Co OCEKAVAME OD ORGANISATORA A TUTO otazku hiedal jsem nedavno odpoved' ve stanovach.

In Potteboval jsem vysvetleni, abych ochivodnil svuj argument s jednim nakm organisatorem. Jako obyeejne, debatujici strany jsou °be v pravu. Jente je tfeba nekoho, kdo by je spravedlive rozsoudil. Proto hleda.1 jsem ye stanovach kaldou zminku o organisatorech; Natel jsem, ze mistni organisatoti jsou vzpomenuti v nakch stanovach etykikrat.

V jednom odstavci je naznaeeno, 'le mistni organisator je navrten a doporuden Hlavni tkadovne mistnim kadem. V jinem odstavci stoji, ze Hlavni ifradovna ustanovuje nebo jmenuje mistni organisatory bud' na dciporudeni mistnim dem nebo na doporueeni statnim organisatorem. Na ttetim miste se ptipomina, ze mistni organisator je povinen tiditi se pokyny statniho organisatora, a kdyt tak neueini, Hlavni Utadovna je povinna, zbaviti jej organisatorske prate. A koneene je tam zminka, ze mistni organisator je opravnen k mesieni odmene za ziskani novych Menu, a take "obeas"I k odmene za iispe'Snou organisadni•praci.

Nenatel jsem, co jsem hiedal, totit elanek o vftorinosti nebo o kvalifikacich rthsttliho organisatora. Ma debata s mistnim organisatorem nedoka k ladnemU konci. Roze§li jsme se v pfesvedeeni, te ten druhY byl v omylu.

Debata vyvstala tim, ze redaktor pik elanky a fivahy o torn, jak nekteti inistni organisatoti malo pracuji,, zanedbavaji sve povinnosti a neziskavaji dosti PrY ye stanovach nikde nestoji, a take ani Hlavni iikadovna, ani nikdo jinY nerna, prava diktovati, kolik novYch dlenti nebo kolik noveho pojifteni musi mistni organisator ziskati v urditem Case.

Proti tomuto vSiroku redaktor protestoval poznamkou, le kaIdY einovnik v Jednote ma ureita priva a ureite povin-,

nosti, ttebate o ye stanovach neni dosti ztetelne vyjmenovano.

Slovo dalo sloVo, at' debata stala se hodne osobni.

"A kolik jsi ziskal novYch elenti za minulY rok?" ptal se redaktor.

"Po torn ti nic neni,, ani kdybys byl statnim organisatorem. A po torn take nic neni ani Hlavni fitadovne," byla odpoved' mistniho organisatora.

"Jestli bude§ organisatorem jen pro jmeno, neprospiva'S tim ani svemu tadu, ani Jednote, ba gkodiA tim druhS7m organisatortim, ze nikdo jinY za tvYmi Oaten, sousedy, nebo do tveho okoli se neodvatuje. A kdyi ut jsme v takove debate, kolik vlastne ma.:S u riak SPJST tivotniho pojikeni?"

"To je take ma soukroma vec, po ktere nikomu nic neni. Ja, se tebe take neptarn, kolik ty mal" pojikeni, ani kolik svetnic ma tva, residence. Jenorn nemi-chej domacnost a spolek dohromady.

Spolek je spolek a soukrome zalelitosti do spolku nepatki," vysvetloval orgariisator.

"Ba naopak, orate organisatore. Jestli sam neveti'S v tivotni pojEsleni, jak thee' jine ptesveddit, ze pottebuji neco, co sam nemitS. Salto kdybys nekornu chtel prodat auto a ptitom sam jezdil s konikem zapialenSlm v koearku. Hied', ty jsi byl pkedsedou sveho fadu. Ty jsi jezdival na sjezdy a byl jsi povatovan za jednoho z ptednich a proziravYch Mena SPJST. A misto abys mel maximalni obnos pojiSteni, ty jsi spokojenY s certifikatem jen na pet set. Kdyby bylo po tvem, Jednota by dosud kkftovala jen s tisicovYmi certifikaty, protok i kdyby ses dostal za elena Hlavni iikadovny, tobe by staeilo pet set."

Ani nevedel, ze redaktor toho mel hodne vice na srdci, co chtelo yen. Pokraeoval jsem: "Nemusel jsem se ptat, kolik jsi ziskal novYch elena lonskeho roku.

Vim, le ani jednoho. A take vim, ie jsi

neziskal ladneho noveho elena od posledniho sjezdu v Houstonu. A kdyl se podivas do Vestniku v kvetnu pied sjezdem, kde byl pfehled prace nakch organisatora, neziskal jsi "a.cineho noveho Mena od roku 1948. A organiSatorem chce§ bYt, ad pravik 'te ani Hlavni idadovna, ani statni organisator nemaji si vkmati, jakou praci konak Brachu, takovS7m zpilsobem pokradovali bychom od desiti k peti."

Rozeki jsme se. KatclY si myslel svoje. On citil, ze ktivdim starS'rm alenum a organisatortim, kteti venovali celY sraj livot rtiznSrm eeskYm spolkam. Z me strany potieboval jsem nejake odtivodneni, ze neni organisatorem takova osoba, ktera, v gesti letech neziska ani jednoho novelle Mena. Proto jsem hiedal nejakou oporu ye stanovach. Tarn jsem odpovedi nenakl. Debata vyznela naprazdno.

Col aby nas Oleni rozsoudili. Co., aby jini podali vysvetleni, co deckavame od riagich mistnich organisatora. To, co vzpomenuto v nakch stanovach na etytech mistech, nevysvetluje dosti jasno povinnosti a postaveni nakch mistnich pracovnikti.

Naborova, dinnost v kadech je jednou z nejduletitej§ich problemt u katdeho spolku .Ziskavani noveh 'Menu melo by toiti jednim z hlavnich bodit v nakm programa Maine ye stanovach, ze Hlavni ni:adovna je povinna najmouti statniho organisatora. A na doporudeni statniho organisatora ma bYti ustanoven pro kaZdY distrikt jeden distriktni organisator.

A tento statni organisator ma miti dohied nad distriktnimi a mistnimi organisatory. Kdo by se netidil die pokyna Hlavni idadovny nebo statniho organisatora Ma bS7ti zbaven organisatorskeho mista.

Je takove zaiizeni spravne? Nebo je spravne, aby Hlavni nfadovna ponechala npinou volnost kaklemu organisatoru?

e tomb jiz nekolik roku, kdy byl jsen pozvan, abych si pripravil ptedna gku pro deny jisteho americkeho bratrskeho spolku, k nemu2 pattim pies etvrt stoleti. Byla pro mne reservovana zidle pob112 ptedsedy a tajemnika spolku, ne2 se vytidi beZne spolkove jednani. Videl jsem, jak tajemnik podal predsedovi arch papiru, na nemt byl poznamky o bodech, ktere se mely projednati toho . veeera ye schilzi. A take jsem videl, jak piedseda vytahl z naprsni kapsy sve vlastni poznamky. Po ukoneeni schilze mluvil jsem s obema Utedniky a gratuloval jsem jim ku yzornemu prilbehu schilze.

Byl jsem zvedavY, jake poznamky si pro schrizi pripravili. Ukazali mi je. Tajemnik mel na svem archu vyjmenovany dopisy, ktere jemu dogly; vgechny finty, ptedlehajici k vyplaceni; d ye veci, odlo2ene ze schtize pfecichazejici; a etyti nove zalle2itosti, ktere se mely ye schiizi projednavati. Pkedseda mel ye sv3ich poznanikach dve oznaineni pro eleny; dve odlo2ene talditosti: z minule ze, co2 bylo opakovanim toho, co mei ten "tajemnik; dve nove zale2itosti; poznamka o ptedstaveni hosta; poznamku o ptedstaveni ke6nika, kterS7m jsem byl jd; a oznameni, jake jednani bude ye zi za mesic.

Na tento °brink, jak tajemnik podava ptedsedovi arch poznamek, a jak pied seda, vytahuje z naprsni kapsy sve vlastni poznamky pied zahajenim schilze, vzpoinnel jsem si bezpoetukrat. A pHrovnal jsem to k tern dobam, kdy jsem sam byl zapisovatelem nebo tajemnikem u rtlinYch spolku, kdy dopisoval jsem protokol ze schilze ptedchazejici pet minut pied schtlzi nastavajici, nebo kdy inkoust protokolu nebyl jests ani tadne sucWi, kdy2 protokol byl podepisovan ptedsedott A take jsem si vzpomnel, mnohdy jsem zahajoval schuzi vyzbrojen pouze paliekou a 2adnYmi poznamkami nebo ze jsem neopatrne rozmaznul tajemniktiv zapis o schuzi pied mesicem.

Bylo by zajimavym zjistiti, kolik narich tadovYch iftednika melo kdy ptile2itost sledovati ptipravu fitednikil v jinYch ameriekSich spolcich. Nekdy mi nase schfize ptipominaji nikoliv schtizi, ale chtizi elo yeka ye svateenich sttevicich, jdoucich blativou cestou. glapne zde, a pak se rozhli2i, kterYm smerem by mel glapnouti v nasledujicim kroku.

Kdyi mitivime o poznamkach pro vzorne a plodne jednani ve schrizi, dovolte mi, abych prozradil neco z prace redaktorske. Nekdy se mne aleni ptaji, kde sbiram my glenky a namety ke svYm fivaham a elaneektim. Kahre remeslp .ma svou zruenost a dovednost, kterou si femeslnik postupem easu osvoji. Nosim s notYsek.

°BMW NEZNAIWYCH HVEZD Za starych dob bylo znamo pet planet sluneeni soustavy: Merkur, VenuSe, Mars, Jupiter a Saturn. Spolu se Sluncem a Mesicem tvotily sedm nebeskeh Wes, Toto eislo bylo v to dobe povatovano za posvatne a povereivi lide se dornnivali, z'e jich vice net sedm take b3)t nernide. Kdyt Galilei roku 1609 sestrojil prvni ma1Sr dalekohled a jeho pomoci objevil, te planeta Jupiter ma nekolik drutic (rnesicil), neptatele vedy se s nim Oen.. Rikali, te v tYdnu je sedm dni, v posvatnern svicnu sedm svec, v lidske hlave sedm otvoril, "kdetto ty, Galilei, tyrdi g, te Is' objevil vice net sedrenebeskYch teles, cot nemtize .. • " Kdyt jim Galilei navrhl, aby se sami podivali dalekohledern a ptesvedeili se o torn, odmitali, nebot' pry j e to d'abelske ealeni.

Samortejme zvitezila veda. V XVIII. stoleti znamS7 astronom Herschel objevil siln3"rm dalekohledem novou planetu Urana. V XIX. stol. byl objeven Neptun a v nag em XX. stoleti Pluto, nejvzdalenejAi z dosud znamSfch planet.

Je zy laSte zajimave, jak byla objevena planeta Neptun. Povime si o torn. Na poeatku minuleho stoleti &end pozorne sledovali nedavno objevenou planetu Urana a zpozorovali, to v jejim pohybu jsou jakesi nepravidelnosti. Byly pozorovany nevelke odchylky od pohybu, kterSr

by Ulan mel mit, kdyby na nej jen ptitatlivost Slunce. Astronornove dospell k zaveru, 2e tyto odchylky jsou soberly ptitatlivostrostatnich planet. Vypoeitali, jak' vliv na Urana, ma ptitatlivost planet znamSrch v to dobe a jak se tim meni jeho pohyb kolem Slunce.

Srovnali tyto ficlaje se situtee0m pohybein Urana a zjistili, ze v jeho pohybu je jet jakasi odchylka, kterou nebylo motno vysvetlit pilsobeniin ani jednoho z nebeskfth teles v one dobe znamYch. Tehdy vznikla mezi vedci myAlenka,, musi existovat jeate nejalco, neznama planeta, ktera svou ptitatlivosti tyto odchylky v pohybu Urana zpftsobuje. PfedPokladali, Ze se tato planeta pravdepodobne nachazi kdesi za Uranem, v jegte vetSi vzdalenosti od Slunce. dm vice byl studovan pohyb Urana,, tim vice ptesvecleeni o existenci teto nezname "zauranove" planety.

Co vaak je to za neznamou, nikSnn nikdy nevidenou planetu? Kde je.? Jak ji najit mezi tisici a rniliony hvezd na nebi?

A zde bylo take dobyto bezptikladneho viterstvi vedy. FrancouzskS7 ueenec Leverrier se rozhodl, ureit theoretickSmi vS7poety jaka, je ona neznama planeta, pfisobici na Uran, a kde se nachazi. tkol byl neobyeejne teticSi. VSrpoety musily bSrt zaloteny na zakonu vAeobeene ptitatlivosti a na tom, co bylo znamo z

pozorovani pohybu planety Urana a jeho odchylek. Bylo tteba yypoeitat silu, jet tyto odchylky vyvolala, a potom presne zjistit polohu nezname planety, ktera touto silou na Tirana, pfisobila. Nakonec, vychazeje z pohybu Zeme a z pohybu to to nezname planety, musil zjistit, kdy jakem smeru je ji mono videt na nebi.

Pro toto Vae bylo nutno provesti nejslotitejai vS/poety, jet yytadovaly velkSrch znalosti, mnoho uporne prate a nev gedniho talentu. Leverrier se dal smele do vS/poetft. Mnoho mesick prosedel ye sve praeovne u psaciho stolu. 1Vlusil sestavit a resit nejslotitejai ukoly, na ptiklad 18 matematickSich rovnic s mnoha neznarnSrmi velieinami. A nakonec bylo vitezstvi dosateno. Memo ureil,. kde se neznama "zauranova," planeta nachazi.

Leverrier to pak o gnamil jedne z velIc.,ch evropsk'ch hvezdaren a ozna.eil ptesne fisel§ftivezdne oblohy, v Mint se mela planeta hiedat. Astronom Johann Galle se dal s radosti do hleclani. Nemusil hiedat dlouho: hned prvni noci byla planeta nalezena, — tak ptesne bylo jeji misto oznakeno.

Nova planeta, nazvana, Neptun, byla objevena na nebi 23. zati 1846, v podstate vS'ak byla objevena drive, v pracovne ueence-Matematika, za psacim stolem, nebo, jak tikali Francouzi, no, apiece pera.

V torn take tkyi bezptikla,dnost ptipadu, ze planeta, kterou nikdo nikdy nevidel, o ktere lide po tisicileti nic nevedeli, byla objevena eiste theoretickou cestou a teprve potom nalezena na obloze.

Ve stejne dobe s Leverrierem vypoeital misto, kde se naleza "zauranova" planeta i jinSr ueenee, AngliCan Adams.

Pozdeji se ye vede poCaly shromatcl'ovat ficlaje o existenci je gte jedne nezname planety, ktera se nachazi jeate kdesi dale, za Neptunem. I tato planeta zpilsobovala svou ptitatlivosti nektere zmeny v pohybu znamSTh planeta AmerickS, astronom Lowel vypoeital, kde se ma na oblose tato vzdalena "zaneptunova," planeta nachazet, ale nepodatilo se najit ji tak brzy. Vecici se jejim hledanim zabS t . roku-valimnohet,aknebyla 1930 nalezena a dostala pak jmeno Pluto. ) • 4 • ( SVti K, Svoji k svemu, pate k pati, v mai S. P. J. S.

Stralla 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 7, Tex.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 W ;th i Ideliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR BROTHER L. 0. HOSEK, SECRETARY of District Three, has a letter in the Czech section. A part of the letter is addressed to those of you who read only English. Since you never would find it in the Czech part, let me print it here for your attention. He writes: • • "MY FOLLOWING REMARKS ARE for the younger members cf the SPJST. All of our members — and that includes the young ones — should always be vitally interested in the welfare and success of their local lodges, and not leave all the burden of responsibility and work one the shoulders of a few old officers alone. If we all adopt a better attitude of responsibility, we then will be able to do justice to the ideals we admire. Give us your ideas at our next district meeting in Ennis, Texas. Insist on knowing all of our plans, the way we want to launch them; and if you can, please, give us the way you think we should run things, safe and honest." End of the quotation.

EVEN IF THE ABOVE QUOTED statement is directed mainly to the young members in District Three, I should like to readdress it to the entire membership of the SPJST, to the younger members anywhere. We have to have your progressive ideas to counteract the conservative, oftentimes obsolete, ideas of the older members. Should you. have any opinion about anything pertaining to the SPJST, no matter how revolutionary it may appear to be at first, let us have the benefit of your thinking and dreaming. You know, Thomas Jefferson was quite a young man when he penned the Declaration of Independence. Declare your own independence, even to the point of organizing your own Young Members' Auxiliary Lodges. The Bylaws, article 108, state that the members of the Juvenile Department can become members with all rights of adult members by complying with all the requirements of the adult member, Get a copy of the Bylaws, read the little book, and study it, and do some independent thinking. The SPJST will benefit by Your thinking.

IN SOME( FRATERNAL ORGANIZAtions the Junior Department includes the children from the age of one day to the

age of 18 years. In the SPJST, the age of the Junior Department; is not uniform.

The "term insurance" certificates run up to the age of 16 years. All other permanent type certificates range in age from birth to ten years. If you get one of the permanent type junior certificates, you are 'in a Junior Department, even though you may be 25 or 28 years of age. This lack of uniformity should be remedied, but it will not be done unless the younger members show little more interest in what we have in the Bylaws. For that reason and many others, you should get hold of a copy of the SPJST Bylaws. Your Lodge has your copy.

• • YOU HAVE HEARD OF SISTER BIRDie Hilsher, who has been trying to create more interest for the SPJST among the children. In the last issue of the "Official Organ of the CSA", published in Chicago, there appeared quite a nice write-up about the work of Sister Hilsher. It was written by Brother Jerry Chmelicek, young editor of the "CSA Organ." When Brother Marek, Sister Hilsher, my wife and I were attending the lectures of various sections of the National Fraternal Congress in Chicago, in May, 1953, Brother Chmelicek and his charming wife Dagmar took special delight in entertaining us from six in the afternoon until almost midnight. Both Brother Chmelicek and Sister Hilsher are very much interested in the folklore, dancing, folk songs, and dramatics. It was natural for Brother Chmelicek to to write the following editorial in his paper: • • "SISTER BIRDIE HILSHER, YOUTH counselor of the SPJST, which operates in Texas, never fails to call or visit us when in Chicago. Sister Hilsher belongs to that cadre of people who are always active and derive great pleasure in helping others. She is doing a wonderful job and besides her many duties, issues a monthly (it should have been "quarterly"—Ed.) mimeographed program which has many poems, recitations, skits, songs, memorials, etc., suitable for the various holidays that occur during the month.

The programs are run off at their head office and then distributed to all the lodges, and contain both English and

Czech material. We have seen some of these programs and think they are excellent for lodge programs, and have suggested this idea several years ago to our own GSA. Having material at your finger tips makes for better programs and better scheduling of advance plans."

Since Brother Chmelicek holds a university degree majoring in drama, acting, directing, play production and stagecrafts, I take his remarks about Sister Hilsher's work at its face value.

• • TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOUR EDitor has suggested through the columns of the Vestnik that local meetings should be made more interesting and more entertaining. Only recently, I talked with officers of one prominent lodge asking them about lodge attendance. They told me that the attendance is rather poor, and that the Lodge Sisters don't come to the meetings at all. Now, if a good-. sized lodge having some 600 members does not make the lodge meetings in-' teresting enough for the Sisters to attend regularly, there is something wrong with the general setup, with the officers, or with the lodge Brothers of that particular lodge.

• • OUR SPJST WILL PROGRESS MORE readily if all local lodges will make their meetings more interesting, more enjoyable, more educational, and more entertaining. It cannot progress if local meetings are so one-sided that ladies do not care to come, or if local meetings are held for the purpose of collecting dues only. It is true that collecting of dues is an important purpose from the financial angle, but other angles must be considered, too. If a lodge is in such a rut that the fair members always stay at home, never have a voice in the affairs of the lodge, never are elected to hold an office, then the entire lodge is just vegetating, the officers elected by acclamation or without any semblance of democratic election, the positions are hereditary or perpetual, and the lodge does not function as a democratic unit in a democratic . society.

• • • LET ME TELL YOU THAT THERE cannot be any fraternalism in such a (Continued on page 21.)

WEST,

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES CULAK LODGE NO. 10 MOULTON Dear Readers: In view of the fact that there were a number of Fourth of July functions in our neighborhood, its observance at Culak Lodge was indeed successful. The afternoon of the Fourth, the sky was partially overcast, hence, our Texas sun did not beat down quite so mercilessly.

This naturally contributed to everyone's greater comfort and enjoyment. Old Glory was properly displayed where she might welcome the incoming guests and to remind us of the significance of this Independence Day. That every project went off so well, attests to the fact that the various committees and willing workers did their share to help.

Roman Zidek, chairman of the bingo stand, with his committee had a wonderful assortment of prizes. This game always lends itself to a lot of interest, especially when L. A. Jarosek is the caller!

Henry Helweg had charge of the Doll Rack and the Horseshoe pitching. These created a lot of lively fun, youngsters and adults competing.

The music given us by the Tune Twise ters was full of gaiety and accompanied by some very good singing. Many stood around or sat near by just to listen. We, who were working indoors, preparing for the supper, were greatly tempted to do likewise.

Judging from the favorable comments, "Oh, everything is so good!" My, your supper is simply delicious!", etc., we gathered that everyone was more than satisfied with the meal we served. The stew-meat was tender and so well seasoned; the barbecue was done to a turn.

Brothers August Kasper, August Fojtik, Adolph and Laddie Dlouhy, and William Fojt, the meat committee, deserve a lot of credit for a job well done. Of course, our sister members are also worthy of special mention for it is wad-s up to them to furnish the many accessoriee to the meat.

Quite a number of lovely cakes that were rp ,t needed for the supper were auctioned off by Bro. Zat Johnson. Two large watermelons donated to our lodge by our FlotTsville visitors, Messrs. Emil Miculka and Frank Bo lf, certainly brought an astonishingly high price. We are grateful to these two brothers cf Lodge Rozkvet Zapadu for contributing these prize Stockdale melons to our Lodge.

No doubt, most of the members would be glad to learn how we profited from

this celebration, but it willte a few days until our Secretary-Treasurer, Adolph Wagner, compiles his report. Those members who attend the regular monthly meeting, will learn the results then.

A number of our members who were sent a Fifty-Year membership have requested me to thank the Supreme Lodge for these handsome pins. Those proudly wearing them arc: Mesdames Theresa Valenta, Vera Svoboda. Frances Surman, Messrs. John Miadenka, and Emil Darilek. The latter four were all present at our July 4 celebration for awhile; Mrs. Theresa Valenta is spending awhile with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Taylor, in Houston.

Greetings to Cousin Mary McCloskey and those precious daughters of hers of Lodge Rozkvet Zapadu! I wish I might visit with her sometimes and exchange a few ideas with her on children's games.

The days are long and very hot, therefore, our beds beckon us for a short nights rest. Morning comes all too soon!

Your reporter, Rose Helweg -4) da, • POKROK DALLAS LODGE NO. 84 Dear Members: Lodge Pokrok No. 84 will hold its regular meeting, Sunday, July 17. Hope all you members will try and come to see what's happening at these meetings.

Don't make the eacuse that its just too hot to COE1C out, as you all know the hall is air-conditioned and therefcSa, it makes the meetings more pleasant.

And besides, you uiayamiss something if you don't show up.

The Father's Day program and dance turned out very well. We wish to thank each and everyone who contributed toward making this such a success.

Thanks also to Cyril Pokladnik ,who donated the ham and sausage for the door prizes.

The entertainment committee decided not to sponsor a dance on July 4 as so many persons go out of town. However, the dances v, (11 still be held on the first and third Sundays of each month, unless there would be a special dance, which, of course, would be advertised.

Anyone not reading the Vestnik certainly is missing something. There is so much good reading material, that I always try and read it from cover to cover, even though I have to read on the bus, going to and coming from work.

Really did enjoy the letter from Ora Faye Wilson irom Venezuela. Do wi ite more. I share t1-1 reading of the Vestnik with a tatty with whom 1 work, and she also enjoys it cry much.

I'd use to remind you of the 3rd District meeting which will be held on Sunday, July 25 at Lodge Volna Cechie Sokol Hall in Ennis. To make this meeting a success, we need your co-operation and support, so try and come.

Don't forget the Lodge meeting July 17. Hope to see you then.

Fraternally, Frances Baleja r • •( SOKOL FORT WORTH Our next Sokol meeting will be on July 18 at 2 p. m. at Sokol Hall. We urge all members to make a special effort to be there as we have many things to discuss and decide upon.

Our Zupni Course will start July 26.

Brother Maly and Brother Kudrnovsky will be the instructors. All of those who wish to attend may get in contact with Emil Milan or Mary Jane Svacek. Sister Mary Renfro will have charge of the meal preparation during the course. She will need lots of help, so all of you that can possibly help out, let her know, so she can work out her schedule. At the end of the course we will have Verejni evict:Ili on August 8. We will serve a barbecue, dinner, and a dance will be held at night. I'll have the entire program later on.

The Competition Drilling Meet in Corpus Christi, June 12 and 13 was a big success. The Fort Worth Sokol had 13 drillers and the competition.

The men won a trophy for second place in the Intermediate Division.

Bill Patterson — first place in jr. boys Mary Ann Jura,n — first place in jr. girls Joyce Hubenak — second place in jr. girls Linda Krenek' — third place in women's high division Rose Ann Krenek -- first place in little girl's division.

We are very proud of all our drillers and instructors.

I hope to see all of you at our next meeting on July 18.

THE SERVICE OF YOUR BANK A bank president told his depositors, "You don't have to be a big shot to do business at a bank. We are just as interested in your fifty dollar loan, your ten thousand dollar mortgage or your twelve dollar deposit as we are when a millionaire steps up and pushes a $100,000 check across the table."

At the moment your income may be so skimpy that it hardly seems worthwhile to route the family paychecks through a bank. The bankers, however, make out a pretty good case fer themselves. Twenty-five years ago, men customers did 90% of the daily business at the bank wondow. Today in more than 75% o! American families, it's the woman's job! If you and your husband want to do business with your local bank, you'll have to be the one to do it.

Choose your bank now. Banks trust people when they know them. well. You may not be able to keep a balance of mere than a few dollars, or a savings account of more than thirty or forty.

But if you can say, "I've been a depositor here for umpteen years," your bank is much more likely to deliver emergency financial service when you need it.

Select your bank carefuly. Remember that the less money you have, the more its safety means to you. Age is a good sign in a bank. It means that the management has successfully weathered financial storms. Your bank should be a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation—so that your deposits, should the bank fail, are insured by the government up to $10,000. They'll want to know all about you, too. Don't be insulted if they ask personal questions or demand references. A bank has the right to refuse the account of anyone they suspect is a shady dealer. After all, they are juggling lots of other people's money and they can't be too careful.

Banks are in business to make loans.

A great many of these loans go to private customers like yourself! If you can qualify, a bank is the cheapest and least painful place to borrow money.

Banks can charge very low interest because they don't do business with financially shaky borrowers.

One young business woman who foolishly borrowed money from a short loan company was nearly beside herself trying to keep up with the interest payments, which amounted to nearly 30% of the loan. Finally, she told her troubles to her boss, who advised her to consult her bank. The bank paid off her short-term loan and arranged for her

to repay the bank in terms she could meet.

Banks are even nosier about giving out money than they are about taking it in. Before you can borrow money they want to know the amount and source of your income, what bills you owe, what things you are buying on time payments, whether the Wife in the family is earning or capable of earning money, what your house is worth, why you think you need to borrow money and, sometimes, what your neighbors think of you. What they really want to know is, (1) Are you generally a good credit risk? (3) Are you going to make intelligent use of this money so that you will be able to pay it back? They are not, however, as sober-sider as they sound. They often lend money for a summer vacation or a new living room rug. There is even one case on record where a banker loaned a gay young matron several hundred dollars to give a party. He thought she was joking.

She wasn't.

A checking account is not a method of living ahead of your income. Don't abUse yours by writing checks that are dated ahead of time or by drawing on deposits that have not yet cleared. If you have a joint account with your husband, be sure to get together at the end of the day and add and subtract one another's deposits and withdrawals.

A joint checking account, the kind most married couples use, comes in three different styles: 1. A survivorship account. If one of the couple dies, the other may continue to write checks On the funds in the bank.

2. A sealed account in which the death of one partner Means the account is closed up tight until the Will is probated3. A semi-sealed account, In Which 50% of the money on deposit is frozen until the estate is settled.

Indorsing a check turns it into cash.

Don't • write your name across the jagged edge on the back until you get ready, to spend it.

Banks charge for their check :Wince.

Some banks will not accept an account unless the depositor can keep a balance of $1,000. Or you may be able to find a bank that will settle for a minimum balance as' low as $100. Three hundred is the usual demand. If you can't manage any of these, you can "pay as you go" it the rate of ten cents a check. This so-called "special" checking account is often not acceptable as a credit rating. But "special" checks are

Still worthwhile as valuable receipts.

The trust department of a bank is a good place to get free financial advice.

If you want to make a will, buy a house, consolidate your debts, renegotiate your mortgage or invest your money, an official of your bank will advise you or recommend sources of good advice.

What are the most frequent questions asked them? Here they are: Q. Can I write a check en Sunday?

A. Yes. There is nothing wrong with a check dated on Sunday.

Q. Should I write in the corner of my checks, "for grocery bill" etc.?

A. It may help, in a legal battle, but it isn't considered final evidence.

Q. Why do banks have so many vicepresidents?

A. The average banks handle thousands of legal papers each day. Each one has to be read and signed.

Q. Does a check get too stale to cash?

A. Yes, after three to six months. After that the bank may request the drawer's approval before they will honor it.

Q. Why did the bank want to know my mother's maiden name9 A. Poe identification over the telephone.

Q. Who,,tthappens if a man writes me a clot& and dies before I can cash it?

A. The check is uneollectable.

Q. What's the best away to cash a chccO in a strange town?

A. If you are in a hurry to cash a check, show the local bank your identification and offer to pay for a Wire to your home-town bank verifying that you have an account there. ) • 4 • ( TO OUR REPORTERS When you write the report about your meeting, observe some of the rules used by all good reporters: 1. If you don't have a typewriter, use pen and ink.

2. Print all proper names to avoid embarrasm en t.

3. Use white paper, and all your sheets should be of the same size.

4. Write on one side only. Sometimes the editor may wish to paste up your report on copy paper.

5. Don't crowd your writing. Leave plenty of margin at the top, to the left, to the right, at the bottom.

6. Keep sentences short. Your report will be easy to read. The Reader's Digest averages 15 words per sentence.

7. Mail your reports as soon as you can.

THE SPIRIT In the Book of Genesis, immediately following a description ,,of the creation of the world, an incident between two brothers is related wherein one named Cain, because of jealousy, took the life of his brother Abel. Following which it is recorded in the fourth chapter of Genesis, verse 9.

9. And the Lord said unto Cain, `Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, `I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?'

Am I my brother's keeper? Thus, this question has come down to us through all the centuries ' that have intervened between the time when it was first spoken and the present time. Although our conduct as individuals and as nations has not been a complete acceptance of our full resposibility as implied in the thought of brotherhood, yet, there has been a growing recognition of this responsibility.

Compare conditions today with those of earlier times, even comparably recent times, and, it is readily apparent that progress has been made. However this advancement in our thought and action is yet so far removed from what it should have been in all these centuries, one cannot help but be disappointed, even discouraged at times.

This is particularly se, when we consider the worthwhile results that would have come to the people of the world had there been, through all these years. a full and complete acceptance of the principles of brotherhood.

With the acceptance of the principles of brotherhood as the rule and guide of our individual, national, and international actions, there would be now, and would have been heretofore, an elimination of greed and selfishness, intolerance, bigotry, and domination of the weak by the strong.

In their place there would be, and would have been, equity, justice, honesty of purpose, understanding, and acknowledgment of the rights of others.

The sum total of these beneficent results would be peace and good will.

Peace and good will in our individual lives, and peace and good will in national and international affairs.

What do we mean by brotherhood?

Whatever the answer that may be given, no matter how differenty expressed or phrased the result would be the same, "doing unto others what we would that they do unto us." Thus, it is all inclusive.

It is all embracing. It is right by whatever standard is applied. It includes the best in every creed. A study of the religions of the world, old and new, reveals that in every one of them, no matter

OF BROTHERHOOD

what their concept of religion may be, recognize this principle of good will.

Thus, this concept of brotherhood provides a common meeting ground for all men of peace and good will.

The searching question "Am I my brOther's keeper?" has reverberated through all the centuries. It continues to challenge and activate the mind and gain the acceptance of all men of good will. Notwithstanding the passing of time, with all its changes, and the complexity of our present-day life, man has not nor never can change or lessen the force and logic of the inevitable answer.

Think in terms of the numerous disturbances that now exist in our land, in other lands, and between nations.

What is the cause of all these disturbances? Determine for yourselves what you consider to be the cause. Having done so, then apply as a 'means of solution the spirit of true brotherhood—doing unto others as we would that they do unto us. Would it not solve each difficulty if each of the contending parties applied this principle? Of course it would. The fogs and mists that now surround us would disappear as before the rays of the morning sun.

If the spirit of true brotherhood should be accepted and exemplified in the affairs of men and of nations, that which now disturbs us domestically and in world affairs would disappear. It would solve our economic problems. It would create tolerance and promote better understanding. It would protect the weak from the aggression of the strong. It would eliminate selfishness and greed that bring conflict between nations.

Today, the spirit of brotherhood between nations is the fundamental need of the world. The future peace, security, and welfare of the world depends upon the extent to which its principles, based upon equality of man, is recognized, and governments are willing to practice it in their dealings between each other.

It was to accomplish this ideal of brotherhood, 'namely, equality of man, that America has participated in two World Wars and the Korean conflict.

In these conflicts we have given unstintedly of our wealth, our resources, and the precious lives of cur young manhood. All of this was done that the principles of brotherhood might be established and thereby make for peace and security in the world.

We did not engage in World War I. World War II, and Korea to advance the prestige of any king, monarch, or dictator. We did not, as a Nation, seek terri-

torial or material gain. We did not seek anything that was material in character.

We fought for a spiritual ideal—equality and the principles of brotherhood to be applied between nations and peoples.

Notwithstanding victory crowned our efforts we see, today, throughout the world a spirit of deep unrest instead of the tranquility that should come from peace. Fear in its most aggravated form still prevails. Why is this the case? The answer is simple. Because the principle of equality of men, founded upon the principles of brotherhood for which these wars were fought, are not recognized and made the rule of conduct of all nations.

What is the duty of America under these circumstances? Our duty is plain.

We have no right to equivocate, no right to appease, no right to haul down our flag that stands for liberty, justice, freedom, and democracy based upon principles of world brotherhood and the equality of men. It is cowardly to do, so. It breaks faith with those who have died. ) • 4 • ( ONE DOLLAR FOR A FAIRY TALE

Recently, we had a notice in the Vestnik to the readers under 16 that we would pay one dollar for every Czech fairy tale translated into English, if the story is printed in the Vestnik.

A great many children wrote all kinds of stories. But they were not Czech fairy tales written in English. They were just plain English stories.

If you wish to get a dollar for your story, read the rules: (1) It must be a fairy tale about magicians, dwarfs ,witches, animals, fairies, dragons, charms, etc., told to you or read to you in Czech.

(2) You must tell who told you the stor y in Czech.

(3) You must write it in your own words in English.

(4) You must give your full name and age.

(5) You must write it with pen and ink on one side of paper.

(6) You must mail it to Editor of Vestnik.

(7) You may write another story.

EMOTIONAL GROWTH The secure child lives in a world where there are shocks. They may shake him a little, worry him, frighten him—make him a little less sure and and somewhat uhappy—but if he knows that he is loved and protected, he will be basically secure The secret of emotional 'growth lies in this: at some point in his growing up, armed with his security, he will learn to withstand the shocks and frustrations of childhood, adolescent and adult living. He has to learn to face living in this world without the infantile need to expect that his mother, or magic, or his psycho-analyst —or any other substitute for his mother —will smooth the rough spots, or ease his pain, or soothe him with, "Of course I love you. Now do you feel better? .. .

New Methods and Drugs For Cancer Recently, an article was published in the Newsweek magazine which holds high -hopes for the treatment of cancer. According to the article, scientists have closed in on cancer. Progress now can be measured in terms of thousands of lives saved.

Here .are some of the highlight of the article from the Newsweek, May 17, 1954: Today, 30 out of every 100 cancer patients are being cured. In the opinion of Dr. Ian MacDonald of Los Angeles, president of the California division of the American Cancer Society, "good control" is in store for 40 others. "It is even possible with present techniques to double the current cure rate, provided the disease is caught early enough" In the all-out fight against this, the second cause of death in the United States (heart disease is first), resarch and treatment follow three lines: Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, or drugs.Surgery and radiation remain the preferred means of treatment. But this year, for the first time, greater emphasis is being placed on drug research than on these two standard forms. Progress has been rapid. Many experts are now convinced that cancer in the end will be beaten.

In the long-shot gamble for a cancer cure, or cures, researchers are seeking ,1) chemicals that will destroy cancer cells without harming normal cells; (2) drugs that will produce chemical changes iri the patient's own body so that his cancer-infested tissues will not be susceptible to further growth and spread and (3) compounds that will block the ehefnical activity of abnormal cells in the early stages of cancer.

In the last five years, hundreds of druv, both pure compounds and crude substances of natural origin, have been tried out. It takes a long time to establish the value of an anticancer compound. But several drugs are now in widespread use.

type in children is rapidly fatal. The youngster grows pale and listless; his spleen, liver, and lymph nodes are enlarged; his joints are swollen and painful. He has frequent hemorrhages, his resistance to infection weakens, and, within a matter of days or weeks, he dies.

Dr. Sidney Farber, Harvard Medical School pathologist and medical director of the Children's Cancer Research Foundation, Boston, is one of the pioneers who has worked miracles in changing leukemia from an inexorably fatal disease to one which, in most cases, can be contrblled by intensive drug therapy.

While under treatment, these young leukemic patients do not look like sick children; they go to school, play, and are happy. At Dr. Farber's clinic, where more than 500 acute-leukemia patients have been treated in the last five years, one child, a handsome boy of 7 years, is alive and well 59 months after his diagnosis. "Althought there • is still microscopic evidence of leukemia in his bane marrow, life is being prolonged by drug therapy," Dr. Farber said.

Today, in the sunny, gaily decorated Tumor Therapy Clinic in Boston, other child patients who once could not have survived more than six or eight weeks ride a merry-go-round in the center of the lobby, or watch television in a corner. The fact that they are afflicted with still-incurable leukemia and have won a stay from death, in some cases for two or three years, marks a significant step ahead in the cancer battle.

In the new $2.5 million Microbiology Research Center at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J., Dr. Selman A. Waksman, the director, and winner of the 1952 Nobel prize for the discovery of the antibiotic streptomycin, has turned his great talents to the search for other antibiotics that will beat cancer. The Rutgers scientist believes that the key to cancer control may be found among the 105 antibiotic preparations which he and his associates have isolated. Just now there is sonic evidence that actinomycin, one of the first antibiotics discovered by Dr. Waksman, has 'definite use in treating some forms of cancer.

In the last year, there has been spectacular progress in the field of radiation. Today, a cancer patient may have almost any kind of supervoltage treatment of either surface or deep-seated cancer.

eloped by Dr. 41-,chn G. Trump, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'engineer, have been trained on more than 700 patients with advanced cancer of . the thyroid, pituitary, larynx, lungs;,' and pelvic area. For • deep-seated cers, doctors combine the use of this -big machine with the well-known "ro-, tational technique." The patient sits: on a turntable. As it revolves, high X-ray doses are pin-pointed on the- cancer .tar-, get, leaving the healthy tissues un-kuched. "Immediate results look good,". declared Dr. Trump, "and long-term re-, sults look-teneouraging." o o ( • EMOTIONAL CLIMATE . . The most important thing to remember about feelings is that they are not taught—thy are caught. The most important element in the development. of character in the child is the character of his parents. The surest way to have a happy child is to see to it that he has happy parents. The best assur-: ance for a good child is to provide him with good parents.

"Children grow in an emotional climat. They breathe the air of attitudes, joys; ideals, tensions, fears, hates, and loves with which they are surrounded.

We may tell them to disregard us when we spout our wrath, but to no avail. We might as well tell them to hold their breath so that they won't get our measles.

"If the parents are competent and • happy with each other, the emotional • climate for character growth - will be good. True, the weathbr may not always be calm, but in good climate - and good soil, trees grow sturdy enough to withstand an occasional storm.. . . . . Children grow. We cannot, as in building a house, leave off building for a week and then start where we 'left off. Something has happened in the meantime. In life, we are riding in a universe where time and change do not stop. The clock of life is set in motion and we are swept before its ever-moving hand. We can go forward, veer to right or left, perhaps, but we can never go back. Never does the child retrace its steps and return to the fork in the road where the wrong path was taken. There, will be 'other choices tomOrrow,:fortuha.,.. tely, but yesterday's are gone foreever."

GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH According to the National Better Business Bureau, thousands of Americans are taken each year by bogus home improvement deals. There are hundreds of schemes which have kept racketeers and shysters in business ever since the smooth-talking snake started Eve on a diet of apples in the Garden of Eden.

There is a whole army of top-swindlers who use every angle of various subtle tricks in their effort to prove that suckers are still born every minute. There used to be the "college boy" magazine salesman. The modern version is the "disabled veteran" who makes his sales, then shoulders his crutches and drives off to another lucrative neighborhood.

If you have engaged in the American sport of trading cars recently, chances are you have dealt with some of the trickiest operators in the business. Banking on high pressure techniques, the buyer's lack of technical know-how, and "packing" of time contracts with hidden costs, the shyster fringe of the used car sales business has been unloading a lot of worthless goods on the public— and for a good price.

Because no one likes to admit he's been fooled, this trickery continues to cost Americans millions of dollars each year.

Yet one phone call to check on a questionable business deal or to report a shady transaction could save some of your hard-earned money. Even if you have already been "taken" by a schemer, a report to the Bureau may save others from the same fate.

To illustrate just how this works, let's follow a typical telephone call through the offices of a Better Business Bureau.

Joan Smith was billed $16.50 for goods she never ordered or received from a company she never heard of. At a loss for what to do, she hesitantly showed it to hubby, John, who phoned the Bureau.

His call touched off a wide-spread investigation that uncovered a plan to blanket the city with what appeared to be bills. At the bottom of each, in type so small as to be almost unreadable, it was stated that the bill was only a sample and not to be paid. As a result of the investigation, flash warnings and thousands of form letters were sent out.

By making this call, John and Joan saved themselves and others from paying bills they didn't owe.

But outright swindling is only one drain on the pocketbook; it takes a suspicious nature to recognize the borderline cases—the "wildcat" ads whose fantastic claims are just within the bounds of the law; the slick con-men, whose glib promises won't bear up under

close examination; the "benovelent" organizations whose promoters get most of the -"charity."

By following these few simple rules, you can be sure of getting your money's worth in almost any case.

Don't be high-pressured into buying.

It -bcOk you a long time to earn that money, so take your time spending it.

Examine all goods carefully. Insist on proof of claims and read all guarantees carefully.

Always check credentials of door-todoor salesmen.

Never sign atlything without reading the large print and the fine print and understanding each clause. .. Trade with firms which have a reputation for fair dealings.

Don't believe every claim you read or hear in advertisements.

Keep your money in your pocket when a salesman "knocks" an advertised article and tries to sell a more expensive one.

At the first twinge of doubt, call your Better Business Bureau, 'Chamber of Commerce, banker or police station.

It is next to impossible to see through all the swindles that are hatched in the minds of racketeers. Yet you should know the most common typeS. You may save yourself money and embarrassment. Here are a few that can make your pocketbook much lighter.

Fake Charity Solicitations: Promoters have impressive stationery and -letterhead printed to collect for bogus charities. You may be on their "sucker lists."

What they collect fromyou may go for "organization expense" and for "commissions." The charity organization exists on the paper only.

Unordered Merchandise: This is a time-worn scheme. Any post office clerk could tell you plenty about • this type of racket. It still continues to . work.

There is always the chance that the person who receives it, with a beautifullyworded explanations, will be ashamed not to support the "worthy cause. "• The schemers figure that those who receive the unordered article will pay the price.

You are under no obligation to pay for it or to return such merchandise, Appliance Repair and Installation: This scheme was near the top of the lists in many locations in 1953. Shady re-. pair outfits often sell used or inferior parts for repair work and installation • I of TV sets and the like.

Easy term Loan Outfits: Shaky loan crinpanies lend money painlessly on little or no collateral. Too, often the contracts are full of hidden catches.

Easy Cures: Quacks turn out -"met' remedies for baldness, -cancer, a,nd 'that--. run-down feeling' by carloads. Ordering' such products endangers not Only yottr , • money but your life.

Coupon Books: A new twist to an Old swindle is the man who sells coupon books supposedly good for merchandisel. or service in local stores. One establish-ment had so much of this free busine&S that it had to close; others refused 'to.; honor the coupons.

There are many new variations of these old schemeS. Some are so subtle'' as to fool almost anyone--even you -rohy be fooled. So, to quote the warning .slos gan of the Better Business Bureaus; BEFORE YOU INVEST;—INVESTIGATE! )•

• (

"Enlightened Nagging" Nagging is usually considered obno-, xious. But a special form of it is new be-;, ing recommended by men for use by the, women: "enlightened nagging." This is the recommendation of an official of the American Cancer Society, who recently. said: "We would like to see women,--pis7,. tory's most effective 'medium of commu7, nication—turn their talents to saving,i their husbands from early death by, ; ung cancer. . . They should insist that men with persistent coughs see the doctor., Because most men are notoriously insen 7-, sitive to seemingly minor symptoms, the, job will not be .easy. In most cases kt, may entail some nagging. But I belieye most women will agree that it is bettey to have a live and healthy husband, how7, ever harassed he may be, than to allow,, him to go camplacently to an untimely, grave."

ONE-DOLLAR FAIRY TALES THE WEASEL WHO GOT PUNISHED (By Betty Staglik, age 12) Deep in a forest at the foot of a hill was a large flat clearing where most of the happy animals lived. They liked their home very well, but they were afraid of the big bad weasel, who killed some• of the animals and drank their warm blood: .Every day he came looking for food and the poor animals had to run and hider Sometimes he caught one and sometimes he wouldn't. The animals decided 'to have a meeting to find a way to get rid of the big bad weasel.

They appointed a squirrel to try to get rid of him. The next day a grasshopper saw the weasel sneaking into the clearing so he made a noise to warm the animals to go in hiding. The squirrel• sat on a low branch of a tree. The weasel saw him and his mean conscience told him to go eat the squirrel. FIe sneaked closer and the squirrel climbed higher and began shaking the pine tree until a green gummy pine cone fell on the weasel's tail and stuck there. He tried to pull the pine cone loose with his teeth, but all he got was a mouth full of green sap. Then he decided that he would run real fast that it might fall off. So he began to run. As he was running across a creek, he ran into a bush and knocked a little honey bee into the water. Her wings got wet and she was drowning.

A- dove was perched in a tree near-by watching. He plucked one of his feathers and dropped it to the helpless bee. The bee crawled on the feather and waited until her wings were dry so she could ,,fly to tell the mother bee what had hap' ,pened. The bees decided to take over to get rid of the weasel.

The next day as the weasel came sneaking into the clearing, the dove .;gave the bees a signal to get ready. All ,-, • the bees swarmed down upon him and stung him all over. Again he began to •irtin, but he didn't get far because everywhere the bee stung him it began to swell up. One eye swelled shut, and he had swellings all over him. He could hardly drag along so lie gave himself a promise that lie would never go back '-again. After a few days the pine cone dried up and fell off his tail and the swellings went down.

Each time he went through the wood -he -took the long way around and never •• bothered the animals again and they all lived happily ever after.

DEER WITH GOLDEN HORNS (By Robert Sill, 11 years old) Once there lived a deer with golden horns in a deep forest. He was king of all deer.

A little orphan boy wandered into the forest looking for berries and became lost. It was late and a storm was com:ing fast. The little boy didn't know where to go.

The deer with golden horns found him crying, and asked: "What are you doing here alone?"

"I'm an orphan and became lost hunting berries for my supper."

You may st9,y with me if you keep and clean my house," said the deer.

"Oh, thank you, kind deer," said the boy.

"But you must beware of the Bad Fairies who will try to get you. Keep the d: or locked."

"I will, I will," promised the boy.

So early in the morning, as the deer went to eat grass, the boy locked the loor. In a very short time the Bad Faires came calling: "Little boy, little boy, please let us in. It is so cold. We want to warm our hands."

The boy wanted to see the Bad Fairies, so he opened the door only a crack. In jumped the Bad Fairies and grabbed him.

He called, "Help! Help! Help me, my golden horns, the Bad Fairies have me."

The deer came running and saved the boy.

After that the boy did as he was told.

He lived many years with his frienddeer. ) 4, 4. ( MOTHERLESS CHILDREN (By Edwin Kamas, Age 12) Once there was a period of drought that the people could not raise any crops.

What was planted, stayed in the grouki.

People were starving and dying. When the news came to the young king, who ruled the land, he called in his ministers and advisers to discuss what to do.

All the king's advisers were young, too.

They told the king that there would be enough bread in the land, if he ordered all the old' people to be drowned. The king did not want to do it at first, but his advisers kept on talking to him.

Finally, he sent out his young generals to drown every person who was more than forty years old.

There lived three brothers whose mother died when they were young. But their father reared the three sons in such a way they never missed their mother. When the king's order reached the three brothers, they took their old father to a cellar. There he lived for

many months. The boys kept their father there and shared with him every meal they managed to get. He stayed there through the fall and the winter.

In the spring, when the snow melted, the three brothers wanted to plant some grain, but there was not a single grain to plant. They asked their old father what to do.

"You have a thatched roof on the house. Take the straw, thrash it so long until you chop the straw into tiny bits.

Then you plant the straw."

The three brothers did as they were told. In one week the field was green. In two months the field had such a wonderful stand of ripe wheat that the people Were traveling from afar to see the miracle.

The king heard the report about the wheat crop of the three motherless brothers. He sent his general to bring the brothers before the king.

The brothers were frightened what was going to happen to them. They went in the cellar to see their father and asked him what to do.

"Go and tell the king nothing but the truth."

When they came before the king, he angrily asked them why they saved the grain for planting since everybody was so hungry. They told the king about the advise their old father told them to chop the straw from. the roof of the house and plant it. "And now we are ready to die."

The face of the king brightened up and he said: "Go and bring your old father to be my adviser."

The king placed the old father near his throne and listened to him as long as the old father lived. And be named the three motherless brothers his best, generals. )• •'( A WATERMAN AND JOHN (By Clara Kuban, Age 11) Once there was a pretty boy who had a pretty grandmother. He was always glad to visit his grandmother. But he didn't have a way. Grandmother lived a long way from him.

One time he told his father, "If I had a bicycle, I could ride to see grandmother." iHs father thought it would be good to visit her. He bought John a bicycle.

John wrote and mailed a letter which said: Dear Grandmother, I will come over to see you Sunday. Love, John.

She fixed a good dinner for John. She waited for John to come. It was one o'clock after dinner and John wasn't at

Viisttelyytrhi jej na chvili ze strnulosti, i vstal, pro gel kremat a objevil se na prahu v okina giku, kdy Enjolras zvolal: "Cog tu neni _nikolio?"

Stake gel ptimo k Enjolrasovi a vzal mu prapor z rukon. VSichni mu ustupovali z cesty s jakousi zboknou fictou, nikdo se neosnielil zastaviti ho, bez cizi pomeci vystupoval onen osmdesatiletk stares smele po stupnich s dla gdeni na barikadu.

Bylo to nee° tak velkeho a smutneho, ge vgichni obnakili hlavy. Byl to divne uchvacujici pohled, kdyk jeho bile, yetrem rozvate vlasy, bleda tvat, ztrmrlk zrak, fista, jakoby itgasem otevtend a ruka vysoko ttimajici prapor, vystupovaly ze stinu do krvaveho s yetla pochodne.. Zdalo se, ge prikra roku 1793, s praporem revoluce vystoupila ze zeme.

Kdyg se zastavil na vrcholu barikady, nastalo mleeni, jake jen u zazrakfi se objevuj e.

V torn tichu stares zainaval praporem a zvolal: "At' aije revoluce! At' gije republika!

Volnost, rovnost, bratutvi a smrt tyranrim!"

Hlas z ulice zvolal: "Zpatky!"

Mabeuf povznesl prapor jeSte jednou a opakoval: "At' aije repubiika!"

"Palte!" velel hlas.

Druhk vkstrel, podobnk pr ynimu, s Praskotem zasahl barikadu.

Statec kles1 na kolena, pak zase se vztyeil, a upustiv prapor, padi na znak, dia,kcieni, celkm telem, s rukama na prsou skkitenkma. Tvak mel obracenou k nebi, jako by jests hledel na hvezdy.

VSech povstalcri zmocnilo se velike pohnuti, zapomneli i na opatrnost, a nilbligili se s fictou k mrtvole.

"Hie, obeane, tu nam dal ptiklad tento stales. My jsme vahali, on se do stavil, my couvali, on neustoupil. Dlouho MI tento eloyek, ale vzne genou smrti skoneil", — mluvil Enjolras ke shroma g -denkm."NyisejrnmtoClabrnme toilet() mrtveha starce, jako bychom

"Pozor!" zvolal.

Vgichni pcvstalci vyrazili zaroveri, jcSte okam.'4ik, a barikada by byla bkvala ztracena, je gto husta rada bodakri se jig leskla nad barikadou. Vojaci vnikali postrannim otvorem, nekteri lezli pies omnibus.

Povstalci s odvahou se branili, jeden z nich vrhl se na yojaka do barikady,jit se Ykraclajiciho, zabil je j , ale sam teg byl zabit. Jakksi vojak vrhl se na Courfeyraca. Jiny, obrovskkch rozmerri, gel s napra genlym bodakem na Gavricichea.

Rana v gak nevygla, Javert vilbee ruenici nenabil. Vojak se dal do smichu a namlril na hogika, ale je gte drive net mohl bodnouti, pustil pugku z ruky a padl. Povstalecka koule sttelila jej do dela, druha pak koule skolila vojaka,, jeng napadl Courfeyraca. Ohledli se. Rany ty vygly od Maria, jen prave vstoupil na barikadu.

"VyhodiS barikadu do vzduchu, ale sebe zaroven s ni," ocipovedel jakYsi vojak.

"Ano. sebe te2!" odpovedel Marius a pristreil pochocleri k prachu.

KdyZ pak se ohlecil, na barikesle nebylc ji/ nikoho. T5toonici opustili sve mrtve i ranene a tlaeili se v neporadku na konec twice, kde znovu v noci zmizeli.

Bariliada byla zachranena. VSichni obklopili Maria.

"Tys piece to?" zvolal Courfeyrac, objimaje sveho pritele.

"Jake to Stesti," zvolal Combeferre.

"Objevil jsi se v pravY eas," dodal I3ossuet "Bez tebe bych jiZ nelil," f•ekl Courfeyrac.

"A ja bych byl probodnut," zvolal Gavroche.

"Kdo je zde vhdcem?" tazal se Marius.

"Ty!" .cdpovedel Enjolras. ttoenici se pak zastavili a2 na konci ulice a netroufali si ku predu. vSak chtel take prohlednouti menSi barika.du, aby se presvedeil, nehrozi-li tarn odtud Zadne nebezpeei.

To v'Se zpiasobila Eponina. Ona sama vhodila panu Faucheleventovi listek s vYstrahou a mela pit tom dvoji myAlenku na zteteli. PtedevSim chtela ochraniti ten dtarn pied utokern lupieft, je2to vedela, ze otec i jeho spoleenici k tonu se chystaji. Za druhe touzila, aby Cosetka Mariovi zmizela s del.

Potom se v mu2skem odevu stale poiloukala po ulici Pit met.

Cosetka, kdyZ se clovedela, jeSte tentYZ veeer mail opustiti byt, snatila se poslati Mariovi nejakYm zpusobem zpravu, Napsala nekelik sla y, poprosila mladeho delnika, jenZ' stab pied domein, aby list zanesl podle adresy, dala rnu za •to pet frankh.

Eponina slibu sice nespinila, ale ze prilake, Maria na barikady, v narue jiste smrti a sama take zahyne.

Podaralo se ji to snadno, jeZto zoufalY 11110:i:ilk chtel za Ita,Zdou cenu zemtiti.

Pak na pr ye Arane zapisniku napsal: "Jmenuji use Marius Pontmercy, prosim, odneste me telo k merau dedovi panu Gillenormandovi, do ulice Fillesdu-Calvaire 6. 6."

Zarrisnik strait do kapsy a zavolal Gavrochea.

Ve . stredu, dne 14. eervence 1954.

Hosik p •ibehl ihned.

"Chce g uciniti nee° pro mne?"

"Ovkin, v2clyt' jste mi zachramil "Hied', tu je list, vezmi jej, odejdi hned odtud, a zitra rano jej odevzdej podle adresy."

"Podle vkho neueini na nas 'atoku pied svitanim, ale barikady tak snadno nedobudou," rekl Marius.

"Snad bych mohl zanesti ten list take zitra rano?"

"To jii bude pozde, barikada bude bezpochyby obklieena, vSecky ulice budou stkeZeny. NebudeS moci dostati se tak snadno odtud. Prosim to, jdi hned."

Gavroche se po gkrabal za uchem, a nahle s p•hybem ptaka chystajiciho se k odletu vytrhl Mariovi list ruky.

"Dobfe," zvolal, "je sotva ptilnoc, ulice Homme-Arme nedaleko, budu utikat, odevzdam list a vratim se jeae v eas.”

XXXVII. Kdy2 Valjean, znepokojen Ni lstrahou, uminil sobe vYstehovati se hned z ulice Plumet, poprve v Zivote setkal se s odporem CoseteinYm. Nedal vSak na sobe 'Zadneho strachu pozorovati, jeZto byl pkesvedeen, Ze jim hrozi nejake nebezpeei. Vzal s sebott i sluZku, eehoI nikdy dtive nedinil, jeZto si myslil, 2e se do .stareho bytu jiZ nevrati.

Z veci nevzali temof nideho, jeZto Valjean nechtel, aby lido o jejich stehovani yeah. Vzal jedine svou nerozluenott skrinkit, Toussaint svazala nejnutiiejSi veci do uzliku a Cosetka si. vzala jedine papiry a podloZku na psani. Do jiZ v ulice Homme-Arme Cloy& se oby'aejne prave tak rychle jako znepokoji. Valjean se citil v to odlehle, tiche uliece upine bezpednSlm, a prespal tez onu noc klidne. Rano se probudil v dobrem rozmaru, Cosetka v gak se u snidane ani neobjevila, a priSla tepr y k obedu.

Potom vgak hned ode gla do sveho pokoje, tvrdie ze ji boli hlava.

Valjean, zUstav sanz, zaCal prochazeti se po pokoji a kouti plany do budoucnosti. Nahle se zastavil a udivene i ohromene se zadival. V zrcadle visicim nad stolkem od •aZela se docela zketelne tato slova: "Milj drahSr ! Otec muj si uminil, ihned odtud se vystehovati. Dnes veeer budeme jiZ v ulici Homme-Arme C. 7. Nemohia jscm odejiti, ani bych to s Vami nesdelila. Za tYden odjadime do An-glie.

Cosetta Faucheleventova."

Cosetka zaponinela na stolku pod nakkmenSim zreadlern svou podlotku na

VESTNiK -L WEST, TEXAS psani, otevfenou prave v miste, kde byl pijak. Pismo na pijaku se otisklo opaene a tipine neeitelne, nyni v ga.k v zrcadle dalo se ptedisti, je2to se tarn odra'Zelo v privodni sve podobe.

Valjean popoSel k zrcadlu, p •eeet1 je7 Ste jednou tech nekolik tadek, a nechtel ani viastnim syYm ()dm veriti. Podival se na pijak, nemohl na nem nite.ho preeisti, a myslil, ze se mu to jen zdalo. Jakmile v'Sak pHblizil pijak k zrcadlu, opakovalo se tota oa drive, byl tedy nucen, smiriti se se skuteenosti.

Pochopil vSe a ucitil v srdci velkY JeSte nikdy v celem Zivote vzdor tolika Utrapam tak netrpel. Zdalo se mu, 'Ze ho olupuji o nojdraZSi skvost, ze Cosetka ho prestane milovati, a ze ji navfidy strati. Nyni si pripomenul Hume podmbnosti a domyslil si, kdo asi jest ID, nim jejim "clrahYm". Byl to zajiste tentY'2 mladik, s nim2 se v lucembarske zahrade setkrivali. Tedy jiZ davno se milovali, a on o torn vribec ani nevedel. Citil hroznou nenavist veci tomu eloveku, jako veci nekoir.u, kdo nam here, co je nam na svete nejdraZ§1..

KdyZ tak seal pohrUen v bolne mySlenky, veSla Toussaint.

"Nevite y kterych mistech se biji?" otazal se.

"Zda se mi, ze je to v okoli SaintMerry, tarn «ltud slySeti vYstrely," odpovedela sluZka,.

Valjean citil potrebu pohybu, einnosti.

Vykl na ulici, zapomenuv pH tom i na klobouk. Usedl na prah domu a naslouchal. Bylo jiz frpine tma. .Zaponinel vSak, co chtel einiti, a pohki2i1 se zase v ponure mySlenky. Sam- potom nevedel, jak. dlouho tak sedel. Patrne velmi cllouh.o.

Ulice byla prazdna, vSude ticho. Nahle vyskoeil. Ze strany trZite" utslySel pak druhY. Za chvili si zase sedl a sklonil hlavu na prsa: Za nedlouho potorn usly gel rychle kroky na ulici, povZnes1 zrak a spatril maleho poskakujiciho hoeha. Byl to Gavroche, a hledel vzhilru, jako by neco hiedal. Valjean pocitil velkou chut', promluviti s tim ditetem.

"Chlapeeku," optal se, "co hledaS?" "E co, .main hlad," odpovedel Gavroche, "a pro vas vilbec nejscm chlapeekern. Koneene, co je yam do toho?"

Valjean vyrial z kapsy pet frankii.

HoSik v torn okam2ikti zpozoroval rossvicenou lucerne.

"Co to znamend, u vas tu jeS• te sviti lucerny? To neni v poi.kdku, to muesim rozbit." tka, to praStil do lucerny kamenen-t, jejit' sklo s itinkotem se rozletka, obeane ye syYch postelich se zachveli.

Lucerna shasla, tma rozestkela se po cele uliei.

"Tak je to dobre, jdi spat, stara ulice!" zvolal Gavroche.

Strapa 27 Valjean mu vtiskl pet frankil do ruky.

Gavroche pozvedl hlavu, •OaslY nad velikosti penize. PohliZel nail po tine.

Belost a lesk penize jej oslriovaly,,,jeZto az posud tolik penes v rukou nemel. Za chvilku v:.>ak piece vztahl ruku s penizern k Valjeanovi a rekl hrde: "Obeane, ja piece radeji tlucu luceny. Vezmete si sve penize spet, podilititi se nedam."

"ItIc'Js matku?" tazal se Valjean., "Zajiste," odpovedel Gavfeche.

Nu2e, dej ten peniz sve matce."

Gavroche byl dojat, ten elovek boz • klobouku budil jeho driveru.

"Ale mohu rozbijeti lucerny?" tazal se je:§te.

"Tlue sobe, co' cheeV "tiidtm, Ze jste kednY elovek," vrcche a schoval penis do kapsy, "Bydlite v too ulici?"

"Arno, proe?"

"Snad byste mi mohl ukazati eislo 7.

"A nee to eisle potrebujeV" vehal. Myslil si, Ze jiZ, rekl, mroho, i zatahl se prudce za ylasy a Er 16c1: Valjeanovi projela hlavou mySlenka.

Snad mi prinaSiS list, na kterY prave eekam?"

"Vy? Vy piece. nejste Z'enska," odpovedel Gavroche.

"List ten jest pro sleenu Cosetu, ze ano?"

"Cosetu," zabrueel Gavroehe, "ano, zda, se mi, ze je ale to sineSne jrnenva napsano."

"Dej mi ten list, eekedn •prave mem ji ho odevzdati."

"Pak teciy take vite, Ze prichazim s barikedy."

"Ovkai," odpovedel Jean Valjean.

Gavroche vynal listek z kapsy, potom vzdal vojensky pozdrav a zvolal: "Ta depeSe pechazi od prozatimni vlady•" "Dej ji sem!" rekl Valjean.

"Vypadate jako radnY elovek, dodal jeSte Gavroche.

"To byste to vyvedl. Pfichazirn z berikady v ulici C'hauvrerie a hued se tam zase vre.tim. Dobrou noc, obeane!"

Gavroche odkvapil a zmizel ye tmach.

O SKLADATELI "BEER BARREL POLKA" To veru nikomu nenapadlo, ze tahle eeska lidova, polka se stane tak slavnou pisniekou. Nenapadlo to skladatele, kdy2 ji skladal, ani nakladatele, kdy2 ji davno peed velkou vyda.val. jaromir Vejvoda ji jiste eadi ke \teem tern •svYrn fiznYm polkam, jichz ma dost a ktere hravala jeho kapela na balech a Muzikacir. Ale to u2 ma tak nektera pisnieka etesti. Lid si libi jeji melodii, rnelOdie se pak peeliva z mesta do mesta, ze zeme do zeme, peeplouva i Aire oceany a pak je to opravdu svetovY elagr.

ZbraslayskY muzikant, skromnY kapelnik, kterY po muzicirovani na vojne seskupil na Zbraslavi kolem sebe hrstku muzikantti, s nimi2 hral na badech, muzikach, lidovYch slavnostech a take politThech, zaeal psat takove lidove poleiaky a valeiky pro to svou bandu muzikantskou a vabee pro poteeeni lidu obecneho. Aby pri tanci vejskali nebo vzpominali, nebo i zavzdychali.

Kolikrat se vyhravalo v sale hoopody "U Vejvodir, nebot' Jaromir Vejvatla je z hospody. Tatinek byl na Zbraslavi genkftern. A ten hostinec uz zustal v rodine, kt4 se Jaromir Vejvoda pMenil do Modtan, taky 'do hostince.

A tady na Zbrasla ysku a IVIode&nsku tedy byl a je znam. Jako kapelnik, jako skladatel lidovYch pisni, i jako tats to Mi. A za okupace jen tak jako v mlhach zaznivala jedna eeska polka tu a tam al

americkeho a britskeho rozhlasu a napovidalo se, Ze veichni ti spojeneeti zapadni vojaci tahnou proti nacismu za beeskne melodie pisnieky "Skoda lasky", kterou sloZil eeskY kapelnik. Nu, a kdy2 to ti zapadni vojaci prorazili a hnali se za Nemci as do jejich vlastni zeme a vyhra11 tuhle velkou invasi a valku, pak jsme se to dovedeli tr" docela jasne, ze je to Vejvodova polka "Roll out the Barrels".

A po dem nikdy tenhie modranskSr kapelnik nesnil? Ze mu stiskne ruku president. Ze mu stisknou ruku amerieti a anglieti generalove, kteki peijeli do Prahy a kteri si zpivali tuhle pisnieku spolu s vojaky a narhotniky. Ze mu stiskne ruku britskY velvyslanec Kapelnik Vejvoda je skromnSi, Kdy2 se ho ptali, co tomu kika, tomu iispechu, tak se jen usmal a fekl: "Marn velkou radost, 2e se to libi • . .

A uvedomme si koneene veichni, co takova prosta pisnieka doka2e. Dovede poteelt, dovede rozeheat, dovede dat silo i vzdor. Dovede rozne2nit teeba jedno smutne srdce nekde v koutku, jako dovede vest statisice vojaktt do ptednich bitevnich ead. A proto, prosim vas, vy velci esteti, suclte spravedlive a nehazejte do pytle "odrhovaCek" veechno lidove.
