SOUTRZ DOPISOVATELIJ '

OSTAL JSEM tento pokyn od bratra, Ho gka, tajemnika tretiD ho distriktu. Radii mi, Ze jestli chef vice dopisovatele do na geho organu, abych vypsal soutei mezi dopisovateli. Mezi jinYm pravil: "Jen se podivej, co Povstato z toho, Ze keditel 8krabanek vyzval nag treti distrikt k soutai a bratr Pokladnik to vYzvu prijal. NebYt souteZe, sotva bychom napsali za etvrt milionu noveho pojigteni."

UvaZoval jsem o navrhu bratra Ho g -ka.Soudim,Zejtozdravmyglenka.

Ale myg lenka pottebuje, aby byla lepgi prostudovana a pak uskutednena.

Bylo to zadatkem roku 1949, kdy psal jsem na Hlavni Uradovnu, zda by mile Urednici a reditele pomohli vybrati dvanact vynikajicich a zaslouZilYch'' elenu, bud' Zijicich nebo ji2 zesnulYch, o kterYch bych mohl sestavit Zivotopisy. Tenkrat mel jsem na starosti jen Cast anglickou. Chtel jsem uvelejnit jednou mesiene jeden Zivotopis.

Nevim, co se prihodilo. Nedostal jsem Zadnou odpoved'. Nebyl jsem tenkrat schvalenY hlavnimi vedoucimi, byl jsem pouze zjednanY TiskovYm vyborem-TneZ se najde lepgi osoba. Proto nechtel jsem sam vybirat onech dvanact zaslouZenYch Menu. Pral jsem si, aby tak bylo uoineno od lidi povolanej gich. Ale \Tee unit:11a.

HISTORIE CHU P {KOVi: R DJNY Na tadost mnoha, po vet§ine naeich starsich Menu, poda.vam nasledujici pfekiad historie Chupikove rodiny, ktera byla uvefejnena v anglickem jazyku ye Vestniku 11. listopadu 1953.

Historie Chupikove rodiny v Texasu (slabikovane pfivodne Chupik v eeskern jazyku) zaeina pfichodem do Texasu TomaSe Chupika a jeho mantelky Roziny (rozene Vitkove), mojich dedeeka z otcoy e strany z HoSt'alkove na Morave a Pavia Sebesty a jeho mantelky Roziny (rozene Pagdoovel, mojich dedeekil z mateine strany, ze Zadvekic na Morave. Morava, ktera je nyni easti Oeskoslovenska, v tu dobu byla easti Rakouska. Po mnohatSrdenni plavbe na plachetni lodi oni stall v Galvestonu v rime roku 1855-56, s vSrpravou nekolika jinSrch eeskSrch rodin.

Z Galvestonu tito novi pkistehovalci byly pteplaveni na velike barce (barge) do Harrisburgu. Harrisburg, kteij' je nyni easti Houstonu, v tu dobu byl pouze vetgi vesnice.

Nejvetei pohnatkou, pros tito Ceti lido pkiAli do Texasu v tu dobu, byla jejich touha vystehovati se do sveta, kde fali, ze si budou moci pomoct hospodak sky, neb dodelati se lep giho tivobyti a lepeich hmotriSrch pomeril, kde by nagli volnost, svobodu a rovnopravnost, ktere, jak oni dobke vedeli, v tu dobu nebyly k dosateni v Rakousku pro obydejne lidi a zvldete ne pro lidi eeskeho pilvodu a jejich vyznani.

Kdyt pkistali v Houstonu, oni nevedeli, co delat, ani kde se obratit. Itoneene se tam seznamili s nejakSrm. Nemcem (Schmidt) "formanem". jak se to v tu dobu po eesky kikalo, kterSr tarn mel nekolik vozu, taterhich volami, na' kterS ich vozil bavinu do Houstonu z Cat Springs. (Za davnSich dob nagi lide tomu mistu Kae-Prink v Austin okresu). Oni udelali s nim domluvu, aby je dovezl do Cat Springs. Kdyt pkijeli k mistu /lade mezi Cat Springs a Millheim v Austin okresu, tento "forman" jich slotil v liveoakovem lesiku, a toto misto byl jejich prvni domov v Texasu.

Neznajice anglickeho jazyka ani zdejg ich poinera, zvykfi a zpilsobil lidi v jejich novem domove a majice malo penez, oni men tkke easy. Aby se uchranili proti prirodnim tivlfn, mutove vybudovali chatree z "lokstr, z haluzi stromfi, jilu a mechu, a v techto chatreich oni ztravili jejich prvni zimu v Texasu. Ponevadt nebyli zvykli takovemu drsnemu zpfisolau tivota, mnoho jich onemocnelo nechlazenim a nekolik jich v kratke dobe zemkelo. S dychtivosti oeekavali ptichod jara v nadeji po mirnejSim poeasi.

Rodiee melt° otce, Chupici, se odstehovali na misto blizko Old Ulm, (blizko nynejSiho mesta New Ulm) okresu Austin.

Tarn mfrj otec a jeho mladei sestra, Johanna, a meho otce nevlastni bratr, pan ElSik, kteremu bylo asi 11 let, vyrostli. V torn miste mtij otec chodil do ekoly po nekolik mesich po dve leta k ueitelovi, profesoru Teichmueilerovi, kterSr v pozdejSich letech stal se velmi prominentnim pravnikem a distriktnim soudcem v okresu Fayette, kterST okres v ponlejSich letech byl mojich rodiefl domovem.

Skola ye ktere profesor Teichmueller 011, se nachazela, v osade obydlene po-nejvice lidmi nemeckeho pihrodu a on ueil v obdu jazycich, anglicky i nemecky.

V tomto okoli otec bydlil s jeho rodiei. Rolnieili velice pri mitivnim zpilsobem, ale tak jak nejlepe mohii. Museli pouZivati doma Mane drevene pluhy, na kterS•rch hfidle byly ude lane z ktive liveoakove haluze, ku ktere byla, pkipravena doma Maria dkevend, radlice, a SpiCe ze Mleza.

Oni bydlili v tomto okoli az po ukoneeni obeanske valky; pak se pfestehovali blizko Wesley v okresu Washington.

Na jaie roku 1856 Sebestova rodina, (rodiee moji matky), pozustavajici z otce, matky a peti synti: Josef, John, Frank, Paul a Tbm, se stehovali z jejich prvniho domova pod terra livoaky mezi Millheim a Cat Springs, na Hiegel v okresu Fayette, asi 6 neb 7 mil zapadne od nynejAiho mesteeka Fayetteville, Texas.

Reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a BENEVOLENT ORDER week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to: OF THE STATE OF TEXAS Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston7, Tex. Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS I :Is

-OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR ONCE IN A WHILE, THE MEMBERS find that the topics under this heading run somewhat in the same direction as the editorials in the Czech part. You wouldn't know it unless you are conversant with both languages. It is not a translation; it is a discussion of the ideas which seem to crowd out everything else from the skull of your editor. * * FIRST, I WISH TO MENTION AN event which one of the reporters aptly named as "Victory Dinner." It will be a dinner given by the organizers of District Three to the organizers of District Five. It' will be held in Dallas on Sunday, March '7. The invitations are being sent out by the officers of District Three.

ANY KIND OF CONTEST GIVES AN enjoyment to the contestants. It was suggested to the editor that he should 'work out some sort of contest among the reporters from the local lodges aind from the districts. After considering the suggestion from different angles, I decided to have a contest of the reporters, starting next week, March 1, and running until December 31, 1954.

• • IT WILL BE A THREE-WAY CONTEST in which everybody may take a part.

It will be a contest of the seven districts.

It will be a competition with no grudging or envy—for a prize and recognition between all local lodges. And it will be a strive of individual reporters to equal or excel one another. « • STARTING NEXT MONDAY, MARCH 1, your editor will keep a score of all reports, announcements, news, and informations from every district, every lodge, and every local reporter. The writing must have some news value to a lodge or to a district. Personal stories, description of visits, travels, gossip, having no value to the activity of the SPJST, will not be counted. You have to trust the editor to be the judge and the scorekeeper. * • LET'S SEE HOW IT WILL WORK. FOR example, take the report of Sister Wilma Nesuda, of Ennis Lodge, in this issue.

She has one report in the Czech section, organizer who doesn't know his own another in the English. She writes about hand. * • the home lodge, and also about the district.

OUR SOCIAL SECURITY Recently, quite a space in Vestnik has been devoted to the comment of, or criticism or both, of our Social Secuirtiy program as presently administered under the law regulating the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and its benefits.

All employees working for wages and those receiving salary as employees in occupations covered by the law herein mention, contribute (now, in 1954) 2 per cent of their wages into the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund for the purpose to pay all the benefits and administrative expenses of the program.

In the minds of some it is a good pro gram with room for improvement. With other it is a sore thumb, and they have much to say about it but do nothing to improve its benefits. All employees should keep themselves well posted on the law reeulal ing the benefits of our social sect:Thy program. Changes come and g o a‘ . they do with life insurance groups following their conventions. Securing st-hand information from the field (Thee of the Social Security is the best 1 1 1,11.lnce against such an unhappy experience of the hypothetical Mr, Smith's visionary maximum benefit of $85 or mere per month as the case may be, when polying for old-age benefit, neither will there be any need to accept caution against kidding ourselves about our tele 1 security program and the "joker,'it harbors. We can, beFore ap plying for benefits, discover how much it is costing us in terms of plenty money when our eligibility to benefits arrives.

What was, the cost to Mr. Smith in terms of plenty money? During the years of 1951 =:2-3 his earnings totaled not less than $10,800. 11/2 per cent of this e urn (during the three years) was de ducted from his wages for social security purpose, a total of $162. In 1954 due to illness no wages were earned. In 1955 due to plain unemployment he lost an opportunity to earn any wages and not until 1956 and 1957 he again was fortunate to earn wages, a sum not less than $7,200, out of which a 2 per cent deduction was made for social security purpose or a sum of $144. Adding $162 plus $144 equals the sum of $306, a total cost to Mr. Smith over a period of ten years. Yes, Mr. Smith may have worked prior to.1950, maybe since the beginning a period of 14 years previous to 1950 and each year he earned not less than $3,000 in wages or a total of $42,000.

MARDI GRAS IN NEW ORLEANS This year, it will fall on the same day —he waits until the day after, until\Ash as Texas Independence, on Tuesday, Wednesday.

March 2. i For more than two hundred years, BIardi Gras is always on Tuesday. It Mardi Gras was observed each year is a French name, meaning literally with music and merrymaking with the fat Tuesday, which is the last day be- exception of the few years during the fore the first day of Lent (Ash Wednes-1 war between the States.

Mothers dress their children as died on the day when the Mardi Gras cowboys, Indians, policemen, ballet girls, was held; he wants to enjoy one more rabbits, and even as pocket editions of celebration He doesn't die on Mardi Gras their grandmothers and grandfathers.

Young ladies sit before their mirrors adding patches of picqua,nt faces framed by conical hats and neck ruffs. Even the poor make up for their lack of costume by turning their clothes inside out and smutting their faces with burnt cork.

Peanut stands with shrill whistles clutter every corner, and vendors hawk big sticks of Swiss candy. Decorated tiers of seats are everywhere, in gardens and before public buildings. Canal St, is roped off to keep the crowd out of the path of the parade.

Most of the older women are dressed in black, which seems strange carnival dress to the visitor. But Creole ladies wear mourning for even the most distant relatives, and, with large Catholic families the rule, nearly everyone has lost some relative or other quite recently.

But wearing black casts no shadow on the heart, for in no other city in the world do older women retain such joy of living, such keen interest in the passing pageant of life, as in New Orleans.

Suddenly the streets resound to cries of "Here they come!" and all necks crane as a line of mounted police swings into Canal St. They are followed by a man who carries a long pole. Held upright, this is just the height of the tallest float, and gives warning if wires hang low enough to decapitate the king or sweep some masker from his perch.

The first float carries a magnificent live ox, rolling in fat; his hooves and horn are gilded, and he 'wears a garland of flowers around his neck. The tradition is that he will be slaughtered that night to provide a feast for the populace just before Lent begins.

It is their carnival, "came vale," which translated into plain English means, 0, flesh, farewell! It is their farewell to meat. The next day is the first day of Lent.

A group of dukes dressed in rich medieval costumes follow on horseback. They wear black masks because it is the tradition that nobody is, supposed to know who they are But some lady sitting in the grandstand is sure to point and say "There's Willie! I'd know his fat tummy among a thousand."

It is also a tradition that no one is supposed to know the identity of the queen until she is revealed in the parade but someone always seems to find out beforehand. Even if some husband does not whisper the information to his wife, to keep peace in his household, there are other signs to read. A solemn group of top-hatted men ringing a certain doorbell a month or so before Mardi

Gras, or the repeated visits of a mother 1 and daughter to a certain dressmaker,' can be a tip-off. Then the news spreads like wildfire.

Floats, maskers, bands, and costumed men pass by all day in a soul-satisfying kaleidoscope of color and noise, dear to the American heart. Mardi Gras has its imitators in parades and carnivals all over the U. S., but none can match the original New Orleans article. Where else could you see a little group of maskers, with cornet, guitar, and fiddle, playing and dancing at the foot of the jail wall, while the inmates gratefully wave their arms through the bars?

Even the women who lose their children in the crowd do not worry. They know that the kindly police will gather them up and take them to the police station, where ice cream and toys are ready for them until they are called for by their parents. Some young couples have even been suspected of leaving their children purposely in the vicinity of kindly looking policemen. Baby sitters cannot be hired on Mardi Gras.

Le the kind-hearted cop do the job.

The afternoon parade is followed by the night torchlight procession and two big balls. Dance follows dance. until, at midnight sharp, a trumpet sounds. All the festivity stops at once. The carnival is over, "Carne vale! Carrie vale! Farewell to flesh!" Lent begins. )• •

Teen Years Are Brotherhood Years (By Chris Comninel) Teen Age Editor New York World-Tele- I gram and Sun • Get a good look at your brother latelyo He gets on your nerves occasionally.

But, you like the guy, His eyes may be blue and yours brown.

His hair sandy and yours black, But, you're brothers and the physical differences don't count You can get awfully mad at him for things he does.

But, never for what he is.

This is all by way of saying that Brotherhood *eek is coming up week of Feb/nary 21 through 28, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. A week when all God's children, teens and adults, are asked to take inventory.

A good bit of backslapping, "you're my buddy" talk will go on during this week.

Take part in it, if you want. The movies and newspapers will be full of it.

But more important than that—much more — is the fact that yours is the age of decision.

I've never met a teen who told a dialect joke with real malice. Or, one who could say with smouldering eyes that he hated the boy he sits next to in class, because his skin color is different.

This is something that comes with age.

Somehow it's easier to blame your troubles with your boss on the fact that you go to different churches, The racial and religious screaming how people of one nationality are always drunk, another stingy; yet another easygoing or lazy, are all cliches that you learn. You're not born with these ideas.

They are hammered into you by bitter, disappointed adults.

If you've learned anything, you know that there are drunks, misers, romantics and lazy people in every race in every country in the world — even in the same families.

The teen years are years are years of brotherhood. Make sure it stays with you.

You wouldn't be human if you didn't gel mad sometimes. Don't feel selfconscious if you get mad at someone of a different religion, color, or belief. As long as it isn't his religion, color or belief that gets you mad.

It's like with your brother. There are times when you'd like to part his hair in a different direction. But he's your brother just the same.

Remember this. In any _hate campaign, those in the majority today, may be in the minority tomorrow. If you've read "Gulliver's Travels," think of the

way the Houyhnhnms, plain ordinary horses, looked down on humans.

Enjoy a good laugh and see the joke of intolerance.

Only advice for the teems during Brotherhood Week is — Stay as sweet as you are! ) SPEAK UP FOR BROTHERHOOD

(By James Kerney Jr.) Brotherhood is like the weather. Nearly everybody talks about it.

There isn't much any of us can do about rain or snow. But there's a lot all of us can do about Brotherhood.

Of course, we pay lip service. We know 'our Constitution give everybody civil rights, including freedom of worship and belief, freedom to think and read and speak. We all speak up for these constitutional liberties. And talk about Brotherhood, just talk itself, is a good thing. It keeps us thinking about our neighbors and it keeps advertising the need for understanding.

We heed to remind ourselves that democracy is a system of free men banded together to keep freedom in a free country. Freedom can flourish only where there is understanding. Prejudices and discrimination, intolerance and persecution exist only where there is norance. That's why talk about Brotherhood is good for democracy.

Beyond talk, there is more we can do.

All over America there are organizations helping ' to spread Brotherhood. There is the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and there are Councils for Human Relations in many cities. There is the great work of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts which helps promote Brotherhood. Giving blood to the Red Cross is Brotherhood at work. For that matter, a simple "hello" to a neighbor is Brotherhood.

This is Brotherhood Week and we are more conscious right now of what Brotherhood means. It will help America and every American to make every week Brotherhood Week.

1 • •T• • ( All you need to get ahead is backbone—and some liniment to rub on it occasionally .—Banking. * * Won't it be wonderful when income taxes get back down where we can afford to make a living?

Usually the man who knows just what should be done expects the other fellow to do it.

We have a new member, Lucy Harms.

We had a '‘)alentine's Party at my house, Friday night, Feb. 5th, which every member of the Youth Club attended. We had a lovely time playing bingo. The prizes were purchased from money out of our treasury.

All the mothers helped serve refreshments, The Fathers came also, and so it was a nice get-together. Every one enjoyed the Valentine party. Hope we have something again soon.

Thanks to all the mothers for baking Valentines cookies and makin gour party possible.

ARE WE GOOD GRANDPARENTS?

Six years ago, when our first grandchild was born, we received a seemingly undue amount of congratulations. When the second grandchild arrived, we took it more modestly and quietly. We thought we graduated from rookie grandparents to more experienced grandpa and granny.

Now, after six .years of trials and errors, we still .question ourselves if we are better trained grandparents. Maybe, you have the same prbblems.

In the February issue of LIFETIME POLKA DANCE LIVING magazine there is an enlightening article written by Harry Mac Intyre CALENDAR on the subject of How to Visit Your (Calvin C.

After all, we're not really —Changing 'Times. visiting socially; the dictionary doesn't

admit it yet, but a synonym for "grandparent" is "babysitter."

Naturally, the children expect presents. The last time we were there, Bus took one look at me, yelled "Pwesent!" and flung himself on a package under my arm. The package happened to be a bottle of hair tonic I'd picked up at the drugstore and it made quite a mess on the floor, Bus thought it was a lovely present.

His sister, being older, was naturally more gracious. She took the doll we'd brought her, thanked us nicely, then took the cowboy gun away from Bus and thanked us for that too. Then Bus took both the gun and the doll away from Ellen. We finally got them separated and happy — Ellen with the gun, Bus with the doll.

My advice is to bring each child the same thing. There are books which list ideal presents for little girls and little boys, but the bald truth is that what every child really wants is whatever some other child has. This changes sometime before they reach 21, but I'm. not at all sure just when.

It is considered nice for grandparents to babysit so the young people can go out for an evening. When it comes to turning their progeny over to you, I have found that parents go through t w o stages. When the first child is young, they leave in a cloud of advice: "If he needs more milk take the bottle on the top right not the one on the top left because that's been there two days and make sure you don't get the nipple with the hole' on the side, but if you do and she doesn't drink too fast hold her over your left shoulder for not more than " etc., etc.

I could remember very little of all this and asked only one question: "Where did • you say the clean diapers were?"

A year or so later the parents enter a new phase — they simply streak away.

Then too, I asked just one question: "Where did you say the clean diapers were?"

But if you have those diapers, you can probably figure out any other problems that come up. If you don't haVe them, no other information can do you one bit of good.

When babysitting, it is customary for my wife to make the children's meals and for me to get the meal from plate to child. Though Bus and Ellen both feed themselves, in a manner 'of speaking, this is no cinch. The last time, Bus, probably stimulated by all the hair tonic he'd licked off the floor, plunged right. in.

MAKE AND SAVE MORE MONEY If you had a dollar for every time you've said, or heard, "We've simply got to cut down on these bills," you wouldn't need this article. You'd be rich.

Today your salary is probably higher than ever. You may even have more in savings bonds, bank accounts or insurance. But despite these things, most Americans are disturbed by the high cost of living.

Taxes and inflation, of course are two big reasons why we find it hard to make ends meet. But the cold, hard fact is that there's a third reason -most of us don't get the most value for the money we, spend.

The check list of questions, which follows, is designed to help you get the most for your money. It is based on the experience of hundreds of thousands of American families. So get a sharp pencil and call the whole family together. Nobody expects you to answer "yes" to all these questions. You'd be a miracle family if you could. But if you use this list as a challenge, set yourself a time limit of a month, six months, or even a year, and honestly try to change a lot of your "noes" to "yeses," you'll not only be beating the high cost of living, but probably will have money left over to afford many of the things you've been denying yourself.

Budget Do you have a budget and do stick to it?

As a guide, the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the average city family, whose income after taxes is $4,300, budgets its money this way: Food and alcoholic beverages, 30%; housing, fuel, light and refrigeration, 26%; gifts and contributions, 4%; transportation, 12%; clothing 12%; personal insurance, 6%; miscellaneous, 16%. The extra 6% is accounted for by 1) Refusal by certain families to disclose all income and expenditures, 2) Borrowing or purchasing durable goods on credit.

Food Do you plan meals for a week or two in advance, to provide balanced diets, take advantage of seasonal items and eliminate waste?

--A,– Are you securing best discounts by buying staple, non-perishable foods in bulk?

Have you checked home freezers, which may repay their cost within a year or two, and which help to eliminate wasts?

Do you effectively use the newspaper ior marketing and food suggestions, and do you shop the ads for values, without

WednesdayrFebrtiary 24;-`1954 eliminating spUrting starts, jolting stops and curb bumping might save enough to pay for a new overcoat, even at today's prices?

Have you checked on lower insurance rates offered by companies in some states to drivers with good safety, records?— Do you see to necessary lubrication and repairs on your car, realizing that defects may ultimately prove costlier or may reduce trade-in value?

Medical and Personal Care When you go to your doctor or dentist, do you ask about costs, rather than go in like a big shot, which often nets you a higher bill?

Do you belong to Blue Cross or other hospitalization plans which can eliminate crippling, unexpected medical bills?-On personal care, have you investigated the new home permanents, coloring preparations, haircutters, etc., and learned to use them properly?

• Recreation When you go to the movies or theater, do you first check reviews to avoid wasting time and money?

Are you using a little imagination to provide family entertainment at home — with books, records and parties, etc.

— far cheaper, than you can buy most entertainment on the outside?

Are yoti aware that many people reduce vacation expenses by going to preferred resorts in the off season, when rates are often 50 per cent lower, or to our national parks, where inspiringly beautiful camp sites are available at small fees?

Money Costs If you have several small loans outstanding, have you considered consolidating them, as do many businesses, with a bank or finance company loan, making settlement of the obligations quicker and easier?

Can you pay for your new car with cash from savings, then make regular payments to your own account, saving the interest?

Are you aware that since loan companies' rules are less strict than banks, their charges are often higher and that ri-k, sometimes legally charge you as much as $24 to $150 a year on a $100 loan?

--Do you realize that you pay extra on sin:is-1, everything you buy on credit?

Taxes It's estimated that nine out of every ten Americans pay more income tax than they should. So, are you recording all deductible spending, which is the bast way to lower taxes?

Away on business, do you keep receipts on long distance phone calls, tele-

V E ST/4TX —VEST. TEXAS grams, etc.; keep a record of tips, cab fares, etc.?

Do you deduct union dues, employment fees, interest on debts, losses not covered by insurance, all business and professional exepenses and local sales' tax?

Do you know that many accountants; prepare returns and advise you of all your legal deductions for a modest fee,. a service which often pays for itself thrice over on overpayment you avoid?

"Did it hum?" he asked solemnly.

"Oh, yes, sir," the boys answered.

"Than," said Darwin quietly, "it's a hum-bug."

That apeared ridiculous to the great naturalist, but no more ridiculous than some of us appear. Every day, men and Women glue mental wings, heads, and legs on themselves in an effort to fool folks. We dress, walk, talk, and act to impress others. It doesn't take an expert to expose our fraud. We fool only ourselves.

Deep friendship and great respect are earned by what we are, not by what we pretend to be. The world is hungry to meet folks who are worth knowing for what is in them, not for what is on them.

Oddli Dopiso vatelsky" Crosby, Texas Dnes je nedele Sedim u stolu a etu dva spolkove organy. Jeden je nag vlastni Vestnik. Ten druhY nebudu jmenovat.

Vlastne nesmim, protote bratr redaktor by mne celY dopis censuroval. Proto musim nenapadne porovnavat d ye bratrske j ednoty.

Myslim, ze nam kdosi potadne glape na paty. Nastehovali jsme svou hlavni iftadovnu do Temple, a zatim jinY bratrskY spolek nam ukazuje, jak bychom meli pracovat tarn, kde je na ge hlava. Ta nejmenovana bratrska jednota poslala do Temple jako odmenu za nejlep gi agitadm dinnost tak zvanY "putujici pohar". Nevim, kolik tadil SPJST je v okoli TeMple dinnYmi, ale tadnY nag tad nedostal onen pohar. To jinY tad jine jednoty upsal v roce 1953 za sto jedenact tisic novella poj igteni..

Kdyt tak o torn uvatuji a atu na g Vestnik, tak nage Jednota je v nekterYch yecech hodne pozadu, ac jsme lacinsi net' jsou jine Jednoty. Na ptiklad jsme se 'Willi organisatory za druhYmi. Jit kolem dvaceti roka mime organisatory a dosud jsme se nezmohli na statniho, ktery by nagi agitaeni praci vedl. Asi te nag statni organisator se je8te nenarodil.

Javert vypadal, jako by pozbYval rozumu, nebot' se mu to zdalo nepra.vdepodobnYm. Slova ta nemene dojala Fantinu, chytla se za kliku aby neklesla, ohliaela se zmamene vilkol a aeptala: "No svobodu?

Fantina, z_aslechnuv g i hlas Javertilv, se zachvela a Austila kliku. Zaslechnuvg i hlas Madeleiritiv, zahledela se na nej a od toho okamaiku tekala zrakem stidave s jednoho na druheho.
