POSTMASTER: Scab term 1571 with undeliverable coplem to SUPREME LODGE SPJST Fayetteville, Te Ve sve pristi radove schfizi at' si piedseda radovY, tajemnik, nebo kterykoliv elen vezme za iikol vyvolati dobatu oMediae zlepkni nakho Nemocenskeho odboru, je to dfildite, aby na gi elenove projevili lepSi zajem o Nemocensky odbor. 'Warne ho vypracovany, neni perfekt, a mohl by bYti lepS1, ale potrebujeme lidi, kteri by pro NemocenskY odbor pracovali. Ztratime tri skupiny, tridy B, C, a D, jestli se do Noveho roku neuka,Ze vice zajmu. Rozurnejte, ze fSeehno pojiSt'avani se zaklada na tak zvanem. "zakorm velkYch eisel". Jedna rodina si sama nepomilZe, zastihne-li ji ne gtesti. Jedna osada nestaCi na vypomoc v pohrome 'Zivelni nebo v pojtSteni Zivotnim. Jestli vidime rozbite auto, platime to vgichni.

Sazba se ureuje 'die toho, kolik ant dohromady roene se rozbije. Jestli chceme vybudovati si silnY NemocenskY odbor, nenatiZeme se domnivati, M. rad Karel Jona v East Bernard, kterY tam ma pies tri sta Mend, to vaechno vytrhne. Kdyby tech deset radn, jen tech deset, ktere maji pies 400 Menu kaZdY, a ktere eitaji na 6,000 elend dohromady, ukazalo °pra y -dovyzajem,nuslibchotavu, ze to nepiljde. CoZ abychom vyjme-. novali techto prvnich deset radii a poladali je, o to, by se otazky zlepaeni Nemocenskeho odboru chopili? Add 88 ma 1,185 elenti, rad 29 ma 952, rad 24 ma 760, had 17 ma. 585, rad 4 ma 465, rad 47 ma 455, rad 40 may 445, had 20 ma 418 a had 92 ma 400 Mend. Kdo z techto deseti do-. da nejlepai zpravu o zlepieni Neroocenskeho odboru?

Illavni Itradovna hledi statniho organisatora a musi ho nalezti mezi eleny SP JST. Tak bylo usneseno v posledni minioradne schfize, konane v fiterY, 12. srpna.

Predseda Marek jiZ rozeslal na vaechny mstni organisatory dopis. Byl teZ tiverejnen v minulem Vestniku. Jde o to, abychom nasli mezi vlastnimi eleny nekolik takovYch, kdo by videli v organisaeni praci sve Zivotni povolani, a to povolani, ktere maze byti velmi vYnosne pro toho, kdo bude miti schopnosti. Hlavni dovna nabizi viem organisatordm cvieebni kurs. Oviem, ne kaZdy bude miti 'trpelivost ueiti se, studovati a skladati zkouiky. aim starii elovek, tirn merle u neho chuti vyboeiti z koleji. Jsou vaak mladsi, kteri by melt prilditost vyuZitkovati. Kurs neni drahY. Ba kurs je takrka zadarrno. Stoji deset dolarti. A nebude vyZadovati, aby mladik odejel z domova, ztravil dva nebo tri tYdny v cizim miste, kde by musel sam starati se o stravu, pradlo,byt a jine potreby na sve fitraty. Prikladne Southwestern Mehodist University bride miti na podzim dvoutY denni kurs, jaky naie SPJST nabizi, ale cena jeho bude $100.00, krome stravy a bytu. V Indianapolis jsou clavany gestitYclenni pokraeovaci kursy, ktere stoji hodne vice. Nage Hla-vni dradovna chce postupovati zvolna, aby nikdo nebyl ze sve dosavadni prace vytrZen, aby se mohl pripraviti ve sve volne chvili. Statni organisator nebude ustanoven aZ po 1. lednu. Kurs moZno ukoneiti v osmi neb deseti tYdnech.

Redaktor rad by upozornil, abychom zachovavali ye svem jednani trochu stojnosti a bratrskeho porozumeni. Nerad bych vide", aby Vestnik stal se listem, kam bychom prichazeli s kaZdou svou nespokojenosti a se viemi titernostmi. Po sjezdu bylo mesic ticho. Pak se zaeali ozYvati nekteii, kdo na sjezdu nebyli, nevycitili naladu sjezdovou, nebyli zarazeni do einorode, harmonicke spoluprace.

ye atredu, Fine 27. srpna 1952.

Kandy sjezd je vlastne kompromis: — ty neco slevia, ja nem ustoupirn, a do1iodneme se. Abychom viak po sjezdu prichazeli s poznamkami, ze to nebo ono nebylo spravedlive rozhodnuto, neni mistne.

Nutno pripustiti, ze kaZda lidska myalenka je nedokonala, ze vaechno se zlepauje, ze je stalY pokrok a vYvin. A kdy2 priglo jednohlasne rozhodnuti, ze Jednota miti sydj vlastni domov, neprovadejme postranni fitoky, aby' z toho seilo. Redaktor rad by povaZoval tuto vec za vyrizenou na sjezdu a nerd by vial, aby se o stavbe pronaaely nejake ttenice, ktere nepatri do naiich rukou. Zvolili jste si k tomu sedmielennY vYbor, kterY bude pracovati s Hlavni dradovnou, a cokoliv bude projektovano a 114t1avni Uradovnou schvaleno, oznameno bude elenum zayeas, aby teprve oni Bali sva. dobrozdani.

Pokud vie je teprve v zaeatcich, riechovejme se jako male deti, ktere vytahuji prace nasazene kvitko, aby se presvecleily, zdali take korinek roste. Mame mnoho jinYch a vetaich problemd pied sebou, ktere te2 yyZaduji nail nozornosti.

DoAlo nekolik upozornni na Hlavni, radovnu a take na stanovni vYbor, ze ve sjezdovem protokolu nebyla udana viechna jmena delegatu, kteri byli pritomni 16. sjezdu. TeZ redaktor dostal opra.vu, ze viech delegatil na sjezdu nebylo 215, jak y e Vestniku oznameno. Redaktor obdrZel od tajemnika Hlavni firadovny, bratra Chupicka, seznam delegatt 16. sjezdu a znovu jmena delegatil uverejfraje. Je pravda, ze nebylo ri g sjezdu tolik delegatil, jak drive udano. Dva,cet nemelo na sjezdu zastoupeni: rad Pokrok Slovanit z Yoakum, 'Oslo 31, eitajici 58 'lent; rad Nova Vlast M g° 37, od Sealy, 15 elentl; rad Nova Ratolest eislo 41 z Port Lavaca, 64 Mend; rad Bratri eislo 59 z New Ulm, 5 Menu; had Bratri Svornosti eislo 60 z Wallis, 35 elent; had NovY Raj eislo 71 z Penelope, 13 Clear; rad BorovY Haj 'Oslo 74 z Lovelady, 6 61enu; rad Svoboda eislo 75 z Bartlett, 13 Menu; had RadeckY Oslo 109 z Granger, 14 Menu; rad Pokrok Garwood eislo 115 z Garwood, 5 Menu; rad Slovanska PrileZitost Maio 119 z Brookshire, 13 elenil; rad SlovanskY Dillworth eislo 124 od Shiner, 11 elenii; rad Ladimir Klacel eislo 129 z Wheelock, 60 Mend; rad Sva.topluk eislo 132 z Waller, 12 Menu; rad. Slavie eislo 144 z Nada, 7 dent; rad Haiduaek eislo 150 z Woodsboro, 6 elenti; a rad Pokrok Baytown eislo 156, 13 Mend. Z techto dvaceti radii, ktere nemely zastoupeni v Houstonu, osm nebylo zastoupeno na sjezdu y e Fort Worth, pet nemelo zastoupeni v Corpus Christi, a jeden z nich neposlal sveho delegata do sjezdu ad roku 1928. Ve sjezdu mei° bYti eelkem 224 delegatn. Jeden tad, kterY poeital, ze ma 200 elenu a byl opravnen na dva delega-

Vc sttedu, due 27. srpna 1952. ty, mel pouze 199 'diem?' a proto byl opravnen pouze k jednomu delegatu. Dvacet delegatn se nedostavilo, nasledovne men jsme na 16. sjezdu 203 delegaty.

Ku zprive o fimrti feditele J. F. Kubaly tajemnik Chupick dodaya dalgi 2ivotopisna data: ZesnulST bratr Kubala narodii se 22. eeryna 1890 v Corn Hill, v okresu Williamson. O&Ml se v Granger 1908 a za man2elku pojal sleenu Annu Ptihodoyu. V 1929 odstehoyal se s rodinou do Tioga, okres Grayson, severne od Dallas.

Zanechal manZelku Annu, sedm synu, tii dcery, jednoho bratra, dve sestry, dva nevlastni bratry a jednu nevlastni sestru, a 24 vnoueat. Zesnu1S7 bratr Kubala ptistoupil do Jednoty v srpnu 1915 v Granger. Zvolen byl teditelem SPJST v Corpus Christi a znovuzvolen ye Fort Worth. Zemiel u sveho syna ve Fort Worth, kam ptigel na leeeni asi pied gest mesici. Ode gel po ttilete nemoci pondeli, 11. srpna ve dve hodiny odpoled-1 ne. Telesne jeho poznstatky byly ulaeny ve stiedu 13. srpna na katolickem htbito• v Pilot Point. test budi2 jeho pama.tce.

Jeden stark. a dobry spolkovY pracovnik pile redaktoru,aby mu bylo yysvetleno, bud' soukronVm dopisem nebo ye restniku, proe tikame, 2e na ge 'poplatky jsou nejni2gi, kdy2 on se ptesvedeil, 2e iisty bratrskk spolek ma poplatky jegte levnej gi. Soukroma odpoyed' by zajiste onoho bratra apine uspokojila. Bude ale dobr3im vysvetlenim take pro jine eleny, kteii by mohli miti podobnST dotal. Vezmemo si jinSr pkiklad. Kupujeme nove auto pro vlastni pottebu. Mame auta v nej1 i2Sich cenach, pak auta stiednich cen, a tot auta draha. Led i kdyt vybirame auta nejlacin gi, odhadujeme v gechny vithody ka2deho, a dle toho kupujeme. VST^ ber v 2ivotnim pojig teni je daleko yetgi nee v autech. Le21 ptede mnou . ptirueka ukazujici poplatky 182 rilznSrch bratrskSrch a sesterskSrch spolku v Americe.

KakIST tento spolek ma nekolik certifikatii. Peroynavame-li poplatky na do2iyotni pojistku, podobnou nail -aide "B", vid.ime, ze poplatky u nektere z techto 182 jednot jsou pod dolar, nekde nad dolar, $1.15, $1.25, $1.50, ba aZ $2.00.

Na prvni pohled zdalo by se, 2e poplatky pod jeden dolar jsou nejlacinej gi. Ano, kdy2 se spokojime tim, co takovr certifikat nabizi. JenZe kakIST bratrskSi spolek dava jine vyhody. Certifikat je yyplaceny. ✓ 85 letech, jinS7 v 80. Nekter3"T poskytuje pujeovni hodnotu, jinSt certifikat dovoluje pnjeku jen na poplatky. Nekter3'7 zarueuje samoeinne prodlou2ene poji gteni, jinS7 certifikat je suspendovan po vypr geni 30 dni. Tyto ySrhody jsou vgechny poznaeeny ✓ ptiruece, do ktere prave nahli2im. VST -bodyjsuznaeypismna becdy, od, "a" aZ do "z", a jc gte ktiZky, hvezdie-

Oim vice vS7hod poskytuje takovy elensk certifikat, tim del gi tada pismen oznadu, je tyto vSrhody. U nageho do2ivotniho certifikatu mame znaeky "c-p-x-y-z", co2 znaei, 2e davame pet vSthod. Jine certifikaty poskytuji jen d ye vS7hody za mak) penez mak) muziky. Jsou v gak cer, tifikaty jimich spolku, ktere poskytuji osm as deset vSihod. Ty jsou v gak hodne draZgi. Onen jistSr bratrsky spolek, o kterem se dopisovatel zmiriuje, ma znaeku "c-p-y-z", tedy jen etyti yVhody. Schazi mu jedna vSrhoda, kterou na g e Jednota poskytuje, v3ihoda "x". Kdy2 se podivame do vysvetlivek, vidime, ze onen spolek nedela rfa tento druh certifikatir 2adne prijeky, ani pOjeky na poplatky.

Sazba je nagi, proto2e se laic ze zalohy nepiljei. Kdy2 tomu rezumite, mate na vybranou, ani2 byste se pieli, co je nebo lepgi. y teto pkiruece jsou um pire jine a zajimave polo2ky, ktere by nail elenove, a hlavne nail organisatoki men znati. Jsou nail organisatoti vystaveni pterfizmim argumentfirn a vytaekam. Bylo by' dobre, aby takova ptirueka, ktera ukazuje nage vS7hodne postaveni veci jinS7m, byla organisatoru v2dy pohotove. Neni tteba haneti druhe. Neni tieba jmenovati jine, pokud neni organisator napaden, 2e nerozumi sve veci. Kdy2 se ale stale, 2e tam nebo onde ptijde namitka,, pak ptirueka takova je velkS7m pomocnikem zmirniti argument.

Stavebnimu vyboru prat bych si dati jeden pokyn, kterV mine bSrti vzat v lavahu a nemusi. Asi pied patnacti nebo vice lety potizoval jsem sbirku eeskSrch knih pro mestskou knihovnu v Houstonu. Jedna, pani od Sealy zvedela nejakkm zpilsobem o tom, co jsem provadel a poslala mi dva nebo tri svazky starch modlitebnich knih a zpevnikt, abych pry je te2 uinistil mezi Ceske knihy v mestske knihovne. Nepamatuji se, jak knihy byly stare, ale vim, 2.e byly zachovale a pekne vazane. Neminil jsem je dati do sbirky, ponevad2 to byla vzacna staro2itnost.

Vzal jsem je do knihovny a ukazal jsem je Miss Julii Idesonove, ktera tenkrate byla vrchni mestskou knihovnici. U2asla nad statim a zachovalosti knih, ptala se mne, jak jsem k nim pfigel a zdali maul pro ne dostateenou ochranu. Ptiznal jsem se, ze knihy byly mi dodany, abych je zatadil mezi sbirku eeskSrch knih. "Neni mania, ne snad takove Yzacne staro2itnosti", divila se Miss Ideson. VSrsledek byl, 2e ptala mne, zdali by knihy mohla umistiti mezi jine velmi cenne parnateeni listiny a knihy do zameene sklenene sktine. Miss Idesonovou ji2 davno ptestala hlava bolet, a knihy jsou dosud zameene v mestske knihovne. Pozdeji vykladal jsem o ptipadu ptcd nejstargim

Strana 3 synem a snachou. Man2elka zminila se, 2e my sami marne stare cirkevni zpevniky, "kancionaly", ktere moji rodiee vezli ze stare vlasti. Ptinesla je a ukazovala zachovalost papiru, vazbu, mosazne kovani desek a zaviraci sponky. Knihy jsou pi-es 200 let stare, kancional "Lipsky" a "Ttano ysk3'7", a pak sbirka kazani zvana "postilla", v ge tigteno gyabachem (nerneckVm pismem). Snacha Zebronila, a2 jsme ji knihy pajeili. Ma je dosud. — To v ge mne ptivadi na my glenku, 2e meli bychom jednou pomSr gleti na nejake museum, tteba jen v men gim mefitku, ale v bezpeenem miste, kde bychom snesli sve pamatky a staro2itnosti, abychom je zachovali yekum budoucim.

Jedna men gi svetnieka v nail nove fitadovne mohla by se tomu venovati, abychom tam snesli veci drahocenne a historicke.

Vzpominam si pH torn, ze profesori germanskj;rch jazykiI p11 statni universite Austinu ji g dayno zaeali sbirati literam' pamatky starch nemeckVeh imigrantil. Stare listiny, dopisy, zapisniky, deniky, novinatske v3ist1i2ky a podobne veci shaneji ji2 po nekolik ran. Jednodevee nemeckeho pavodu jiz dostalo syfij doktorat filosofie jako vS7sledek sveho sbirani a s yS7ch vSTzkumn. Znamenalo to studia jazyka, dejin, sociologic i narodohospodatsch otazek starch nemeckch ptistehovalcii a usedlikii v Texasu v letech 1830-1840. OtyilL dal gi studenti nemeckeho puvodu pokraeuji v techto .qzkumnS7ch sbirkach.

Fred nekolika tydny prines1 nil prile1 Anton Hamusek, Men tadu POk rok Boastonu, peknou knihu velkeho formatu, nesouci naze y "Leto". Nikoliv, nebyla to knilka bratra Mirka, o ktere narn p11 sjezdu vykladal. Dostal jsem ten kni2ku dra. Mieka. Je mezi nimi velikk rozdil.

Miekovo "Leto" je malt' svazeeek o 78 strankath. Kniha, kterou mi bratr Hamusek ptinesl, je objemnk svazek o 420 strankach. Na rozdil od Miekova "Leta" je tato velka kniha vskutku popis leta v Ceske krajine v pine pohode slunce a tepla. Louky za senoseee se rozezpivaji chvalou zpevu, z haja zaznivaji libczne pastoraly pastSrtek, se strane na strap nese se halekani yalagskSrch kravatii, na ktere se je gte tak live pamatuji, chlapci na pastve krati si dlouhou chvili jadriVmi kratochvilemi a hrarni. V knize "Leto", kterou mi ptitel Hamusek ptinesl, jde o souvislSr, plynulSr, basnivS i beh leta na eeskem venkove, nikoliv o narodopisnSr popis. Je tato velika kniha "Leto" vskutku umeelecke dilo, ktere ja tteba dist souvisie jako lyricko-dramatickou baseri. Zda se, 2e kniha shrnuje v sobe to nejkrasnejSi, co deskr. (Hovel vyjadtil ye svVch pohadkach, pisnich, Brach a tanrich, tikadlech, haclanktich a licloqch vy-

*MS, 4 praveni. Jen pisni s napevy je v knize ptes jedno sto. Ptitel Hamusek tikal, Ze kniha stoji asi tri dolary, ae sam bych soudil, 'ze pet dolarfr by nebylo pranic mnoho za takovou objemnou knihu prvottidni Upravy. Takova kniha by mela byti v kaade 'Ceske rodine, nebot' jen spousta AestibareYnYch obrazkil by ptivabila kaade dite. Je gte dnes objednavam "Podzim".

Dotazttje se jeden bratr, jak je rozdil mezi slovy "archl y" a "archivar. A zaroveri picipomina, ae proe radeji nepouaill eeskeho slova.

VLASTNIM Snad spravny tak nazev ze 2ivota bratra Frank Matushe st., kterY svou pill a i'ietrnosti dopracoval se sluSneho fispechu.

Choi podat zde jell() 2ivotni pribelay, jak nine znarno z vypravovani jak jeho, tak tee meho zesnuleho man2ela, jeho byl ptitelem.

Bratr F. Matush byl narozen v 6eskoslovensku, na Morave, roku 1891 16. tijna v Horni Lideo, maid dedina mezi Vsetinem a Val. Kloubouky. Rodiee jeho byli Josef Matush a matka rozena, Anna Varikova. Otec zeintel jak mu bylo 8 rokir a maminka v roku 1941, v Case druhe valky. V roce 1905 sib p. Matush dopisoval se syYm stryekem, Frank Matushem, kterY bydlel ye Fayetteville, Tex., kterY mu vyplatil sem do Amerilry cestu. Bylo to roku 1906 na prvniho ledna, co 14 let• hoch ptijel do Ga,lvestonu. U sveho strYeka pak byl celY rok a 10 mesict. V tijnu 1907 prijel do okresu Bell a to do osady Bell Falls, mezi same Amerikany. Tam po 3 niesice byl u Mr. Lee Sherley, kde se ueil anglicky, proto2e za rok a deset mesicu u strYeka se nemohl naudit tu tee, ttelaa, chodil do Skoly 6 tYdnn. Tam ale vSichni mluvili eesky, tak nebylo ino2no se dobte anglicky naueit. Delal pak ter na, farme a pozdeji ptijel do Temple, kde ale 26,dneho neznal.

"Krly2 jsem , tam vial Ceske narodriosti", jak vypravi p. Matush, "tu jsem je poslouchal mluvit. Jednou v salone u Voltmana jsem se sdel s jednim Clovehem, kterY se jmenoval Fr. Mikeska, z P'ayetteville. Nabidnul nine, bych jel s mm do osady Heidenheimer".

"To byla osada, kde nebyli 2adni Tam jsem slairal bavinu, tteba to u2 bylo lednu. Pozdeji dela' jsem pro Jim Lee, asi pril druheho mesice. Byl to zlY a lakomy elovek, ktery mne dal pouze dvakrat denne jist a krmil mne nedopeaenYm chiebem. Tam jsem onemocnel po nedopeeenYch blsketech a to tak'zle, ze jsem myslel, ze zemtu. Jak jsem byl dost silnY, oddel jsem od neho a jel zpet do Fayetteville ku strYekovi, kde jiz bydlelo 5 sester meho otce. To jsem u2 mei mel Amerikanti dost."

"Kdyz jsem ptiSel zpet do Temple, Sol jsem si °pet do . saloonu p. Voltmanovi poste2ovat, jak jsem sc mel sic. On tam mel nejake ptatele, naMnce, a sice p. Fr. Bartka a Vine. Va gka, kterYch se ptal, zda by toho kluka vzali doma a dali mu najist a naAli mu nejakou praci. Tak ten strYeek I3artek povida, "My marne dost jist a take mu i praci najdeme." Tu jsem se lined citil jak v nebi. 1Vleli tam mulu a koear, ja mulu prave odvazoval, kdy2 p. VaSek povidat "Tam prave jede Frank Marek a on by neko,ho potteboval vozit

Kamila Fojta,Slova; zbal do obchodu. Mand, ze ti da praci."

Tak ho zastavil a ujednal s nim, tak ze mne hned vzal sebou na vuz, kterY mel' piny nalo2en zbo2im do jeho obchodu. Vedel jsem, 2e je to Oech a proto jsem vetil, 2e jiste budu u neho miti co jist a 2e tam v jeho obchode nabudu obchodni zkuSenosti a nmohemu se tam naueim.

Tieba rime tenkrat platil pouze $8.00 mesiene, mei jsem se od to doby lepe a netripe]. hlad.

"U neho jsem deal a2 asi do r. 1910 a pak jsem dostal praci v obchode v Temple ar Mr. J. K. Lee, kde jsem pracoval s Frank UrbiSem, kterY je nyni v East Bernard, a Fr. Vodiekou, co je v Dallas. Oni byli sedlati, a ja skladal polni natadi a koeary. Pozdeji jsme zaeali prodavat motorcykle, ktere jsem spravoval. V roku 1914 jsme prodavali automobily, ty jsem se ueil spravovat. V tomte2 roku jsem se o2enil se si. Janie Bravencovou z Caldwell. Do SPJST jsem pristoupil v roku 1912."

"Pro Mr. J. M. Lee jsem pracoval a2 do 1. ledna 1919, kdy2 mne chtel prodat jeho obchod, jako garage. Ja, jsem se ale toho bal, 2e al Tide by vynaSli, 2e ja maw obchod a jsem Slovan, nebudou chtit ode mne kupovat. Koupil jsem proto od neho pouze polovici a vedl to pod jmenem Buick Service Station. Dal jsem mu za tu polovici v roku 1919, $1,435.00. Za dva roky a 10 mesicri jsem druhou polovici vykoupil obnosem $10,500.00 a od to doby jsem v obchode sam pro sebe.

kterY se jmenuje Fowler a prijel prave z Nemecka, byl tam vojakern v hodnosti kapitana, dela u rids v obchode. Synove Frank a William jsou 2enati. John a James oba jsou v A. & M. College, ter Frank i William z to ikoly byli vyueeni.

Frank dela, s nami v obchode a William, ktery se nyni nachazi v Koreji co nadporueik (1st Lt.)."

K tomuto vypravovalai bratra Matushe chci sama ptidati nekolik tadek o jeho prieinlivosti a obchodnich zkuSenostech.

Bratr Fr. Matush byl teditelem nail obchodni komory po 16 rokil a jejim elenem od roku 1918, ter Menem klubu Elks.

Washington Zavora eskoamerickSi roman

Zdvorova, udYchand rozcilenim, ohliZela se netts-tale po psu, jen obchazeje ji, cenil na ni zuby a hrozive vreel .

"JedeS nekam do kouta!" dupla nap jeho velitelka a dodala k nayStevnici: "Poekejte, zavrtt jej do alkovny. Neni zvyklY na noeni navUevy a nedal by vain pokoj -Sem pojd', hafane!" Pri tom otevrela dvere jakehosi proStorneho pristenku, jakYrn se belne rika kloset. Pes, vree jeSte, se zdviZenYm ohonem a vithaje zutive pohledy na hosta, priplilir se k noham sve velitelky, a tato, vSoupnuySi jej do ptistenku, pribouchla za nim d yere. "Tak, co mi nesete," obratila se pak k nayStevnici, "Jsme prozrazeny!" vyjekla tato, klesnuySi do Mdle.

"Kdo to "my?" Ja, snad piece ne?! Vy molna jste se prozradila nejakou neopatrnosti -- ale co mne do toho take tahate?"

"Zkaza pro mne bude znamenati take zkazu pro vas," rekla Zavorovd, otirajic si Satkem mckrou od deSte i potu tvar, "Nesvalujte na mne nic," branila se hadaoka. "To se vain nepovede. Ja vas jednoduSe neznam!"

"Poslechnete, pani," rekla nayStevnice trochu klidneji. "chci vam rici, proe jsem priSla . . . Jsem prozrazena. Mtij dal lekartim sklenici napoje, jeZ jsem mu namichala. Rozumite tomu, co to znamend.?"

"To prec neni moje vina!"

"Mile hrozi zateeni a odsouzeni. Sama ovaem do vezeni nenajdu. Vy jste mi ten jed dala a prijdete s sebou," oznamovala Zavorova.

"To je pak vdeenost za to, kdyZ C:ovek udeld nekomu dobro!" pcvzdychla si hadaeka, zatinajic zuby do rtft a divajic se na navStevnici zlobne.

"Znam jednu cestu k spase," pokraeovala zoufala Zena. "Milj milenec, k rah kteremu jsem to vSechno udelala, jest zavren pod zarukou patnacti set dolarti, Tech patnact set a pet stovek pottebnYch na fitek nas obou z teto zeme znamend spasumoji i . vaai. Date-li mi dva tisice dolaru, budeme ;cbe zachrdneny, odeprete-li, jsme obe ;ztracerry.

Mdm u sebe jeate dosti jedu, piljdu sebe i vas udati na policii a pak se otravim."

"Zenska, vy jste se zblaznila!" vybuchla hadaeka.

"Je na vas, bud' pRjmouti a zachra-

niti sebe I rune, nebo odmitnouti a putovati za ninon do vezeni."

Hadaeka si zaprela ruce v boky.

"A co na mne lezete? Ja tolik penez nemam a nemohla bych je sehnati. A i kdybych je mela, nesedla bych na takoyou nastrahu. Telly vy se ocitnete v nesnazich, a jd abych vam z nich porno.hala? Vy jste mi pekna klientka! abych se vykrvacela k vuli yam, pomahala vaSemu blatoSlapoyi z kriminalu a vam oberna do bezpeoi! Velmi Sikovne sestaveno, panieko, ale takove spady na nas neplati. Jen si jdete, odkud jste Ma, jdete siâ&#x20AC;&#x17E;na policii, udejte si co chcete. Mne policie zna a vysmeje se vam.

Mne nezastihnou nepripravenou .Jen si jdete! To by bylo liezke . . Nejaka megera chce zprovoditi sveho mute se sveta, a kdyZ je pti tom lapena, chce svaliti vinu na poctivou Zenskou, na ktere nikdy nikdo nenaSel vlasku kriveho.

Dobrou noc, panieko, NejbliZAi policejni stanice je na, Warren Avenue. Dobrou noc."

A s temi slovy tlaeila sySrm mohutnYm telem prekvapenou, udivenou, polekanou nayStevnici ke dverim.

Pani Zavorova byla ptipravena na yklicos, ale na takove prijeti naprosto ne.

Zvolna ustupovala ke dverim, premySle jic pri torn, je-li jeSte nejaka jina cesta k prinuceni teto Zeny k Ustupku.

Pes za dvermi alkovny, slySe z vedlejAka prudka slova vady, Stekal zurive, dobYvaje se na. dvere.

"SlySte mne pani," rekla nayStevnice zlomenYm hlasem, oprevSi se o vereje dveri. "POmyslete na vkchny neptijemnosti, jeZ yam z toho vzejdou. Budete tahana k vyktrovani, budou yam prohleddvati darn, dostanete se do novin."

"To by mi vynahradilo vSechny neptijemnosti; dostati se do novin je pro nas nejvetSi Stesti," zasyeela hadaeka.

"Ja neverim ,ae by vam to bylo tak lhostejne. Ale nemate-li tolik penez, nebudu na vas nalehati. Pomorte aspon mne k Uteku. Dejte mi, nebo pujete mi jen dy e ste dolaru, abych se dostala zpet do Vidne. Jednd se skuteene jenom o Pti j eku. Pujdete li pak k me= manZelu a upozornite-li ho, aby se vyhnul skanddlu placenim meho dluhu, zaplati vain to rad. Je gte si budete moci stovku pripoeisti. Neni to dcbrY navrh?"

"Oh, ano, neco znameniteho!" zasmala se hadaeka. "VA.'S mua by to predal svemu synu, pravnikovi . . ."

"Cote, vy znate rodinu?" zakoktala navStevnice.

"Jak bych y am mohla povidati o vaaich zalelitostech, kdybych se nebyla napred neinformovala o rodine?" ptala se s jedovatYm UsrneSkem kartarka. "Syn je pravnik, vyktril by, kdo jsem, a to, co se nepodari yam, dostati mne do vezeni, to by dokazal on . . Ne, pani za-'

"Alespori mi vrat'te tedy, co jsem yam pti tolika na yStevach zaplatila! Dala jste si zaplatiti kahlou krupej zlatem.

Dala jsem yam pi-es osnidesat A k nieemuu to nevedlo. S osmdesati dolary se take dostanu prye. To je piece jenom spravedlive.

"Ani groSe ze mne nevySkemrate.Ja vam nejsem nic dluZna, "Dobrou noc!

Nechte mne jiti spat."

"Snad mne nevyhodite ted' ze dveri, kdyl jsem vain sem nanosila tolik penez?" zeptala se zoufala navStevnice, a v jejim hlase i oci bleskla vyhriAka. Bilkova, nemecka kollegine byla, rozhodnuta zbaviti se, neptijemne navatevy za kafticu cenu: "Nebudete-li se odtud hybati," razne, "a nedate-li .mne se syVm Slemranim pokoj, nevezme mi to dlcuho." S temi slovy postoupila ke dvetim ptistenku, za nimil se ozYvalo zufive atekani a jeeeni psa. Ale vz.pomenukk si bezpochyby, ae by mohl rozzlifenY pes navRevnici pokousati, a ji pak by kynuly jine nepidjemnosti, vratila se s hrozebnYmi posunky rukou k hostovi.

"Ted' se mnou takhle zachazite, kdy:?, vas nemohu vice krmiti dolary?" zvolala Zavorova varovne. jeji mozek mezitim usiloval najiti zpilsob, jakkm by nad necitnou aenou vyzrala. Jeji zrak cel'au svetnici.

Kartafica pozorovala ty badave pohledy, ktere se ji nelibily. Napfahujic obe silne svoje pate, aby chytla doterncu navatevnici za ramena a vystreila ji ze dveid, velela hrubYm, spFge mu'skernu ne'Z Z'enskemu pcdobnYm hlasem: "A nyni jdete, jiz toho mam clost!"

Besne zajeeeni psa v ptistenku doprovodilo ta slova. Ale Zavorova, sehnuvk se bleskem, proklouzla jako ithot pod ramenem zeny. Zachytila sice kloboukem o napta'Z'enou ruku, takie se ji tento svezl s hlavy nazad, strhnuv s sebou noes, ale to '2. enu nezadr2elo. V okamMku octla se u stoht, a kdyZ" se teikopadnejk kartatka obratila, uzkela nav§tevnici, opfenou o stul, bledou, vyjevenou, hrozivou, se spadlYm kloboukem vysielm V zadu na rozeuehanYch vlasech, drkci v naptaIene pravici takou pistol na jeji prsa namlienou.

"A ted' hezky penize sem!" rekla Zavorova stisnenYm hlasem. "Ted' mi neuklouznete lacino!"

Ale to hadaeku, neohromilo. neucouvla ani no, luck, neklesla na kolena, jak Zavorova oeekavala, naopak za.smala se drsne.

"To je Skoda, le neni ta pistol nabita, vid'te? To byste mi posvitila, kdyby se mohlo z to bouchaelcy sttileti." A vyu-

Ale Zdvorova- nevyekala, aS ji silnejk Sena chytne za paSe nebo za krk. T.Tskoeila strancu, inSikem obratila zradnou zbrari v ruce, chopivk ji za hlaveri, a jednou ranou, vedenou prudce, zurive, uderila okovanou rukojeti teSke pistole doprostied oblieeje fito -ene Seny.

"K tonauhle nemusi bYti nabita," zvolala pri torn.

Kartarka, dostavSi rams zrovna mezi col tesne nad nosem, zachroptela, zastavila se ve svem utoku, zvedla ruce k sve tvari, zapotacela se a pak se skacela celou tiliou sveho tela ku predu.

Ohrornena, ud.eSend s yYm einem Zavorova mela sotva dosti easu uhnouti se rychle padajicimu telu a napraSenYm rukam silne Seny. Pistol ji vypadla z ruky.

Po hluku vady, a zapa gu rozhostilo se pojednou dosti velkou svetnici tisnive ticho, jeS bylo ruSeno pouze duSenYm, zoufale znejicim vytim psa z alkovny.

S vytreStenYm zrakem divala se Zavorova k telu leSicinou tvari k zemi. Pod hlavou loadaeeinou na podlaze objevila se Oerna skvrna, ktera. se 'Saila, rostla Krev se rozlevala pa obou strandch hlavy, tvoric temnou, strakdelnou ski/mu na podlaze.

"Ja jsem ji zabila," rekla si Zavorovd, nemohouci odtrhnouti s yYch yydeSenYch zrakil od priSerneho divadla. "Co mi ted' zbYva einiti, neSli se sprovoditi se sveta takteS . .." Zmatene mykenky rodi se a mrcu v hlave zoufale Sony. Medd, cestu k spase, ale nenaleza ji. ,"Mohla bych ovSern prohledati celY byt, najiti nejake penize, prchnouti, ujeti do Evropy. Zena bydli sama, nikdo by mi neprekaSel ... Ale jak daleko bych utekla? A kdyby mne pied vsednutim na lod' chytili, nebyla bych souzena jen pro pokus otraveni mute, ale i pro hotovou, dokonanou vraSdu .. .

TakovYmi mykenkami se obirala yraSednice, stojici nad svoji .ebeti, pod jeji2 hlavou eerna, skvrna, ubihajici krve stale rostla, za zoufaleho jeeeni psa, jen neslySe vice lalasu sve velitelky, cite derstvou krev, jakoby Veda, co se jeho pani prihodilo, se dobYval ze sveho vezeni, skakaje na dvere, a vyraSeje ze sveho hrdla cele stupnice nejpodivnejSich zvukn.

Ale napred prye z tonoto mista od straSidelneho pohledu na zabitou Senn s krvacejici hlavou, z doslechu toho psiho narku!

Zdvorova veSla do vedlejk svetnice a zavrela za sebou dvere. Byla v kartareine loznici. Byla to mistnost dosti prostorna.

Na Siroke posteli leSelo jakesi velke, eerne sametove klubko. Byly to dye kartareiny koeky ,je.S Zavorova znala. Hadaeka, mivala je pri pozorovani sveho kabalistickeho umeni pri sobe, jednu na kline, druhou na ramenou. Nyni leSely tu klidne, svinuty v teple klubko, nedbajice hluku, jenS se czYval z vedlejkho pokoje.

U hlav loSe na stene visela velka, ka z tmaveho dreva. Vysoke stare hodiny zdobily protejSi stenu a odmerovaly bas pornalyrni rdzy dlouheho kyvadla. N'odni stolek, d ye Sidle, peknY pradelnik pastaveny gikmo do rchu dvou sten, doplriovaly yybaveni loSnice. Vedle pradelniku byl vYchod na chodbieku ke kuchyni a na protejSi strane chodbieky bylo videti otevrenYmi dvermi dovnitf polotemne prostory, v niz y e syetle a 102nice dopadajicim se Mal cval velke koupaci vany.

K poslednimu kroku odhodland Sena vstoupila do loSnice, rozhledla se kolem sebe matnYm poldledem, zbavila rozpuStend, vlasy tiSiciho je, vodou prosakleho klobbuku, jeS odhodila za pastel, odhodila i mckry kabat, pristoupila k loSi a sehnala s neho koeky, ktere, tenme vreice, seskodily, aby, nedbajice nieeho co se kolern nich delo, pokradovaly jinde ye svem preru genem spanku.

Ani nezavadivk pohledem o lahvieku, ji2 mela v ruce, bojic se, aby ji pohled ten nepripravil o Spetku odvahy, ktera ji zbYvala, naklonila Zdvorovd malcu fiolku k Ustrim a rychle pozrela jeji obsah.

"A nyni se budu modliti, dokud budu zuiti vedonii," rekla si, ulelaajic na po-

Modlila se v nadeji, Ze je-li nejake spravedlnosti tam na druhe strand za koncem Zivsta, bude ji to poditano k dobru, fe zemrela jako nabo2na krest'anka.

Srdce se ji ph torn sviralo azkostlivYm otekavanim posledni chvilky, celY jeji Zivot se vzpominkami na viechny rozkoie i strasti, jet byla zaZila, se ji presunoval kol duievnilao zraku, studenY pot ji rosil eel° a skrane, tidy se chvely slabosti, zuby jektaly nevYslovnYm strachem — ale &inky jedu se nedostavovaly. Zdalo se ji, Ze tak leli hodinu ye skutednosti bylo to pouze nekolik minut ani2 by se ozvala v je jich vnitknostech jinn bolest, neZli ta, kterou u lidi slabYch nervil pasobiva velke rozeileni nebo strach.

"Co to znamena.?" pomyslila si soufala Zena. "Co by jed, jenZ zpusobil, jsa davan v pOuhYch kapkach do nanoje Zavorova, takove spousty na jeho zdravi, nemel na mne aeinku? .O, . . keg by to jiZ bylo vie ocibyto!"

Zavorova dekala jeite asi pfil hodiny marne na fieinky jedu a pak, kdyZ misto Mani zhoubrie tekutiny ye vnitrnostech ucitila spiie alevu — nebot' s prvnimi nabehy strachu pominuly i jeho fisiologicke fieinky — usedla na lole. Z vedlejiiho pokoje, dvojimi dverrni dolehal k ni jedivY plaid psa.

"Co ted'?" premitala. "Neni to znamenim, :2"-e main zUstati na Zivu?"

Ale jakmile si vzpciamela na to, co ji obklopuje kolkolem, na neseislna nebezpedi a uskali, z nich2 by se nikdy nevyprostila, na to peklo, je2 by na ni dekalo, a nad noZ na yeanosti, je-li nejakeho posmrtneho Mvota, nemohlo bYti ho, zaplaiila tu myilenku. "Ne, jsem tady, abych tu ztistala," rekla si s presveddenim, Ze nenajde-li nic jineho, prokale ji nejakY dlouhY kuchyriskY nebo nejakY kus Unary take dobrou sluZbu. Skoda, ze neni ta pistol nabita," napadlo ji znovu. V torn viak pa.d1 jeji zrak na skrinku na stene visici. "Tarn zabita hadadka svoje tajne asi pravky, a jiste take jeite nejakY jed!"

Pristoupila ke skrince. Klidek byl dvirkach. Odernkla. Za otevrenYnai d yikky se objevila zraku Zeny dve lady lahvidek. VAeclany lahvieky byly bez vignet, bcz namsfl. Tekutiny v nich obsaZeno byly rarnYch barev a rUznYch odstina.

Zavorova brala razne lahvieky tresouci se rukou z prihradky a pozorovala jich obsah.

V tom se ji zdalo, Ze zaslechla z vev niz byla zanechala skodlejii lenou hadaau, nejakY i. rarnot. Ji2 po nejakou chvili se ji zdalo, ze se jedeni vysileneho a okam2iky ustavapciho psa zasc zdvojnasobuje. Napjala sluch a pa-

"Cos kdyby nebyla hadaela docela zabita? Co2 kdyby byla jen zraneria, vzpamatovala se, a priila sent za mnou?" blesklo hlavou Zavcrove..

Nave zvuky, ozvavii se z prvni svetnice dotvrdily ji v jeji domence.

Stekani psa se stalo najednou mnohem hluenejiirn, jasnejiina, a rychle se phbliZovalo. Pes byl nyni z alkovny venku.

Byl za dvermi vedoucimi do loZnice, a py1 slyseti jak na ne Akrabe a skade.

Mezitim vnimal sluch neit'astnice slabe, rnekke ittiozy, jako kdyZ nizko pozdviZene nohy dopadaji bezvladne zpet na zemi. — Chropteni se pribMovalo.

Bylo patrno, Ze Wee zranend hadaeka se probrala ze sveho omradeni, a doplazivii se k pristenku, pustila uvezneneho psa. Nyni se namahala, jsouc syYm hlidaeem predchazena, dostati se za titoenici do loZnice.

Zavorova, nepomYilela jit na jinY neZli nadobrY, posledni fitek ze Zivota.

V Menem strachu, ze se otevrou dvere a jinn se pripotaci zakrvacena, jeji obet', aby chopila kredo yite ye smrtelnem zapase se svirajicima rukaina, za hrdlo, mezitim, co zuriva psi bestie saene sapati jeji Tidy, ani neveciouc jasne cc eini, chopila Zidli, a jakoby ta mohla zabraniti otevieni dveii, pristavila ji k ploie, za niu se ozYvalo radeni psa. Pak skodila nazpet ke skririce, vzala jedrur lahvieku, donesla ji k fistiana, vypila jeji obsah, chopila se jine lahvieky, yypraz,dnila ji teZ a na to jeite tieti. Byla by v bezhlavern fiteku pied Zivotem a pied priierami deroucimi se na ni z vedlejika vlila jeite dalsi obsah lahvieek do sveho jicnu, v nadeji, v nadeji, ze nektera z nich piece obsahuje nejakY prudkY jed, jen2 ji razem zbavi vieho vedomi. Ale hrdlo neprijimalo jit vnucovane mu tekutiny a polovidka obsahu treti lahviely vylila se ji asty zpet, na bradu, krk a prsa.

Chycena nahlYmi desnYmi bolestmi v Utrobach, v hrudniku, v hrtanu, skacela se na kraj postele, a ditic se rukama za Zivot, svezla se k semi.

OUR BOYS DESERVE CREDIT It is one of the solemn and eternal duties for every public man, be the public man a teacher, politician, preacher or editor. to encourage young people..

Your editor may be criticized now and then for giving a bit of publicity to some young boy or a young lady. It is my duty to do so. Sometimes a bit of recognition serves as a right kind of stimulus to help temporarily over the rough road of life. Sometimes a few words of sympathy and general interest may reveal, to us that the young people are thinking along the same lines as we do.

Sometimes we are pleasantly surprised at the outcome when we remove our crust of apparent indifference.

About a year ago, your editor made a trip to Seymour, Stamford, Rowena, and San Angelo. While in Rowena, my wife and I stopped at Kvasnicka's farm.

Brother Emil Kvasnicka phoned to Joe Holubec and his wife about our visit.

Later, on our way to San Angelo, we stopped at the handsome residence of Brother Holubec. He and his wife gave us very friendly welcome.

During the conversation we drifted into the discussion of our children. They showed us picturse almost forgotten, and pictures of the same children as brides and bridegrooms. And also a picture of the youngest . son, a sophomore at the A and M College.

Brother Holubec was a delegate to the Fort Worth convention. He did not attend the 16. convention in Houston.

If he were a delegate this year, he would have been proud to support the estab. lishment of the chair of Slavonic languages at the A and M College. And more so after he would find out what his youngest son Melton thinks about the convention's sponsorship. Here • is his son's idea: "Dear Editor: "In answer to your letter, I am glad to give you my 'opinion about the Czech courses at A and M. "SOme people may wonder what Texas A and M College is like and why the new Chair of Slavonic languages was set up al this institution. I don't know for sure why the Chair was not set up sooner, but maybe it was because of the lack of financial support. Money is no longer the obstacle in the success of, this project. At the last convention, the SPJST delegates appropriated the needed amount to this project during the next two years, The thing that is new worrying ambitious students, faculty members, and other interested people is finding enough students to take

Another Outstanding Czech Student Jerry is teaching Czech classes in Crosby, was horn at Little York, near Houston, in 1928. As a student in Crosby High School he had the privilege of receiving several honors, such as: (1) he had been class favorite for three years; (2) he served as president of student council; (3) he was president of Area IX of Future Farmers of America; (4) he received "Lone Star Farmer's Degree which is the highest degree an FFA student may get in Texas; (5) as a senior he was named Mr. Crosby High Schcol which is the highest distinction and the top honor attainable as a senior.

He did also exceptionally well during his three years at Texas A and M College. Thus, he held cadet rank as a sophomore and junior. As a sophomore he held the rank of Corporal. He was also selected as "The Best Drilled Sophomore of D Equadron," which is the highest honor a cadet may hold in an outfit.

GET RICH AT FIFTY CENTS A SHOT

THE RIGGER THE CROSS

A somewhat amusing bit of advice has been printed hither and yon around the country for several years and it may be time for us to offer it to you: If you must drink, hand your wife $18.00 and tell her to buy a gallon of whisky. Let her be your bartender. Buy all your drinks from her at fifty cents a drink.

You know there are 96 drinks in a gallon of whisky, 'so at fifty cents a drink, she'll have $48.00 by the time you finish your first gallon. That will give her $30.00 to put in the bank and $18.00 to buy another gallon of whisky.

If you live ten years . .. and continue to buy all your booze from your wife, she'll have enough money to educate your children, buy a house and a car, give you a respectable burial, and marry a decent man after you die with littie green snakes before your eyes.

• * Contentment is a wonderful thing — but only for cows.

It is always important for us to remember that every person we meet has some cross, some ghost, some fear; but the people who have the big ghosts — the big fears are the ones who seem to tap life's deepest secrets. Helen Keller, deaf and blind, could not escape, She had to live with her handicaps. This she did to the inspiration of all humanity.

We must learn to make friends with the things we fear. I doubt if any heart has ever been 'noble that wasn't once broken. I doubt if anyone has ever found greatness who didn't have great difficulties to face. Facing them, living with them he found life. The bigger the cross, the greater the life.

There are no hopeless situations.

There are only men who have grown hopeless about them.

Can You Break a Habit?

I know a young woman who has been trying for a year to break a habit which she believes to be detrimental. The chances are that the habit itself isn't nearly so detrimental as the feeling of failure which comes to her when she can't seem to break it.

She told me the other day that she had given up trying to break the habit. "It isn't worth the candle to knock myself out over it," she said.

"Don't you agree that it's impossible to break a habit once it gets a firm hold?"

Of course, I don't believe that.' It's not only possible to break a habit — any habit --- but the very act of breaking a habits is in itself a personality exercise which is valuable to anyone.

Where most habit-breakers fall down is in not having the right technique at the start. If they were to get the -right viewpoint toward the habit, they could break a habit of years' standing in a few seconds I mean that!

A psychiatrist was telling me of the experience of a woman who had been a pitiful victim of the habit of drinking. One day she announced calmly, "I, have quit." That was the end of it., She. had quit. It was as simple as that. It was also permanent.

If you have been wrestling with habits, making res:lution .z, backsliding, worrying about your lack of will power, you may be finding it hard to believe that anyone can be strong enough to say, "I have quit" — and mean it."

I assure you that will power has little to do with the matter. It is largely a matter of strategy.

The idea is not to break the- habit, but the desire which creates the habit.

To be practical, suppose you are trying to quit smoking. Instead of giving- up the habit itself, convince yourself that you have no desire to smoke. Just forget that you want to smoke.

If you can get over the desire, you won't want to smoke, and the ,habit will no longer have any hold on you. It will be a broken habit. . , It is a little difficult for anyone to explain exactly how this interesting idea works, 'or to show why it is effective. But if you have habit that you want to break but haven't been able to with old methods, try this formula just once.

I believe I can guarantee that it will work. ) • 4, • To accept a favor from a real friend is to confer one.

TEN TIPS FOR GOOD CITIZENS Do you think politics is a dirty word?

And that politicians are shady characters?

If so, you condemn yourself—for you, too, are a politician, and a pretty weak one if you think you are above politics.

The citizen who abstains from politics is not a non-politician. He is merely an ineffective fpclitidian Who unwittingly serves as an ally of the worst machine bosses, ward heelers, and peddlers of influence.

Politics has been defined as "the study of influence and the influential."

You can be influential—for good or bad —but you can't avoid having influence.

If you register, if you vote in primary and general elections, if you properly "pressure" your elected representatives, if you are an all-year-round citizen— your action will serve to strengthen the responsible party leaders and to weaken the party bosses. The result may be government policies and practices that help you, your family, and your fiends, William Q. Smith did not understand this. Bill had such a' low opinion of politicians that he never troubled to register or vote, much less take part in the campaigns. And because a lot of people felt and acted as he did, his city was badly run. Many of the streets had gaping holes in the pavement, and most of them needed repaving.

The city never seemed to manage garbage collection. The public schools were so overcrowded, inadequately staffed, and poorly run that the Smiths felt that they had to send their children to private schools at considerable extra expense.

Even the police department was behind the times and inadequate, as Bill could testify from personal experience.

Recently a neighbor of his who had come home late at night had been held up and robbed within two blocks of his home, and the police had never succeeded in catching the holdup man.

Yet for all of its poor services, Bill's city had one of the highest tax rates in the country. Bill also complained about such national issues as taxes and the inadequacy of social security and unemployment benefits. Yet he r never thought of doing anything about them.

All of this does not mean that Bill Smith was a. person simply because he didn't vote. Nor does it mean that getting a lot of people to vote is the complete answer to our public problems.

The fact remains, however, that Bill was an armchair citizen and, as such, he mortgaged the right to criticize the

conditions that resulted from his inac-i tion.

Poor government begins at home, right at the grass-roots level. When you read about a scandal involving a federal official, you may generally be sure that the officialy in question was "sponsored" by a local party organization. If you think the actions of a United States Senator or Congressman are not in the public interest, you should lock to the county or municipal party organization which gave him his start in politics. If you disapprove of your governor, look to the local roots of his influence.

And, of course, if your local school board or city government seems inefficient or unresponsive to your conmmunity needs, the direct influence of the local political organization or lack thereof should be clear.

No matter where we find corruption or waste or plain incompetence in, government—whether federal, state, or local —we must look down to the grass-roots of politics. And hidden -behind all of these, cases' is the individual citizenpolitician—you.

Following are ten suggestions that may help the year-round citizen improve his effectiveness: 1. If you live outside a large central city, read a local newspaper as well as a large metropolitan daily. The small weekly newspaper often provides revealing news on the activities of your local party 'officials and elected representatives, on their friends and supporters.

2. Have someone in your organization keep a score-card on the votes and other actions of your representatives, or better yet, persuade your local newspaper to keep such a score card. Learn the rudiments of parliamentary procedure so that you may better interpret apparently innocent maneuvers such as voting to recommit a bill.

3. Attend your town or city council meetings or have your organization assign one or more members to that responsibility. Remember that in most communities only the special interest groups bother to be represented at budget hearings and other significant council meetings. The good public official alway welcomes testimony from a group devoted to the general public interest as well as from sincere individuals.

4. Get acquainted with your neighbors; discuss local problems with them; persuade them to take part in local political activity; if they are new in the community, talk over such problems as good utility services, adequate garbage collection, etc.

5. Try to develop an understanding of propaganda techniques and the maneuverings of political leaders and groups.

A program in the public interest is often blocked by the "yes", but—" technique, by honeyed words of lip-service, by crippling amendments offered by avowed supporters of a program, by repeated referral to committees, by the call for further study, and by a few damning emotional slogans 'that utilize the catch words of democracy, unity, etc.

Look out for the committee that is "loaded" in favor or against a specific proposition or candidate. LOok out for the big-lie technique used by the smear artist. Learn the difference between an idle statute and a law that is really being enforced.

6. Learn to compromise—not with your principles, of course—but in ways that will facilitate effective action by your organization. Group action depends upon compromise. The individual who is completely uncompromising stands in the way of any effective action. The other extreme would welcome a totalitarian approach in which the rank and file follow a party line slavishly. In between these extremes is a system of self-imposed discipline that doesn't surrender freedom of thought.

Your ability to ,compromise is related to your ability to deal with people. If you're a newcomer offering your services to a party organization, you may receive anything but a ,`glad-hand" reception from old-line party workers. Get over the hurdle and you'll find that working with different types of people — politics—can be a lot of fun as well as worth-while activity.

7. As a member Of any non-partisan organization, help your organization to participate in citizenship development and action in keeping with its charter and purposes. In other words, don't try to lead a nonpartisan group down the partisan byways, but try to keep before the group its civic responsibilities broadly conceived. Do your partisan work outside.

8. Always remember that every public issue is a political issue, that we are all politicians, that we can be good politicians, only if we participate actively in partisan and non-partisan organizations. Politics, but not democracy, has been for many a bad word. Yet in a democracy more people can take part in politics and the people can have more (Continued on page 23.),

Don't Postpone Making Your Will!

The September issue of the Reader's Digest published this article written by ,Terame Beatty. Many of our members do riot get the Reader's Digest. Some at those who do get it regularly may not get to read the article for one rea-, son or another. We wish you would read it. And for those who may not have the September copy, we reprint the article slightly condensed.

Even ,if you have a will, it may need revision. Get it in shape. It is more important than your certificate.

About half of those who die and leave property do so without having made a .will. The result is confusion, injustice and, often, serious want. And it is a paradox that the less you own the more likely you are to need a will.

Some people believe it's bad luck to anticipate death and so refuse to make a will. One of these was a New England businessman with an estate of $100,000, a wife and a married, childless son. Instead of making a will, he gave the bulk of his property to his son, with instructions as to the care of it. A few months later, the son was killed in an auto accident.The son left no will, so the probate court divided his estate according to state law: first the daughter-in-law received $5000; then one half the remainder went to her and one half to the son's father and mother. Thus the father lost more than half of all he owned to his daughter-in-law, who soon remarried.

A simple will usually costs $25 or less.

One, that disposes of a large, complicated estate runs higher, although Edward H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, disposed of millions of dollars through a will that might have cost as little as $10, It contained only 99 words and left -eyarytlaing to his widow.

Every father and mother with minor children ought to make a careful will.

For if the father should die intestate that is , without a willâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the law is devised to protect his children from possible extravagance or selfishness on the part of his wife â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that it does with a vengeance. The court will appoint an a:dministratior and a guardian, usually the mother, who will have to be 'bonded. She probably will have to employ a lawyer to arrange for the guardianship and go to court to get permission!for allowances for the care of the :children and for the sale 'or rental of property.

The same laws apply to an intestate urthermore, many a husband puts in his wife's name a honie

which he has invested almost all' his savings, and in some states, if the wife dies first, childless and without a will, part of the estate in her name can go to her tielatives, Also, a wife usually has cherished possesions that she wants to pass on to children or other close relatives; if she leaves no will they eventually may go to a new wife.

Your will should be checked frequently. Don't scratch out some things and write in others. That usually invalidates it, A simple codicil -- an addition, witnessed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may do the job.

You may have made specific bequests that should be revised because of changes in your financial condition or that of your heirs. You may have been worth $50,000 and made a will "leaving $5000 to my brother Lucius." Perhaps today you're worth only half that. To protect the other heirs, you should have left Lucius "one tenth, which in no event shall exceed $5000."

Inheritance and estate laws vary greatly. When you move from one state to another look over your will minutely.

You should leave enough cash or liquid assets to cover taxes without forced sales of your property.

How are you U. S. Savings Bonds made out? A widow invested most of her husband's estate in Savings Bonds, payable upon death to her sister. The widow married again and, forgetting the way the bonds were made out, made a will leaving them to her husband. When she died the sister pot them, in spite of the will.

Don't leave will-making until the last moment. Facing death, many a person deals unjustly with his heirs, remembering a well-to-do cousin who attended him in his last illnes and forgetting a hard-up sister whose savings years ago paid his way through college. Sometimes people dying of tuberculosis, cancer or heart disease impulsively leave everything to one 'of the funds set up to combat these killers, or to a hospital. This is a noble idea, but it is often unfair to the heirs.

If you have no children and want to leave everything to your spouse, you may need no will. Don't make that decision; however, without a lawyer's advice. If life insurance or U. S. Savings Bonds are payable to the wife, she gets them, will or no will. If real estate, bonds savings and checking accounts are jointly owned by husband and wife, they go directly to the survivor. In some states the first $5,000 of the remaining property goes to the surviving spouse,

and parents, brothers and sisters may have a claim on what is left.

If a husband and wife who have used the joint-ownership plan die in the same accident, leaving no children, relatives of each often attempt to prove that their blood , relative died last so they'll get a share. A will with a "common disaster" clause stipulates where the property shall go if husband and wife die within 30 days of one another.

In 19 states a will entirely in your own handwriting, and dated, is legal provided it is obvious that it is a will and not an informal letter or memorandum. If a printed form is used, or any part is printed or typewritten ., it must be witnessed. If you write merely, " give all my property to my wife. This is my will," and sign and date it, it's a good will in those 19 states. It's good anywhere if it is properly signed by three witnesses.

Often, however, more language may be necessary, and without legal advice on wording you may ball things, up. In Arkansas a widower wanted to divide his estate equally among his 23 nieces and nephews; his will declared that the estate should be "divided equally between all my nephews and nieces on my wife's side and my own niece (naming her)."

The court decided that "equally between" -didn't mean "equally among"; half was distributed to his wife's 22 nephews and nieces, and half to his own niece.

Courts require an exact procedure for witnessing a will. In the New England states, in Georgia and South Carolina, three witnesses are called for; two are sufficient in the other states. However, it is always advisable to have three, as it will be easier to locate enough to prove the will.

The witnesses must be adults who have no interest in the estate. They need not knoW what is in the document but must be together, preferably in a closed room.

You must declare clearly, "This is my last will and testament and I want you to sign as witnesses." They watch you initial each page and watch you sign at the end. Then all present watch each witness write his or her name and address.

Some states allow a self-proving affidavit. After the witnesses sign the will, they also sign a notarized clause stating that the will has been properly executed and the maker is of sound mind. Then, if the will is not contested, witnesses need not appear after the maker's death.

The executor is saved the sometimes arduous and costly task of trying to find

Wednesday, August 27, 1952. the witnesses, or of proving the signatures of those who cannot be located.

If your will contains no selfproving affidavit, anticipate and prevent trouble by checking up on your witnesses about once a year. Be sure they will be easy to find and cooperative. If any have died or cannot be found, or if you or they have moved to another community, make a new . will with new witnesses. Have your old will typed word for word if you want no changes, and have it witnessed. You can do this yourself.

Simple wills for small estates usually name the chief heir as executor, without bond. If the estate is large and its administration complicated, the executor will need expert help. Choose a dependable lawyer or businessman as coexecutor; don't name an inexperienced man merely because he is your best friend.

Your lawyer will give you a carbon copy of your will for your files, but don't sign it. A man who signed a duplicate later destroyed it, and the probate court, deciding that he probably forgot about the other one, dedreed that he purposely had invalidated his will.

A jointly held safety-deposit box is a safe place for a will, but it is sealed upon the death of one of the renters, and your heirs may have to go through some legal rigmarole to get it. If • you name an executor you might leave the will with him. In some states, upon payment of $1, you may deposit a will with the probate court. Whatever you do, be less casual than 80-year-old Mrs. Harriet Sylvia Howland Green Wilks.

She left an estate of $95,000,000 — and her will was finally found under cakes of soap in a tin cabinet in one of her four homes.

YOUR CHILD MAY BE A GENIUS Dr. Pierce, one of the professors who had tried to implant in me some principles of psychology, had a favorite phrase: "The genes of stupidity and genius are well distributed."

Once Dr. Pierce started his lecture with a story of a couple who came to the United StateS from Russia. Both husband and wife were young scientists.

He taught psychology and psychiatry at Harvard Where he became a close friend of William James, the noted psychologist. Whep the first child was born to - these two yourk scientists, they named the boy William James Sidis.

Billy Sidis went through all eight grades of the Boston elementary school system in five months, when he was seven. At eight, he required only six weeks for the entire high-school curriculum. At 11, by special invitation, he lectured to the Harvard faculty on the fourth dimension. At 15 he taught at Rice Institute in Houston, Texas.

And that' not all. At three Billy used a typewriter. At four he read and understood textbooks. At 11 he called Einstein's attention to a "flaw" in the theory of relativity. At an age when most children are learning to spell "cat" he invented a perpetual calendar which was patented and is still in use.

There wasn't any doubt that William James Sidis, who died of pneumonia at the age of 46, in 194f, was a genius. Nor does there seem to be any doubt that a method was used to make him one.

The same method was applied to his sister, Helen. She attended neither grammar school nor high school. At 15 she easily passed the college-entrance exams at Smith. Psychological tests were cited to prove 'that both these children were only "average". But educators refused to budge from their opinion that the Sidis children were hereditary geniuses.

Today a large university is conducting a thorough investigation of this geniuscreating program.

This amazing system of education is called the Sidis method, after Dr. Sarah Sidis and Dr. Boris Sidis, Billy's parents. The late Dr. Boris Sidis was a Harvard profesor, a doctor of both psychology and psychiatry, and author of too many books on the mind for any short listing.

There were many others besides Billy' on whom the Sidis method was used in varying degrees. Harvard students with failing grades came to Dr. Sidis and became honor students.

There was a Boston tailor who had one great ambition: to read Spinoza.

But he was illiterate. One day in hil

shop, Dr. Sidis admired a coat. The tailor made the psychologist this proposition: "You teach me to read and write and I will give you the coat." In three months he was writing and reading, and quoting Spinoza.

Dr. Sidis, who turned education into child's play, died in 1923, but he left his wife, Dr. Sarah Sidis, to continue his method. Dr. Sarah Sidis, now a little old lady of 77, is also a psychiatrist.

She "retired" to Miami Beach, Fla.,'several years ago. Her retirement means she is writing two books (a history of the Sidis family and a text for the method); lecturing at the University of 'Miami; and running a property-rental business.

She has added her share to the development of the method, too. Her touch has humanized it, taken it out of ,%the specific "case history" terms of science.

The Sidis method stresses starting young. But suppose your children a,re already partly grown. Or suppose you don't have the time or patience to put the system to work "in toto." You can still use the Sidis principles with good effect, 1. Avoid punishment in all ways possible; it is the first cause of fear.

2. Try not to say "don't." Instead, explain why what you say is so.

3. Awaken curiosity; it is the key to learning.

4. Never fail to answer and never put off your child's questions.

5. Never force your child to learn nor judge his ability to learn by adult dards.

6. Implant ideas at bedtime, just be•• fore sleep. Suggestions made then will make a solid impression.

7. Never lie to your child or use eVa, sions.

8. Refrain from showing him off. • Now let's take a hypothetical Johnny and apply the Sidis method to him. You, the parents, are "average" and. so is your son Johnny.

Your basic tools are 1. love, 2. an understanding of him that will help him avoid fear, and 3. willingness to help him develop his reason.

In the first year, when Johnny's, gurgling and cooing, your love is the most natural thing in the world. Give him all you can. As for fear, guard him against the two basic ones, of -falling and not being fed. And of course, no punishment. That means not using a cross voice or imparting just a little slap. The subconscious "trap" never forgets even if immediate memory does.

In Johnny's second year, it is time to

Stran g.

26

expand . your conception of love a bit.

The rd iior it now is affinity, ,end tbis means not 'only kindness, pa tience. and understanding but also your complete intellectual response to him whenByer his eagerness seeks your at tention.

Here's hew you put that idea I work.

Johnny is playing in his play pen or on the floor, get down with him as often as yott- can. Johnny is old enough .by this time to do a few things that may annoy- you.. to your utmost. refrain from saying "Don't" Don't means the same thing as "Don't think; I'll do the thinking for you."

Johnny now needs a few toys. Dr. Sidis advises brightly colored blocks with pictures of animals and other objects on them and the corresponding words written out. Johnny isn't going to read or spell now. But later he will begin to say words like dog. if, he has in his mind the dog on the block and the word written out, it's going- to help. It's that subconscious "trap" in action again.

Dr. Sidis also recommends jigsaw puz.zle that isn't hard to find. This is a map of the U. S., each piece a state in Color.

As for other toys, give him the usual ones, especially balls and athletic games.

At this point Johnny is trying to talk.

Don't speed things up by force. Repetition is the dull, long way. And, equally important, make it plain that 'everything that is Johnny's isspecially Johnny's. His toys aren't allowed to get mixed in with adult equipment, or his sister's or brothers.

• Johnny becomes two. The words' he says are more distinct. He May even Start reading this year.

At this time it's a good idea to be careful of Johnny's -eyes. Some children who begin reading early develop eye trouble. 'If he doeS read' so early, con stilt • an eye Specialist. Also - make sure that he- gets plenty of exercise and play.

That's very ithportant. What you- want is ft healthy genius, not a neurotic intellectUal. At r three, Johnny pops questions at you about flowers, about stars, about eVerything. There are plenty of books to help you with the answers. Perhaps the ones you will use are-meant for dren twice his age, but that's all right.

Dr Sidis advises trying to keep his education within the framework of general edUcation. Knowledge of his body serves well and easily as an introduction to natural functions . . Also, in this way, health habits can be explained instead of enforcech "Surprises, games, and activities are the keynotes," Dr. Sidis . explains. "His world is full of enthusiasm. Take every opportunity that presents itself to in-

form him. If he pulls the garbage over on himself, point out that he has got, ten_ dirty, He will be interested. Explahl what he is dirty with and the Sneed to be cleaned. This way even provides a chance to explain what his skin is; which is an introduction to the whOle bodY, the Process of life, and everything else."

At school age, the course ahead broad and variable. You can, however, if you wish, do what Dr. Sidis did with Billy. Instead of fairy stories at this time she..read mythology to him. This .led to stars ,which have the same names, as the mytholoOcal deities, so astrononay folloWed..Of all the array of nature( the stars and planets have a special fascination for children—and a grasp of astronomy later leads to mathematics.

The point in all this is that Johnny is encouraged to think for himself.

He will be able to understand for himself.

There now enters into this a process called "glamorization." Billy Sidis was a perfect example 'of this. When he entered a Boston elementary school, and by noon was promoted to the 3rd . grade, he had a command of the physical sciences, history, and literature. But he couldn't add a simple column of figures.

Arithmetic just 'didn't interest him, yet.

At this time a young mathematics .professor began visiting the Sidis home.

Billy met him, and the friendly young professor made such a hit that Billy overnight adopted mathematics as his chief interest. His progress was so rapid that it wasn't long before the professor, who was writing a book on the slat ject, began handing each new portion of the script to Billy for his opinion.

Of course„. you must, give your child equipment: encyclopaedia, typewriter, dictionary,. reference books. He's far More advanced, in many . subjects than you are, Yet what he will become, depends largely on what subject you glamorize.

You must be cautious about this "glamorization." Try to keep his interests general, and let specialization come at a. later age.

Modern education, in contrast to the Sidis method, advocates "ingrade" dev.elopment. The "skipping" of years ago, in which some children were able to outrun others ,has disappeared, in order to stress social adjustment.

However, the two systems can dovetail. Modern teachers are themselves taught to let a child progress as fast as„.he can and never to retard an anti, tude. If your Betty or Johnny is able to read Euclid in the 1St grade, the teacher is there to encourage him, pro-

viding he can also count to ten, 20, or 1000 or whatever is required. ) • • t POPULATION RISE

As our country grOws, it grows stronger, it grows bigger too. With marriage and birth rates climbing at record clip, and death rate staying low, we're in period of our history's biggest population growth. By 1955 the U. S. likely will be 165 million strong. By 1960, 179 ,million. All of which means we're in for great changes and shifts in our economic life.
