DISKUSE U (LAM SESTEM E SCHUZI fitadovny, konane minuleho tYdne, doSlo na zajimavY rozhovor. Piivlastek "zajimavY" je volen opatrne a po zrale uvaze. Hovor byl zajimavY pro pet &Ivo(1) tYkal se tivoteni a existence malYch (2) tYkal se poetu delegatal od velikYch tad0; (3) vztahoval se neptimo na vydani sjezdove; (4) ptedpokladal motnost snadnejk dohody na sjezdu; (5) a byl to zajimavY rozhovor jit proto, Ufednici a teditele Hlavni ntadovny odvatili se probirati mezi sebou nevdeenou a choulostivou otazku.

Diskuse byla Ohledne elanku nakch stanov — elanku Lesteho. A6 elanek,.samotny nebyl jmenovan, diskuse vyvstala tim, to byl pronesen nahled, zdali pHtomne zastoupeni na sjezdu je sprivne, (dpovidajici pottebam SPJST, smetujici k vetkmu vzrUstu spolku, prakticke po strante final-1611i, • a spravedlive ze stanoviska stejneho demokratickeho zastoupeni.

Abychom pOchopili spravny smysi diskuse mezi hlavnimi Utedniky, zopak.ujme si onu east Aesteho elanku. Zni nasledovne: Sjezd Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texas pozilstive. (jake nehezke staromodni slovo) z delegatti zvolenych inistnimi tady. KatdY tad ma pravo zvoliti si delegata na zaklade poOtu svetio elenstva die nakedujici stupnice: od gest" do 100 elenti jednoho delegata; pak na katde clalk pine sto diem dalkho deleata.

Redaktor pochybuje, to z cele diskuse bude jakakoliv zminka v protokolu. Byla to jen zdrava vYmena nahlecl, soukrobez ntedniho uzaveru. ma, Diskuse zaeala tim, ze byl prbnesen nahied, zdali to Jednote prospiva, kclyt je na sjezdu vetSi poeet delegatti. Byla to j en otazka hozena do vzduchu, mezi ostatni, aby o ni projevili sve nahledy. Na odpovedi nebylo ti • eba diouho dekati.

ni na sjezdu. Hned k tomu byla namitka, okoli jinY a podobnY tad nebo dva, aby

ze tadnY neupira ani tomu nejmenkmu tadu zastoupeni, ale prod by to zastoupeni nemohlo bYti trochu ptimetenejk?

Prod ma miti tad o S'esti elenech stejne zastoupeni jako tad, ktery ma 195 nebo 199 elena?

Ptitom pteletela redaktoru hlavou prchava mykenka, ze tadost o povoleni ku zaloteni noveho tadu musi bYti nejmene ye jmenu deseti poaestnYch osob bile pleti, a byl-li ye sjezdovem roku zaloten novY tad sestavajici z deseti elenu, je takovY tad opravnen zvoliti si delegata.tiebas jen tYden pied zahajenim sjezdu. A redaktor se ptal sama sebe, ani by se michal do diskuse hlavnich litedniku, zdali toto pravo nebo tato zaeatedni zdvoillost ma stale trvati? Ba nejenom ze je to paeateeni sluSnost a ohled na deset novYch elen0, ale zda se, jakoby Se tato zdvotilost protahovala do nekonedna, i kdyt tad klesne z deseti dleml na osm, na sedm, ba az na 'Sest. To byly jen letme mySlenky, ktere se reda.ktoru vynotily behem debaty.

Byl vysloven nahled, ze jestli tad do ptikiho sjezdu, totiz y nasledujicjch etyt letech, nenkate dosti sily k dalkmu vzrastu, zda met by miti zastoupeni na sjezdu.

Lee o kolik elenii by mel fad povyrfisti, aby byl opravnen na jednoho delegata?

Odpoved' nikdo se neodvaLl podati. Byl pronesen pouze nahled, 2e iadnY fad, kterY do deseti rokti nevyroste na nejakYch *dvacet nebo petadvacet Ilene, nemei by miti pine zastoupeni na sjezdu.

Kdosi upozornil, ze kdyby odpadli delegati od tech malYch tacit", ktere mail neti dvacet pet &eat', melo by to pro Jednotu dvoji — meng i poeet delegate na sjezdu, mensi vydani a snad ten snahu u nekterYch domacich fade, aby fad dostateene povyrostl a dostal zastoupeni.

Bylo poukazano na jinou bratrskou organisaci, operujici v Texasu, kde mistni tad voli jednoho dele gata na kakie pine sto svYch 'client"; ale mistni fad, kterY nema pine sto elentt, je zatazen do skupiny podobnYch menSich facia pod sto elena, zvoli si jednoho delegata do okrskove nebo distriktni schnze, kde z techto okrskovYch delegate je teprve zvoien delegat do sjezdu na kaZdYch sto Tento zpilsob volby delegata na kaAdYch sto Menu zda se spravedlivejAi a demokratiotejH n&Z tfeti zpilsob, kterY byi rovne2 vzpomenut, kde u fine organisace fad nemajici jedenadvacet Clem, nemj. vubec Mdrietio prava bYti zastoupen na sjezdu.

Iilavni fi •adovna na gi SPJST konala svou dubnovou schuzi na velikonoeni pondeli, dne 14. dubna. Redaktor byl jiZ v neseetnem poetu schuzi hlavniho teledokud patiil clo oficielni rodiny. Snad tech schtizi za dvacet rokti jeho povinnosti ruznych hlavnich Uradech bylo dopres sto padesat, moZna pies d ye sta.

Nebylo zbyteeneho mafeni ea.,n, n-inoho obehodnich problemti podradm". 1D-i vYznamu bylo vyfizeno kratce, a hyla ve schuzi proje.vena snaha k piano-

i vysvetlerii a objasneni. PH tom tich6m poslouclaMi a pozorovani titedniktii a temusel pisatel ptiznati, be kaZdy z mluvicich ma :line vlohy a zku§enosti, a Ze vSichni se navzajem hlecli dopitiovati.

Co nevedel jeden, to ptednes1 drulaY, a zase dopinil tteti, take bylo to vskutku jednou vedouci teleso slo gene z mnoha nahledu a vlastnosti, ktere se navzajem respektovaly, sve nazory ptizpitsobovaly celkovemu smeru, a nikterak se nejakYmi slovnimi ptesttelky nektilily. Byla to vYjimeene vzorna schtize.

Potegujienu, byl proslov pi.edsedy, bratra Marka, ae bude nutno ptedloZiti na stavajicimu sjezdu nejake ureite plany ohleclne zlepkni naaeho organisaeniho odborti. Po jeho proslovu promitivil mistoptedseda, bratr Svadlenak, kterY upozornil, ittednici ureite pokyny nebo nejakS7 fined po sjezdu ve Fort Worth, kdy Hlavni idadovna byla zpinomocnena najmoutd statniho organisatora. Bratr Svadlenak zdUraznil, Ze nePocia-li samotni n •ednici ureite pokyny nebo nejakY pokusnY plan, nelze od delegattt na sjezdu oeekavati, be by oni pti sjezdu mohli plan vypracovati. Ptimlouval se bratr Svadlefdak, aby Hlavni idadovna se jegte jednou segla jen za tim vYhradnim neelem, by promyalena a prostudovana byla otazka, statniho organisatora, jeho prace, a tea jeho kvalifikace. Pfimlouvali se i dalgi elenove Hlavni itradovny, aby gtni schnze byla svolana a nejake pokyny pro ptigti sjezd v ohledu organisaeni prace byly vypracovany.

Kdyby nage distriktni schfize a hromadne schtize delegates neptinesly nom nic jineho nea prilelitost, abychom seali se spoleene a porokovali o na gich soukromYch ptanich stran Jednoty, abychom stiskli si pravice s bratry a sestrami z rtiznYch mist, mely by tyto distriktni schtize smysl a ddvod, aby byly potadany. Je v techto schtizich ohlas toho stareho, tak east° zapominaneho kamaradstvi, na ktere jsme kdysi hodne dbali, ale ktere se zaeinalo zanedbavati: Je v tech schnzich take vycititi zajem o veci spolkove, naae spoleene tuZby, a je v nick posileni k praci v radech doma..cich. Proto nemeli bychom tyto distriktni schaze podcenovati. A jak jsou nektere obavy, ae snad by to ubiralo Hlavni titradovne na jeji popplarite nebo na jejim vildcovstvi, takove elomnenky jsou bezpodstatne. Naopak, posili to , vYkonnost Hlavni U •adovny, dodo to Uredniktim vet gi opory v jejich snahach, a. bude to lepgim spojenim mezi hlavnimi thedniky a doeinovniky.

nyni, ponevan buciou zaneseny do zapiskti a podany elentim celko-

ye. Na jednu novinku vSak mono upozorniti, ktera byla oznamena mistoptedsedou Svadleriakem. Jak mnozi starai legati se mohou rozpomenouti, nekollkrate byl ueinen pokus, aby na nab ptedchazejici sjezdy byl pozvan guverner Texasti. Mluvilo se o tom mnohokrat, na sjezdu v East Bernard byla navateva guvernera, definitivne ozna.mena, ale nokaZde jsme se zklamali. Sjezd ye Fort Wort byl prvnim, kterY mel to Cost uvitati a vyslechnouti guvernera Jester. Aby se zklamani znovu neopakovalo a aby ptitomnost guvernera byla aspon ptislibena, kdyZ ne zajMena, mistoptedseda Svadlenak zajel si za guvernerem Shivers a osobne ho na nab sjezd pozval. Bylo to od bratra Svadlenaka vhodne a mistne, be sam si to vzal na starost guvernera pozvati. Guverner Shivers a zakonodarce Svadlefiak jsou starYmi znamYmi, ba jeSte vice --- jsou ptateli. A jak ve schuzi bratr Svadlenak oznamoval, guverner Shivers ptislibil ptijeti na nab sjezd do Houstonu.

Stanovni vOor bude miti dani schtizi v sobotu, 26. dubna, v Temple, jak oznamono bylo ptedsedou tohoto vYboru, brateem GeO. E. Kacitem. Snad nekdo bude kritisovati, be schtize je zbyteenosti nebo pit;vanim penez. Lee jak bratr George Kacit vysvetluje, stanovni vYbor nemel v prvni schuzi pottebnYch informaci, aby nektere veci do detailii vypracoval. Jak pfedg eda Marek oznamoval ve schtizi Hlavni idadovny, je do schitze stanovniho vYboru pozvan on a tea aktuar Jednoty, aby podali stanovnimu vYboru nutne informace. KdyZ uvaZime, be vYbor se sklada jen z deviti clone, kteti venuji ureitYm otazkam celY den, aby je dobfe Promysleli, intiZeme si snadno ptedstaviti, ,jaka to bude Uspora pro Jednotu.

Jen kdyb to zhruba odhadneme, devet elenti venuji ureitym problenram celY den.

Sjezd by tomu venoval tri, etyti hodiny.

Na sjezdu bude pies d ye sta delegattt, cob znamena, be jedna minuta sjezdu bade 8tati vice neb ye Fort Worth, kde minuta stala $6.12. Co pfijde Jednote lacineji, devet elenn celY den nebo dye sta.

podobne historicke, sociologicke nebo socio = ekonomicke prate. Snad by na torn tak dalece nezaletielo, zda dejiny SPJST byly by sestaveny v ee g tine nebo v anglietine. Pro ty, kdo ptijdou po rids, pouenejg i budou dejiny anglicke. Redaktor si vzpomina, slov prvniho hlavniho piedsedy na g i Jednoty, zesnuleho bratra I. J. Gallie, kter9 jiti pied mnoha lety apeloval o sestaveni dejin SPJST. Mezi star9mi dopisy na g el redaktor zatiloutle psani od bratra Gallie, kteretito tadky byly by velice ptipadn9mi jako east ptedmluvy, az jednou dejiny budou porizovany. A redaktor si vzpomind ten slov vysloutiileho ptedsedy Chernoskeho, jehoti jednou aby potidil pamateeni film naaich b9val9ch Utednikii. Mezi fedi zastesknul si bratr Chernosk9, tie malo dbame o podobne veci, aby se udrtiela vzpominka na ty, kteti jednou navticly odejdou. "Dela y krasnou praci," pravil bratr Chernosk9, "vice nez delame my ostatni. Ati ja odejdu, neztstane po mne nic trvaleho." Je na povatienou, tie nikcly si nepomyslime, tie pomahame tvotiti dejiny sveho okoli, sveho spolku, sveho naroda. Nikdy si neuvedomime, 'tie men bychom zanechati po sobe, jako spolek nejaky soupis sve prate, sv9ch snah, sv9ch idealt, a ten sv9ch zklamani a nevypinen9ch ptani. Casto jsem si myslel, tie elovek, kter9 si zapisuje svilj tiivot do deniku, trpi na egotropismus, totiti tie hleda a uvedornuje si vlastni ja, aniti by dovedl se na svet divati ze stanoviska neosobniho, bez usmerneni my glenek k vlastnimu ja. Psychologicka studia vysvetlila mi tento nespravn9 nazor. Mnoh9 denik mute b9ti psan neosobne, jen ye snaze zanechati budoucnosti obraz toho, co stalo se v minulosti. A takovY obraz Casto vysvetli mnohou zahadu ati po letech, ati kdy se druzi mohou na nainulost divati s naletiit9m easov9m odstupem.

Takove obrazy a vzpominky z minulosti bylo by tteba sbirati, nez se fnalne- zapomenou, nez se nad nimi zavte gero minulosti. Coti aby pti g ti sjezd pfijal nejakou vhodnou resoluci v tom smuslu, by ku sestaveni dejin SPJST se opravdu ptikroeilo? Motine., tie by se my g lenka mohla zapojiti se snahou podporovati naae studenty.

Starg i generace, ktera byla 'cited nami, byla mend cti2adostiva a take merle sobecka. Toto usuzuji z moji vlastni zku genosti.

Hdy2 jsem byl v prosincove schtizi roku 1919 zvolen co tadovY zastupce do sjezdu v Schulenburg, na g tad Svornost Jihu cis. 15 v Buckholts mel na pameti zapracovat inladSi Cleny. V one schazi nyni jig zesnulY br. 8tepan Svetlik, kterY jestli jegte nemel 60 let, tak mu do nich moc nechybelo. Byl on pied' tim nekolikrat ve sjezdu a take byl zvolen zastupcem do schulenburgskeho sjezdu na atraty Hlavni ritadovny neboli cele Jednoty. Moje vyclani bylo hraZeno z tadove pokladny.

Nemel jsem v tom sjezdu * adneho hlasovaciho prava, ale mohl jsem sledovat jednani a take se ho sadastnit, bez needho zaktiknuti.

Na pozdejSich sjezdech pravidelni delegati jakoby tadove delegaty ignorovali a din dal je omezovali. Ptipravovali je o ten zajem, kterY men k na gi Jednote a ph tom se tvatili, jak oni maji to nagi Jednotu radi. ✓ tom schulenburgsem sjezdu jsem poznal, co jsou sjezdy bratrske. Tam jsme se rozlotteili s nagi zalohou. Reservni fond . zmizel do amrtniho fondu.

Z novYch atednika si pamatuji, 2e jen br. F. A. BezecnY byl zvolen, a to do atadu mistoptedsedy, v odmenu za to, 2e se dobte staral o sjezd a hosteni delegate.

Ja a br. Svetlik byli jsme ubytovani u jedne Ceske rodiny. Platili jsme za nocleh 50 centti kahlY a k tomu jsme dostali i snidani.

O etyti roky pozdeji jsem byl zvolen pravidelnYm delegatem a snalil jsem se co nejvice uplatnit se v boustonskem sjezdu, kde jsem byl poveten tajenmikem stanovniho vYboru a br. C. H.

TAK VSELICOS! Jeg te neco o to distriktni schuzi, kterou potadame v Needville, Texas, v nedeli 27. dubna. Zadatek v jednu hodinu odpoledne.

Je velice dtlelite, aby se do OW schUze dostavili vgichni distriktni zastupci i delegati do sjezdu a co nejvice Utednikft a elenii ode v gech tadil z okresu Brazoria, Fort Bend, Harris, Galveston, Liberty a Waller.

Nebude zajiste na S. kodu, kdyZ ptijedete trochu &Five, abychorn se mobil vzajemne seznamit.

Pro pobaveni hudbu nam slibil Franta Vaviik a program take bude. Jednat se bude o nekterYch dtilelitYch vecech, jako ku ptikladu jak ziskat a udriet nasi Dale manic pied sjezdem, a proto by bylo zahodno, aby se celY distrikt dohodnul na torn, co si pieji, aby pak delegati celeho distriktu mohli postupovat spoleene.

VetSina navrhovanYch oprav od stanovniho vYboru se zda bYti dobra. Pouze — a to je zase jenom mtij osobni nahled — se zda, ze je citit politikou ten navrh, ze za ntednika do hlavni irtadovny nemuze volen 701etY, neb ten, kdo dosaline 70 let do ptiAtiho sjezdu. Mame nektere 701ete zastupce lidu v kongresu SpojenYch state, o jejich2 schopnostech zajiste nikda nepochybuje. Bude zajiste na delegatech ye sjezdu, aby ocenili praci naSich hlavnich Utednikti a promyslili si to dobte, neZli na nejakou zmenu pomysli.

Libi se mi vetejne prohlaSeni bratra Valeika, co chce a co nechcc zastavat.

Kdyby ueiniIi i ostatni, odpadlo by hodne mhiveni a dohadovani a snad i nedorozumeni.

Dale Texas byl rozdelen na distrikty a snad kahly distrikt bude met jednoho teditele. Bude si kaZdY distrikt volit sam sveho teditele?

Bude se jednat o vyhovujici budovu a misto pro Hlavni iitadovnu a mame zato, ze kaZdY uzna, ze S.P.J.S.T. by mela mit sviij stanek v ptihodnern miste. Dale se jedna o Atulnu pro stare lidi. Osobne jsem proti tomu. Prosim vas, kdo touZi octnout se na stard kolena v chudobinci i kdy2 se tomu iekne Utulria? Vidyt' jig i dneg pH starobni pensi a socialnim zajigteni, mnozi chudobni stari lide ZIA ye svern domeeku, ttebas ne p•epychove, pteci spokojeneji, neZli by byli v nejakem Ustave.

Dnes skoro kaki* z nas musi platit na "Social Security" a wdle delky easu a velikosti vYcielku, mute v 65. roku veku zatadat o pensi pri ktere se da Za neial;Veli deset roku, budou ty Utulny po vet ,,ine pr;i.zdrie.

Ve stkedu, dne 23. dubna 1952.

Dale 50 tisic dolaril by na takovou iitulnu zajiste nepostaCilo a muselo by se na to stale doplacet, neb vedeni podobneho podniku neni lacine.

Tiebas si S.P.J.S.T. finanene stoji dobte, pteci je to majetek v gech elenti a nebylo by to spravne, aby se z toho Maly takove velike dary a pti torn se uvazovalo neco i na ty budouci.

S.P.J.S.T. je site bratrskou organisaci, ale zeptejte se tech na gich organisatorfi, kolik novYch elenu ziskaji dnes na to bratrstvi a kolik jich ziskaji na ty vYhody, ktere S.P.J.S.T. poskytuje proto, 2e je finanene silna. Proto si ji hled'me takovou udrZ"et.

Je to neco jineho, kdyZ 'loco podobneho padnikaji spolky kostelni, Sokoli nebo Svobodni zednati, nebot' to nejsou spolky obchodni, jako pojiat'ujici spolky, ttebas bratrske.

Vybirat dobrovolne dary od elenfi S.P. J.S.T. na Utulnu semi zda jedina, spravni testa.

Ale to vge je zase jenom mfij osobni nahled, a jestli vet gina mysli jinak, tedy obratim. Proto snad budou tyhle distriktni schrize pied sjezdem dobre, aby delegati poznali smSr gleni vetginy a podle toho se na sjezdu tidili, Na shledanou v Needville 27. dubna.

Dne 18. latezna v Best hodin veeer, vyjela jsem :z Dallas na Floridu. Vzala jsem cestu busem tam, abych hodne to jarni krasne ptirocly uvidela. Jela jsem ptes Shreverport, tam jsme piijeli v jedenact hodin veter, a rano v pill geste jsme byli v Jackson„ kde jsme zastavili na snidani, a pak jsme jell dale na Meridian a Montgomery, a to bylo za dne, takle jsem mohia pozorovat krajinu, ale m0hurici, le jsem celkem nic tam nevidela, co by ukaz'avalo k blahobytu, bidna zero ,domky tak chatrne, Ze jsem v duchu ty lidi litovala, kteti tarn Zivoti, aC asi vetg im dilem bydli tarn jen 6erno g -skerodiny.

DalS4 cestovani se delo v noci ptes Tallahassee aZ do Tampa, a ja jsem ptistala miste ve tti hodiny rano. Tam na mne eekal Mr. Mariak, hospochlt pa11,i)ytowilR in Rubin::ve, u ktere jsem ry a civi 1 7rit-ly.

ii Ay% jsem sc closia la do sveho pokoje, hued jsem se upra'vila do postele, nebot' jsem byla hodne unavena z cesty, take je.g te nekolik hodin do roma jsem spala.

No, a kdyt jsem se probudila, nemolila jsem se vzpamatovati, kde jsem, venku bylo vgechno zarnitenei a ja myslela, to jsem na moti, pak jsem si ale vzpomela, ze jsem tit na to slunne Flo., ride. Po tti dny slinieeko svitilo. A hned rano jsem se dostala tia prohlidku Mesta Tampa. . Take hued jsem poznala, ze mne gtesti p • alo, a ja se dostala mezi same nage dobre lidi.

Viclela jsem, to kdo jednou zavita do bytu pani Rubinove, ze nikdy nezapomene se navratit tarn zpet, •nebot' pani Rubincva varn bledi zp •ijemnit vas eas, tray eny .0 ni, tim nejlep gim zpilsobem, Mesto Tampa se naleza . trprcstted Floridy, a mate dosti ptiletitosti si vyjet podivat se na mnolla krasna mist y. Ja, jsem jit videla zde nekolik • krasnYch mist. Posledni nedeli jsem ztravila ve St. Petersburg, a to jsme si v gade kolem vge . prohledli, a nekteti se take v vykoupali.

V pondeli zase jsme vyjeli na venkov, tam jsme often k nejakYm jezernm. No, nebudu jich jmenovat, jest jich zde mnoha. Naciarmo se to nejmenuje Lake-oLand.

Take blizko Tampa jest misto, ktere jest pojmenovano Masaryktown, ale je tam malo obyvatel, je tam jen malt' hotel, malt' restaurant a maia grocerni stora a nekolik rodin slo yanske narod, nosti, a vice jineho naroda a ye vetgim dile pestuji tam slepice. Take jsem pozorcvala na Floride, te jest tarn hodne navAtevnikil deskosloyenskeho puvodu, ale vetginou byli ze seVerovYchoclu a ze severu, jako z Chicaga a New Yorku.

I ide ptichazi tam na odpodinek, anebo jem -pfezimovat.

Anc, jsou tarn krasna-rnista, a take mista, to bych tam nechtela bYti ani po smrti. A tak vgade mate neco dobreho a nee° gpatneho. Planovala jsem zajet at do Miami, ale plany mne nejak nevygly, a ja musela odjet bez spinal jich.

Ostatni dll Floridy si prohlednu podruhe, jak tam zase ptijedu, a to si potorn setenu celou yYpravu z celeho Texasu, a ptehlecinem si Floridu 'skit na skrz. Jak jsem videla, pestuji tam hoddne p•merande a grapefruits. Tak; jak mi Florida ptipada, je to misto jen pro lidi jit na odpOdinku. Tisice a tisice ajscu 'mealy a lesy, kde jest new dobytka a dost komaril. Stroll-in jest tam nejvice borovic a dubd, jinYch stromil jest tam velmi Indio. Misty ty stromy ci a vozi na pily. kde se •etou na prkna.

Pcmeranetl a Grapefruitti, tarn meli letos velikou &oda, take jsem tam At'avu z nich pila na misto vody, voda mi

tarn hechutnala ,nebot' tam nekde dobYvaji sin' a proto vocla neni misty dobra.

Pobyla jsem tam dva tYclny a musim fici, to jsem se nerada loueila, nebot' jsme tarn byli jako jedna rodina.

Pan Matiak mne zavez1 na stanici, ja odjela do N'ew Orleans, kde mam synovee po sestrach. Jeden je tam v College a druhy je u namotnictva., byl tarn praye ptemisten z Japonska. V NewOrleans jsem ztravila dva dny, kcle mne synovel vgude povozili.

Pak jsem odjela do Houston a do Blessing ku svemu gyakru Josefu Dedkovi. A jelikot ja nada ptekvapim, tak mne tam nikdo nedekal, a ja mela starost, jak se na farmu dostat. Taxi tam nemaji. Tak chodim po meste a hledam, kdo by mne ke gyakrovi zavezl, gtesti mi ptalo. Na nic nemyslic,. jdou mi pojedn6u do cesty dye ,csoby a mile se na mne usmivaji.

Podivam se lepe, a kdo to byl; moji znami p. a pi. Nedbalkovi, sousede meho gvakra J. Dedka a beze v geho ptani ut mne vezli na misto. Ztravila jsem tarn den a nod, a ze jsme se moc dobte bavili, tak ten eas.utekl. Na to jsem odjela k sestram.

U sve nejmladgi sestry pani H. Janota, jsme slavili navrat jejiho syna Mika, kterY se prave navratil z Nemecka a kterY bude ptemisten k vojsku do Oklahomy, na jak dlouho, nevim.

U sestry, pani E. Steffkove, jsem ztravila velikonoce, a pak synovec Albert Steffek nine sebral do Houstonu, kde 'jsem nastoupila cestu do Dallas.

Rychle casto deji se na moii zmeny v povetti.

Anebo naopak. O gklivY sychravY veeer zahnal to z paluby, kdy jsi po veeeri chtel pomoci traveni rychlou. prochazkou. Do tve kabiny vyprovodilo to svi gteni vetru a pleskani yin v silne sklo okenka — a rano to uvita zlatY za,blesk slunce, shliaejici se v demantech krtipeji nave genYch na horenirn ramku kulate vyhlidky.

Takova zmena v povetri stala se v noci z tretiho na etvrtY den plavby Washingtona Zavory, vracejicilao se do Ameriky.

Kdya vy gli cestujici po snidani na paluba, vicleli, le lehkY ,narazik pm/16kt vgechny kovove predmety a lelici plochy belouekou vrstvou ztuhleho jini. A v plochach tech vykouzlenYch povlakti leskly se nailiony briliantku, malinkYch, trpytnYch hvezdieek, z nichi nektere, ac nepatrne, hazely dlouhe, clubove zbarvenYm vlaknilm podobne paprsky. Slunce, darce svetla a livota, slunce, jehoZ oslnujici zjev dovedeme po nekolika dnech temnoty a podmraena nejlepe oceniti, stalo nad ,'clizorem a barvilo vinam strany k nemu cbracene StedrYmi nanosy liveho, tekuteho zlata.

Sveli vetrik usou gel vlhka prima umytYch palub a ve vY gi, daleko nad stelni, v modru je g te bledena jako po chorobe, rva,1 mlhave eary zbytky mraeen.

Bylo studeno, vlhko, ale piece kde kdo se hrnul na palubu do to vzacne Lazne sluneenich paprsk y. Odlesk sluneeniho jasu oldt na kaIde tvari. Na v gech palubach ozvaly se zvuky, jea nejpripadneji provazeji svetlo: smich a krik detskYch Masa. Zvla gtni zjev. aim blue k tomu volnemu prostoru a zarive obloze, tim bylo obeli() mene. Na prvni palube neni nenucenY, pinY a zvuenY smich domo:. vena. Tarn se smich odmeruje, ponevadl dobre vychovani lide vedi kdy a jak se maji zasmati. Kdy'l se nekdo rozesmeje na pine kolo, hluene a nemerene, obrati se k nemu hned innoZstvi zraku, jichl iitrpne pohledy jej pouei, ae hluenY hot nepatti do dobre spoleenosti.

Za to dole, tam na to nevelke prostore kolem a mezi jeraby a obrovskYmi kladkami a zdvihaei, prikrytYmi hrubou plachtovinou, na to aebracky odstreene "promenade" cestujicich mezipalubi, kde jest maize o misteeko na slunci — tam neni nouze o hluk a smich, bourlivY, nezadrZenY, mnohdy hrubY, ale valy nelieenY, srdeenY smich, tarn neni take nouze o vesele i plaetive deti. Tarn panuje za takoveho krasneho rana chaos, v neml prechazeji zrak i sluch.

Pohled na tu smesici lidu jest vstoupenim mezi ()Lyle figuriny nejakeho narodopisneho nausea. Co tu raznYch typti, rtiznYch krojti, rtiznYch tvari. A . take feel tam slygeti jako u paty babylonskeho predchtidce naiich "sky scraperu". Tam se smich, hovor, vYkriky, live posuriky neodmeruji. Tarn rnluvi kaZdY tak jak se mu v to chvili uzda a at' ticha, zabava nebo hlasita, vada, at' smich nebo plae, vie je nehrane, nelieene, prirozene.

Toho rana, kdy slunce ponejprve uvitalo na palubu vystoupnuvii pasalery, progel se Washington Zavora po vgecla eastech vyhraZenych pro druhou tridu, a pak, vzdychnuv sobe, jako elovek odhodlavajici se k telkernu ukolu, pristoupil na zad' paluby k tizkYm, na vrchu uzavrenYin schadktim vedoucim k niZgi palube. Sel prim°. Bez rozmY gleni pielezl dvirka. a vstoupil na schadky podobne Celariku. Dole se chystal prave,po tYchl schtidkach na vy gg i palubu vystoupiti jakysi loclnik. Zahlednuv pasalera s hiary sestupujiciho ustoupil k patarn schndkil a pockal al pasader slezl. Kdyby byl v cestujicirn poznal prislu gnika treti tridy, byl by se Irian beze vieho cone ye vy gg i tride pohledaval. Pred cestujicim vyggi tridy jen uctive ustoupil.

Washington byl toho dne obleaen s jakousi hleclanou eleganci.

"Main take chut' tak uciniti. Je drast, zadivati se takhle na devee, jet stoji a bavi se s jinYm panem. Inu, ty vase oai, ty delaji zazraky!"

Fritz jscuci jiz na odchodu se zarazil.

Annie se zdala p •emYaleti. Pak fekla: "Tu ml napadlo, , k by snad bylo lepe, kdybychom radeji od neho yyzvedeli, co je zae a co nam chce. Vite, eloYek nikdy nevi, kdo mu mute bYti dobrYm, zylaate kdyZ jede do cizi zeme. Ttebas by to bylo nerozumne, delati si nepkitele z eloveka, jehot bychom mohli ziskati za ptitele."

dlibria. 1952,

VZPOIVIINKY KdyS jsem dospel pinoletosti, tedy jsem to provedi tak, jako v gichni ti stargi oSenil jsem se. Vite, device o mne ji2 veiled), A to cite, jak vi &Nee o klukovi, lasce neni daleko. A jak jiS je laska a pia a laska, nasleduji oddavky. Nu, a jak je Olovek c tom manSelskem raj', tak jiS nemusi se elovek o nit starat, necha se to Sene. Tak asi mnozi se domnivame.

Vetginou ti stall pionYti, rodiee, zakoupill pozemek, jak jen mohli prvni sebemengi splatku sloSit. A pak rodiee, synoye i decry, v gichni pilne spoleene pracovali nehledelo se, ma-li syn neb deem, 25 let, Vgichni meli na mysli, by co nejdtive se dluhu zbavili. Mnozi platili aS 12 procent drokti, tedy rodiedm nebylo moSno detem Ditky pracovaly s ochotou neb vedely, Se jen spoleenYm ilsilini to brzy vyplati.

A tak ja, kdy2 jsem se ocitl v torn mantielskem rail, mel jsem etyti "bity" v kapse, inoje manSelka mela vyslouSenYch 80 dolartl. Teprve jsem se radii rodied, jak by to bylo nejlepe provesti. Rodiee nam iikali, bychom je gte jeden rok bydleli s nimi, Se nam nechaji kousek pole, a z toho Se nam nebudou Citat SadnY najem.

A tak jsme pracovali zase spoleene.

Atoll jsme 6 alit baviny, na kter'ch jsme sebrali 6 bald, jen Se bavina mela cenu 5c, ptinesla $180. Za tyto penize jsme koupili par mull, postroje, start' vtiz za $5 a je gte nejake polni natadi, neb kdyS byla bavina tedy i jine veci byli ptimetene lacine. Pak nasledujici rok jsme byli v najmu u myth rodied.

Bylo to roku 1900. Tehdy byl ten zhoubnY a stra gnY hurikan, kterY znieil Galveston i jine pobteSni mesta. V na ger • okresu to potlouklo mnoho baviny, ale d coda celkove byla dobra ,a cena baviny vystoupila aS 10c. Tehdy 8i lide pomohli.

Ja s manSelkou jsme udelali 14 teSkYch bald, tak jsme s otcem zakoupili farmieku 38 alai" Bylo to pies cestu od sine tadu Ilvezda Texasu. Nasledujici rok jsme se tam ptestehovall. . Tohie pole bylo vgim netadem zarostle, takSe kdyS ptiglo mokre jaro, vzalo to mnoho peace to vyeistit. Ale Se jsme byli mladi a praci navykli, jsme se toho nelekali a usilovne pracovali v to myglence, ze budeme rodieilm to splacet, ale osud to provedl jinak. Ja tined ten prvni rok, 20. Cervence, onemocnel na hlavenku neb tyin g a piatele, tohle nepteji ani tomu nejhorgimu eloveku. Ja mel horeeku 93 dni. V tu dobu ptigel do Seaton mladY 16kat. Namara v pameti jeho kiestni jmeno, domnivam se, Se mu bylo Joe neb John Schiller. Nyni pfebYva v Ballinger nebe Rowena. Ten byl u mne etyticetkrat. Nekolikrat u mne byl Dr. Clark, i Dr. Goog. Posledni dny jsem byl tak slab,

J. F. '8"efeik (Pokraeovilni Se kdyby se byla od ohne to poste' vzdala, byl bych uhoiel, neb bych se s ni nebyl Aneb kdybyste byli vedle mne tisic dolard a tekli, kdyS si je sebereg , jsou tvoje, vette, lide, neb ne, ale ja nemel tolik vlady abych roku zvedl. V tu dobu to leeili hladem, a tak ja po 80 dni nieeho nejedl, jen d ye sklenice podmasli a 3 sklenice limonady. Ja mel taky hlad, Se se mne zdalo Se tu postel budu kousat.

Nyni se • to snad leei zase tuenYmi j Idly.

A jestli tyto tadky, milk ptiteli, bude g eisti, tedy Ti je gte po pul stoleti vzdavam vtelk dik za vge, co's pro Irma ueinil. trocla toho roku byla uchazejici. My jsme sebrali 12 bald. Cena byla kol 8c hbra, ale Se to v gechno sebrali lekati sberaei. V tu dobu u nine sbirali cely mesic H. W. Le gikar a John Coufal. Frank Hutka, muj dobry ptitel, vkly kdyS byl bal, vozil to do ainy, a na tyto dobre tti lidi nikdy nezapomenu.

Nasledujici tti leta, byla mokra, tedy iirody. byly slabe. Roku 1905, na prvniho mdje, manSelka onemocnela, byla odvezena do nemocniee, kdeS podstoupila'te2kou operaci. Pobyla v nemocnict 32 dni, tak Se ja v tu dobu nevedel co poolti. Meli jsme tti male ditky, k tomu kaSdY den jet do nemocnice, a pak domaci poklid — a v in•ode taky se muselo Mat. ManSele Jan JeSovi, totiS sestra a gyakr, pak statenka, JeSova, ti si sebrali ditky do opatrovani. Asi po 14 dni manSelce bylo lepe, takSe jsem se mohl vice venovat polni praci. Neco mne v kopani vypomohli sousedi. De gte ptestaly, tedy net manSel ka mohla bYt ptivezena domd, bylo pole easteene obdelane.

A tak my co jsme vloSili do pozemku pet set dolart, museli jsme je upottebit na lekate a nemocnici. Nu, nebyli jsme to jen my. TakYch rodin je na tisice, jen kdyS se zdravi lep gi nabylo. V pith srpna ptigel skier ba ylny. Uroda byla celkove dobra vgude. Nejhor gi bylo, Se sberaed nebylo. moSno dostat. Tedy .ja si vyhrnul rukavy a sbiral kol 4 set denne a die moSnosti vypomahala manSelka.

Neni mne znamo, jak to bYvalo v jinYch okresich, ale u nas v tu dobu chodilo mnoho rdznYch "pedlakd", jeden prodaval gativo, druhY prsteny, nekteti no( viny a vgemoSne veci. A my, Se jsme piebYvali u same testy, tedy ptichazeli obden, takSe to aS zlobilo. Meli jsme nasbirany Ot yrty balik, tedy ja vstanul o tieti hodine ranni a vezl do dZiny. Byly tam

jiz etyti ball,. l3rzy po cYchodd slunce jsem vydSinoval. V tu dobu si kaklY musel vzit bal domd, tedy mne ciSinat, pan Karel Motl, pomohl ho naloSit na vilz a "Nyni glehni do mull, co bys byl nejdiive doma a spechej pikovat, neb jsem slyg el pies telefon, Se se Sene hurl-• kan. V Galvestonu jiS se coda Sene po vg ech ulicich." To cite, Se jsem na vice neeekal. Byl jsem brzy doma, neb jsem to mel jen pill mile. Shodil jsem bal s vozu, dal potah do ohrady, vuz nechal na dvote, neb jsme sbirali pH dome, sebral meth a balm na pole. ManSelka jiS sbirala, byla kousek od konce, tedy ja ji brzy dohonil. mime spechat pikovat, Ivlotl tikal, Se -se Sene hurikan.

KdyS ale Olovek nemilSe, mitSete mu nahanet jak chcete, on jednodu ge nemtiSe. Ovgem, Se take ptispi gila. Ja ji brzy piedbyl jsem asi 30 yardd peed ni. Tu zag teka pes, manSelka cola "nejakY pedlak jde". Ja se ani neohledl a myslel jsem si, nechte mne vleze na zada a pikoval jsem jen to pra gtelo. Tento jde vedle manSelky a povida "Good morning".

ManSelka podekuje, on gel za mnou. JeSte byl nekolik krokd ode lane, jiS zaeal chvalit tu moji bavinu. Rika, "Jdu z okresu do okresu, ale je gte jsem na tak dobrou bavinu neptigel. Ja bych v ni mohl napikovat i etyti sta." Ja si v duchu myslim, to se vi, ze bys mohl, postavaei, jen kdybys chtel. A on utrhnul tu, krasnou Stieku a tika, "Podivej se, toto je tak krasne, jak deuce, to mil& elovek polibit; a vy v geci, co sbirate bavinu cite, Sc se yam nejlepe pikuje, kdyS k vain SadnY nemluvi a vy te2 se SadnYm, neb tun se elovek unavuje." Ja zaeinal bYt jiS teplY a piemYglim, co bych mu vyvedl, co bych se ho nejdiIve zbavil. Pti glo mne na mysl, bych mu dobte po mora ysky nahte gil, tak co by mne nerozumel, a tak se zvednu a tikam, "ZatrapenY holobradku, kdybys radeji popadl plksak a pikoval a nebavil mne. Ci nevi g, Se se Sene hurl kan?" A tu ten mladik tika, "Tak vy jste naginci?" Co jsem mel Mat, jiS jsem to vytkl. Rikam, "Ano". On na to, "Jak yam tikaji?" Odpovidam, "Od te doby, co mne poleti tou chladnou vodou, Josef Sefeik, a kdo ty jsi? Tu on fika,„ "Odpustte mne, ja jsem se opomenul i ptedstavit.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IT IS AN EASY JOB to prepare the editor's page this week. One of our younger organizers requested that an explanation be given of the similarity and the, difference between the fraternal life insurance and 'the legal reserve insurance, This 'organizer stated that it happened quite often that some prospect objected to the fraternal insurance on the grounds and the SPJST and all other fraternals have what is called "open" contracts.

• • FOR A LONG TIME there was a belief, which still has not been cleared up in the minds of many, including our own members, that life insurance protection, as provided by the SPJST and other fraternal insurance societies, is of an entire different type from that which is offered by the "old line" companies. This belief is the result of a misunderstanding .of the principles of fraternal life insurance and the methods by which the fraternal societies operate.

•

•

WE FIND THIS ERROR of thinking --or of mittnformiatiein—even among those who are supposed to know better.

For instance, your editor reached for three textbooks which he used to study while attending the University of Houston. He wished to read again what different authors say about the "open" and "closed" contracts. One professor, Ph. D., teaching insurance courses at the Texas University, tells us nothing. The significance of the work of the Fraternal.

Benefit Societies is mentioned in his. book very slightly, in two short sentences. The seven billion dollars of fraternal insurance in force, and the assets exceeding two billion dollars belonging to nine million members, is not mentioned at all.

THE OTHER TEXTBOOKS examined are likewise parsimonious in praise and stingy in explaining .the work of the fraternal insurance societies. So here we go in our own words. In order that the readers of the Vestnik may get a clear understanding, let us review the similarities and differences.

• • THE OFFICIALS of the Insurance Departments of the states often make the

statement that the fraternal benefit societies are under the same supervision as the commercial companies. That is true. There are points of similarity. Practically all life insurance companies, both fraternal and commercial, have reserve funds which earn a certain definite rate Of interest. The other points of similari• ty are mortality tables, non-speculative investments (thank the Lord that our twenty-five-year period of speculation is over), forms of contract, clauses in contracts, underwriting practices, regulation of agents or organizers, and state supervision, as already mentioned. In every way the member or the policYholder are equally protected, and all fraternal societies and all commercial companies that violate the established laws are subject to the same penalties. ♦ • THE MAIN DISTINGUISHED feature of the fraternal life insurance societies is what is known as an "open" contract.

The commercial companies have a "closed" contract. The "open" contract means that the constitution and by-laws of the society with future amendmends, together with the application for membership, and the certificate, all shall constitute the agreement between the society and the member. The society, which means all the members, reserve the right to increase the rate . of contribution' whenever it shall be' apparent that, such a step becomes necessary to preserve the solvent condition of- the benefit fund.

compelled to go to courts and petition the courts to open the closed contract.

The court usually grants the request, appoints a receiver, and the ''compariy 'has to straighten out its financial ,vffairs one way or another. The policies have a sufficient lien--a mortgage--placed on every one of them, and the management of the company is changed either by merger (Which is usually done quickly), by reinsurance (forced), by receivership (expensive), or by liquidation., The "closed" contract which once looke& so rosy and attractive has been "opened" by court ,orders.

NOT TO CUT ITSELF OFF from relief within itself, should the necessity for correction arise, the SPJST and every fraternal benefit society have the' "open" contract. We should look upod this feature not as a bugaboo or scarecrow but as our greatest singly blessing. It is the safety clause which absolutely prevents the failure 'of the society. There were 237 commercial companies that passed out of existence between 1920 and 1930, and among them were ten "big ones", giants in compa rison to our puny SPJST. We had our troubles, our speculative mismanage ment, but we did not go under. 'OM' members had a voice in making , eor rective measures. Our 'open contract en abled us to carry on of our social, fraternal, and charitable work. And we could have done or could do, in future, for ourselves what the court must do for • • the old-time companies , with closed THE CONTRAC'T OF THE OLD LINE contracts. company is a "closed" contract.

BOOTLEGGERS ARE BACK Bootlegging is a multimillion-dollar business. According to the Licensed Beverage Industries, Federal government losses are $650,000,000 a year in taxes!

Wilkes County, North Carolina, known to many as "The moonshine capital of America," is said to have made 500,000 gallons of whiskey in 1949, which brought some $2 million into the county and cheated the government out of several million dollars in revenue. Some counties in Kentucky are operating as many as 100 stills. Georgia leads the . 48 states in illicit whiskey-making. She and her three sister states, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama, produce more than half the illegal whiskey in America.

Nobody knows` definitely how much illegitimate whiskey is made each day, nor the number of illegal stills in operation.

The State Liquor Authority pointed out "that still seized in United States in 1949 could produce 12,000 gallons more a day than licensed distillers were producing in the same period." Business Week, October 21, 1950, states: "Best estimates are that home-cooked output of hooch has jumped 300 per cent in the past few years. The distillers say their illegal and taxfree competitors are cooking up the stuff at a 4million-dollarsa-day clip."

The article further asserts that stills "exist in every state of the union, and in every town and city of any considerable size."

What is it that has put the boom in bootlegging? Both the retailer and the consumer agree--Taxes. High Federal and state taxes make bootlegging a profitable business. To begin with, the bootlegger escapes a $10.50 Federal tax and a state and local tax exceeding in most cases $2 on every gallOn of legal whiskey. In addition, he is not concerned with corporate taxes, :social security taxes„ stamps, high rents, etc. Erwin B. Hock, alcoholic beverage control director in New Jersey, said it was "generally accepted that illegal distilled spirits can be produced and distributed to the consumer under current conditions for $1 a gallon or even less", which is less than the Federal tax alone on a pint of legal whiskey!

His overhead expenses amount to almost nothing. To set up a medium-size basement or backwoods still costs as little as $1000, which can be paid for with the first run. Years ago moonshiners took pride in their ability to make good "cawn likker", but today commercialism and expediency have corrupted their pride and the art of hoochmaking. Usually "Kentucky squirrel", "white light-

fling," or "panther sweat" were concocted from corn meal, malt and sugar. This mixture takes close to nine days to ferment. With the Treasury Department's ATU men combing the mountains and cellars, the distiller cannot afford to wait; so he leans heavily to a sugarand-water mash which takes less than three days to ferment. During the war, when sugar was scarce, candy was used.

To rush fermentation when business is buzzin', Kentucky mooshiners are said to use "silo drippings or prepared cattle feed." In some cases, to give the whiskey a touch of daintiness, "sprouted corn is buried in barnyard manure, then turned through a food chopper and mixed with the malt'. Not exactly appetizing, but it does the trick. Also, to add flavor and the famous "kick", "a little glycerin or fusel oil was added.

Some cutters, however, used a sulphuricacid compound. . .To customers who demanded that their. whiskey have more fire and bite than the usual stuff. . . .1 iodine was added . . . In some of the larger cities manufacturers of hooch sometimes used embalming fluid to give their whiskey an even greater kick."

Ordinarily 1,000 gallons of live mash will produce about 100 gallons of moonshine. A wholesaler will buy this mountain or basement "dynamite" for less than $3 a gallon at the still site. The driver who delivers the goods to the market averages close to $1,500 a week: The wholesaler in the city will average about as much and the retailer will clear about $300 for his troubles.

The job of catching bootleggers is mainly assigned to the Alcohol Tax Unit (ATU), Federal men attached to the Treasury Department. They are known to be the best bird dogs in the business.

He speaks the mountain language, goes to their prayer `meetin's', and sometimes gives the mountain folks a plain talkin' to. In this game of matching wits with the mountain folks every trick, old and new, is used, plus mystery, bluff, woodcraft and intuition. Spotter planes and coast guard planes are used to locate stills. Walkie-talkies are used in raids. Even wives eager to get their husbands or sons home are a source of a surprising number of tips. Bootlegging is a highly competitive business. When one is captured and his still destroyed, in many cases he will give information regarding the whereabouts of other stills, to keep his fellow moonshiners from profiting from his temporary inability to supply his customers.

To make an arrest the operator must

actually be caught "with his hands in the mash." This is about as simple as trapping an Alaskan bear in South America. It just isn't done. Owners seldom if ever come near the plant. Young long-legged mountain boys are hired to operate the stills on a 50-50 basis. These boys vanish from the still site at the first sign of suspicion or warning Their long legs and know-how in the hills almost ensure therri perfect SafetY: These young boys know better than to try to shoot it out with them, and be'Sent up for a murder rap. Treasury Department regulations forbid ATU men to use their guns unless their lives are endangered, which is very seldom. The mountain boys run Tike scared deer through the underbrush confident that they will net be shot in the back. But when caught the game of tag is all over. Rules forbid him to run again, so he stays put. The mountain moonshiner is a man of his word. When captured handcuffs are dispensed with. Arrangements are made to meet the next day at the U. S. Commissioner's office for a hearing. The prisoner never fails to appear. That same informal code of relations also says that the "revenooer" must never abuse a prisoner, never seem windictive about getting a conviction, never lie on the witness stand. Court sentences are lenient: In at least one case "a chronic still operator proved to have had, more convictions than hp was years old." Jail stretches are not considered a disgrace, just an occupational hazard.

Moonshining is generally considered a family business and the birthright is usually the family still. In some locations a loosely knit co-operative exists When the Federal officers destroy several stills, the moonshiners in that vicinity all pitch in and help the unfortunates get back into business again. To protect the family still, every ingenius art of camouflaging is used. Wire netting; strewn over with branches and leaves, army camouflage cloth, retractable sriokestacks, and to lessen the smoke Chest-nut wood or coke is burned, whiCh arc Practically smokeless.

An alarm system equlal to any ra da r screen covers the area. Tin cans are fastened to brush to rattle, thread webbed along the earth, swtter, placed near ATU headquarters to flash the whereabouts and descriptions of any new Federal men, boy runners are cent out and dynamite explosions are s,'6 off (Continued on page 23.)

COLORFUL TEXAS TRAVELWAYS

Esrly day roads were not much more than trails which permitted travel by horse-drawn vehicles. With the advent of the horseless carriage, road builders improved these trails by giving them a loud surface and taking out some of the sharp curves that probably resulted from early travelers going around a stump or tree that happened to be in the way.

IIVEZDA TEXASU LODGE NO 47 Dear Members: Just a few lines to notify you that our next meeting will be held on May 10th. at 10 a. m. This will give the members and officers and opportunity to attend the district meeting to be held in Holland cn the same date at 2 p. in. So let's don't forget and come to the meeting at 10 a, m. instead of at 1:30 p. m.

Our Easter 'Day program, which was held on April 7th, was well attended.

I'm sure the youngsters enjoyed the hunt and the rabbits. About ten little girls took part in the program. Those taking part were: Janet and Betty Jo Pechal, Minnie Biskup, Sandra Mikulas, Katherine and Josephine Svajda, Carolyn Kotrla, Johnette Mikulastik, Norma Matcus, and Louise Salac.

Joe Daniel Dubcak, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dubcak, was initiated into our lodge; also Laverne Mikeska, daughter of . Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mikeska, was admitted from the juvenile department into the adult.

Our secretary sister Marie Hruska, is recovering from her illness at her home.

We wish for her a speedy recovery.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Clara B. Hejl. ) • 4 • ( LODGE POKROK NO. 88 HOUSTON The Czech operetta, "Deti Slovaee," which will be presented at Lodge Pokrok No. 88, Houston, is a very beautiful and interesting play. The scene is laid at the foot of the beautiful snow-capped Carpathian Mountains, where live the peasants and the gypsies in a gay and colorful atmosphere. In this play you will see the breath-taking beauty of the gypsy fire-camp scene and the fiery dances of the gypsies. You will see the peasants in their bright costumes celebrating a harvest festival and dancing the familiar folk dances of their country.

The second act takes you into the beautiful city of Prague with its hundreds of church steeples and centuries old castles. As the curtain goes up you will see a garden party in full swing with the guests being wined and dined and entertained. You will also witness two beautiful balet numbers in this act.

The third act is divided into two parts; the first part is a hotel scene in Prague and the last part goes back to the village scene at the foot of the Carpathians.

The play has everything: hilarious comedy, drama, beautiful songs, dances and colorful costumes and last but not least a cast of 25 or more players and here they are: Joe Anton, Elsie Dvorak Kadera, Frank

low men. Brainier people tend to live longer, •particularly if they distinguish themselVes' in their work.

Are lawyers and business executives more intelligent than truck drivers and boilermakers?

A surprising percentage of them are not. Of the 10 million 'men whose intelligence was tested by the War Department in the 2nd World War, lawyers ranked close to the top in mental ability.

But 9 percent of the boilermakers were found to be at least as smart as the attorneys. And 25 percent of the men who were truck drivers in civilian life were of higher intelligence than 25 percent of the business executives.

Similar findings were made regarding hundreds of other professions and occupations. This indicates, as top army psychologists have pointed out, that millions of Americans do not have the good jobs that their intelligence warrants.

They fail because they have set their sights too low, and have not fitted themselves by education for professions cn a par with their abilities.

Can you increase your intelligence?

Most authorities agree that there is little we can do to. increase our basic mental capacities.

But there is a terrifically important corollary: we can increase our ability to use those capacities effectively. Studies show that most people have more mental horsepower than they are capable of using efficiently. A person of average intelligence who knows how to use his brains will accomplish far more than a man 'in the higher IQ brackets who doesn't.

How can you use yoq, brains to the fu/lest extent? First, You must give your intelligence as much as possible to work,with: education. A good education is valuable, not because it will put any more brains in your head, but because it will enable you better to use the gray matter you have.

Second, you've got to use your brains, not just occasionally, but consistently.

Wide-scale tests conducted at the University of Minnesota show that our mental faculties need exercise, just as. our 'muscles do:The studies showed conclusively that when a man's profession makes continuous -demands on his intelligence, his mental efficiency steadily increases.

Conversely, it was found that people whose .occupations did not keep 'their "mental muscles" working declined in the ability to use their brains effectively, —Reprinted from This. Week.

to warn the entire community of the presence of officers.

To protect the transporters hauling the moonshine to retailers an elaborate lookout system operates. Some big-time bootleggers located on the West Coast have used a radio station that sounded the all-clear signal by certain records that were played. The lookout system operates so efficiently that revenue opficers are seldom able to intercept a loaded automobile.

To prepare for an emergency ,the drivers practice for months to learn how to take hairpin curves at great speeds, and drivers and guards are always prepared to shoot it out with officers if they are cornered. Regular hopped-up Fords with superchargers, multiple spark plugs and twin carburetors, gear-ratio change, auxiliary fuel pump, oversized cylinders, aluminum pistons; also multiple rearvision mirrors and a special switch for snapping off the taillight are used. When police cars could match them for speed, the bootleggers switched to Offenhauser engines made for racing cars. These young daredevil drivers streak down the highway at night with or without lights on at 110 to 125 miles an hour, with a pilot car in front and a block car behind. They stop at nothing.

It is admitted by bootleggers and NFU men alike that bootlegging is a battle of wits or an adult game of hide-and-seek of cops and robbers. Many stills, are destroyed. Some operators are caught and prosecuted. Others are killed, but the business flourishes. Will it spill over with mobs, crime and cold-blooded murder as in years gone by? That remains to be seen. ) • 4 • ( "I'm told you met your wife at a dance.

Called Because of Evaporation A teacher was explaining evaporation; to her second-grade class. She filled a tin with water and told them the water would be absorbed into the air where it .would become a part of clouds and i ultimately return to the earth in rain.; The experiment received unexpected emphasis with the young pupils when it, rained that night.

Next day the teacher brought up the subject of evaporation again and finally

Few Remarks on the Origin and Back ground, of the Festival It is in order, to give to , our friends a bit of information just why we have engaged in putting on this Festival at U. T.-Because there are several favorable factors that promise to make the Festival a success-. UT has large number of students in the Slavonic Department including the 5 courses in Czech. UT has facilities for staging it and is in the center of many Czech Communities to make the trip here easy.

The staging of the Festival gives to the students many opportunities for expression of language abilities and historical and literary knowledge and this is utilized in staging a very elaborate literary exhibits. The presentation of Teableaux of historieal backgrounds, European, American and Texan, and singing of Czech folk songs is also a splendid oportunity thus being altogether sort of work shop demonstration, for the Czech Courses.

The Festival offers opportunity to bring out the cultural heritage-the many distinct Czech Contributions that ought to be made a part of the All American and Global pattern--. The CZech people for many centuries were in subjection to foreign political power even as they are again today. But they never lost the vision of final victory and revived their naliL)rial life anti became independent, :-hid Set 4111 exann)le of

Finally she said. "Billy, isra it wonderful how the little chicks get out of the shells?"

Billy was interested but he was think, ing all around his mother.."Oh, that is nothing," he exclaimed. "What I can't figure out is how they get in there in the first place."

A young girl walked up to a housewife and began asking a series of questions about the small children in the home.

"Do they kick, scratch, yell or bite?"

"No," answered the housewife.

"Do they insist on sitting up late?"

Because of his innate conservatism he lost, several jobs. Finally his parents in desperation induced -the proprietor of a bird and animal store to give . him a place.

It took him two hours to give the canaries their . seed,.three hours to clean out a squirrel's cage and four hours,'to deliver a parrot to the house of a customer residing six blocks away.

"And what," he asked, after spending a whole afternoon in changing the gold. fishes' water, "shell I do now, sir?"

Ba y ing trouble what to get Mary, Johnny or Joe for Christmas? Well, folks, it's not too difficult. Just walk into your nearest bank or Post Office, and one of the finest gifts in the world can be purchased for any or all of them. It's a U. S. Defense Bond, of course, because Defense Bonds grow more valuable every year. That's why you should buy bonds regularly' through the Payroll ,Savings Plan where you work, or the Bond-A-Month I'lan where you bank.

It's the road to economic security through system %tic saving.
