VtSTNfX — WEST, -TEXAS

Z prt.mai prvnich ef eskSich osadnikii v Texas (Pokraeovani) Valka trvala etyki roky a brzo po ukoneeni valky, statieci se stehovali na jirrY rent, na jih od Frelsburgu. Ted' byli jako na novem svete. Poblize jejich obydli sla hluend cesta do Columbus a 'nester Frelsburg bylo jen asi etvrt mile od nich na sever. Obydli ua meli tea neco lepAi. Meli i podlahu ye svetnici a studni meli pobliae domu, coa byla tenkrdte velka vYhoda pro rentYke, nebot' rentYti museli po vetSine nosit neb vozit vodu pro svou pottebu od hospodate neb farmera, a to bylo nekdy i dosti daleko. Statieek tenkrate mei deset bald baviny, kterou po eas valky neprodal, a ted' mezi lidem zaealy proskakovat vSelike teei, ae as vojael prijae se- budou mstit tem, co se nechteli dobrovolne pridat k vojsku a budou jim bavinu pant. Tedy statieek poslal dva baly do Columbus prodat a dostal hned po valce 10c za libru. Ale za nejakY gas, kdya se pomery trochu ustalily, v kratkenL ease byla ba y-Ina 25c libra. Statieek pak prodal tech ostatnich 8 bah' a to ua jim bylo lope.

Za bavinu tenkrate dostali same zlate penize, ktere museli mit doma usehovane, neb banky nebyly. Za tin roky po valee, v roku 1868, statieek jiz mel pohrornade vice nea tisic dolarri. Tedy se rozhodnul, ze nekde zakoupi nejakY pozemek, aby hospodaiili na svem, nebo to bylo nej ytelejSirn pranim vSech pionYra, vlastnit svdj domov. Od znarnYch se al/6UL ze asi 50 mil na jihozapad v 0-sacle Mulberry (nynejSi Praha), jsou prodej lacing pozemky.

Na2S statieek Jan Zapalae a jeho dobrY pritel a soused nemecke narodnosti, Henry Greive, se vypravili a jell se na ty pozemky podivat. Jell na. konich a nevratili se as na etvrtY den . se zpravou, 'ae zakoupili kaadY 300 akrti pozemku, asi tii mile na jih od Mulberry, za tti dolary akr. Koupili to od Amerikana Norman Woods, kterY tam vlastnil asi dva tisice akru, totia otrokalskou planta Po zru'Seni otroctvi musel otroky propustit a pole nechat le'aet ladem.

Na podzim roku 1868 se stehovali. Svilj majetek naloalli na dva vozy, z nicha jeden byl staff:oka y , do ktereho zaptahnul svoje spfeaeni, neb jak se tenkrate kikalo joch void, a s druhYm vozem jim pomahal soused. Syn Jan, kterY byl ua 14 let star, jel na koni a hnal hovezi dobytek, asi 6 hlay. Cesta jim pomalu ubihala, neb voli Sli pomalu, jak ani jinak s nakladem nemohli, a tak za den ujeli sotva 15 mil. Jelo se vetSinou rovne ptes prerie , a kde je stihnul weer, tam se utabotili pits noc. Voli se pies noc napasli a rano jell dale.

(Pik F. J. Fojtik z Flatonie) Druheho dne dojeli do La Grange, kde museli pies teku Colorado, kde tehdy 0vdem jests nebyl most, jenom ferry neb ptevozni vor na provazech a sktipeich.

Vjeli na to s vozem a pak je pfetahli na druhou stranu. Mite ale bylo s dobytkern, ktery se WI na ferru jit. Dva kusy jim skoeily do teky a vratily se nazpatek do Frelsburgu.

Druhou noc tabotili pti Bluffu, nynejSi Hostyn. Rano, kdyz se udelal den, videli ae jim vali odeSli a nemohli je najit, tedy soused ktery je pomahal stehovat a mel ye vozu muli, vzal statenku a osmiletou Annu na svdj vizz a jell dale. Statieek a mladY Jan zustali tam hledat voly. Jia se chYlilo k vederu, kdya jell pies Mulberry, nynejSi Prahu, kde tehdy staveli novY kostel. To byl ua druhY a staveli jej z desek. Ten prvni byl z klad (logs), a jak druhY byl hotov, tak ten prvni byl pak upotrebovan na.faru.

Na 'neer koneene dojeli na misto a sice tam, kde ted' pfebYva pan Michal Okruhlik. Statieek a syn Jan tu noc preby11 na High Hillu, kam Ira pozde veeer dojeli, neb jim to vzalo hodne dlouho nea zatoulane voly na,S11. Pan Henry Greive i s rodinou se ptistehoval za nimi asi za tyden..

Na tom pozemku, kterY meli zakoupenY, byly dva obydelni domky, ovSem sru}Jove, ustavene z otesanYch i neotesanYch klad. Statieek i Greive zakoupili pudu, ktera, jeSte nebyla obdelana a nebylo na torn addne ohrady ani plot, jen les a po kousku prerie. Tedy ten prvni rok bydleli na torn samem mists, v jednom dvote, obYvajice kaada rodina jeden ten domek.

Ted' nastala prate se zakizovanim.

Nejcltive museli v lese - delat sloupky a Atipat rygle, aby sobe mohli aspori kouske pole ohradit, ktere se v zirne zbrechovalo. Tea museli v lese nasekat a otesat kiady na nova staveni. Co tu bylo starosti, prate a potu nea prvni firodu jak tak zaseli a pak obdelavani v tech hroudach tea nebylo lehke. Kdya Ira meli vSechno obdelano a pole se zelenalo, tu 15. kvetna piisly kroupy a znielly skorem vSechno. Baxlny ten pr y -nirokudela1b kornyasi10buMezitim na jate a v lets staveli sobe obydli, ovSern z klad ptes zimu nasekanYch, neb jinak jim nebylo moano, pouze desky na podlahu, tramy a Sindel si dovezli od Plumu, ,kde byl cedrovY les a pila. Pfivezli to na vozich volskYm. potahem. Postavili si jednu velkou svetnici, stony z klad neb logsti, se tterni okny a dvema dvetmi. Podlaha, tramy na

strops a Sindel, to ve'e bylo z cedroveho dteva. DruhYm rokem k tomu ptistavell kuchyni s korninem z kamene a stony z cedrovYch desek a na jinni strane galerii, podlahu vyloaenou ploskYmi kameny misto desek. Sousede a znami, kdya pak piisli na besedu tikali: "Jo, jo, ten Zapalaa to wz je pan, kdya sobe postavil takovy, burg!" Ta svetnice jests podnes stoji a slonai za obydleni staveni. OvSem ty logse jsou schovane zvenei i zevnitt deskovou stenou a yypada to jako svetnice.

Tenkrate ba byly po vetSine jests pustiny, obzvladt' na jih od jejich farmy, kde byly same prerie, neb ikaadY hledel se usadit poblia,e lesa, neb museli 44. lese sekat a osekavat klady na staven a delat sloupky a x-ygle na ohraaeni pole.

Nebylo jests dratu jako ted' a kdo cht61 ohradit, musil mit rygle.

Stada dobytka a ovei se pasla volne na pterii a v lese zase houfy prasat, neb ti Ameridane po zruSeni otroctvi nechali pole leaet ladem a zabYvali se chovem dobytka, ktereho men velka stada. Kdya nekclo nernel kravu na tu mohl jiti a vybrat jakou kravu chtel, s malym teletem, dohnat ji dome, okrotit a draet si ji na dojeni. Vlastnik kravy pak se podivat a poznamenal tele sv-Ym znakern a tekl, at' sobe drai kravu na dojeni, jen' aby teleti nechdval Bost mlOka, aby bylo pekne.

Ovce se pasly nekdy nekolik set kusti v jednom stade. Oasto v noci ovce se pasly, nedaleko staveni a rano na gli nekde v. klovi jehriatko ztracene, tedy je domu a vychovali, nebot' m a druhou noc by byli vici jiste jehriatko rortrhali.

Pole musila bYt dobte ohradena a to rygle musely bYt kladeny as od zeme, neb musela bYt pole ehranena jak od dobytka tak tea od prasat. Nejhute bylo, kdya se nejakYm zpilsObein chytla trava pobliae rygloveho plotuf tu bylo vady nebezpeei, ae i plot shoti a bylo co delat plot uchranit, neb tenkrate byla na tech preriich husta a vysoka trava s KaadY hledel, aby mel v zasobe nejake ty rygle naStipane a kdo addne nemel, tu musel od souseda prijeit, aneb nechat jinn prate a honem do lesa a Stipat rygle, aby mohl co nejdtive nahradit shoITU. plot novYm a uchranit 'svoji firodu na poll.

Sdrudeni se nazYva "Kruh ptatel eeskoslovenske knihy". Dosud sdrudeni vydalo etyti knihy: Babieka od Bodeny Nemec)* Zapadli vlastenci od Raise; Hovory s Janern Masarykem od Fischla; a Filosofska historie od Jiraska. Clenem Kruhu ptatel mute se stati kaddY, kdo se ptihlasi. Morino se pHttebas jen poatovnim listkem.

Jako ukazku vyjimam a zkracuji jednu kapitolu z knihy Hovory s Janem Masa,rykem. Kapitola, ma nazev "0 humanismu". NekterY z naAich etenatu ma jen mlhavou ptedstavu, co humanismus znamend. Kdyd ale tekneme, ze je to kapitola o lidskosti, o lidumilnosti, i lidskych vlastnostech, tu kaddY etenat porozumi.

A porozumi take slo yfina Jana Masarykla, kterY mluvi jako by ptiSel na besedu a usednul mezi dobre zname, kde se mnohe slovo pronese dosti drsne, nekdy nesalonne, ale jadrne. Pteetete si firyvek, a jestli se yam zalibi, dopiSle na tajemnika Kruhu pratel, jehoz adresa je: A. L. Nehasil, 5003 West Cerrnek Road, Cicero 50, Illinois. On vain poSle dalsi informace. -Redaktor.

Vzpominam si, kdyd jsem odchazel z prvni navSlevy v londYnskem byte Jana Masaryka, zastavil jsem se v ptedsini, abych si prohledl kresbu meho zamilovaneho malite Mikula ge ANe, ktera tu visela na zdi yedle vchodu do Masarykovy pracovny. Masaryk stal chvili ti ge za mnou, pak mne vzal za ruku a odvecil mne k protejSi sten& Tam visel obraz neclasno zesnuleho polskeho didovskeho malite Szyka. Byl na nem malt chlapec v polskem narodnim kroji, kterY seal na lavici s malYm didovskYch chlapcem z ghetta, drdeli se kolem krku a zdalo se, de jsou ponoteni v dfivernY bratrskY rozhovor. "Tohie jsem si koupil veera," tekl Masaryk. "Ja vim, 2e to neni dadnY Rembrandt, ale mne se libila to idea. Vite, za tohle ja vlastne bojuju."

Oast() jsem si pozdeji vzpomnel na tuto malou episodu, nutnost lasky mezi lidmi.

"Kdyby se tak lidi melt jen trochu vic radi," tekl mi Masaryk vic ned jednou.

"Kdyby si jen vddycky yeas uvedomili, de ten druhY mel taky marnu, de ho boli kuii zrovna tak jako me a de ma stejnY strach, kdyd mu stone decko. Kdyby si kaddY chtel uvedomit vddycky, Fe ten druhY je taky elovek, Fe jsme vabec vAichni lidi a ne obludy, tak by moh' na svete bYt raj. Jende lidi prave nejsou lidi, to je ono."

zli. Kdepalc zvi •ata! NejvYA drivel. On by Ica. Hlavni vec je, aby se nesesul btelt

kaFcleho druheho nejradeji utopil na ldici vody. Ja se yam nekdy zrovna stydim, de jsem se narodil jako elovek. Obraz bodi!

Dejte pokoj! Opice! Opice jsme a nic jineho. Opice, co Splhaji potad YYS" a vY'S a darleji, aby nekterY Simpanc nevylez' na vySSi strom, na kterem je o kokos vic. arlive, nefoukane, jeaitne, netaktni, neclastojne, bezohledne opice. To jsme."

Ono, kainarade, ja poznal v divote moc a mac lidi. Vette mne, ja jsem nekdy zoufa,1Y. Mne se chce vddycky kleknout na kolena a zpivat aleluja, kdyd se sejdu s elovekem, kterY si nemysli, de se svet toei kolem jeho pupku. KaddY si mysli, de ledi jenom na nem. Tuhle jsem si zaSel na Pettin do hvezdarny. Maji tam peknY dalekohled, skoro nejvetAi v Evrope. Ale poiad je, mne se zda, moc malt', ned abyste s nim obj evil skromneho, pokorneho eloveka, kterY mysli vic na druhe ned na sebe. Ostatne, trochu astranomie by melo rnyslim laYt pro kaddeho povinne. Ono je moc dobfe vedet, jak' praaek elovek vlastne je. Jd si myslim, de trpelivost je jedna z mYch male dobrYch vlastnosti.

Ale vette mile, de to je nekdy moc tdke.

Nejsltanerai, nejciastojnejS1 lidi jsou ti mali. Ti jedini si nemysli, de Galilei byl blazen a de se svet ye skuteenosti toei kolem nich."

"Lidi nejsou gt'astnY:, protode nejsou dobrY. Kdyby mysleli vic na druhe a min na sebe, a hlavne kdyby v divote udelali vic pro druhe ned pro sebe, tak by byli mnohem gt'astriejSi. ja, kdyd jsem pomohl zachranit /Make to didovske decko, nebo kdyd jsem dal praci nekomu, kdo si to zasloudi, tak vddycky citim, de jsem nejak lepSi elovek. Den, kdyd muFri neco takovehle udelat, neni ztracenY. ja, vim, ono se mi lehko rnluvi. Ja, se umel narodit, mel jsem velikeho tatu, kterY mi dopomohl k dobremu mistu a pak ud jsem se shodou okolnosti dostal ad tam, kde jsem ted'. Ja nemel vlastne nikdy tedkosti. Pozor! Ja, nechtel nikdy b't ministrem. 36, mel jine ambice. Jd chtel hrat klavir. No ale stab se.

Muj otec tekl a napsal moc hezkYch veci o humanismu. On celY divot nemyslel na nic jineho a vSecko, co udelal, vyrostlo z tehle filosofie. Jd toho za celY divot nepteeet' a nepteetu ani zlomek z toho, co on spolykal za rok. Ale tohle mi je jasne i bez velikeho Studia: 61oveee, mysli trochu na druhe. Nemysli si, de jenom ty jsi dilleditY. Na kaddem zdledi zrovna tolik jako na tobe. On ma totid kaddY zrovna tak nesmrtelnou du'ai jako ty. Jse zrovna takove zrnielco pisku jako ten druhY a s odpouStenim houby zaledi "To mate tak. JA se nekdy ptam, proo na tom, jestli se bude na slunci lesknout jsou lidi takova zvitata. Lidi jsou hrozne trochu vic nebo min ned ty druhY zrnie-

Talc nemysli tolik na sebe a mai drd a podpirej ty druhY zrnka pisku.

Takhle ja rozumim humanismu."

V mYch poznamkach o rozhovorech s Janem Masarykem neni zaznamemin defai rozhovor na namet humanismu. Alt, vracel se k tomuto thematu ziaovu a znovu v kratkYch poznamkach z rfiznYch hledisek a z mySlenek, ktere pti raznYch ptilditostech vyslovil, lze sestavit tento obraz: "Humanismus, kamarede, zaeina ye familli, Protode on humanismus neni jineho ned chtit po lidech, aby se meli radi. Jinak to neni mandelstvi. Chlap, kterY ma denu jenom na to, 4y mu piala podvlikaoky, Slupovala fusekle, vafila snidain a ptipadne rodila (lecke, je nebezpeenY elovek. Ja vam dam radu.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER, tho third largest Czech fraternal society in the United States, and also the third largest fraternal organization in t h e state of Texas, held an open house on Saturday, November 14, 1953, and on Sunday, November 15, 1953, thus commemorating the formal opening of its new headquarters in the former Profesional Building in Temple, Texas.

THE PROGRAM BEGAN AT 3 O'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, November 14. It ran through the afterneon and the evening on Saturday, and continued on the following day, on Sunday, afternoon at the hall of Texas Star Lodge No. 47, a few miles east of Temple.

The entire program was planned very efficiently. It was a splendid piece of work, Full credit for the program on Saturday afternoon and evening goes to the officers at headquarters. The Sunday program was in capable hands of the officers and members of Lodge No. 47 at Seaton.

THE FULL COVERAGE OF THE grand opening cannot be given here at this time. Your editor arrived in Temple late Saturday evening. He was attending the advance course for organizers held at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, and consequently he missed the entire program on Saturday. As soon as he gets the details of the epening program_ on Saturday, he will give you a supplementary report.

STUDENTS OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY When Judge William Sears McGee addressed the Texas Fraternal Congress in Houston last week, he mentioned that he had read in the Vestnik about five of our organizers that went to Purdue University to attend the course of the Life Insurance Marketing Institute held November 2-6. Your editor asked the graduates of the primary course to tell the SPJST members what they gained by attending the Fraternal Basic Institute. Their opinions are given as follows: In this issue of Vestnik you will find a picture of the five of us who attended the Fraternal Basic Institute, November 2-6, 1953, at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. I am sure, that you will have letters from the other four, giving you, in brief, what they experienced and w hat they get from the Basic Course, and how they benefited by taking the course. For myself, I say, that never did I think so much could be had from a one week's course. The studies and lectures that were given were so compiled and presented to the class in such order that anyone who attended the course understood the purpose.

During the course, the basic, the purpose and the working of life insurance was explained, outlined and proven.

The many factors that come into the selling of life insurance were explained.: The classification of life insurance and the application of each, as they may apply to certain individuals of varied incomes and responsibilities, were fully explained and charted in this course, as well as many other important factors that must be taken into consideration when life insurance is being discussed.

It will be my request of the others that were with me during the course, that they present their views to the other solicitors in our solicitor's meetings that will be held during the coming year. I am sure that they will do this for having had life insurance explained as they had in the course, they will be able to point out some very interesting facts, in the application and in selling life insurance.

I hope that the next year we will have another group o our solicitors in the Basic Course at Purdue. Those of us who attehded the course are intending to take the advanced course and further our purposes in the selling of life insurance. We are in Fraternal Life Insurance for the benefit of all who may be members and we must prepare to give the best that Fraternal Life Insurance has to offer. As stated a-

bove, I hope that we have another group going to the Basic Course in 1954.

Fraternally yours, Edward L. Marek • • At the request of the editor, I want to write a few lines about our trip to Purdue University, to take a one - week course in Life Insurance.

There were five of us that made the trip, Brothers President Marek, Albert Mikeska, both from Temple, Arnold Vrla from Dallas, A. J. Bristik and myself, from Houston. We started from Temple on October 31 and arrived at Purdue the following day at 5 p. m. in. the SPJST car, a distance of 1107 miles. Imediately upon our arrival, we went to the class room for instructions in regard to the course we were about to take. On Monday -we assembled in the class room again and there we had three well qualified instructors to conduct the lectures on how to sell Life Insurance and its benefits.

We had very instructive' lectures. Even though I have been in the Life Insurance business with the Great Southern Life Insurance Co., of Houston, Texas, for 22 yars, I have learned a lot of new ideas. And I hope that I can take another short course next year.

Every one of the group agreed that the course was very helpful and instructive and I as Director from District 5 of our SPJST, wish it were possible for every one of our organizers to attend this short course. I am sure that it would help them to work out a plan and program whereby they can write more life insurance.

In conclusion, I want to say that everybody was very congenial and happy that we took this course.

J. M. Skrabanek, Director District Five ) • sy. • ( Some time ago the Editor of our weekly herald VESTNIK, Brother Stephen Valcik, decided that he wanted to learn more about fraternal life insurance, and on his own iniative enrolled for the Fraternal Basic Insurance Course, which is sponsored at the Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. After completing the course he was so enthused that he prevailed upon officers and directors to approve sending several interested organizers who would be willing to make the trip and study the course during the week of November 2nd thru 6th.

As a result five members of our order SPJST made a trip by auto to Purdue University for that purpose, namely: Albert J. Bristik of Houston, Edward L.

Marek and Albert J. Mikeska of Temple, J. M. Skrabanek of Houston and Arnold Vrla of Dallas.

There were 49 organizers or agents representing 13 fraternal organizations from various parts of the United States who attended the classes. Our Order SPJST was outstanding as we were the only ones from the State of Texas, and we were honored to have one of our members, Brother Arnold Vrla, elected as Class Sheriff.

The course was presented in the, form of lectures from 8:30 a. m. to 2:20 p. m. ea,c1A day beginning Monday, November 2nd thru Friday, November 6th, and everyone present in the classes was there for a serious purpose. l‘f any of the representatives from othe'l organizations were,full-time organizers or agents with several years experience in the life insurance field. Some of them had been there before and came back to refresh their knowledge and obtain inspiration to carry on their work.

I wish to take this opportunity to state that I enjoyed the trip to Lafayette in company with the othecfour members mentioned, and appreciate tht privilege of attending the classes at Purdue University during my vacation time. The course is beneficial to anyone who has had some preliminary training and experience in selling life insurance and who is interested in improving his knowledge and ability to better serve his fellow man. It would be difficult for me to state in few words what we might have learned during the five days in class sessions. However, all of us have taken notes on the essential parts of the lectures which will be used for future reference and study. The lectures were inspiring to say the least, and the time spent on the Purdue University campus and at the dormitory, associating with other students, was rejuvenating.

After having attended the classes, I can better appreciate why our Editor, Brother Stephen Valcik, is so enthusiastic about sending SPJST organizers to Purdue University and why he went back recently to study the advanced course. His attendance at these classes is evidenced by the informative articles he writes in VESTNIK on the subject of life insurance protection for the benefit of our membership. In my opinion there is no better way that a person with a small financial income can create an estate than by accumulating small a-. mounts of earnings and investing in life insurance, and Brother Valcik's educational articles must have been greatly

instrumental for our order in securing the outstanding amount of insurance that was subscribed for by our members during this year.

Fraternally Albert J. Bristik Lodge No. 88 )• I should like to express my appreciation to the Supreme Lodge SPJST for sending me to the 'Insurance Marketing Institute at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. I am happy to have been chosen to attend this school because the benefits derived from the course were so great. This course taught me what life insurance is and what it means to each individual as an investment as well as protection. I also learned the proper presentation of insurance to others. In fact, it was amazing to know the amount of information regarding insurance that can be learned over a period of one week.

I now feel much more informed in the field of insurance and feel much bett.ter qualified as an organizer.

Sincerely, Albert J. Mikeska Lodge 47 * * "Boy, do I feel good!". This was the first inspiration rendered to us in our week-long course at the Life Insurance Marketing Institute at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. And we did feel good after saying this at the beginning of our first meeting.

There were five men from Texas attending the Fraternal Basic Institute at Purdue University and all five were members of the SPJST order. This is a good sign that our SPJST is on the right track.

Now a little about our trip. From Dallas to the campus it is 962 miles by automobile. A two-day drive without making too many stops. It was very pleasant as the four other brothers that went along all were very congenial and we really did get acquainted well.

The weeks stay at Purdue, as for myself, it was very educational. It opened my eyes to prospecting, sales presentation, sales techniques, motivation, fact finding as to one's needs, social security, sales closing and many, many more sales ideas of various types to fit each situation. More about this later.

We not only learned in the class room, but also from other organizers from other societies. They were there from Oregon to Maine and in the evenings in our dormitories we had the opportunity to visit and discuss with them their sales programs which was an education in itself.

May I say in closing that it was time Very well spent, and i. hope that the

The officers of your lodge wish to apologize for this unforeseen predicament on such a short time notice.

Your attention is again called to the Essay Contest as well as to the membership drive contest with District Three.

It is my understanding that organizers of District Three are working hard to beat us in order to get a free meal at our expense. Personally, I don't mind paying for my friend's dinner, but won't like the embarrassment and "razzing" that might take place if our District Five should lose. At the rate we are going it looks as though we, may lose by a large margin unless some of us organizers wake up and go to work.

We have quite a number of organizers in District Five but only about a half dozen are taking their work seriously.

The membership in District Five can assist organizers by recommending good Pres p,ects for membership, such as eighbors, relatives, and fellow workers.

Personally, I have' fallen down in writing new members for our Order due to the fact that 'I spent a week of my vacation time at the Purdue University learning what insurance protection really means to me and to our members.

YOUR SOCIETYNEEDS PUBLICITY (The following 'talk was delivered by the editor of the Vestnik to the delegates of the Texas Fraternal Congress on Friday morning, November 20, 1953, in Rice Hotel, Houston, Texas.)

My appearance before you, ladies and gentlemen, brings to my mind the experience of the Kentucky revenue agent who was trying to locate a bootleg still.

He found a small cabin in what seemed to be the right neighborhood. When he knocked a small boy came to the door.

"Where is your father?" asked the officer. The boy answered, "Down at the still." "Where is your mother?" "Down at the still." "Where is the still?" "Ain't goin' to tell you." "Oh, come on, tell me where the Still is and give you a quarter." "Al right." "Where is the still?" asked the agent. "Where is the quarter?" asked the boy. "I'll give it to you when I come back." "Nothing Join'. I want it now. You ain't coming back."

Unlike the revenue officer, I am back.

A year ago, in San Antonio, your chairman of the Publicity Section, and my good friend, Brother Leo Anders, of Sons of Hermann, requested me to sit at the front. I thought it was a privilege and a special consideration for the sole purpose of being able to take notes more comfortably at the table. I liked it. I appreciated it. I relaxed. Brother Roy Martin, of the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance, was the speaker. As I was listening to Roy's inspiring talk, taking it all in, Leo whispered in my ear, "You are the next speaker." If you had asked me then whether Mickey Mouse was a cat or a dog, you wouldn't get an answer out of me. It was publicity in reverse.

Can you do publicity better than .I did a year ago?

You can relax for a few moments. We will discuss something that is familiar to you. Either you already know all about your organization and its projects, or y ou can learn without too much time or trouble. Your society needs publicity.

Having background in what you are go ing to publicize is one of the first essentials of your publicity job.

A Swiss psychologist named Carl G. Jung divided all people into two general groups—extroverts and introverts. A type of person who directs his energies and interests outside himself, enjoys social activities, and expresses himself in action, is an extrovert. A type of person who directs his energies and interests Within himself and prefers solitary. activities, is, according to Jung's classification, an introvert. Those who, are in-, between are ambiverts.

Your organization has had faith e- I exactly in the same words or phrases nough in you; your members ask you to he or she tells you. handle your society's publicity, but they Also, serving with you, there is the don't ask you if you are an extrovert, willing worker, who doesn't mind workan ambivert, or an introvert.

You write the stories about these happennies and take or mail them to the newspaper editor or to your editor who edits your society paper. Even if you are afflicted with the most severe case of telephonitis, do NOT telephone your news. Don't expect the editor 'to write yclur story. That's your job.

It is essential that you know how to use the typewriter. An editor may be reluctant to read your stuff if you give him a piece done in longhand. He will throw it into a wastebasket quicker if he is compelled to retype it for you. Or he may set it aside and conveniently forget bout your piece of writing.

Re„ently, a good friend of mine resented very much my request that his copies shou'd be double—spaced, and with marOns. Pushed by the deadline, the editor may not have time to retype the , l'uty or the report. oi wish to retain the good-will and the high regard of the editor, you must have your stories typed, preferably on standard 81/2 by 11 inch typewriter paand you must type them doubleeed.17a - only one side of paper.

Leading writers of today average 16 words per sentence.

Make your story as short as possible.

Cover all you have to say on just one page.

If you had from six months' to twenty years' of experience as a newspaper reporter, it would be easier to write your story. You must start with an "eye opener". Editors call it the lead. Editors think it is important. Put the most important item at the beginning of your story. Editors are usually impatient, and sometimes, they are busy, to find out what it is all about.

Your story lead is supposed to answer these questions: Who? What? When?

write your story. Be especially careful! about the spelling of names: Many a Mr.i Smythe strongly dislikes having his name spelled with an "i" and without "e". On the Resurrection Day, I am going to glance on my own tombstone, a sort of editorial habit.

If you are sending in pictures for publication, paste a strip of paper across the bottom of every photograph:On this paper have a typewritten identification of all the persons in the picture. Type the names of the people as they appear from left to right in the photo. Be sure to put in full names, titles, and addresses. Don't expect the editor to rush to the nearest telephone booth to look for initials in the directory. You may be living in another town. And don't write any information on the back of the photo.

While we are on the subject of pictures, let me tell you a secret, Newspaper editors are partial to the pictures of pretty girls. This may be a personal characteristic with nearly all the editors, unless there is something wrong with their liver. But they have learned that newspaper readers, also, like to look at the pictures of pretty girls. It follows, logically, that the photograph you submit to an editor will have a better chance of publication if there is a charming miss posed with the old fossil whose picture you really want to print.

Let's say that you want to give publicity to three grandfathers of your society.

Now, if you have a charming, eighteenyear-old grandaughter in the picture, listening to her gradpappy, the editor may be interested in your photo. Or there is your ex-president, Mrs. Browne, who has been a hard-working, loyal, and faithful member of your socitey..She deserves to have her picture in the local newspaper without shenanigans. The editor will agree that Mrs. Browne is a deserving soul. But he has to give his readers pictures they want to look at.

You should arrange a picture showing Mrs. Browne reading a report of the society to a group of listening—attractively---,new members.

Wednesday, November 25, 1953 or a dinner meeting, make a list, in order from left to right, of all persons who are seated at the speakers' table. Knew the titles, the full names of featured speakers and prominent guests. If possible, secure copies of all speeches and talks before the event begins. Reporters like that. It saves them taking notes.

Up to now we have been talking about everyday routine. But once in a while you run into something big. Once every four years there is a big Event, say, a several days' convention of your organization. You must have a stiiedule when you publicize something ow, something that is of interest to a wide public outside your own organization. Ouisociety, Slavonic Benevolent Order, had experienced such g, big event last Saturday and Sunday. We had a fia mal opening of our new headquarters in Tem p le. We had a series of articles in The Temple Daily Telegram. Unfortunately, instead of being right on the spot at the right time, I was at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana.

The report reached the editor of the Vestnik directly from the office of the Voice of America last week.

These broadcasts Included messages from President Eisenhower and other prominent Americans expressing the firm conviction that Czechoslovakia will again be free and that its captive people are not forgotten by their blood brothers in America.

The Voice of America sent4 a special recording team to Pittsburg to make recordings for broadcasting of the observance of the day in the Czechoslovak Room in the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburg. These recordings included interviews with prominent Czech and Slovak citizens.

Among them were Michael Schram, banker, of Homestead, Pennsylvania, Milan Getting, chairmart Czechoslovak association, of Bellevue, Andrew Petor, High School principal and football coach, Jan 1Vlartinka, of Tarentum, r'ennsylvania.

Also included were .sermons by Rev. John Zornan of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and Rev. Emil Laucek of New Kensington, Pennsyvania. Recordings were likewise made of the 50th anniversary of the Sokol Organization in Tarentum, Pa. Included in the broadcasts were the words of the late Jan Masaryk spoken when he dedicated the Czechoslovak Room at the University of Pittsburg in 1939. They were transcribed from the recording files of the University. The Voice of America also broadcast parts of the concert given on the night of October 28 by the Czechoslovak National Council of the United States in Carnegie Hall, New York.

Once you have calculated the amount of calories you can eat, based on your ideal weight, you merely undercut by 550 — and, prestO! -- five pounds will vanish every month.

Another important advantage of this plan is that under it you can eat any foods you desire — sweets, starches, fats, and proteins — so long as the total calorie count every day does not exceed the quota you have set for yourself.

Medical authorities favor this method in preference to freak diets because it Mlows the dieter to eat well-balanced meals and does not rob him of vital protective vitamins and minerals.

PUNCTURE - PROOF YOUR TIRES Because the sentimental owner of a 1923 car wanted to drive it in 1953, an extraordinary chain of events was set in motion. The end result is an invention which enables you to make your tires puncture-proof — without deflating your pocketbook.

It all started when New York businessman Fred Dahlem decided that something had to be done about the leaking tires of the 1923 Packard which he kept as a family mememto on his upstate farm. To replace the antiquated 70-pound pressure tires meant an expenditure of $80 a tire at antiqUe collectors' prices.

Stubbornly loyal to the old jalopy, he refused to retire it to pasture. He just called his friend Frank Litwin, consultant in rubber research to the government, who was working in Philadelphia.

"Frank, please do me a favor," he said. "I can't get a set of new tires for my old Packard. You know how I feel about that car, and I'd like to keep it in running shape. I wonder if you could get me some kind of rubber adhesive that would prolong the life of the tires on my Packard." There was no available rubber adhesive that would do the job, Frank told him, but he would see what he could do.

Fascinated by his friend's problem, Litwin spent many hours in his Philadelphia laboratory. Three months later Frank Dehlem received a package. It was a big can of rubber adhesive compound and an envelope containing carefully hand-written instructions on how to install it in the tires.

This was four years ago. The Packard is still runnnig on the rough back country roads; the tires haven't leaked in four years; and what is more, they are completely puncture proof.

The compound remained a laboratory curiosity in the old Packard tires until eight months ago when Fred Dahlem met at a dinner party. During the course of the evening's conversation he proudly related the story of his old Packard and its puncture-proof tires.

, The imagination of the advertising man, Calvin Fox, was fired and he asked to meet Litwin as soon as it could, be arranged. Fox reasoned that if the compound could work for a 1923 jalopy, it could work on any car. Here might be the answer to every motorist's dream of having puncture-proof tires at low cost.

Litwin and Fox met and agreed to 'work together. Litwin refined the forWhat you get out of life depends on mula still further and then they christened the new product appropriately: ihether you're digging or gougng.

Safe-T-Garda Since then the Safe-TGard sign has become familiar in service stations and automotive supply stores from coast to coast.

In the past six months, since it was introduced on the ,market, more than one and one-half million automobile owners in forty-seven countries have puncture-proofed their tires. A morning's mail in the company's offices is likely to show orders from India, Alas4a, Japan, South Africa, Canada, Cuba, as well as the United States.

Is there a secret to this new boon to motorists? None at all. It's so simple, you wonder, why it wasn't available to everyone before. Until six months ago, expensive puncture-proof tiredf were On the market for only the very few who could affors1. them. Now for $1.98 a tire, even the most budget-minded motorist can have a set, Safe-T-Gard is a liquid rubber compound which seals punctures as they occur. To make the installation, you, need not remove the tire. You simply screw the tube of Safe-T-Gard into the air valve of your tire the and spueexe.

The compound will spread over the inner surface of the tube as you drive.

When a nail or other foreign matter enters the tube, it goes through the gummy substance which creates a Mtn around it. When the nail is removed the compound adheres to it and works its way into the puncture, sealing off the hole like a cork. It will last for the entire life of the tire tube and will not be affected by temperature changes.

One leader in the auto industry expressed it this way: "What the vitamin pill is to the human being, Safe-T-Gard is to the auto tire. It prevents sickness and prolongs health."

Last year, forty million car owners in these United States suffered the aggravation of flat tires. This year, SafeT-Gaid's proud owners predict, the aggraN, atiun will be significantly lessened.

And soon, they promise, the distressing spectacle of a motorist changing a flat tire at the side of a highway will be as obsolete as the horse and buggy. )• If you have a youngster just starting to school, we have a suggestion: Slip 40c in an envelope and send it to National Education Association, 1201 16th Street, N W, Washington, D. C. Tell them you want a copy of Happy Journey. It's a wonderful little book., telling your youngster in a simple underatandable way the skills and habits he'll need to develop in school and through bls later life of learning, yearning, and earning.

Once upon a time a Mohammedan came to one • of his religious leaders "Oh, no." called a 'Kadi, and asked: "If I eat dates "Well," went on the questioner, "date is that against the commands of religwine consists only of these three ingreion?" dients. Why, then, is it forbidden by the laws of our religion?"

"Nu," said trio Kadi.

The Kadi thought a moment, and "And. may I add some water:' then he said, "If I throw a handful of "Certainly."

"Not in the least."

"And if I add some water-will it hurt you then?"

"I think not."

"Now, if I mix dust and water together and burn it into a brick and .hit you on the head with it, what then?"

"controls" governing our -essential reading.

It never pays to slight magazines in your own line, no matter what else has to go unread.

Be wary about material handed to you with the suggestion, "this ought to interest you." Learn to skim through these literary handouts from your friends. .Pace the fact that most popular magazines today are aimed at entertaining the reader. Boil down the articles you have found so fascinating and you'll marvel at how few useful facts you have learned, although some few publications maintain an admirable balance between entertainment and information.

You must label with complete honesty what you will read for instruction or information, and what is intended only to amuse.

Not that there is anything wrong with reading for pleasure or intangible improvement-in sensible proportion.

When you read a few paragraphs and think, "This is old stuff," it probably is.

Strangely enough, it may be new and valuable to readers who do not have your wide experience. The older you grow, the more difficult it becomes find worthwhile reading matter. But keep looking, for it's one of your best idea-stimulators.

Teach yourself "taste reading." Take a nibble here and there, and if you don't like the sample, pass it up. Like the editor who, according to legend, wrote a young writer, "You are right that I did which undoubtedly helps. But in our not read your story through. But I don't estimation a lot more could be done by have to eat a whole cake to know it's selective reading which simply ignores bad." entirely that which holds little promise Keep . essential reading handy and orof being worth the effort. ganized.

Za -starYch easii nak babieky a prababieky varivaly na otevrenem ohniSti v nadobach, ktere mely postaveny na trino2ce, zylag titim Zeleznem ramci o trech nohach. Nekdy nektera, noha museia byti troSku podloleria plochYm kaminkem, kouskem aby trinoZka se nevikla.la.

Strava musi miti tri zakladni veci, aby vyhovovala. Odbornik by rekl, ze strava musi byti biologicky hodnotna, totiZ aby obsahovala latky sytici, latky Zivici a latky ochranne. Jako trinoZka musi stati pevne na trech podstavcich, strava musi obsahovati primerenY podil ZivoeiSnYch bilkovin (latky z v ci, z nich2 se fel° stavi), musi miti dosti tuSkrobovin a uhlovodanti (latek syticich), a musi miti dostatek nerostnYch latek a vitamina.

Nemusime jisti kahleho dne maso nebo rnastne vYrobky. X tomu neelu se velmi hodi, zylaSte u deti, rnladYch lidi a Zen tehotnYch a kojicich, bilkoviny inleene a vejce, 2ivoei gna bilkovina se da, nahraditi jinak net masem. Je mnohem vhodnejSi podavat k jidlu denne trebas menSi rnnoZstvi ZivootAnYch bilkovin, pokud mono ye spojeni s rostlinnYmi, net jednou nebo dvakrat tYdrie davat yellke porce masa.

Nikdy nemame si navyknouti na jednostrannou vatenou stravu. Na to east° zaporniname, take syrove ovoce, zelenina a salaty v syrove forme prichazeji na still jen zridka. Ale i jinak bychom men miti na stole kadY den zeleninu„ tteba pripravenou teplem.

TRESTNICE NA iiABELsxtm OSTROVE Kdy2 pohlecinete na mapu2ni. Ameriky a polo2ite prst na Brasilii, ktera2to zeme je nejvet gi republikou na zapadni polokouli, najdete na severu Brasilie, samem pobfe2i Atlantickeho oceanu, male skvrny. Nejvetk skvrna je tak velka jako Korea, a mela rovne2 v nedavnam vkvinu politickkch fiskoku a pletich pad= noun do klina tamnejSirn komunistimi.

Tyto ti zeme nazkvaji se Guiany. NejYak path Anglii, druha Nizozemsku, a nejmenSI je vlastnictvim Francie. Tato nejmenk je nejpovestnejk. Do francouzske Guia,ny vyva2ela Francie sve nejvetRi trestanecke provinilce, aby pomalu v nezdravem tropickern podnebi umirali.

Tato povestna, francouzska trestanecka kolonie, s hlavni trestnici na 15abelskem °strove, byla v zah 1953 zruSena. Byla to skuteene skvrna civilisovaneho na,roda.

Jako kdysi Anglie posilala svoje trestance do americkkch kolonii a zaeala tre stanci osazovati Australii, tak Francie vyobcovala sve trestance do jihoamericke Guiany. Rusko posilalo sve vezne do sibitske zimy, Francie do tropickkch d2ungli. Anglie osa/,ov • la trestanci sve ameri• cke kolonie, az Benjamin Franklin protestoval a navrhoval, aby Amerika posilala sve chtestYS"e do Anglie..

Pted dvir", ma mesici poslednIch 58 trestancn ve francouzske trestanecke kolonii bylo pfestehovano do jedne pati2ske trestnice a dalk trestanci ji g do tech strakivkch d2ungli poslani nebudou. Kolonie ta byla zalo2ena v roce 1854 a od to doby tam bylo poslano asi 70,000 Fran odsouzenkch pro vra2dy, loupek a politicks zloeiny. Z techto 70,000 se vratilo necelkch 2,000.

Kolonie ta byla ptivodne ureena jen pro politicks vezne, avS'ak byla tee pozdeji rozk • ena, malt' DabelskY Ostrov byl jen easti rozlehle trestanecke kolonie, ktera, obsahovala dva dark ostrn yky a dva trestanecke tabory na, jihoamericke pevnine na bfehu teky Maroni ye francouzske Guiane. be.belskS' ostrov bylo v'Aak velmi ptilehavkm oznaeenim pro tuto kolonii, kdy2 Utrapy, s nnni2 se trestanci tam setkavali, byly vskutku d'abelske.
