EDEN z nejvetsich ba.snikfi aright; ckeho naroda, William Shakespeare, pronesl nahled, 2e 2ivot eloveka se odehrava v cyklu sedmi let: sedm rokti ditetern, sedm rokti chlapcem nebo deveetem, sedm rokil jinochem nebo divkou, a v tomto cyklovena postupu, a2 se kolotoe 2ivota zmeni sedmkrat sedm let. Po padesatem roku nastava navy ifsek 2ivota, jine my genky, jine dile..

Kdybychom tohoto poetickeho metitka mobil pougti V, dejinach nebo v trvani nag Jednoty, seznali bychom, 2e metitko je dosti ptilehave. Nebudeme se vraceti do let uplynulYch, ale poliSimneme si to= ho noveho Useku v nakm spolkovem 2ivote po padesati letech.

VSechno nasvedeuje, 2e zaeiname dostavati jine my genky, 2e hledame nove cesty a sna gme se, abychom si uvedomili vy'kl elle. V nag. Jednote ptichazi nove jaro. Jako by ledy neteenosti a lhostejnosti zaealy praskati, jako by slunko spolkoveho 2ivota zaealo vice litati. Jsme ji.2 v novem cyklu, v dote, kdy zazelenaji se brazdy a2 dosud ladem legci.

Jen si po ySimneme, co vkchno se OHpravuje na torn na gem poll spolkovem.

Pted necelYmi dvema lety ptiSla od dvou Menu pH El Campo my genka na rozdeleni na g spolkove prace na sekce nebo distrikty. Kroutili jsme hlavami.

Novoty; zbyteene staveni plott, ovladani malYch tadfi vetSimi, neeltivera, spokojenost s ustalenYm zatizenim. Podivejme se dnes, joke mame vyhlidky z tohoto rozdeleni prace.

Distrikt drutrY ptiprovuje schrizi v sini radii Tyr eislo 80 v Holland na etvrtou nedeli v bieznu. Znamena to spoleene pla;novani nekolika nejvetgch kadfi v Jednote. Nejoke dobro pro budoucnost jiste ta,to selnize prinese.

Distrikt paty svolava schfizi dvaceti tadfi do sine tadu Stefanik eislo 142 Houstonu na patou nedeli v bteznu. Dopoledne planuji miti z ylaStni schfizi tadovYch predsedii a tadovYch tajemnikii, aby jim byly vysvetleny mnohe yeci, ktere budou pouene pro ka2deho fitednika.

Neco podobneho dosud v Jednote nebylo.

Odpoledne bude hroniadne uvarieni novych clenu, obtady slavnostni a clfistojne. Te2 bude bohaty program omladiny a deti.

Distrikt SestY, nejvetSi ze vkch sedmi, bude miti svou schtizi v Hallettsville na etvrtou nedeli v bieznu, v tute2 nedeli, kdy bude schrize v Holland. PtedeSle schfize gesteho distriktu byly 'v2dy zdatile. Mygenka zalokni distriktfi povstala mezi einovniky, kteti planuji v Sestem distriktu. Zajiste S-estY distrikt si podr21 sve prvenstvi ye velikosti i v novYch planech, v novYch mySlenkach a v dalgch pokynech.

Distrikt sedmY planuje miti svou schiizi u tridu Slovan Jihu eislo 26 v osado 01mos, nedaleko Skidmore. VYbor na sestaveni programu se ji2 sekl. Na vYboru jsou osvedeene sily. Schfize sedmeho distriktu ma bYti tketi nedeli v dubnu.

Organisaeni prace pokraeuje zdarne take jinYm smerem. Zatim co jednotlive tady pracuji ruku v ruce, seznamuji se vzajemne, vybiraji mezi sebou schopne eleny, aby byli fitedniky v distriktech, stahuji dohromady programove vybory, aby byl spoleenY postup — zatim co vSechno toto utuZuje spolupraci mezi jednotlivymi tady, Hlavnl fitadovna buduje lepSi oddity mistnich organisatorfi. Patadaji se g oly, davaji se kursy, posilaji se fikoly, skladaji se zkouSky. Cinnost organisatorti bude se stupnovati a rozgtovati.

A jege v jinem smeru byl ueinen veirni slibrry zaeatek. Snad to byl krok nejzdai-ilej g a nejdfile2itejAi. A2 do nedavna nemeli jsme nikoho, kdo by se venoval yYhradne. nagm detem. Nebyla to prace pro hlavni fitedniky, ponevad2 oni maji dostatek prace ye syYch ritadech po strance administraeni. Vybudovati zajem mezi datini o veci spolkove, zapojiti iniacie2 do

einnosti kadove, to je spiSe zale gtost organ.isaeni, trochu propagaeni, trochu vYchovna. I kdyby uz byl statni or nisator, mel by on pine ruce, aby °rove. prace sla kuptefiu.

Ziskali jsme pro einnost mezi omladinou a detmi sestru Birdie Hilsherovou z Houstonu. Volba nemohla bYti lepSi. Sestra Hilsherova ma schopnosti, ma styky s rfiznymi jinYmi organisacemi, ma zalibu v podobne praci, a pornery ji takovou einnost dovoluji. Ve sve stotisicove nove residenci ma soukromou pracovnu, psaci stroj, telefon a regaly (ei jak zde tikame "bookshelves") pine poll-Meek hudebnich, deklamaenich, programovYch., Va gina ueitelek by ji mohla zavidet takove pohodli a takovY zdroj detskeho materialu.

Takova pracovna je vlastne doplrikem toho, co v risttedi nebylo, ale co je Potfebne pro vedeni MI a mlidek.

Kdy2 uvagme, 2e od minuleho sjezdu jsme se pohnuli tremi rfiznYmi smery, mohli bychom Fici slovy Shakespeara, 2e po padesati letech dostali jsme se do noneho fiseku 2ivota, 2e jsme v cyklu obrozeni. Rozdelili jsme si organisaeni praci na sedm distriktu. Mysticke eislo sedm.

Bylo mnoho dobrYch elankfi ye Vestniku, na ktere by se bylo nechalo navazat a podati sve nahledy. Ale nebylo mo2ne, proto 2e ma zla.-mane ruka mne vice jak pet mesicii brozne bolela. Kdy2 bylo trochu lope, zase bylo mot zanedbane prate. A ponevad2 nebylo sily, bych mohla pracovati rychle, Vzalo nine to skoro aC do vanoc, ne2li

jseni si v'Se privedla do poradku. Asi dva tYdny pied vanocemi jsem pravila svernu IntrZi, 2e az teprve ted' se citim trochu silnejSi, 2e nine peace ji2 tak mot neunavuje. Te2 jsem asi deset liber ptibrala na vaze a mnozi tikali, 2e zase dobte vypadam. Ale mezi vanocenii a NovYm rokern jsem dostala housera. Nevim, je-li to spravny nazev, ale mnozi tikaji, 2e kdy2 nas pichne v zadech jak nee° takeho zdvihneme, 2e to je houser. (Pozn. red.: — Bolesti v ktizi, ktera, se stupduje zejmena pohybem trupu, se lidove Mica, "houser". Je to znamY eeskY vYraZ.) Zase jsem zkusila hodne bolesti. A pokud nas nem boll neni chuti do nieeho, ani do psani.

Ted' je nine trochu lepe, ale Upine zdrava nejsem, musim davati velky pozor, abych neudelala prudkY pohyb, neb kdyZ beham neb vstavam, musim velmi pomalu, neb jinak by nine mot pichlo v zadech. Myslim si, 2e tot() jest jests sledek od me zlamane ruky, proto2e nikdy pied tim v celern mem 2ivote mne v zadech nebolelo. Myslim si, 2e kdy2 tak dlouho ma krev nemehla prouditi pres moji ruku, jen proto, ze lekar sadru nezmenil, tteba ruka byla hrozne otekla, tak jiste krev neproudila spravne ani pres ostatni telo, tak proto - ted' ten honsee.

Jiz je pozde vraceti se ku sjezdu, ale ja se jests potad nemohu smititi s tim, delegati se tak SPatne viidi fitulne neb Mouekovemu fondu zachovali. Zda se mne to velmi nespravne, ze sestfe Valo.ikove nebylo dovoleno ye prospech Moudkoveho fondu promluviti. Ona piece byla jeho zakladatelkou, nejvice pro ten fond sebrala, tak na kahlY pad ji melo bYti dovoleno pro ten fond mluviti, tteba delegatkou nebyla. Moana k by bylo v ge jinak dopadlo. Asi natal ti vlivni, kteti si mysli, 2e oni nikdy nebudou vatulnu pottebovati, (ad kdo'2 vi, neb nektly i velkY bohde se stane chud'asem), pracovati mezi delegaty, by fitulnu porazili. 1034 sestra Valeikova nesmela podati sve dfivody, prod bychom meli fitulnu miti, jak bychom rfiznYmi zpbsoby ji pomohli postaviti neb vydrhivati, Utulna byla porakna.

Souhlasim se sestrou Sparihelovou, kaMY dlen by snadno mohl darovati jeden dolar na IVioudkfiv fond. Ja bych da dala i pet dolart, kdyby byli delegati odhlasovali, ze frtuluna se bude staviti, a2 se vice pen& na ni nasbira,. Ale kdy2 ji2 bylo i slyseti, k ten fond, co jiz mame, se mute upoti-ebiti na nee° jineho, to podrYva naSe nadSeni, ztracime chut' k dalSi pravi. AC kdy2 ty penize, co ji2 mame, byly sebrane na Motiektiv fond, myslim, 2e by to bylo proti zakonu, kdyby Hlavni Uradovna, ty penize pou2ila na neco jineho. Zda se, 2e by bylo snadnejSi postaviti fitulnu jak Hlavni Uradovnu.

Utulna by merle stala, a myslim, 2e polovieku by nam na ni nahradila vlada, kdyby jen hlavni nrednici se o fitulnu zajimall a o pomoc po2adali.

Oasto eteme elanky, kde2 lekati pravi, 2e vlada bude muset postaviti ntulny pro stare lidi, neb 2e je mnoho starch lidi, o Ictere se nechce 2a,dnY starati. Proto si myslim, 2e by bylo velmi snadne od vlady pornoc ziskati, kdyby bylo ji2 jista, 2e se bude Utulna staviti. Jsem jista, 2e mnohe osady by potadaly zabavy neb bazau ye prospech ritulny.

TEEN AGER'S PAGE Mind Your Manners You've got a date!

Mr. Webster's idea of a date is "an engagement; appointment." But our definition goes farther than that — it means an evening of fun with -the gang at the local sweet shop, taking in the latest hit picture downtown, or feeding nickels to the hungry juke box at the Friday night YOUTH dance. Nope, there's no getting away from it, the right kind of date is fun and makes the weekend something to look forward to. But then, there's always the other kind, too — you know what we mean ---- the atmosphere, far from being bright aid cheerful, is dark and gloomy, and gaymusic is replaced by murmurs of a bored bunch of guys and gals sipping cokes plus, or the silence of a dark corner where two love-birds go at it hot and heavy. But let's discuss this matter of dating — it's a subject worth talking about! First of all, any dumb-bunny knows enough to introduce her date to her parents. That stands to reason. But how about including Junior in that family group, too? Don't lock him in a closet just before your date is due to arrive — maybe that he-man of yours has a little brother who collects toads, too.

And better never than late, in our opinion, when it comes to tiating.-., It's just as bad for Jack to be late at the front door as it is for Susie to make a dramatic entrance after Jack has twiddled his thumbs for forty-five minutes waiting for her. And, by the way, we'd like to throw a bunch of wilted dandelions at the character who calls up at six and expects the gall to be ready for an eight o'clock date, and present an orchid corsage to the chick who's smart enough to refuse to go out on such short notice. But enough said on that point — nobody in the category of procrastinators will ever get anybody's vote for most likely to succeed, so mind your manners!

Along with remembering the simple rules of etiquette, having a knock-a ut personality is another sure-fire way to be popular. A Gloomy Gus or a Morbid Mabel never rated on any popularity poll. Look around you sometime— you'll find that these characters just don't make headway with your crowd. And at the same time, you'll notice that the natural, cheerful, friendly type goes over big with anybody — taken in the proper doses, of course. An overdose give you a Giggling Gerti or a Boisterous Bill who slaps you on ∎ the back in his over• friendly,manner, and sends you flying,

Consequently, all you eligible girls of reasonable age who belong to Lodge No. 48, or if you have a parent, brother or sister who do, come to our March 1st meeting. A queen is needed! She will be chosen on that day and you should be at the meeting to be a contestant.

Fltrana TWO CZECH COMPOSERS Bohemia produced two very famous composers, Smetana and Dvorak, and several striking contemoprary figures.

Smetana (1824-1884) was an energetic leader against the domination of Italian opera, organizer of concerts, director of the most finished chorus in Bohemia, critic and musical corrosnondent for leading journals, pianist, conductor, and a composer cf much music which is widely loved. His greatest interest was in opera, of which he wrote eight examples. The most famous is The Bartered Bride, whose exhilarating overture is known everywhere. This opera has been produced on many foreign st ages. He was accused by some compatriots of Wagnerian leanings, but was in inteilt at least a champion of native art. Elp‘h in his operas and in other works, Bohemian rhythms and melodies abound. He wrote a series of symphonic poems, Mein Vaterland, celebrating the history and the landscape of his country. The best known Of these is The Moidau, which pictures the rise of this river in two sparkling springs and follows its course until it reaches Prague. . .

Antonin Dvorak (1841=1904), of humble origin, displayed precocious talent for the violin, was at length allowed to Study in Prague, became a member of Smetana's orchestra, and, while supporting himSelf by the greatest efforts, still managed to compose incessantly the largest forms. . An opera, The King and the Collier, was also successfully produced. It earned a small pension for its author who, sending his .works to the Viennese society which granted the pension, found in one of the judges, Johannes Brahms, an interested and helpful friend. Soon he received from Simrock (Brahm's publisher) a commission for a series of Slavonic Dances for piano duet.

These became almost as popular as the Hungarian Dances of Brahms. It is partly to his vivid feeling for his conu'try's dance rhytms that his larger compositions owe their success. ) • ete • ( Velice utlocitn i.

and Curious

In - resting EVEREST CONSIDERED NOT ONLY LOFTIEST BUT ONE OF MOST MYSTERIOUS MOUNTAINS

What man has succeeded through music, painting, architecture and ma-chines, Nature has done on a grand scale in forming its mountains of which Everest is a veritable Apollo of them all.

This lofty summit is relatively free from snow and is buffeted continually by shrieking winds that have the force of hurricane violence. Some mountain climbers have been fortunate enough to scale it at least some height, and have been in a position to examine it through powerful binoculars and telescopes. What they have seen has remained indelibly imprinted upon the retina of their eyes.

It seems, from their description, that this giant that towers above the clouds is formed of giant slabs of tilted limestone, estimated at being fifty feet thick, laid down by Nature some tens of millions of years ago in what is known as the Tethyan Sea which almost bisected the continent of Asia. It has a silent majesty about it that is almost a sermon and is often called the Incomparable and Supreme. To the Tibetans it is known as "Chomo Lungma", the Goddess. Mother hi I he World. It was known merely as Peak XV, before Sir Andrew Waugh, surveyor general, named it after his eminent predecessor, Sir George Everest. * * MOUNT WASHINGTON ONCE ONLY POINT OF LAND THAT EMERGED ABOVE CONTINENTAL ICECAP

According to geologists Mount Wash• ington in the White Mountains was a very striking spectacle inure than twenty thousand years ago, even if it is re-graded today as one of the most beautiful mountains. It is believed that it was the only point of land in the entire vicinity which then emerged above the continental icecap, which spread over three mil• lion square miles of the continent of North America. If one was living at that time and climbed the lofty summit, he could survey the land in every direction which was a huge ocean of jagged, slippery ice that reached as far as the eye could see, a veritable frozen mask, lonely, awe-inspiring, swept * by chilling winds.

Wells Fargo was known ror its specialty of transporting gold from mining districts and in 1858 alone, it handled more than $58,000,000 in gold bullion on its California lines which were among the most dangerous. In the course of the daring tips the stage coach riders and messen-

THE HUMOROUS SIDE OF LINCOLN There is no known portrait or photograph of Abraham Lincoln smiliing. For most of the present generation, he is the brooding, melancholy figure of the Lincon Memorial. Thousands who today stand in reverence before that somber statue would, perhaps, be surprised to learn that his contemporaries charged Lincoln with unseemly levity in office.

It now seems almost sacrilegious that the world once regarded him, in the words of London's Saturday Review, as "not only the First Magistrate but the Chief Joker of the land."

Yet his gaunt, towering figura, clad in a flapping flannel nightgown, used to stalk through the White House at midnight seeking someone still awake to share a funny story he had just read.

"The neigh of a wild horse on his native prairie," we are told, "was not more undisguised and hearty than Lincoln's laugh."

He prefaced the most momentous deiciision of his life—perhaps the most momentous in all American history — by reading a comedy skit to his Cabinet.

Humor-was his bulwark against the bitter and bloody disasters of the Civil War. The story he enjoyed most telling about himself involved two Quaker ladies discussing the outcome of the War between the States.

"I think Jefferson Davis will succeed," said the first, "because Jefferson is a praying man."

"And so is Abraham a praying man," said the second.

"Yes, but the Lord will think Abraham is joking."

Lincoln first made a name for himself as a lawyer, but what brought him fame throughout. the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois w was not so much his skill in the courtroom as his jokes and stories.

Judge David Davis, before whom he tried hubdreds of cases (and whom Lincoln himself later named to the U. S. Supreme Court), was one of the most appreciative !connoisseurs of Lincoln's wit.

Whenever proceedings got tedious Judge Davis would wheedle Lincoln into livening things up. Confronted one day with a long bill in chancery drawn up by an unusually slow attorney, the Judge held it up. "Astounding, ain't it, eh, Lincoln?" he called out.

"It's like the lazy preacher that used to write long sermons," Abe drawled.

"He got to writin' and was too lazy to stop!"

Lincoln's wit could generally be counted on to provide him with an adroit re-

horse was lazy, but on one occasion he rushed across the field so fast that I, with my long legs, could scarcely keep pace with him. On reaching the end of the furrow I found an enormous chinfly fastened upon him and knocked it off. My brother asked me why , I did it.

'That fly," he said, 'was all that made the horse go!'

"Now, if Mr. — — has a presidential chin-fly biting him, I'm not going to knock it off. I'll only hope that it will make his department go."

Lincoln rarely missed an opportunity to inject comic relief when embarrassment threatened. Once, in the corridors of the War Department; a young officer hurrying to deliver important dispatches rushed headlong into grit President, almost knocking him over. fleeing whom he had clashed into, the officer cried in dismay, "A thousand pardons!"

tort whenever he needed one.

When he entered the national arena of the Lincoln•Douglas debates, his inexhaustible humor became a political asset that helped him score off his op ponent and won him support.

In one debate Douglas referred to the fact that, in his youth, he had learned the cooperage trade from his father.

Lincoln turned this information into a thrust that clung to Douglas the rest of his days. "I was not aware until now," said Lincoln, "that Mr. Douglas' father was a cooper. I am certain that he was a very good one, for (here Lincoln bowed toward Douglas) he produced one of the best whisky casks I have ever seen."

Douglas in return tried to make capital out of the fact that Lincoln sold whisky at a grocery store he once kept.

"What Mr. Douglas has said," replied Lincoln, "is true enough. I did keep it "One's enough," Lincoln replied. "I grocery and I did sell whisky. But I re- wish the whole army could charge like member in those days that Mr. Douglas that." was one of my best customers.
