Nag Vestnik v posledni dobe ptinagi pokyny, 2e je tteba zlep git nagi Jednotu.

Ceti jsem, ze Vestnik je prilis drahY a sjezdy jscu piin g drahe. I se stanovami je p •ilig velike vydani ka2cle etyti roky. Jsou jegte jingi vydani, ktere jsou zbytedne, to u2 minulost dosveddi. Utracet penize, ktere ptijdou zpatky samy, neni gkoda, a tak je tteba zmeny. Vim, 2e sjezdy nagi Jednoty jsou vedeny po bratrsku (a2 na ty ob2aloby), ale take eita,m, ze mnohem poeetnej gi elenstvem a bohat gi jednoty odbudou za dny sjezd, ale na ge maid, chuda Jednota potkebuje lest dni.

Tu je tteba velike zmeny. Ty tady, ktere u2 patnact a dvacet rokfi zmiraji, tady, ktere nemaji ani tucet elena, a ani jedine schilze za cely rok, za jakYm fidelem takove tady vysilaji delegaty do sjezdu? Myslim, 2e sto delegatii vykona tak dobrou praci a dtive, nali tti sta delegatti.

Stanovy jsou dobre, a jen ty elanky, ktere budou zmeneny ye sjezde, by se mely natisknout na stranky papiru velikosti' nynej gich stanov, tak aby to bylo snadne ptipevnit do nynej gich stanov.

Papir je drahY, tu by se take ugettilo.

Kdyby se Vestnik pozmenil, TiskovY vYbor by take nebylo tteba.

Tyto penize u gettene by se mohly upottebit na zaplaceni rodniho poplatku pro ka2cle zdrave ditko na dvaceti splatkoyou tabulku, s dorozumenim rodieti, 2e po uplynuti jednoho roku budou pojistky platit sami.

Ale zdalo se, to klasicka cesta k hvezdam negla hvezdnatYmi vodami. KdyZ dcpadli, nebylo slykt Zadneho Aplouchnut, ale jen prudkY naraz.

Kdyt byl mladik koneene schopen zase vydechnout, poeal se rychle ptat na jeji telesnY stay.

1VIladik se pokusil jakYmkoliv zpftsobem vstat, zaboken at po kolena do make baZiny. Pak si, sedi, pustil levou rukou divku a poloZil si ji tak na rameno.

V jine kapse, v hluboko naeechranYch suknich, meta divka malt' balieek papirt. I ty kapitan Gailliard profesionalne vzai.

Divka byla stale v bezvedomi, kdyt ji znovu zdvihl z kluzIcYch, koreny porostlYch a spletitYch batin.

Kdyt vylezl po svahu k teleznienim kolejim, zahled1 stanieni svetla jen kratky cesty odtud; a co ho zajimalo jeMe vice, byly lampy, jet hotely na zadnim vagone stojiciho vlaku.

To byl jiste jejich vlak, kterY stal je'Ate ye stanici. A byl to i jejich vtiz, kterY byl posledni. tadny jinY vlak neprejel.

Zadni ploMna spaciho vozu byla at u nastupfae. Mladik pre el na druhou stranu vozu, kde byla reka, vylezl nahoru se svYm nehybnYm bremenem, otevrel zadni clvirka a vstoupil do trnaveho, prazdneho vozu., jent zapachal olejem a kourem.

Zde staly jejich tri zavazadla tak, jak je tu nechali. Ale eernoSsIcY sluha ustlal jejich obe latka.

Jack Gailliard polozil vyzvedaelcu cislo 13 na kcle pokrY yky spodniho lritka a polotil ji polgtat pod hlavu, na kterem mela dosud svilj malY rortomilY klobeueek s kvetinami.

S tak nebezpeenou divkou rnohl udelat pouze jedine, nechtel-li ji , ihned opustit, anit by zvedel, jak vane byla zranena. Ale nemohl se k tomu odvatit.

Vahal; a jeho chlapecka var byla velmi eervend a ruce nejiste, kdyt ji sundaval trevieky, podvazky, puneochy, klobouk a blrizku, pinou blata, a batin.

Ale nyni si byl pine vedom nebezpeei z teto tak vynalezave a zhoubne 'Made teny; a rozhodl se, to ji vysvlekne, z opatrnosti, aby ho ihned nestihala, jakmile prijde k sobe.

Koneene dokoneil s velilcymi rozpaky to, co si preds.evzal a prikryl ji prosteradlem a prikryvkou; a jeji Aaty na horejS1 luzko, aby na ne nemohia dosahnout. A pak vytahl z jeji taStieky malou, plochou lahvieku, kterou tam zahlecil a prilotil ji ji pod hezkY, malt' nos.

Diveina reakce byla talc nahla a prudte to mladika at zarazilo; nahle vdechla a prudce si sedla, podivav'Si se na neho s poplagenou poddajnosti.

CHLAPECKA LETA EIWARDA BENES Je pozoruhoclne, ze Matej 13eneS vAechny sve chlapce poslal do Skpl. TotVZ vSechny, kteri do ni chodit chteli. Jan, kterY se uZ, nechtel licit, odmitl slohZit v takouske armade a odjel do Ameriky.

I3edrich byl poslan do obehodni Skoly.

Lac{Isla y vychodil prtimyslevou Skolu.

Vaclav a Vojta studovali na ueitele.

Je pozoruhodne, co vSechno tento zemity sedlak pro sve syny udelal. Chtel aby se jeho deti clostali do sveta, a proto jim dal dcstateene vzdelani, aby se v nem mohly uplatnit. To ovSem neznamenalo, ze jemu samemv,.un v jeho Zivotni praci nee° podstatneho schazelo. Mel vsechno, telt° potreboval: rozhcdnost, silne telo a lasku k pude.

Postupem easu a po letech tuhe prate mold Matej TiozmnoZit svuj majetek: koupil si kone a vuz, na konec i cihehatt.

SyYm konem a vczem vypomahal praci jinym a i tak vydelaval penize.

Neeekal vSak vklycky na to, aby mu za ni bylo zaplaceno. Byl hotov kdykoliv pomoci sousedu, kte •Y onemocnel, nebo mel smulu v podnikani; od takovYch si nevzal nit. Jezdil nakupovat do Plzne, kde obstaraval i nakupy a zalelitosti syYch koZlanskYch sousedu.

Mate] byl nspeSnY ye svem svete a kaZdY si ho vaZil. Neprijal vSak Mdity verejnY Arad. Nehodil se k takovYm y ecem. Vypravuje se, ze KalanAti, kdy jednou za starostovy nepritomnosti prijel do vesnice nejaky idednik z Vidne, nalehali, aby velkeho pana privital Matej. Tato „recepce" path k historii KoHan: KdyZ tento velkY pan prijel na, koZlanske namesti, 1VIatej tarn na neho eekal v pevnem postoji, ztrnuly, mleenlivY. Ani se neuklonil. Jen stal a stal, aZ se velikan dopalil, vskoeil do koedru a rychie odjel a nadosmrti uz KoZlantim svou prizen neprojevil. Matej se ovSem obratil na podpadku a.vratil se na pole. Udelal, oe ho sousede poladali; no druhe se to uZ" nestalo.

Dayno pied tim, nez Edvard vychodil koZlanskou skolu, bylo rozhodnuto, vstoupI do Skol v Praze. Vaclav myslil, ze by mel chodit na prtimyslovku, a Vojta s tim souhlasil. Edvard tedy odjel do Prahy, kde bydlil tri roky s bratrem Vaclavem. Ale prtimyslovka byla prepinena, a tak zaeal Edvard chodit na pralskem predinesti Vinohradech do gymnasia, vYborne to Skoly, ktera pripravovala hochy na universitu.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, when our SPJST held its 12th quadrennial convention at East Bernard, one of the then committeemen working on By-laws got an inspiration. Why should the committee on By-Laws be appointed only shortly before the convention? Why couldn't there be a body which would carry on the study of By-laws from one convention to the succeeding convention? So it was suggested that the current convention select nine delegates who would carry on the work up to and through the session of the following convention.

The idea was favorably accepted.

since our next convention is to be held in Houston in June 1952, the committee must convene not later than sometimes in March of 1952 or the early part of the month of April, in order to deliberate and decide on all the recommendations received. After the meeting, the committee would have to publish in the Vestnik all those changes adopted and approved by the committee.

accepted, the Committee will publish it in the Vestnik and will also present it to the convention. If rejected, the proponent cf any rejected recommendation has the right to bring the rejected recommendation on the floor durinl the deliberation of that article of "Bylaws to which his recommendation is rclated.

ALL IN ALL, it is a step in the right; direction to shorten the lengthy discussion at the convention. It reminds one of the time when Thomas Jefferson returned from his mission in France and George Washington discussed with Jefferson the newly adpoteaXonstituticn of the United States, Jefferson did not like the idea of two distinct legislative houses of Congress. "Why do you pour your coffee in a saucer?" asked Washington.

"To cool it off," replied Jefferson as he poured the coffee back in the cup.

"Those two branches of Congress are intended for the same purpose—to ccol and to moderate any hasty proposition," explained Washington. * GREETING CARDS were received by the editor from Brother V. Straznicky and his family vacationing in the Pro, vinee of Alberta, Canada. Bro. Straznicky promised to tell the Czech readers of the Vestnik of his trip through the Rocky Mountains and across the Canadian border. We will appreciate his report.—Another card of remembracne was sent to the editor from Riverside, California by Brother Joe Kalousek and his wife, of Houston, who are visiting their younger son, Sgt. Joe E., and his young wife, stationed at March Air Base, score 50 miles frOm Los Angeles. Brother Kalousek is past president of Pokrok Houston Lodge who had served, in that capacity while the present lodge hall was being built and the debt slowly paid off—Also several cards were received from Ft. Stockton, Davis Mountains, and Big Bend National Park from our son Johnnie, his wife and daughter, from their vacation trip in West Texas.

Sincere thanks for the remembrances.

FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, those nine members composing the committee' contacted one another by mail and decided to hold the meeting of the By-laws Committee on the 9th of FebTHREE YEARS AGO, when the 15th ruary, in West, Texas. Someone may say convention was held in Fort Worth, nine that the time selected by the committee delegates were again elected whose as- is too far in advance of the actual consignment was to recommend changes of vention.

ONLY IN AMERICA Read this unusual story and be grateful that you live in the United States.

Would you agree with the title?

Maria stood in the crowd and did not feel its elbows and knees. She didn't see the- big white dome of the massive building , or hear the thump of the band music which strutted through the chill January air. There was no barbed wire in the streets, no machinegun posts manned by the Security Guards like those she had so often seen at home on the other side of the Atlantic. But she was not aware 'of their absence. Her simple wool coat could have been thicker, but the shivers that shook her thin body were not born of the cold. In her dark intense face. her eyes were large and lovely and filled with terror, and they saw only one thing: the image of Ed, who had walked away from her only a minute ago.

A minute! Ten minutes, thirty? Maria gave the sparkling tiny little watch on her wrist a glance of love, not noticing the time, softly repeating to herself the words engraved on the back of the case.

But the words did not blot out the horT, ror that was in her mind: the knowledge that Ed had committed a crime against the State. Now, when she'd been in this strange, new country less than a week, she'd learned this terrible thing. Her Ed had placed himself outside the law.

How casually he had told her what he had done, grinning as he spoke. In a moment, the grin had changed to a frown, as he dug his hands deep down in his poekets.

"Now I've done it," he groaned. "Left the cigarettes in the car. You stay right here on the edge of the crowd. Don't moVe and I'll be back in a jiffy."

How long had she been here, waiting intbly? "I must make a plan," she Whispered to herself desperately. ' ,,Far'- in the distance, a siren howled, faint as the cry of a young bird. A little gasp of expectation rippled through the crowd in the street, and up on the platform built over the white stone steps a â&#x20AC;˘ -bareheaded man in black robes suddenly . 'appeared among the figures in glittering uniforms and fur coats. ;"Chief 'Justice," said a man standing near Maria. "He swears him in."

Maria did not hear. She was with Ed again,- this time as. she had first seen him, on the street of her ruined town in Europe, walking swiftly toward her past the piles of rubble. A slim figure in khaki, with a long, alert face full of vitality and quick sympathy.

She was wearing the tiny gold locket again, that day. It bad been safe to take it out of hiding then. "It brings good

By ROBERT TROUT luck," her mother had said, as several generations of her family had said before her. But it had not brought enough good luck to save Maria's mother from following her father into the concentration camp.

Ii did bring luck the day that Ed stopped before her crumbling doorway, when he looked down into her large brown eyes and said, "It's all right now, Miss. We're here." The best luck of Maria's life, almost good enough to erase the terror that brooded constantly in the back of her dark head, ready to pounce whenever she thought of the concentration camp.

The luck had to end. The long, golden hours of that wonderful summer had to fade into autumn. Ed had to leave. But before he left, standing close, he had said," "It may take a long time, Baby, but I'll get you across that ocean. Never forget that. We'll be together and this time for good."

The months alone had stretched into years with little to do except stay alive and improve her English with the books he had left, and wait for his letters. Maria thought of his letters as lamps, throwing a cheerful light along the dark corridor of the months. She read them over until they came apart in her small hands. Then she carefully copied them on fresh paper to read again. And one day a cable came, as she knew it would, Ed had met her at the airport in,New York. Was it really less than a week ago?

When she stepped 'off the transatlantic plane, he had been waiting on the field, with his wedding gift for her, the watch, in one of his outstretched hands.

"All right, folks! We're going to take your picture with the Capitol dome in the background. Now, give us a great big cheer." It was a newsreel man, standing on the roof of an automobile beside his tripod, shouting to the crowd through the megaphone he had made of his hands.

A cameraman smashed a flash bulb with a report like a rifle, jerking Maria's head in his direction as abruptly as if he had pulled her on a wire. The crowd, too, stiffened at the sound, then ,relaxing broke into a giggle.

There was no laughter in Maria's throat. Only a gasp, as, for the first time, she really saw the people who stood close, looming above her. All at once she knew she was alone, in the midst of a crowd, and Ed needed her. Standing on her toes, twisting her neck, Maria tried to look between the heads, beyond them.

"He said stay on the edge, and I

didn't", she thought wildly, and began to push frantically between stolid bodies, murmuring apologies in a voice she struggled to keep level. She stumbled and stopped, abruptly unaware of the woman she had stepped on. For a small instant she did not breathe. Then the light flickered back into her brown eyes, and the life crept back into her heart.

There was Ed, yards away, taller than those around him, his worried eyes probing the crowd.

"Ed!" Maria spoke the name to herself in a sigh of vast relief. But before the sigh had quite ended, the ice fumed on her heart again. Next to hiin, his broad face expressionless under his blue cap, stood a policeman.

It was over then. They had caught him already! They would take him away from her forever, as they had taken her mother and father. They would lock him up for the rest of his life because of his crime against the State. Maria felt her shoulders sagging, aiid the terror that was once banished to a remote corner of her mind now blazed furiously in her eyes. The concentration camp, she thought.

Pressing her lips tightly together, she pulled her thin body erect. Then, with a quick movement of her right hand, she dragged the watch from her wrist. For a moment she held it tenderly, face down, reading the small, engraved words: "Maria, My Bride, From Ed." Then, stooping swiftly, she placed the watch carefully on the street, face up. Deliberately, she rested the heel of her shoe on the watch crystal. Then she twisted her foot.

Ignoring the wondering eyes turned on her, Maria scooped the watch into her handbag, handling it with the care she would have given to an injured infant. Bending low, she inspected the little heap of shattered glass, picking rap a thick, sharp sliver, and began pushing (Continued on page 23.)

Marilyn will give you a Russian Character number in her beautiful bico costume and white boots. Andrea will do a toe number from the Ballet Copelia, in a costume of green and pink organdy and fushia velvet.

The Club members are selling tickets now, so if you're at the lodge any Saturday or Sunday, you may purchase your ticket from them.

Many of the lodge membershave been asking me when we will have another Czech play—so here goes—October 28th is the date. Let's all hope that it will be cooler by then.

ONLY IN AMERICA )Continned from page 20) her way through the crowd toward Ed and the •policeman.

When he saw her, Ed's face softened into a smile and the worry faded from his eyes. Maria held out her hands, and when he reached out for her she quickly dropped the tiny glass dagger into his palm. "In case the torture gets too bad, my darling." she breathed, so gently the words scarcely reached her own ears.

Her brown eyes fell to his wrists, thin but strong, and, biting her lips, she wrenched her eyes away and turned to the policeman.

"Here," she said, moving close and speaking in a low tense voice. She ripped the little oval locket from her throat and thrust it into the policeman's big hand. "Here. A present for your wife."

The policeman stared at the thin gold chain dangling from his hand.

"It is not of precious quality," Maria admitted, "But it will bring good luck."

She wanted to shout to Ed, "Run! Now, while I am talking to this officer, while his attention is distracted."

But Ed did not move. The policeman was handing back the locket, his face pink, Mumbling, "Mighty nice of you; lady, but if I was to get a present every time I find a lost kid, or a lost wife.."

Slowly, Maria put out her hand to take back the locket. Then her voice was pouring out of her throat in a shout, and she could not control it. "Run," she shcuted to Ed. "Quickly, run!" and she poised herself to spring for the policeman's-right arm the instant he reached for his pistol.

Curious faces ringed them now, and the policeman looked questioningly at A group of golfers were telling tall stories. At last came a veteran's turn.

"Well," he said. "I once drove a ball, accidentally of course, thru a cottage window. The ball knocked over an oil lamp and the place caught on fire."

"What did you do?" asked his friends.

"Oh," said the veteran, "I immediately teed another ball, took careful aim, and 'hit the fire alarm on ain St. That brought out the fire brigade before any damage was done."

Bewilderment returned to the policeman's broad face, but sudden understanding touched Ed's features with a look of somber tenderness. "Yes, it's a mistake," said Ed, taking Maria's arm.

"More my mistake than yours, darling.

I didn't realize .. ."

The sirens were splitting the air, dos'," at hand now. Cheers roared like the surf, a block away and rumbling closer.

People began to shove, and the curious faces turned away.

"You are not an outlaw, then?" Maria asked. "It was a jest then, what you told me? You did not really vote against the President in the elections?"

"It wasn't a joke, Baby," Ed said. "I voted for the other fellow, the one who got licked. But here it's not against the law."

Abruptly, the sound crashed around them, a mighty cheer drowning all conversation. Watching Ed's lips, Maria could see them say, "I voted against him, Baby, but hurray for the President of the United States."

Maria felt the tears, cold and wet on her cheek, but she did not mind them.

The chilly air suddenly smelled sweet and when she cried out her own cheers she was glad that her voice could not be heard above the din, but blended into the roar which she thought must be going up from Pennsylvania Avenue to echo across the world.

Then at Albany the men noted a recurrence of the red-truck incident.

One man took out his watch, glanced at it, and observed, "These airplanes sure make wonderful time, don't they?"

"Yeh," his partner replied, "but there's a little red truck out here- that ain't doing so bad for itself."

FIVE GREAT AMERICANS

, Too Sundays ago I happened to listen to the radio early in the morning while. sipping my coffee. There was an announcement that the same afternoon Drew Pearson would not be heard, but that his place would be taken by Senator Dotglass, of Illinois, who would speak about five great Americans.

I always have admiration for Paul Douglass, formerly professor at the Chicago University. Consequently, I prepared my wire-recorder and recorded his talk when it came on the afternoon program.

I hope the readers of the Vestnik will get some good points from his talk which follows.

-In these days of denunciations and Connterdentinciations, I thoUght it might be Well tonight to speak about five Americans, who are in danger of being forgOtten but who by their -Work and lives have helped to make us all better men and women.

The-first is John Wcolman, the Quaker tailor who was born early in the eighteenth century, lived a life of apparent obscurity lqut who was the spiritual fountainhead of the antislavery movement -in America. Slowly it dawned on Woolman as a young man that slavery was a great moral wrong. Human beings were treated as property and frequently overworked and cruelly handled.

The system brutalized both the slave and the master. But it was widespread and it was profitable. Almost no one questioned it and most men of means owned slaves. But Woohnan's inner voice would not. let him rest. It told him slavery was wrong and that he should bear testimony against it. so he quietly traveled oyer the country speaking at Quaker meetings and to individual Quakers, Irging them to stand out against slavery.

One by one, the Quaker yearly meetings passed resolutions asking all their members to free their slaves. Woolman was then given one of the most disagreeable jobs a' man could have. He was appointed to a visiting committee to call on Queaker slaveholders and get them to- free their bondsmen. He did this for years with such gentleness and humility that, few harsh words were ever spoken to him and by 1775 the Quakers had freed their slaves without a cent of compensation and were out from underneath the great curse of slavery. Freed from the profits of this institution, they Intril,-thed in the next three-quarters of a century the spiritual shock troops of the antislavery movement. , How much better it would have been had others followed the example of Woolman and his associates?

Wednesday, Atifiust 29,,_195-L trial accidents and a host of other reforms.

One of these reforms was to establish a genuine system of civil service for State employees. This was 50 years ago; so that Wisconsin ranks with Massachusetts and New York as one of the pioneers in this movement. A problem which always comes up when civil service is first put into effect is what to do with the existing employees who were originally appointed on political gronuds.

Should they be turned out or retained?

If they are of his own party or group, a' Governor generally tends to blanket them in as permanent civil servants and thus try to give them permanent jobs.

If the employees belong to the opposition, however, it is, a common practice for a governor to oust them, replace them with his own men and then put these under the protection of civil sery ice.

But this tends to poison the system from the year start. For when the opposition takes power, they cannot be expected to abide by the results. The new regime will therefore get rid of those who have the jobs on one pretext or another and give the positions to their own followers. Under these conditions, a true merit system becomes impossible and civil service a more or less hypocritical farce.

When La Follette became governor, his enemies manned the State jobs and he most have been sorely tempted. But he refused to fire his opponents and instead gave them civil-service tenure. No one could legitimately doubt his sincerity after that and as a result the merit system has probably been developed more fully in Wisconsin than in any other State. For that full credit should be given to Robert M. La Follette.

La Follette was then elected to the Sf nate and immediately started out on a vigorous program to preserve competition and prevent monopoly. When he first rose to speak in the Senate, all his Republican colleagues left the Chamber but the time came when not only the whole Senate but the whole country listened when he spoke. He passed a law to protect seamen and worked constantly for a proper physical valuation of the railroads to squeeze the "water" out of their capitalization. His son, Robert M. La Follette, Jr., who succeeded him, served for twenty years more and by his skill and fairness won the title of the "Senators' Senator."

George W. Norris was a Nebraska lawyer who came to Congress in 1902 and found it dominated by big business. The House of Representatives was then ruled

by Speaker Cannon who in effect appointed all committees and decided

_lE8TI

T. 11XXAS„.. which Congressman should be permitted to speak and which biils could be called up for action. Norris stood this as long as he could and then with a few other Progressive Republicans joined the Dem-, ocrats to .replace the absolute.m.onarchY of the Speaker with what has turned out to be the tempered autocracy of the Rules . Committee, Coming to the Senate in 1912, Norris served in that body for 30 years. He was active in every good cause, but his two greatest works were i, first in getting , the so-called antilame duck amendment passed which made Congress more responsive to the popular will and secondly, in creating with Franklin Roosevelt's help, the Tennessee Valley Authority, which has done so much to build up that area. A hard-boiled and cynical politician once told me of Norris, "You can't, buy him, nor flatter him nor frighten him. He always does what he thinks is right." And then wistfully with tears running down his face, he said, I wish I could be like George Norris." And I would add that many of us believe he was the finest and purest Senator of the last century.

In these days of strain and turmoil, we I can take strength in the examples of ' John Woolman, John Peter Altgeld, Jane Addams, ,Bolo,,La Follette and George Norris, who served the people of this Nation. They were bitterly attacked and criticized in their day, but their lives have stood the test of time.

In the words of George Eliot, they have joined "the choir invisible of those immortal dead, who live in minds made better by their presence." But at times one hopes that mankind can recognize such men and women while they are living and not merely after they have died. I shall close, therefore, with the final words of Bernard Shaw in his play, Saint Joan: "0 God that mutest this beautiful earth, when will it be ready to receive Thy saints. How long, O Lord, how long?"

SCRAPING ALONG The River Steamer was attempting to scrape her way over a treacherous sand bar. Her engines were straining, her Paddle wheels were churning madly, and every member of the crew was holding his breath as the vessel crept inch by inch over the bar.

A recluse living in a solitary cabin on the riverbank chose this moment to come down to the stream's edge for a pail of water. As he turned away with a brimming pail, his action caught the captain's eye.

"Hey," roared the fuming skipper.

"You put that water back!"--Sun Dial

• Strana NOW IS THE TIME TO BE HAPPY In certain mining districts of Peru, the ore is .transported from one place . tce another in clOrikey 'carts. 'Being none too eager to pull their lOads, the little animals sOrnetinieS have to be pers4;10.

This is accomplished by tying a small bundle of hay on the end of a pole that extends from the animal's back , Out over his head. The hay is always afoot or,so away. from the donkey's nose, and as he reaches for it, he moves forwarql and pulls his cart along with him.,Obvionsly the donkeys never reach the, hay they are grabbing at all day long.They get their regular feeding in the evening, of course.

Have you ever noticed how ten we put our hapPiness off until son) time in the future? Like the little donkey with his hay we set happiness . just ahead;: but we never quite catch up with it. We are constantly postponing our happiness til we again Possession of some object or some object or some position we have always wanted. "When I get that new car," "when the mortgage is paid off," "when I get well"—these are but a few of the reasons we give for postponing our happiness.

This method. of pursuing happiness: d:! one of the greatest mistakes man has ever made. Happiness is not an elusiVe will-o'-the-wisp. It is a state of =mind; a quality that can be acquired right where you are. Happiness should be enjoyed just as much during the procdss of attaining a goal as it is when the goal is reached.

So don't be a jackass and keep reiiefiing for something that is always 'jug ahead of you. Take your happiness'right where you are, and then each obfeatiVe you gain will add just that much More fun to hiring. Robert Ingersoll once said, "The time to be happy is now, the place to be happy is here, the way to be happY is to make others so." ) •

WOMEN KNOW COSTS! The price of roast beef, of a ,qUart of milk, of shoes for Johnny and Sue, of movies, and rent, and all the all& items that must be bought and paid' for during the month—these arc costs' the average woman can understand. Make use of such costs in your sales talks.

When talking insurance before, hus-; band and wife, stay away from lump sums. Mention, instead, income. in monthly amounts amounts the wife. is used to dealing with and understands.

BEING A GOOD CITIZEN "What did yen ever do for your co-Un try as a good citizen?"

This was a question recently asked by the Senate Crime Investigating Come of one, of the leading racketeers e United States, Frank Costello. t did you ever do for your country as a good citizen?" This was a vital question that was put to him. A quarter of a century ago America had granted Frank Costello the privilege of citizenship, and yet, since then, he had been reputed to be engaged in all sorts of illegal pursuits in his adopted land.

Do you know what Frank Costello answered when they asked him that question about citizenship? He answered, "I pay faxes," What a miserably inadequate reply. As a matter of fact, Costello doesn't even pay his fair share of taxes.

It is a fact that every single one of our people, whether they be young or old, male or female, regardless of their station in life, regardless of their °CCM° 1?-:lion, regardless of their race, creed, or actor can prove their right to American citizenship.

Each one of us has a role to play, whether he be a public officer in Washington or in Chicago or in Houston or whether he be a private citizen—a lawyer. a doctor, a factory foreman, a machinist., a carpenter, a streetcar conductor, a churchman or any ,of the thousands of (II her callings of our American people.

You and I can proudly (but not arro'gain-1y or boastfully) speak forth the words:. "I am an American" if—and I emphasize this if— we fullfill the patriotic role we have in whatever station in life we happen to find ourselves. Now, how? Let me suggest several specific ways.

First, regardless of who we are or what we are, one of the greatest privileges we have is that of casting a free ballot. Yet, in the last election throughout the Nation, less than 50 percent of our people voted at the polls. Amazingly enough, the percentage of eligible voters who hove cast their ballots has declined through the years, rather than increased.

So. I say, let us not forget this priceless blessing when November rolls around and when primary day rolls around, but let us proudly cast our vote. Moreover, let us vote not automatically, not blindly, not on the basis of what someone tells us or orders us. But let us vote after our own careful thinking, after earnest review of the issues, after sound evaluation of the background and qualifications of ,the candidates.

Any individual who engages in black market activities is obviously disloyal to

America. Any indiVidual who jacks up prices above 'their ceilingS „1S disloyal, Any individual who spreads falSe rumOrs which cause panic buying is disloyal.

In a time like this when our industry is being geared to the war effort, it is essential that we increase prOduction of peace—time commodities so as to help "soak up" inflationary buying power.

In other words, we need greater producivity, and the way to get this is by cooperative action and understanding between labor, managethent, agriculture and Government. You can't get such productivity if there is hatred; fear, selfishness in or among any of those vital segments of our economy. I conclude as I began. I conclude with the question that was asked of Frank Costello: "What did you ever do for your cointry as a . good citizen?"

It is my hope and prayer that when that question is asked of you, you will answer not simply that you pay taxes.

Rather, I hope that you will say thay you follow a constructive program of service to your country, especially in her time of need, a program of exercising your franchise, a program of keeping your community as clean as you can possibly make it, a program of cooperating with the anti-inflatidn of our Government, a program of underStanding the American way of life and of respect ing it and of combating subversive forces.

When we say, I am an American, may you and I be worthy of .that proud 'distinction. May we set an example to which, in the words of the father of our country, "the wise and honest may repair." i) • • ( HOW WE GET PROSPECTS

IF YOU WANT TO BE "LAZY"

If you have an incurable case of spring fever and want to make it pay for itself, Make these eight resolutions today."

1. I will get cash with application because it's easier than asking for it when I deliver the policy.

• 2. I will sell a prospect what he needs and can pay for because it is easier than doing a lot of conservation work.

3. I will route my daily calls carefully because it is easier than wandering from one end of town to the other.

4. I will use an organized sales presentation because it is easier when I know exactly what I am going to say.

5. I will try to close early and often because it is easier to have a 'short interview than a long one.

6. I will talk to the prospect about things in which he is interested because it is easier to let him do some of the talking.

7: I will not use a technical sales talk because it is easier if I don't have to explain what I mean.

8. I will keep my centers-of-influence busy because it is easier to let them find my prospects for me.

I will be the "laziest" insurance man in town—but I'll probably make the most money. —Pan-American Life R.

Diilditost vitamimi v pokrinech (Dokoneeni se strany 18.)

Proto se pozoruje, ae jsou nyni deti z velke easti seslable, blede, zvla gte ve mestech, kde jim neni mono jiti si na zahradu neb na pole, utrhnouti si ovoce se stromu neb vytrhnouti mrkev ze zeme a jisti ji na miste. Mleko, ktere dostanou, je vgecko pasteurisovane, neb jinak harkem ptemenene. Dne gni mladeZ neni jiZ tak otuZila a silna jako bSrvala. To pozoruji lide sarni.

Nagi davni ptedkove jedli, pokud neznali ohne, vge syrove, jak to v ptirode dostali. Male zvitata jedli hned, je gte diva, vetg i hned po lovu rortrhali na kusy a snedli, jedle koteny jak je ze zeme dobyli hned zbavili prsti a snedli. Tak se jim dostalo vgech pottebnSrch latek a tak se udrZeli otuZili a silni, ze mohli vzdorovati rozmarilm divoke piirody. Dnes ale je potrava podrobena tolika rianS7m procesfun ptipra,vy, jako je peeeni, smaZeni, kvageni, makkani, mleti, pateni, sugeni, michani, dugeni, vysivani, rozpou gteni v lueebninach, pasteurisovani, sterilisovani atd., ae se telu dostane jen jakesi neutralni ka ge, bez barvy, bez chuti a bez zapachu, ale ponevadZ takovato michanina neni tuze chutnou a ponevadZ dnes lide dbaji vice na chut' nea na uaitek, naueili se kuchafty a kuchati ptidavati rfizne ptichute, jako je koteni, ocet, omaely a rfizne urnele, ne gkodne i gkodlive ptipravky k polehtani patra v fistech.

Nagi davni ptedkove jedli vge co bylo k jidlu, co nagli v pfirode, jako maso zvitat, ovoce, listy, vety a koteny rostlin, jeZ byly jedle a to nejen ze souse, ale i z vod, jak sladkS7ch tak motsk3ich. Oni jedli v gecko jegte Zive, derstve, tak ae dostali do Zaludku Zivou protoplasmu, ktera obsahuje vsecky pottebne latky k udrZeni Zivota a zdravi. My jime tyte2 latky, jen jsou v gecky nejeasteji pokaZeny ptiprayou pomoci horka a paleivS7ch ptisad.

Protoplasma byla zabita, znidena a s ni take velmi pottebne vitaminy, latky, ktere telo nutne pottebuje k vSr give a udrZe• ni zdravi.

Lekati a vedatoti postkehli jiZ davno, ae se lidem nedostava nedeho v potrave, eeho nutnC pottebuji a toto nem ze se pkiliSnou a zbyteenou ptipravou nici. Ze v geho moc Skodi a tedy i moc ptipra y . Seeteli to zaeinaji pozorovati, ae jest vetaim a dillelitej girn problemem, ne jak ziskati vice potravy pro lidstvo, ale nalezti co schazi potrave jiZ mime, a ktera jiz nevyhovuje poladavkum tela. KaZdSr kdo ete uktednou detbu a ne krvave neb zamilovane romany, se jiste dodetl, ae dnegni dobou se rozmohly jiste nemoci z ncdostatku pottcbn3)ch latek vSZiyn3)ch

V E ' S T N I K — WEST, TEXAS (deficiency diseases), jako jest vole, blednieka, chudokrevnost, neuritis, kaZeni zuktivice, kurdeje, holohlavost, meknuti kosti, zanety kloubn atd. neodekavanou merou a ze podavani len proti nim a rfizne vice mene nesmyshie Wen' pro to neni v mnoha pripadech nic platne.

Bylo patrno, ae se bude museti nejak zmenit viva eloveka. Biochemisti, eili udenci, kteri se zabYvaji studiem lueebni ainnosti tela a aivotnich latek vubec, brzy poznali, ze nano hledati prieinu nedostatkU ve zmene yyZivy lidstva. Jail se tedy studovati &inky rtanYch druht potravy, rtiznYmi zpilsoby pripravene, na vYvin mlad'at ruznYch zvirat vyvinujicich se v matte, pak po narozeni jejich a jejich dospivani. Davana jim potrava syrova a pak VAelijak pripravovana a priglo se k vYsledku, ae podrobenim potravy einkfim horka, ztrati se neco z potravy, to jest neco je znieeno. Bylo patrno, ae to, co se horkem znieilo, byla nejaka aiva latka, nebot' obydejne latky, jako je ku pt. gkrob, cukr, tuky atd. se horkem nezniei. Proto tedy nazvali tyto latky "vitaminy" dill "Zive aminy" (aminy jsou latky ptibuzne epavku, obsahujici velke procento dusiku).

Pies &line patrani nebylo moZno posud tyto vitaminy bsamotniti a ziskati eiste, ale dlouhYmi zkoukami byly jejich neinky velmi, presne stanoveny. Bylo i moZno je rozdeliti a klasifikovati, podle jejich ileinkfi. To si vyZadalo ovkm nekolik roku uporne price, ale dokazdno to bylo ptesne. Dnes vlme, ae jest jich vice raznYch druhti. To bylo objeveno a prozkomnano a oznaeeny byly pismenami, a to vitamin A, B, C, D, a F. Vitamin A jest nutnym k vYvinu celeho tela a zvlaSle k vyvinu zdravYch kosti zubti. KdyZ se ho nedostava, nasleduji nemoce jako krivice, meknuti kosti, hnisani kosti, bledost a slabost. Tento vitamin je v mlece, masle, sYru, eerstvem syrovem mase bYlohavYch zvirat, v krvi jejich a jatrech, jakoZ i zvirecim tuku.

ZvlaSte mnoho se ho naleza v oleji z rybich jater, kterY davno byl znam jako vYbornY lek k leeeni ktivice a slabS7ch kosti.

Vitamin B je ukryt v semenech rostlin, tedy i v nakm obili, vejcich zvirat, mlece a kvasnicich; nedostatek tohoto vitaminu zpusobuje neuritis eili zanet nemoc beri-beri, nemoce jevici se Wayne v nervech a rnozku, jako je nedostateenY vYvin nervovYch bunek atd.

Vitamin C se nejhojneji objevuje v pomeranoich, citronech a podobnem kyselem, ale dobre zralem ovoci, zvla ge kdy2 toto bylo hodne vystaveno slunci, a STA,vach rfanYch zelin, jako je salat, zeli, kapusta a pod. Nedostatek jeho zptisobuje hlavne kurdeje, jevici se bolavenim fist, hnisajicimi dasnemi, vypadavanim zubti, bolaky pa tele a vodnatelnosti. To

Strada 27 pozorovali jiZ davno plavci, kdyZ za sta.rStch dob na plachetnich lodich byli tune dlouho vzdaleni pevniny a nemeli eerstvela° ovoce a zeleniny, dostali kurdeje.

Jakmile vstoupili na pevninu a dostali eerstve ovoce a zeleniny, byly kurdeje rychle vyleeeny.

Vitamin D jest nejhojnej(3im v rybiin oleji. Ale take se naleza ye Zloutcich syrovYch vajec, jatrech zvirat, ktera, se Zivi rostlinami, kvasnicich a v nekterem syrovem eerstvem mase zvirat aivich se rostlinami. Tento vitamin take zabrariuje vYv2au krivice, podporuje zdravY rust kosti a zubil.

Vitamin E, ktery jest jednim z nedavnych objevenYch, se naleza take v rybim oleji, jatrech, syrovYch vejcich, syrovem mase a mike. Md se za to, ae tento vitamin hlavne floinkuje na vSivin itnohlavnich Ustroji a udrZovani pohlaihni shy a bujnosti. Posed ale o nem nevime mnoho a teprve pristi doba nam jej bliZe objas ni.

Jak shora uvedeno, olej z jater tresky vytakn bez horka, tedy ne vysmaZen, ale vytakii pomoci stray', v nichZ fieinkuje hlavne vacuum, eili vzduchoprazdnY prostor. Kde je olej vysinaZen neb jinak horkern vytaZen, pozbYva svYcki neinkti.

V tomto oleji, byly nejdrive objeveny vitaminy, teprve pozdeji se poznalo, ae vSecko eerstve syrove maso a rtAzna, Zvireci ustroji obsahuji jiste vitaminy. Proto Amunden mohl vydrZeti nekolik roku v polarnich krajinach bez eerstveho ovoce a zeleniny, ponevadZ se naueil od Eskymakir, kteii take 2iji v polarnich krajinach bez eerstve zeleniny a ovoce, pojidati syrove maso z ryb a tulerin, piti jejich tuk a pojidati jejich jatra syrova..

Vitaminy se tvori jen v rostlinach, pomoci zelene listove a rtiznYch St'av z nYch alaz rostlinnYch. Vitarniny jeZ nalezame v mase zvirat nemaji svilj ptivod v techto zviratech, ale tela jejich si je jaksi uschovala z rostlinne potravy, jiZ zvirata i ryby poZivaji. Tedy i vitaminy v rybim oleji maji svuj ptivod v rostlinach, jimia se aivi drobounci kor3i gi v moti, pak slouzi za potravu treskam. Tyto jednoduge pouZiji hotovSich vitamina z tel korYgli pro sebe a prebytek jejich pak uschova,ji pro priSti spotrebu v jatrech svYch, z nichZ se pak dobYva znamY rybi olej. VSak olej tento, jak vYk reeeno, se mush dobYvati bez horka, neb jinak by take byly vitaminy v nem znieeny. Proto nynejSi, modern'. olej jest zcela jinaky nea bYval drive.
