POSTMASTER: Sew fd 11579 with undeliverable copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST Fayetteville, Texa P•edseda piedsjezdoveho stanovniho vYboru, bratr George E. Kaeir, Zadal redaktora, zda bylo by moZno, aby stanovni vYbor mohl vypiniti pledni stranu tohoto oisla Vestniku zpra.vou vYboru. Je mile vyhoveti 2adosti tohoto druhu. redaktor snaZil se, aby prvni tri strany Vestniku byly vZdy vypineny latkou vodni z jeho pera, zprava predsjezdove'no stanovniho vYboru ma daleko vetSi. Zitost ne" -rozumy redaktora. "Oasem .§patne verse pi,`Su", '2aloval na sebe. Bezrue a mohl by Zalovat na sebe tot redaktor. Proto elenove prominou, to pripravenY redakeni elanek bude as pristi tYden. Zato olenove maji vaZnejM veci na Predni strane. Predsjezdovy stanovni vY bor podava elentim zmeny, opravy a nove elanky na'Sich stanov. Nerikejte, ze si to stanovni vybor sam "upekl" a yam to predklada jako vec hotovou. VStor musel

vkchny doSle navrhy pretrasti rozhodnouti, zdali to nebo ona vec byla by jednote k prospechu nebo co bude Jednota potrebovati v budoucnosti. Proto neodsuzujte navrhy yarn podane, uvahtjte tn a pak sluSne o nich debatujte.

A jako stanovni vYbor pracoval v souhlasu, potrebujeme i my ostatni vice souladu, iJkol nageho stanovniho ArYborn nebyl snadnY. OvSem, to znaji jen ti, kdo neco Podobneho nekdy predtim resili. Mnohdy jen u domaciho radu neni a neni moZno dociliti spoleeneho usneseni. Stanovni vYbor mel a ma, daleko vetei zodpovednost neZ kterYkoliv domaci vYbor. NaS predsjezdovY s,tanovni vYbor se sklada z kteri maji nezbytnou zkuknost, znalost a zptsobilost. A pak devitielenne teleso neni tak teZkopadnYm, aby se snadneji docilil souhlas v myelenkach, nazorech a presvecleeni. V menSim telese, jako je tento stanovni 'vYbor, da se nejedna choulostiva vec klidneji a dokonaleji uvaZiti, rozebrati, aZ se clojde ku spoleexiemu clorozumeni. Ve vetkin shromaZdeni se Oast° stane, ze nekdo se znovu a znovu vraci k veci ji g trikrate vysvetlene, a Ze je treba noveho vysvetlovani at do ornrzeni. Proto kdyt budete eisti jednotlive elanky, bud' zrnenene, opravene nebo nove, mejte na zreteli, vSechny moZne dirvody i protidnvody byly stanovnim vYborem rialeZ",ite uvaleny, a '2e yam se tyto opravy predkladaji nadeji, to syYm vlastnim prernY glenirn o nich prispejete ku spoleenemu a uspokojivemu rozluSteni. Dejte vYboru uznani, ze s yftj tkol vypinil dle sve nejlepgi. moZnosti.

Ztracejl se nam rfizne historicke pamatky, ktere sami nepovaZujeme za dulento, ale ktere kdysi budou miti nesmirnou historickou hodnotu. Redaktor si vzpomina, jak jednou na gel ye sklepeni banky, kde aradovna mela uschovaily stare zaznamy, neZ se prestehovala do sveho nynejelho mista, jednu starou knihu, rozbitou stalkm prehazovanim, s sty uvolnenYmi, drZicimi pohromade gumovou paskou. Zvedave shad jsem pasku, abych prozkoumal obsah, byla to prvni protokolni kniha naS'i Hlavni idadovny.

Tenkrate ye triceti letech sveho yeku mel bratr Kubena veinal ahlednY rukopis, taktka krasopis. Kniha asi to je dosud uschovana. Nebyly by s tint pro Jednotu taktka Zadne vkdaje, kdyZ' by se takova pamatka ofotografovala na mikroskopicky film, aby byl duplikat na dlouhe yeky. °statue jednou dojde i na to, Ze Ark chny stare knihy, zaznamy, dUlelite listiny a pamateeniCl budou zachovany na mikroskopickem filmu, aby ziskalo se mista pro beZne knihy a zaznamy. Dojde na to, Ze nebude se zvet§ovati sklepeni pro sklad staroZitnosti, ale vSechny cenne veci budou ofotografovany a uloze-

1• 1-.0 /7 1 1, dne 12, ftnora 1952. ny do naa13°Tch alurnInoVch krabic, talcr7,e obsah celeho velikeho sklepeni da se snadno umistiti v jeclne zasuvce male olanivzdorne pokladny.

Pokuvne na dopisy je dostui tri centy za unci nebO jakoukoliv eastku unce. Ne-' icteri dopisovatele posilaji redaktoru dopisy, na net nalepuji ku tricentove znamce jeke dalSi jednocentovou v domnence, Ze poStovne na obyeejne dopisy je motna etyri centy. Tri centy staei, lee by byl dopis pies unci, v kteremMo pripa.du je nutno-prilepiti dalk tricentovou znamku.

Otevrene listky, at' korespondeneni nebo pohlednice, yyZaduji dva centy ''poStovneho. Na takovem listku nesmi vSaik nic bYti priPisovano na stranu nebo do mezery pro. adresu. Kdyt by nekdo psal nem na korespondenenim listku, a pochybelo mu mista, Ze byl nucen dokoneiti sve sclelern v mezere ureene pro adresu, takto popsank listek yyZaduje tri centy, jako kdyby to byl zalepenk dopis. Nasledkem zvYS'eni pokovneho na korespondeneni listky, je vYhodneji psati radeji kratkY dopis net listek. Ze zkuSenosti vim, Ze ani poStovni zrizenci, ani adresat nevenuji listkam dosti pozornosti, takte Oznameni na listku se jednak phi pokovni doprave opozdi, jednak adresatem samotnYm easto prehledne. Nezapominejte, Ze pozdravne listky z cent, prazdnin a vYletfc poladuji nyni dva centy pOStovneho. Poplatek za "special delivery" je nyni dvacet centh na dopisy, 35 at 65 centic na baliky, a to dodateene k pravidelnernu poplatku za pokovne.

Brair Chupiek, naS nfavni tajemnik, privez1 mi pled neda.vnem yza.cnou pamatku kalendare Amerikany z let 1898, 1899 a 1900, svazc),ne do jedne knihy: "Jsou tam tri nebo etyri historicke povidky z Texasu, a jiste by to nak eleny zajimalo." Bezesporu, nebot' jsou v povidkach znama jmena o rodinach LeeikarovYch,, ZapalaeovYch, MarkovYch, SaerovYch, MikovYch a jinYch z okresit Austin, Lavaca a Wharton. Preeet1 jsem vSechno s napnutYm zajmem, a rad bych otisknul ve Vestniku pro radost a potitek nakch Merit, jenZe musel bych celou knihu rozkezat, aby sazee mohl umistiti prelolene listy pred sebe na, s,),;ecim stroji, ponevadZ pro vazanou kniim na stroji neni mista. NezbYva, net vyekati, at najdu nekoho, kdo by cele povidky opsal na eeskem psacirn stroji. Kdyby ale nekdo z nakch etenarti nakl nekcle na ptide nebo ye starern kufru nektery z techto jmenoyanYch roc-ankh. kalendare Amerikana a chtel ho obeto y ati k uktreni obtilne price s opisovanim, byl by tomu redaktor velice po y cleenYm. Lee i tajernniku Chupickovi vdeci redaktor za ochotu a pozornost. Ony povidky se do Vestniku svYm easem dostanou.

O sestaveni clejin na gi SPJST bylo mluveno jig nekolikrate. Pled nekolika lety

Ve sttedu, dne 13. anora 1952. byl ueinen pokus, aby na g' student' na statni universite v Austinu byli k teto historicke praci nejakYmi pene gitYmi odmenami pkilakani. Dosud nestava, neg pouhY nastin, co by bylo mo gno provesti, ale k samotnemu sbirani materialu nikdy ptikroeeno nebylo. V jubilejnim roku padesateho vYroei Jednoty byly vzpominky a navrhy, aby sestaven byl pamatnik, cog ovgem bylo by tea OasteOnYm ptinosem k celkovemu materialu, ale nedoglo ani na pamatnik. A piece men bychem se pokusiti o sestaveni dejin SPJST. Na nagich vyggich ueiligtich je dostateanY poeet studenta eeskeho pvodu, ktefi jsou povinni vykazati se schopnosti a zruenosti, ge dovedou sbirati podobnY historickY material. Ka gcla podobna prate se povaguje za pfirastek a obohaceni dejin z hlediska vedeckeho. Bylo by tteba jen upozorniti takove studenty, ge sestaveni dejin nejvet gi Ceske bratrske jednoty ye statu bylo by od nas v gech vitane, ptipadne i finaneno podporovane nebo odmenene. Trochu yzajeinne dohody mezi nagimi hlavnimi Utedniky a vlivnYmi profesory by vet Je nagi povinnosti starati se, aby nage schaze byly lope nav gtevovane? Mnohy z nas si myslime, ge ano. Na druhe strane se fika, ge v torn ohledu ma Olen volnost, a,by dela', jak si pfeje. Na g spolek, jako katiclY jink bratrskY spolek, je vYhonek lidskehoani, abychom jeden druhemu pomahali, abychom se semkli ku svepomoci. Ruka ruku myje. Kdy g pomageg ty nine, pomohu ja tobe. Ale musime si oba rozumet. Lee gadny, spolek, urOenY ku svepomoci, nebude dlouho existovati jen na chladne yypoditavosti. V kagdem bratrskem spolku je tteba udr govati porozumeni jeden druhemu, ptatelsky styk elena s elenem. Jako bychom stavili budovu pro vgechny a teg pro budouenost.

Jako bychom kladli cihlu k cihle, a ka g gnosti. Ma tedy Olen volnost,-clYdesvmo aby ponechal v gechnu praci nelcomu druhemu? Ma ten, kdo stale praduje na spoleCne sta y)* to prayo, aby fekl tomu liknavemu; "Pojd', bratie, a take ptilo'g ruku k praci"? Jestli zalladem na geho spolku nebo fadu je bratrska svepornoc, bude zahodno, abychom nemeli na mysli jen volnost, ale to g nagi elenskou povinnost.

Co je hlavni pfieinou, ze nektere tidy konaji sve schitze jen obeas, ae si vedomo a zianyslne odhlasuji, aby schaze byla jen etytikrat do roka? Piece kagdY tednik, kterY je dbalY svYch povinnosti, vi anebo mel by vedeti, ae zrimyslnyin pocIporovanim liknavosti a pohodinosti nikdy jeho tad nebude prospivati. Vezmerne si mnohe jine organisace, ktere maji schtize bud' ka gdY tYden neb dvakrate do mesice. Myslite, ge by takovemu spolku glo to k duhu, kdyby razem si odhiasoval, ge se sejdou jen jednou za

Ovgem, gadfly hlavni atednik yarn takovou otazku nepolo gi. Ale cog kdyby se sjezd zeptal va geho delegata, zdali konate sve schaze nejmene jednou za mesic, die elanku 146?

Bratr PodlipnY z Rosenbergu psal redaktoru soukromY dopis, jeho g jeldna.

Cast stoji za uvetejneni. Dovoluji si tak uoiniti s omluvou, ge povaguji myglenku bratra Podlipneho Casovou a spravnou. Psal, .ge mel by pro na gi astfednu malt' navrh, a site: "Dtive nebo pozcleji dojde k dim postaveni hlavni Ufadovny, a jedna z drile gitYch tree' pro budouci pokoleni jest zachovani v gech pamatek od doby zalogeni S.P.J.S.T. Navrhoval bych o zachovani cele fitadovny zesnuleho Jana R. Kubeny talc, jak byla s tim vysokYm psacim stolem, gidli, pokladnou, a to g aby zachovany byly chny zaramovane diplorny a uznani, co byly kdysi na steno, prvni afadovny, a vgechny osobni pamatky po J. R. Kubenovi. Teg je spousta raznYch pamatek v rukou spolku a jednotlivca. Sam mam nOkolik veci, ktere by se nechaly uschovati. Takova vYstava prvni afadovny v nove budove by hodne znamenala pro budouci easy." Myglenka bratra Podlipnett° si zaslouli schvaleni, a to g povgimnuti od nagich vedoucich. Kdy g by nagi hlavni atednici vahali sami podniknouti nejake kroky o zacriovani techto pama.tek, myglenka by mohia bYti ptedlogena ptigtimu sjezdu.

Ve Vestniku pied dvema tydny byl v artglicke east' alanek o programech z radiovYch stanic, ktere na gi lido radi poslouchaji. Jsou to talc zvane 'polka hours' programy. Seznam stanic, ktere v Texasu maji podobne programy, jako i denni dobu nebo tYdenni hodinky techto programa, byly vypracovany jednim z nag ich krajana, kterY graduoval na statni universite v Austinu, a kterY nyni pokraOuje ve svYch studiich v jednom z intienStrskSrch °bora. Seznam stanic a polkovYch programa byl nam zaslan laskavosti bratra George E. Kaciie, kterY se s onim mlaclym krajanem seznamil pti schazi eeskYch ex-studenta. Co bratr Kacif nevedel a redaktor nemel Casu vy gettiti, bylo, 'ge zminenY krajan Calvin C. Chervenka je Menem SPJST a path k fadu Nova Osada eislo 69 v Rogers. AZ pozcleji redaktor zjistil,ze bratr Chervenka obOas ptispel do Vestniku ji g drive, poneva,d2 jako pfedseda teskeho universitniho klubu podaval zpravy o Cinnosti klubu v letech 1943 a 1944. Te g poslal del gi Olanky do Vestniku na podzim 1945 a na jafe 1946 z Manily na PhilipinskYch ostrovech.

Zde mame phklad z na geho mlade ho elena, ktery ye volnem Case stal se ceremoniarem pies stanice KFJZ a WRR ye Fort Worth a Dallas a zavedl program "Polka Parade". Ma styky se v gemi stanicemi ye statu, zna v gechny Ceske programy a sestavil jejich seznam. Kdy g by nekdo navrhnul, aby nage SPJST rnela svou pravidelnou palhodinku pies nekterou stanici, dosti silnou, aby program byl mognY zachyceni od vet giny nagich Olen, hned by vyvstala namitka "A kde vezmete takoveho eloveka, ktery by se k tomu hodil?" My vlastne nevime, ae podobne lidi jig manic, jen se poohlednouti, uznati jejich kvalifikace a vyugitkovati jejich schopnosti.

Uvedeme jiny lziiklad, je gte markantnej gi. Pied nekolika lety na ge hlavni radovna potiebovala schopneho elena, kterS7 by pfevzal uprazdnene misto pokladnika. Ptihlasil se mladik, kterSr pfijel se do schnze hlavni nradovny osobne predstavit. Tehdej gi bratr pkedseda vyptaval se ho ruzne otazky ohledne vzdelani, obchodnich zkugenosti, atd. Byl Clenem SPJST, deskeho pavodu, proto ge mame asi 50 rodin v Texasu nesouci toteg rodinne jmeno. Mladik mel universitni vzdelani, a v onom Case byl vedoucim asistentem jedne velike, dobte zname firmy, obchodujici s bondy. Ponevad g gadnY z Utednika nebyl expertem v bondech, byl ptirozene mu clan dotaz, zdali vi, jake handy SPJST vlastni, a jakY je jeho asti, dek. "Mate dobrY vYber v bondech," byla jeho odpovOd'. "My jsme prave prodali jednu serli bonda a koupili jsme jive.

Byla to dobra transakce?" Odpoved' mladika byla ptekvapujici: "Kdybych mel radit, tak bych fekl, abyste si podr geli ty, co jste men, ale nekupovali ty, co jste koupili. Ofgem, u g se stale." Byl tazan, jake slugne by potiadoval za svoti vYkonnost, kdy g by byl zvolenY. Vysvetlil, kolik obnagelo jeho slugne u firmy, kde byl v onom Casu zamest-nan, a vyslovil se, ae kdyg by nemohl si phlepsiti, nemelo by pro nej smyslu meniti mista. Vytknul sumu, kterou by ,odelcaval. Piedscda zvednul ob6 nice: "Vi g Ty, bratie . , tic vgichni na gi ittednici dohromady dosta.vaji sotva vice ne g co Ty bys gadal?" Mladik se usmal a pravil: "Jestli by moje slutha neptinesla Jednot y tfikrate vetgi vSrdelek nea co byl by muj plat, pak by nemelo, smyslu, abyste mne najimali, a z me strany bych se citil, abych vain vratil, co jste mi vyplatili." Dle nahledu onoho mladika, vybirard poplatkil od Clenix neni Zadmi komplikovany obchod, ale dobre investovani vgech fondit SPJST vyZacluje hodne proziravosti.

Dy e ieny v iivote Abrahama Lincolna.

(Helen Sehultzova.)

V tivote Abrahama Lincolna byly port' ze dye ieny a obi hluboce zasahly do jeho osudu. Jedna svoji ptedeasnou smrti vtiskla peeet' neskonaleho smutku do jeho tvate; druha se stala jeho mantelkou a kraeela s nim k presidentskemu stolci.

Jest znamo, te Lincoln nemel tadne sky, at v stati 25 neb 26 roku se seznamil s mladou dcerou hostinskeho v New Salem a zahotel k ni laskou, jet dle tvrzeni vtech historika byla jedinou ,k nit jeho srdce vzplalo. Byla to Ann Rutledge, sliena, divka, jemne a utlechtile povahy, potivajici vatnosti u katdeho v osade New Salem. Lincoln se dlouho nemohl odvatiti vyznati ji svoji lasku jednak proto, ze byl chud a rodina Rutledgova letela mezi zamotnejti v cele visce, jednak proto, ze byla zaslibena jinemu muti.

Kdyt posleze tento napadnik zmizel z New Salemu a chud pravnik Abraham Lincoln byl zvolen do illinoiske legisla• tury, byla Anna zprottena vtech zavazka a Lincoln ji mohl oteviiti svoje srdce.

Jejich laska byla krasna, avtak jejich ttesti nernelo dlouheho trvani. V dobe, kdy Lincoln poznal prvni ttesti sveho tivota, Ann onethocnela a jeji choroba stala se pak vatnou, ze nebylo ji dovoleno ptijimati tadnYch nav g tev a teprve, kdy rodina shledala, ze v gechna nadeje na jeji uzdrayeni zmizela, bylo jejimu milenci dovoleno ji navttiviti. Posledni sladka slova z jejich fist platila jemu a byla ten bolnYm loueenim navtdy. Kdyt posleze ji smrt zkosila, byhLincoln uvrten v nevYslovnY gal, z nehot se nikdy alpine nezotavil a jeho ptatele se z poeatku ojej zbavi rozumu. Jest tvrzeno, ze east() i v noel chodil na hititov a cele hodiny prs-dlel u jejiho hrobu.

Trvalo to dlouho, net se opet vratil ke sve pravnicke praci a do legislatury, avgak znamka bolu neopustila nikdy jeho tvat. Jednomu kolegovi z legislatury te• kl: "NekterYm z vas se snad zda, ze se uptimne tetim ze tivota, ale jsem-li sam, vtdy se mne zmocni takova, stisnenost, ze se obavam nositi kapesni nat."

Spattila jsem hrob Ann Rutledgeove Poprve pted dvema roky, kdy na caste ze Springfieldu do znovu zbudovane yesniaky New Salem jsem se zastavila na htbitove Mount Auburn. V to dobe byla cesta na htbitov jette neupravena a pohled na chudiekY htbitov nijak nedaval tusiti,ze na nem odpoeiva prvni a jedina laska nejvettiho americkeho presidenta.

Jeji hrob byl zanedbanY, ani jedineho kvitku nebylo k spatieni a teprv, kdy se pribligte k jednoduchemu pomniku, 'Clete slova fichvatne basne Edgara Lee Masterse: "Jsem Ann Rutledge, milovana Abra

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS hamem Lincolnem, zasnotibena, jemu ne svazkem mantelskym, ale oclloudenim."

KatdSr, kdo htbitov navAtivi a spatti hrob Ann Rutledgeove, odchazi rozechven a s bolnYm dojmem v srdci, i s litostj, ze o hrob te, jeji obraz snad nikdy nevymizel z dute Abrahama Lincolna, nebylo jit dtive lepe peeovano, jak si jeji svetla parnatka jiste zaslouti.

Ann Rutledge se narodila dne 7. ledna. roku 1812 a zemtela 25. srpna roku 1835.

Druhou tenou v tivote Abrahama Lincolna byla Mary Toddova, jet za test roku po smrti Ann Rutledgeove se stala jeho mantelkou. Byla by dala ptednost Lincolnovu politick,emu neptiteli Stephenu A. Douglasovi a kdy u neho nemohia dosahnouti cile svych tuteb, venovala svo• ji lasku muti, jej osud urcil, aby se stal jednim z nejvettich presidenta nati republiky. Jejich znamost neplynula v klidu, neb Mary nebyla nikdy s LincolnovYm chovanim spokojena a ani nedbalY sob jeho odivani nebyl ji vhod. Jeho cho vani nebylo uhlazene a syYm tatam nevenoval nikdy dostateenou pozornost. Negatil se podia mody a stalo-li se nikdy, ze se mu utrhl knoflik u kalhot, staeil kousek dtivka, aby mel nae zavesiti gle.

Jest ptirozeno, ze Mary nebyla spokojena a easto mu * einila vYeitky, cot zase Linmina tak popudilo, ze odhodlal znamost pteruSiti. Svetil se tim svemu ptiteli J. F. Speedovi a na jeho radu gel jednoho yedera k Mary, aby ji oznamil, ze ji nemiluje a nechce ji pojmouti za mantelku.

Kdyt se jej pozdeji Speed tazal, zdali se zachoval dle sveho ptedsevzeti, odpovedel: "Ano, tekl jsem ji to, ale ona propukla v apenlivY plile a natika.la si, ze jsem ji oklamal."

"A pak?" tazal se Speed.

"Inu, pak zaealy i mne teci slzy po tvafich, tedy jsem ji uchopil do naruee a polibil."

Minuly tYdny a Lincoln se nemohl smititi mytlenkou, te se stane mantelem Mary Toddove. Cele dny travil ye svem skrovnem ptibytku, easto ne gel do sve pravnicke afitadovny ani do legislatury, jeji byl elenem. Ale proti svatbe vice neprotestoval. Tato byla stanovena na den 1. ledna roku 1841. Pied sedmou hodinou veder poeali se schazeti hoste, ptitel pastor, jent mel parek oddati, vtichni pozvani hoste byli ji2 ptitomni, jen tenich se neobjevoval.

Ve vedlejtim pokoji sedela nevesta, odella ye svatebni at a v pochopitelnem rozeileni pohlitela na hodinky, chvilemi pohlitela na ulici, a eekala na tenicha.

V pfil desate poeali se hoste rozchazeti a zidamana nevesta strhla s hlavy svatebni zavoj a hotee plaeic, uprchla do sve lotnice, aby nemusela tadneho hosta ani spatiiti.

Strana 13 Nasledujici nitro byl Lincoln nalezen v jeho pravnicke atitadovne, mluvil nesouvisle a jeho ptatele se obavali, ze 'pozbyl.rozurnu.

Pak se dlouhY eas ani nevkieli, az jednou v rijnu roku 1842 byl Lincoln pozvan do jisteho domu ye Springfieldu a tam se opet setkal s Mary Toddoyou a jejich schilzky by* pak eastejSi, aZ jednoho dne ji opet nabidl snatek. Mary mu vte odpustila a byla ochotna stati se jeho mantelkou, avtak jedine s podminkou, ze oddavky budou hned vykonany. Jeji prani bylo spineno a .vecky pripravy byly tak rychle odbyty, ze jeSte tehoZ vedera byli Abraham Lincoln a Mary Todd svoji.

Takove vYbuchy hnevu se opakovaly easteji, vyeitky se sypaly na Lincolna pti katde ptiletitosti, mantelka nebyla s spokojena a Lincoln se staval stale smutnejti a nett'astnej gi.

Kdyby se byl Lincoln otenil s Ann Rutledgeovou, neni pochyby, ze by jejich mantelstvi bylo gt'astne, ale jest pravdepodobne, 'to by se nebyl stal presidentern.

Umela sloe Gist, nikoli Wank psat. MladY Abraham dochazel do Xkoly jenom rok, v neeni ale pilne pak pokraeoval doma, venuje kaadou volnou chvilku eteni.

Ve dvacetl letech byl Lincoln miadYm obrem, tamer 6 stop a 4 palce vysokYm a vynikajicim neobyeejnott silou. Drive, neZli se rozhodl venovati se pravfim, vyzk.otAel nejedno zamestnani. Advokatem se stal ve velcu dvacetisedmi let.

Ze vSech vynikajicich postav naAich clejin neni nikdo tak ykobecne chvalen a tak mak) ocisuzevan jako Lincoln. Jeho osobnost a jeho divot poskytuji latku k nadhernemu studiu. Je nam skuteene ukazovatelern nej yyMi. Zivotni mravnosti.

Nekteti muZove ho prekonali po jistYch strankach, nekte •i projevili vethi genialnost a obraznost jinYch letela k nejvyAAim metam. Ale Lincoln to stoji mimo ostatni svet, velka osobnost sam pro sebe, ponevad2 se v nem poji d ye vynikajici vlastnosti: velikost a dobrota. Zfistal velkYm pii sve dobrote a dobrYm pri sve velikosti. Tyto prvky jeho charakteru ueinily z hello velkeho vfidce lidstva.

Ve velikYch dejinnYch obdobich rodi se velci muZove. A naopak: velci muZove jsou 'east° tviu ci velkYch dejinnYch obdobi. Jednim z inch byl prave Lincoln.

CelYm svYm Zivotem ukazoval, Ze netreba se stydeti za chudobu. Snad prave jeho chudoba prispela k yytvoreni silneho charakteru v pozdelXim Zivote, kdy dekazal, Ze elovek maze dosici Uspechu pies svfij chudiokY pnvod.

Lincoln neznal nikdy nafoukanosti ani pretvarky. Chtel, aby byl vyobraZen tak, jak skuteene vypadal. Jeho opravdovost vyzirala z kakleho jeho podnikani.

Lincoln nenavldel a podvody. oast° nesouhlasil s jinYm, o nejake bane stanovisko, ale nikdo ho nikdy nedonutil k Ustupu, jednalo-li se o mravni zasadu. Byl tak nehezkY, ae budil dojem krasneho muae, jeho mravni sila rostla s jeho nesobeckosti. Byl pokornY a piece pripominal kralovskY majestat. Nikdy neztratil se zfetele svuj cil, nikdy ani o pid' neustoupil zlu, at v ja,kekoliv podobe.

POSTMASTIM: Send form 3579 with und eliverable copies to S. P. 3. S. T., Fayetteville„ Texas.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THESE LINES ARE WRITTEN a few days before the time when our pre-convention By-laws Committee is to meet in West. At this time, no one can guess of estimate the amount of work the Committee will have to do. The recommendations of the Supreme Lodge alone cover eighty-eight separate Items. Add to it some fifty items that had already been suggested and published in the Vestnik, and increase it by some hundred items which will reach the Committee within the last few days—and you have a herculean task.

ONE OF THE GOOD SUGGESTIONS is the article by which the Supreme Lodge has the right to employ one or more agents capable of training our solicitors in securing new members. It is a good and sound recommendation. The question remains, will we do it? The old article 54-k gave the Supreme Lodge the right to employ "an agent", one agent.

There is not much improvement to change it from one to three or even a dozen agents, if the article is inserted— and nothing else is being done.

ANOTHER APPARENTLY SOUND suggestion is to change the official paper ONE DEFINITE ADVANTAGE will from a weekly to a monthly. This may come cut of this tremendous volume of be considered a measure of economy, or suggestions. It will give every member a it may be just a plain shortsighted conchance to study the recommendations trariness.

This recommendation should' be cepted without any opposition.

THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF; ;INSURANCE is recommended to be raised up to $10,000. It is a good suggestion, hut we still are too timid, too modest, or too impractical to go after more and better business. And we should do 'aWay with those fractional amounts after we reach $2,500. Who in the right state oC mind is going to select $6,500 Or'$8.60?

It is a bad figure, psychologically. Why not round figures in thousands after the last split of $2,500?

But I would, pers-many, prefer to see additional recommendations which would reflect long-lange planning, like placing all officers of the Supreme Lodge under one permanent, our own, roof.

GOOD BOOKS FOR THE SPJST MEMBERS I have been complaining that so little appears in our papers about books, so I. will try my hand in giving high lights of one article and two books, but before doing so I cannot help but mentionse_news item in Wichita Falls Sunday Times. Front page please, "Young boy is top winner in calf show. Seymour, Texas, Richard Knezek, 9, a little boy with a big, steer, was jackpot winner annual Baylor County Four H and F. F. A. Beef Calf show. The win was $100; his father's name is Ernest Knezek. At the auction sale Matthew Syptak sold his steer for 38 cents."

"Journey to 4000 B. C." appearing in a well-known weekly. The scientists describes his eXploratory expedition into Pakistan Afghanistan; tells of the shifting of elvers, and the people that lived there perished; in excavating the ruins of cities and tombs he writes "that he believes Civilization existed there before Egypt."

Book No. — Kon-Tiki, name of the Wood from which the raft was built, a forty foot length, with sails and Humbolestream as only power. "In my school days we called these streams "Rivers in the Ocean". Starting at Lima (Leema) Peru, it took these rafts 101 days to reach. the Island of Tahiti, distance of 4300. miles. The Island Tahiti is due south of Hawaii. The sole purpose stated by the Anther of the books was to prove that the people of Tahiti and surround ing islands were from Peru and descendants of Incas. The raft was built as rafts were built by the Incas, and of the sarne kind of wood. Kon-Tiki is a book of the month book and now has been translated into five or six languages.

Book No. 2 -- Strange Lands and Friendly People, by William 0. Douglas, member of the Supreme Court of the U.S.A. Judge Douglas starts with Greece, being there at the suppression of guerrillas. He interviewed one guerrilla Captain, a woman; while in rags, she stood upright.•, Among several questions he asked her what she did with deserters.

"I would line them up before my company. pull out my pistol and shoot them'„ and the Judge said" and without trial"; she replied, "Dogs like that don't deserve a trial." Talking to a local Greek, formerly a U. S. soldier, "That modest, he told me that they would have these deserters undressed and these women would run their bayonet into their breast and otherwise operate on them." He then goes to Cypress. Poverty, people suffering from unfair landlords; one half of the Island 'land" is owned by the Greek and Moslem churches.

The Judge says in part that the Ko

ran has a strong flavor of Christianity and that when Marx and Engels wrote Communist Manifesto in 1848 they dipped : their pens into the New Testament.

He writes that Armenia, being at the cross roads between the Mediterranian and Pacific, has suffered from all who overran her, the Moslem, the Greek, the Turk, but suffered the least from Russia.

Persia, the old followers of Zoroaster, born 660 B. who taught the unending conflict between good and evil, the dignity of man, the immortality of the soul, and the man who preached "Be like God." This, too, is the country of Cyrus and Darius and others. The Persians are of Aryan race and if geneologists know what they are talking about, these people are our ancestors.

Persia is divided into several states, or nations, and these are subdivided into tribal states. I will describe the Tribe of Kurd; their peculiar custom, when informed of a visitor's approach, they, will meet him on the outskirts of city or village and kill a steer and pour tlee blood across the road, and the visitor will step across the blood, then they throw the head to one side of the road and say, "Thus shall it happen to your enemies."

Damascus-the gateway between the East and. West, but most noted because legend has it that there is where the Garden of Eden was located. Thence journey down the coast at Haifa where the King of Tyre lived, who gave the Cedars of Lebanon to Solomon to build the Temple at Jerusalem. He finds no cedars except about 10 acres kept by the government. His entire trip is erosion, poverty, the people oppressed by their landlords. The goats, which are the people's "cow" eat even the cedars, pine and thistle. He says 'we gave money to this country but it went to the landlords, the peasants got nothing. His trip to Israeli is quite depictive, describing the difference between the Arab and Jew; even now Jerusalem. is held partly

by Arab and partly by the Jews, the old part of the city by the Arab, with little or no improvement, while the new part is modern, The Jews co-ops in several different forms. In talking to a local Jewish friend of mine, who has just returned from a visit to the Holy Land, he does not think too much of the co-ops, too socialistic, no one owns anything, all belong to the organization, so if you want a dozen 'of eggs you go to a co-op and get them.

He then goes to India, and what a picture, poor are very poor and while Ne-

hru is working hard, he has a hard struggle. There are 275 million cows in India, but because of no pasture the cow gives only a quart of milk a day. The cow is a sacred animal and I don't believe they kill them for beef. Judge Douglas hasn't much to say for the British, who for centuries ruled the country. "All for the British and nothing for any one else; economically, India is in bad state. Hers, as the Arab's greatest liability is their pride."

Mt. Araratt, where Noah is supposed to have landed, is 17,000 feet high.

Another expedition, "Back to Queen of Sheba Land."

I am not going to describe any part of the expedition, only, what it takes to make the trip. One airplane, 16 trucks, 50,000 gallons of gasoline, navy medical unit, five generators, coca cola machine, three types of radios, hundreds of pounds of Jello, case after case of toilet soap —when given to natives they would eat it, think it candy—over forty companies contributed. This expeditlon was to excavate the town of Timna, buried .palaces in the province of Yemen. Of course in the company was. Czech, a Doctor, being a "D.P." (displaced person).

Daily Press, "1951 Texas Hybrid Corn contest winners are named." In the Gull of South Texas area, Louis Smesney, Liberty County, reports the top yield of 104.3 bushels per acre. No doubt there are 'others.

THE HISTORY OF THE CALENDAR No human invention is perfect, not even the measure of time. Each year is 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 46 second long. That explains why we have to have a leap year every four years.

That new calendar you have on your wall is a commonplace thing but it has a wild history.

In Republican Rome, there were ten lunar months: Martius, Aprilis, Maitus, Juno, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. They were the same length as our months, in most cases. Quintilis and Sextilis, meaning the 5th and the 6th, were later renamed in honor of Julius and Augustus Caesar. To bridge the gap between the end of December and the vernal equinox in March, the priests who had charge of the calendar, inserted Januarius (31 days) and Februarius, of a varying number of days. This was "intercalating" — inserting of extra days.

In 'operating the calendar, the pontiflees watched every month for the new moon. When they saw it, they would proclaim from the steps of the Capitol the number of days months. The 1st of the month was therefore the kalendae, the callings, from which we get our calendar.

Rome was ruled by two consuls, elected for one year. Instead of giving the year a number, the old Romans mentioned the names of the consuls in office: " In the consulship of Trumanius and Barclis."

As integrity waned in the later days of the Republic, political pressure was exerted on the pontifices. They changed the length of Februarius from time to time to keep the lunar months in proof with the solar year. But powerful consuls wanted long Februarys to lengthen their terms. Other politicians contrived t: prevent intercalation, and even to have March follow December. This politician's paradise got the Roman Calendar into such a mess that the spring equinox was occurring in the middle of December.

Then came Julius Caesar. He somehow found time to reform the calendar.

In 46 B. C. he intercalated, adding 67 days between November and December and bringing the calendar once more abreast of nature: In addition, he established it on a solar basis. Reckoning the year at 365 1/2 days, he froze the years to a total of 365 days, adding one day to Februarius every 4th year.

However, the 'length of a solar year is not 365 1/2 days, but 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. Caesar's year, or really that 'if his astronomer Sosigenes, was too long by 11 min-

utes and 14 seconds, or one day in 128 years. Our surprise is not that they were wrong, but that they were so nearly correct.

Time wagged its not-so-merry way along, Rome fell, and the Dark Ages ensued. About the year 730, St. Bede the Venerable, an Anglo-Saxon scholar, noticed that the calendar was a bit out of whack with the sun. The vernal equinox, he discovered, came three days before its due date on the calendar. But it took a long time to amend the calendar, 1,000 years, in fact. Agitation, however, continued. Finally, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII decreed the old calendar abolished, and that in that year the day following the feast of St. Francis (Oct. 5) should be considered Oct 15.

The Catholic states agreed, and intercalated; but not the Protestant. However, by 1770 most of the latter had followed suit. The conspicuous holdout was England. Russia, of course, ignored the whole thing.

In 1750 the conservative British squire was induced to do some thinking on the matter, and he found himself amenable to the change. After all, who had strated the business but jolly old Bede, practically an Englishman? This was properly a solid British project with which some officious foreigners had meddled. So, in the Calendar (New Style) Act of 1750 it was "enacted by the King's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords, Spiritual and Temporal and Commans" that the day following Sept. 2, 1752, was to be accounted the . 14th of that month. Also, the new-style calendar was to be used thenceforward, and the legal year was thereafter to begin on Jan. 1, not March 25, the date set in the Julian calendar as the vernal equinox.

For years, dates prior to Sept. 2, 1752 were followed by 0. S., to indicate old style. In one conspicuous case a date was amended by adding 11 days. George Washington was born on Feb. 11, 1732, O. S. This was translated into new style as Feb. 22.

Successive calendar reformations were attempts to reconcile a solar year of 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds with a calendar of 365 days. Caesar added a day every 4th year. Gregory ruled out, as leap years, the years ending a century in which the number without the ciphers is not exactly divisible by four. Thus 1600 and 2000 were to be, leap years; 1700, 1800, 1900 were not.

Over a period of 400 years the average year exceeds the solar year by only 26 seconds.

With only 26 seconds a year to worry

about a day in 3,323 years, one would think that everyone would be satisfied with thy: present calendar. HoWever, there are still perfectionists. They suggest that by exempting as leap years the year 4000 and its multiples (8,000, 12;000;'::.L etc.) the beginning of the year would not vary more than a day from its preSent place in 200 centuries. )•&• DO YOU ENJOY COMPLAINTS? Do you admire a whiner9 Do you enjoy listening to complaints?

Do you feel as sympathetic toward the person who unburdens his troubles on others as you do toward the person WhO "can take it?"

It's a million to one you don't.

Do you know anyone who does?

Then why do so many people continue' to pour their complaints into the ears of anyone who will listen?

The answer to that question explains many another human frailty. We can see defects in the behavior of others much better than we can see them in ourselves.

When the other fellow complains; we know that he gains nothing by it, and often loses our respect. We know-that sympathy cannot be forced from ' 7tts' without being converted into pity or tempt. But when we ourselves complain, we are too preoccupied with our 6*ti emotions to detect disinterest, boreddin or distate in our listeners.

So it is vital for us to remember that just as enthusiasm attracts others; cornplaining repels them.

To complain to oth9rs about our friend is to advertise the shallowness of 'our friendship. To complain to others about our enemy is to admit our own weakness. To complain to others about tour employer is to invite contempt for Criticizing another in his absence, and for continuing an employment with which we profess to be dissatisfied.

If we can be patient and understanding when others complain, we have little to lose, and their gratitude to gain.

But when we 'ourselves ,feel tempted to complain — that's the time to turn away from our feelings and towards our work. The time and energy we would otherwise waste in futile words can then be profitably invested in improving our on personalities and skills, while at the same time preserving the respect paid to people who "can take it"!

Still subtler and even inure devastating was a plant attack launched a few years ago in northeastern Australia. After careful study for posibly poisonous plants, a rich new grazing land had been opened there. Yet in a few weeks large numbers of both cattle and sheep were dead.

Months of research went into the repulse of this attack. It finally was discovered that the leaves of two different shrubs, which grew close' together in this area, were responsible, Neither type of leaf was harmful by itself, but when they were eaten together, an enzyme in one turned a normally harmles chemical in the other into prussic acid.

In this country plant toxiologists have eliminated or greatly reduced many dangers. Besides curbing the snakeroot scourge, they have put the finger on dozens of baneful plants such as the colorfully named 1‘.ico weeds, poison vetches, dogbanes, sneezeweeds and death camasses. And they have launched eradication campaigns which have made s_me parts of the vast governmentowned grazing areas almost completely safe.

But so far, Dayton says, he and his colleagues have barely scratched the surface in their studies. This doesn't mean city slickers should cancel their vacations in the wildwood. But it would be a good idea to think twice before you chew or smear yourself with anything green and growing.

DO WE JUST LIVE HERE? Just What is this democracy that peo. ple are always talking about? Is it as good as they say 9 Are all men really equal? Does everyone actually have the same chance to achieve fame and fortune? Are we really free? Are all these things true or are they merely erroneous statements put out by a very efficient propaganda machine controlled by a group of bureaucrats who run a corrupt and decadent Government?

We Americans, who are citizens of a democracy, believe these truths to be self-evident. We take it for granted that, here in our country, all men are equal, and that they have equal access to the ladder of success. We have lived with these privileges all of our lives and to us they seem quite commonplace.

The privileges of the people in a democracy, however, would not seem so ordinary to a person who has toiled and sweated his life away as a slave in a totalitarian state. Such a person has never felt the warm glow nor seen the bright rays of democracy's light. Even if his chains of servitude and bondage were struck off he still would not be a free man. His slavery is in his soul.

Now think of our own way of life. We are allowed free thought and free speech.. We thus avert any chance of having the heavy chains of slavery put cn our souls. Democracy is not the man on the corner, it is the sacred privileges of that man.

Are you exercising these privileges? Or are you one of those who neglects to vote and who does not serve on juries?

When election day comes around do you say to yourself, "Why should I bother to vote? My single ballot will make no difference." But it will. Your single ballot is immensely important. In a democracy every man's opinion counts.

When your city or State asks . you to be 1 of 12 men and women who are to serve on a jury, do you immediately make excuses? After election day is over, do you say to a friend—"My, what an awful administration we have in this town. Something should be done about it."

And, perhaps, after a decision has been rendered in a court case, you are again talking to that friend and you, say— "Why, just the other day, they let that murderer walk right out of court. Why doesn't someone do something about that kind of thing?"

You could have voted on election day, and .you could have served on that jury, you know.

These privileges are like muscles— you must use them constantly to make them become large and strong: If you

neglect to vote and squirm your way out of jury duty, you are giving up the precious rights that for many generations courageous men and women have spoken fearlessly for, fought for, and died for.

Even today the bitter struggle to preserve these privileges which you shrug off so lightly goes on in a foreign land where the very earth is soaked with the blood, and the ground is covered with the bodies of OUT American soldiers.

Remember those famous Americans who wrote the Constitution? They affixed to it a preamble stating that the blessings of liberty were to be secured for their posterity. Little did they think that we, their posterity, would give so little thought to what they devoted their time, fortunes, and lives to. Let us look back over the history of our great country.

First let Us consider George Washington —the father of America. He devoted all of his energies to make America great.

Think of Thomas Jefferson who helped draft the Declaration of Independence.

It's importance 'is known to every American schoolboy of today. Remember Abraham Lincoln, who, through untiring efforts, saved our country from the brink of disaster.

What American today would have the courage and spirit, standing on a scaffold with a rope around his neck, to say, "My only regret is that I have but One life to give for my country." Nathan Hale did just that.

Franklin, Adams, Jackson, Madison, Monroe—the list is long the deeds are many. These men and what they did made America great. These men were true citizens of cur democracy. They did not sit back and take things for granted, they went out and earned their rights.

How about you—are you a citizen of this democracy of ours or do you just live here? A citizen is one who votes regularly and responds when his Government asks for his aid. He is interested in the welfare of his community. He obeys the law and respects the rights of his neighbors. He is by no means the perfect man, but he is by all means one who strives to be.

Are you a citizen or do you just live here? ) • 4 • ( RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY The membres of Lodge Stefanik no.

ednesday, February 13, i9.)

MAD MAIL TO WASHINGTON One morning, several years ago, every postman imHouston found on his working desk a stiff piece of paper showing photostat copies .of three envelopes. The letters were mailed in Houston on three consecutive days. All three letters were addressed to President Franklin Delano :Roosevelt, White Ilbuse, Wa4shington, D. C., in the same handwriting. The post office inspectors instructed every postman . in Houston to watch for letters that would have the same handwriting.`There are hundred of crazy letters sent to Washington every day.

"Nobody can call me dirty names—do something about this!" bellowed an indignant U. S. Senator from a Southern state. He showed two post-office inspectots:a letter he had just received.

It was addressed: "Senator Blank, S. 0. B., Washington, D. C." The inspectors explained the abbrelateviation could also mean "Senate Office Building," But this did not satisfy the :sensitive Senator, who complained thatthe contents of the letter were fully as offensive as the envelope.

1n-7:claiming the lawmaker, the inspect ors told him about Senator Joseph McQarthy of Wisconsin who often gets 7,000 letters daily, many of them extremely insulting. Senator McCarthy has issued a standing order: "Throw those abusive letters away-L.-I don't want to see one of them."

Not everyone is as sensitive as the Southern gentleman. But no one likes to receive poison-pen letters. Top government officials in Washington grimly admit this type of letter writing has today reached record proportions. And the post office department says the practice on the increase throughout the country, 7--,tone are the days when the post office considered its job well done when it delivered the mail, Today every one of the 850 post-office inspectors throughcut the 48 states is putting in many hours investigating all kinds of obscene, threatening' and insulting letters. They are -being aided by the bull resources of the U. S. Secret Service, the F. B. I. and the police.

The poison-pen letters are being sent to everybody from President Truman to the corner groceryman. Abusive and obscene beyond description, they stream into the White House by the hundreds every day. More than 3,000 have been turned over to the Secret Service for investigation this year.

The flood of such mail has forced the Secret Service to establish an aweinspiring laboratory, called Protective Research Section. Located in the White

House, this laboratory is manned by 10 experts, bristles with fluoroscopes, Xray machines, infrared cameras and other equipment used in tracking down anonymous letter writers, Because each author of a threatening letter is a potential Presidential assassin, the Secret Service and the post office go to unbelievable lengths to nab their man. It makes little difference if the letters are anonymous, as many are.

Murderers get no more relentless pursuit than these misguided authors.

For example, an- extremely vicious typewritten letter threatening Mi. Truman's life was sent anonymously from New York City early this year. Secret Service agents checked every wholesale and retail outlet of the same make of paper used down to the ultimate consumers.

All typewriters of the same make the writer used were checked against this list, and finally all those who had access to the machines were questioned. It took months, but a suspect was finally turned up. He confessed.

It's no joke. Some hardy crackpots sign their names, state when they plan to kill the President—and then actually show up! They're greeted by the Secret Service.

President Truman sees only a few of the threats against him. Mrs. Truman and daughter Margaret prefer to see their personal mail, so some of the poison-pen letters actually reach thern.

Margaret got little sympathy from the women of America when she protested that newspaper reports of her engagement were false and hurt her chances for dates. She was showered with a flood Of hoStile letters.

Along with the : letters, that pour - into the White House each day are in, numerable packages containing everything from bundles of money to crackpot inventions and other weird items.

All packages are photographed so a record can be kept of the label in case the package blows up. Then the package is X-rayed.

If it is actually ticking or if there is other evidence of some kind of infernal machine inside, it is given the "treatment." This includes immersion in a container of oil, which usually stops any mechanism. If the package is still considered dangerous, a fast trip in the Secret Service's brand new bomb carrier is the next step.

This bomb carrier is a specially built truck with thick armor plate protecting the driver's compartment. Mounted on the body is a huge cylindrical container that swings open like a bank vault. The

actual bomb container looks like a basket but is made of thick cable woven together. Secret Service agents have tested it with real explosives, claim it can withstand any bomb that can be sent through the mails.

The bomb carrier's mission is to transport potential explosives to an isolated area. Agents stand behind a wall; grappling hooks are applied and the package is pulled apart by remote control and examined.

Inquiry at the State Department disclosed a blackout exists on information about poison-pen letters addressed to the Secretary. Officials there are smarting under the 'heaviest and most prolonged avalanche of hostile mail in the Department's history—and they don't like it.

The MacArthur incident plus bad publicity in the Alger Hiss case and Korea are blamed. One State Department source disclosed that Dean Acheson probably gets more derogatory letters than anyone else, except Mr. Truman.

On Capitol Hill the situation is nearly as bad. Congressmen hate to admit pubIcily they receive this mail. Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio often gets more than 4,000 letters a day, some of them "pretty nasty," his secretary admits.

Senator Estes Kefauver, who permitted all America to look in on his nationwide crime investigation via television, could write a book on the objectionable mail that has since descended upon him. He turned the letters over to his own crimeinvestigating committee.

Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan is the victim of farmer and businessman alike. The former berate him for the cctatroversial "Brannan plan"while the latter resent his reputed coddling of farm co-operatives who pay little or no federal income tax.

The targets are not always the government. The faculty of a well-known university in Washington was thrown into an uproar not long ago by a series of letters accusing husbands and wives of misconduct, Police were called in when the writer wrapped the letters around rocks and hurled them through windows. The author turned out to be a beautiful—but psychotic—young woman.

In the nearby town of Aylor, Virginia, last summer, parents began receiving anonymous letters stating that their children were immoral. The guilty party was the last person anyone suspected: the postmaster of a nearby town. She was promptly relieved of her job.

The post office says every living person is the potential target of a poison penner. The average American receives

ENCYCLOPEDIAS One day last winter the phones started ringing in the kitchens of our suburban.

As each housewife answered, an cultured voice explained that a certain encyclopedia company had selected her family, because of its prestige in the community, for a special offer of great educational value. Could the firm's Mr. So-and-So stop in that evening and explain it?

Some of the women, cynical even in an age of radio jackpots, refused. But many were flattered and agreed to the visit. That evening a crew of men descended on our cozy, if small, living rooms. It was hard at first to understand what they were driving at in their talks about how the family was especially chosen for this offer, but it finally developed that you got the first volume free if you signed a contract to buy the rest at so much a month.

Most families with children are interested in encyclopedias, at least to the extent of wondering if a set wouldn't help, the kids in school, and provide Pop with a change from watching wrestling on television. So quite a few families in our development signed up.

Actually the set they bought was not a bad one; it was one of the betterknown encyclopedias. For some families the investment of well over $100 may turn out a rewarding one. For others, the handsome big books they are acottinitiating are already becoming dust collectors. For an encyclopedia is something that ought to be selected at least as carefully as you would a new coat. To get your money's worth out of its siz able price, it needs to be chosen for one family's individual needs and uses.

The best way to 'shop" encyclopedias is to visit your public library and consult the professional rating service used by librarians themselves: Subscription Books 'Bulletin, published by the American Library Association (50 E. Huron St., Chicago.) This bulletin reviews and comments on practically all the encyclopedias and educational subscription books published, including dictionaries and atlases The reviews can tell you the completeness and accuracy of the articles, the effectiveness of the index, even the quality of paper and binding and legibility of the type, and most importantly, its suitability: whether it's been edited primarily to entertain and instruct a child, or for use by students and adults as a reference. For youngsters, a hignlydetailed index is not so essential; for adults, illustrations may not be so portant.

For example, here's the Bulletin's re

view of one well-knoWn encyclopedia:, "Too difficult for children . . . of value to parents in answering children's questions . . usefulness to children themselves will most likely begin at high school age." That certainly gives you a good clue to whether this set is for you.

Here's a revealing comment on another encyclopedia: "Much of the information is thin or superficial .. (contains) factual errors ... inconsistencies and errors in the index and cross reference system." That's a good clue, too, eh?

You can also find reviews of encyclopedias in the United States Quarterly Book Review, which your local library probably has on hand. Also ask the librarians themselves, especially the children's librarians, which encyclopedias they recommend. Ask several, because you'll find their opinions vary.

Of two children's sets rated very highly some librarians prefer one because it has good pictures and is written to encourage boewsing. Others like the rival set because it's thoroughly indexed and has concise but detailed articles, and is thus more suitable as a reference and aid to school work.

Also observe which encyclopedias the library itself has chosen, and compare them. Read articles on the same subjects to see which gives fullest, but at the same time clear and concise information (because an article is lengthy doesn't always mean it offers more actual information). Last but not least, compare the prices of the most likely sets against the features that each one offers.

If your interests or reference needs run in a certain direction, you may even find that all you really need is one of the specialized one-book encyclopedias dealing with science and nature, or literature, or geography, all of which are available for as little as five dollars apiece.

Generally, librarians say, it's around the fifth grade that children become really interested in encyclopedias.

Consider twice before investing the extra money for a deluxe edition with a fine binding. Not only do children outgrow sets, but so do events and developmentS in the world, even though most publishers supply yearbooks, at an extra fee, which bring the encyclopedias up to date.

An encyclopedia can be a wonderful asset in a home—if it's well chosen for that home's tastes and needs. If it isn't you might as well have thrown your money down the drain..

Why Automobile Insur ante Costs More Yes, automobile insurance rates (like everything else) have been rising in recent years—but they needn't have risen as much or as rapidly. And there is something that can be done about it.

It probablY will come as a surprise to Mr. Motorist to learn that he plays an important and even a major role in setting automobile insurance rates. And that when these rates go up he has had a great deal to do with putting them there.

Of course, there are some factors affecting the cost of automobile insurance over which the motorist has no control, There's inflation. It costs much more than it used to, to repair both automobiles and people.

For example, the average replacement cost of a rear fender is now $90—an 800 per cent increase over 1940's $10 price. This is due to increased costs of material and labor and to the faneier designs of modern cars. ,In 1940, a fender was just that an nothing more. Now It is a° sizeable part of the side of a car and includes a headlight or taillight.

Yesterday's minor collision is today's. major repair . job.

Hospital rates have skyrocketed as much as 174 per cent since 1940.

Juries, considering these factors and the higher cost of living, award more money to accident victims who, - .while recuperating, must pay their bills. The average verdict during 1950 in some localities was more than 80 per cent higher than in 1940.

But at least half the blame for rising automobile insurance rates falls right into the lap of Mr. Motorist himself. He.. just has too many accidents! And the rates for a. community are based on the accident or loss experience of the insurance company in that community. et* • On a Strike It Rich broadcast, the quizmaster asked a contestant, the f ather of 17 children, why he wanted to "strike it rich." The answer — "So I can buy my wife some laborsaving devices" —brought down the house and won him $800. * Scientific Analysis — Patient: Doctor, if there's anything wrong with me, don't frighten me half to deathhy giving it a long scientific name. Just tell me what it is in plain English.

Doctor: Well, sir, to be frank, you're just plain lazy.

Patient: Thank you, doctor. Now give me the scientific name for it so I can tell my wife.

STUDENT COMMENTS ON CZECH CLASS 406.

Jr. Henry Tyroch of Temple, Tex. says: "Czech 406 has been a valuable experience in my college career. It has served as a socializing agent and as a source of enjoyment. If the aim of the course has been to acquaint us with the modern applications of the Czech language, customs, and culture, I believe progress has been made toward that end.

Formal learning was supplemented by the development of a true appreciation for the rich Czech background and the spirit of the Czech people."

Miss Evelyn Zak of Taylor, Texas, comments: "To my estimation, this course should give the student a general idea of the Czech language and background. I feel that this was throughoughly covered as we had lectures and movies on the Czech history. We had the basic fundamentals of grammar, including the correct pronunciation of words and the singing of some folk songs:" Mr. Albert Ozymy of Abbott, Texas, has these comments: "One of the many reasons that I have for enjoying Czech 406 is the fact that there was a very coidial relationship between the professor and the students.

The individual attention given to each student was helpful. I myself did not understand the study of Czech at first, but through the sound approach, I feel that I have ,improved a great deal. I am looking forward to taking Czech 407 next semester."

Mr. Floward Linnard of McAllen, Texas, says: "I like the methods used in Czech 406 to utilize songs, poetry, recordings, and composition in learning the language, as these techniques make the course more enjoyable, as well as aid the learning process. I think the emphasis on dynamism helped all of the students, and the singing aided us to lose some of our reticence."

Miss Elizabeth Strauss of Austin, Texas, comments: "I think that Czech, the beautiful language of my forefathers, has a certain art expressed in the musical qualities and the emotional differentiation of

Strana 27 each word in a phrase. A thorough study of the grammar reveals the softness, rhytm, and harmony in each unit of i pronunciation. I belive that a language with these and many other beautiful qualities will continue to live as long as the Czech people exist."

Miss Frances Chupick. of Fayetteville, Texas, says: "I have two very good reasons for enjoying Czech 406. First, it is the mother tongue of my forefathers, and second, my instructor made my first experience with the language interesting. He aroused the interest of the entire class in many novel ways, never letting the lecture or discussion lag. Our class groups were a splendid idea; there is no way in which a student learns so well as by study with another in his own situation. I feel that Czech 406 had much to offer."

Mr. Charlie Ozymy of Abbott, Texas, has these statements: "Czech 406 is a good course, and I enjoyed taking it even though I could read and speak Czech some beforehand.

Teaching by sound is a good method of teaching to those who cannot speak the language: Class pronunciation of words enables the student to develop good speaking sounds."
