Jeete nezmizel jezdec zraktlin a ji'Z viadykove za nej risilne prosili; take dvokane se po takovemto divu snaZne pkimlouvali, a Kiesonly,,I jich neoslySel. Ihned poslal na Neurnetely za Horymirem, aby se hezpeene navratil, ze je mu vkchno odpuSteno. I pkikl druheho dne, ale na jinem koni, ne na Semiku, a pokokil se kniZeti. Kdy2 pak se ho kniZe otazal, kde ma 8emika,, vladyka smutne odpovedel: "Tam doma mne velmi teskniv stoji, neb tim nemirnYm skokem si hrube ubliZ11."

Horymir nemel na Vy gehrade 'Zadneho Pkizeri sameho kniZete, pkizeri dvokand ho tu neudrZely. Mysl jeho byla, u verneho Semika. Jak jen mohl, poklonil se kniZ'eti a dvotanfun, vzal odpuSteni a pospichal bez oddechu, kone neSetke do sve dediny, kterou deled' po svem rozptYleni se vrativSi znovu budovala.

Navrativ se do Neumetel, pkimo divatal ke svenau milemu koni. Ten leZ'e, nemoha, jiz stati, oznamil svernu panu, musi sp ilt, a prosil ho, aby, as zhyne, nedal ho ani ptaktim, ani drave zveki na pospas, ale aby ho dal pied vraty sveho dvoru Horymir velmi zannoucen -deck° slibil a talc) se s 8emikem loueil. A kclyZ milt' kun zdechl, stalo se jak byl 1-Iorymir ho zahrabal v decline, a po dnegni den ukazuji tam misto karnenem oznakene, kde vernY 8emik byl pochovan.

(BeckovskY vypravuje dle stare povesti, ze na Zlichovskem vrchu "po leve strane jdouc od Prahy do Zbraslavi, spatkovaly se tehoZ kone (Semika) Slapeje v torn miste, kde nyni stoji okrouhlY kostelieek sv.

Filipa a Jakuba,". OkrouhlY ten kostelieek zanikl, nynejAi je z osmnacteho stoleti.

V Neurnetelich chovaji '8emiktiv hrob velke vaZnosti. Nikdo se ho nesmi nesetrne dotknouti, nebot', taka, jest stara povera, stihlo by colou obec velke nebt(,ti, kdyby hrob ten byl port gen. Kdy'Z v letech SedesatYch minuleho veku jeden pralskY archeolog chtel Semikuv hrob prozkoumati, sbehlo se veechno obyvatel.stvo a nasilne archeologa odehnalo. Na nahrobku Semikove je napis: "Zde v Neumetelich se vekilo a veki, ze tu vernY kun rytike Horymira, zakopan leM." V kameni, nad nim se pomnieek zveda, vidi mnozi podobu koriske hiavy.

Dne 12. kvetna byl uverejnen elanek, ze "mnohS# start elan si fekne, co z toho main, .ge Jednota roste, kdy g stejne musim platit jak jsern pla,tival". Ano, jestli si to ti naai stafi eleni tak mysli, ja, myslim, ze oni maji skuteenou pravdu.

Ano, oni mene platili, ale zato zase vice aetfili. A jak vaichni, mill bratfi a sestry, dobre virne, tenkrat pro ne mel dolar vetai cenu ne g pro nas ma nyni deset dolara.

Ano, maj otec Josef Havel st. byl teg

Straw.. 7 jeden ze zakladajicich elene jeclnoty.

Aekoliv tenkrate jsetn byla male devee,, ale dobto si pamatuji, jake mel tale" starosti, jestli se kdy pfece nacre Jedraita zmage a jestli ji tak maid hrstka elene dokage udrgeti. Ano, tenkrate jich byla mala hrstka, ale dokazali udelati velike dilo. Mezi nimi nebylo sebemen gi zaqi, nespokojenosti a nenavisti. Jejich heslo byl Bratrstvo, davera, uptimnost a sehe zapfeni.

Ano, kdyg , za,kladali naai Jednotu, nemen dobre vybudovane budovy, jako nly je nyni mame. Dobfe si pamatuji, ge zprvu konali v domovech elenii, ale zato tam nikdy nechybel ani jeden elen, kolik eerie meli v fade, tolik dent bylo ye schazi. A gLinS# na to nebral ohled, ge jeho nohy boll od chozeni po celY den za pluhem, jak pfigla nedelni schfize, kag dS# s radosti gel a hledeli jejich zapoeate dilo konati v jednom celku.1VIej otec mel 3 1/2 mile do budovy, kde se pak konaly schtize, ale vgdy ael peaky, neb tenkrate se jezdilo korimi, a kdy g se cell tYden delalo temito koala* tak hospodaf jim chte/ v nedeli dati malt' odpoeinek.

Kdyg tito bratfi a sestry delali spolkoyou slavnost, tenkrate si nemohli fici, ge si vezmou penize ze spolkove pokladny, ponevad g jich tam nebylo.

Aekoliv to dobu to byla velika vzacnost, kdy g si 'elan mohl zajeti do vzdalenSrch fade, ritraty si musel platit sam, tak si to malokdo dovolil, ale kcly g se tak stalo, byl skuteene s laskou prijat a pohosten mezi eleny.

Nemel jsem to pote geni je ptivitat aneb jen uvidet, neb moje telesna schranka se valela v tu dobu na posteli v Memorial nemocnici. Odpoledne v nedeli mne naygtivil v nemocnici br. Franta VeselY, jednatel Telocviene Jednoty Sokol v Corpus Christi, a talc mi osobne sclelil, jake mile hosty jsme u nas v Sokolovne meli.

Take sestra V. fialova s jeji dcerou mne v onu nedeli nav gtivily a sdeloyaly, jak br. Hala, jeji mug, ptigel k poraneni na noze nad kolenem pti seeeni travniku gasolinovYm pohonem. On, bratr V.

Ptejeme jemu v gichni, by to nebylo nic va gneho a aby mohl nadale cyleit a zadastnil se vetejneho vystoupeni v den sletu po boku svojich dvou cvieicich synti. Prave jsem dostal telefonni zpravu, ge br. Hala je O.K.

Pane to napsal br. redaktor Vestniku 5. kvetna 1954. On totit take poznal na sobe, ze elovek nechce ve svem staff klesat myg lenkove. Musi stale miti na 'Cern opravdovy zajem a musi bYti spoleeenskYrri tvorem, dokud mu poktivene, stare a ktehke kosti dovoluji.

Take za zminku stoji vYnatek elanku, jen byl pied nedavnem uvetejnen v "Sokolu Americkem", organ to Americke Obce Sokolske, vychazejici v Chicagu. nek zni: "Jegte neni pozde: Kdo se Sokol citi, necht' se prate chyti.

Nage cesty se mohou raznit, ale cii mame mit stejnY. Timto cilem se vyrozumiva, ge pokud zde gijeme, mama se vynasnagit, aby nag sousede jinonarodovci meli k nam Uctu, a to pekne jmeno po sobe zanechali, ge eeskoslovenskY ptistehovalec budoval nejen fanny, mesta, cesty,

Stavel spolhove sine, Sokolovny, kde pod vedenim obetaveho naeelnika inlade2 dostala nejen telesnou, ale i duAevni vYchovu.

Vzpominam na rok 1903, kdy bratri Hamuskovi, kteri prijeli z Kromerik, zaloZili•v Cameron, Texas Sokola, a kdy jeden z techto bratrtl, Anton Hamusek _si nakl druZku Zivota v torn mojem, bY yalem bydliSti pri Buckholts, tak se tam usadil na fame rodierl jeho manZ'elky, u Tom t ajiektl.

Bylo to doprima dobrou jednu mill, chodil jsem tam pesky do cvieeni a na cesty jsem se vZdy stavil pro. mojeho dobreho kamarada, kterY take cvieil, Jan Jurea, kterST fgak v rote 1913 zemiel.

Tam u Zajlekti v nedeli odpoledne bylo y2dy lidu pino, jak na pikniku. A my zaeateenici se pH nepodatenem vYkonu stycleli 'arced tolika diyaky. Cyieici pozilstavali jen z dorostencil a i dospelYch 2' enske druZstvo v tu dobu necvieilo, ty si nas z povzdali jen okukovaly.

Mnohemu jsme se nautili, jako na pHklad prime umet se Sikovne do rady postavit, hlavy vzhtru, prsa yen, .bricho stahnout. Naudit se pochodovat, na raz vykroeit. Povely prijimat beeodmlouvani, ueit se dobrovolne kazni a rozumet pohledu naeelnika.

KdyZ' jsme cvieili na naradi a tam vynechali jen jeden vSrkon, on nas na to vkly upozornil slovy: "Ne'Sidit". Jemu velice na torn zaleklo, mit ukaznene dru2stvo cvieicich a mel velkou radost, jeho dilo se mu darilo a -v§c , pekne klapa.lo. Ucil nas zpevu, a my za zpevu pochoclovali, a kdy jsme byli unaveni, tak jsme cvieeni a zpevu necliali, a to yZdy u Zajlektl v jideine na nas eekala bobata svaeina, kde vSichni se mohli zdarma nasytit. To tam bylo po nekolik rokil a nevim jak mohli u Zajlekii to tak dlouho vydrkt. Tolik lidu hostit zdarma. Nemyslim, .2e to bylo nem jineho neZ laska a nadg eni k sokolske oinnosti, ktera jim dayala ,odmenu za vSe to, co v osade bylo podniknuto pro dobro mlade& a spoleeenskY Zivot, a k tomu se druZila Stedrost, rekl bych obetava pohostinnost.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Etr/na 1.1 Reports from Lodges, blograptuest 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.

Postmaster: Please Send Poem 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IN THE PRECEDING ISSUE OF THE Vestnik, Brother R. A. Urbanovsky, financial secretary of the Supreme Lodge, published the annual statement of the SPJST for the year of 1953. It may have not attracted your attention. Yet, every member , and especially every officer, worker and organizer should look at the report. There are the figures, to be true.

But there is something else behind those figures which is far more interesting.

Let's see some of the curious facts.

THE ANNUAL STATEMENT REVEALS that the net gain from operations in 1953 was $105,000.00 The SPJST paid to members nearly $201,000 in death benefits, and $24,000 in other benefits. Our actuary set aside additional , $354,000 in reserves; Definite sum of money must be put in reserves every year to take care of the future obligations that the SPJST has toward its members. If my calculation is correct, en January 1, 1954, we had 26,357 certificates or 24 and half million of insurance in force. We could easily figure out the cost of management per $1,000 insurance in force.

• • WHAT SPEAKS WELL OF MANAGEment is the fact that the net gain, day by day, and every day, was appriximately $287.00 clear net to be added to the strength of the SPJST, or about $8,750 net gain every month, making it $105,000.00 in the year of 1953. Naturally, this net gain did not come from members only, or from their monthly dues, as someone may wrongly assume. The SPJST, realized some interest on its in vestments. The interest was nearly onehalf of what the members paid in dues.

If you are curious to know the exact figures, reach for the annual statement.

The interest rate for the SPJST in 1953 figures to be 4.07%.

WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT cf finances for 1953, you may wish to know how well we managed in membership of adults, increase in junior membership, and the gain in insurance. We did better than in any previous year.

Net increase in total certificates in 1953 was 935 certificates. We could have easily secured 65 more children at the rate of 40 cents a month, if we only realized

how close we were to the one-thousand should. We still leave our eight chilfigure of net increase in total certifi- dren, our twenty-three grandchildren, cates.

Our Youth Movemen 6„3y birdie caeilsher Again I had the privilege of attend. ing the mid-year meeting of the National Fraternal Youth Counselors Association held in Chicago on May 12th, the Fraternal Field Managers Association, on May 13th, and also the Fraternal Insurance Counselors Association on May 14th all held in the Congress Hotel. It is always a pleasure to represent our S. P. J. S. T. Organization at these conventions and be able to gather data and information pertinent the advancement of our Youth Movement, a subject in which I am foremost interested. It is always delightful to meet with the different national directors and counselors and discuss youth problems, exchange ideas and information. It may be of interest to you to know how well known and closely watched is the progress of our S. P. J. S. T. Youth Movement. I was greatly, surprised at the questions directed to me concerning my programing and activities. As your representative at this gathering, I was honored with the request of addressing the membership of the meeting and in my speech, I stated with pride the advancement hi our Youth Movement made since the last meeting in May, 1953. Attending delegates were greatly surprised at the success which we had attained in such a short time with my Programs, and the gratifying results we achieved in the re-capturing the interest 'of our youth.

Almost everyone asked for my SPJST. Programs and copies I had with me Went from hand to hand during the Convention days. Evidently my programs designed exclusively for the interest of our children is a unique attempt in the efforts of recaptufing and retaining our youth in fraternal orders, by giving the children the activities which they like to do, which interested them, and makes them stay with our organization. was complimented again and again by • attending officials and speakers for directing my programs from the childs' point of view, instead of the adults which is not shared by, or interesting to the youth itself.

In listening to all the speeches and the troubles of the speakers and youth counselors and directors, I have reached

Some organizations teach Charm to their girls, others Scouting to their boys, Camping and Firearms, Crowning of 'Queens is a special event in others, making dolls of different nations and selling them fin' support, organizing Mother's Clubs to help with the youth activities, establishing chilrens orchestras or brass hands, choruses and drills and plays that would appear on programs advertising their organization, and numerous other activities were mentioned during the convention proceedings—some of these activities being practiced in our organization for a long time.

All in all attending the conferences and discussions with the different counselors and directors, makes for a better understanding and self-assurance of ones own ability in handling the Youth Counselorship to the best advantage of the organization.

The featured speaker was Dr. Preston Bradley, a world reknown authority on Youth and its problems, and in his address' "The Importance of Working With Youth", he specifically stressed the importance of introducing fraternal life to the children in their earliest youth and thereby avoiding many problems of child delinquency and also of chanelling the activities of the children through programs designed from the childs point of view of enjoyment, in order to retain the children's continued interest in fraternalism. He also elaborated On the responsibility of the parents in preventing and abolishing Youth Delinquency problems by not only devoting more time to the children but also by being more interested in and participating with their children in their activities through the Youth Movement. I felt very lionore'd to be complimentary referred to

by Dr. Bardley and other speakers on several occasions in their speeches by having my ideas quoted and my work exemplified.

More and more it is becoming evident as I have stated in my editorials so many times before that the organizations of tomorrow depend on our Youth of today. The Fraternal Orders are acutely aware of the "danger signals" of Youth straying away from the parent organizations and that without "this Youth" —their organizations are doomed. The desperate search for capable and competent youth counselors, to revive, save, and absorb their youth was very much in evidence in my visits at the different organizAion headquarters in the past.

one conclusion, a fact which I have stated so many times before that an effective Youth Movement can exist only if buttressed by a score of efficient organizors acting as Youth Directors.

This is logical as it is the organizors who derive financial reward from their activities and therefore are fundamentally interested in promoting a larger membership which in turn guarantees the continuity of their income. What better way do they have of contacting new prospects than through the children, their whole families, and all tilt childrens' friends who find enjoyment in our S. P. J. S. T. Youth Movement and have the desire to be one of us. In our own organization where we have efficient Youth Directors, for them to reap tlfe full benefit of their labor and expended time, I would again most urgently suggest that they become fullfledged organizors to receive a financial reward for their work. Where we do not as yet have a Youth Director, I would most sincerely recommend to some progressive and enterprising organizor in that lodge to accept the position of a Youth Director and by devoting some of his time to the security of the progress of the S. P. J. S. T. through the Youth Movement, he for himself would make beneficial gains. In any event, the Youth Director and the organizors in every lodge having so much in common should always work closely together for their mutual success and benefit.

"Let's take care of our Youth today-And have no worry of Tomorrow."

In all truthfulness, I cannot report anything new of interest to you from the convention halls, that my programs did not already contain or sponsor. We seem to be further advanced and so much more successful in our Youth Movement than many other organizations as we do have our own lodge halls, our Youth, Directors, intelligent membership, and our Youth—and efficient and well-directed pr: grams; however, we must strive for more cooperation and (To be continued) unity of effort, because we cannot stand ._) • 4 • ( still—for to stand still means to go backward and eventually die.

V S T 141 K WEST, TEXAS

A conference was held by the representatives of District Three and Dis' let Five, after the meeting in West, Sunday, April 25, for the purpose to invite every SPJST organizer in all the seven districts to a friendly contest to see what district would secure the highest percentage of new members.

This contest of third and fifth districts against all other districts should find all of us ready to assist and help our organizers wherever opportunity arises.

The rules of the contest would be simple. The organizers in each district would try to increase the number of new members and new certificates on the basis of the present number of members in their respective districts. The increase would be stated in percentages.

Each districts would be raising its own number and figure its own percentage.

Every organizer should feel the importance and advantage of this type of contest. If a majority of organizers approves this plan, the contest will start on June 1 and will end on. August 31, 1954: Kindly send your approval--to the delight of the entire membership of the SPJST to the .Secretary of District Three: L. 0. Hosek, Route 1, Grapevine, Texas.

This Week In American History On June 3, 1808, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, was born in Abbeville, Kentucky.

After graduating from West Point, he entered the army and took part in frontier fighting against the Indians. Some years later he served with distinction in the Mexican War. He was a United States Senator from Mississippi when the bitter national controversy over states' rights and slavery was approaching its climax, but resigned his seat as the southern states began to secede and prepare for the conflict immenent between the North and the South. Elected President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis was charged with organizing all the military resources , of the seceding states and was among the last to 4dmit the defeat of their cause. He was taken prisoner after the Civil War ended and charged with treason, but was never brought to trial. He was included in the General Amnesty of 1868.

On June 6, 1944, just ten years ago, 4,000 ships and thousands of planes carrying American, British and Canadian troops and units from other Allied countries crossed the English Channel to the Normandy peninsula. It was the greatest amphibiousand airborne landing in military history. Landing craft disgorged troops on the beaches from Le Harve to Cherbourg; airbourne troops parachuted down to the Normandy countryside. The losses were heavy, since the Germans were strongly entrenched and it was some weeks before the Allies could secure the beachheads. Once they had &tie so, 'they began the offensive that slightly more than eight months later ended the European phase of World War II. The decision to launch the longspeared invasion of Normandy was made

"Her evening gown," said one, "was a metallic brocade, had a braided bow, with inverted gores and full sleeves."

When she stopped for breath the young man broke in: "I wonder if you could sell me a neat purple stamp with perforated hem, steel engraving, and the whole back treated with a coating of lovely mucilage and costing three cents?"

TEXAS INSURANCE FRAUDS In the Time magazine (May 31, 1954 issue), an article appeared which will interest many of our readers. It describes the Texas insurance mess and the operations of the "fly-by-night" insurance. Representative Reuben Talasek, a member of Temple Dodge No. 87, had a report on the promoting insurance companies in the Vestnik about a year ago. The Time magazine writes: Texas, which places a premium on superlatives, has the worst insurance laws in the nation. Because of poor enforcement, anybody in the state who can get a short-term loan for $10,000 can start an insurance company. There is nothing to prevent a promoter from writing up his assets far beyond actual value and, on this inflated base, selling stock and insurance. By such devices he can build a company up from nothing, sell out and take a capital gain. For these reasons Texas now has 1,884 insurance companies, more than all other states combined, and insurance is the state's second biggest business ((after oil). Many of the promoters, for lack of a better corporate name, borrow a respected one from Britain: Lloyd's. In the last 16 months ten Texas insurance companies have have gone broke; others are tottering. Last week, to nobody's great surprise, the Texas insurance mess was finally cracked wide open. District attorneys from four counties called for criminal prosecutions of get-rich-quick insurance promoters.

Storm No. 1.—The storm first struck when the State Insurance Commission disclosed that Houston's big, two-yearold Lloyd's of North America was operating at a $427,000 deficit. After looking into Lloyd's books, the commission decided that the company had been "utterly and hopelessly insolvent from its inception." It found that Ralph W. Hammonds, an 'ex-Olympic wrestler (1928), had borrowed $20,000 to start Lloyd's, added $20,000 of his own, sold more than 50,000 policies his first year, and paid back his loan with part of the $17,00,000 he collected in premiums. The commission also charged that Hammonds had included $5,750 of real estate in his assets and written it up to $42,000.

Ex-Wrestler Hammonds, it turned out, paid John Van Cronkhite, Governor Allan Shivers' last campaign manager, $1,000 a month for advice on "public relations." Hammonds said he hired . Van Cronkhite at the suggestion of Governor Shivers' executive assistant. Van Cronkhite was to "keep cordial relations with the State Insurance Commission," said Hammonds, and everything went along

fine until Van Cronkhite wanted $2,000 a month. Denying that he had peddled influence, Van Cronkhite said: "I got sucked in . . . As soon as I found out what the situation Was. . . I got out."

Storm No. 2.—Hardly had the dust Settled when a storm broke around another big company, the bankrupt Texas Mutual Co. Two appeals court justices accused Texas Mutual of "Ponzi-like manipulations" and called the State Insurance Commission guilty of "fraud if not criminal laxity" for not doing anything about it. Texas Mutual was organized in 1949 by Leslie Lciwry, ex-mayor of Beaumont (ousted by recall), and his brother Paul. They started with $500 of their own cash and $19,500 borrowed. To expand their assets, said the court, the Lowry boys bought (with notes, no cash) a shabby, one-story building in Beaumont for $100,000, had three friends appraise it for $436,000.

The Lowrys then had State Senator William T. Moore, their attorney,. who was also chairman of the senate insurance committee in the last legislature (which blocked reforms in Texas insurance laws), present the $436,000 appraisal to the insurance commission. Over a three-year period, Texas Mutual paid State Senator Moore $13,000. A state insurance examiner, said the court, performed "a specter of an audit" on Texas Mutual books but found nothing wrong, and the examiner later received $300 in cash from Paul Lowry. When Texas Mutual failed last year, it brought down three other Lowry insurance companies with it. Texas Mutual alone wrote 38,000 policies, and now it owes $1,200,000 on 1.600 claims.

Storm No. 3.—The third storm broke around two El Paso firms, United Lloyd's and United World Life. At the companies' bankruptcy suit, it developed that ex-Texan Spencer L. Trehaine (who is now living in New Mexico) got his license to start United Lloyd's on $55,000 borrowed from an El Paso bank and $5,000 of his own. The suit brought out that Treharne also took over a piece of real estate his lather had just bought for $30,000 and wrote it up to $322,000.

United Lloyd's wound up broke and about $450,000 in debt.

By week's end, State Senator Moore was scheduled to appear before a state bar committee to explain his Texas Mutual dealings. Governor Shivers investigated Van Cronkhite and announced that his ex-campaing manager had indeed been "sucked in" by Lloyd's of North America. would not be campaign manager this year. Shivers then swiped

at the Texas insurance industry and their manipulation of the legislature.

Said the governor: "Too often the insurance companies in Texas have been too interested in using their legislative influence to run competitors out of business rather than to run abuses out of the business."

The editor of the Vestnik adds a postcript of his own to the above report of the Time magazine. The shady operations of the "mutuals" are being discussed in almost every meeting of our organizers. When the SPJST "got stuck" with some bonds and several thousand acres of land in the Valley, one promoter of a new insurance company needed the bonds and the land to create "assets" and to build up a new company.

LETTERS. FROM THE TREASURER OF THE 7th DISTRICT Sisters and Brothers: The meeting of the 7th district May 16 is behind us leaving many good impressiens we like to look back to. It seems by the comments overheard that it was enjoyable affair, and I may add, a successful one.

The outdoors may have had something to do with it, with old sol peeping through the branches of the trees warming things up a bit and leaving a rosy glow on the cheeks of young and old alike. . Interrupted in their nest building high up in the tree tops the birds looked down on the assembly, bewildered, as much as to say: Go away, you don't speak our,language. Oh, yes! The girls were there, the boys were there, all smiling with that spirit of youth (we like to think about) and vitality. The glean in their eyes gave away the fact that this is the time of year when the whole country is in bloom, making them :,..nappy that school will be out and va-.cations in order. Yes, sir! This is spring.

The penny-panty fund raising system exceeded the treasurer's fondest expectations. And the credit goes . to brother Valeik who set the example by plunking in 100 pennies in the form of a Gorge Washington bank note. This was followed by the Supreme Lodge Officers and directors present. One officer dropping in a bank note, smiling, jokingly remarked, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

Iotal collected at final count was $21.20, formerly announced as $20.70.. Collected after the collection closed was fifty cents from a member whose name I will net mention, who came after the collection was closed. Had he been present earlier, I'm sure he would have given more.

Now here is the report brother Pustejovsky is waiting for. The final count brought in $9,95 on the beautiful shoes from Czechoslovakia.

I want to say a word of appreciation for the donation of those shoes for the benefit of our district fund. She requested me not to mention, her name at the meeting, but she didn't say not to put it in the Vetnik. I, personally, and m behalf of district seven, thank her for her generosity by donating these shoes for the benefit of our district fund. I'm sure she felt a glow of happiness that her gift, was used for a worthy purpose and at the same time brought happiness to little Miss McCloskey who won them.

Mrs. Martha Harbort, Triteelle 1.

Miss McCloSkey can truly be proud of those shoes as they are valued. in American money, at $20.00, and judged by yours truly and other shoe men who saw them, as perfect hand work.

The program committee set seventy five cents for each child appearing on the program as a token of appreciation for their efforts. Patsy Murie turned hers back to our treasury. Thanks Patsy. Also, the committee allowed $1.00 a person to the dancers of the Beseda.

Contacting'these fine people I was told that Lodge San Antonio had given them dinners and that they were very happy to dance for the assembly, and that the treasurer should put it back into the district fund. Whom am I to argue with a feeling like that! Thanks a lot, folks.

Among the highlights of the program was the address by Dr. Joe Kopecky who had came from retirement to speak to us m which he made a noble gesture toward acquiring a library for the contemplated 81apansky offer. Let's hear more about this. He suggested that he would buy these hocks while the offer lasts to be taken over by the Supreme Lodge when their hands are untied, probably at the next convention, Dr. Kopecky, it was really nice to have you with us.

What I like about these district meetings, especially when everyone seems to be in good humor, is the contacts made with other people. Here is a good demonstration of friendliness and the word" brotherhood." Folks meet who haven't seen each other for ages, shake hands, talk about the old times, forgive their trespasses and forget petty prejudices. Isn't that wonderful? I say, that because it actually happened at the last meet.

It makes one feel glad all over!

The youth program presented by Lodge Rozktet Zapadu No. 107, directed by Sister McCloskey was good, a further indication of what can be done with tots when pains are taken with them.

Since the district , lodges showed scarce interest in bringing their talent to San Antonio there was very short time for our San Antonio youth to prepare for a program. But our active entertainment committee was equal to the urgency and .put pressure on the youngsters for a. few rehearsals. Having had some experience from the ground work laid by Sister Marcella Kleprlik heretofore, by her painstaking efforts to bring about interest to the youth as

Strana lb well as mamas and dads, a program was quickly formed and, guided by Mrs. Betty Hughes, showed up remarkably well.

The Beseda dance was well done. Thanks a lot to all of you who took part an the program.

Fraternally, S. C. Puna, 1• •er THE CZECH EX - STUDENTS A S S 0CIATION Office of the Secretary The University of Texas Austin, Texas pear Graduate, Congratulations from the Czech ExStudents of Texas for the successful completion of your high school education. We hope that you will not stop here but continue your education in some college or university. Texas offers excellent opportunities for such schooling, particularly at the State University of Texas in Austin. Here a student may prepare himself for almost every type of career. In many of these, Languages are of extreme importance. The University is especially fortunate that courses are offered in Czech language and literature. Czech is constantly increasing in Importance as a necessary tool for those (both men and women) who are looking forward Iro a career in one of the Government services such as the Diplomatic Corps, the Defense Department, Intelligence and others. In fact, a good number of former students who studied. Czech at the University are now holding important jobs in several there Government services. It has also been of great help in obtaining promotion or several who are in the Armed Fdrces. Frequently the Department of Slavonic Languages is requested to recommend someone who knows the language for some government position. As you can see, the study of Czech is extremely practical.

Many students may feel that they are financially unable to go on to the University but this should not be a bindrance. The city of Austin offers many part-time jobs for students so that they may attend school and partially suppce t, themselves. An important function el.

1.7trana 16 the Czech Ex-Students Association is the Council for Higher Education. This is actually a student loan fund from which loans are made to students who need financial assistance. The loan itself and the interest become payable after the student has left school and established himself, n his job. With such assistance there is no reason why you should not avail yourself , of the opportunity to ob -:. tain 4, higher education and prepare yourself foi- a well paid position.

Further information will be gladly supplied by the Secretary and also, by Dr. Editar Micek, University Station, Aqtin, Texas,. .

Every year at our lodge No. 88 we celebrate Mothers Day on Mothers Day and Fathers Day on. Fathers Day, but it always interferred with regular family affairs and it really was a sacrifice to attend these programs. So this year it was decided to set a date between these two holidays so every one may come and have really fun.

The program will begin at 3:30 in the afternoon, I am sure every one will enjoy this as it was planned to give a pleasant afternoon to all Mothers and Fathers and the rest of the audience will also enjoy it I am sure. Bring your family, friends and acquaintances. The program is absolutely free. Remember Sunday, the 6th of June, 3:30 in the afternoon, program will last about 2 hours. Than every one m a y refresh themselves and get ready for the dance at night. With good music and free admission to all members. So do come out and have a wonderful time.

I want to remind every one that a Free dance to all members will be sponsored every first Sunday of each month.

Kindly keep this in mind and bring your friends along with you and have a big time. The sixth (6) of June is our first Free dance to all members, Let's

Lights. Driving around a curve on the highway at night, you see two red lights ahead. What do they mean? Have you caught up with another car going along ahead of you? Or are you bearing down on a car that is stopped or even backing up? The stop lights and the regular taillights are the same color—red. Unless you happen to see them brighten up when the brakes are applied, you can't tell what they mean. If taillights were amber and only stop lights red, many a driver who piled into the back of a stalled car or truck would be alive and uninjured today.

Headlights still blind, too, although the glare could be eliminated by universal adoption of palaroid headligli'ts and Windshields.

Rear-ledge missiles. You may not have thought of the shelf under the rear window as being a safety hazard, but how would you like to be hit on the back of the head by a can of oil or a screwdriver traveling 55 miles per hour? That is the argument for getting rid of the shelf.

Steering wheel and dashboard. If the steering column were mounted on a heavy spring or held by a sheer pin that would break under shock, the driver would have more of a chance of coming out of a crash. A better opportunity of going through life undefaced also would be given the front-seat passenger if the fancy knobs and other protruding gadgets were removed and the dashboard covered with shock-absorbent material.

A little cushioning can be the difference between life and death. If you doubt this, let an egg drop six or eight feet onto a thin pillow and then (if you don't care about the egg) onto a hard floor.

Are such safety features really practical? Ask a sports-car owner. Or if you don't know any, get The Kings of the Road, by Ken W. Purdy (Little, Brown and Co., 34 Beacon St., Boston 6, Mass., $5) and read what he says about "Detroit cars," the kind you probably have.

Do motorists really demand safety features? The car manufacturers think not.

Nash did offer a model with a safety belt, but gave it up on the grounds that the gruesome implications hurts sales.

But certainly no one is going to refuse to buy a car because it has disk brakes, a roll bar, a padded dashboard and better weight distribution. As to the safety harness, do you object to fastening your safety belt in an airplane?

The truth is, manufacturers could make cars safer without loss of sales. But the only thing that will persuade them to is public opinion. That's you.

Accidents Kill More Children Than Diseases Do The curly haired two-year old grinned out at me from his jungle of bandages in the pediatric ward 'of a large hospital.

But the shy grin that spre6,d slowly over his little face when I spoke to him seemed only to underscore the suffering in his eyes.

His left arm and shoulder, chest, and back were swathed in bandages. "Skin grafting," the nurse explained. "Chuck fell into an open fireplace two months ago."

Yes, little Chuck's burns would heal.

Perhaps he would even escape unscarred.

But pain, fright, and loneliness leave theii own kind of scars, and' all the soothing attention of two remorseful parents would not prevent the nightmares ahead.

Now, falling into fireplaces is not the most common accident befalling children. But Chuck's experience points up the little-known fact that accidents of various kinds kill more children up to the age of 14 than any disease. Polio, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis—these are diseases to strike dread into the heart of any parent. Yet, in the under-14 age group, the combined total of fatalities from all these diseases is less than half the number of deaths caused by accidents. And most accidents involving children happen at home.

The gravity of this situation has led to a new type of preventive medicine.

The Academy of Pedatrics of the American Medical Association has inaugurated a campaign against accidents. One young doctor has taken up the battle on two fronts. Dr. William T. Newsom, Oklahoma university professor of pediatrics, is working to arouse interest both among physicians and parents themselves. In his files are case histories and pictures which speak eloquently of the need for safety education.

Dr. Newsom says that far too many injuries are a result of the "accidents are bound to happen" attitude of many parents. He urges that we begin to think of such accidents as possible fatalities, rather than- as mere mishaps. Death resulting from a burn or poisoning, maintains Dr. Newsom, is less of an accident than death caused by polio. "We don't as yet know how to keep a child from getting polio," he says, "but we can keep poisons out of the house."

Pediatricians are encouraged to include closes of safety education in routine baby checkups. In the matter of accident prevention, personal experience is certainly not the best teacher. The lesson may be learned too late. For many'

(By Ethelyn Burns) a child, his first accident is also his last.

Dr. Newsom has a few basic recommendations. Says he, "There's no such thing as an open 'safety' pin. If it's open," he says, "it isn't safe." Every infant needs a crib with sides always kept up. Avoid painted toys or nursery furniture. Tape unused electrical outlets, and never use an open-socket type extension cord.

Above all, never allow the toddler access to any dangerous liquids or chemicals. One mother was so careful of her child's health that she kept candy and cookies on a high shelf well out of reach; the lye, bleach, and insecticide she stored under the kitchen sink.

Don't persuade your youngster to take medicine by calling it candy. Such a tactic is an invitation to sample the rest of the "candy" in the medicine cabinet.

Among the saddest words heard often by doctors is the sobbing mother's lament: "But I left him only for a minute, just long enough to answer the phone."

And where did she leave baby for that last minute of his life? In the bathtub.

Remember, when a small child falls face down in water even a few inches deep, he doesn't know enough to get up. He lies there and cries, gasping in water instead of air.

The advice that applies to water applies to all other phases of child care.

Complete protection is necessary for the first two years, and after that it should be gradually replaced by teaChing. Overprotectiveness toward an older child will tend* to make him accident prone. As children grow up they can't be kept from climbing, swimming, crossing streets, and working with mechanical devices. But they can be taught how to do such things safely. General warnings are important, but the greatest thing of all to be instilled by parents is the habit of caution.

Make an inventory of the accident possibilities in your home. Have you a stairway? Then you must hang up baby gates. Have one not only at the top of the stairs, but at the bottom, too. Babies can crawl up stairs long before they can safely manage the return trip.

Elementary, you say. Of course ytar have baby gates, top and bottom. And unlike two-year-old Chuck, your little Mary will never learn about fireplaces the hard way. Your sturdy screen is always properly. closed. You took the glass top . off your coffee table the day she started to creep. Electric fans and heaters are always kept well out of reach.

When you must go out to the clothesline or down to the basement, your youngster isn't left to roam. She's safely installed in crib or playpen, despite her loudest protests. In short, you've baby-proofed your home as completely as you can.

Then let's concentrate on the business end of your home, the kitchen, the most dangerous room in the house.

Your toddler is bursting with curiosity and to him, the kitchen is a wonderland. In it are gleaming knives, and shiny glassware; gas jets to turn and hot ovens to open. There are bubbling pots, sizzling pans and whistling kettles, The spinning beaters of the electric mixer catch his eye, and the humming motor is a Lorelei song, luring him to danger.

Drawers and undersink cabinets yield up treasures galore. Out come boxes, bottles, and cans filled with things that must be tasted. With luck it's only soap that he swallows. But the lye or kerosene are just as inviting; and these can spell tragedy.

If your kitchen doubles as a laundry, the dangers are even greater. Quantities of hot water are used, and bleaches, dyes, and strong washing powders are kept within easy reach. The number of very small children who catch hands and arms in washing-machine wringers is astonishing. Even a fully automatic machine is no assurance of safety. Such machines may be guaranteed foolproof, but to make them childproof would be difficult indeed.

Anyone who doubts the variety and extent of self-injury to which small chitdren are subject needs only to look over the receiving-room register of any large hospital. I did._ It was one of the most sobering experiences of my life.

A two-year-old swallowed lye. The burn caused the tissue of his throat to grow together, preventing swallowing. A father in his home workshop was using an open-socket extension cord. His small son stuck his tongue into the socket and was electrocuted before his father knew he was in trouble.

There were the burns from hot water, grease, and open fires. There were the fractured skulls and broken bones from fallS down stairways, out of windows, from beds and chairs. And always there were the swallowings. It seems that everything that was put into a bottle or can has been swallowed by children. The assortment included roach spray, rat poison, shampoo, kerosene; turpentine, fuel oil.

Few laymen ever see such a concentrated presentation of accident cases.

They read the day-to-day newspaper

t" T . sl ories—and for get them. But physicians have ve the complete picture always before them. Because the menace is growing, they have decided upon an organ ized method of combating it. If the problem is a challenge to physicians, it should be a greater challenge to part ots.

Safety education is the preventive medicine that can , save thousands of young lives. The m edical profession is willing to add education to its already heavy burden of responsibility. But unlike tonics, vitamins, and vaccines, it cannot be given to the children directly.

Before anything can be accomplished, we, the parents, must be ready to take the medicine in largo doses.

I AM NOT THAT OLD (By Molly G. Daugherty) I may as well say I'm sixteen and be done with it! I don't think I'm so young, but older people c11:31 Of course, I know that this perennial youth pinned on me is just part of a huge propaganda of older folks to make themselves seem young. They can't be old at sixty if I'm a kid at forty!

But even when I was first married at a sensible twenty-five, I was introduced indulgently as a "little bride" by older women at the university where my husband taught. And I daresay I'd still be one, were I still there and the older women still alive! m being a "little bride," I retrogres -ed rapidly when we visited my husband's family. We were "the kiddies" at the parsonage, and a suitable bedtime was even suggested -- not that we ever objected!

All that was fifteen years ago, but do you 'think I can put away childish things? Not for a minute!

When I taught in college recently, my classes were held on the far side of campus, and I happened to mention the long walk in a letter home. A week later, a large wooden crate was delivered at my front door. Mother remembered that I was a whizz on a bike just a few years ago when I was eight, and sent me a red English racer!

Now suddenly and just as maddeningly, I may as well say Fin eighty and be done with it. I don't think I'm so old, but younger people do!

Yesterday I went to a doctor because I was unduly fatigued. When I saw him, I was surprised he was so young, but he seemed intelligent. He asked me the usital inquisitive questions and ended up telling, me to get a chest X ray — that he always had his patients get one as a routine meaSitre.

Hold on, Buster! I thought. I'm net your patient vet! When I decide on a Fr:

.1

T..17, TD7r.A

family doctor, he'll be older than you!

But aloud I said politely. "Just give me a bottle of tonic and let me go. I had an X ray recently," "How recently?" he asked, thumping merrily away on my shoulder blades.

"Oh, just before- Joan was born. Just ten years agD." "Well," he said, hiding a smile, "we'll have another one made, anyway, just in case. But I think your real trouble is that you're reaching an age when you need to take things easy."

"I'm not that old," I snapped, getting up and flouncing out.

He was off his rocker if he thought I was letting any kind of 'thirty or so frame me as t Whistler's mother, I went home chafing.

"Helen called," my husbandsaid , over his newspaper while I was hanging up my own u_at in the front hall closet — and glad I could still do it at my age.

"Helen's a nice girl," I said, calming down. "What did she want?"

"Girl!" exploded my daughter. ."She's a grandmother!"

"So what!" I said, getting really sore at last. "She's not much older than I am!"

"If you were ever young, it must have been a long time ago," commented Joan drily, Listen, kids! I'm not old. And listen, old. And listen, old timers, I'm not young. I'm just right—right smack in the middle! And I'm staying here! So stop pushing me either way! )• *( THE AMERICAN SOKOL

The average American is a composite scholar, athlete, family man, soldier, church handy man, executive, goer, etc. He posses characteristics either of all of them or a combination of a majority, of them. He is the perfect result of democratic living.

We have public schools to provide us with an education, and ample opportunity to gain a ccllege degree, as well as a free press, public libraries and now, television, which aid in broadening our knowledge.

Athletics, of course, a r e something which "rub off' on us because we grow up in an atmosphere of sports. We cannot help but find ourselves participating in one form of sport another. It is a precious characteristic for American, for it inculcates us with a sense of fair play and a flair for the competitive. There have been many sage remarks made by great men as to the value of sports in the American way of life.

As for being a family man, well that comes naturally. Love, too, is a wholesome American attribute, and the American peal in life is to provide the best Volitician,

possible home for his family.

We all have done our bit of soldiering, and proved ourselves to be a capable lot.

As a handyman, we can also do a fair share of jobs around the house, carpentering, painting, gardening, etc., with the car, et al.

We are executives, too. We belong to clubs, and during the course of our lifetime hold some office or another which qualifies us as executives. Politicians.

Well, let's just say we love people, know how to meet and influence them.

All the foregoing attributes are cornnon in the American. Yet, to foreigners, they make us appear complex. But, we know we are not. We're just people who love life, who try to contribute as much as we can to it, and, by the same token, try to get as much out of it as possible.

We work hard and we play hard, because we know full well that each counterbalances the other.

When the day's work is done, life becomes a gainbol, a part-holiday for relaxation, pleasure, avocations, etc. Mark Twain describes it best: "Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do."

On Saturday, June 12, and on Sunday, June 13, there will be many Sokols and Sokolettes from all over this great state of Texas to take part in a gymnastic exhibition in ' Corpus Christi. They are not compelled to take part. To them, it is a pleasurable diversion. At the same time, many old friends, acquaintances, fraternalists, and Sokols of long standing will come to Corpus Christi.

We sincerely wish that this wonderful opportunity to come and participate in this Sokol exhibition would appeal to every one of our SPJST'members. Those boys and those girls who take part in the exhibition are from all walks of life, each with his own or her own problems.

Shakespeare must have had Sokols in mind when he wrote: "He capers, he dances, he has the eyes of youth." That quotation applies to our Sokols 100 per The Sokols are average Americans plus.

• Good Question

A famous psychologist had finished his lecture and was answering questions.

A meek little man asked, "Did you say that good poker player could hold down any kind of executive job?"

"That's right," answered the lecturer.

"Does that raise a question in your mind?"

"Yes," replied the little man. What would a good poker player want with a job?"
