"Pracujte svorne vespolek, jako tyto pruty tesne svazane, a neptitel vas tteba ohne, ale nezlomi". Takove ponaueeni dal Svatopluk Oech s yYrn syntim pro vot na smrtelne posteli. IJposlechli jeho ra,dy? Ne. Proto bidne zahynuli.

JOSEF LIDUMIL LESIKAR V roce 1853 odhodlala se koneene ma rnan2elka na nalehani te2 dorastajicich syna k vystehovani, co2 v gak ji2 bylo spojeno s obtizemi, nebo muj nejstarsi syn byl ji2 pies dvacet rolai star a k jenskemu stavu schopen i byly obavy, 2e do' Ameriky propu g ten ji2 nebude, avgak na pfimluvu hrabete Norberto, Poetinga, tehdej giho podkrajskeho okresu Landgkrounskeho, ktery byl mYrn dobrYrn telern, byl p •i odvodu vojenskYrn leka,fem za neschopneho uznan a proptraten.

Nyni to glo parou. Vypravilo se se mnou sedmnact rodin a dne 9. tijna 1853 opustill jsme nag domov, na, zaeatku listopadu sedan jsme ji2 na lod' Savana, kterou jsme v Grage museli etrnact dni eekati a na BoZi narozeni ptistali jsme v Galvestonu. Cesta na ge p0 vode sedm tYclnir trvajici byla v celku At'astria a vYprava Bedekrem z Bremen obstojna. Pova2ovali jsme se tedy At'astnYmi vaei nagim p •edchadcrun. Po kiatkern odpoeinku v Galvestone byli jsme dopraveni po parniku do Houstonu, odkud vlekli jsme se pornalu volskYmi potahy vzhf-tru do kraje (2eleznic tariff tehdy je gte nebylo)..

Tato cesta trvala nam celYch etrnact dni, ac celkern byla to cesta jen asi 60 mil a tak to na ge pout' do zeme zaslibe ne trvala v celku pies etrnact•tycInfr. PfiAli jsme koneene ku zbytku na gich zubo-2enych krajarnI bliZe New. Ulm, kde ktefi byli ye slu2be, jini vystavili 'si na speeh jakksi srub, jej2 spoleene obyvali, ale tento jim shofel i se v gim co cestou nepozbyli. Ale jejich mysl klesla nebyla, hledeli s nadeji vstfic budoucnosti a vskutku stali se po letech temef vgichni svou vytrvalosti zamo2nYmi obeany.

Mar0,elce me, se toto setkani s nagimi krajany a novYmi pomery nikterak nelibilo, mleela vg ak, ale trudila se. Ja vgak jsem nasel atechu ve svobode, ditky jsem dal do slu2by a ja sam s man2elkou obYval jsem u jednoho znameho nakho, ktery si po vyhofeni opet chatrnY byt zbudoval. 13y1 to pfitel Karel Siller. Jegte toho roku 1854 koupil jsem spoleene s jednim Cecho-nerncem nedohotovenou farmu a obYvali jsme spoleene auto bidnou diru po dye beta.

Nyni jsem zaoal se dveMa star gimi syny tesafit a v roce 1856 byl jsem o vanocich s rodinou pod vlastnim krovem. Ze ka2c1Y zaeatek je telkk, to zkusil jsem sam v mile vrchovate. Na pozernku byl jsem i s mYm spoleenikem o 70 akril o gizen a dlu2ili jsme nan znaenou eastku. Z nedostatku penez koupil jsem k jizde mexikanskeho ponika, ktery mne shodil v gude, kde se mu u-

zdalo, 2e bych mei 10,et a pokade, kcly2 za dobre uznal. V takovem okarn2iku jednou malem moil manZelku zabil. Koupil jsem si te2 par void, ani2 jsern veal, 2e jeden z nich jiz obiral se my glenkou o pomijitelnosti tohoto 2ivota, col mi brzy tez svkm odchodem z tohoto slzaveho dokazal. Podobne pfihody potkavaly mne ka2dou chvili, neb nemajetnY kupuje nejdra2, zvla gte na nver a hleda jen veci nejlacinej gi, bez ohledu, zdali se mu ji2 cestou seglosti vekem nerozpadnou.

Slo to s nami tedy pornalu ku pfeclu, ale glo to pfee.

Texas v to dobe nebyl ani zdaleke, tim, eim jest dues, potacina stavba nebyla k spatfeni, same sruby, ye .kterkch nebylo jednoho hfebiku, misto oken byly jen diry, dvete svazany ze v gelijakYch gtepin nebo jen nejakou latkou zastfene, prkno, hfebik, kousek Zeleza tale2elo velke vzacnosti a jaky div, 2e v na gem settlementu byla jen polovina povozu. Samemu trvalo mi to mnoho let, ne21i jsem si podobnou ekvipa2 mohl dovolit potidit. Pfi torn se mi nezastesklo ani na okain2ik a nezatou2i1 jsern po nekdej gi vlasti, ktere ani ona nine pomoci nemohla. Mne bla2ila svoboda a volnost zdej gi, neb jsem nebyl z tech mnohych, kteki se neustale -azkostlive dr21 sukni sve matky, aekoli pies to vge svou rodnou vlast ctim a ji si va2im.

Byl jsem skuteene spokojen i s tim lem, ktere jsem zde mei v krute dobe valky obeanske. Sta y nraj se neustale neschazelo mi tak dalece nic ne21i dugevni strava, neb nemel jsem nadeje, ze se nejakeho pisemnictvi na geho v teto zemi doekam.

Nevim do dries, j ak'm zpirsobem se o nas zde v Texasu dovedel, jak se do-veal moji adresu, neb jsem ho nikdy pled tim neznal ani nevidel.

What Is A Boy?

Our Youth Movement

birdie 9filsher In reading through the April Issue of The Optimist Club Magazine, I came across another interesting article which might interest you to know what other Organizations are doing. And I am doing a Jot of such reading, inquiring, visiting and seeking all the information I can gather far our Organization as to what others are doing and what would be best for us to use from their experiences for further progress of our own organization.

It is cheaper to learn from others experiences than from your own mistakes.

Everytime there are any Youth Activities of any kind, speakers, etc. held anywhere, I try to be there to gather information for our lodge—some of which I relate to you from time to time and others I use in my Programs to the lodges, and still others I am withholding for future uses— pending on our Organization. All of this brothers and sisters is tedious work and requires a lot of my time in attending these different things, reading and planning the right things for our children.

Children now-a-days are not like we used to . be. One has to handle them with silk gloves and that is up to all of us—to give them something worth while in our lodges and to make it so interesting that they will bring other children there with them and make it their "hang-cue as they call it. Invite them into your lodge meetings and make them interesting so that they'll keep on coming and coming and derive the same interest, love and affection for it' as you and I have. Teach them to take on from where we leave off, for it is in them that lies the future of our entire S. P. J. S. T. And we better wake up and do something now— before it is is too late. Everyone else is `doing it. What are we waiting for?

Here is the article:

and miraculous." It is that plus characteristic which makes the difference between success and failure. It is a quality whiout which leadership cannot set a course—cannot achieve a goal!

The remarkable thing about enthusiasm—"faith in action"—is that it influences everyone with whom it comes in contact—it inspires action on the part of others! Everyone loves a champion! We thrill to the accomplishments of thoroughbreds in. any well-ordered competitive endeavor. Our hearts leap within us—our souls sing with joy—as we watch men attain tA) high places— as we see them plan their work—and then work their plan! We are filled with a sense of security—that all is well!

We are led to belive that Mr. Eisenhower has chosen just such men for his cabinet posts for his advisory positions —for his liaison with domestic and foreign problems. His vital heart-warming enthusiasm has given Americans a great incentive to do their utmost for their country. One of the greatest things we can each do for our country is to be a "FRIEND OF THE BOY"—to measur4 up to our objectives—to honestly and earnestly seek to know' our problems with "TEEN-AGERS" and help them to an blonorable estate—as God-fearing, righteous citizens. Another is to spread this germ of enthusiasm—to sow the seed of "faith in action" within our own membership as Optimists!

Faithfully,

J. -Warren Day, President Optimist International Why don't we start to use a little more enthusiasm in our own lodges where our Youth are concerned, and make them "NOTHING GREAT WAS EVER feel enthused over things we can do for ACHIEVED WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM"! them and spread the germ around also.

We would all be much better off and a Emerson. lot happier, for nothing makes any "ENHUSIASM," says Chester, "IS parents happier than to see their chilNOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN dren happy. Let's give it a try!

Fraternally yours, FAITH IN ACTION-Zaith and initiative Birdie Hflsher rightly combined remove mountainous barriers and achieve the unheard of Youth Counselor

Boys are of assorted sizes, weights and colors. Boys are found everywhere.

Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

He has the appetite of a horse, the energy of a bomb, the curiosity of a cat, is full of imagination, is shy and has the enthusiasm of a firecracker. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Dad, trains and fire engines. He cares little for Sunday School, company, schools, music, neckties, barbers girls. Nobody else an cram into one pocket a rusty knife, a halfeaten apple, several feet of string, a Bull Durham sack, two gumdrops, six cents and code ring with secret compartment.

A boy is a magical creature — you can lock him out of your workshop but not out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. .) • 4 • t THE AFRICAN JERBOA RAT IS 'UNUSUALLY EQUIPPED BY NATURE Did you ever see a rat jump as high as fifteen feet in one hop, or know that there is a species that can see not only ahead, but above, below and all around, without turning their necks?

Well, there is such a creature. He is called the African jerboa and lives in the desert which is his home. This rat measures only five inches high, and using his extraordinary long tail as a balancing medium, can jump fifteen feet in one hop, The tail also permits the rat to use it as a tripod and thus stand erect at will. The 360-degree vision is an asset because it warns of any danger in front, side, rear, above or below.

These desert rats are often mistaken for running birds, because nature has also equipped them with hind feet that are haired in such a fashion, that they resemble snowshoes. By using the feet the Jerboa does not bog down in the fine sand, but skims smoothly over it with an ease that is often surprising, standing erect at the same time. They breed in large numbers and are always a source of incredulous belief to visitors. )• •( "Loose milk" is that sold from open containers. )•&•( The planet Venus is called the twin of the earth.

THE HAPPINESS OF CITIZENSHIP As a rule, we take too many, things for granted.

The other clay, a discussion started about the procedure of naturalization.

The youngest one in the group had the idea that "naturalization" was the same as "civilization," Others corrected him that the process of naturalization is educating one to the American way of life.

Many of our readers who are citizens by birth and not tv choice will read with interest a transcript of proceedings' in the court where the immigrants are granted the right of becoming United ate citizens. ' Witness the procedure from the time the clerk of the court requests all petitioners for citizenship to rise.

The Clerk. Petitioners all raise your right hands, please.

You hereby declare,- on oath, that you .absolutely and entirely renounce and adjure all allegiance and fidelity to any fOreign prince, potentate, state, or so y -eringtyofwhericyoUhave heretofore been a subject or citizen, that you will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and .allegiande to the same; that you will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; or that you will perform noncoMbatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law, or that you will perform work of nannal importance under civilian direcion when required by the law; and that you take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose .of evasion: So help you God. Novi be seated, and pay attention to His Honor, Judge Galston.

The Court. The practice of this COUrt in holding naturalizatin proceedings is for the iudge who presides in welcoming the newly-made citizens to address these newly-made citizens on the rights, privileges, immunities, and not less important, the obligations of citzens. This I will 'do presently, but be. fore so doing I want to pursue a method that I initiated some 10 or 12 years ago, that is to ask two or three of you to come forward and state briefly why you sought American citizenship.

The meeting will be called to order regardless as to how many members will be present and not always be waiting for more to show up when they decide to come at all hours. The reason of having our meeting early is to have an Easter egg hunt for the "young fry." It is a little late for the "hunt" but as the saying goes, "better late than never". Every mother is asked to bring something for the lunch, alything that you want to bring and you know that the children like. Also bring six eggs for every child that come to the hunt. Prizes will be given to the One that finds the most eggs and also a booby prize. Yours truly will see that the "young fry" is entertained.

I have a nice program that was worked out by Sister Hilsher of Houston.

There are riddles, games, etc. Anyone of our young members that have a special

talent, speak up and don't wait till we ask you. Don't be timid, nobody will hurt you. The older generation likes to see and hear the young folks recite and perform. I know we have a good piano player and she is Geraldine Cabla of Sinton and also Jeanette Manasek of Sinton on a musical instrument. So come on out girls and show us what you can do. Now I know there are others that know songs, poems or skits, so let's all of us show up at this meeting and have lots of fun. As soon as I get the program from Youth Counselor for the month of May (Mother's Day) we'll get to work and entertain our Mothers.

Now some about the District Seven meeting which is to be held at the Ohnos Community, near Skidmore. So far we have no information, but many of us are planning on going, about 40-50 members. Lodge Anton J. Cerrnak, will have a good program performed by the C. C. Sokol. Their programs are always enjoyed by all.

A little about the farming in general in our community. So far everything is looking good. The crops are, all up and growing. It will be soon that "cotton chopping" time. All the farmers are busy cultivating their crops and some are harvesting onions. There surely won't be a shortage of onions, for regardless where one goes, it can be seen every-where. We certainly could use a rain and give the crops a boost.

Once again I'll mention over "belated Easter Egg Hunt." This will be fun for all, no age limit. Everyone is invited and bring guests along, but remember for every child, bring six eggs (6 candy or hen eggs). Let's not stay at home. All come out and have fun with the rest of the group. There will be games and riddles for all and also prizes. Just come on out and find out for yourself. The date April 12, at the Sokol Hall. Be seeing you.

Fraternally, Mrs. Betty Jurica ) ••

Dear Brother Valcik: The Czech Ex-Students Association of Texas is now endeavoring you increase the student loan fund materially to enable the young Texans of Czech descent to attend a college or university of their selection in Texas. During the past i several years many of our young men received their education under the. G. I. Plan. Most farmers and laboring people enjoyed a fairly lucrative income from their farms or employment. Under those conditions we did not need a very large fund to accomodate our youth. Conditions are now changing. We now have younger student in the collegeswho are not entitled to G. I. benefits Income from farms is considerable less than in previous yed'rs. At the present time we have a large number of high schoolgraduates who are desirous of attending colleges. Many of them will need loans the first one or two years of their college career. Thereafter they can procure small loans and work part of the time to earn their expenses while attending college.

In the past all fraternal life insurance organizations, as well as some of their leaders, made contributions to this fund.

Every SPJST convention since 1910 made contributions to 'the cause of education in Texas and especially among the children of our members. At present all ap, plicants are assisted without regard to whether their fraternal organization or their parent contributed to the fund or not. We would appreciate it very much if every officer and director and all other officials, of every organization of Czech extraction made a contribution to this fund at least to the extent of $5 00 per annum to this cause. All contribu tons shall be directed to Mr. R. J. Bartosh, Attorney at Law, Taylor, Texas.

Assuring you that it will be a pleasiire to, learn that every officer and director of the Supreme Lodge of Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas made as large a contribution as his circumstances permit, I reinajn WOULD YOUR LODGE HELP?

The State is paying many thousands of dollars every year for office rent for State Departments, The amendment also provides for an expenditure of $30,000 for proper markers to be placed on the graves of veterans of the Texas Revolution. It also provides fOr the erection of a suitable monument at Vicksburg, Mississippi in memory of the Texans who gave up their lives tere in the Civil War. Another ‘Constitlitional Amendment which was passed by the Senate would give County, precinct and district officers a four year term of office. If this amendment is adopted it would not apply to a present term and would become effective in 1955. , The Senate also passed a Constitutional Amendment which would increase the salaries of the Constitutional State Offices of the State of Texas. Under this amendment the salary of the Governor would be raised from $12,000 to $25,000 per year. The salary of the Lieutenant Governor would be fixed at $12,000 per year. He now receives about $600.00 per year, the same pay as members of the Legislature receive. The salaries of the Attorney General would be increased from $10,000 to $15,000 per year and the salaries of the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Comptroller, and Commissioner of the General Land Office would be fixed at $12,000 annually. These offices now draw a $6,000 annual salary.

The Senate Committee on Highways and Motor Traffic has approved a bill which would authorize busses to be 4? feet long instead of the present 35 foot limit. The proponents of this legiSIation claim that most busses used in cities are 40 feet long and also that only two states in the United States do not now permit 40 foot busses. Texas being one of those two states.

The Senate Committee on Game and Fish approved a bill, over strong opposition, which would permit bow and arrow hunters to hunt deer for ten days before the regular deer season opens.

The Senate also passed a bill which would eliminate indecent and immoral literature and picture shows.

THREE KEYS TO DrINKING Three . keys to safe drinking—to prevent alcoholism—are found in an unusual international scientific study.

Our key is to make children not think of drinking as a sin. They're less likely to be attracted if drinking is not re garded as forbidden fruit, or as a sign of being grown up.

Another is the type of foods people eat. Some foods protect against bad effects from even fairly large daily amounts of alcohol.

Third is social customs. This includes types of alcoholic drinks, whether drinking is indulged in on an empty stomach, and how much affection children get.

These are the main significant findings from a study made simultaneously in Italy and New Haven, and described

by Dr. Giorgio Lolli, medical director of the Yale, Plain Clinic, an outstanding research center on causes and control of alcoholism. The work was done cooperatively by the Yale Clinic and the Institute of Food and Diet in Rome, headed by Dr. Emidio Serianni.

In Italy, alcoholism is rate. Only about 1 in 200 adults is an alcoholic. But abr.; ut 1 in 25 adult Americans is an alcoholic, sick, unable to control his exCesSiV e drinking.

"Italians are just as neurotic as Americans," Dr. Lend said. "Why don't they become alcoholics as often?"

The takeoff for the study was this: Out of the first 1,200 alcoholics seen at the Yale clinic only 40 were ItalianAmericans. That's 3 percent. Yet, about 25 percent of New Haven's population is Italian-American.

Of 40, only 3 were first-generation Italian-Americans, the others second and third generation.

The study compared the food habits, drinking habits, customs, emotional make-up, and other aspects of life of 250 men and women living in Italy, and 250 Italian-American men and women of first, second, and third generation living in New Haven.

In Italy, the study finds, people drink wine almost exclusively, mainly at meals.

Italians immigrating here keep this custom. Later their sons and daughters and grandchildren change. They, are more likely to drink beer and distilled spirits, before and after dinner.

In Italy wine is considered mainly a ood or tonic, less as something bringing relief from worry and tension.

In Italy children start getting a lit tle wine very early. It may be a few cliK.ps of wine in a glass of water. By adolescence or earlier they are drink-

ing wine at meals just like their parents.

"This drinking is perfectly natural, is not regarded as sinful," Dr. Lolli explains.

Quite often a child will have become drunk once by age 10. But the mother takes the attitude. 'It serves you right —you will learn.' She treats it as the American mother treats the child who has eaten too much candy or cake."

In America this custom changes among children of second— and thirdgeneration families. Wine or other drinks for the children are more likely to be frowned upon.

In Italy adolescents have less desire to drink when they go out on dates, or to regard drinking as a symbol of being an adult.

And, Dr. Lolli adds, in southern Mediterranean countries there are ,,usually closer and warmer family ties. The child is more likely to feel secure and less likely to do later things which he thinks the family might disapprove.

A very significant difference is in type' of food. Italians eat a higher proportion of spaghettti, macaroni, and bread than Italian-Americans who have been in this country for a while.

They get more calories, or units of food energy, from carbohydrates which are absorbed slowly by the body. After a meal, the amount of sugar in their blood rises slowly and steadily and maintains a high level for hours.

Alcohol taken with meals is not absorbed into the blodstream as rapidly to produce strong effects. Even alcohol: taken after meals is not so likely to be absorbed into the blood rapidly. The alcohol seems to be burned up more quick-. ly by the body.

This food protects against effects from alcohol. One man in New Haven, a first generation Italian-American, actually gets 38 percent of his daily calories from. alcohol, yet is perfectly healthy, and by no means an alcoholic.

He drinks wine mainly.

The American diet, on the other hand, contains more sugar and sweets. These produce a quick rise in blood sugar, but it doesn't last as long as from slowly absorbed starches and carbohydrates.

Many alcoholics -show a low blood sugar late in the day, Dr. Lolli says. They are likely to feel tired, fatigued, to want a pick-me-up cocktail.

Drinking en an empty stomach produces a much higher concentration of alcohol in the blood. Thus it is far easier to become an alcholic where social custom approves of drinking on an empty, stomach. It is easier to get quick effect

from alcohol and to return to alcohol as a way 'of handling a neurosis or other problem.

From many lines of research, Dr.' Lolli says. "It seems clear that alcoholism is not the result of just one factor but of many — including social, religious, and medical problems. Today most experts put the blame on faulty interpersonal relationships with other, people, but than is not to deny that there may not be physical reasons."

The New Haven-Italy research definitely shows that mere exposure to alcbhol does not make an alcoholic, he says.

The availability of alcohol is riot the fundamental cause of alcoholism. )®

THAT FIRST SENTENCE

allegiance to your native country, to any other land, and you subscribed to the Constitution of the United States and the laws made pursuant thereto.

These speakers, each one has emphasized the great privilege and immunities that you enjoy as American citizens.

And no matter how emphatically I speak, I cannot add by emphasis anything to what they have said: To you it is now clear that those rights which are insured to us in our great Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, are all protected bylaw and by our American way of life? And the speakers also made clear to you that they feel it is their obligation to assist in maintaining those freedoms ,in preserving those rights, And that is what I meant at the outset of this naturalization proceeding when I said to you that though you acquired privileges and immunities, likewise, you at the same time undertook an obligation. That obligation summed up briefly is to be worthy American citizens. We no longer have dual citizenship in any form. We don't tolerate the use of the terms German-American, Russian-American, Irish-American. We are all, whether native-born or naturalized citizens, we are all Amer• icans.

So, in conclusion, let me warmly congratulate you on what you have achieved today, and let me . assure . you that if you respond to what has been stated to you by your fellows this morning, and by what I have attempted to make clear, that you will enjoy the rich fruits of American citizenship.

(Applause.)

A man watched him awhile, then leaned over and put his head in the window and said: "Sonny, you'd better stick your arm out when you go around corners or you'll get into trouble!"

The most important part of the interview is the first sentence. Four psychological principles should be remembered in this first sentence. hey are: 1. Know what you are going to say and exactly the tone in which to say it.

For by comparison with some of the reasons. most of the folk on this planet we are First always, of course, comes the free- getting a lot for our money.

The Columbia Broadcasting System and 21 American universities will shortly bring to the television screen a series of educational programs which will accent research and other aspect of education contribution to individual and national welfare.

The series will be titled "The Search", and is to be televised Sundays beginning next September, date and time to be announced.

Each program will be produced at a university and will reflect the point of view of the individuals affected by, or participating in, the project under discussion. These were outlined at a meeting in CBS-TV's Grand Central Terminal Studios attended by 41 e presidents, and other high officiaA, of the participating universities.

Typical of the projected telecasts, Dr. Malcolm M. Willey, vice president of the University of Minnesota, told of his institution's Last Man's Club. The project involves 300 St. Paul and Minneapolis men, half of whom will die of cardiovascular disorders, who enlisted as guiner pigs in the university's research of heart disease.

Other project scheduled for The Search are: University of Pennsylvania: Patients are People, a course in family health advising; University of Michigan: Linguistics at the English Language Institute, wherein foreign students learn to speak fluent English in 8 weeks; University of Chicago: The Old Folks, a study in geriatrics currently under way in Kansas City; University of Iowa: A Farm Boy Looks at Art, a, fine-arts program; University of Louisville: Neighborhood University, off-campus adult education conducted in public libraries; University of North Carolina: Aristophanes Visits Old Smoky, a project of the dramatic arts department in which the dramatic group visit the mountain people twice yearly.

Milton S. Eisenhower, president of Pennsylvania State College, represented

by C. S. Wyand, commenting on the project, said: "It seems to me that through its university program series, CBS television will present more than an interesting report on modern educational activities. It will also demonstrate the social usefulness of television and provide an admirable example of the manner in which American private enterprise is now rendering helpful public service." ) Napoleon turned the Louvre in Paris into a museum.

dom we enjoy to worship as we please. It is linked with the right to think and speak'freely — as. I am here. One reason we support you is that all of us can have our say about what you do. Simetimes we'll be in, the minority, but we have the opportunity to reason with the majority, and if a man relies on the power of truth and justice to prevail that is all he asks.

Sonie restrictions have been placed on economic liberty by government, by large corporations, and by labor unions.

But in the main our economy is free and rewards individual initiative. We have not achieved complete equality of opportunitY for all citizens, but are making good progress.

Indeed, the United States is still the land of opportunity. Our lives and prop erty are protected, order maintained, and justice administered. Much of the money we hand over to you goes for these and other services we take for granted until we qieed them.

As I said, I'm not satisfied with the cost or quality of government any more than with some other goods and services I buy. Too often it is inefficient or even corrupt. But it is our Government, and we can improve it. Just this year we've put in a new management. I'd like a better home, but am grateful I can keep up the mortgage payments on the one I've got. In the same way I am grateful I

Zavesila se do neho a odchazela s nim a detrni. Vychazka ji ponekud unavila.

UchYlila se brzo do sveho svetlezeleneho pokcje, vyhiateho sluncem na chodni strane, odkud bylo videti na Aire, Riche vody.

Heiman se brzo zase objevil. Sam, dosud jegte zjihlY, zamyglen. Zahnul stranou, do zahrady. Ztratil se v jejich prostorach jako poutnik. Co byla • jeho amIsterodarnska 21ahrada prcti tehle!

JOSEF KAJZZAN TYL (Napsal Jaroslav F. Chmelieek) Buclit Cechy ' ze sna, to ma dennl prace, aby hlas infij dogel z chY ge do palace.

Hrorte si, jak hrorte, ja se nepodesim; ja jsem Cech a mee na hreb nepovesim.

Toto prohla geni verne pinil a jiz v jinosskem zamcem pojal Josef Kajetan Tyl, kterY se pro svuj narod upracoval a ktereho obeas vzpominame. Je dlouha rada nadhernYch a obdiyuhodmich postay v Ceske historii a v delinach eeskeho umeni, ale kutnohorskY rodak Tyl lezi bez vYhrady mezi nejprednej gi. Prace pro narod -- to je nadhernY cil Zivota.

Jen pro nej zil a laska k narodu byla jeho geniem, vzpruhou. Pro svou vlast psal basne, povidky, romany, divadelni hry, lidovYchovne stati, studie, kritiky, programove elanky; pro ni prekladal, rozepisoval, opravoval, hral, reliroval, organisoval, redaktoril, poslancoval a stal na barikadach. Pro vlast snasel bidu, rval se s osudem, s neprizni uradu r odparcil z eeskYch rad, kterYch ov gem na praZskYch barikadach videti nebylo; pro ni trpel, pro ni preziral svou nemoc a s ni rnysli opougtel svet, aby tepr y mohl bYti teprve ocenen.

Josef Kajetan Tyl byl velkY mueednik; je tolik tragickeho v jeho osudu a soucasne tolik hrdinskeho, kozacky hrdinskeho; on potlaeil sviij bol, zaprel se a pracoval dal a jako bohate paprsky rozmetaval Tyl bohate dary srdce sveho na vgechny strany, zarl prikladem a roznitil k dal gi praci. Osobni prospechy pomijel a cele sve horouci srdce viasti a narOdu zasvetiv, neustaval ye vlasteneckem, blahodejnem piisobeni ani tenkrat, kdy Cerny nevdek bolestne se dotkl jeho jemnocitu, kdy rozlieni "vlasteneeti" kteri jen tehdy vlast velebili, kdyl jim jako starostliva matka pinou misu na still kladla.

Jeho dilo bylo zleheovano, a zlehouje se ostatne az dosud. Ale kdo z tech jestrabtl, kteri pokreuji rameny nad literarni a dramatickou tvorbou Tylovou, byl by napsal co lep giho v letech nageho obrozeni a literarniho romantismu? Kdo z nich byl by ochoten obetovati v ge tak odhodlane a s nad genim jako Tyl? Vzpominame chudeho koeovniho herce, ktereho uz daNno ukryl zeme klin; byl jako bludnY poutnik, ke vsem ranam, mrazu a vetru nemY. 13y1 jsi, Kajetane, z tech =hi velkych mySlenek, je2 nepo-
