PRACOVNi PROGRAM DISTRIKTNi pay

E roku. V ohledu na . KONEC , Istirktni sc uze milZeme iici, le uZ je konec roku, ze 1.1Z nebudou letos Zadne dalAi distriktni schti, ze. MtiZerne udelati celorneni prehlidku.

Vetkna distriktft mela d ye schtize. atvrtST distrikt mel pouze jednu schtizi, zato mei v ni stoprocentni zastoupeni.

Paty distrikt mel tri schfize a zastoupeni mel jen polovieni. Treti distrikt m61 ten tri schtize, a pokaZde schazela jedna petina radii, Co je lepgi?

Celkem slykrne dosti chvaly o techto distriktnich schtizich. Ale v kaZde distriktni schtizi je slyAeti jeden nebo dva hlasy, Ze bychom men miti pravidla pro Vaechny distrikty. Ve schtizi sedmeho distriktu v Hobson, kdosi to rekt po domacku. "Piujeme, plujeme, ale bez vesla."

Ve schtizi Sesteho distriktu znovu bylo pripomenuto, aby byla dohoda men jednotlivYrni distrikty stran aby dye distriktni schtize neptipadaly na jednu a tute2 nedeli. Otazka byla vy'volana take ve schuzi tretiho distriktu v Ennis. KdyZ ve schtizi pateho distriktu vyvstala otazka, kdy bude priSti schtize, jeden z pritomnYch hlavnich firednikti oznamoval, re treti a etvrta nedeli bteznu a treti a etvrta, nedele v dubnu jsou ji2 zabrany. Bylo by dobre, aby tajemnici vsech distriktu oznamili schtize sveho distriktu co nejdrive. Ve Vestniku maze pro distriktni schtze byti zvla:Stni odstavec, kalendar V sedmem distriktu bylo pkijato usneseni, aby Hlavni Utadovna vypracovala nejaka, prozatimni pravidla pro vSechny distrikty. Ve schnzi ttetiho distriktu v Ennis vyvstala podobna otazka, ale nastalo mezi 61eny nedorozumeni. Nedoko ku spravnernu vysvetleni, ac treti distrikt doporui.c11 ye schazi, konane v Dallas 29. brezna 1953 ureitY pracovni pro-

gram. 0 nejakem programu, o nejakYch pravidlech, o nejakem postupu spoleene einnosti y distriktu nebylo v Zadnem jinem distriktu jednano.

Posud nag program jednani ye schilzdch distriktu byl jednoduchY. se navStevnici. Ptedstavili se hlavni rednici a reditele. KaZdY z nich byl poMclan o kratSi. proslov. Nekdy ten "kratkY" proslov se protahnul. Byla etena jmena rada a poznaeeni ptitomni zastupci nebo navStevnici. A priky neja7 ke proSlovy a navrhy pro dobro distriktu, po strance finaneni, stran nejakeho budouciho podniku.

Pochvalnou vYjimku ueinila tajemnice radu Karel JonaiS eislo 28 v East Bernard, ktera v posledni schtizi ‘Sesteho distriktu v Taiton vstala a Zadala, by ji bylo dovoleno podati zpravu o spolkove praci u jejiho tadu. Mela to pane sestaveno: kolik pravidelnYch schnzi od ledna do kijna; kolik prtimerna navSteva schilzi; kolik radovYch zabav, svaein, veeirkti, divadel a detskYch program ti; kolik pribylo novYch elenti; kolik rad ma organisatorti; celkovY ptehled einnosti u &du* Karel Jona2S. Podobria zprava, jakou podala sestra Karolina Bohaeikova v distriktni nebyla podana dosud od Zadneho jineho ta,du v Zadne jine distriktni schtzi.

Je to poknY vzorek.

DruhY vzorek, kterY zasluhuje pozornosti a rivahy od distriktnich i hlavnich ntednikii, je pracovni program prijatY ve schuzi ttetiho distriktu. Byl uVetejnen y e Vestniku dne 15. dubna 1953. A jestli Hlavni itradovna ma vypracovati nejaka prozatimni pravidla, jak bylo odhlasovano v sedmem distriktu a slibeno od pritomnYch hlavnich fitednika, takove pokyny mohly by bYti uvaZeny, pripadne vteleny do pravidel. Take by mohl bYti pondan tajemnik bYvaleho stanovniho vYboru, bratr Steiner, aby hlav-

English

nim atedniktitm poskytnul ony zznamy, ktere bYvalY stanovni vVbor mei vypracovany pro vteleni do nakch stanov, kdyZ by distrikty byly zavedeny.

Distrikty by mely miti sva pravidla.

Teleso bez pravidel je hloueltem, je skupinou ildi, ne vS'ak organisaci. V techto pravidlech maze bYti ponechana distrikttin Upina samosprava v hranicich neelu, pro ktery byly distrikty zaloleny.

KaZda organisace ma nejaka pravidla nebo stanovy nebo spolktva, usneseni.

Nemusi to bYti nic diktator keho, ale ma bYti nem pro spoleene dobro, aby nedochazelo k nedorozumeni a zmatku.

Dojde-li na yypracovani nejakeho u`sneseni od hlavnich ittednikti, bude to jen prozatimni. A jiste to bude s tim dorozumenim, Ze se to napted dobrovolne y distriktech vyzkouSi, nez se to osvedei a ukale, zda se to ma, pozdeji vloZiti do nakch stanav nebo zda se to mute vnbec praktikovati.

Jen tak namatkou je zde poznaeeno, co mohlo nebo melo by bYt v techto pravidlech pro distrikty a distriktni schnze. Melo by bYti udano: 1. Kolikrat do roka ma se konati distriktni schfize.

2. Kdo ureuje rnisto a den schtize.

3. Zda rady voli do distriktni schaze zastupce nebo jsou vkchni navS'tevni.ci libovolni.

4. Hiasuje-li se v distriktni schtizi podle navStevnikti, podle radii nebo podle elentl u kaZdelio tadu.

5. Kolik ntednikil ma distrikt, kdy se voli, jake prava maji mimo distriktni schuzi.

6. Jake vYbory , se voli v distriktu a jake jsou jejich povinnosti.

7. Jak se financuji vr'iohy vYborti a einnosti y distriktu.

VESTN1K — WEST; TIME

Maivnka Valova Sedmdesitnici Pit toto jako kytieku k jejim narozeninam. Vim, ze se zavdeeim cele etenarske obci, neb je dosti znasna z dopisovani a spolkoveho Zivota. Je to velice inteligentni oeska Zena, velmi seCtela, skoro yysokogkolskelao vzcielani, pri torn prostinka, jcn2 si musela 'east° pracne yydobYvat skYvu chleba pro svoje deti. Narozena byla 13. prosince 1889 v okresu Fayette p11 Praze.

Jeji rodiee Anton a Marie Kulhankovi se roku 1393 prestehovali do okresu Waller, kde se v to dobe usazovalo hodne nageho deskeho a mora yskeho lidu nagindi) Proto pojmenovali tu osadu Siovanville. Postavili si tam g kolu, kde vyueoval ueitel Vojtek. Hravali tarn eeska diva,dia, kde Marenka s nynej gi pani Rezkovou-Linko you z Dallas, taky sedmde• satnici, velice east° neinkovaly na Ceske scene. Tatinek pani Valove, kterY byl uvedomelY spolkar a svobociar, ridil divacila, a zeseval po Texasu ty yzacne kulturiii sernenka. JiZ davno spi svilj sen. Maininka, to dobra ticha starenka, ktera, je jiste kolem 90 let, je gte Zije a je v opatrovani u sveho syna Jarouge. DruhY syn jeji Karel pied 5 mesici zenifel. Maminka jegte v 80 letech napsala do Amerika,na Zivotopisnou ertu pionYrky z Texasu.

Jsme hrdi na ty odu gevnele pionYry, kteii probijeli strastne Zitim na farmach. cni nam dali zaklad k na g emu narodnimui Ziyotu zde. Po ease se bude v ge eist jako pohalky.

MaTenka se v roce 1911 provdala za Aloise Cerneho, kterY byl strojnikem. Pomalu vyrustalo jejich rodinne gtesti — vyrnstaly i d ye liana deti, Jarou gek a Libugka. Pribylo vice starosti, bylo potreba vice potravin, a hiava rodiny, ten dobrY; tata onemocnel va.Zne a v roce 1915 zernrel. Marka, kterd toho zdravi taky noniela nazbyt, hrdinne nesla svilj osud.

Dovedla pro sve deti si odrici, ale na sebe byla tvrda a nekiesla.

V ten eas jsein Marku poznala, kdy pracovala v tiskarne u pana Drozdy. Deti mela u maminky. Jeji domov zesmutnal. Marne hledala, co LiZ se nevrati. eas ale rany hoji. Tak se stab, ze i ona se znovu provdala v roce 1921 za eloveka .;1:.roninello a uvedomeleho, Oldricha. Vahi. Jeji syn Jaroug se °Zarin, a Libugka je :i'orad mamineina. Pracuje jiZ diouhd leia ye yladni sluZbe ye Washington, D. C. Progia universitou s dokonalYm vyznamenanim.

Oba manZele Valovi stale pracuji pro narodni zivot, pro spoleenou snahu, z niZ by plynul prospech vgeobecnY. Mariina prace a ptatelskY vztah k lidem prines1 ji mnohou ute g enou chvili ovgem i nejakou tu horkou pilulku musela spolk-

PI. M. VALOVA nout pro traveni a ona ji spolkia. Pravim, spolkla — a Mc vie, Spolkarka je vYteend, aspori byla kdy jsem v Houstone byla. Kolikrat jsem se ji v duchu obdivoy ala. Nikdy nevybuchla, ale s klidem a fismevem v ge vysvetlila, jen ty jeji velke oci pod tma yYmi viasy se vic rozsirily. To jsem yklycky poznala, ze vina litosti neb zlosti pro gla jejim telem, ze se ji to neb ono jednani nelibi. V tech vecech zna, politiku. Nikdy o nikom spatne nemluvi Kdyz jsem byla ja /lady zklamana v me dramaticke praci, tak mne posilovala: "Ty bere g vsecko piths 'Wee, proto jsi dobrou tragedkou. Ale toto je zivot a ne divadlo. Jednou jsi se dala do prace yerejnosti, tak musi g brat vgechno s klidem, dobre i zle, a ne brat jenom yavilny, ale i polykat pilulky, nebo by ti narostla velka hiava. Musi g psat dal." Bylo to mineno od ni upfimnO. Na to nezapomenu, neb mne to pornohla.

Olovek se rodi, aby byl na svete deco platen. ManZele Valovi udelali svuj dil.

Nikomu se nevnucuji a na obdiv svoji praci nestaveji, ale pomahaji, kde mohou. Jejich tichou praci pilpravili pro Ceske spolky v Houstonu lep gi zivot v jejich obchodni existenci.

KdyZ po druhe valce se posilalo do "deskoslovenska, oni byli mezi prvnimi, kteri posilali do g koly, kam Oldfich Vala chodil, baliky, vinu g atstvo, prizi na haekovani. Vg e kupoval z to male mzdy, kterou dostaval za svou praci.

Kolikrat nine Mafka fikala "VIA, Karlo, kdybych tak mohla, zatrolene, ale nemohu!" Zahryzla se do rtu — a ti2 nerekla ani slova. Bylo ji do, pidee. 0statue jsem si musila domysfet, ze tu stoji pfede mnou s prazdnYma rukarna. To, co by chtela rozdat, toho nebylo. Byla chuda na finance, ale bohata v srdci a v

Jerde jsem take jako - pigi. nekte •i jini, kteti radeji etou ne Z Pti navgteve na gich distriktnich schazi seznamili jsme se s mnoha novYmi Oaten. Nekteti se nas tazali, jak jsme se my dva, mardelka a ja, seznamili, kdy2 sam jsem bydlel ye Wheelock, a ona zase aZ v Kaufman. Slibil jsem jim, 2e to vypigi ye Vestniku. Kdy2 je veliky naval lidu, jako bylo na slavnosti v Temple, neni ptileMtosti na deli vYklady.

Bylo to v roku 1920 na zaeatku iijna, kdyZ ptigel ke mne soused, dobrY kamarad, nyni j12. zesnulY Rudolf Ktenek. Pravil mi, 4 jede do Kaufman sbirat bavlnu, abych jel s nim. Aby mne snadneji ptemluvil, vykladal, Ze tam jig byl pied tiemi lety, *Ze tam nagel vesele lidi a dosti hezkYch deveat.

Jglikoz arodu svou men jsme jig sklizenu, a na ()rani bylo sucho, rozhodnul jsem se, Z'e s nim pojedu.

Kdy2 jsme pi'ijeli do Kaufman, segli jsme se s panem Tom Babovcem. Dnes jiz dtima svaj vednY sen. Dojel s bavinou do Oiny a prave Vytizoval nejake zale2itosti v tounalovem obchode. Hned nas najal, abychom sli k nemu sbirat bavinu.

Tak jsme sebrali na ge pinkle, sedli s nim do vozu a jell na jeho farrnu.

Babovcovi meli tti chlapce a dve eata. Nebylo nam u nich smutno. Ktomu pani Babovcova dobie varila, tak meli jsme se tam opravdu dobie.

Tenkrat tam je gte nebylo Ceske sine, ani kostela, take taneeni zabavy se potadaly po domech. Hned prvni tYden po ptijezdu slibila nam pani Babovcova—budeli sobotu pane poeasi—Ze u nich mtdeme mit taneeni zabavu.

Strana 9 koleny hYbat. NemYlim-li se, pan Beran te2 jig diime yeenY sen. Pan Hauser je'StA 2ije.

Na to prvni zabavu piijelo dosti lidu, jak mladi, tak stall KdyZ tam je gte nemen sine ani kostela, schazeli se po do-mech. Byla tam teZ skupina deveat, jedna bezel. net druha. Mezi nimi byla jedna, s kterou mne sleena Babovcova seznamila, sleena Albina Cechova. Muselo ji me jmeno utkvet v mysli, protole pozdeIgim rozhovoru se mne ptala, jest11 jsem ptibuznYm pana Vytopila v Ennis. Vysvetlovala, Ze oni bydleli nekolik let pobliZ Ennis a ona 2e pana Vytopila dobie zna. Pravil jsem ji, 2e jsein o nem nikdy neslygel, ale jak pojedu s Ktenkem nazpet domft pies Ennis, Ze ho vyhledam. Take se tak stalo.110d to doby se zname se spolubratrent Vytopilern.

Zdali jsn.e nejaka, ptizen, to dosud nevim. 0 torn by on mohl neco lep gi vedet, je neco star gi neZ ja, a pochazi z toho mista ye stare vlasti, odkud jsou take moji rodiee.

TakovYm zpasobem jsem se seznamil s- mou manZelkou. Ov gem segli jsme se jegte nekolikrat na onech taneenich zabavach v Kaufman. Pak jsme si nejakou dobu dopisovali. Na druhY rok v eerinu jel jsem °pet do Kaufman. Bydlel jsem u KtenkovYch chlapcti, tad dva bratti "beelatili" na farme dedeC,•ka Bed•icha.

Za nekolik tYdna jsme se s moji nastavajici domluvili, "e se olenime. Koupila si na pane svatebni eaty, a oba jsme za pani Joe toupalo you, by gaty uSila a jine ptipravila.

Za dva dny jsme k ni piisli zase. Sam jsem zfistal sedet na verande. Bylo dosti teplo. Po chvilce mne pani toupalova volala dovniti:"Franku, pojd' se podivat, jak jsem ti tvou nastavajici vystrojila."

Vegel jsem do svenice. Zastal jsem ptekvapen. Opravdu vypadala hezoueka jako bila holubieka.

Pani toripalova obratila se ke nine: "Franku, bude•li Albina na tebe tak hodna, jak je hezka, bude s ni St'asten."

Podekoval jsem ji za jeji slova. "Piejeme si oba, abychom byli Nemame nea jen pracovite ruce, ale te gime se, Z • e si po Case aspon trochu pomideme." • Za svedka se mnou byl, jak jsem dal o povoleni k silatku, pan Frank toupal .Jestli se nemYlim, bydli ted' blizko Dallas, Texas.

We are giving every SPJST member an opportunity to save money under a protected thrift account. We ask him to pay the SPJST as little as three cents on every dollar he wishes to save. We actually ask him to send to the headquarters one three-cent stamp once a year, so that his family would get one dollar in return. We are asking the SP JST member to take a small part of today's income, a very small part, and invest it in the SPJST certificate, so that there will be at least some money in the future.

WE DO NOT SELL INSURANCE AS such. We offer service. If we offer the service of the SPJST to a new member, we offer him benefits which will be a blessing to him or to his family. We sell him income for the future which may be his only savings, which makes the perfect investment. When we offer the SPJST service, we are serving mankind in a manner which is not possible in any other financial business or profession.

TO DO THIS EFFECTIVELY, WE have our local lodges. If the officers of our local lodges don't believe in life insurance, they should resign from their respective positions. The lodge system, meetings, programs and services we render are just as much a part of the fraternal system as the insurance that, we sell. We should think of the lodge rooms as places where new ideas for service are born, where plans are made for the welfare of the members, where interest is shown for human welfare.

THEY SAID IT WITH FLOWERS Last issue of the Vestnik had a report from Brother J. F. Chupick, supreme secretary of the SPJST, in which he mentioned those who had sent expressions of congratulations in connection with our new office dedication.

It may be interesting to report those who contributed to the gaiety of the occasion with gorgeous Lowers.

While going from one ofice to another and from the ground floor to the third floor, your editor jotted down the names of those whose bouquets of roses, chrysanthemums, gladioli, carnations, celosias, bird of paradise flowers, rubber plants, ivy plants, and other flowers were sent to the Supreme Lodge as expressions of goodwill and congratulations. The list may not be complete.

Some of the bouquets may have been overlooked.

Altogether, I counted sixty-six bouquets and floral arrangements.

In my listing, which may be incomplete, there were 32 SP3ST lodges.

Should any local lodge be omitted from my list, kindly let me know.

The flowers were not left to wither in the offices of the headquarters, but on Monday after the dedication were sent to the patients in the local hospitals in Temple.

It was a noble gesture in a true brotherly spirit.

NUECES FARM BUREAU QUEEN A MEMBER OF LODGE NO. 56 When supreme secretary, Brother Chupick, attended the anniversary celebration of Anton Cermak Lodge No. 56 in Corpus Christi, a photograph was handed to him by Brother Louis Sacky.

The photograph was of a young lady, Miss Helen Sijansky, member of Lodge No. 56.

According to the information given by Brother Sacky to OUT secretary, Miss Helen Sijansky has been selected as Nueces Farm Bureau Queen. As the winner in the Nueces County, she was to go to a district meeting in Alice for a contest. If a winner again, she would go to Mineral Wells for a state ontest.

The state winners compete for 'national honors at tM annual American Farm Bureau convention in Chicago.

The editor of the Vestnik is always pleased to mention any of our young members who receive recognition or honor in any school or in any activities.

Brother Sacky deserves our thanks for his thoughtfulness; also Brother Chupick for supplying the editor with additional information.

As a passing thought, we would like to call our readers' attention to the announcement by the Texas A and M Czech Club that the club would like to receive nominations for a sweetheart.

What's wrong with nominating this young lady from Robstown? She may resent your editor's suggestion, but there are others, much closer to Miss Helen. who may get her "no" to be changed to "maybe."

At any rate, the readers of the Vestnik would like to know how she came out in the Queen contest in Alice. ) • 4•(

HELEN SIJANSKY OF ROBSTOWN Helen Sijansky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Sijansky, of Robstown, was named queen of the Nueces County Farm Bureau in a contest held recently in the Robstown High School auditorium.'

Miss Sijansky, who is a member of SPJST, and recent graduate of Robstown High School, and also outstanding member of the Future Homemakers of America, represented also Nueces County at the district Farm Bureau meeting and Queen Contest in Alice,

VYSEHRAD LODGE NO. 46, THRALL Dear Brothers and Sisters: It is with deep sorrow that I report the passing of Brother Vine Dvorak, my neighbor, uncle and friend. We miss him very much in our daily life and the monthly SPJST meetings will not be the same with Brother Dvorak absent as he was a very loyal member and since his joining of Lodge No. 48 his attendance record was about perfect.

Brother Dvorak was born in Czechoslovakia and came to this country at an early age. He married Teresa Hejl and they were blessed with four children; Mrs. Cornelia Haage of Thorndale, Henry Dvorak of Thrall, Johnny of Taylor and Annit Kaatz of Taylor.

Brother Dvorak was a resident of the Thrall community where he had many friends who will long remember him.

Strana textbooks, so that you can reach these without getting up. Efficiency experts declare that more time is wasted in use-! less motion than in any other way. It is best to study always in the same place or the same few places. If you work in the library, go always to the same side of the room, the same table if possible.; This encourages concentration. When at your work table, work. Do not allow interruptions. If you study at home it is preferable to study in your own room.

The radio (often a temptation) is better placed somewhere else than near your study table.

To become interested in your studies, find their connection to yourself and your future. It will not be sufficient to do this superficially; for studies are long and arduous, and superficial interests die away. You must see how your work now will be a part of you and your equipment ten yearst hence.

Concentration is a skill in a certain study with which you are familiar. No one should expect to concentrate without effort when he begins a new study, any more than he would expect to play a new game skillfully. He must learn.

After he becomes skillful in the subject, he finds his mind playing easily with the material, and his concentration complete.

Textbooks — Unless it is financially imposible to do otherwise, it is best to preserve your textbooks, particularly in the field of your major interest.

Second-hand prices give you a small return for the books, and after you have studied them, you will be able years later to refer quickly to needed material in them.

As you read these books, make them permanently your own, not merely by careful study, but by underlining the most important items, writing comments in the margin, and listing special items on blank pages. Note down in your book the ideas which the subject matter arouses in you. After studying a chapter carefully, you should be able to review it rapidly in a few minutes by following your clues and suggestions. As you study through this book, skim through your own markings and hints in the chapter before you turn to the new, thus you will bind the ideas together in your mind and insure their preservation.

The distance you have already come in your self-development is one of the best reasons you have for going farther.

Part of this record is provided by the grades given you. Think of the quizzes and examinations as you think of your physical weight. He would be a fool who would weigh himself with lead in his pockets. It is just as stupid to crib in

Takova ochota nesmi bYti prehlednuta, ani zamitnuta. 172 proto, 2e 'Imola° Mike skit, Navratilu, Kalendit, Gajdogku, Psen Svaehatt, Slaeika a Nedbalkft poehazi bud' primo ze Zadveric nebo z Vizow:,keho kraje.

Dekuji bratru Kalendovi za jeho Po° zormst. Ctenari a elenove, kteri znaji ona 'nista ye stare vlasti, jiste se pripo-, ji sy Ym podekovanirn.

Zde k popis za.chrany zadverskYch • zvony dle vypraveni Jiriho Hurty, kterY byl radcem a podnikatelem tohoto imosu, a kterY prilbeh celeho spiknuti. pekne Po zadversky vykladal.

"Byl sem na podzim r. 1917 propuken, z ruskeho, bojika na dovolena a akorat sem zaeal trhat jabka, dyt nak zvony zaealy zvonit na rozlhoenn. Mely podle rozkazu cisare pana take narukovat. Narodni mySlenka sa ye mite ozvala, ty zvony nejak zachran! Veeer set sem za bratrem Janem a povidam mu: Poeriva,j Jane, viS co? Ty zvony mosime zachranit, tern rakuAakorn ich mosime do rana .snad' ukrast, ale vzit. Sak je to'nas =jack a naSich predku, Sak ich cisar Bratr Jan sahla,sil a to% zme Sli zhariat eke pomocniky, proto2e pro dva to byla vec nemoZna. Zvony vably 10 metraktl, ale lidi, co by byli vSeci za jednoho a jeden za vSecky, zme nemohli hned' tak zehnat. Jeden nam dokonca rekl, 2e sa nenecha g vuli kasku 2eleza povesit a pozbyt ph torn aj majetek. U'z zme . im planern u konca mysleli, 2e zme s na S a sli zme smutni a cell nesvoji spat. Moja floe nestala za ale, prenaY§16,1 sem, at sem si spornel, tie v Lipe na ‘Staci je muj kamarad Karel Celristka, kerY je tarn v rnagaciate slub„u a hleclaeem celeho gtaciOna. DruhY den Set sem do Lipy za Karlem.

Pane zme sa privitali, a ja sem si ph tom prehledl magacin a vial sem, ze v magacine sit na§e zvony na kraji u d yeri.

Zavolal sem Karla do hospody ha hlt a tam pc kratkej reel sem sa ho optal, lesti by to neslo zvony v magacine zajate nejak vyslobodit. Odpovedel mi: za Zadnri corm ne. prisel bych o slu2bu, ‘Sak VII, 2e prednosta je Nemec. Sel sem z

neporizenri dom. Na treti den Iii zme s bratrem Janem z.a.Fej do Lipy a povidame mu: "Karle, pridame ti eke stovku, a dy2 budeS" zkrz ty zvony propukenY ze sluZby, my sa o t'a postarame, :Sak t'a cela zadverska obec uzivi. Tot Karel zvolit povidaja. Dues o pit noel si prijet'te, magacin bode otevritY, a ja, budu z hiedacim psem ve sklepe". Z radostii honem darn, 2e sa nam zachranit zvony preca enom poclari.

HorSi bylo, gde zehnat honem povoz?

No pajdu za bratrancem Ozefem KolaPhd'a za nim pravim: ladle uZ inane fkcko nachystane, pojedeS pro ty nak zvony? Kolaja, starY kapral povida: Pojedu, ale s dobrYina kamarada ma! JO. mu na to: To mosi byt sama rodina, 46.k je nas pet bratrit, a zvonar Kratocnvil pujde take z /lama a jehO Aza,gr Jan BranskY (Rafaj) phjde take.

Sli zinc na ne z bratrem Janern, ale z podfukem. Prvni bylo: Bratre, Ozefe, Kolaja ma vilz, nachystanY. PojedeS"? Pojeda! Tomsu, pojedeS? Pojedu! Franeku poj ede'S? Poj edu!

Bratra, Frariu zme nechali doma, aby no.m nachystal slimy na, zabaleni zvonu.

Ujednali zme, to sa v jedenast hodin zejdem u kanala pod Avestka. Vkci sa v eas dostavili, a byla prisaha: Vkci za jednon°, jeden za vSecky.

Ja, sem bY1 ozbrojenY dvojkii, ne snad' nekoho zabit, ale postraSit. Je iste, to gdyby negdo zaeal po nas stn.lat, 2e by zme mu to neostali c112ni dvojka by svoje udelala. Nahoda, nam dophla, 2e sa nestalo no.

Pracu zinc rozcletili. Bratr Ozef ma p0zemek u riky, tot pujde z Ozefen Bala jit a z Kratinh kopat jamu a my ostatni pojeclem pro zvony. TichYrn hlasero: Na zclar! a Kolaja at s korima vijo k Line. Ticha piseri enom pies zuby zaznela: Ku predu, ku "predu. . Pod kopcem zinc si zaeali to "Zadverana dorna neni, jell do hor na kameni, na karneni, na Slroke, hledat defea modrooke."

Zpivali zinc tichYrn hlasem, ale rozumeli zme Si. StOoi zinc objeli barn cesta a u magacinu: zasta yit stat, tak zinc to umeli, az na dva byli tine sarni vojaci, dyby to cisar pan vedel, jaci zrne verni, iste by ho g Ala.k trefil.

Amot, jakY to uctelalo, cull, aj chlapi, co kopali jamy pro zvony. Tot jeden z nail kupy povida. chla,pi, sic je, pojedem prye, zme prozrazeni. A ja mu

povidam: Chlapi, dyt uz tine tak daleho, ut od toho neuteeern, dybyzme snad' moll aj zivoty pozbyt, tak byzme ich tak lacino neds i l! V tom sa ozval bratr Jan: Zvon ini urazil prst! Ja, mu povidam: Ornoe si to v mai a zavat, g dochotorovi s tYrn nesria!

Zvon spadl akorat ; =mezi zed' a vuz. °stall zme fkci stat potichu jak peny.

Mezi Zadvericama a Lipii letal v zako130 jeden Zadveran, kterY sa bal s nama it (take hrdina!) a pta sa nas: Ut ich vezete? "U2" rekli zrne, ale preca z nama nekl pomoct nam ich zakopat.

VEST/IfIC — WEST, TEXAS

Z pameti prvnich Cesi*h osadnikiii v Texas (Pokraeovani.)

(Pik F. J. Fojtik z Flatonie)

Otec dostal zamestnani hned v Galvestonu u Reimershofferft, neb to byli jeho znami, tez pochazeli z Vizovic na Morave. Tarn pobyl nejakY eas a pak gel do Belly We ku svemu strYci. Byl to Nemec, jmenoval se Bil l °. 11 toho gtipal rygle a konal jinou praci, jak tomu tenkrate na fume bylo. Tarn byl rok a pak Ael do Cistern, kde mei d ye sestry a jine pribuzne.

V roku 1875 olenil se na g strYc Jan Zapalae, vzal si za manZelku Marii Matu• iovou. Svatbu ehtel mit velkou a slavnou a jakoZto tez muzikant, tedy sobe pozval muzikanty aZ z Fayettevillu, kapelu Krenkovu. To byla asi prvni eeska, kapela v Texas. Prijeli hned den pied svatbou a to na vozu a2 z Fayetteville.

V lednu 1877 mei svatbu na gi rodiee a svatbu meli tez velkou, jak to tenkrate bylo mode a jinak se strojilo na svatbu neZ ted'. Bylo zvykem, ze ti co byli pozvani na svatbu, malo kdy davali dary Zenichovi a neveste, ale zato nanesli hodne do kuchyne. To ji2 dva i t11 dny pied svatbou donesii, -nekdo slepice na polevku neb kurata na smaZeni, jini zase krocana neb bust' a teZ i cukr, kavu, vejce, masio a jini pozvani nanesli tak, ze bylo uz z eeho jidla na svatbu chystat, ze .se nekdy vgechno ani neupottebilo. Co zbylo, to pak obyeejne dosta• la nevesta do vYbavy. Svatba obyeejne trvala cely den a celou noc. Taneno se pki muzice na tahaci harmoniku celou floc. Rano uchystali snidani a kdo jeSte mohl, tak je g te taneil. Nekdy se pozdrZeli az i na obed a pak teprve se nadobro roze g ii. V nedeli na to ovgem musely byt jeg te popravky. To zase byla velka, veeeke a taneilo se zase celou noc.

Prvnim rokem naSi rodiee ptebYvali a hospodatili dohromady se statiekem, me 4i toti2Z svatbu 30. ledna 1877. Toho roku v dervnu pri gly kobylky a znicily vgechno co bylo zelene, ano i kiiru se stromil oZiraly, ze v nekolika dnech bylo vgechno znieeno. Kobylek bylo tolik, ze ani vlaky nemohly jezdit. Kobylky nalezly na kolejnice, kde byly pod koly rozmaekany a kolejnice byly jak namazane. Kdy2 spustili lokomotivu,- kola se otdeela, ale byli na miste. Zem byla pkikryta, kobylkarni ze kdy odletovaly, bylo to jako mraena. Jak pole tak i pastevniky zustaly hole jako v zime.

Toho roku nasbirali jen nee° malo ba\Tiny a korna se neudelala Z'adna.

Posledni den •toho roku, toti2 31. prosince zerntel nas statieek Jan Zapalae ve staii 53 let, byv ptect tim dlouho nernocen. Po jeho smrti se farma rozdelila mezi stryce Jana, Zapalaee a nase rod.iCc. DrulaY syn Josef Zapalae, kterY se

narodil zde na -Leto farme a bylo mu 9 let kdy statioek zemfel, a statenka zilstali pohromade na fume s rodiei.

StrYc Josef pozdeji gel do gkol a pak se stal obehodnikem. Nejdrive klerkoval v Schulenburg, pak gel do Weimar, kde si zaiidil svtlj obchodl a tarn se tee olenil, vzal sobe za manZelku Mary Woods.

Pak mel obchod v Cameron, Fort Worth a naposled v Hoostonu, kde zemkel v roku 1911 ye stall 43 let. Starenka na- • dale bydlila u na gich rodiefl a zemkela v roku 1903 ve veku 75 let.

Rodiee naSi ji2 hospodatili za lepSich pomertl neZ statieci. Meli jiz kone do polni prate, ovSem tea voly. Ja sam jsem se s nimi dosti najezdil i naprie pies radky. Jednou se stalo, bylo to v das delani sena, strYc Zapalae mel poseeenou louku a shrabane seno na sva,Zeni, a ae jsme sobe jedni d •uhYm vZdy vypomahali pti sene, tak ja jsem mel narizeno, abych easne rano zaprahnul voly do vozu a pkijel. Kdy'Z se rozednivalo, tak jsem mile voly zaptahnul do vozu a jel, ale musel jsem jet pies pastr, kde teZ kravy byly LIZ yypuStene a Sly na pastvu. Voltirn se asi tez zachtelo pa-1 stvy, tedy to vzali do kalupu za kravami. Jelo to dobke, jenZ to bylo do lesal a jeden strom se yeas neuhnul, tedy vilz; zachytil prednim kolem, retez se rortrhl a voli upalovali za kravami a ja, sedet ye voze, neb vlastne pod vozem.

Tim narazein jsem prelitnul az pled viaz pled oje a tarn jsem udelal "safe landing" y pisku. Dalo ml to hodne prate neZ jsem voly zase ptihnal a zaptahnul a jel. NejhorSi pti torn bylo, ze tarn u2 vedeli, co bylo pkidinou meho zpozdeni. Tedy jsem musel celY den poslouchat- jakesi Spiekovani a vysmivani.

Tim casein uz zaealy pticladzet lepSi rolnicke nastroje jako sazeeky na bavlnu, kornu a jine. Asi v roku 1878 prigel ostnatY drat na ohradeni, co'Z bylo velkou vYhodou, ze kaklY uz mohl svilj majetek ohradit a zaroveri nebylo tolik nebezpeei s ohnem, Z'e plot shoti, jako tomu, bYvalo s tim ryglovYm. StrYc Jan Zapalae zemtel v roku 1919 ye stall 67 let. V roku 1925 zemlel nas otec ye stall 71 let a za rok na to zemkela tetinka Marie Zapalaa, vdova po strYci Janu Zapalaeovi ye .stati 71 let.

Pametnik jeden za druhYm odeSel. 2ije dnes jenom nak matka Anna Fojtik, ktera letos dovr gila 78, rok sveho Zivota. (Psano pled 15 lety.—Redaktor.)

Zvlagtni nahodou je, ze matka slavi narozeniny v tY2' den, kdy americky narod vzpomind narozeni slavneho presidenta Abrahama Lincolna, a b yla natozena v

temZe roku, 1860, co Abraham Lincoln byl zvoien presidentem SpojenYch AmerickYch. Matka jeSte rada vzpomina a vypravi o tech starch zaSlYch easech a nam to zni jako pohadka, mnozi z tech mladYch tomu nechteji ani yelit, ze by to tak mohlo byt pled 70 lety.

Tirnto koneim o tech starch zaSlYch easech a doufam, ze vy, kteti budete tyto tadky eisti, venujete tichou vzpominku tem nagim pionYrum, kteti ptiAli sem pied nami a za tak teZkYch pomeril, stradani a utrpeni nam proklestili cestu k lepSimu a pohodlnejSimtr Zivotu ne2', oni meli tarn za mofem vel stare vlasti. Wive ale ne2 jeSte nadatte ukoneim, napiSij neco z meho putovani na tomto svete hrbolatem.
