Naomi Kostome will play the piano for the Beseda, and will accompany Elsie Dobesh for her singing. For those who wish to come early, a delicious dinner will be served at 1 p. m.

Note to all Hlahol Dramatic Club members: Our meeting will be held Nov. 2 at 8 p. m. Please keep this in mind, so I won't have to call each and every one.

Don't forget our Hallowe'en Dance on the 31st of Oct. Ray Krenek's Orchestra will play for the dancing and prizes will be given for the fanciest, funniest and tackiest costumes.

Although the day was threatened by rain a grand throng of people turned out for the all day celebration. Chicken dinner was served at dinner time. At two o'clock in the afternoon a Toni Thumb "Wedding" was put on by the tiny tots of the Lodge.

Games and refreshments were in store for everyone. A dance that night topped off the day's entertainment.

November 11th means Armistice Day to all. Americans and also another gala celebration to be held at the S. P. J. S. T. Hall. The American Legion, Post 39, at Taylor, and the SPJST Praha 29 will stage a celebration jointly throughout the Armistice Day. These two great

organizations plan to start the day off with a turkey dinner. Varied types of entertainment will be put on in the afternoon, including some noted speakers. Kolaches and cake will be made for this event. Refreshments, eats, games will be on hand throughout the day.

The Armistice Day program once was thought of as a World War I veterans observance, but is becoming more an observance to honor America's fighting men and women of all wars.

A committee meeting will be held Oct. 25 to discuss further the plans and details of the program.

The members of all Lodges are urged to attend this program and put it over in a big way.

Edwin Malish. )•&•( LODGE KAREL HAVLICEK NO. 4 Dear Sisters and Brothers: Since no one is writing, I feel that I should report as to what happened on October 8th, the second Sunday of the month. We had a very large gathering at our meeting. Two of our Brothers got together and celebrated their birthdays. It was Brother Henry Muenster and Brother Anton J. Kubena. Brother Muenster is local beer agent, and Brother Kubena is a funeral director. So what did they do? Well, they got their heads together and donated the refreshments. And our good S ist ers brought baskets filled with all kinds of good eats. To make it still more enter taining, Mikush Brothers and Galetka: Brothers furnished the music. That was one of our few meetings well enjoyed, for everybody had enjoyed it to the limit.

Also at that meeting we admitted eight new members and will have four or five for this coming meeting. We are doing all we can to get all good people to be with us as SPJST members.

It doesn't make any difference as to what occupation they may have, for we have with us our postmaster, Brother Sam Dewall, banker Cohn, county judge Fertsch, county clerk Strauss, also state senator Strauss, county attorney Boethel, county assessor and collector Smolik, county treasurer Mikulenka, county democratic chairman Allen, public weigher Stanzel, also newly elected commissioner Brown, also constable Strauss, and Dr. C. T. Dufner.

So that is just to show that we have insurance to please anybody and everybody.

I am sorry that no one from our Lodge is writing to the English , Section.

I am kind of late to take this duty upon myself, but the old saying is "better late that never." Well, it won't be long and we will have our election of of-

ficers. We may have it at our next regular meeting if the weather is good and we get a large attendance. So be sure you come, one and all, to every meeting.

Reporter Lodge No. 4 (Editor's Note:—It would be very helpful to your Lodge Karel Havlieek No. 4 if the members see the advantage of having a regular reporter and elected you to that responsible post. You could then sign your name in full, or you could, sign as you do now, but you would be the official spokesman of your lodge. Kindly ask Brother Chas.

Holy, your Lodge secretary, to check with some of your lodge mempers, mentioned above, if they get the official paper. A Jew months back, Senator Strauss was not receiving his copy. We want every SPJST member to be interested in his organization, and we try to make the Vestnik to be a welcome visitor every week. —Many thanks.) )•&• COWS GO TO SCHOOL WHEREbring the cows In Los Angeles, they bring to the school so that the city kids could see for them4elves where the milk comes from. Since many children living in Los Angeles can't get to the country to see the cows and the chickens, the school authorities in Los Angeles have decided to bring the cows and chickens to the kids!

Its a part of a unique experiment in agricultural education which first got underway four years ago when a mobile dairy unit—a cow and a calf on a truck —made a trip around to different schools in the Los Angeles area.

The kids were so excited by the idea that today, three more units have been added. Besides the dairy unit, there are a barnyard animal group, a flowering plant unit and a wildlife group which has coyotes, wildcats, badgers and stuffed birds.

Says one Los Angeles teacher, "Nobody plays 'hockey' on the days the animals come!" )• 4 • Many a man has roamed the streets late at night without a reason. If be could think of one he would have gone home earlier.

Telling lies is not the same as writing, fiction, and is not a good preparation for writing fiction. It is, on the contrary, one of the most dangerous of all possible faults of character. Some children do show an unusual tendency towards lying, but in such- eases parents should use extraordinary means to check and overcome it. If they do not, or if they promote the habit, by laughing about it, they will find their child growing into an insufferable adult. He will be a braggart, a hypocrite, and perhaps a "con" man and a scoundrel.
