PENSIJN! NADER A VIDINY

bezpeeeni—social security—poskytuje a co neposkytuje. Na gi organisatoti take dostanou yYstrahu, to socialni zabezpeeeni neposkytuje bezpeenost pro katdeho nebo v katdem ptipadu. Socialni pojigteni poskytuje toliko nejnutnej gi ,eastku pro toho, kdo po 65 letech ptestane pracovati, jde do vYslutby a zUstane dome,. Jestli pensista najde si jinou praci, ktera, spada pod kontrolu zakona o socialnim pojigteni, je nebezpedi-to osoba pozbude naroky na pensi, protote si ptivydelava.

Pokyny a podrobnosti o socialnim pojigteni meli by znati v gichni nagi organisatoti. Oni 'prodavaji pensijni pojistky, oni by men znati podminky, jimit seridi vladni pensijni poji gteni.

TVURCE AMERICKE HYMNY Za easneho jitra pied 139 lety, 14. za,-' ti 1814, zpozoroval Francis Scott Key, ze prapor hvezd a pruha nad pevnosti McHenry pies stra glivou bouti bitvy se neshroutil a dosud vial. V hlubokem pohnuti mysli napsal baser, ktera se stala ametickou narodni hymnou.

Zakonem kongresu SpojenYch state z roku 1931 ustanovena byla za narodni hymnu nagi zeme ona baseri "The Star Spangled Banner" (Prapor hvezd a pruona baseri jeZ zrodila se v treskotu bitvy v toce 1814. Jejim tvarcem byl Francis Scott Key, americkY basnik, a tehdy navladni Districtu Columbia, kterY se narodil v okresu Frederick statu Maryland roku 1780 a zemtel v roce 1843.

Kdy Key zpozoroval toho pamatneho jitra 14. zati 1814, Ze prapor vlaje nad pevnosti McHenry, ziskal jistotu, Ze amerieti obhajci doposud ociolavaji neobyeejne prudkemu ittoku britickeho lod'stva, ktere ye velike sile priplulo, aby tvrz, chranici ptistav Baltimore v Ma.rylandu.

Napinal zrak k mistam, kde videl den pied tim ye ve6ernim soumraku prapor hvezd a pruha majestatne na bagte jako y Yzvu neptiteli, aby se pokou gel jej sraziti. Kdy pak mraky dYmu a husta mlha, zahalujici ptistav, se rozplynuly pti rozedneni, jittni asvit pozdravil hvezdnatY prapor, kterY hrd6 vial i pies to, ze byl prostfilen nepitatelskYrni sttelami. V hlubokera pohnuti Key vytahl z naprsni kapsy stark dopis, na jeho eistou zadni stranu napsal baser, ktera byla pavodne otisknuta na zpasob plakatt pod nadpisem "Bornbardovani pevnosti McHenry."

A nyni se teprve ukazalo, ze aekoliv Francis Scott Key, kterY byl poslan pod bilYm praporem k neptiteli v Baltimorskein zalivu, byl v den onen vlastn'e proti valce. Tento zajirnavY fakt vy gel na jevo v rt ade dopisa zachavanYch Historickou Spoleencsti v Marylandu a uve •ejnench poprve v jejim easopise. Key nazval v one dobe tehdej gi konflikt, valeene sttetnuti, "ohavnou valkou" a domnival se, Ze nebyla, nutna.

Kdy se britske lod'stvo piipravovalo k atoku na tvrz McHertry, strategickY umistenou v Usti ieky Potomacu, vstoupil Key v Baltimore na malt elun, spolu s vladnirn zastupcem Johnem S. Skinnerem. Jejich cilem bylo dosahnouti neptatelskeho lod'stva. Ptised ge k cili, snaZili se dosici propugteni vezne Dr. Williama Beanesa.

Buckholts, Texas.

V minulem eisle Vestniku ze dne 12. srpna t. r., br. Jan StaSa ma elanek, kterY vrha stin na dobre jmeno naSeho fadu, jeho fifednikri, i jeho zdejgich JelikoS jest to vefejne nafknuti nas jako *tie nkeho nefestneho, 'Sktdci nejen sebe, ale cele Jednoty, podavame take yefejne vysvetleni a obhajeni. Mimo toho jest to rozprava o problemu; kterYm se ted' zabYvaji vgechny lady, ktere vlastni taneeni sine. Doufame, Se sdelenim naSich zkuknosti s tak citlivou otazkou pomUSeme jim pkedejit neodUvodnenYm jako se stab nam.

KdyS jsme na gi prostornou sin pronajali jednotlivci, jednali jsme tak ku dobru nakho fadu, nikoliv ku jeho Skode.

Nejednali jsme ukvapene, dlouho jsme se rozmYSleli, zatim co jsme kaZdou mo2nost uva2ili aneb vyzkoukli. Thinely nas k tomu okolnosti, nad kterYmi jsme nemeli kontrolu, neb nefidime sveta bell; naopak, ten kid' nas. Tento nam pkines1 novou modu pofadani zabav, kdy vice prazdne taneeni kolo s lavicemi kol steny nevyhovovalo, a bylo nahraSeno zatizenirn klubovnim.

Tao nove mode padly na.Se zabavy za °bet'. Zabavy, ktere jsme pokadali, se nevyplacely, kdy navStevy byly male anebo docela Sadne. Dalsi nesnazi bylo dostat kapely, neb ony navStevy piitahovaly; za procento jiti hrat nechtely, jen za zarueenY obnos. Nedivili jsme se kapelam — kogile blizsi neSli kabat, ale kdy se east() prodelavalo na zabavach potadanYch z procenta, kdo by si byl vzal no, zodpovednost hazardovat s fadovYmi penezi! Za to VSechna test zabavnimu vYlooru.

NekterSim se zdalo, Se pomrik vYbor zmenit, i tak se stab. Ale Sadno, naprava, byl to skok z pane do ohne. Nebyla to chyba vYboru toho ani toho. Zkratka, nase zatizeni nevyhovovalo pikadavkrim vekej nosti.

V kaSde schrizi jsme tuto citlivou otazku projednavali. Byl mezi nami jeden Glen, br. Harris, kterY nas nabadal, abychom do sine zafidili stoly a 'Sidle, a nabizel se nam hledat kapely, neb mel podobne zkuknosti, aneb Se by sjednal nam aspori kapely, kdy bychom jim dali male najemne. Na posledni jsme Br. Harris sjednal znamou kapelu, ktera„ nam dala $10.00 najemneho za veeer. 0ni brali vstupne, my jsme meli nalevnu, a dobfe jsme pochodili oboji. Podruhe /lam dali $12.00 najmu a zase s dobrYm vYsledkem. Po tfeti zase za tent najein, ale navgteva Sadna, prodelali jsme oboji.

Meli jsme z toho dukaz, ze u nas ztratila

VESTNft — WEST,

pfitallivost i sebe znamej gi. kapela. Od to doby se nam zname kapely vyhYbaly, a tern malYm "Skrabaekam", co byly ochotny hrat, se zase vyhYbala vefejnost, take nebyla nadeje na sebemenSi na.vgevu.

Uplynuly takto mesice, rok a brzy druhy, a pomery se nelepSily, horsily. At' nebylo piIjmu, vydani neubylo. Pokladna byla prazdna. Br. pokladnik dostaval pravitelne obsilku z banky, aby zapravil schodek. Ten schodek se zapravil jen tehdy, kdy se ye schtlzi vybraIo vice neSSe jsme li se odeslalo, tak muSeme skakali od schodku ku schodku.

Abychom pfedeSli obSalobe, ze tfeba nab fifednici si brali mot vysoke platy, uvadime je tady ku vaSemu posouzeni.

Mesieni plat byl: iteetni $7 50; tajemnice, $5.00; pokladnik, $2.25; a pfedseda a rnistopfedseda a vYbory nernely platu • S porovnanim u jinych radu to bylyy p aty, ale almuSna. Castokrat ani ty nebyly vyplaceny, kdy platit nebylo z eeho. Od pronajmuti sine platy byly ustanoveny trochu lepSi, ale stale jate skrovne. Nyni mesieni plat jest: pfedseda, $1.00; mistopfedseda, 50c; neetni, $7.50; tajemnice, $7.50; a pokladnik, $5,00.

Trochu jsme se pfedbehli a musime nazpet, neb jen tak lehko nebylo fad ze zkrouknych pomert vyvest. Mimo vS'ech tech vYSe uvedenYch trampot byla strata dobrYch fadovYch pracovnikii. Prvni byl br. Fr. Janek kterY zemfel v Case, kdy byl na zabavnim vYboru. Jeho piin g ruka nam vAude schazela, neb on sin i s nadvofim opatroval jako sve. Druha strata bylo, kdy br. Raymond Zajieek nam vypoveal fidit nalevnu pro pfi gti rok. Nemohli jsme se jemu divit, neb on i jeho manSelka men pki zabave mnoho prate, a kdy nebylo vYteSku, nebrali platu, cot bylo skoro poka,Scle. To nepatfi v bratrskein spolku, aby jeden delai za vgechny, ac se tak east° stava: Byli jsme uS stlaeeni ku zdi a dale nemohli odkladat koneene rozhodnuti. Meli jsme na vybranou jeden ze tfech zpriso• Prvni bylo sin tavfit a savest fadove poplatky; druhe bylo sin zmodernisovat klubovnim zatizenim; a tfeti bylo sin pronajmout. Pro prvni jsme nadkni nebyli, neb jsme fadove poplatky jednou meli a neosvedeily se. Chudak fieetni to odnesl, neb elenove, kdy platili, jemu vyeitali Ustne i v dopisech. Nefikame 2e vgichni, ale pro obti2 bylo jich dost.

Pro druhe, abychom sin klubovne sakijsme nadkni nebyli, neb minilo to • fad znovu zadluiit. To je lehka, vec dluh udelat, tens' je ho zaplatit, radeji se ho pfedem uvarovat.

Zaeali jsme tedy uvarovat o zprisobu tfetim, sin pronajmout s podminkou, najemnik musi bYti elenern fidu a elovek v ka2dem ohledu spolehlivST.

Strana 5 Kdy'Z' byla pofadana vSrrooni schUze dne 2. prosince 1952, za pritomnosti asi 60 elenti, br. Cecil Harris nam podal nabidku pet set dolara rodniho najmu s "option" na dali dva roky, dle ostatnich podminek jake sami uloZime. Tato nabidka byla ptijata, jeliko2 dal gi od e'enstva nebylo. AC neelen by tteba byl dal vetS1 najem, obavali jsme se, 2e by sin znet2'il, zkratka, h by jemu na nas nezaVe schuzi byly ujednany fadove podminky a ustanoveni bti. Jan Kuhl, Ladislav Svetlik a Jan Brti g na vYbor najern dojednat a pak nechat sepsat nájemni srnlouvu. AC podminky byly v ka2dem. ptipadu tadu pliznive a proti najemci dosti ptikre, br Harris na ne stoupil a dosud je zachovava.

Smlouva veSla ihned v platnost a br.

Harris neme'Skal easu se zatizovanim sine. Koupil 75 stout a pkisluSnY podet 2idli, zavedl "butane" plyn pro zahfivani a koupil elektrickY chladie do nalevny.

Tento chladie, kterY ma snosnost 90 beden piva, nahradil nak obyeejne ledem chladici vany, ktere byly jednak derave a za druhe vkly se pH nick podlaha zaSplichala a pak hnila. Br. Harris na toto a jegte jive zatizeni utratil nekolik tisic dolarri.

KdyS uz si br. StaSa vzal tonic easu, si sin prohlednul i se zakizenim, dokonce i vstupne zjistil atd., mohl si vziti daal eas vynajit, ze najemnik jest br. Harris a 2adnY neelen. Je to vaSna, vec nekoho vet ejne podezfivat a pisatel ma miti dukazy, a teprve Mat Utok.

My, neSli jsme br. Harrisovi sin pronajali, vedeli jsme o nem, Se je elovek poctivY a Oelkem dobre povesti. Dali jemu odportreeni zdefSi obehodnici a ptedseda Buckholts State Bank, br. Ed. Kolba, nejen dal jemu odporueeni, ale i pronajmuti sine schvalil. Take jsme se na. br. Harrise pfeptali v osade Davilla, kde byl vychovan a dosud s manZelkou farmafi, a vSude jen pfiznive yeti o nem siyseli. Nikde jsme neslyseli, 'g e by byl nekoho dluhy iepiatil, anebo se neslugne choval.

Mankle Harrisovi maji jedineho syna, Cecil Ray, kterY jest take elenem nakho fadu. Jest yam mnohYin znam jako "Butterball" pti kapele "Jimmy Heap and the Melody Masters".

Br. Harris byl je ge napaden, h je jinonarodovec, coS vSak jemu za hfich nepokladame. Oloveku, kterY ma, jak piedem uvedeno, vlastnosti, se no, narodnost nehledi. Presto zminka o jinonarodovei, majicim podil na kadove einnosti, jest gipkou na pomery do bucloucnosti, neb kde se u iadu zruSnje eeska tee, je mo2nost, Ze tam budou vladnout v ittadech jinonarodovci. A postupem easu i Hlavni Utadovna bude` zastoupena jimi a jedinou veci pri ni slovanskeho bude jeji na-

Strana zev. Neschvalujerne to, jen poukazujome na mognost, jestli se smer vedeni nagich tadll v tom ohledu nezmeni. e br. Harris zakidil sift die nova rriddy, nezdalo se nam nic gpatneho, vgdyt' v tadove sini v Holland stoly a gidle og davno men a vefejnost si je velice chvalila,. Ted' i v sini ado Praha v Taylor take maji klubovni zarizeni s velikYm chem. Na druhe strane, kde sine jsou drgene pit stare mode, zabavy upadaji aneb upadly upine. Ov gern mnohY z nas si vzdychnul po starem zpUsobu, ale tech vzdychajicich u g je mak), aby zabavy udrgeli, a v pokladne vzdechy nemaji ceny.

Kagda, zmena zpOsebi jistou nelibost, avgak dasem si ptivykneme. Pamatujeme se, kdyg prvne zadala mdda, aby chlapci stall uprostted kola a deveata v tanci druhYm hochum ptebirali. V to dobu byl na Seaton SokolskY Slet a hogi se chovali die nove mody, co g jednoho horliveho dallaskeho Sokola velice rozeililo. JeSte ted' sly gime jak BAR, ge se mla,deg neslugne chova, ge to neni tanec, ale kradeg. Hnal se do kola chlapce rozehnat, jente jemu vy gli vstfic dva buckholtai hat Sokol' s vyhrnutYma rukavy a ti ho "ptemluvili". Po ease to piestalo bYti nove a privykli jsme tomu tak, ge ted' kdyg to nahradila rn.dda klubovni, dokonce toho litujeme. Jako tehdy, i ted' si ptivykneme na jinou modu, a ag to bode nahragena neeim novej girn, budeme litovat a vzdychat zase.

Nekteti lide uz takovi jsou, ge vgegehny stare veci u nick maji svatozat. Takove mineni je velice chybne, neb v gechno ma sve svetle i stinne stranky. Kdy g nejsme predpojati, uvidime obe stranky ph dobach ga glych i v dobe ptitomne. Tak jiste i pit to nove mode zabov, ktera neni naskrz dobra, ani Spatna. Jedno se nam ph. ni libi, a to jest, ge kdyg tam rodiee pfivedou decry, maji je celY yeeer na oeich neb neni ptieiny, aby se po celY eas zibavy z mistnosti vzdalily. Jestli se vadne chovaji, rodide to mohou sami videt a nemusi se to doslYchat od jinYch lidi.

Kdy2 si br. Stab, o nas dovolil malovat obrazek, my s nirn obrazky ptirovname.

Prvni jest obrazek z nove rnOdy, jak vYge uveden a jine nasleduji: Kdyg byly zabavy dle stare mody, miadeg se pit ka gde pfestavce vyhrnula ze ,mn'e ku nalevni pro obeerstveni. Po chvili se mnohe parky pak rortrousily po karach, aneb se zkratka ztratiiy do tmy.

BYvalo z toho feel a pomluv, kter 'e mnoha matka i s dcerou opla.kaly. Mnoha deveata si to zaslou gila, ale nekdy take nektera byla nevinne pomluvena, tfeba ze zavisti. Pamatujeme geny, /dere pozdeji veCer ode ly ulotit deti ku spanku v karach, ge tarn videly obrazky a g hruza.

Tak, ktere jest hor gi pro rodiee, pfivest decry na zabavu a mit je v dohledu, a-

VEST NI K — WEST, TEXAS nebo se strachovat polovic Casu kde jsou?

Necheeme ge v gechna deveata a hogi byli tenkrat 4patni, neb vetgina jich byla slugnYch, a tvrdime, ge i dues mezi temi, co choeli do nagich ilubovne zatizenYch sini, jsou sluttia deveata a hog.

Tento ptevod z jedne rxiddy na druhou se netykal jen nas, ale i spolku R.V.O.S., kterY piedtim podobne pojigteni neptijimai. Negli nam pojigteni nechali, nas vygettit, a kdyg nic zavadneho ptijali nas poznovu. Jsme vdeeni cele hlavni Uradovne R. V. 0. S. za jejich bratrskou yYpomoc, neb na jejich rozsudku zavi.sel osud na geho tido.

Spolku R.V.O.S. hlavne zale gelo na torn, aby pit zabavach byl drien dobrY potadek. Na torn take zale gi br. Harrisovi, aby chra,nil sebe i nas, a vgdy na zabavach udrguji potadek dva Atednici. Kdy g to dostaei hia,vni idadovne R.V.O.S., i nam zdej gim muge to postaeit — i br. Stagovi.

Na, zabavach bYvaji zamestnani br. a ses. Ed. Svobodovi, joked nedavnem take br. a ses. Raymond Zajiekovi a dokonce ptedseda. Nejhorgi, co my jsme o zdejgich zabavach sly geli, bylo, kdyg broth 8talmachovi vypraveli, jak tam videli br.

Frantu Zajieka tancovat!!! (Posledni prijmete gertem, my vgdy radi si br. ZajiCka dobirame. Ujitt'ujeme vas, ge si ho vagime beze vgeho gertu.)

Br. Stags, dale vola o zmenu jmena naM sine a strachoje se, ge tadovY odznak ptichazi ku stra gnemu zneucteni. Jest to jako povel strojit kti gacke vYpravy obe vysvobodit. Jak asi uznavate, neni k tomu picidiny neb vette, ge my prave opakit se ball, aby br. Harris jmeno nezinenil.

To by zas nekdo pougil ku la,mentovani, ge jsrne sin upine "za gantroaili", i jmene ji vzali. Ztiistalo pit starem a dokud sift budeme pougivat za fadovY domov, dotud peticipa, hvezda bude trimit jako odznak v4jim narogi.

Ted' ptipada fada na, radu br. Stage, abychom, sin prodali, za $20,000.00, pastavili mengi budovu, a s ulogenim hotovosti pod pet procent Urokt, nam pfinese tisic dolart rodne.

Prvni jest otazka zdali bychom nagli kupce, kterY by nam tolik dal. Za, druhe, pit dnegni dra,hote, bychorn museli utratit aspon deset tisic dolarti na stavbu noye budovy, kdyg bychom nechteli zustat bez domova. I za ten obnos byl by to jen carek proti budove jakou mame ted'.

Kdyg bychom postavili novou mistnost, newton bychom 20 tisic ku ulo geni, ani tisic dolart rodniho pfijmu. Nevime hnedle o mists, kde penize by ptinagely tak velkY tirok a pit torn byly jiste. Pozerujeme, ge nejvice tady ukladaji ptebyteene penize do vladnich bondu a ty nesou nizke procento tirokti. Pravda jest, ge valuta majetkii stoupa a neklesa, ale i kdy g poklesne, brzo neztratime, nob na ge sin pii-

Ve stfedu, dne 9. zit' 1953. vodne stala Best Lisle dolara a ptistayba osmnact set dolartii. Az pornery budou tak zle, ge hodnota teto budovy padne pod tento obnos, pova gte kolik hodnoty by mel nejakY ten carek. Necht' si nikdo nedela laskominy, ge my budeme nynejgi sift prodavat. Lep gi, ba jistej gi bude, kdyg si podr g ime, co mame, abychom tieba nedopadli jako zdej gi tad R.V.O.S., ktereho jsme take elenove. Tento R.V.O.S. tad nema sveho domova, potada schOze v nasi SPJST, sini a co men na gettene penize rozpujeili na vednou oplatku. Komu je ptijeilt? No tem elentim-trubctim, co chodili a napted medem okolo fist mazali a pak horkYmi pilulkami oplaceli. Br. Stab, piece trochu pravdy mel o tech limbcich, jen tady si popletl.

Take neni pravda, nejsme schopni sami za sebe myslet a 2e nas tady ovlada, nejakY robot, ktereho pokyny mechanicky koname. Nernusi se nikdo domnivat, ge by se nam s nim vgechen rozum vystehoval. Zustalo a pfibylo nam elenstva, kteti doka gi rozvagne myslet. Dokud staCi, tidime se syYm rozumem, kdy g pochybi, jdeme zcela otevtene o radu tam, kde to problem vy gaduje. Na ptiklad, v nagich obchodnich zale gitostech jdeme o radu za br. Kolbou ye zdej gi bance, a v eiste tadovYch zale gitostech radime se s Hlavni iltadovnou. Take nam v minulosti ptispeli radou br. Aug. Kacit, Reuben Legikar a nyni jig zesnulY Thos. V. Adams zde. 2acinjr od nas negadal honorate, tti posledne jmenovani nam nebyli nieim povinni. Jsme vgem vdeeni za jejich vsr -pomc,alejstimnabYtizohanba, to zase ne.

Nebudeme se dohadovat, kdo byl ten elovek, kterY se o nas tolik strachoval a pri tern nebyl povidalek, ale tvrdime, ge sam nekona, svou elenskou povinnost. Na,ge schtize jsou pro v gechny nage eleny vgdy otevtene, nikdo neni povazova,n za vice aneb merle jako druhY. Take jest mognost, ge tento elen brueel jen tak ze zvyku, a pit torn ma svfij tad rad jako my, a v ptipadu potteby by se ho zastal.

Na objas ni toho bodu, a abychom neztiistali nic dlugni, vracime toho cikana, ktereho br. Stara pou gil vysvetlit, prof br. Kugela nohy boli. Nage: Bylo to take ye starem kraji, kde se jeden pantata ubiral silnici a pti gel na, to, jak cikan cikanku velice bil. Tonto pantata bez rozmy gleni skoeil a zaeal cikana, miatit, aby cikanku obhajil. Ne gli se pantato toho nadal, kezali ho oba, a kdy g ho pternohli, cikanka na nej ktidela, "te vgak cikan veal, prof ji bije". Z toho mame ponaueeni, lids se v rodine east° gkorpi, ptesto nechti, aby se cizi mezi ne michali. V fade jest to tote g, jsme jedna velka rodina a i kdy g mame sve rozdily, proti titoku z vend jsme spojeni v cclek.

The report is not questioned at all, but the organizers of District Five told the visitors from District Three that District Five will outsell and outdo District Three from September 1 until December 31. It was a friendly challenge which the officers of District Three had unofficially accepted, subject to the approval of the organiiers in both District Five and District Three.

Maybe, we will have a state organizer by that time to be an umpire. * * ANOTHER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEment will be made very shortly by the officers of District Five. A contest will be sponsored by District Five, an "Es. say Contest," which will be open to chil dren living in the following counties: Brazoria, Port Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty and Waller. The "Essay Contest" will be similar to the one sponsored by District Three. As soon as the committee works out the rules, the details of the contest will be published in the Vestnik.

• • PERSONALLY, YOUR EDITOR BElieves that these two items, the challenge of one group of organizers to the other group; and the essay writing for the children about the SPJST, will offer plenty of impelling force to the activities among the children and the local solicitors. Both 'of these ideas are very timely. We need more action among the children; and we will also welcome a good stir among the organizers.

MAY I CALL YOUR ATTENTION that the "Essay Contest" is already under way in District Three? Should you wish to know more about it, read the details in this issue. It tells you everything 'you wish to know. It names the eight counties in District Three. But be sure that your name and your address, should you write your 300-word essay, is written on a separate sheet of paper.

The judges must not know the names of the contestants. It will be a strictly unpartial contest.

Here's another science report on the value of eating a good breakfast. "The Journal of The American Dietetic Association" has published a study on the way a man's work is affected by the presence or absence of his morning meal.

Ten men went through a three-week series or tests and observation during which time they were eating an average breakfast. Then the tests were duplicated aver a three-week period during which they ate no breakfast. The results were really amazing.

During the time they went Without breakfast, nine of the ten men had a

Eight of the ten subjects fell off badly in their work output on the nobreakfast days. What they did was measured scientifically, loo-not just guessed at. The two other men did less work when they: skipped breakfast, but the difference wasn't so. marked.

Finally, the so-called "choice reaction time" was significantly increased in several of the men who didn't get a wake-up meal. In other words, the individuals had slowed 'up — 'weren't "sharp," as the slang expression has it.

At the third district meeting the editor chided this reporter about the lack of news from our lodge. But all reporters know that sometimes news is not of a type which can be used and also he is not always, informed if he just doesn't happen to be on the spot when news happens.

For those of us from Ennis Lodge No. 25 who attended the Third District meeting in Fort Worth, the trip was well worth making. The exchange of ideas, meeting old friends and making new was very gratifying. Each lodge represented must certainly have gone home with some helpful idea in lodge work. We in this district are very fortunate to have a hard working and enthusiastic group of officers. They are giving freely of their time and energy.

It behooves every member to be helpful and appreciative of their praiseworthy efforts. To do less than they can only make teamwork less possible.

From. ,reports, brought back from the Fifth District meeting: by Officers of the Third District, who attended, that group is going at a great rate. Even the recent rains in that section failed to dampen enthusiasm. It is reported that many of the ideas adopted by the Third District were discussed there also and are being considered useful. A competitive spirit si being aroused between these two districts when the challenge was cast and accepted as to which district would make the greatest proportionate growth in this quarter.

Our lodge will hold its regular meeting on September 13. Brother Koliha from the Supreme Lodge has been invited to address this meeting. Brother Sid Pokladnik, president of Third District, will also have some interesting information. The sisters of the lodge are being asked to bring kolache, cakes or anything else they wish so that refreshments can be served. As you know sisters, our meetings are usually at-

tended by only the men. We could certainly go along and attend too, and have a nice visit with each other also.

I'll be there, will you?

Coming up for discussion in this meeting will be preparation for the forthcoming district meeting to be held in Ennis in November. We also have a number of local problems which need attention.

It has been customary for some months to have a social evening on Tuesday following regular meeting. The September Tuesday will skip refreshments so that time can be devoted to work on program for the district meeting. Also it is planned to teach the Slovenska Beseda and those interested as well as parents whose young children who would learn it are reeplested to come then.

Incidentally, the Sbor Miadeze Barn Dance was quite a success. Financially it will be a boost for the local swimming pool fund. Miss Frances Zapletal, who is the Sbor Mladeze candidate for queen of the Optimist Carnival, is receiving votes purchased with the proceeds of this dance. Votes may also be purchased by dropping money into jars with her name at the various business places about town. Let's help her win.

The dance had been lively entertainment, the hail being appropriately decorated with lantern light, Cartoon animals, barn regalia and colorful streamers. The stage itself was fenced in as a corral. Music was donated by three orchestras and wonderful music it was.

Folks came dressed in jeans and calico and enjoyed themselves. Mention was made of a cotton pickers' dance so we may have another grand time. Might be a welcome change, dragging feet to music instead of a cotton sack.

The Blind Man Who Could See (By T. J. Enright) Once in awhile, someone enters our life for a brief moment with a word or action which leaves a lasting impression, and then, as suddenly, drops out of our existence.

Not long ago, finding myself in a dilemma which seemed to have no tolerable solution, I was oblivious to everything but the immediate situation.

While on a bus we stopped to pick up a passenger. I had been staring out the window and paid no attention to the new rider until I heard someone say, "Well, it looks like spring is here. It's wonderful!"

Something in the tone of the voice made me turn to look at its owner.

Seating himself in the seat directly behind the driver was a gray-haired old man whose clothing bespoke the fact that he was not richly endowed with worldly goods. He did, however, possess a smiling countenance—the kind you see only on someone who is at peace with himself and the rest of the world.

He also carried a cane, a white cane, an emblem of blind people.

I stared at him blankly for a moment thinking how incongruous was his smiling face with what I interpreted to be the state of the world in general by virtue of my own problems. I turned back to the window and paid no attention to the chatter between the driver and the blind man.

A little further on he got off the bus.

Watching him as another passenger helped him down the steps, I suddenly remembered what he had said—it looks like spring is here—not feels or seems, but looks. The paradox struck me. I felt an impulse to get off and look for the blind man who could see. But, what would I say to him? Again I turned to the window. It did look like spring! It was the first time I had noticed. Actually, things weren't too bad. I was fairly well off. I had my health—and a pair of eyes. Everything to brighten. My problem still had no solution, but somehow I felt I would find one if I just opened my eyes.

As it turned out, it wasn't such a terrible problem after all, but I have the chance remark of a man whose name I do not know and who can never read this, to thank for showing me how to count my blessings.

We extend our invitation to the time we will be able to hold it at a future date and will notify you and hope you will be able to make it then.

MOTIVATE THROUGH THE HEART Take a tape measure, Now measure your nearest associate from his head to his pocketbook. It , will be about 32 inches. Now measure from his heart to his pocketbook—that is only 14 inches.

Since that is the case, why not shoot at the heart? It's 18 inches closer: Reason alone will not sell insurance. When we can reach a man't heart, we can sell, and he will reach for his pocketbook.

When the great ocean liner, Queen Mary, pulls into the docks in New York, she is unable to dock herself. It takes four powerful tugboats to bring her in.

What is the greatest tugboat in the world? It's your heart. What's in your heart is written on your face. To be successful you must have love of people and sell from your heart.

Good Salesmen use tugboats—motiv-, ation, education of children, fishing in Florida, workshop hobby, etc. Try to appeal to the heart. rather than the head.

Do not try to reason.

Helen Keller or Napoleon?

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Our thoughts make us what we are, The mind can be made a beaven of hell or a hell of heaven. Napoleon had everything a man usually craves— glory, power, riches. Yet, he said at St. Helena, "I have never known six happy days in my life." Helen Keller— blind, deaf and dumb—declared, "I have found life so beautiful."

If we will take a few minutes and go over the policy when we deliver it, review the points that we brought out when we sold it, and be satisfied that the name, age, etc., are correct on the policy, it will be the most profitable few minutes we can spend.

There was a man who always wanted watch; however, he couldn't tell time.

At Christmas his family gave him a watch and chain. That morning he strutted down the street to see his friend, Joe, who wasn't able to tell time either. As he met Joe, he threw out his chest so he could see the watch and chain. Joe said, "What time is it?" He removed the watch, looked at it, and held it up so Joe could see. "Thar she is," he said. Joe, after looking at it for a moment said, "Damn if it aint."

There are many policies placed in the same manner. An agent spends days obtaining a prospect, finally completes an application, and when the policy comes he takes it to the insured, throws it on the table, and says, "There she is." The prospect says, "Damn if it ain't." Six months go by and the agent puts it on

(By L. M. Jacobs) the lapse sheet, not knowing why it lapsed, walks over to the superintemi ent, throws the lapse sheet on his desk, and says, "There she goes."

The combination agent may use the following: "Suppose your local bank president told you that he wound give you a safe deposit box for 30 cents a week and guaranteed to place $500 in it for your wife as soon as you die.

You'd accept this offer, wouldn't you?"

That's why yoU'll be interested in this plan that I want to talk to you about."

When you go out to collect and the insured states that he would not be able to continue the insurance, and, for example, the amount due 'on the insurance is $5.80, you take a plain piece of paper and draw a line down the center.

State to the prospect that on the lefthand side of the line you will put his obligation to the company, $5.80. On the right-hand side of the line you will put the companys obligation to him, and enumerate just what each policy consists of. Then tear the paper in two and state to the prospect, "I hold in my left hand your obligation of $5.80 and in my right hand the company's obligation to you in return for this $5.80. I am sure you would much prefer to assume the smaller obligation rather than the greater one. If you do not pay the $5.80 I will have to leave the paper I hold in my right hand with you because that becomes your obligation rather than the company's."

When a new baby is born on your debit, take two forms W-4, withholding vouchers and state, "Mr. Prospect, perhaps your company has furnished you with these vouchers. If not, I have two for you that you can complete and in so doing it will mean that you will have several more dollars per week income due to an additional dependent. While I am here, I should like to talk to you about some insurance on the baby."

Prospecting Is Key At least 50 per cent of an agent's success as an underwriter depends on prospecting, and yet most agents spend less than 5 per cent of their time on it.

Virtually every production slump can be traced to a prospecting slump.

So often we write our prospects on a piece of paper or anything we may have in our pocket, and often we lose it. If you will get, a diary and use it as a prospect book, putting down the name, address, date and time, for each ap pointment, you will find that it will be very helpful. If you are unable to get

a specific date and time, put down the time that it will suit you to see the prospect.

If we are to become successful, we must keep our prospect list up. Someone has said that prospecting is like shaving—unless we do something about it every day we will soon look like a bum. Unless we do something about prospecting each day, we will find our names nearer the bottom of the list than the top. We can't expect a prospect to be any more enthusiastic about life insurance than we are. If you want to kindle a light in the prospect's heart, first kindle one in your own heart.

We can't expect our friends to prospect for us, but if we will go to a young man and say, "Your name was given to me by one of your friends, Mr. 'X,' and I want you to give me the name of your neighbor and I will tell you before I go to see him what I am going to say to him." Then you have a chance to tell him your sales talk and you have talked to two people, and he is not afraid to tell ycu his friend's name.

By using this simple formula, you can always have prospects and when you call on a person, whether you sell him or not, add another name to your list.

Don't put off until the next day, but always add another name to your 'list.

"WHY?" An Important 'Word A little three-lettei: word should be used often. It is one of the most important words in the English language for insurance men. Why? "I don't believe in life insurance." "Why?" "I don't want any insurance." "Thais most interesting, Why?' "Ask and ye shall receive." You've got to ask questions. You set the stage.

Ask and ask. We must work with neds, not wants. "Mr. Prospect, I came to see you today because my company has some ideas that will help you and make it easy. What do you want out of life?

We go day by day in rain or weather.

Why? What do you want out of life?

"Unless we know what we want,. we can't get it. All of us want ready cash, money in the bank, a reserve we can call an in emergency. We will get along in years and want an income we can depend on and take it easy. Unless we have arranged for it, the last thing most of us will do on earth is to saddle a debt on someone else's family. Your children are dependent upon you and want an income until they are 18. Is that what you want? My company will take care of you. We have that plan."

A few answers to objections. - When

WedneTday, September 9,".. 19'53 a prospect states, "I have a brother in the insurance 'business." Ask "How much insurance are you going to take from your brother now?" "None." "Then why bring him into the picture?"

When a prospect states, "I haven't decided to buy yet," ask "Is there anything I can clear up?" "No, I think I understand it." "Well, suppose you explain the plan to me," then listen, and very often you will find he doesn't understand it. If he explains it o. k., say, "That fits your picture, doesn't it?"

Then arrange for the doctor.

When people say, "I get tired of paying insurance and I am up to my neck in insurance at this time," here is how to make the check hot so hard to make out. Say, "When your child comes to kiss you goodnight, just hold her at arm's length and make a mental picture of that and keep it in mind every time you send a check." It's how you say it that counts.

• II know of a man who sold over $200,000 in ordinary business with one simple -idea. He watches the , papers and gets the names of the pallbearers at every funeral and goes to see them as soon as possible.

As life underwriters, we have a great responsibility to boys and girls to see that they get an education, to see that their mothers and dads have an income when they need an income most, and to see that mortgages are paid off on homes. Whether young men go to Princeton or prison is up to us. We must have faith in our company, faith in our future, and faith in ourselves.

A man led his entire company and was asked to speak at 'a life underwriters meeting. He made a splendid talk but did not bring out any of his ideas on h6w to sell life insurance. After t;le meeting one of his friends went to him and said, "George, I was disappointed in your talk to a certain extent since yOu are a million-dollar producer and did not give us any ideas on how to sell.

What is the secret of your success?" He replied, "I was afraid that the audience would not understand. The thing that keeps me before the prospect is the fact that I have a little six-year-old girl that thinks her dad is the greatest salesman in the world, and when I come home at night she comes and puts her arms around my neck and says, 'Daddy, did you have a good day today?' and I have a little boy, eight, that thinks the same thing about me, and when I get in front of a prospect I can see my little boy with his hands on his knees looking me in the eye saying, 'talk up to him, Daddy, you are the best salesman with your company; he needs the insurance and

T

TF-..77.AS

we need the commission.' And I can see my little girl jumping -up and clapping her hands and saying, 'Daddy, don't let him cut-talk you—we know you can sell him'," Most of us have little boys and girls, and they think the same about us.

What Life Insurance Is Let me give you my interpretation of what life insurance is--this is what we sell. Most of you are fathers and maybe you have a small son or can remember back when your son was about three years old. He would say to you after your day's work was done and you had had your supper, "Daddy, let's take a walk." You say, "0. K., Son." And you start out, you on one side of the road and your little man on the other. Yes, he is your little man now and in his opinion very brave until the shadows begin to fall. Pretty soon you feel a little hand stealing into yours and you hear a little voice say, "Daddy, I'm scared. Take me up." You reach down and take your son in your arms where he relaxes, feels safe and secure. That's what we sell security for—widows "and children. Some even unborn today will have future security if you as an insurance man do your job well.

Keep in mind to sell first with your heart and then with your head. You will find that while your head may tell you to sell the prospect what may be more to your interest, your heart will lead you to present to your prospect a contract which will benefit his family in a way that you know is right. When you sell with your heart, your motivation for his purchasing' life insurance almost comes to you automatically because you will feel and sense the keen responsibility each has to his own.

THE WEATHER, DISEASE AND PEOPLE

Weather affects one mentally. The best mental work is done in late winter, early spring, and fall; the worst, in summer. It is even said that more crimes are committed throughout ., the world in warm years than in comparatively cool ones. People look better to one another and to themselves on a fair weather day when the barometer is rising.

Weather and climate affect' most diseases. Cancer has its highest death, rate in temperate latitudes, but the death rate declines sharply the closer one goP:-to the tropics. In the authoritative book "Clinical Tuberculosis," Dr. A. M. Forster says that those suffering from TB receive benefit from a stay., in a climate where the air is cold, and adds: "It is too universal an observation to bea..contradiction that patients do better in a mountain climate than they do at the equator."

Rheumatic fever is a severe problem in the stormy belts of the temperate zone; it is virtually unknown in tropical regions. Leprosy flourishes in the tropics, but in northern areas of th3 world it makes no headway. Some doctors believe diabetes is a by-product of a climate that drives its people too hard.

Malaria thrives in tropical land Subtrepical parts of the world. Climates with stimulating seasons impose a sever': strain on the heart. The death rate from appendicitis falls steadily as tbdistance from the tropics increases. Tne cool, stormy areas of the world, usually believed to be the healthiest, actually have the highest incidence om colds, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections. The worst months for colds: January, February and March. Conclusion: Some diseases like it cold; others like it warm. )• 4•( Written history is at least 6.000 years old.

It is intriguing how animals make up a part of our vocabulary. Foxy people can ferret out all the wildcat schemes so they never have to go on wild goose chases. Politicians like to pigeonhole requests that do not please them. When, people are extremely pigheaded and mulish we often think they must be playing possum. Because the hoggish person always wants the lion's share, he usually gets the horse laugh instead, Who has ever seen a hawk-eyed or eagle-eyed marksman miss the bull'seye? A catty person is mean, but he may get cattier during the dog days of July and August. It is often said that some men are hen-pecked by their wives; maybe it is because they act piggishly. A night owl likes to stay up late, perhaps reading all night. No wonder his books may be dog-eared! Did' you ever see professional dancers do the fox trot? or a swimming champion perform the swan dive? Until recent times the mink enjoyed a good name, but be cause of notorious political sofruption the "mink coat" lost its glamor. So anyone buying "mink coats" to bribe officials may wind up with white elephants. And otday, Biblically speaking, people may be sheeplike or goatish. ) • el' John D.

Houston Fraternals Ready for Texas Congress Monday afternoon, August 31, a 23member committee of the various fraternal societies operating in Texas prep ared and adopted plans for the coming session o f the Texas Fraternal Congress to be held in Houston, November 19-21, 1953.

The first draft of the program was prepared by Sister Birdie Hilsher, SPJST; Leo Anders, Sons of Hermann; and Roy Martin, Woodmen of World, all of Houston. The rough draft was completed and appropriate speakers selected.

If no last-minute changes occur, the program will be as follows: The Texas Fraternal Congress will open at Rice Hotel, Houston, on Thursday, November 19. The Youth Section, with its president, C. L. Sinclair, WOW, San Angelo, will hold its session in the morning. It will be followed by the Fraternal Insurance Counselors' and Field Managers' session under the driection of its president Fred Dietrich, Aid Association' of Lutherans, of Houston. The remaining part of the morning will be taken up by the Publicity Section. Leo Anders, Sons of Hermann, of Houston, will preside. A boat ride for the registered• delegates, a trip to San Jacinto Monument, and a barbecue in the evening is scheduled for the first day of the convention.

Friday, November 20, the registration of all dele g ates will be completed. A regular breakfast, called Past Presidents' Breakfast, will be held at 8:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. the 53rd annual session of the Texas Fraternal Congress will open in the Crystal Ballroom in the Rice Hotel. A banquet will be held on November 20, at 7:30 p.m.

Several prominent speakers will speak before the delegates of the 53rd annual session. Editor of the Vestnik is to speak before the Publicity Section Thursday morning. Judge McGee, a member of Pokrok Houston Lodge 88, SPJST, will deliver the main address Friday morning. State Representative Frank Svadlenak, vice president of Supreme Lodge SPJST, will be the main speaker, Friday afternoon. Sister Helen Fusig, of the Youth Club of Lodge . 88, will entertain the delegates with her charming and faultless singing.

The Youth Section will hold its breakfast Saturday morning at 8:00. Congress will reconvene at 9:00 a.m. to hold Memorial services, to accept the reports of various committees, and to elect officers for the ensuing year.

Two main attractions of the convention will be the adult program on Thursday night at the halls of Sons of Hermann, 120 Yale; and the Youth pro gram, Friday night at the banquet.

The right to get together with out neighbors in griping to the Government about something, and, on the other hand, the right to defend that Government when someone makes a move against it.

Freedom means the right to the privacy of our homes; without the Government quartering soldiers in it; without the police ransacking it just on the chance we're guilty of something.

Freedom means we's got a. right to know immediately what we're charged with in case of arrest. It means the Government can't just grab a guy, put him in jail and forget all about him.

He's got a right to be tried; to have his side get a fair hearing. It means that he doesn't have to testify against himself, that he can call witnesses to testify for him and meet those who testify against him face-to-face.

Freedom means the right to trial by jury. It means that punishment has to be fair and fitting.

Freedom means all these things and lots of others too. Freedom is our American heritage.

Freedom: Sure, it's nothing new. Everybody knows what it is. Anybody can give the answer. But sometimes we get all wrapped up in other things and almost forget it. Seems like we get to where we can't see the independence for the firecrackers.

Sometimes it's good to have someone say, "Freedom, so what?" It makes us remember that we have to fight for it every day. --Veterans' Americanism. ) • 4•< SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO EARN One of the ablest managers in the nation is Chairman Clarence Francis of General Foods. He holds that employee attitudes are a vital factor in industrial peace. It is also his opinion that employee attitudes, over the long run, are cdnditioned by management attitudes toward employees. The employer who says, "Loyalty goes with the pay enve-, lope," doesn't know human nature. Mr. Francis says: "You can buy a man's time.

"You can buy a man's physical presence in a given place.

"You can even buy a measured number of skilled 'muscular motions per hour or day.

"But you cannot buy enthusiasm— you. cannot buy initiative, you cannot buy loyalty, you cannot buy the devotions of hearts, minds, and souls. You have to earn those things."

FROM PRISON TO UNIVERSITY Should you walk into the general offices of the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company, located in the Commerce Building here in Houston, and should you be greeted by a poised, efficient receptionist, you would never dream that the girl was the heroine of a desperate flight to freedom from both Germans and Russians in Czechoslovakia.

How could you? The sign on the girl's desk says only that you are talking to Mrs. Wiegel.

Young Mrs. Wiegel, better known to the firm's office force in Houston by the short name Inge (for Ingeborg), was born twenty-six years ago near Brno, the capital of Moravia, in Czechoslovakia. Her parents had a hotel and restaurant. She was only a child.

Her childhood was happy, although war clouds were gathering. Even in 1938 or 1939, when the Germans invaded the Sudetenland and then Czechoslovakia, most of the people were glad no shooting war was involved.

"Later, I think they wished they had fought," she said. "I continued in preparatory school, called gymnasium, until 1944. We were on strict rationing, but the real meaning of war had not reached us. We thought, 'War is something which happens in Russia, or in France, but not here.' We were to learn better.

"In 1944, our class of about 24 graduated and the school was closed. The Germans were losing in Russia and we were all drafted into a labor camp to help the farmers. We were taken 100 miles or so •into Austria, quartered in barracks alongside a barracks of Russian prisoners, and put to work in the fields along with the prisoners doing the heaviest and hardest kind of work."

Inge and the othe-rs got up at 5:30 a.m., took icy showers in winter, ate poor food. Her hands became raw and bred, doing the unaccustomed hard manual labor without gloves. Fuel and blankets. were short, and she fell seriously ill with what probably was pneumop ia.

Things seemed about as bad as they could be. But in March, 1944, Inge,' somewhat recovered from her illness, found they could get worse.

She and the others were transferred to an ammunition factory near the Hungarian border. There behind a prison-type fence were thousands of people of all nationalities, many of them Russian prisoners.

windows continually, they inquired and were told it was the artillery of the approaching Russians. Nearby oil fields were being bombed, and fires from blazing tanks were so bright a newspaper could be read in the camp at night.

"A German major called us together and said in a speech that this was an outpost with no escape possible," she said. "He said we had to fight the Russians, and would be issued weapons".

Frantic with fear, Inge nevertheless kept her head and resolved to escape.

In the office of a girl leader, who was crying over news that the Russians had broken through, had taken Budapest and Vienna, Inge managed to steal a handful of "permission slips," leftovers from earlier days when privileged'workers were allowed short leaves from the camp.

That night, Inge tried the fence route of escape, but found it ringed with soldiers and impossible. Worse frightened than before, she returned to her barracks and waited out the long night.

She recalls a confused, hysterical scene, "like on a sinking ship." She overheard a soldier tell a girl he had a daughter her age, would protect her to the end but save one bullet for her and one for himself.

Amid the scenes of panic and despair, a movie comedy was playing at the camp theater. Inge did not attend the showing.

At 6 a.m.; she went to the camp main gate, having filled out the pass. Her heart sank when the guard told her no pass had been good for the past two weeks, rose when she noted his Czech bccetrit.

"I want to go home to my mother," she pleaded in a low tone, so a soldier pacing up and down at the gate couldn't hear.

"Go, then, but slowly," the guard finally said.

She walked out and down the road, expecting a challenge or perhaps a bullet, but none came. She reached a ditch, jumped into it and ran for her life.

She hid at a railway station until a train, covered with . refugees and partly afire from bombing, came by. Hanging on to some steps, she got within two and one-half holrs' walk from home, went the remainder on foot. Her tracted parents, nearly out of their minds with worry, greeted her with joy.'

rattle. The German Army was dissolving; a convoy of trucks stopped near Inge's home while one was repaired, and Inge, her mother and grandmother were in the truck when it left. They waved tearful goodbyes to Inge's father who refused to leave. Three or four hours later the first Russian tanks arrived.

"The first Russians at Brno were pretty decent, but afterward it was another story, we heard," Inge said. "My family gives thanks we women didn't stay."

So began a 280-mile odyssey which consumed more than six weeks, and involved travel by the original truck, by what may have been the original "wayward bus," and by train. When they left the truck, the women joined a group aboard a Budapest city bus. The driver had varied his regular Budapest route slightly by taking off across the country with a trailer and a load of refugees.

The Russians almost caught up with the bus after it came down a hill too fast, the trailer failed to make a curve leading to a bridge across a lake, and both vehicles overturned into the water and mud. The passengers had to crawl down and burrow out through mud and water to escape. Two days passed, while the passengers camped in a deer feeder's but in nearby woods, before a German tank pulled the bus ,back on the road.

On they went. The trio changed to a train, managed to buy one seat. They lived on the train three weeks. Nights, when the train was stopped—it seemed always to be stopped—one of the three slept in the seat, the second stood in the car, and the third wandered around outside Where the passengers tried to cook. By day, the train was bombed.

Inge and family had many narrow escapes; once a bomb killed some 15 persons at a spot the trio had left a few minutes before. ,

"We reached one town and stayed eight days," Inge recalls. "Ten trains were halted there, with thousands ofpeople, all trying to cook. The conditions were terrible. Finally the women revolted. Hundreds of them surrounded the Nazi in charge, pushed against him until he couldn't move, threatened his life if he didn't order the trains to But at Brno, the war pattern began move. to recur.

The women • paid for their transportation with all their ,rings and valuables.': They carried a big ham most of the . trip. Inge, reading in the Houston newspaper comics about the Dogpatch ham, always thinks of the one they had.

At Bendorf, near Salsburg, Austria, the train' stopped : and couldn't be moved. The :fugitives now came under new danger; the U. S. Army was approaching, its planes ranging ahead.

One day„ American planes buzzed and machine-gunned a row of resort tourist cottages a Hendorf official had opened to the refugees, but the three women were unhurt.

Four days later,: on May 5, 1945, the U. S. Army arrived.

"They looked gcod to us,'' Inge said.

"The atmosphere relaxed. It couldn't help it, with the GI's, happy over the war's end, riding around in. jeeps, bowing, whistling, laughing and throwing candy -right an_d left."

Danger was past. The rest, the happy part, is not so exciting. Inge, who speaks three languages and understands a fourth, got a job as an interpreter with the Americans. She met Robert E. Wiegel, - a GI from Houston, and they became engaged.

Plucky Inge refused to marry him then. To be sure he "wasn't just lonesome," she sent him home to his family in Houston. But he didn't stay home very long. He was the first American who went back to Europe after the war.

He went, directly to Herndorf, in Austria, to prove to Inge that he wasn't foolina.

Czechoslovakia, and the older immigrants, such as the families of Wiegels living around Industry, Texas, where the first Czech immigrants had mdae their modest homes a hundred years ago.

They were married in the commanding general's office, whose regime was so strict his permission was necessary before Wiegel could get a pair of pants pressed. Then the newlyweds sailed for America and came to Houston in 1946.

Together they entered the University of Texas in Austin. Mrs. Wiegel gradElated with honors in 1950, then taught German a year and at the same time worked on her Master's Degree.. A tremendously long stretch of time, full six years from the day she was graduated from the preparatory school in Brno, Czechoslovakia, through the Nazi prison camp, through the U. S. Army in Austria, to the long line of graduates at the University of Texas.

'Young Wiegels have visited Europe twice since. Mrs. Wiegels father fled Brno in 1946 when the Communists clamped down, was smuggled through Russian lines in a box on a truck, went also to Herndorf, and got a job with the U. S. Army like his daughter did before .him. Probably he does a better

We go all out for education. We want everybody to know everything, which is swell, up to the individual's capacity.

In the process we spoil useful ditch diggers with unusable knowledge. We are breeding too many chiefs—not enough Indians.

SURE, LET THEM VOTE

(By Frank Tripp) Should an American vote at 18?

Wouldn't it be nice if the question could qualify—"what American?" But that wouldn't be American. We are a packaged Nation that must accept the hulls with the kernels—and age hasn't a lot to do with it.

Invariably those who discuss this moot question hinge their opinion on their own lives. They review their years from 18 to 21, and recall countless deeds and responsibilities of those 3 years that transcend the responsibility of the ballot.

Plenty of them were supporting themselves those years; many were supporting or helping to support their parents; many working their way through school.

Yet there also were many who were as irresponsible as babes, and continued thus throughout their lives, still cast their ballot because they had passed 21.

"The years of discretion" are what?

A moron can vote; a Joel Kopperman can't. A native born illiterate can vote; a naturalized citizen must know his let',ers, not merely be exposed to instrucion.

Wednetday, F.!epteinbet §, 1 slow and backward then.

We have seen the opportunity for education and means of communicating knowledge increase four-fold in two generations. We have seen youngsters leaving college who once would still have been in grade school. Back of me in grammar school sat a voter; only 60 years ago. It was a precocious kid who finished high school earlier than 18.

So it was assumed by our forefathers that by the time a lad was 21 he would have enough schooling to know what it was all about. Today he has had far more instruction at age 16: at least had the opportunity.

Probably it would rouse a hue and cry if a native-torn American should be required to give evidence that he had exposed himself to economic instruction before he could vote; that he had attended school.

The alien must give proof that he has absorbed such instruction. This couldn't be required of the native, else we'd risk class control of the electorate. But couldn't we require evidence of exposure, and where absent create classes to provide it, as we do with aliens?

We can't make the horse drink, but we can lead him to water—and why shouldn't we? Shouldn't a native be exposed to as much knowledge of his country as is the alien?

Some sort of knowledge of the tenets of a church or a fraternity, the requirements of job, fitness to marry, drive a car, and what not, is demanded. The power to create these restrictions, the vote, is automatically extended, without question, to anybody reaching 21; but denied far better qualified voters at 18.

What does age matter if judgment exists? And who is stubborn enough to contend that public knowledge of affairs today isn't an easy 3 years ahead of 1776?

Both sexes may marry, have a family, and pay taxes before they can vote.

Males can be drafted, shot at, even killed; be yanked away from home and opportunity, their whole future altered, maybe ruined.

But they can't have a voice in the Government which rules their lives until they're 21.

Yet we put only age on the price tag of the most precious and vital privilege an American can acquire—his citizenship. At 21 he's a voter just as automatically as at 80 he's -an octogenarian.

(Pokraeovani.)

Kniteci park byl katdomu pfistupen, nebyl take daleko od Stareho belidla vzddlen, ale babieka s detmi zfidka kdy tarn ve gla, tvla gte kdyt, tarn vrchnost byla. Obdivovala se sice vkusnemu sporddani v geho, pPekrasnym kvetinam, warnemu stromovi, vodotryskfun i zlatYm rybiekam v rybniku: pFece ale Ala radeji s detmi na louku neb do lesa. Tarn se mohly smele povalovat po mekkem zelenem koberci, tam mohly si pFivonet ke katdemu kvitku, treba i natrhat si jich na kytice a vence. V poli nerostly site pomeranee ani citrony, ale sem tam stela ko gatd tre gne ptdonice aneb plane hru gka; ovoce bylo na nich obsypano a mohl si . katdy naeesat do y ule. V lese zase bylo jahod, bordvek, hub a mandlovYch ofi gkfi dost a dost. Vodatryskfi tadnYch nebylo, ale rada zastavila se babieka s detmi u spla.vu. Diva.ly se, jak viny po splavu prudce dolt), .stekaji, vzhdru se vyhoupnuvge v ruiliony kapek rozstriskany nazpet padaji, je gte jednou v penivem kotlu se prevaii a tepr y spojene v proud jednorn ti ge dale plynou.

Nad splavem nebyly tadne zlate ryby, natieene na temlove drobty; ale jak gla babieka okolo, sahla do kapsate, vyprazdnila Adelce do zasterky chlebove drobeeky, a jak je deti hodily do vody,

mniky bylo videti.

Na louce potkavala se babieka s lidmi, kteii hned pozdravovali: "Pochvalen bud' Jeti g Kristus!" aneb: "Dej Pandobry den!" Kteti se zastavili, zeptali se: "Kam pak, babieko? Jak se mate? Co delaji va gi?" a hned od nich se neeeho dovedela.

Ale v zamku? Tam nebylo tadneho Fizeni! Tu betel prernovany slotici, tu komorna v hedbavi, tu pan a zase pan, a katclY nesl hlavu vY ge net mu narostla a vy glapoval si jako ti pavi, co jedine prave, meli na travniku se prochazet.

Jestli nekterY z nich babieku pozdravil, Pekl jen tak zbetne: "Guten Morgen!" nebo: "Bon jour!" a babieka se zaeerveNei: "At na yenala a nevedela, ky!" nebo: "Deft to PanbUh!" Vtdy tikavala donna : "Tam v torn zamku je pravY Babylon!"

Pied zamkem sedeli dva premovani sloutici, s katde strany dveri jeden; ten v levo mel slotene ruce na kline a chytal lelky, ten v pravo mel slotene ruce pies prsa a zevloval Panubohn do oken.

Kdyt pan Pro gek k nim do gel, pozdravili ho po nemecku, katdY jinYm prizyukem.

Predsiri byla vylotena bilYml mramorovYmi dlatdicemi, uprostred stal ykusne pracovanY kuleenik. Okolo zdi staly na zelenomramorovYch podstavcich bile sochy sadrove, pFedstavujici mythologicke osoby. etver o dveri vedlo do panskYch pokojti. U jednech sedel v, leno gce komcrnik v eernem fraku a spal. Do to sine vedl pan Pro gek babiekti s detmi. Komornik sly ge gust, trhl sebou; vida ale pana Pro gka, pozdravil a ptal se, jaka zaletitost pana do zamku pfivadi.

"Pani knetna pPala si, aby ji tehyne moje s detmi dnes nav gtivila. Prosim, pane Leupolde, ohlaste je," pravil pan ProSek. Pan Leupold vyhrnul oboei, pokreil ramenoma, rka: "Nevim, bude-li je chtit prijmouti; je y e svem kabinetu a pracuje. Mohu je al' ohlasit."

Vstal a volnYm krokem ve gel do dyeti, u, nicht byl seal. Za chvilku vratil se, a nechav dvefe otevrene pokynul milostivou tvari, aby vegli.

Pan Prctek g el zpet, a babieka s detmi vstoupiia do skvostneho salonu. V detach tajil se dech, a notky klouzaly jim na podlaze hladke jako led. Babiaka byla jako u videni; rozrnY glela se, ma-li na ty protkavane koberce glapnouti. "Je toho veend Akeda!" povidala si. Net co delat — lezely v g ude a pan kornornik take p0 nich chodil.

Ve stPedu, dne 9. zari 1953.

MLADiK, KTERt STALE CHVATAL Billy Rose To byl zase yeera den! Telefony drneely, v divadle byla generalka, lide si nestaeili podavat v kancelati dvere. Zkratka rugno jako v cirkuse.

Mezi navgtevami byl i vojak, kterV se nedayno vratil z Pacifiku. Jako tisice jinVch chlapcu, chtel dostat nejakou praci u divadla. Rekl, jsem, 2e mu darn vedet, jestliZe ho budu moci potrebovat a omluvil jsem se, Ze rozhovor byl tak kratkV, protole me dekala je gte velika spousta prate.

Nejak podivne se na mne podival, pousmal se a gel ke dverim.

"Cemu se gklebite?" ptal jsem se ho.

"Ale nic," povidal, "jen jsem si zrovna vzpomnel na jineho elo yeka, kterST taky porad pospichal."

Zptisob jakSrm to 'Oki, pobidl mou zve davost. * "Nebyl to ZadnSr vSrznamnS7 elovek, zaCal vojak. "On a jeho otec obdelavali makousek pudy.

"Jednou rano naloZili vuz, zaprobli vola a vyrazili. Mladik gel podle tahouna a neustale ho pobizel bieem."

"Nechvatej," rikal otec. "Bude g dele Ziv." "Dorazime-li na trh drive ne2 druzi, odpovedel mu na to syn, "moZna, 2e prodame za lepgi ceny."

Starec si pritah lklobouk pies °el a zaCal na sedatku spat. 0 etyri mile dal a o etyri hodiny pozdeji :d0razili po silnici k malernu domku. "Tady Zije strSreek," povidal starSr, kterSr se probudil. "Zastavme se a pojd'me ho pozdravit."

"ITZ jsme prolajdali hodinu, stnoval si uchvatami mladik.

"Pak tedy u2 na par minutach tolik nesejde," rekl mu otec.

Zatim co oba stuci hodinu klabosili, mladik sebou neposedne vrtel.

KdyZ se zase vydali na cestu, vzal si vola na starost otec. Blain se pomalu k silnicni kriZovatce. Tam otec zavedl vola napravo. "Cesta, nalevo je kratgi!" upozorrioval syn. tahle "Ja, vim," odpovedel starec, cesta je hezoi."

"CoZ ti na Case vilbec nezaleZ1?" tazal se uchvatanSr mladik.

"Velmi mi na nem za.leM," vysvetloval stars'. "Proto jej hledim vyn'Zivat tak, abych videl co nejvic hezkch veci."

Cesta vpravo vedla lesem, kde rostly divoke kvetiny. Mladik byl tak zamest-

"Tohle je naposled, co jsem s tebou jel," odsekl mu syn. "Zajima;S se mnohem vic o divoke kvetihy ne2 o penize!"

"Tohle je nejhezel veta, jakou's rekl za dlouhST oas," smal se stars' brach. A za minutu uz spal.

Kratce neZ vy glo slunce, mladik otcem zattepal, aby ho probudil. Zaptabli a vyrazili dalg i cestu. Po mili a hodine dojell k sedlakovi, kterST se marne namahal yytahnout povoZ z hlubokeho vS7molu na silnici. "Pojd'me mu trochu zatlaeit," navrhoval otec.
