Zprava je zajimava, a proto vyberu z ni nektere hlavni body.

Oct ledna do dubna, ziskali nagi organisatofi 475 novYch Clem, ktefi si vzali za $617,000 pojigteni. V dubnu, kvetnu a eervnu zapsali organisatofi 390 elena a $424,500 noveho pojigteni.

Organisaeni pfednagky byly konany na desiti rnistech. Schaze organisatort byly svolany na sedmou hodinu veeer a trvaly do deseti hodin. Ptedna.Sly vedl redaktor Vestniku.

Ve schazi v Corpus Christi dne 25. kvetna byli nasledujici: Holasek, Ilranie147, Kalenda, Rektotik a StaSa. sehilze v Placedo 26. kvetna

Ve schtze v Temple dne 8. eer yna bylo pfitomno osm mistnich organisatort: Brtigova, E. J. Hejl, H. H. Hejl, Jakubec, Navratil, Marek, Shiller a Tyroch. ✓ techto desiti organisatorskych schtzich bylo piitomno celkem 65 mistnich pracovnikt. Aby se zjistilo, zdali pkednaSky jsou prospeane, Hlavni iffadovna vede pfehled dinosti tech, kdo dostavaji instrukce, a take tech, kdo neptijdou do schtizi organisatorskYch. ✓ prvnim distriktu bylo 17 Organisatora, kteii pfigi na pfednaAky. Tito organisatofi upsali v kvetnu a eervnu za $30,000 pojiSteni. ✓ druhem distriktu pfislo na prednaSky 13 organisattorti, kteri v dervnu upsali za $42,000 noveho pojiSteni. ✓ 0.tem distriktu zudastnilo se pfed naSek 9 organisatort, kteti v kvetnu a dervnu upsali za $25,000 pojiSteni.

Organisatofi Lesteho distriktu, prisli na pfednaSty, a bylo jich 23, se zadrZeli nejlepS1, nebot' v kvetnu a dervnu upsali za $91,000 noveho pojiSteni. ✓ sedmem distriktu bylo jen pet organi.b,tort ye schtizi v Corpus Christi. Tern, kdo bydli od Kenedy smerem severnim, nebyly poskytnuty 2a.dne predna2ky.

Zprava bratra Marka nepodava p•ehled dinnosti organisatort v tketim a ye etvrtern distriktu, ponevad2 pkedna:Sky v tretim distriktu budou poskytnuty koncem tohoto mesice. Na etvrtY distrikt dojde a'Z 'lady pozdeji.

Zajimave je, Ze ac do pfedna gek ptglo 65 organisatort, pouze polovina jich mfde se vykazati svYm Aspechem od doby, kdy jim byly instrukce poskAnuty. tf

Ve zprave bratra Marka bylo vyjmenovano 16 novYch organisatort, kteld se pH= hlasili k naborove praci od 1. ledna tohoto roku. Nektefi z nich se prihlasili za organisatory teprve pied nekolika tYclny. Devet z techto 16 novYch ji2 upsalo za $37,000 pojiSteni.

Ale zprava bratra Marka podala tea seznam tech, kteti letos neziskali jeSte ani jednoho Mena. Je tech organisatort pies sedmdesat. A mono tea doznati, 2e prevana vetaina techto sedmdesati or ganisatort dosud nebyla ani v jedne organisatorske schtzi, ani loni, ani letos.

Hlavni Uradovna se usnesla, aby Vera° neeinnYm organisatortim bylo poslano osobni ptipomenuti kaZdy mesic, v nadeji, 2e do pri2ti schtize Hlavni tiadovny v rijnu kaalY z nich bude mod se pochlubiti nej akYm, prirtistkem.

V dubnove schtzi Hlavni Madovny se rokovalo o torn, 2e nekteri organisatori nemaji 2adneho zajmu. Proto v dubnoye schtzi vypsala Hlavni tradovna lest odmen pro WO distrikt, aby se vetSi zajem vyvinul. Zda, se, ze. zapas mezi or ganisatory . se bude stupriovati. V dervnu bylo upsano za $184,000 noveho pojigteni, ale v prvni polovici dervence prislo ji2 za dye ste tisic novYch pfihlaSek. Mand, ze mesic eervenec bude as dosud nejlepv naborove dinnosti. Mo2na sirn take, 2e posledni mesic soute2e—srpenbude jegte lepsi, zvlaste kdy2 by se tech sedmdesat neeinnYch probudilo a pustilo do prate.

Uprimne teecn o, naSe SPJST potfebovala by vice nad genYch a schopnYch organisatort, kteri by mohli venovati naborove praci bud' pinY svuj eas nebo vice volneho easu. V naSich •adach manic na tisice tech, ktefi nemaji dostatek 2ivotniho pojiSteni a pot •ebuji ho. A take ma,me v Texasu na sta deskYch rodin, ktere nemaji 2adne poji gteni.

ties. 0 tomto bude podana obgirnejM zprava v zapiseich tajemnika.

Koneene jsme do g li k tome, ze si ATMmame naborove einnosti pri jednani ye schtizich Hlavni ritadovny, jak bratr August Kacir jiZ pied mnoha lety propagoval. KdyZ celSr porad a prilbehschitze rozdeli se na veci administrani, agitani a investidni, odhadoval bych, ze dervencova schrize, kterd trvala celkem devet hodin, venovala naborove einnosti a prehledri prace naMch organisatorti taktka dye hodiny. Wei investient, totiZ pitjeky, majetky a zpravy reditelii a pokladnika zabraly rovneZ nee° pred d y e hodiny; administrant, jako etent protokolu, zpravy Urednikti, zalelitosti kancelarske, vyZadovaly asi tri hodiny; a rozhovor o hnuti omladiny trval asi hodinu. VS'e Mo svorne a hladce, y e snaze prospeti Jednote spoleenS7m Usilim a planovanim pro budoucnost. Jen peed ukonCenim schrize predseda dovolil na nekolik minut projednavati \red podkadneho qznaniu, ktere ani nestoji za zminku„ponevan byly to veci osobni. OdjiZdel jsem ze schrize s uspokojenim, ze Urednici a reditele probrali rozvHne problemy spolku, rozumne vyreMli predlehajici otazky a nastinili smernice k dalMmu vzrristu nail SPJST, Je v g ak jedna maliekost, ktera cone p okade y e schtizi Hlavni firadovny di, asi jako malt' kaminek y e strevici. Dokud elovek stfevic nevyzuje, stale tlaei.

A dokud dlovek nei-ekne, co .ho znepokojuje, neni -alevy. KdyZ si uvedomim, jsme deskSr m spolkem a ze nasi firednici dosud museji psati Ceske dopisy a zpravy, nemohu pochopit, prod v kancelat'i nemaji aspori jeden psaci stroj, kter r by met eeska pismena. Je pravda, ze ee'Stina 00 malu zanika, ze tech CeskYch dopisti je elm dale tim meta. Ale dokud Ceske dopisy z fistredny budou vysilany, krou'Zkovane "a" na konci slova bude (Watt rozdil, jako ve slovech "Menu" a "'dente', "certifikd tu—certifikdttr "pozemku--pozemkil". Oe g tina je nesnadnd • ree, to uZ" proto, ze je velice ohebna a da.kladnd ye s y STch odstinech. tiejme tomu, ze redaktor by nemel CeskY stroj a chtel by napsati vetu, aim a souseddv dviir jsou jen lakes mustek za potilekem." Kdybych nemel CeskY psaci stroj, veta, by vyhlAela asi takto: "Tvtlj Om a soused$v dv$r jsou jen pees m$stek za kern." A kdyZ' jde z fira.dovny do SVeta eeskSr dopis, nem$Zeme v$bec zd$razniti vzr$ste Clen$. Je to jen malt' kaminek, ale Casem tlaCi. Jsme tretim nejvetAim CeskYm bratrskYrn podpihnYm spolkem v Ameiice, cos nom diva prdvo na jeden CeskY psaci stroj. Nespacia to prirno pod Cldnek druhy v naSich stanovach, ale je to veci sluS'nosti a vaZnosti Ceske veci v dopisech z Ustredi.

0 einnosti domieich iathi byli ve.irestlaiku minulaw tSrdne jen jeden kratAi do-

Ve stiedu, dne 21. 'eervence 1954. pis. Mame asi etyficet fada, ktere konaji (nebo "odbkvaji") sve schiize prvni nedeli v mesici. Asi polovina domacich fadil kona sve schfize druhou nedeli.

Jaksi to dopisovani do Ceske easti ochabuje. Mohl bych jmenovati tfi lady, ktere maji pies 400 elenii, konaji sve schilze pravidelne, ale od fadt pfichazeji toliko resoluce soustrasti. Nekdy si myslim, zda by pomohlo, kdyt bych sam napsal nejakou vhodnou resoluci sou• strasti °nem fadtim, aby je tajemnici onech tacit pfeeetli ve schfizi. A ze neni o eem psati? Sahnete do starch protokolnich knih, kde jsou zaznamy, jak vas fad pracoval pied etvrt stoletim. Opiate nekterY protokol ze schaze pied 30•40 lety, a budete miti dosti latky k rotjimani. Nebude tfeba redaktora, aby yam delal vYaitky:' K teto zde uvedene poznamce. mne bratr J. V. Havlik, dopisovatel od kadu eislo 165. Poslal mi vknatek z protokolu sestaveneho vice net pied 50 lety. Zakladajici elenka SPJST, sestra Terezie Valentova, dnes jit pies 80 let stard, ugila pro fad eislo 10 v Shiner spolkovk prapor. Jeji fee, kterou pronesla pki cklevzdani praporu, byla protokolovana. Bratr Havlik poslal mi tento ty den opis feel, ktera znela: "Bratfi, sestry a pfateler Kterak by srdce neplesalo, kdyt je mi popfano hledeti na tak eetnou spoleenost. Kterak by se nemela dmouti prsa nas vgech hrdosti, kdyt zde vidite, bratil a sestry tohoto fa.du, novk prapor vas. Neni na nem zlata, ani drahych kament, ale vkznam jeho udini jej dratgim nad poklady sveta yam, bratrum a sestram mirumilovnkm. Vatim si dvojnasobne velike to cti, ze mi uloteno, abych stala se matkou krasnemu praporu tohoto glechetneho a dobroeinneho spolku. Odevzdavajic, co matka jeho, yam jmenem vkboru skvostnk prapor vas, a kladouc jej do rukou va gich, pfeji yam to eiste rozko ge, ze domohli jste se klenotu toho; a pfeji yam, by gifila se mezi vami laska bratrska, byste si rozumeli ye svkch tutbach, byste pomahali vdovam a sirotkarn, byste vtdy na zfeteli meli he slo nage: Podpora, Lidskost, Bratrstvi.

Doufarn, te pod praporem timto verne plniti budete fikol svfij, tak jak se slu gi na bratry a sestry Slovanske PodpUrne Jed noty Statu Texas. Dekuji Vam vgem."

Stafieka sestra Terezie Valentova path nyni ke spolku eidak eislo 165, ale byla zakladajici elenkou kadu TexaskY Mir dislo 10, a fee svou pronesla v roku 1899.

Je mnoho zajimayjrch fed ve yagich starch protokolnich knihach. Bylo by zahodno vynesti nektere ty zapra gene a zapomenute perlieky °pet na svetlo denni. Mluvil se mnou neda yno bkvalY ta.jemnik jednoho zanikleho faclu. Pravil mi, abych ho pkijel navg tivit, ae ma doma zalickolik protokolnich knih;

V ESTNiK — WEST, TEXAS lo2eni a waist fadu, kterk trval pies 40 Pry jsou v zapiscich mnohe zajimavosti. Slibil jsem, ae zajedu k nemu, jakmile mi eas dovoli.

Jii nekolikrat iadal jsem na ge stargi eleny, aby mi oznamili, kde maji stare roeniky novin anebo stare kalendate, z nich bych mohl vybrati Zivotopisy starYch nagich pionkrti. Takove historicke parnatky lezi nekde nepav gimnuty. Otec s matkou, nebo dedeeek i babieka schovavali a opatrovali riizne easopisy, ponevadt v nich byly poznamenany tivotni zkugenosti pfatel a sousedil. Takove veci zustavaji dnes zaloteny, az kdosi pozdeji vyhodi je mezi odpadky a smeti. Za rok, za dva, za pet rokti nekterY nag mladik nebo (levee dostane napad, nebo pokyn od svkch profesoril na universite, aby sestavil anglickou knihu, v nit byl by popsan tivot starousedlikil v Texasu. Rad bych uvefejnil znovu nektere stare tivotopisy, psane pro Ceske noviny pled mnoha lety, aby se tyto pamatky zachovaly, vynesly na svetlo, znovu obnovily. Pottebuji pomoc od nagich Cienu, aby mne ozkam bych si pro stare noviny mohi pfijeti. Za katcle sebemen gi upozorneni pfedem srdeene dekuji.

Pomalu by mely od nagich elenfi piichazeti pokyny, co bychom si meli v nagich stanovach. ,Nejde o novoty, ale o zdokonaleni toho, co,jit mame. Nedavno u kadu 8tefanik byly probirany tfi dosti zajimave body. Byla o tom podana zprava v anglicke easti sestrou Amalii Sturmovou, ale mezi eeskkmi otenati stala vec nepov gimnuta. Mame dosti veci, ktere mohly by bkti lepe promy gleny. Uvedu ptiklad.

Hledal jsem jakisi elinek ye stanovich.

Zrak milj padl na Cl. 104, jent zni: "tfedni organ si musi platit sam". Mame v hovorove feel dosti vet, tak zvane jednoMenne nebo 'bez podmetu, jako "ubkva, vody," nebo "udelalo se venku pekne", ale veto. "iitedni organ si musi platit sam" neni upina, pro stanovy. Ov gem vi' me, 'te mluvi se o elenech Detskeho odboru, ale musime se napfed podivat, pod laerYin ohlavenim se tento elanek naleza,.

A o tomto elanku 104—iffedni organ si musi platit sam—mohli bychom zavesti peknou debatu, ani bychom si vjeli do tedy debatu vecnou, neosobni, kritickou. Maine rodinu, kde otec a matka maji 151etou nebo 201etou pojistku. Obe pojistky jsou doplaceny. Rodina ma etyki deti. Vgechny deti byly v Jednote od mladi, tedy pled dosatenim desiti let veku. Dnes otec ma pojistku doplacenou, matka tea, a deti jsou vgichni v skem odboru. Dopi gi na Hlavni ilfadovnu, ";e Aestielenna rodina nedostava Vestnik.

Pfijde mi odpoved', ze dle elanku 104 "fifedni organ si musi platit sam." Neda se nic &lat. Sest elenu v Jednote, maji ve Vestniku obrazek, ze jsou 100% rodi-

Strana 3 114Mitr" na, ale "fifedni organ si musi platit sam.' Jinymi siovy, utracime za vydava ni organu tficet tisic roene, musime getfit. Otce a matku uz mame, deti take, a kdy2 100% rodina chce mit Vestnik, at' si ho nekdo pfedplati. Je to spravne?

Bratr Stehlik od fidu Neodvislost ye Wichita Falls poslal do anglicke easti vjistki&k, kterjr by si mel pfeeisti katdk Clen SPJST, kterk zna anglicky. V elanku, je yysvetleno, jak roste a jakou hraje tivotni pojigt'ovani v teto zemi. Je zjigteno, ze na katdkch 100 rodin v Americe je 79 rodin, ktere maji nejake tivotni pojigteni. Sedm rodin ze sta odklada ze svjrch ptijmil 10% nebo vice do kvotriiho pojigteni. Ve statu Delaware pfipada nejvice pojigteni na katdou rodinu, totlt $9,100 prinnerne. Ve statu Mississippi kahla pojig tena rodina ma priimerne $2,400 poji gteni, cot je ze vgech state nejmen gi obnOs na celou rodinu.

Kolik rodin je u vageho kadt? Jak velike je priimerne poji gteni na rodinu v nagi Jednote? A jestli vase rodina ma $5,000 roeniho pfijmu, odkladate stranou 10% na tivotni poji gteni? Odkladate 5% nebo $250 rodne?

Myglenka sestry Antonie Horakove, elenky Tiskoveho vjrboru, aby deti posilaly anglicke pfeklady deskYch pohadek, zatind se ujimat. Redaktoru pfi glo jit asi deset detskkch dopisti—jente nebyly to Ceske pohadky. Indiani, cowboys a namani loupetnici nejsou v eeskkch pohadkach. Sahnete po star gich roenicich Vestniku, kde uvefejiloval jsem hodne eeskYch poho.dek, pfeetete je Mem, aby je mohly pfelotit do anglietiny. Za katdk p •eklad Ceske pohadky dostane vas chlapec nebo deuce dolar. V anglicke easti je o teto veci podrobne vysvetleni.

Kdysi zdalo by se yam, ie by to byto neco jako plestupek zakona, kdyby kdo pfernlouval noveho elena, aby si vzal nejake jive poji gteni net dotivotni. Dnes nagi organisatofi museji znati mnohem vice o 2ivotnim poji gteni nez znali jsme my pied tficeti lety. Dnes organisator musi bkti nejen zastupcem SPJST, ale take radcem kahlemu elenu, kterY si'to pfej e.

Bratr Pokladnik, p •edseda tietiho distriktu, zve vgechny tady tohoto distriktu do schtize v Ennis. Nezapomente.

Sestra Frances Homola z Bryan, tajem nice tadu C. 39, podnikla vYlet do vjr chodni easti SpojenYch state, redaktoru slala obrazek Sochy Svobody a vgem .etenattim Vestniku upfimny pozdray. ) • et. • S nektedmi dobrjirni vlastnostmi jest jako se srnysly; ti, kdo jsou jich upine. zbaveni, nemohou jich ani chapati, ani jinn porozumeti. ♦ e Jest i takova laska, ze ptemira jeji vy lueuje vegkeru Z'arlivost.

Wheat sve 1001ete pusobnosti pfekoanebo pilvodni 6s nala jednota 6SA. PS. -- jak mezi vami je lepe znama — mnoho krisi vnittnich a vnejtich. Z katde teto krise vytla jednota zdarne ucele/AIM v ptedsevzeti pokraeovati v podposnah nateho lidu a ptispivati ke zlepteni jeho postaveni a k pomoci v zajitteni jim zartidene ochrany a pomoci.

Mistni fadyt caldwellske, ktere spoledne potadaji tuto oslavu, byly zaloteny v 1885 a 1895, a tad v sousednim Bryan byl minter) v rode 1889. Tak jako vzpominame s fictou a laskou zakladatelii jednoty, kteki pked 100 roky dali ji zaklad AT St. Louisu, tak s laskou a uctou vzpominame a blahoptejeme prilkopnikurn, kteti pied 70 roky polozili zaklady k fispetnemu provadeni bratrske einnosti na, texaske pude.

Jejich prace pokraeova,la tak zdarne, te jit v roce 1896 bylo zde v Texasu 23 MO puvodni 6SPS. jednoty. V te dobe prodelavala vtak jednota jednu z nejvettich svYch vnittnich krisi, kdy skupina zapadnich fadil usilovala, o Upravu pojistneho zatizeni v jednot y , proti kteretto reforme se vYchodni tady branily.

Strana 9 DETSKA SVEALAVOST

Vzdorovitost se projevuje nejvice v ranem detstvi. Male deti delaji vSechno naopak a svehlave tvrdi: "Nechci!" "Neudelam to!" Ph protestnim ktiku kopaji nohama, valeji se po zemi nebo se prohYbaji matce v naruei pri oblekani, odpiraji jist, lehnou si na prochazce na zem, hlasite kfidi v tramvaji, zkratka celym svYm chovanim protestuji proti dospelYm. U stargich deti se tento vzdor obyeejne projevuje skryteji.

Toto chovani ditete vytvati stalou ti-eci plochu mezi nim a rodiei a vede pozdeji ke konfliktfun v matetskYch Skolach a s pedagogy've §kole.

Ptieinou tphoto chovani je obytejne, ze dospeli nerozumeji rostouci touze ditete po samostatnosti.

Touha po samostatnosti se zaene u ditete objevovat asi ye stall dvou let al pul ttetiho roku. Dite v to dobe ptestava sobe hovotit v tteti osobe, tika misto "Tommy piljde, udela to" "Ja, ptijdu, udelam to." Stale je sly get: "Ja, sam!" Dite se'snaZi samo jist, samo se umYt, oblekat atd. Toto obdobi vYvoje chape obyeejne okoli ditete epatne. Pro matku je prostai a rychlefSi nakrmit dite nel &kat, al se samo naji a poolvinu rozleje. Je snazei obleknout dite, nel eekat, az na sebe samo natahne eaty. Ale dite se east° pH vnucene pomoei podraldi, protestuje pladem a k •ikern nebo padanim na zem. Postupne se protest rozriista na veechny nabidky dospelYch. Dite se tak chova i ye Skolce a ye skole. Zname i dospele nervosni lidi, kteti se telko podtizuji kazni.

Protesty a vzdorovitost ditete se objevuji hlavne v rodinach, kde se na hovoti podraldene, kde si rodiee dovoluji kfieet na deti a dokonce je bit.

Aby pfede gli tvrdohlavemu chovani, nesmeji dospeli v okoli ditete branit jeho projevtun samostatnosti. Ov gem dite musi vedet, ze nektere veci nesmi delat (ptibldovat se k hoticimu varici, sednout si do otevfeneho okna vysokeho domu, hodit po kamaradu kamenem nebo jinYm telkYm ptedmetem), ale je take neptipustne stale diteti fikat: "To nesmia, nepkekalej, nelez tam, neber to do ruky, jdi od toho dal, bud' tee, nezlob!" atd. Dite ma ptirozenou a opravnenou pottebu brat veci do rukou, i kdy'l se snadno rozbiji, aby se s nimi seznamilo. Z mistnosti, v riiz je dite, 'name odstranit drahe pfedmety, ktere se daji snadno rozbit a U soudu jichl tam neni nutne ti-eba, nebo je umistit tak, aby na ne dite nedosahlo.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR RECENTLY, I GOT ACQUAINTED with a member who told me he enjoys reading the English articles in the Vestnik with the exception of those dealing with life insurance. I wanted to know why he doesn't like the insurance articles. Well, they were very much like chamber of commerce propaganda. "They seem to be written with tongue in cheek," was his comment.

ONE OF THE HARDEST POINTS TO sell is the sincerity of our convictions.

Whenever I go out to solicit a new member, I always carry with me all of the seven certificates which the SPJST issued to me and my wife. It is the only proof of my sincerity. If I expect to get action, I must have proof with motivating ideas.

THOSE SEVEN SPJST CERTIFICATES which I always carry with me remind me of an advertisement by Thorsen and Thorsen, New York insurance firm. It is the famous "Safety Box Letter," written by a husband to his wife to he read when she opens the box to remove his life, insurance policies. It goes as follows: MY DEAR MARY • I HAD A VERY keen delight while I was writing this letter, which I am .Iattaching b3 my life insurance policies. write it because I want you to know just what I had in mind when I planned my life insurance to care for you and our children.

• • POLICY NO. 1: THIS IS FOR $5,000 and is payable to you in cash. I call it a Clean-Up Fund, which you can use to pay current debts — doctor's bills, hospital bills, etc. You will recall how we used to worry — much more than was necessary, I suppose --- over the little debts which were constantly hovering over our heads. This fund will allow you tv pay them off all at once and you can start with a clean sheet.

trees, are all a part cf us, and particularly while the -children are young, you will want them to benefit through those cultural values which our home affords.

I want to feel that it will continue to be your home and theirs. You'll fell more comfortable with the mortgage out of the way.* • • POLICY NO. 3: THIS IS AN INCOME policy, which will pay you a monthly income of $100 as long as you live. This is an intone you will always have, in good times and bad. I, know that your grandchildren will love you as our children do and this will help you to be the kind cf grandmother you would like to be. I wish the income were bigger, but even if it isn't large it is certain.

• • • POLICY NO. 4: THIS I CALL YOUR Readjustment Fund. It will pay you $150 a month for the next 10 years. It stops then — but Grace will be almost 20 and so will Jack, and even if the rest of my estate is gone by that time, the children will be grown up and will be able to take care of themselves. Then, too, 'your income from Policy No. 3 will go on, you know, at the rate of $100 a month as long as you live.

•

•

POLICY NO 5 • THIS IS AN EDUCAcational Fund. It will pay $1,000 a year to each of the children when they are going to college. I have always looked back upon my college days as 1,ery happy days. Perhaps that is because I first met you in college. At any rate, when the big day arrives and they graduate, just give each of them a pat on the back for me.

POLICY NO. 6: I CALL THIS YOUR Vacation Fund. It pays you $500 every year for „five years. You'll receive the eheck on July 1st. Spend it -- ycu three in the summer cottage, if you wish, where we have spent so many happy hours. I look back to those days as the happiest POLICY NO. 2: THIS IS FOR $12,500. days of my life and I want you and the I call it the Mortgage_ Fund. I want you children to enjoy mire of them. to continue to live in our present home.

POLICY NO. 7: THIS IS YOUR PLEASWe have accumulated many fine things together, which have made our house a ure Fund. No one ever got s,o, much genreal home. The -garden, the flowers, the uine fun out of giving others joy as you

always did, and so every November 15th, you'll get a check for $250. Do your Christmas shopping early, as you always have, and wrap up countless bundles in holly paper with Christmas seals and send them off to Aunt Molly, Cousin Harry, and all the rest. Christmas morning with the children always meant a great deal to us and, even if I shall not be there, I'd like to know that Santa Claus still paid our home a visit.

• • THIS INSURANCE PLAN ISN'T ENtirely due to unselfishness, tor during all the years I have been accumulating it, I have had a very real kick out of the thought that you will always say: "Well — Bill may have had some bad habits, but he had some good ones too."

Now keep smiling, my dear, for no matter what happens to the business or the rest of my estate, you are sitting as pretty as you look, and I am glad of it. Affectionately, Bill.

WHEN I THINK OF MY SPJST CERtificates, I always regret that I wasn't able in my younger days to get more , certificates, for instance, seven of them, one called "clean-up fund" certificate, anoth,!.?.r "monthly-income" cettificate, another "readjustment fund" certificate, and so on. Like thousands of other SPJST members, I acquired only one certificate for $1,000 to pay- for my funeral.

Until much later, when I learned more of the various purposes of life insurance, I took out additional certificates from the SPJST which would provide regular monthly income to 'my wife. * BUT THERE ARE NOT MANY SPJST members who see the real value of the SPJST certificates. Either they still think in the terms of funeral expenses or they call it "chamber of commerce propaganda," as my new acquaintance termed it.

They should read again and again the above "Safety Box Letter." If there is a mcntgage to mar the happiness of the family, they should consider the SPJST Mortgage Cancellation plan. And they certainly should 'think of a regular monthly income for the widow.

YOUR TELEVISION GRIPES You probably will find that you have three specific gripes about television as it affects children. " 1. Mediocre programs. What most kids look at, day in and day out, adds up to pretty uninspiring stuff. Programs on scientific subjects, music, and art are few and far between.

2. Too much violence. Almost every other program has its share of bloodchilling horror.

3. No do-it-yourself stimulus. Better than any other medium, television could encourage youngsters to make, build, paint, sew or do things.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES ENNIS LODGE NO. 25 Fourth of July, always an important celt, oration with Lodge No. 25 has come and gone. Probably very few of the people who celebrate with us realize what a beehive of activity goes into its preparation. The bevy cf members who keep busy for a week or more to prepare for this day must have truly been gratified by the large attendance, and the resulting good success of the day.

The day began at nine o'clock, but of course, by then the sisters had spent many hot hours in their own kitchens tt3 prepare the good ford they are noted for.

They had been notified by sister Kudrna as to what would be needed for the dinner held from 12 to 2. The lodge is truly grateful for your donations, dear sisters and wants you to know that the earnings of the kitchen will go back into the kitchen in some form of improvement. The cakes donated for the cakewalk bought in an amount over $50,00 which also will be a part of the kitchen fund. Mrs. Joe Martinek was in charge of the kitchen having been appointed in the June meeting. She has agreed to re main in charge for the remainder of the year. She was very ably assisted by sisters Noyy, Hrabina and Trojacek and a host of other willing workers. The ones named we were still there at at midnight and judging by their tired looks I would say it had been a hard day. No medals girls, but a lot of sincere appreciation to all of you.

Brother John Hrabina was in charge of Bingo and helping him were Dolfie Hrabma, Adolf Honza, Mary Ilaskovec, Johnnie Warm, Frank Jurica, Ernest and Ann Haskovec, and Alvin Nesuda.

Brothers F. B. Vrla and Wesley Honza were busy with the grocery concession.

Ice cream dispensers were brothers Edwin Nesttda and Josef Haskovec. I understand your profits melted but nevertheless I imagine the children liked the icecream while ice cream was served.

Mildred Trojacek and Wilma Nesuda were in charge of the Cake Walk. Brother George Trojacek helped with this as well as in the Bingo stand and just about anywhere that help was needed.

Busy in the soft drink stand were Stanle y and Charlie Trojacek and Antone Cikanek.

Others were occupied with ticket selling and'the many other things that have to be done. Brother Luksa, one of our managers was at the gate in charge of admission. I suspect that brother Joe

Martinek who so ably assists Brother Luksa that we call him manager too, but insists that he is only an assistant, was just about everywhere as he had been all of the week before as well as the day after. That hall can be a terrible mess after a day like the Fourth and requires some cleaning to get things back in order.

To all who were so busy go the thanks of the membership of our lodge.

The program prepared by the Sbor Mladeze with Dorothy Kudrna and Dolfie Hrabina in cparge was well presented by the group of young participants. Everyone hopes that they will continue to work together.

The next dance is scheduled for August 1st. Come along and enjoy an evening with your friends at the National Hall.

Later in the fall the members are talking of having something really big.

Just what this shall be will be announced later.

Wilma Nesuda • it. • t SAN ' ANTONIO LODGE NO. 133 Sisters and Brothers: Despite the hot 100 degree weather Sunday, July 11, the meeting of the lodge was very well attended, but there could have been more.

We would especially like to see with us those new members we have recently initiated into our Order. How about it, Sisters and Brothers?

Our entertainment committee came up with an interesting report and that is: we are having a picnic August 10 (Tuesday) in the beautiful Corral Room of the Pearl Brewery. All the sisters and brothers are requested to bring their friends and your own eats. However, you must have a ticket to get in so, don't delay in obtaining yours before they're all gone. Sister Marie Blanar asks all Of you to get in touch with her for these tickets, or you can contact me as I have some on hand, whichever is more convenient for you. You may see sister Murie, also.

Upon the granting of permanent residence to such alien as provided for in this act, the Secretary of State shall instruct the proper quotacontrol officer to deduct one number from the appropriate quota for the first year that such quota is available.

Senator Lehman: Mr. President, I should like to make a brief statement with regard to the bill just passed. I am very happy that the bill has been proved. I have known Alice Masaryk for more than 50 years. She is the daughter of the first President of C'zechosloyakia, Thomas G. Masaryk, who was a great patriot, a great leader, and a great democrat. She is the sister of my very close friend, the former Prime Minister in exile of Czechoslovakia, later Foreign Minister of his splendid Republic, who was murdered or driven to his death because of criminal Communist pressure and action. He was a great man, as was his father—patriotic, loyal and an ever vigorous fighter for freedom. I had the honor of being decorated by him on behalf of his government , the very afternoon he left for Czechoslovakia, from which he never returned.

Annette Rezek ) • 4. • ( JUNIOR CLUB POKROK LODGE NO. $8 To whom it may concern: (Or is it "to who?)

The members of the Junior Club spent a rolicking Fourth at the seashore.

Although the day happened to be the third of July, after the third "go round" (that is, of coke), everyone was willing to use his imagination. The sparks that were flying, weren't firecrackers„ but the red-hot jive, pardon, I mean music of the dance band.

Dinner, being served at 7 o'clock sharp was slightly a hectic affair, with. she bread flying over our• heads, and the juice flying in our eyes, as we tried to ameeze the lemon in our tea. But, with no more than a few little creatures trying

to find their way into the food, we came through with a bang. Or should I say splash? Someone did fall into the water.

'Here is my response to that scorching letter: I saw a locomotive in the railroad yard one day; it was standing in the roundhouse where the locomotives stay.

It was panting for the journey, it was fully manned, and it had a box the fireman was filling full of sand. . • . It appears that locomotives cannot always get the grip on the slender iron pavements 'cause the wheels are apt to slip.

So when they reach a slippery place their tactics they command, and to get a grip upon the rails they sprinkle them with sand. . . .

Then if a common locomotive you completely understand, you'll provide' yourself in starting with a good supply of sand. . . .

ADDRESS OF BRO. JAMES V. KRAKORA Brother Chairman Distinguished Guests — Brothers, Sisters and Friends: I am indeed proud and happy to have been accorded the honor and privilege of participating with you fine people of the great state of Texas in this ceremonial, commemorating the 100th anniversary of our Czechoslovak Society of America, which enjoys the unique distinction of being the oldest of the Fraternal societies now existing in these United States.

The Czechoslovak Society of America was organized at St. Louis, Missouri, by a group of 29 poor, humble Czech immigrants. Originally known in the English language as the Bohemian Benevolent Association, its name was changed to the Bohemian Slavonian Benevolent Society and later still to the Czech° Slovak Protective Society (more commonly called the CSPS) and from 1932 it has operated under its present name, the Czechoslovak Society of America (CSA). To you Texas folks it is without doubt known even to this date under the CSPS name, which are the initials of its original Czech name — Cesko Slovansky Podporujici Spolek — under which it was known from its organization in 1854 until the adoption of its present name in 1932.

It was founded for the humble and noble purpose of providing relief to widows and orphans of deceased members, and to provide aid and assistance in time of illness and misfortune. It is only fitting and proper that we recall at this time — 100 yea ps later — that our Pounding Fathers had no definite pattern or precedent to follow in the organization of their Society since no such organitation was in existence. Along with enlightened groups of other nationalities, all of whom were trying to establish a firm foundation for the economic welfare of, their peoples in a larid, whose language and customs were strange to them, they started from scratch. They adopted as their pattern the Friendly Societies which had existed in England in the 18th Century, and with great wisdom and foresight developed the pattern of our present day fraternal benefit societies.

It is indeed with great pride and pleasure that we acknowledged the fact that of the several such organizations so founded over a Century ago -- but one survived — but one managed to maintain a continuous, uninterrupted existence and that is our present Czechoslovak Society of America — today the oldest unit in the great fraternal benefit system which now numbers more than

Secretary, Czechoslovak Society America At The CSA Centennial Celebration June 20, 1954, at Caldwell, Texas 10 million members, and which plays such an important part in the national, social and economic life of America.

It is also important to remind ourselves at this time that our fraternal benefit societies are a typically American form of organization — whose counterpart cannot be found in any other country. They are a product of the American soil and of the, American environment under which they developed. Our forefathers --A the Founders of our Society — will deserve the title of Pioneers of the American midwest — Pioneers of American Fraternalism as we know it today.

As it enters upon the second Century of its existence, the Czechoslovak Society of America becothes a precious heritage of the frontier days of this country.

Founded in the stage coach era, it grew up with the country. Founded with 29 members, it has grown to 47,000 members, with over 12 and one-half millions of dollars in assets.

Time does not permit me to recite in detail the countless items of historical significance which occured during the Century of the Society's operation's. Our CSA has made substantial contributions to the development of the American way of life, and has, in turn reacted favorably to every influence exerted upon it by its strictly American environment.

The CSA has weathered a dozen severe industrial depressions during the past Century, which attests to its soundness and stability as an economic force of great value to its members and their families.

The CSA can well boast of an outstanding record of charitable and humanitarian activities, and of great contributions to the moral and spiritual welfare and advancement of the millions of peoples it has served.

Loyalty and patriotism to the United states of America, with firm devotion to its principles of freedom and democracy, 'have been equally attributes of each succeeding generation of members as they were those of its Founding Fathers. Its sons and daughters have served with honor and Heroism in every war in which our country has been engeged, and hundreds upon hundreds have paid the supreme sacrifice to protect and defend the principles upon which our great country is founded.

The GSA has been unwavering in its

faith and devotion to these traditional American principles. In no - uncertain terms has it condemned and rejected the principles of totalitarianism in any and every form. We have pledged, and will remain faithful to that pledge, to • fight with all the power at our command, any foreign ideology which threatens, or • has as its purpose the destruction Of our • • American principles Of liberty and free-; dom.

For 100 years, the CSA, has serried America with credit and honor. For 100 years it has served its members and their families in the true spirit of fraternalism and fellowship. It has never wavered in its primary purpose to be a power for good. It has never betrayed the stirring principles of Equality—Harmony and Fraternity •-- as laid down by its Founding Fathers.

We are indeed proud that our Society has completed such an outstanding record of service — that has made such outstanding contributions to our wellbeing — and that as it enters Upon its second Century -- it is better prepared than ever before in its history to carry out the basic purposes for which it was organized.

While celebrating the Centennial of our CSA, we also mark today the 70th anniversary of the advent of the CSA into the State of Texas. It was in 1884 that the first two Texas lodges of the former CSPS were organized, one at Praha and the other at Ellinger. The two Caldwell lodges, who are our hosts at this great Centennial celebration, were organized in 1885 and 1895, and the lodge in neighboring Bryan was organized in 1889.

For 70 years the CSA — or, as . 0 is better known here, the CSPS --- has played an important part in the life of our Czechoslovak people in Texas. We are indeed proud of the fact, even though • at this time it is not our Society which can claim a record progress and ad vancement in its Texas activities, such as we are able to do in the Eastern States.

In the first twelve years after its advent into the State of Texas, the old CSPS showed great progress in member ship and organization of lodges in various parts of the State. By 1896, it had 23 lodges, and a very efficiently functioning Grand Lodge. , This • growth was attained during a period in which other Western lodges of the Society were clamoring for moclernization of its insurance plans, a reform which could have helped the Soci

ROWENA DOCTOR 41 YEARS ROWENA, July 5 ,-- In the first year out of medical school Dr. John J. Schiller of Rowena earned $280. But he collected only $140. He admits he has always been a poor collector.

"I never made much money," he says, but even so he managed to save enough to accumulate a drug store and some excellent farms. He still retains approximately 1,000 acres of land, mostly in Tom Green adn COncho counties, and he has deeded to his daughter, Pauline, a section of good land. He sold the drugstore to his brother, Joe F., who came here in 1923.

The land itself has turned back to him as much as 200 bales of cotton in a good year. It has some healing qualities for a country doctor's economy, he admits.

A graduate of Tulane University in 1903, Dr. Shiller came to a small community in Victoria County for his first year's practice. Though there wasn't much money — a doctor charged $10 for baby deliveries in those days — there was enough for a living, say Dr. Shiller.

"Good beefsteak could be had for 10 cents a pound, and coffee was about 5 pounds to a dollar."

Fayette County afforded him a bare toehold for another year and then a friend at Moravia in Ellis County prevailed on him to move there. He purchased, for $1,200,. the home of a physician who wanted to move away and took over his practice. He remained there for seven years. He borrowed $200 from his brother-in-law and owed the physician frinu whom he purchased the home $1,000 for which he made a note bearing 8 per Cent interest.

Ur.Shiller had a pony when he started practice, and riding was a litle hard on him. So he went to Schulenburg and made a trade with a hardware dealer for the cheapest buggy he had, one costing445. A set of harness added $11 to the bill, and all of this was on credit, the dealer taking a chattel mortgage. But the .debt was paid off in the next year.

It took about three years to remove the indebtedness on the house.

The rate of pay at the time was $1 per prescription. Obstetrical cases commanded $1.00 per mile on the call plus $10 for the delivery, but in the CzechGerman communities where Dr. Shiller practiced midwives took care of most of the baby cases. They did right well, too admits the physician. One mother, howeVer, :developed an infection and when the Case was referred to Dr. Shiller, he could not save her. He lost one other mother in childbirth over the period of

By Dean Chenoweth Editor, San Angelo Standard-Times years during which he has delivered 1,400 babies.

They're not all paid for, he admits ruefully, adding, "I wish they were."

Deliveries have been made under all circumstances. Once an itinerant in a covered wagon halted by the stockpens in Rowena. It was raining that night, but Dr. Shiller made the call, and by lantern light and in the presence of the family, including the father and three children, another baby was born.

On another occasion he waited on a mother near 1VIdreta. There wasn't even a wash basin at the place and Dr. Shiller used the large hubcap of an automobile to wash his hands.

At Moravia a young patient came to the office with what she thought was a stomach ache. Surprised, she heard Shiller say, "You are in labor and we won't have, a minute to lose." It was her first baby and it was delivered in the doctor's name which hadn't been eequipped at the time for such an emergency.

Dr. Shiller recalls vividly the polio epidemic of 1912, and he had two cases so diagnosed There was no specific treatment at the time because the malady was infrequent and so unkonwn, but he read all he could find about the disease and developed what he terms an unusual therapy, a little rough on the patient. He had two cases, one where the youth was drawn backward by the disease. The physician arranged a Spanish fly blister treatment about two inches wide down the spine. On top of this he used plenty of iodine.

Both patients recovered.

FOURTH PHYSICIAN Dr. Shiller's coming here in 1913 was due to his wife's developing tuberculosis First he and his wife came to San Angelo where Mrs.. Shiller underwent treatment at the Cornick Bungalows for six months. He recalls renting a house in the Lake View addition. As his wife's health mended, he began Ito look about for a West Texas location and because he had a friend at Rowena he moved here. He became the fourth physician here at the time. Dr. J. A. Leggett, now retired and living at Menard, was one of them. A Dr. Beckmann moved to Yoakum and died there. He does not know what happened to a Dr. Shelton. Other physicians have come and gone as the fortunes of the town shifted.

Mrs. Shiller died in 1930.

Dr. Shiller and his daughter, Pauline,

love to travel, and they have been in all but three of the states. If they were to leave Rowena, Dr. Shiller's impressions of Phoenix would probably take him back there. "It's a beautiful city and there is lots of scenery, in that area," he recalls.

"While I haven't made much -money from practice as a physician, I love the work. I have the feeling I have been doing something for my fellowman that he couldn't do for himself," says the physician. "I have always served whether there was any money in it or not. I haven't been an insistent collector, and there is perhaps $10,000 on the books uncollected at this time," he adds.

FORGOT BILLS "I would keep track of obligations for a few years and then forgot them," he says.• "My only desire is to be known as a general practitioner, and if I had my life to live over I would spend it in country practice, "he said.

Dr. Shiller has worn out several horses, buggies and automobiles. His best buggy cost $125, his best horse $100, and after using' the animal about 10 years, he sold it for $125. "It was a good horse," he said.

He purchased his first automobile in 1910 DOT $800. It was high wheeler, and he doubts if he drove it more than 800 miles. 'It just didn't work out," he said simply dismissing the investment. He bought a Case auto in 1917 at Rowena, his second, from the Case Implement Co. The horse and buggy stood by as insurance.. Since then there have been five model T's a Dodge, several Chevrolets, and how he has a Hudson.

There have been some unusual incidents. Once called to Olfen in the days before roads were improved, he invited Henry Teplicek to go along. They were driving at a good clip considering the condition of the highways, and something happened. The car went into the ditch and turned over on its side: PORTABLE PHONE They were unhurt, and it wasn't long before Dr. Shiller had brought out a portable telephone he carried with him.

Throwing a wire over the telephone line,, he called back to Rowena and had help on the way. Teplicek recalls it was a little disconcerting to the physician, but that portable telephone convinced him the doctor knew how to make his way mound.

Dr. Shiller is a member of the Wodmen of the World, the Liens- Club, the

Wednesday, July 21,- 1,114 Runnels County Medical Assn., the Slavonic Benevolent Society of Texas, and the Masons. He recevied a 50-year pin recently from the Slavonic group. Fortyeight years a Woodman, Ire was presented a citizenship commendation from this group several years back, Commending him as a civic leader "whose influence has been a positive force for every creative and constructive community effort."

ON SCHOOL BOARD The Rowena healer has served briefly on the school board here and as a bank director. But he sold out his stock in the bank and resigned from its board. His library contains an estimated 350 volumes dealing with the healing arts. His current reading branches out into newspapers and three magazines, Life, Time and the Reader's Digest.

No time for hobbies, the doctor has been an intermittent hunter and fisherman. He has hunted near Menard and Harper and iri all has killed 13 deer. "I just go hutning when I feel the call of the wild and want to go back to the primitive for a little while," he said.

When the man from Texas was called to the speaker's platform, everyone expected more.

"Texas fish run from 14 to 16 inches," the tall Texan stated. The audience gasped. The Texan looked up, and added, "Of course, in Texas we measure them batween the eyes."

ONE-DOLLAR FAIRY TALES A MAGIC HERB (By Albert Kuchta, age 14) There lived once a herder of goats who was very pOor. He had a son who fell in love with a beautiful girl whose parents were also very poor, and would not let the by to visit their daughter. They wanted some boy of rich parents to marry her.

Once when the son of the herder was taking care of the goats near a forest, and was thinking how he could get money to be able to marry the , girl, he, at once heard the chirping and peeping of newly hatched birds. He followed , the sound of the birds and fund young woodpeckers inside of a tree. He remembered that his parents told him that the woodpecker knows a magic herb, and that anyone can get the herb, if the hole in the tree to the nest is stopped up with a wooden peg.

He made a wooden plug and closed the hole to the nest. He took his coat off and pladed it on the ground under the nest. The woodpecker came and saw the way to the nest blocked. He flew away and came back with a magic herb. As soon as the bird touched the wooden peg with the magic plant, the small piece of wood stopping the hole fell out, and the woodpecker dropped the magic herb.

The boy ran to pick up the herb which dropped on his coat. While he was holding the plant, he saw a small crack in a rock cliff nearby. , He thought that he would try the magic herb if it would make the crack in the rock bigger. He touched the rock, and he saw a cave with an iron gate. He walked in the cave and touched the gate with the herb. The gate opened with a terrible noise. Then he saw a dwarf sitting on a boulder inside the cave.

The dwarf told the boy that he can have anything he finds under the boulder if he is strong enough to move the boulder.

A PIG'S BROTHER (By Jimmy Sill, Age 10) Once there was a boy who goo so careless and untidy that soon he was living like a little pig. His room was messy, his face and hands were dirty, his hair uncombed, and his clothes were soiled and rumpled.

The Clean Fairy could stand it no longer. She slipped into his room and said: "Please go play with your brother while I clean up your room."

"But I don't have a brother," said tho • litle boy.

"Oh, yes, you do. You will soon find him," said the Clean Fairy.

So he went out and met a mother cat and two kittens, They were shining clean.

"Are you my brothers?" asked the boy.

"No!" said the kittens. "We are clean and combed. You are not our brother."

Next he met a nice clean bushy-tailed squirrel. "Are you my brother?" he asked.

The squirrel said, "No! I am not your brother."

Next he met a bird cleaning her nest.

He said, "Are you my brother?"

"No! I am busy cleaning my nest. not your brother."

ain

So he went on until he came into the farm yard where a big black pig was rolling around in the mud. The pig called: "Come, play in my mud puddle. You. can be my brother."

The boy said, "No! No!" and ran home to the Clean Fairy and said: "I will wash; and comb and clean up. I won't be a pig's brother."

From then en he was a clean good little boy.

Valjean sel s listem Mariovym Cosetka i Toussaint jiZ davno spaly.

Rozsvitil svici, ale nice tak se mu chvely, ae trvalo dosti dlouho, neZ se mu to podatilo. Citil, ze se dopou gti neeeho og kliveho tim, ze otvira cizi dopis, ale vzdor tomu nemohl odolati. Optel lokte o still a pfeeet1 listek, ale v mysli mu utkvela j en tato slova: "Umiram. M budeg eisti tato slova, bude jiZ jedine ma dug e u Tebe. "Zmocnila se ho divoka radost.

"Nag e pestaveni je dObre," pokrakoval Enjolras, "barikada dobie se drZi, k jeji obrane staiei tkicet lidi, proe bychom obetovali etyticet?"

"Nikdo nechce odejit," odpovedeli sboreM. "Obeane," zvolal Enjolras timer` s hnevent, "republika nema tolik muzu, aby je mo.hla zbyteene ztraceti. Uznava-li nekdo za svou povinnost, opustiti tuto barikadu, at' spini tu povinnost jako kaZdou jinoti."

"Poznali by nas hned, jsme prosaknuti dYinem z prachu. Snad bychom padli nejake strati do rukou, a tu bychom byli na mists zastteleni."

Rozednivalo se rychie, bylo patrno, 2e rozhodnS, okam2ik se bli2i. Enjolras, bavaji se atoku z ulice Mondetour, dal tam postaviti barikadu. Za tim fieelem bylo vytrhano dla2deni podel nekolika doma. Byla to nyni pevnost bez vYchodu, ale zaroveri past, jak fikal Courfeyrac.

Povstalci se ptipravili k boji. Nepottebovali te2 dlouho eekati, a uslykli tetke drkotani po dla2deni i fineeni 2eleza. Nahle vynokilo se del°.

Valjean vzal pu2ku, sttelil a jeden provaz byl prosttelen, sttelil po druhe a 21nenka spadla na zem, ale pted barikadou.

V2ichni tleskali obdivem a zvolali: "O, ji2 mime 2inenku!"

"Ano, ale kdo pajde pro ni?" tekl Combeferre.

Vojsko neustale stfilelo, ale sttely nemohly povstalcam ubli2iti, proto2e je 2inenka zachycovala.

Nahle povstalci zpozorovali na nedaleke stfae prilbici v slunci se lesknouci.

"To je neptijemnSr pozorovatel," tekl Enjolras.

"Je to podivin, kterS, obraci svSich rad k dobremu," odpovedel Combeferre.

Zatim povstal v tabote oblehajicich nesvar. Jeden z vadat chtel hned hnati druzi se tomu zase vzpirali, tvrdice, 2e jest to je gte ptilig brzy.
