Opet vanoce, svatek fdeho lidstva, svakterk nas spojuje s ce13-rin svetem.

Ceskk bdsnik Jaroslav yrchlickk, jeho ver:",e "Vanoce" otiskujeme vedle, ptipomina, ze doba vanoeni rozdifuje kouzelnou moo na vSechny strany; "dues vAechny struny v srdci zneji", nebot' v torn ease lid zcld se lep§i, "usinev v v oknech svetla, v nebi hvezdy". A naz*vame-li vanoce veselSmi, mama na, lllysli svatky blaha, svatky radosti, kdy tvate planou a kdy ka,k1k mall se vyda ti vSe nejlepgi, co chova ve svem srdci. A viastne dlouhou dobu pied -tom ne2 svat1.0 se skuteene dostavi, napinen je lid citem, jihne a stave se ptistupnofShn a ma vice porozumeni pro potteby blitnich.

Hlas zvonti tahne nad zaveji, kdes v dance tie zanika; dues vSechny struny v srdci zneji, nab mladost se jich Jak strom jen pohne haluzerni, hned sttasa ledne ktiSt'aly, rampouchy se sttech visi k zemi jak varhan velke piSt'aly.

Zem jak by Miami zkvetla, kam snih pad', tam se zachytil; nsine y v tvatich, v oknech svetla a v nebi hvezdy rozsvitil.

A stare pisne v dui zneji a s nimi jdou sny jeslieek kol hlavy m jak ye zaveji hlas traticich se rolnieek.

Mtij duck zas tone v blaha vzdech srdcern tahne hluboce, a zvony zneji, svetla hoti vanoce! vanoce! roslav Vrchlickk. teeni nalade se aspori leheeji nesou. Ponevad2 dni jsou kratAi a veeery hodne delS1, rodinnSr Zivot jakoby byl vice semkriut3'7. Dni utikaji rychleji v samem radostnern ruchu a shonu. Nejlepdi podivand je na, deti; neka jim sviti, tvate hoti a nosanky tech menSich se tisknou na skio vSikladnich oken, aby se oei nasytily tech zazraer4ch veci.

Prirozena, pravdiva a skuteena radost deti dovede eloveka piimo okouzliti nadchnouti, aby detem dop •ano bylo nekalene radosti, abychom je mohli obdavAecliny, bez rozdilu.

dili v oechach a na. Morave a pralli nekolik let sveho detstvi mezi eeskm a morayskkm lidem, vzpominame na docela jinou vanoeni dobu nez jakou, proZivaji nage deti a naSi vntici, Vzpominame na ty g vestkove kominiky, na docela jineho MikulaSe ner2, zdejSi Santa Claus, vzpominame na pastYre, na stada eveeek, na jeslieky, na vanocni koledy, na gtedroveeerni zpe yy a ptilnoeni pobo2nosti. Mnohdy je mne lito, ze ti nejpovolanejSi, ueitele a profesoti eeStiny, kteti vyrostli a proZili sve mladi v eeskem prosttedi a znaji vanoeni zvyky deskeho lidu, nenapsali o techto lidovVch zvycich anglickou knihu, aby ta tteti a etvrta generace mohla poznati ty staroeeske vdnoeni zabavy a radovanky. Doufejme, 2e nekterY z tech mladSich, kteti dnes studuii na vysokVch S"koldch, budou od wSrch profesorti vybidnuti, aby takove studium lidovYch zvykft svYch clecleekn a babieek a syYch pradedeekti provedli.

Zajimavou a dosti obsahlou kapitolou v takove anglicke knize o zvycich eeskeho lidu bylo by pojednani o Mikulasi, bYvalem patronu bYvaleho Ruska. AmerickY Santa Claus je vynalez obchodni, 7ahadna bytost, snad paradox (protismyslnost) vytvotenSi laskou eloveka pro deti.

Dokud deti budou detmi, bude teZ Santa Claus. Musel bSrt vytvorenk, aby detska obra,zotvornost mohla bSrti uspokojena.

Kdy2 bychom vgak patrali v davne minulost, naSli bychom jmeno biskupa MikulaSe, kterSi Zil v Syrii ye 4. stoleti 'a kterY vykonal mnoho dobra pro deli ye svem okoli. Den jeho &nth, ptipadajici na 6. prosince, se dosud oslavuje po eels stl'edni Evrope. Legendy a povesti o biskupu MikulaS1 byly velice znarne a oblibene mezi rusk rm lidem. Z Ruska pavesti o Mikula gi pteneseny byly k jinS/m slovanskS7m narodtim. Od slovanskSrch kmenii na Polabi a ze stykti se slovanskYnal Valety v dneSnim Nemecku dostalo se jmeno biskupa MikulaS'e, vlastrie svateho Mikulage, patrona ruskeho lidu, ai do Holandska. Jako dame deti na, 6. prosince, a pozdeji ye veeer vanaeni, jeho jmeno bylo zkornoleno na Saint Klaus, pozdeji na Santa Claus. Pod timto jmenem ptiSel MikulaS i do Ameriky s terni holandskSimi osadniky, o nichZ Ctete v historickein nomain' "Pan na eeske face". Az nekdy nekterS7 z na`Sich inladch studujicich, parzbuzen sv)iin profesorem, zaene psati a zvycich eeskeho lidu, ptijde se teZ na slovanskST ptivod arnerickeho Santa Clause.

SlovanskS, svatY Mikulag a americkY Santa Claus, trebas maji stejnY jsou velmi rozdilnYmi. Pouze jejich nadilka dal je velm pi-ibuzna. Svatk MikuclaS nikdy necestoval se stfechy na strechu a korninem dolU. Obyeejne kolem 6. prosince choclil od domu k domu v prtivodu andela a eerta. Napred se ozval

VC 6tkedu,

dne 24. prosince 1952.

ptedsince zvonek, Mikula govo zacinkani, a hned nato zasvi gtely po oknech pruty Berta a zarachotil tetez. Pak ve gel svatY Mikulat v dlouhem bilem havu, s biskupskou eepici na hlave, v 'eve ruce biskupska berla, v prave ruce posttibitenY prut.

Hned za nim ve gel andel a za Omit° d yema se vehnal do svetnice Cert. Rachotil tetezem a nahanel Mem hrfizu. Maminky mely co delat, aby male deti byly utieny. Ale Mikulag nebyl zly. Ten chtel jen vedet, zdali se (let umi modlit nebo jestli jsou poslu gne a hodne. Podaroval deti otechy, ovocem, 'lady tez pti gla nejaka zyla gtni lahtidka jako pomdrane nebo sugene fiky.

Hraeky pro deti a Rile darky pirgly na StedrY veeer. V anglietine neni slova, ktere by vystihlo naladu toho nazyu "-gtedrYT veaer". Mohli bychom lice "generous, bountiful, liberal, munificent", ale to vge neznarnena je gte eesky Byl to jednoduk den a veeer pro darky a nadilky. Temto darken se tikalo, Ze se dostaly "k Jeligku".

Dejiny nam vypravuji, ze vanoeni stromeeek nema nic spoleeneho s naboknskYmi obtady. Naopak, vanoent stromek le zbytkem z dob pohanskYch, tedy ja kousi chybou pti variant oslave. Detem je to jedno, jak je puvod vanodniho stromku, jen kdy stromek maji. A obchodu s vanoenimi stromky take negkodi pohanskY puvod tohoto zvyku. Letogni odhad ve SpojenYch statech bude asi 32 milione stromku v cene 50 milionft delaLetogni stromky byly vet ginou nasekany minule zimy, kdy stromky nemely mazy, ulcdeny do chladnYch skladi gt' a dopIneny teprve na podzim dalsimi zo.sobami.

Jiny noveji zvyk pri °slave vanoe je pouZivani rostliny, zvane jmeli, anglicky mistletoe. Vetvieka jmeli zavesi se do prachodu dveti, pod lustr a podobne.

Jmeli je cizopasna, podivna rostlina, roste ye vetvich stromt. Semeno rost liny 3e ptenakno trusem ptaku. Ve staroveku keltieti Druidove ptipisovali jmeli, ktere bylo nalezeno na dubech, zazraenou moc a rostlina byla poldivana nabdenskYch obtadech. Odtud asi zvyk, ze kdo koho dotiadne na 8tecirSt veeer pod vetvieltou jmeli, ma pravo ho zlibati.

Amerieka, obehodni reklama hodne zneuNva svateeni nalady ptedvanodni doby. Dnes konaji se prave zavody, aby Mem dostalo se v geho, co lidsky dtimysl vymyslil. Tisice a tisice se ptimo vyhazeji za \r eti luxusni, bez uvazeni,ze darek takovY neposkytne diteti ani zdaleka to lik radosti jako by poskytla hraeka laodpovidajici du gevni chapavosti a obrazotvornosti ditete. 0 kolik skromnejg iml museli jsme Witt my pted padesati lety. Mnohdy nejvitanelsim darkem byla nejaka pohaclkova kniika. Darky pro

Mem zde v Americe. Odhaduji, k to byla jedind eeska kniZka z mnoha tech, ktere jsem cram Ceti, na nid synove a deera si pamatuji. Minuleho leta byla kniZka "Broueci" vyda.na v Chicagu. Kdo by kniZku chtel objednati, at' dopig e na adresu: Dr. Chas. A. Chval, 5700 Eastwcod. Chicago 30, Illinois, ptilai papirovY dolar (cena je pouze 60 tenth) a arnericke vyclani knihy "Broueci" bude mu zaslano. A zase lituji, .Ze nenage) se dosud nikdo meal americkymi eeskebo 4tIvodu, kdo by pteloZil tuto perlieku -eeskYch deli pro mla.cle2 americkou.

Na tajemniky d(timacich radii prichazi v dobe ptedvanoent hodne dopise, v nichZ jsou Zadosti o podporu to et one organisace. Matice Vy ggiho Vzdelani rozeslala zadatkem prosince zpravu sveho pftsobeni za 50 let sve existence. Matice Vyggiho Vzdelani byla zalokna v roku 1902 v CedarRapids, Iowa.

Za 50 rokft sve existence Matice Vyggiho Vzdelani z Chicaga vypomohia 338 studenttim, z nichZ 50 studentt bylo z Texasu. PonevadZ v dtivej gich letech bylo nekdy pet nebo vice student-O. z Texasu, kteti dostavali finanern pomoc od Matice, zalokna byla ✓ Texasu podobna organisace, nesouci jineno Texaska Matice Vy ggiho Vzdelani.

Bylo by zahodno, aby take Texaska Matice podala krajanske vetejnosti zpravu o svem pfisobeni, svem finananim stavu a o poetu syYch chranenct.

Ponevadi sam patilm mezi US-vale chranence Matice z Chicaga, vysvetlim vYznam techto dvou instituci, Matice z Chicaga a Texaske Melee. Ned 40 lety pracoval jsem v Ceske tiskarne, ale angli• cky jsem neumel. Nebyl jsem je gte pinoletY. Tenkrate 6, sjezd SPJST, konanY v Granger, utvotil nadaci v obnosu $300 na podporu chudYch deskYch studujicich.

Kdyby je tak svaael na kare, ua predem vim, jak by to dopadlo. "Kdya ua si tady, toa ti darn penize do schtize, ja tam nemusim bYt," coa je tea pravda, kdo na to tak hledi. Ale pak to psani, zvani, nabadani k povinnoSti k radu. a Jednote je mlaceni prazdne slamy a hazeni hrachu na zed'.

Tak abyste bratti vedeli arednici pro rok 1953 byli zvoleni vaichni stari, coa je pravda, neb kaady ua ma hiavu po- I motionenou. Predseda: Roy Budek; mi--1 stopredseda :Anton Till; tajemnik: Ferd.

Redaktor Vestniku nabadal, by ye vYrodnich schazich se pojednalo o NemOcenskem odboru. Myslim,ze na g predseda na to zapomnel, nebo Vestnik neete, spig to druhe.

Toa neco o tom Nemocenskern odboru.

Kdya, odbor byl zaloaen, mei slibnY zadatek. Aspon u nas se jich prihlasilo nejmene dvacet, mam o tom zaznamy. Ale nevim, melo -li to bYt nejakYm lakadlem, ae vstupne na Olena ustanoveno padesat centa (jestli se totia nemylim), ale pak mnozi elenove mySleli, ae bude za Indio penez hodne muziky, ae mohou tahnout podporu dvakrat i trikrat do roka. Pro vysvetlenou, takovem hospodar-stvi by odbor dlouho neail, bylo zle.

Jiny pripad: Zenu v poaehnanem stavu, mtta dal zapsat do Nemocenskeho odboru, kdoa to vedel? A kdya za etyri di pet mesica aadal podporu a po vysvetleni, ae takova sestra nema byti prijata do NemocenskehO odboru, zas to tajemnik odnesl. Potom se divte, ae to vazne, a tak jeden po druhem to zahodil, as jsme to z rortrpeenosti zahodili vaichni.

Zaloait neco je snadnejSi veci nea udraet to v dobrem chodu. Ted' vlastno Nemocensky odbor aivori. Ovgem, k na.prave neni nikdy pozde ,ale musi bYt do-. bra, a pevna. vale. "Bez kurdae a bez chuti, ani provazek sa neukruti" •ikala u nas jedna stard ba.bieka; a ja zas rikam: "S chuti a trochu kurdae, jako Vojak do menace (do jidla) a piljde to".

"Dues koneene uvidime, jak nam tu price pfijde," tekl s pocitem filevy. "Jak jsem rad, ze bude po nejistotach!"

Hetnian se bezdeky zastavil, aby se divii obrazum, jeZ si v nreem nezadavaly virginskemu raji a jen jako by chtely i zavodit se zapadoindickS7mi tropy. A piistihl se, jak s poZitkem dStcha vzduch lahodnS7 a sunk jako vino.

"Ubirajice se do mesta, Hetman a Waldron mijeli kremu "U dvou pardaltr.

Nad nizkSqn vchodem se yznagel dtevenS7 korbel, bachratSt a zardelS7 jako . .

Haman chtel v duchu tici "jako hlava krematova", kdy tu se mu zdalo, ze za malym zelenSim okenkem vidi tvat je'Ste pravS, meloun. Ale i Waldron sebou trhl.

"NemS'lim-li se, pane Heimane," dukne pravil, "kmitl se v otevtene chodbe nekdo, kdo je zatracene podoben Dirk Schuilerovi. Zastavme se tu na krapet vina," navrhoval.

Hermanove Cistern Cele vystoupila ruda prima Cara. Ale otoeiv 'se, Herman se studenYm klidem pronesi: "Bouda "U dvou pardalti".me neuvidi, co Ziv budu. Veera jsme sem vstoupili z nevedomosti, jako cizinci. Ptejit vSak tento prah po druhe by znamenalo vice, nee jen si pbSpinit ()buy."

0 ptihocle jiz nemluvili. Pouze se 0-Zell po eloveku, kterS7 by jim mohi oznaCit sidlo guvernerovo.

Cowboy, jen ptiji2del proti nim s povbzem, ukazal na vzdalene jednoduche staveni, na nemZ rozeznavali jedno poschodi. KdyZ se ptiblilili call se pied -ptijernmim venkovskVin sidlem. DillY1 se dival na SirSi prostoik pied cestou jen dvema okny v ptizemi a ttemi nahofe. VSechna okna mela .okenice, nyni otevtene. Byla dosti vysoka: mela po ti'ech tabulkach v sesti tadach nad sebou. Nad pravidelnS r -mi,obyejnS7dvtszihalk, naklonena stfi gka. Dum s dojmem yenkovske anglicke cottage stal ye stinu statneho derveneho dubu.

Ve Svatem Mati nevyspavali cele dopaledne jako vetAinou v Novem Amsterodamn. Guverner ittadoval, nebot' pied &mem, jen ovkm pinil i fine dkoly, bylo Zivo. Ptiji2deli sem osadnici nakonich, daStojnici i mistni hodnostati. V tesne chodbe Tide do sebe strkali.

Novoholandskeho poselstva jako by ne• bylo. Nikdo se o poselstvo nezajimal. Herman zprvu sledoval se zajmem v§echen ruch. A kdy se chystal, ze se pozepta po guvernerove pracovne, vySel z jednech dveti. 'muZ, jeho si povAiml- jednak pro napadne vysokou postavu dtistojnika a pro tahlou pricni jizvu na prave tvati.

Eilavne tato jizva vzbudila pojednou v Hetmanove pameti jednu vzpominku.

Bylo to pied nejakStmi dvaceti lety v Jamestownu.

On, Hetman, naklada.1 jednu ze sySrch prySich zasilek tabaku, ureenott pro Amsterodam. Po skoneenem dohledu zaskoCil do ptistavni kremy, aby pojedi. se tu v kouti a pachu koialky cela mezinarodni spcleenost: Spahele, Portugalci, Francouzi, Skandinavci a ov gem i mistni Yankejove. Pojednou se strhla jedna z obligatnich vSednosti: rvadka. Kdosi nazval Virginske zlodeji dobytka. Nemohlo byti hrozivejSi uraZky dornacich. Nebot' jim se nardZelo na ostudnV ptipad virginskeho guvernera Petta, jen pied tim skuteene byl odsouzen prO krade2 dobytka. Pravda, Pett uZ v tirade nebyl, avSak ob.vineni se v2tahovalo je S . te na dobu, kdy vykondval guvernerskS, fitad. A afera ziskala na pikantnosti je§te, tim, ze odsouzeni Petta' bylo prvnim verdiktem, jen vynesla prune jmenovana porota. Rozsudek byl stateenV a slouZil virginske spravedlnosti ke cti. AvSak virginskV patriot byl od to doby nebezpedne citliVST

na urfiZku o zlodejstvi dobytka. Nazvat pak Virg;inske ()beetle zlodeji dobytka byla uraka, .jen mohla bYti smazana toliko krvi. A krvi se take vyrizovala uraZka, ji2 se Herman bezdeky stal svedkem.

Jen& proti opilym namotnikilm byli mistni obeane v rnenAine a jen jeden z rich byl ozbrojen kordem. ttoenici na neho dotirali piilis nebezpeene. Hetmanovi to nedalo, aby se neujal slabSich. Fie kordu mladeho Yankeje se pildruZil i jeho -a boji'Ste bylo opanovano.

"U svateho Vaclava," zvolal nyni Herman, "toto je prece pritel Hollingsworth."

OslovenY se zastavil, uptel na Hermana patravY ponied, ale okainZite se rozzatil, rozptahl narrie a ne bez pohnuti zajasal; "Augustin Herman --- a tady ye .Svate Mali!"

Objali se, poplacali a Heiman piedstavil Roselveda Waldrona.

"A neptiSil jste do Marylandu prodavat tabak?" zaZertoval setnik.

"Neptina gime soc do Atha'," odpovedel.

"Jsme tu v diplomatickem poslani."'

f" Governer vyzval Hermana, aby prednesl, co mu bylo olden°. Herman se zvedl a s povetujicimi listinami v ruce pravil: "Vane Excelence! Panove! Ja a zde pan Resolved Waldron byli jsme povereni Jeho Excelenci Petrem Stuyvesantem, gu* .= vernerern Noveho Holandska, abychom primYm jednanim pratelsky vysvetlili a vyreSili otazku nzemi delawarskeho proti jeho suverenni holandske sprave ma no.mitky Jeho Milost lord Baltimore, pan Marylandu.

Herman se odmleel. Jeho vecnY nvod byl strueny a vynikal promy glenosti. Upjat' plukovnik marne v nem hledal zaminku k tomu, aby se urazil a zamezil jednani ji2 v zakatcich. Podobne guver/ler nemohl ani Mere tohoto formalniho projevu vytknouti nejmenSlho. Setnik Hollingsworth se na zidli zaklatil sem a tam, nemoha Heimanovi vysloviti primou pochvalu. A Waldron, jehd se zmocriovala beznadejna stisnenost pod krovy teto tesne budovy, vydechl pojednou volneii a nadejneji.

Governer, stale zdrknlivy a vyekavajici, povstal, aby prijal listiny. Sotva se vgak podival na pismo, odmitave zvolal: "Panove mi p •edkladaji listiny, kterYm bobtdel nerozumim. Neznam holandsky a nikdo z nas panove — jak se domluvime?"

"Excelence, jsem ochoten obsah listin pretlumoeit," Herman odpovedel. "Nebo poveri Excelence sama nekoho, kdo by zneni listin p•eldil?"

"Milk pane Hermane, ye Svate Mari nenajdete nikoho, kdo by ovIddal jazyk vane zeme."

Trapna pomlka. Plukovnik zjasnil svoji zakabonenou masku. Ozval se v'k.k Hollingsworth.

"Kdyby Excelence dovolila," pravil, "doporueil bych °beam, Simona Oversee.

Dli prave v budove."

Governer se pobledem dotazal plukovnika, souhlasi-li s navrhem. Ten lehce pokynul. "Setniku, povolejte pana oversee," vyzval guverner.

Po chvilce se objevil asi petaetyricetiletY mtd neureiteho typu. Chopil se nejprve poverovaci listiny. Ukazalo se, .'e";e cbsah je dosti obgirnY.

VESTNIK WEST, TEXAS

Prrivodni dopis se zabYval meritorni strankou vyvolaneho pripadu. Vyslovoval podiv guvernera Stuyvesanta nad Urn, ze plukonik Utie vyzval obyvatele delawarskeho uzemi, aby vyldidili sva sidla, a upiral pra y() k takovemo jednani. Stejne odmital obsah dopisu, jej plukovnik zanechal v Novem Amstelu, a oznaeoval je za carte•bell, jd nemide bYti vzata na vedomi.

Plukovnik sebou doteen pohnul. "To vlastrae zna.mend konec jednani, je:Ste nd se zaealo," protestoval. — NeChame tedy rozhodovati mOc!"

S Venn slovy poldil Herman na stril pied governera z ylagtoi svitek perL gamenu.

Governer opet vyslal letmY pohled sinerem k plukovnikovi. A jakoby od plukovnika dostal elekrickou odpoved', prohla,sil: "Neueinime dnes Zadnelto rozhodnuti.

Governer povstal na znameni, ze konei slyneni. AvSak Hainan ho pozastavil naznakem, 2e by rad jeAte nee° poznamenal.

Ve st • eclu, dne 24. prosince 1952. se rozpaeite kroutil, jsa celY nesvtj. Jeho zasmuMle pohledy lAak deverne rikaly: Pozor, leeka!

Herman se ujal slova s rozvahou a opatrne.

"Excelence," odpovidal drirazne, avaak zdvorile, "do vnittnich pomeril zeme, jsme hosty, se nevmdujeme. A o ne se nestarame. Pana. Whitea z nas nikdo nezna a jeho jmeno nam bylo do vice rejka neznamo.

Hollingsworthova tvat se spokojene vyjasnila. Take Waldron nadejne vydechl.

"Nedinim si narok na tento dopis, Excelence," odpovedel chladne. "Ostatne ani o dopis nebeli. Vec nema ani adresy, ani podpisu a ani data . . ."

"Nic dalgiho tu nevidim," potvrzoval pan Oversee.

"Nezajimam se o tento "dopis," kterY me naproSto nezavazuje," odpovedel znovu Herman. Nalezl oporu v anonymite listu.

Piece vaak neprojevil ani bryou svaj dojem a vracel list lhostejne a odmitave : "Opravdu, Exelence, nezajimam se ani o toto pismo.

Tomu, Ze se mohli usaditi uvniti "sidelniho me,sta", dekovali Hetrnan a Waldron nekolika nahodilYm okolnostem.

Plukovnik se toti2 sam obratil na Hollingswortha s pokynem, aby posly vzal do sveho domu.

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS

"Nutno je miti pod kontrolou," pozrmmenal setnikovi stranou. "Nemilkme je nechati ani u naaich neptatel a ani v hostinci, kde by je nebylo inoZno hlidat."

Mr. Hollingsworth v duchu zajasal. Mel stale na jazyku, Ze Holand'any k sobe pozve, nemohl se vaak k tomu odhodlat.

Octl se v situaci nemala choulostive. Hetman nevedel, ae setnik je dave'rnym p11telem plukovnikovYm, a plukovnik netusil, ae setnik a Heiman davno pied lety spolu uzavteli krevni ptatelstvi. Poslove se teaili tak nepatrne ptizni jak plukovnika, tak oficialnich kruhit ye Svate Maki, ae Hollingsworthovi to ukladalo nejvetai opatrnost. Trapnou situaci bezdeene rorteSii sam plukovnik. Setnik Hollingsworth mohl miti Hetmaria i jeho druha pod vlastni stfechou .

Setnika poteSilo, ae i manaelka se Zajimala o novoamsterodamske hosty. "Kate u2 p1inesla," pravila tato silna, skoro hihnotna Zena, "ae to jsou docela lide, kteti ani na Holand'any nevypadaji.

Heiman a Waldron u WhiteovYch jeate poobedvali. Pan White se dosed nevratil. Opravdu, n.ejmene byl z toho neat'asten Waldron.

Snad ae ptedstavovala sveae jiny typ Zeny, nea jako byla ptisne domacnostni manhattanska vrouw. Heiman se shovivave usmival nad slabosti sveho mladeho spoleenika.

Our Youth Movement JBy Birdie 9-eilsher

OUR YOUTH MOVEMENT At this time, I would like to relate to you.something I obtained from the Fra-ternal Monitor as to what other Fraternal Organizations are doing and saying , about the Youth Activities, which arri Sure will be of interest to you ::;THE -VALUE OF THE YOUTH AND THE JUVENILE MEMBERSHIP TO THE FRATERNAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES

By Edna Dugan Degree of Honor We: must have youth in our societies • so that we can successfully continue the .,cfraternal movement. Many societies are nut' doing anything about developing ,; this smovement. This movement was be• i, gunrunder the impressive slogan, "Yau:n 1.-Unlodks the Future." Are you going to encourage them to unlock the future?

We are proud of the progress, thus far made toward that goal, but we must have new ideas and inspiration to carry on this work. Unless the leaders of all of .,. the societies become interested en9pgh to send their juvenile counselors to our annual meetings we will have to abandon our work through lack of sufrielent support. \re solicit your cooperation. We must lia4e leaders-L.-and more leaders!

By Uinta Moss The Maccabees ;Before our civilization became so complex the individual homemaker was, in neal:ly every instance, perfectly capable of 'giving the child the proper background for life. But, today, that is no longer possible and more and more the community life plays a most important p art. That is where we, as fraternalists, should step in and help with this problem. How much our field people could profit by this and, at the same time, would be sponsoring such a worthwhile project for their community. I wonder what would happen if in every community we had well supervised Community Centers, Day Nurseries, Child Health Clinics, and Playgrounds. Our children

Everywhere I go I hear expressions of approval that so many young people are coining into our organizations. But we must not f.all to realize that we must meet a certain test if they are to•continue their interest. They will not be satisfled with our outmoded ways,. nor will they be satisfied to rattle the dry bones of yesterday. Unless there is a desired result and planning for tomorrow we will not hold the interest of this group. We must immediately put these young people to work and make them feel that they are important and that they belong to something worthwhile.

When our children join our Society, we have this same leadership training to offer them. Yet, many of our leaders are failing to take advantage of this splendid training, and I feel they are throwing away one of the most important tools in their work kit. The best way to eliminate our crime and social prOblems of tomorrow is in the proper guidance of our bays and girls.

By Louis Patrick Woodmen Circle The youth of today, with Fraternal Youth Counselors' Association is to assist member societies to CREATE, PROMOTE and DEVELOP youth membership activities.

The hope of the world today, lies in the youth of America. They bring new BLOOD, new L110.♦1 and new IDEAS. The youth of today, with fraternal training. become leaders of our local communities.

Never before have there been so many Junior and teen-age Children. Forty percent of the population 'of the United States is under 20 years of age. From this comes our future membership.

On the strength of the training we give our youth, character is developed, and, through this, the solution to the problems of world readjustments for a finer future, for the citizens of all nations.

Wednesday, December 24, 1952 The field of new members is limitless.

The opportunity is ours.

We have only to take advantage of its, as ' "Youth Unlocks the Future."

We have among our fraternal societies an abundance of talents for progress.

Youth is going to carry 'on what you, the pioneers and leaders of your fraternal society, have started. Youth is going to sit where you are sitting, and, when yoU are gone, attend to those things you think are so important.

You can adopt all the policies you please, but how they are going to be carried on depends on the youth you train.

Youth is essential to each Society.

Without it--your society soon becomes stagnant.

Just as nations move forward on the feet of little children, so do "Fraternal organizations move forward on the feet of youth."

So therefore, don't you agree, that the yoUth movement should have the co'operation and understanding of each society affiliated with the National Fraternal Congress?

We need YOU and YOU- need the YOUTH. • In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you and your loved ones a Very Merry Xmas, and every joy to you in the coming year.

Christmas is Where Your Home Is May the spirit of Christmas pervade your home, however humble or regal it is, like the warm and comforting glow of a friendly fire.

May your dear ones be near you on the day of Yule to share with you the joys and blessings of the Season.

May the gifts, large and small, that are given and received this day, be given and received with the humility and grace with which the very first gifts were given on that first Christmas by the Three Wise Men so long ago and far away.

May there be contentment in your house this day, the contentment that comes from serenity of mind and the spiritual well-being cf those who believe in the inherent goodness of man and who have faith in the wisdoms and mercy of Divine Providence. .

May the twinkling lights on your Christmas tree rival in gaiety the stars in the evening sky, bright reflections of the happiness which surrounds you and yours, a happiness to be shared with your neighbors and others less blessed; so that they, too, will know the joys of the Season and be comforted.

May there be laughter and merriment in your home this most joyous time of the year, expressing the love and affection that overflows the grateful hearts of you and yours.

May yotir home ring out with the ctarols of Christmas, pilaclUiming the spirit of the Nativity to all the world, and may 'that spirit sustain and protect your home and those who share its blessings with you in all the days to come.

Where are we, with about 400,000 Czechs in Texas? I imagine that Gov. Shivers would give us a truck driving job if we applied. Why? Because we are not organized, and if someone suggests something worth while there are a dozen knockers; some don't believe it, others say it can't be done. We even don't nave the know-how to tell a prospective insurance buyer , that insurance (like policy( is an investment instead of a burial policy, and up to now that's what we have been ,doing.

WAS WRITTEN To judge from the state of the preserved manuscripts, his hand literally flew across the paper. Notes pitch forward crazily; note heads are left stemless; errors are slashed through with angry strokes of the quill or drowned in great, splashing ink blots.

At one point, the composer apparently upset the entire inkpot on the score.

A visitor who arrived while Handel was writing "He was despised . . ." found the composer shaken with emotion. Andat the completion of the "Halleluiah Chorus" his face was bathed in tears.

Said Handel afterward; "I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God himself!"

Finally the work was finished. It was a prodigious accomplishment — without parallel in musical history. "Whether I was in my body or out of my b!:,:dy as I wrote it, I know not," Handel said.

What he did know was, that in spite of sickness, defeat and despair, he had triumphed. "Messiah," the song of salvation, had become his own redemption.

Ahead of him were still many years of productive labor years Of honor amid material reward. When he died all En-. gland mourned him. He was buried in Westminster Abbey. A monument erected above his tomb depicts the composer standing with the open score of "Messiah" before him, his pen arrested on the final notes of his sublime hymn of faith: "I know that my Redeemer liveth."

CHRISTMAS LECTURER There is a scene in the story, "A Christmas Carol," in which Ebenezer Scrooge leans out of his window on Christinas Day and calls to a small boy in the street to get him a turkey. If Scrooge had locked a little further down the street, he probably would have seen another small boy, a newsboy. When a boy delivered a paper in those days, gave the paper to his customer and waited Patiently outside while the customer read it. You see, the boy had only one paper.

In the early 19th Century following the upheaval in Europe times were very turbulent. Technical progress had almost been stopped. Scientists were often . exiled and sometimes beheaded because they did some original thinking That is why we want to tell the story of a newsboy of this period, Michael Faraday, who, despite the handicaps .of the period, developed the prin ciples of modern research. araday's father was a blacksmith and when the boy was five, the FaradaYS moved to rooms over a coachhouse in London. The family was quite poor, and - at an early age Michael had to help cearn his living. He started out as a :newsboy and later, at the age of seventeen, he was apprenticed to a bookbinder and stationer. His education had been very limited—just a little reading, writing and arithmetic, but in his new job he,:found the time to read and learn about, many new things.

For example between New York and San Francisco, the distance of about 14,00 miles by way of the Straits of Magellan has been reduced to little over 5,00 miles by the Panama Canal.

When the idea of the canal was conceived, the natural span between the two continents not only had to be excavated but the fact that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans differ in elevation had to be taken into consideration.

The size of the canal right at the Gatun Locks is easily underestimated,

United Fruit Company, the natives arc not permitted in the cars.

A guide was provided to take us through the experimental farm , which grows flowers of various colors, plants. of every tropical variety and spices,. such as cinnamon, nutmeg and peppers.

Mahogony, which is one of the country's chief exports grows wild in the tropics' and attracts the attention of the tourists about as much as the almond. and Brazil nut trees. • We spent several hours in this garden before returning to the ship for dinner.

Generally speaking, there is a mysteri ousness behind the veil of this old world atmosphere; at the same time it is intriguing and inviting. The natives . are definitely dark, the majority of which is probably made up of Spanish and Negro blood, but they are seemingly carefree and indifferent to progress and culture or just blissfully ignorant in some cases but enjoying and living their lives as customs permit. The primitive and early methods by which they carry on business, as unprogressive as it seems to us, are satisfactory means and - apparently meet the demands of their standards.

So looking at this trom some angles we wonder if perhaps, the civilized world has not lost something far more• . Important because of the inhibitions..one may have become heir to but is not able to conqUor through civilization. The indiference of the average native to-what we call culture, cannot be questioned because it is far beyond this class ,,in instances; but even so, the placid, casual smoothness of living from day to day is' a matter that not only,',drew our attention out Which • we touriSta could not overlook.

••• • The last three days on shipboard found most of us making general preparations for the masquaraae contest to take place the evening before we were due to dock in New Orleans. This •event is preceeded by the CAPTAIN'S DINNER, the last formal occasion on board. In an off-hand sort of way everybody applies some effort to this part of the program, however preparations are not seriously entered into until the last day.

The fact that so much was accono7 plished with so little to start with in .the way of costumes trimmings and designs made it very interesting and enjoyable, and it was surprising to see the ideas carried out.

We docked in New Orleans on schedule the following morning where the U, customs officers made their routine inspections after which we disembarked bound for home again.

OPPORTUNITY IN THE WEST If you were a reader of "HospOdat" in the , years preceeding 1910, you would notice innumerable articles of discussion about the possibilities for more economic independency for our people who have immigrated into the United States from Czechoslovakia. Possibly the chief impetus for this movement was the depressinn of 1907. — It is not for me to pass ludgment on that; those were my irresponsible days, oh youth! "Hospodar and its great editor John Rosicky were We greatest proponents of this movement. Consequences ,of these various discussions was the forming of the "Colonization Club". Funds were raised after a fashion, and committee of members appointed with the awoved purpose to search for a locality where it would be possible for our people to gain economic independence by settling on land and follow the oldest of trades — farming.

Many places were visited in the U. S. A. and „Old Mexico, including the vicinity what is now Malin, Oregon, lying on the shores of Tulelake. ;During the Then. Roosevelt's administration an irrigation expansion began to formulate, and the U. S. Government realized the great irrigation potentials of this locality also, with the result that 1 he then existing private irrigation proj ects were bought out by the government and plans were formulated to develop this basin which is known as KlaMath Basin, or also as The Inland Empire, for irrigation farming and also for hydroelectric developments.

• There was very little farming being crone 'here preceeding this. Mostly beef -cattle, and few sheep. Most of the land on the shores of Tulelake was covered with , sagebrush up to 15 feet high and juniper trees in the higher elevations.

Tulelake covered an area of approxiMately 100;000 acres, more with the adjacent Coppock Bay. This vicinity I am Writing about is approximately 30 miles southeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon. To lint it into more common vernacular, "t his was the setup" when the inspectinD party of the Colonization Club visited this locality. The members of this party fully realized the future possibilities of the terrain, and, as I understand it, the chief leaders of this committee also acted as agents for The Lakeside LSevelopment Co., who had land to sell to any possible settlers. The leaders were recompensed by the land development company by being given 40 acres of land free. The purchase price was $45. an acre.

Quite a few Czech people were persuaded to settle here, and the first thing

By F. J. Elzner, member Lod ;e B. Smetana 39 they were interested in was what to call this new locati';n. It was a Czech colony and it was deemed proper to have it called by some Czech name that could not be corrupted to something else, be easy to spell in English and easy to pronounce. The name Malin was chosen, and after the townsite was established an application was made to the U. S. Government for a pcstoffice under that name. The first Postmaster was Mike Dobry, all of wllose descendants are still in this community — same as the many others. The usual activity ensued in the little community. Sokol was organized, also a Lodge of Z. C. B. J. Czech Library Club, sort of Farmer's Club, where some of the costlier machinery was bought by the members and used by. them, thus alleviating the money problem to quite an extent. It was not long and by the joint efforts a Sokol Hall was built; on the shores of Tulelake, and the little community began to achieve the dreams that made the members to come here and settle.

In the meantime the U. S. Govern ment constructed irrigatich dams on the Lost River, the then chief'supplier of irrigation waters; also necessary main canals were built and tributary laterals leading to each little farm. The construction charge against the land for this was $38. an acre and each settler agreed to pay for this in 25' years. It was not long and more expansive plans were formulated by the government. Chiefly it was decided to dry up the Tulelake„ because it was found out that the bottom of the lake was not too deep, with a very rich volcanic, alluvial and humuS soil.

At this point it is necessary to describe 'the location of Tulelake more fully.

About eight miles east of Tulelake across some hills lies Clear Lake, source for the Lost River, which meanders its way north, then west, and then southeast to Tulelake, its normal terminal. The government erected dams on this•Lost Miler to control the flow of water, and to help impound this water in Clear Lake, its source. Since there was a better wa ter control sought and to hasten. the evaporation .of Tulelake waters, the goy, ernment dug a diversion channel from its most western point to :connect with Klamath River, so that in wet cycle years the waters of Lost River could be diverted from Tulelake and dumped into the Klamath River. On . the other hand, in dry years, or we should say in the super dry years, and to effect all

round control of the irrigation waters, another canal was dug to tap•the•waters of Upper Klamath Lake and its tributary Agency Lake. Now, whenever the shortage of water for irrigation purposes occurs, the waters from Upper Klamath Lake are dumped into the Lost River, augmenting. its flow. Upper Klamath Lake waters enter thru Link River, (shortest river in the world) the Lake Ewauna, the source of Klamath River which speeds , ,cn its way to the Pacific and on which the hydroelectric developments are situated. Before the construction of these various structures, Upper Klamath Lake waters found their way into a lower Klamath Lake: After the Klamath River's channel' was broadened and deepened, both Tulelake and Lower Klamath Lake waters began to eVaporate and recede exposing lake bed which is enormously rich. In both instances, canals, lateral and drain ditches were constructed; also sumps where the drain waters are impounded before they 'are reused for irrigation purposes. like 'for instande, the drain waters of Tulelake find their 'way to bower Klamath Lake by being pumped thru .a mountain tunnel to serve as irrigation' waters again, 'and after serving their, purpose and being collected in a system icf drain ditches than all are clumped into the Klamath River. Lower Klamath Lake is straight west of Tulelake, separated by small mountain thni which a tunnel Was cut in 1940 for this purpose. As the lands of both Tulelake and Lower Klamath Lake began to be available for farmihg, first they were leased by the government to farmers under secret competitive bidding, in the meantime the work progressed, more canals, laterals and drains were built, ands few units were opened to homestead entry in 1917. This pertains to the Tulelake area. On Lower Klamath Lake area, no homesteads were given yet.. Of the Malin Czech pioneers Joe Kotera, Rudolf Klima, V.aclav J. Spelek, Joe Zumpfe and Mr. Koss were the successful winners. All are now deceased with the possible exemption of Mr. Kbss who moved away..; XTo be continued) )
