ZA JEDNiM CiLEM HARVATSKA Bratrsk g, JedC nota, ktera ma sve sidlo v Pittsburgh, Pa., a ktera je asi tfikrat vetgi nee nage Jednota, vydava organ pod nazvem "Zajednidar". Tento nazev, pfeldenY do ee gtiny, mohl by 13Yti "Jednotaf", ponevad2 charvatske slovo pro jakoukoliv jednotu je "zajednica".

Kdybychom 'se ptali eeskeho linguisty —jazykozpytce—o vYznamu slova "jednota", vysvetlil by, ze v lidove a hovoroye feei jednota znamena celek, neco nerozdeleneho, nee° drZiciho pohrotnade.

Nebo vysvetlil by, ze jednota je jednomyslnost, svornost, snaha za jednim cilem, vzajemna shoda. A pak by k tomu dodal, ze kaZde skupeni lidi, kde se usiluje o spoleene snahy a zajmy, o pra,ci ye svornosti a shode, nazYva se jednotou. Je tedy jednota v pfenesenem smyslu spolek jako telocviena, jednota, delnicka jednota, hasieske jednoty ye starem kraji, nebo bratrske podpinne jednoty v teto zemi.

KdyZ pied sto lety byl zalden prvni podpOrnY spolek eeskYmi pfistehovalci v St. Louis, byla to jednota—vgichni na pomoc jednomu, jedne rodine, ktera to prave potfebuje. Jednota--za jednim diem.

Vgechny bratrske spolky jsou zaldeny na principu vzajemne pomoci, aby vgichni vypomohli tam, kde a kdy je toho nejvice tfeba. Jede my pomalu zapominame, ze "jednota" znamen g, to charvatskou "zajednicu", za jednim cilem v gichni. Uestli jen nekteti jdou za jednim cilem, 'zatim co druzi jsou lhostejnSrmi, neni jednoty, jakou si pfedstavujeme.

Pfeetete si v tomto disle dopis od tajemnika druheho distriktu, bratra Belieka, kde se . rozepisuje o shovivavosti iffednika, a jak teto shovivavosti znedivaji nektefi elenove, ktefi se take chteji poeitati do skupiny zvane "jednota", a ktefi se svou dust zaklinaji, ze take jdou za jednim el-

lem.

Nagf Jednotu mohli bychom pfirovnati ku stolku o tfech nohach. Jedna noha jsou vgichni eleni. Druha noha jsou mistni rady. Tfeti noha je hlavni fistfedna nebo vrchni vedeni. Oviklejte jednu nohu—a mate celY stolek rozviklanY. KaMY Glen musi miti pocit, Ze on je easti celku, ze on svou malou eastkou spolkove einnosti a svSrm poplatkem do spoledneho fondu pfispiva, k tomu, aby Jednota sla za syYm cilem. Proto je ye stanovach elanek, ze kaldY Z'adatel ma znati zasady Jednoty, ma se obeznamiti, proe spolek existuje a jake vYhody spole6na prate poskytuje. JinSTmi slovy, kaad3-7 noySr Glen ma projiti ur6itYm slavnostnim Ukonem, kteremu fikame uvadeci obfa,d nebo initiate (anglicky initiation), aby byl zasvecen do spolkove einnosti, aby poznal vYznam slova "jednota".

Druha noha toho trinoheho stolku jsou naSe rady, jejich pevnost, jejich slabost, nebo jejich viklavost. Aby se tato druha, noha prilfa neviklala, jsou jista, pravidla, ktera, by mel anal nejen kaadS7 arednik domaciho ildu, ale take kaadY Glen. Pri uvadeni noveho radu do celku, kteremu likarne Jednota, jsou rovnel jiste uvadeci obfady. Neni to nic jineho neZ slib,ze je to pevnYin a upkimnYin v gech elena noveho fadu,ze budou zachovavati stanovy a pravidla celku, a Ze budou dbati, aby jejich domaci fad nezeslaboval celek, ale aby Jednotu zesiloval. 0 tomto uva,dent novYch radu jsou pokyny v naSi obradni kniace. Kdo je zapomnel, nebo kdo by si tyto navody chtel znovu opakovati, najde je na strankach 22 as 27, celYch pet stranek. A kdo chce poznati, jake jsou pokyny a pravidla pro domaci rady, at' sahne po obfadni kniace a pfeete si navody od stranky Seste az po devatou.

diteli. Tato iistfedna ma dvoji funkci-spoleeenskou a obchodni. °be funkce jsou zdfirazneny statnimi zakony. Aby Jednota mohla obchodovati, musi se vest spravne zaznamy a museji se pkijimat a vydavat penize die zakonitSrch predpisa. A aby Jednota mohla operovati jako bratrskYr podpurn3i spolek, musi Jednota miti podrizene rady, ktere se museji schazet pravidelne, museji volit sire aredniky ze s yS7ch elenfi, a museji se vykazovati svou einnosti astredne. Pfedpisy pro astfednu jsou v nanch stanovach, ktere jsou opravovany a upravovanY jednou za etyri roky zastupci ze v'Sech pevnS7ch, neoviklanch domacich Pada.

Take oprava stanov musi se, konati dle statnich zakona nejmene jednou za roky.

A ted' se etenar zepta: KdyZ' je to tak srozumitelne' vymalovano, jedna noha jsou eleni, druha noha jsou domaci rady a treti noha jsou arednici a feditele Hlavni aradovny, tak nac je treba ty distrikty? Kam je dame? Nebo jakou funkci uMime distriktilm?

Jiste mate doma trinohY stolek. Dokud je novY, mffgete na nej lecoss poloZit. Ale starim, zvykem, nedopatfenim se stolek ovikla. Jak ho upevnite? Jednoduge zasadite vezpod od jedne nohy k druhe lat'ky, spojky, nebo aikovne prifiznutou deStieku. Je to nee°, co upevni celou konstrukci stolku. Musite v'aak spoilt vS'echny tf i nohy..

Podobne je tomu se spolkem, kde jednu nohu Ivori ,eleni, druhou mistni lady a treti astredna. Musime je spoilt tak, aby Zadna Cast nebyla uvolnend. Mel by si ka&17 Glen pripomenouti svfij slib, mel

by Si kaZcIST fad zopakovati sve zavazky, a mela by hlavni astredna upevniti vaeVet oporou nageho trinoheho stol- chny spojky, abychom byli celek, kterS7 se ku je Ustfedna se svYmi firedniky a ke- nevikla.

Ve zprive reditelu, ktera bude vytittena co nejdfive, naleznou elenove zajimavou polotku, na kterou redaktor chce jit Ones upozorniti. Pravni radce, bratr Pavlieek, dostal jen asi petinu toho, kolik si nekteki eleni vysvetluji. Az bude uvefejnena zprava fedite10, ti, kdo maji o vec zajem, at' si tpravu prozkoumaji.

Vlastne zpravy rifednik0 a fediteld maji b9ti vtdy prostudovdny velice pozorne.

Jak jinak mohou eleni mluviti o vedeni nebo hospodakeni Jednoty, kdy si nebudou vtimati inednich zprav a kdy si neporovnaji rilzne polotky? Jinak neni tfeba uvefejriovati vtechno do pcdrobnosti.

Take je tfeba, upozorniti na to ie Jednota ma jednu plynovou studni a jednu olejovou. Posledni studne, vyvrtana, v. okresu Wharton, byla uzavfena, rovnet dye studne v okresu Atascosa, Ve zprave fedite1u bude toto• vtechno vysvetleno.

Take tarn bude naznadeno, kolik narokn na mineralni prava ma, Jednota, kde se nalezaji, a na kolika mistech jsou tyto motne budouci zisky umisteny. Oim vice si vtimate Utednich zprav, tim vice znate pomery a majetek, kter9 patki vtem eleniim, a tim vice budete miti zajem o spolkove veci, o vat vlastni dil ye fondech Jednoty.

V anglicke easti tohoto eisla je uvetejnen vYkaz pfispevkii do Monekova fondu od doby, kdy fond byl zaloten. V9kaz fondu byl poslan do tisku pfedsedou Markem. Celkem je ye fondu $1,216.26, z *dehot $1,000 je uloten na firoky a $216.26 je na hotovosti. Nektere obnosy byly venovany do fondu k ucteni pamatky nekter9ch zesnul9ch osob, ale pfi odvadeni vettiho obnosu nebyly podrobnosti udany, aby mohly bYti v fistkedne poznamenany. nejake opravy, laskave potlete je na hlavni kancelak k opravo. Je to prvni zprava od zaloteni fondu, proto , bude nejake pfehlednuti, ktere rifednici radi oprav y. A at budou vtechny ty menti chyby opraveny, pak potleme ritednikUm upominku, aby se do fondu pfidalo, co na sjezdu bylo odhlasovano. Vtclyt' jsme hned jako tkolaci zpivali, ze "na puny v krytem vozu take nekdy trhne. . ." Toto je mineno. jen tertem, a milteme bYti radi, te tfednici v ristfedi vtechno pfesne zanateji. Rubrika Monekova fondu bude od nynejtka stale otevfena, a vtichni darci budou pravidelne katc19 mesic kvitovani.

Hlavni utadayna oceiiuje ten podnik, kter9 byl zapodat jinou sesterskou podpurnou jednotou v Texasu, a kter9 byl pozdeji inkorporovan jako samostatn9 dobrodinn9 podnik. Sestra Hradecka meo podniku zdatily popis ye Vestniku.

Pfitla tet aadost na ristfednu. Kokoliv je pevna nadeje, ae jednou take nat podnik se uskutedni, kdy Cleni SPJST no-

VESTN1K—WEST,TEXIW budou moci se dovolavati aulku jinde, kdyt budeme miti svoje, piece Ufednici uznavaji snahy jin9ch, ktefi jsou jit v popfedi, a odhlasovali dar od SPJST. Zprava bude p•dana bratrem tajemnikern iikedne.

Ze statni university od bratra Mieka pkitlo pozvani na studentskou majovou slavnost, ktera bude konana v nedeli 2. kvetna odpoledne. Mnozi vyslovili polltovani, ze tento studentsky podnik nebyl oznamen mnohem dfive. Prvni nedeli v kvetnu je hodne jinYch faclov9ch ktere musely b9ti projektovany jit pfed nekolika t9dny, takte na dvou mistech y jednu nedeli je nemotnosti. Redaktor sam by se velmi rad zneastnil schilze ex-studentd dopoledne a studentske ipajove slavnosti odpoledne, ale zavazky jeho jsou east° Many tki at test mesicti doptedu, jako na pfiklad zajet.d do . San Antonia 16. kvetna, zajezd do Roweny 27. dervna, a do Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu tfeti tyden v zaki.

Na ptigti nedeli ptipadaji dye distriktni schime. Distrikt prvni ma schtizi v Nelsonville v sini faclu Vesmernost, a distrikt tketi ma schilzi v sini fadu Jaromir ye West. Toto je ptipomenuti vtem . 'elennm a hlavne vtem icadov9m rifednikdm v techto dvou distriktech, te maji pouze tri dny na rozmytlenou, zdali do schrize pojedou. A vlastne jake pfem9tleni: bud' je fifec17. nik takov9m, ktery ma zajem o veci spolkove, dobr9, schopn9, energick9 a vedom9 sveho ritadu; anebo je to iifednik vlatn9, lhostejn9, kter9 jette v tadne distriktni schuzi nebyl a take nebude. TakovY rikednik si ani slova zde napsana nepfeete, aby se na redaktora pofadne dopalil a ukazal mu, te je leptim rifednikem, net si o nem jakysi ekrabalek mysli. Kdyby se jen chtel dopalit. Bez ohne ani kale se neuvaii.

Zminka teditele Holaska o zatizeni knihovny znstala viset ye vzduchu. Nikdo se mytlenky neujal, nikdo se o ni nerozhovotil. Pro mne, kterY jsem kdysi poridil asi 800 svazkil desk9ch knih do mestske knihovny v Houstone, bylo to trochu zklamanim. Je pravda, ae nejsme vtichni stejnYmi milovniky historick9ch pamatek. Ale kdy mame zajem o komicke obrazky v dennich novinach, mohli bychom aspori na oko ukazat, te mame porozumeni pro eteni hodnotnejti.

Jak psala sestra Kraftova, Ceske knihy jsou vzacnosti a snad budou jette vza.cnejti. Snad bade tfeba nekolik jednotichYch nenarodn9ch milovniky literatury a umeleckych pamatek, aby Se mytlenky ujali. Snad v pfitti schtzi dojde na zdrav9 navrh, aby se s veci I zadalo. A jestli nikdo namita, te to jsou) veci, ktere zajimaji lidi, ktefi chodili

V elanku na ptedni stran6 dneiniho disla je zminka o obfadnich knitkach.

U katcleho fadu mei by miti aspori dve knitky, u vettich fadu tfeba tfi nebo etyki vYtisky. Obtadni knitky byly zeny pied testi lety pro pfedsedy, mistopfedsedy, vysloutile pkedsedy a prilvoddiho. Vlastne neutkodi, kdy si obtadni knitku pfeetou take jini Cleni, aby si uvedomili, ze jsou jiste zavazky, ktere katd9 fifednik a katd9 fad ma piniti.

Tam na pfiklad stoji, ae v9sada (charter) mistniho fadu ma vtdy patfiene bYti vyveSena v faclove mistnosti.

Zeptejte se vatich ufedniku, kde je vat charter a. kdo ho opatruje.

Na jednu velmi vYbornou mygleinku mobil by bYti potadatele nebo v9boti distriktnich schuzi b9ti upozorneni. Mytlenka tato byla ponejpr y vyzkoutena ve schtizi prvniho distriktu loni na podzim v Bleiblerville. Katd9 navttevnik vstupu do sine napsal sve jmeno. Zaroveri dostal menti listek z bileho tvrdtiho papiru, na kter9tto listek napsal sve jmeno. Do-, stal take od deveat, ktere byly ustanoveny k registraci, s listkem i tpendlik, aby si cedulieku mohl ptipnout na kabat.

Timto zpiisobern usnadni se pfijemne seznamovani hostii a navttevnikt. Nic neptisobi takove rozpaky jako kdy pkistoupi k yam znama tval, Glen povedom9, ale na jeho jmeno ne a ne abyste si vzpomnen. A aby rozpaky vase byly jette vetti,. onen znamy Clen natahne pravici se slovy: "te si na me jmeno nevzpomenet, ad jsme se jit videli." Redaktoru se to pfihodi o katde distriktni schtizi nejmene petkrat. Motna, ze druzi lido maji lepti pamet. Takov9 listek na kabate by posloutil tem, k.do se Casto nevidi a nesetkavaji.

KaidY distrikt ma. nektere dobre body, ktere mohly by se napadobit i v jin9ch distriktech. Nemuseji distriktni schtize b9ti vtechny na jednu tablonu, dle jednoho vzorku. Tfeti distrikt poridil si prapor, kter9 bude odveden v distriktni schuzi pfitti nedeli ye West. Bude to jiste slavnostni okamtik, pamateeni schtize.

Kdysi za starch dob mnoh9 fad chtal miti svuj vlastni prapor, chloubu Menu.

Dnes u nekter9ch facin neni ani americk9 prapor, aid je to jednim z potadavkil, aby schfize ftcly byla zahajena vzdanim holdu vlajce Spojen9ch state.

Reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston?, Tex.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Postmaster: Please Send Form 35'79 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LOL)GE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THIS TIME, THE EDITORIAL COMments which appear on this page are written right after the meeting of the Supreme Lodge SPJST, while everything is fresh in mind and while the writer is in the frame of mind when words and phrases flow freely. One would think that after a sixteen-hour session the mind,would be fatigued, not capable to function properly. But if the mind is cram-full of new impressions, the thing is to have the impressions and ideas recorded as soon as possible.

Therefore, these lines are written at two o'clock after midnight, thirty minutes .after the meeting of the Supreme Lodge adjourned.

BY WAY OF PREFACING THESE EDItorial remarks, let it be stated that the writer is empowered and authorized to assure the entire membership that there is nd discord in the official family. A report appeared in the Vestnik while the president and the editor traveled in District Four visiting organizers, members, and lodges. We shall not go into the discussion whether or riot the report was justifiable, or detrimental, nor shall we discuss the "why" and "how" of the things. All of that was fully and thoroughly discussed behind the closed door in the Stipreme Lodge meeting. That is the reason the meeting adjourned at 1:30 a. m. Tuesday instead of at 5:30 or 6:00 p. m. Monday. But everything was settled amiably. The ill will, the hurt, and the remarks were forgiven and —let us hope—forgotten. There was a handshake—and plenty of approving applause. It was all behind the closed door. Many misunderstandings were straightened out. That is all that I am going to report. Oh, yes, there was also a promise from the editor; he will lock the side door when he goes out through the front door.

• * ANOTHER QUITE IMPORTANT DEwas agreed on at the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge held last Monday week ago, April 12. It used to be that the supreme secretary had the excerpts of the minutes published in the Vestnik, the parts being exactly as they appeared in the Minute book. This is going to be changed. Although the suCiSiOrl

preme secretary has to write the minutes, he will place in the official paper only the important conclusions reached in the meeting, leaving out all the details.

• THERE WAS A NEW MEMBER INstalled in the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge. Director A. C. Stepan, of Brenham, who succeeded Brother John A. Kubena when Brother Kubena was promoted to the vice-presidency, took his place in the official family for the first time. District One should be congratulated for having two fine men at the helm.

0 * WHILE TALKING ABOUT DISTRICT One, let me remind all local officers and all loyal and sincere members in District One that there will be a meeting of District One next Sunday. Kindly make arrangement to attend this meeting which will be held at the SPJST Hall in Nelsonville. Try to get there so that your lodge would be represented.

So many of the lodges in District One neglect to send their representatives to the district meetings. Your district is composed of the greatest number of the old, pioneering, charter lodges of the SPJST. Your district should be a leader among the districts. But, believe it or not, like it or not, some of the lodges in District One which should be honored and respected for being the charter lodges do not come to the meetings, Your editor attended every one of your district meetings, but he missed your representatives. It does not look good. It does not add respect to your name. It does not speak too well about the officers of your lodge for neglecting this important lodge function. Please try to be there this time, this coming Sunday, at Nelsonville. Make up for what you neglected in the last three meetings.

Please, don't take this lightly again. * o DIRECTOR A. C. STEPAN, OF BRENham, who is also president of District One, is mailing a personal appeal and invitation to every Lodge in District One to come to the meeting next Sunday at Nelsonville. He writes: "Kindly convey through the columns of the Vestnik the message that I wish to extend

an invitation for all members in District • One to be with us in this meeting. This I wish to extend in the name of District One as well as a personal invitation from me. I hope I am not late to place this invitation in the Vestnik next week, as that is the last week before the meeting". Would you see to it that your local lodge is represented at the meeting in Nelsonville this time? Nolice the program in this issue.

DISTRICT THREE HAS ALSO PREpared a very promising program for its meeting in West. The meeting is also this Sunday. It is unfortunate that two district meetings have to be on the same day. Some of the Supreme officers and directors would like to be in Nelsonville and also in West, but there is bound to be some disappointments. Why not select the date of the meeting in advance and advertise it? Should you wish to know the dates cf the meetings in other districts, the exact date and location is listed in every issue of the Vestnik. Two Sundays in October have already been selected.

• • THE EDITOR WISHES TO EXPRESS his sincere appreciation to Mrs. John Svadlenak and also to the publisher of the Taylor Daily Press for the clipping and the cut of Miss Mary Rose Mokolaj who was elected as queen of the 1954 SPJST May Fete. There is nothing more pleasing to any editor worth his salt than to receive a clipping and an engraved block or plate for printing a picture which the printers call a "cut" or a "mat." It is those signs of thoughtfulness on the part of other people which make us feel that we do have friends here and there. Thanks a million. * * LET US SEE HOW MANY MOTHER'S Day programs we are going to announce in the next issue of the Vestnik. Send your announcements as soon as you can so that it would appear at least twice before the event. Your Easter programs did not get enough publicity. *Some of you did not think of it at all, and some of you mailed it too late to do any good.

Such a suggestion runs counter to decent human instincts. Filial piety binds us to our own parents, but it also binds us to our grandparents, particularly when they need our affection and our support. Such is the law of Christianity. Such is also the voice of enlightened conscience. Such is the instinct of decent humanity. )•

The horse drank the beer and when the cowboy brought the bucket back to the bar, 'the bartender said, "I like people who are kind to horses. Let me buy your a drink."

YOUR SOCIETY NEEDS PUBLICITY When the Texas Fraternal Congress held its sessions in Houston last year, your editor was asked to say a few words about the need of publicity for every fraternal organization. These "few words"—as your editor was instructed— should have been about 15 minutes. The talk was published in the Vestnik. Since its publication, I was requested to have it re-printed, not only by our own SPJST members, not for the benefit of the SPJST reporters, but for the information of other fraternalists who get and read the "readable" part of our official paper. So bear with me for the sake of courtesy to others, And, maybe, you will read it for the first time.—Editor.

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 you can learn without too much time or trouble. Your society needs publicity.

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

You can do publicity work if you like people. If you are an extrovert, you find it easier to like people. Publicity work is working with people,liking people, from the beginning to the end. It is the members who are with you on the Publicity Committee; it is the editors of your local papers and the editor of your fraternal magazine; it is the reporter of your local organization and the reporter of your city paper; it is the photographer; it is your good friends who don't want their pictures in the newspapers when you think those pictures are necessary; it is your good friends who do want their pictures in the newspaper when you can't put them in; and it is many other people, too, all of whom have to be treated with tact and diplomacy. ,Let us see how you work with these people; .the publicity committee, the editor, the reporter, the photographer, the members who want and who don't want to give you their pictures.

You may or you may not have the Publicity Committee. Once you get it, you may find that it can function in a worthwhile manner. Once you get it, The Publicity Committee is an institution spelled in capital letters, an institution that is here to stay. Let us suppose that you are the chairman of the committee, and that 1 ott have appointed its members to serve with you or you have been presented with its members when you acquired your chairmanship.

But whether you inherited or appointed the Publicit y Committee, you will find

that you usually have various personalities on your committee.

You may find serving with you a person deserving of great respect because of a community-wide reputation in his or her special field. You may quote this person with the greatest of easy and safety—provided you quote him or her exactly in the same words or phrases he or she tells you.

Also, serving with you, there is the willing worker, who doesn't mind working late at night; doesn't mind traveling miles to the meeting; doesn't mind performing every little or big task cheerfully and willingly; because the member loves to be on the Committee and do somthing worthwhile.

Also, you may have on your Committee Serious Sam or Serious Sue, who mean well, but who think that the world takes the publicity job too lightly, and that even the Committee does not discuss everything in detail as it should be.

•Let's now discuss another group which is to help you in your publicity — the editor of the local paper or the editor(f your fraternal publication.

Every time your society or the local unit of your organization meets, or every time you plan any activity, you have news for a newspaper story. Action or plans tor activity is news. Every newspaper .story is publicity. When your society gets public attention, it is publicity.

Publicity can accomplish almost anything you set out to do. But you must understand the guy who is called the editor. He wants news. You want publicity, Whether all publicity is news is a question which he himself likes to decide. Your job is to report every activity of your society, regardless of how routine it may seem to you. It does not have to be a column-length story every week or every month. Adopt your own rule and stick to it faithfully. If your organization has grown languid and spiritless, even those short reports that find their way into print are wonderful shots in the arm.

paigns; meetings regular or special; mother-daughter celebration; opening of clubhouse; open houses; plays, redecoration or remodeling of the clubhouse; society's 100th, 200th, 500th or 1000th members, at the time he or she is taken in; speakers at the meetings; talks delivered by your society's members before another organization.

You write the stories about these happenings 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 your 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 about your piece of writing.

Recently, a good friend of mine resented very much my request that his copies should be double-spaced, and with margins. Pushed by the deadline, the editor may not have time to retype the stcry or the report.

If you wish to retain the good-will and the high regard of the editor, you must have your stories typed, preferably on standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch typewriter paper, and you must type them doublespaced. Use only one side of paper Sometimes the editor may want to paste up your story on copy paper.

Make your stories easy to read. Avoid long sentences. Keep sentences short Prefer the simple to the complex. Write "try to find out" rather than "endeavor to ascertain". It is hard to read "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny". It makes no sense to most of us. In the time of Bill Shakespeare, simple sentences averaged 40 to 60 words. 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.

Here are some of the things which never get into print unless the publicity chairman or the society reporter charged with publicity is on his or her toes: announcement of contest rules or contest winners: announcement of program; appointment of committees; awards of scholarships; annual reports; . banquets; benefit luncheons; concerts; delegates going to district meetings, state meetings or conventions; donations by society: election of officers; honor guests, initiatim of n c w membership cam-

If ycu had from six month's 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?

traria 14 Where? Why or How? Answer your questions in the order of importance.

Let accuracy be your Golden Rule.

Check and recheck your facts before you write your story. Be especially careful about the spelling of names. Many a Mr. 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 tombstons, a sort of editorial habit. Print all proper names, if you don't type.

If you are sending in pictures for publication, paste a strip of paper across the bottom of every photograps. 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 cf 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, 1. gically, 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 you want to give publicity to three grandfathers of your society.

Now, if you have a charming, eighteenyear-old granddaughter in the picture, listening to her grandpappy, the editor may be interested in your photo. Or there is your ex-president, Mrs. Browne, who ha s been a hard-working, loyal, and faithful members of your society. She deserves to have her picture in the local nIewspaper without shenanigans. The editor will agree that Mrs. Eirowne 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.

Perhaps you live in a small town where the local newspaper is a weekly.

You know the editor. You grew up with him. The operation of every newspaper is essentially the same. The'suggestions on Pre paring the stories for print are the same whether you live in a small town or deal, with a metropolitan paper, There is only this exception: in a big city you are more likely to deal with a reporter than with a city editor.

STORY OF THREE U.S. DOCUMENTS There are three basic charters of American freedom—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the first ten amendments to the Constitutkon known as the Bill of Rights.

During their existence of over a century and a half the Declaratiop, the Constitution, and the Bill of nights have been subjected to considerable travel and wear. Before 1786 the Declaration had already followed the frequent moves of the Continental Congress, making in all 9 journeys to 8 different cities or towns. The Constitution, after its signing in Philadelphia in 1787, had been taken from there to New York, where Congress was in session..

On September 15, 1789, Congress, still in New York, ordered that the newly created Department of State should have custody of the Declaration and the Constitution.

A year later these documents, along with the Bill of Rights and other records, were taken from New York to Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the Federal Government. It was the enrolled original of the congressional resolution—the Federal Government's official copy of the Bill of Rights — tha.t made this journey. Thirteen other copies, also written on parchment, had been transmitted to t h e States for their ratification.

In 1800, by order of President John Adams, the three great documents and other Government records were sent down the , Delaware River and by sea to the new Federal City in the District of Columbia. They remained in Washington until the wartime summer of 1814. Then, while British troops were marching on the Capital, Secretary of State James Monroe ordered an emergency removal of the Declaration, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other records in his custody. Packed in linen bags, they were hidden overnight in an old barn on the Virginia side of the Potomac and•the next day were taken to Leesburg, Va. There they stayed until the British raiders had left Washington and the fleet had sailed down Chesapeake Bay. As pieces of parchment the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are today in better -condition than the Declaration. After 1814 the Constitution was kept in the State Department until 1921, and the Bill of Rights remained there until its transfer to the National Archives in 1938.

The Declaration of Independence, however, suffered further handling

and exposure. From 1841 to 1894 it was exhibited, apparently with little concern about the likelihood of its fading.

For the first 35 years of this period it hung in the Patent Office Building in Washington, opposite a window and exposed to sunlight; it was then shown in Philadelphia at the centennial of its signing; and soon after that it was displayed in the State, War and Navy Building in Washington. ,-The last was a timely change from the Post Office Building; a few months after the document was removed, the room in which it had hung was gutted by flames.

Moreover, the Declaration was subjected to the making of several facsimilies, before the day of the photoengraving process. In 1818 and 1819 engravings of the text of the document were made and published with facsimilies of its signatures. It is not definitely known that the marked fading of these signers' names is due to the making of these facsimilies, but certainly the signatures have faded more than the rest of the document. Possibly the ink used by the signers of the Declaration was of poorer quality than that used by the engrosser and consequently faded more during the long exposure to sunlight in the Patent Office Building.

At any rate, it is almost certain that a facsimile made between 1820 and 1823 did impair the whole document. In 1820 Secretary of State John Quincy Adams commissioned William J. Stone, "a respectable Engraver," to make a facsimile of the Declaration. Presumably Stone, following the practice of the day, actually transferred some of the ink from the parchment to the copper plate in which he etched the image thus transferred. The copper plate was later bought by the State Department and is now in the National Archives.

Almost 120 years after the Declaration was signed, the State Department decided that the document should no longer be handled or exhibited. It announced in 1894 that the parchment had been "carefully wrapped and placed flat in a steel case." The Constitution was protected in the same way. In 1903 a committee of the National Academy of Sciences approved these precautions and recommended that the Declaration should never be exhibited. . Another committee of scholars examined the Declaration and the Constitution in 1920. This committee reported that the safes in which the documents were kept were of sheet steel too thin to be fireproof; it also reported its belief that exhibiting the parchments

would not damage them further if they were _hermetically sealed and protected against strong light.

In the following year the State Department transferred the Declaration and the Constitution to the Library of Congress. The two great documents were exhibited in the Library from 1924 to December 1952, except for a period during World War II, when they were safely stored in the bullion depository at Fort Knox, Ky. In 1951 the Library, with the aid of the National Bureau of Standards, further protected the documents by sealing them in glass enclosures filled with helium, properly humidified, and placing these enclosures in shrine cases fitted with special glass to screen out damaging light rays.

When the National Archives Building was constructed, its Exhibition Hall, was designed to display these early documents of our Government, and the murals were painted as fitting accompaniments to the Declaration and the Constitution. In the spring of 1952 Congress through its Joint Committee on Archives shculd have custody of the the Library directed that the National Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and in the following December they were transferred to their present location. The National Archives has sealed the Bill of Rights in helium and has provided filters in the glass of the shrine cases in which the documents are now displayed.

Under the floor of the Exhibition Hall a vault has been construdted of steel and reinforced concrete. Into this vault the three encased documents, with their supports, can be quickly lowered by an electrically operated mechanism. Other machinery then closes over the vault a massive lid of metal and concrete. Provision has been made for manually operating the mechanisms to lower the documents and cldse the vault should electric current fail. The vault itself is fireproof, shockproof, and bombproof. Such are the precautions taken to guard these precious charters of iberty, the heritage and pride of the American people. )• 4 + "Business ethics," the car dealer told his son, "is something you couldn't do without.
