PORED DO MINULOSTI

Et

RATR JAN GajevskSr z Orchard byl prvni, kterS, naAel stare noviny a poslal mi svfij nalez, jak jsem o to tadal v minulem disle. Poslal mi stars' Vestnik, rodnik druhST, eislo 22. Jsou v nem razne zajimavosti dnes damn° za,pomenute.

Ono eislo bylo vydano 1. srpna 1914 v Hallettsville, Texas, tedy prave pted 40 roky. Dle toho soudim, te Vestnik, jako samostatnST organ, meal bjiti vydavanSt v tali 1912 a vychazel na 1. a 15. katdeho mesice. Byl stejneho forrnatu jako dneSni Vestnik, mel 16 stran eetby bez oznamek, a byl tiSten na hladkem, bilem papife.' Potadatelem byl F. Fabian za $40 mesiene.

Seznam kada byl asi uvetejilovan v katdem disle a take tabulka mesienich poplatkii do fimrtniho fondu. se eleni od 16 do 55 rokfa ale kdo byl starg i net 50 rokii, nemohl si vziti vice net $500 pojlateni, a kdo byl ptes 50 let, musel se spokojiti jen s $250 pojiSteni. Popla,tek na $1,000 od 16 do 21 midi byl 60 centil mesiene, do 25 let 70 centa; do 30 rokti 90 centfi; do 35 rokil $1.00.

Jednota mela tenkrat 119 tadii. Zajimave jsou zo.znamy, kdo byli pted. 40 lety tajemniky mistnich spollar. Bratr Anton Hamusek tajemnikem tadu v Buckholts, John P. Trlica tajemnikern v Granger, Anton Cuba v Moulton, Jan GajevskS, v East Bernard, Frank Elzner v Bryan, Emil HajovskST v Hillje, Jan Vraj v Sunny Side, Alois Dressler u tadu Bratrska Podpora v El Campo, Jan H. ElSik v Yoakum, Robert Cervenka ye West, Jakub Citek v Gonzales, Jan Holeeek u tadu Braila Svornosti ye Wallis, Jos. Zamanek u zanikleho tadu Laskavost v Guy, L. Vanduch v Mount Calm, nejakSr Jan Valcik u tadu Neodvislost ye Wichita Falls, a jinj", Jan Valaik (zesnu1ST bratr nynej giho redaktora) u tadu Strom Slovaml eislo 97 v Orchard, Frank Volf (ny-

ni tijici ve stab. Iowa) tajemnikern tadu ✓ Lyra, Texas (kde i bratr Karel Holasek --nynej§i teditel—zkou gel slasti havitske spoledne s bratrem Aloisem Vajou), Jos. Gritzman v Needville, R. J. LoStak v Crosby, Jan Marek ve Wallis (tad 96), Jan Eineigl v Yorktown, F. J. Hejtmanek ✓ Rosenberg, Frank Truksa v Sugar Land, Frank Kvetoli tajemnikem tadu Jiti Washington v Cat Spring.

Posledne jmenovanSr tajemnik, bratr Kvetori. mel dopis v onom eisle Vestniku pied 40 lety, kde psal: "Je tteba, aby naS i ad omladnul, neb starSi elenove poznena,hlu nas opouSti, a tak by tech mladSich bylo katclYm rokem tteba v nahradu. IVrame dosti mladikfl v okoli, ale katdSr si rnysli, te je dasu dost, az nazbyt, a pak nekdy skutek utek."

Nebo Jos. Gritzman, tajemnik tadu Rozkvet Rate Oslo 81 V Needville, psal: "Po ukoneeni naSi schfize bylo ptikroe'en° k oslaveni nak einnosti velkolepou hostinou, kterou nasledujici sestry vystrojily: Tejklova, PeSakova, Mikolatova, Abendrothova, Hurtova, Jaklova, Zaekova, Lichnovska, Petrova, Matulova., Stagova, Syptakova a Lubojacka. Prabeh oslavy byl velmi vzornSr, a je nagim ptanim, by takove oslavy se easteji opakovnly. Pak na pamatku bratr Arnold Franek celou skupinu vyfotografoval."

JeSte jeden dopis dovolim si citovati.

Asi kvali mne samotnemu bratr GajevSkY oislo poslal. Je tam jeho dopis, jako tajemnika tadu Karel JondS, a zni: "East Bernard, 22. eervence 1914.—Cteni bratti a sestry! Timto vam sdeluji, te ✓ derveneove schazi navrteni byli dva eekanci. hiasovani byli jednohlasne pkijati. Jsou to oba svobodni mladici. Jeden se jmenuje Stepan Valeik, syn bratra Stepana A. Valeika, a druhST Jan Svagera, delnik. Budou-li ptijati Hlavni fitadovnou, v.vedeme je do tadu v srpnoye schflzi. Tak, bratti, jen do toho, at'

do pflaiho sjezdu mate na g tad vyslat dva vyslance.

"Ceti jsem, cteni bratti a sestry, Olanek v orgaam ze dne 15. dervence 1914 na strance 336. Je tam psano, ze je povinnosti kateleho Mena starati se o to, aby nage Jednota v§em potadavkam vyhovovala, aby v Jednote nic moudreho, dobreho a krasneho nechybelo, nS7brt naopak aby skytala lepAi vSrhody net jine spolky.

"Mel bych v tom ohledu navrh, aby ctena. Hlavni fitadovna zavedla u katdeho tadu tak zvanou "svepomoc" a sice v nasledujicim smyslu: Mohia by objednat nekolik kusa malSrch pokladnidek a tet tolik kusii vkladnich Imitek, a pak je rozeslat nekolik na katdji tad. Ti tadovi bratti, kteti maji povyrostle ditky, ktere uz pomahaji sbirat bavinu, meli by sobe tyto pokladnieky vyzvednout a svSrm ditkam odevzdati. Prave ted' ptichazi sbirani baviny, do nehot. se ditky zaptahaji pinou parou. Kdyt ditko 10 roka stare nasbird 100 liber baviny donne, a otec mu da od toho sta 50 centfa to cirri tSrdne $3.00 a do mesice $12. Rekneme, ze doba sbirani baviny trve, 4 mesice; etytikrat $12 cirri $48. A kdyby otec $2.00 ptidal, einilo by to $50 za obdobi. Tedy od 10 rola' do 21, kdy by se juridic tenil nebo dcera velavala, mel by kaldj'r u Jednoty uloteno $550, ktere by si, dle meho hledu, moh!i vyzvednouti. Vette, mill bratti a sestry, oo levneji by se jim vstupovalo do stavu mantelskeho, kdyt by yeah, ze maji do zadatku jedenact set dolama. "lVInohY tatik tekne: VSak ja valy darn ditkam, kdyt piajedu z dtiny, po niklu, ba nekdy i dva bity. To je pravda, ale ditko ma ty penize jen pies pikovaeky, dokud ma otec. Kdyt je po pikovaekach, a ministr financi vypovi slutbu, pak se stavaji rodiee lupiei detske pokladniely.

obdrie/ jsem od bratra Jana Gajevskeho ono mslo 1,Testniku, o nemZ jsem napsal fivahu pi° predni stranu tohot() eisla, listoval jsem v nem pozorne a cet1 ka,Zdou Padku. Ani jsem si neuvejsern 40 roku v Jednote, a Ze v de ,,ittem roce sveho Olenstvi stal jsem se ( ienem Hlavni UPadovny. KdyZ jsena v , touoil do Jednoty, platir jsem 70 centu niesicne. To bylo piled tie., neZ z Austinu pokyn, Ze nage poplatky nejsou aktua.rsky yypoeitane, nejsou dostateone, a Ze SPJST hodne schazi, aby mela 100% solvenci. *me jen jednu tfidu certifikatu, doZivotru poji gteni, a solvence byla neco pees 80^%. Nezbkvalo jineho, neZ zvUgiti poplatky na v gechny tehdej gi certilikaty. i%inohy start' Glen -rad by se dues clitubil,Ze me jest' svfij ph yodni certifikat, kter mu byl vystavenU piled 40 nebo 50 lety. Dnes nikdo se nenifiZe pochlubiti svUmi starUmi certifikaty. 13yly poplatky byly zvY-, vzaty z obehu, geny a vymeneny za nove. A kdyZ se rnlaclik olenil nebo (levee provdalo, a odkaz byl rrienenY' , zdalo se v onech dobach sna.dnelgi vystavit novU certifikat neZ provesti zmenu odkazu. Tim zpilsobem puvodni certifikat nemain ani ;iin z roku 1914, na EterY jsem platil 70 centfi mesiene, ba nemam ani druhY certifi/aCal platit 95 centfi kat, rna kter' mesiene. 7tistai ml pouze tPeti certifikat, b\ 1 zmenen od rodieft na mankcie Zelku. eteni onoho 40 rokft stareho Vestniku zastavil ,jsem se a uvaZoval, zda ty spolkove pomery jsou vskutku horgi ne2 byly dive, nebo je to jen na ge omluva a vUmluva. Ceti jsem tam dopis od Padu Nov' Raj eislo 71 z Penelope, kde stalo: "Chci podotknouti o navgtevach schuzi spolkovSrch, ktere my tak gpatne navgtevujeme, jak etvrtletni tak mesieni, ae se schilze konaji jen jednou za rnesie. Takov.0 pocet ie lids, a do schfize pfichazi jen par elenfl. Kdyby to bylo ye vgedni den, nedivil bych se tomu, ale v nedeli mine kaZdU pfijit."---Minuleho tUcine rnlnvil jsem s jednirn mlaclUm elenem, kter' si steZoval: "Byl jsem v posledni sehnzi a bylo nas tam vgeho vgudy Best."

Na druhe strane mushne pfiznati, *ie nektere Pady byly zaloleny jen proto, Ze nekdo v nekterem Padu citil se uraZenU. PPed rnesicem miuvil jsem se sestrou Pednici jednoho venkovskeho Padu a ptal jsem se na spolkove pomery v onom okoli. Odpovedela mi, Ze bylo chybou, kdy2 se z jednoho Padu utvoIiily dva. PrU nezvolili jednoho Clena a on

A ve Vestniku, kterU mi poslal bratr GajevskU, na gel jsem clopis, psanU 25. eervence 1914, maim elenem, kterY.si zalpZil svfij Pad. Psal: "V minule schfizi byl uveden do Paclu... bratr R. . U . . Tak o jednoho 'Mena zase nag Pad postoupnul. Piiitonme nag Pad vita: 25 elenft, ale pomalu budeme postupovat nahoru. Zajiste kdybychom jezdili, jak to dela na g souseelni Pad, byli bychom o hodne dale. KdyZ se nekdo yyskytne a chce pPistoupit k nageniu du, tak je pPemlouvanU, aby pPistoupil k sousednimu Padu. To je potom podpora, lidskost, bratrstvi. S pozdravem tajemnik." Stala se pohana Menu Padu pied 40 roky. A to pohana se nezahojila, ono, trvai dosud. etyficet rola. uZird onoho tajemnika to, Ze nebyl zvolenU, elm chtel bUt, zie inusel si zaloZit svdj tad. A za tech 40 roku ztratil onen ta jemnik viru v Jednotu, ztratil till pethay elenfi v Padu, ale sve tajemnictvi si sud drZi. Snatl byla velika chyba, Ze jsme si si davno, tPeba hued pill za,kladani Jednoty, nedali do stanov trochu vice demokracie. Ale spolek zakladali Cegti stehovalci, kteici bud' sami nebo jejich tatove byli vychovani v poslu gnosti k vrchnosti. Proto kdy2 se upravovaly v prvnich dobach elanky stanov, nebylo tam nic o zemene fhednikil eas od Cam. Pozdeji to bylo teZko menit a omlouvalo se to: "Je v tom uZ tak mnoho rokit vi, jak v tom chodit, zvolme ho aklamaene."

Stiiidani a zmena iniednikft bylo by vice demokraticke, napodobujici fistavu SpojenUch statft kde jedine soucici_nejVy ggiho soudu maji fiPad doZivotni, ne, vgak president, ani ZadnU senator nebo kon.gresnik. A dle toho demokratickeho sobu jsou vedeny nmohe bratrske spolky. Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, Citajici milion a etvrt Menu, ineni sveho vrchniho piedsedu kaZdU rok. Sam byl jsem pPedsedou americkeho bratrskeho spolku, kde jsem mohl siouZit jell jednu llifitu a bUti znovuzvolen az po vyprgeni dvou let. Trochu vice demokracie v nagi Jednote hned v zaeateicli, a trochu menu: uctivani vrehnosti, jakou men v sob' nagi tatici a dedeekove, zabramilo by v minulosti mezi na gimi eleny hodne Pevnivosti a zakladani neZadoueich "true" f.a.du Stopy tohoto evropsFebo v Thoyam podvedomeho umivarn vrchnosti nejson tak makave, jako tomu bylo drive; ale obeas se objevi. Main na stolku dopis.

Vi sttedu, dne 28. eervence 1954. prod Hlavni atadovna plati sama sobe $400 mesione najmu z budovy, ktera je na gim majetkem. Zde ti, bratke nepodepsanY, odpoviciam vetejne, aby sis dopsal na ptedsedu, na tajemnika, na kterehokoliv atednika, nebo na kterehokoliv teditele, aby ti podali vysvetleni. Jestli se necheg podepsat, tvaj dopis jde do koge. Ale mohl by ses podepsat, at' u2 pie redaktoru, atedniku nebo kediteli. Jsme tvYmi bratry, tobe rovnYmi, bez obloueku svatozake, bez vyzvedani na podstavec, sloukcimi jen dotud pokud ty a jini bratti uznaji, ge vykonavame praci die tveho pkani. Nejsme gadnou vrchnosti vladnouci libovolne. Proto nemusig se ostYchat podepsati svuj dopis. A take nemusig smekati klobouk, kdy g gaclag o informace. Bud'me ye svem jednani demokratickYmi, sobe rovnYmi, nebo jak to stars' Masaryk fikaval, "ja pan—ty pan." Mohl bych ti, bratie, dotaz vysvetliti, ale bude pr' tvou samostatnost zdravej gi, kdy bude stat na svYch vlastnich nohou.

Chici se zminiti o veci, na kterou jsem upozornil pied dvema tYdny v anglicke easti Vestniku. Mluvil jsem s atedniky jednoho tadu, kterY se meze hrde ti mezi nejvetgi ve svem distriktu. Ptal jsem se na jejich spolkovY givot, na mesieni schtize, na, tadove podniky. Bylo mi vysvetleno, ge do jejich schazi pfichazeji pouze bratii. Sestry nenav gtevuji schuze. To mne zarazilo. Kde bychom vlastne byli, kdyby nebylo v na gich spolcich nagich gen? Vgdyt' ony jsou delnice naroda.

Ony jsou uCitelkami skuteeneho vlastenectvi. A najednou je mi teeeno, ze v jednom nagem veliketh tade geny do schazi nechodi. Piece nemide b'ti vetgi cti pro g adnY tad ne gkdy ma ye schazi vice alenkyti ne g elena. Pak teprve tad zaene se hYbat.

A jeite dalgi si musime pfiznati, a to je, 'ge stra gnYm andelem eeskych pamatek v teto zemi jsou nage geny. Jsou to geny, Casto ty na ge mile Ceske babioky, ktere udr2uji desks' jazyk a eeskou naladu v americk'ch rodinach, kde to nekdy vypada jako mala, liga narodt, kde syn ma Nemku, dcera Polaka, druha dcera Francouze, a drub' syn Anglieanku. Jsou to ty babieky, jejich2 desks' jazyk je tak eistY, jako ty kti gt'alove studanky tam, kde se narodily. Jsou to ty na ge bablCky, ktere se "nemufuji", ktere se "nevoruji", ani se svYmi vnoudaty "nefaluji", aby byly "klin". Zato uoi sva vnoueata aspoli nekterym CeskYm slovilm a eeskYin pisniekam. Tam, kde umtely nage babieky, tam take umird na ge tee a tarn ztraceji se pamatky eeskeho lidoveho Zarazilo, ba snad I trochu zabolelo mne, kdy jsem slysel, ge geny nechodi do tadove schilze. V gdyt' genY jsou dui nagi prace, nezbytnou podminkou aspechu u

V tST Ni K— WEST, TEXAS

kagdeho mistniho tadu. Mohu bez nadsazovani tici, ge u kadu Pokrok Houstonu pracuji a vge do p'kedu potlaeuji nejvice geny.A kdy pigi tato slova, nemyslim na elenky, abych jim lichotil, ale na eleny, kteii se spolkove praci vyhYbaji. Kdyg jde o nee() velikeho, vYznamneho, tak my, milk, to odhlasujeme, poroueime, a Zeny na tom pak pracuji jako veelieky.

My, mugi, pracujeme hlavou, kde gto geny pracuji srdcern. Geny jsou citove zalogene. Cit hYba krvi, ottasa srdcern a jedna i rukama. A proto ge jsou geny piny uglechtileho citu, pracuji a budou pracovat.

Nekdy jim piijdou i kameny do testy, ale jejich srdce je tak verne, ge je vede i pies kameny k vyteenemu cili. Proto geny maji bYti povagovany za ty nejlepg i spolupracovniky. Ony maji bYti voleny do vYborti, ony maji dostati se na mista tadovYch atednika. Tolik je jiste: u ktereho tadu nechodi geny do schazi, tam neni spolkova prace jak by mela bYt. Jen zkuste potadat nejakou zabavu nebo distriktni schazi bez spoluprace svYch elenkyri—a uvidite.

Pozastavil mne brats organisator od jednoho menSlho venkovniho tadu a svekoval mi, 2e on je take jeden z tech "pomalYch" organisatora. Zavedl tee na elanek nedavno uvetejnenY, "Co neekivame od organisatora." Kdy g jsme se rozchazeli, pololertem a te g polovagne ptal se mne, zdali napigi take elanek "Co ()dekavalue od redaktora." Samortejme, podekoval jsem mu za pokyn. Pozdeji jsem o jeho poznamce uvagoval a vracel jsem se k ni.. Ba; Ceti jsem i stanovy, ze redaktor ma ptesne piniti povinnosti sjezdem na nej vlogene. A tim jsem se dostal do slepe ulieky. Povinnosti ptedsedy jsou vyjmenovany v deveti paragrafech, povinnosti tajemnika ye etrnacti odstavcich, povinosti tieetniho jsou naznaeeny osmi paragrafy, povinnosti keditela jsou ye dvanacti odstavcich, ale co se odekava od redaktora, to neni ve stanovach dosti ztetelne vyznadeno.

Mel by mi nekdo p •ipomenouti, ie redaktor neni Clenem Hlavni atadovny, ge nerna takovou zodpovednost jako atednici nebo teditel& ge on je 'sjezdem volenY k tomu, aby psal do organu ovahy nebo organ neeim ugiteenYm vyplnil. Jakou zodpovednost ma redaktor?

Nebo ma-li vilbec nejakou zodpovednost?

Kolik on je zodpovednY za vzrilst Jednoty? Za einnost mistnich facia nebo za agitaani Cinnost? 0 torn nebyly na sjezdu 2adne teal, a o torn neni nic ye stanovach Redaktor je najmutYm delnikem na sjezdu, aby vedi Vestnik tak, by to bylo ku prospechu Jednoty.

Kdyi jsme v diskusi o torn, co se od redaktora odekava, bylo by mistne, kdy by nekteti Cleni podali sve nahledy o povinnostech redaktora, aby se poznalo, zda redaktor nedola neco, pa tern mu nic

Strana 3 neni, a take jestli nezanedbava neco, co je velice dulezite. Vgichni vime, ze redaktor nepatii do oficialni rodiny mezi kedniky a teditele. Kdy2 by nekterY atednik nebo keditel podal navrh, aby pied redaktorem byly zavieny dvete do schaze Hlavni atadovny, sedm hlasii by staeilo. Ze slug nosti je redaktor do schtize pkipug tenY. Ale pkedstavme si, ge by ptigla doba, kdy by redaktor prozradil nee°, co by mohlo rozviiiti klid mezi eleny? Nebylo by spravne, aby redaktor byl za svou prostoiekost (nediskretnost je uhlazenejM slovo) byl vygoupnut za dvete? Stejne mezi atedniky a teditele nepatti.

Nebo ma redaktor takove pravo, aby stale burcoval, ustaviene radii a pobadal, aby nenechal nikdy nic na pokoji? on pray() psati o neeinnYch tadech? liknavYch organisatorech? 0 sane dbanYch schuzich? Nebo dokonce aby naznaeoval, jak by se melo planovati, aby to nebo ono bylo ku prospechu Jednoty?

Neptekraduje redaktor sve meze? NePemaha on urdovati smernice, ad to neni v jeho povinnostech? Nedela on ze sebe jakehosi iftednika, kterY otadi jistYmi koleCky v Jednoty ? To vgechno by men eleni sami zodpovedet a naznaeit, co se od redaktora odekava.

Kdysi kdosi navrhoval, ze redaktor by nemel bYti voleny sjezdem, ale ge by si ho mela najmouti Hlavni atadovna.

Mogna, ge by to pracovalo, kdyby Hlavni atadovna •byla slo gena z takovYch lidi, kteii vedi neco o gurnalistice, aby nevedi slept slepeho. Ale nebylo by v tom zatizeni jiste nebezpeei, ge Hlavni a-tadovnou najatY delnik Musel by psati tak, aby se to libilo jen Hlavni Uradovne?

A kdo by se zastal elenti? Kdo by byl mluveim za ty, kteii by chteli prosaditi nejake zlepgeni, docilitl nejake napra,vy?

Kdo by mohl zvednouti ruku a hla.siti se o volne slovo, kdyby to nebylo do no ty tern, kteii by drgeli redaktora pod kontrolou?

Nevim, jak slib jsem pii ukoneeni sjezdu skladal. Bylo to nejake anglicke odrikavani, ktere nezastalo ani mysli, ani se nedotklo meho citu. Ale pamatuji se, ze jsem dekoval za Cest a daveru, jsem byl zvolen'. Tenkrat jsem sam sobe slibil,ze budu pracovati ne pro sebc, ne pro nekolik jednotlivca, ne pro Hlavni fitadovnu, ale pro celou Jednotu ke spokojenosti aspori vet giny elena. A Tiskovemu vYboru jsem hued na znaeil, jake elanky a avahy budu psati, jak budu tYden po t'dnu podavati nove nahledy, staid upozorriovani, pkiklady a plany, jen aby dleni byli vedeni k peemYgleni. A pustil jsem se i do prace or ganisaeni, abych radii a pomahal tern, kteti nam ziskavaji nove eleny. Mogna, ze jsem ptekroeil sve meze. Mozna ze (Dokoneeni na strane 10.)

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENCJ gelo, 2e olejova, spoleenost tam poslala jejiho mute a on ze psal, at' tam za nim pfijedeme. Tak jsme jely. Dcera pfipravila velikY kog jidla a tak 2e buderne piknikovat, abychom se moc neunavily cestou. Ale dejte mne pokoj s takovST m piknikem! Ov gem, jako obydejne, vinu gofer nesl, gofer kterY lidi karu. Ten je jako hromosvod a na neho se sesypou vgichni, kteti jsou v kale. "Tady ne, jed' dal!"

"Zastav!" kfiei ze zadniho sedadla.

"Tady ne, piece najdeme neco lep giho". Tak zase jedeme. "U2 jsi pfejela pekne misto." "Mem se obratit it jet zpet?" — "To nestoji za to, v2clyt' najdeme zase neco". Ale ani jednou jsme se vgechny neshodly, bud' jsme piejely, nebo se nektere z nas nezdalo misto dosti elate. Tady bylo moc horko, tam zase kameni,' tam zas chybel potileek. Koneone jsme pojedly v kale a take jsme to odbyly.

Do San Angelo jsme dojely ve dve hodiny po poledni. A bylo velike horko. Tam zase hned jsme slygely, 2e na Rio Grande se 2ene velika povoden — a my jsme tak blizko! ToZ na tfeti den jsme daly San Angelo good bye a jely zase domu. U P. Havlu jsme se stavily, ze se aspon ukaleme, ale nebyl iadnY doma. Tak jsme to vzaly rovnou domil do toho milionoveho mesta, kterYm se stal Houston na tfetiho dervence 1954.

Ctena redakce Vestniku a mill etenati: .

Jig hodne dlouho jsem nepsala. A pone vadg mnozi elenati se mne na slavnosti v Novem Tabote tazali, prod' jsem ptestala psati a gadali, abych zase psala, tikali ge oni vgdy, jak Vestnik pkijde, prvni hledaji mfij dopis, a kdy g tam neni, ge jsou zklamani, neb ge velmi radi me dopisy etou. Tak zde vysvetlim, prod jsem se tak dlouho odmleela. Churavela jsem. Revmatismus v nohou mne trapil, a ja, jak mne new boll nemam chuti do nieeho, ztratim zajem o v gecko a jak neni na,d geni gkoda psati, neb ten dopis za nic nestoji.

Dne 27. kvetna jsme se S mangelem vra till z Excelsior Springs v Missouri, kde jsme se zdr g'eli tti tYdny. To je sanatorium, kde se leei bez medecin, jen dietou, mineralni vodou, koupeli, elektrikou, svetly a ruznYmi masa gemi. Myslim, kdo netrpi piin g zastaralou nemoci a kooperuje s tamnimi lekati, se maze g e se tam uzdravi. Man gelovi tlak krve sehnali se 213 na 142 bez jakekoliv medeciny, ale nohu, kterou mel poraneriou pied 35 lety a od to doby ho caste, boll, tika ge v ni nema mod' citu, je jako tro'g ya, tak to mu nevyleeili; teldi, -ku mrt jest to pfilig zastarale.

Ja, kdyg, jsme prijeli domii, jsem se citila jako znovu zrozena, takova lehka, pina givota, nic mne nebolelo a givot mne tail, jig mnoho mica jsem se tak dobte necitila. Doma na nas Cekalo mnoho prace. Kdyg jsem se tak dobte eitila, pustila jsem se s chuti do price.. Kdy g po sedm dni jsem nefinavne pracovala, mne nohy zase zaealy boleti. Poznala jsem, ge kdyg jig jsme pies 70 let start, ge nesmime chtit pracovati tak -O gee jak jsme praco, vali kdyg nam bylo 20 let. Ale me nohy jig jsou zase zdrave, citim se dobte, tak se davam do psani. Kdyby nekdo chtel vice o Ball Clinic a Sanatorium v Excelsior Springs vedeti, ptijd'te za mnou neb dopigte mne a ja yam vge raft lepe popigi, neb yetim, ge kdo nema nemoc ptilig zastaralou a nemu sge najiti filevu jin- • de, ge tam ho vyleei.

Se zajmem jsem pteeetla dopis sestry B. Valeikove z Dallas ye Vestniku 'Oslo 27.

Potegilo mne, ge v Dallas se rnladei jegte o eeskou tee zajima. Kdy g se ptihlasilo 48 gakti do deske gkoly, to neni docela maliekost. Asi v Dallas dobti le i, kdyg nektere deti eesky mluviti nechteji, je neomlouvaji, radeji jim vysvetli, jakou vYhodu z toho budou rniti, kdy g budou

dobte znati tee anglickou a zaroven i tee svoji, tee deskou. Ji g to, ge rnezi temi gdky jest i Best Amerieanfi, dokazuje, g e v Dallas je mlade g vedena tak, aby si sveho plivodu a sve fedi va gila, neb kdy g by Ameridan& videli, ze ani Ceske deti o svoji tee nestoji, zajiste by sve deli do Ceske gkoly zapsati. nedali. Vgecka Best path dallaskYm echum, . kteti se staraji o to, aby jejich deti si Ceske fedi vagily.

Nerada sly rdm neb vidim v novinach eeskou mlade g omlouvati, kdyg svoji tee zavrhuje. ftikati, g e nynej gi deti giji v jinem ovzdugi, ze maji americke Skoleni, take se nemarne diviti, kdy g eesky mluviti nechteji, jest pitorne. I kdy g maji americke Akoleni, to je nijak neomlouva, jestli chteji vgecko Ceske z na gi Jednoty odstraniti. I ta Ceske jmena nagich cko Ceske, nejdou gacine slavy ani chvanahra guji jmeny anglickYmi, t<oi by nemelo bYti dovoleno. Tim ge zavrhuji v gely u rozumnych eechu ani u rozumnYch jinonarodovcri. Daleko vice by si jinona.rodovci o nas mysleli, vice si nas \tali% kciy2 by videli, ge si va gime sveho puvodu a sve feel. Neni mozne, aby si rozumny elovek vigil toho, kdo opovrhuje syYm pfivodem a svoji fedi; neb jestli zavrhujerne svilj narod neb svoji tee, tak zaroyen zavrhujeme svoje rodiee. Amaze byti neco gpatnej giho, jak kdy g sae rodide zavrhnetne?

Doufam, ze ptigti sjezd se posta.ra o to, aby a,spon jmena nagich facia a jmeno nagi Jednoty nikdy nesmelo bYti zmeneno. Jig z ircty k zakladatelum nagi Jednoty ma nazev nag Jednoty a jmena nagich tachl zfistati takove, jak jim zakladatele dali. Jestli mlacle g nagi Jednotu upine poamerikanisuje ku sve hanbe, tak to Ceske jmena na gich tadO i za tisic let by kagdernu ptipomela, ge nage Jednota byla kdysi eeskou, ge byla zalogena d'eskYmi pionYry,. Byla by velka gkoda, kdybychom nechali eeskYm odrodilcilm nagi velkou a bohatou Jednotu pologiti cizinciun bez vegkere jejich prace do klina. Je mne v gdy smutno, kdyg si slim, ge mogna nekdy nage Jednota eeskou nebucle.

Nekteti stati eleni na slavnosti v Nevem Tabote si mne ste govali, jak je to rmouti, kdyg se do nagi Jednoty zavadi anglicke jednani. Jeden star gi 'Oen pravil, "Jen piste, pant Mikeskova, ja bych rad psal a Vam pomohl, ale netroufam si, neb nemam dobrY sloh." ftekla jsem, jen zkuste psati a uvidite, ge to dokagete.

Byla bych velmi radi, kdyby mne nekdo pomohl, neb se citim velmi osamocena.

Jig pied deli dobou, zda se mile ge to bylo nekdy v itneru, sestra Chaloupkova, pin Caldwell mela peknY dopis ye Vestniku. Vzpominala, mantele Wondragovy, Tomag Skrabankovy a jine, jak pekn spoleeenskY givot jsme tu melt pokud oni gili..Ano; mita sestro. Chaloupkova, bra-

Ja man gele Wondragovy velice postro,darn. Pi gte zase, sestro Chaloupkova, abych nebyla jeclina, co z Caldwell pile.

Rada bych vedela, kdo planoval tu katolickou Atulnu, jestli eleni neb elenkyne one jednoty. Clenkyne by lope vedely, jak ma bYti postavena, aby byla pohodlna.

Doufam, ge ty svetnieky nebudou tak malinke jak jsou kobky v galatich, neb v takove svetnici by se ti stalled citill jako by byli ve \regent Sa.ma jsem nikdy nebyla se podivati do gadne fitulny neb domova pro stare lidi, ale mluvila jsem s ptateli, kteti se Ali podivati na ty tak zyane fitulny a pak tekli, ge oni by do ntulny negli, neb ge ti statieci a statenky se tarn citi jako by byli v zalari. Svetnieka maid, tmaya, gadne zatizeni a jegte tam trpi zimou. Ze snad tern statiekfira seberou v geeek majetek, v ge co maji a pak se ani nestaraji, aby meli ye svetniece teplo. TakovY fistav ja bych nejmenovala fitulnou ani domovem, tekla bych, j e to chudobinec neb vycleradna, ktera, ty statieky o v gecko ptipravi. Doufam, 'ge v Hillje stavi Utulnu a ne chudobinec neb vezeni.

Pteji si, a nage SPJST bude staviti tulnu, ge to bude skutedne fitulna, kde se ti statieci a statenky budou cititi jako doma a ztravi posledni dny sveho givota, spokojene a radostne. Myslim, 'ge pti kag -desvtnicbyme tilosvkYumbalek neb kornfirka., by si ti statiece kde dati sve kuffiky a kde povesiti sve §ativo. Co se tyre zatizeni, jako gatnik neb lenogky, to by si ti statieci a statenky mohli vziti z domu, jen kdy g by byly ty svetnice dost velke, aby pro to bylo mist°.

Nekteti namitaji, ze kdy g bychom chtell postaviti fitulnu pohodlnou neb nadherTIOU, ge by stela piing mnoho penez a ge si nemfi geme dovoliti staviti ittulnu nadhernou. Zda se, ge kdy g se maze prospekulovati sto tisic dolara na gpatnYch bondeck, ge se i maze povoliti dost penez na postaveni slu gne aulny.

Nekteti tikaji, ge to neni jen postaviti peknou fitulnu, ale ge pak by to jegte stale, mnoho penez ji vydr govati. VI myslim, ‘ge mnozi eleni by radi platili mesiene, kolik by bylo ureeno, jen kdy'g b,N„ nemuseli bYti nikomu na obti g, byli samostatri a meli spoleenost elena asi sveho stall. A pak mime mncho bohatYch dlentt, nekteti ani nemaji bliggich buznYch, kterYm by mohli svfij majetel; odkazati, talc' mogna by byli radi, ae maji ptilegitost udelati dobrY skutek a zalogilt by mnoho tisicovY fond, kterYm by se fitnina vydrgovala, tak by nebyli nikdy

Strana 10 za.pomenuti, jejich lidumilnost a dobro to by tila provtdy. Myslim, ze kdyt bychom si postavili utulnu nad kterou bychom mohli bYti hrdi, ktera by byla spravne vedena, ze pak by nebylo nic tetkeho ziskati katdeho neb katde dite do nagi Jednoty.

Neni jit daleko do pli gtiho sjezdu, tak bych si pfala, by se eleni hodne o fitulne lined ted' rozepsali, aby jit coked sjezdem se veal°, kolik Made je pro to, by se Crtulna stavila. U katcleho radu by se melo o fitulne jednati a pa.k oznamiti ye restniku, jestli jejich fad je proti nebo pro to, by se fitulna stavila. Pak na sjezdu by se pfeclem vedelo, co si dleni pfeji a nebylo by potfeba na sjezdu dloulieho rokovani ohledne fitulny.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR 'nil, OTHER DAY I WAS TALKING to a young man, well-educated, holding two university degrees and working to get another degree. He told me that he went to attend the regular meeting of the local SPJST. "And do you know how many came to the meeting? There were Only six, members, including me. What's wrong? Is -fraternalism dying out?"

• WHAT ABOUT ATTENDANCE AT THE SPJST meetings? Is there anyone who could tell us that the meetings of his local lodge are now attended as they used to be twenty-five or thirty years ago? I know that all kinds of reasons can be advanced as to why meetings are not being attended. We know that the meetings don't have the attendance as they should or as they used to be. Than we ask, "What's wrong? Is fraternalism dying out? Is there no way to go back to the lodge meetings?"

all the might to cultivate the wonderful spirit of friendship? Shouldn't we urge cur active members to hold t o, and to preserve in, their attendance at the local lodge meetings? Shouldn't we ask our supreme officers and directors to campaign to reactivate lodges? Couldn't we all make our SPJST, every local lodge, to be a going-concern and see to it that it; grows and prosper? * IT IS A SAD FACT THAT TOO MANY of us have been infected with a wrong attitude regarding the future of the lodge system. We are well-meaning feat ernaliAs, but we are, nevertheless, permitting ours'elves to be very indifferent to the working of our own local lodge.

For example, my own local lodge, Pokrok Houston, decided to have a patriotic program on Sunday, July 4th. It is true that the announcement was not made in time. The program was brief but good. The attendance was very light.

But three weeks passed, and not a word in the Vestnik about the program. * * THERE WERE OTHER FOURTH OF July picnics held by the local SPJST lodges. But no one makes the effort to Publicize them, either before or after.

Instead of having regular lodge reporters, one Czech and one English, there is complete indifference to let the world know that the local lodge is active. We just,permit ourselves to injure the cause which many of the older members had served with distinction in the past.

WHAT NONSENSE! FRATERNALISM will never die! It can never die! It will g o on living, but its usefulness can be very considerably reduced and limited by indifferent people who have taken upon themselves the name of Fraternalists. And we can find the indifference not only among the average local members, but also among the officers of the local lodges. And we may as well consider the attendance record of our supreme officers and directors who should set an example. I should like to e them to start -Back to the Lodge mecti p e Movement" in their own home lodges and throughout our fraternal OrTHIS INDIFFERENCE AND LACK OF der. pia nrong discourages those who would like to serve and help.

raised the question in the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge. I asked what we are planning to do, if anytning, to reactivate some of the dormant. ledges. I believe that a sincere, Concerted, and continuing campaign aimed at reactivation, would bring goad results. I also believe that such a campaign must have the full support from the Supreme Lodge.'

IN APRIL, 1954, I REPORTED TO THE president of the Supreme Lodge that there are twelve lodges in District Five that would need inspection, encouragement, and reactivation. After some delay and some more discussion, the president, the director, and myself visited eight of those lodges. We found that only one of them cannot be restored to a state of activity. The following week, the president, the director of District Six, and myself visited three dormant lodges in District Six. Two of them can be reactivated, one of them is hopeless.

BUT THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS MUST be watched so that the local lodges would nt get beyond repairs. The control should have been handled and directed from the Supreme Lodge. But the supreme officers of the past neglected the control of the local lodges. At present, it is not imperative that the officers of the Supreme Lodge must attend to this campaing to reactivate lodges personally, but they should support it fully.

At present, we have district meetings that can do wonders to discuss problems and attempt to find new methods of solving them. But there must be more co-operation between the Supreme Lodge and the officers of various districts.

• 4, • ( CHANGING ARMISTICE DAY TO. VETERANS DAY Armistice Day (November 11) was declared a legal holiday by an act of Congress in 1938. It was a holiday dedicated to the world peace then believed to have been assured by the sacrifices of World War I. But soon thereafter World War II and then the Korean conflict shattered the dream. Public Law 330, recommended by all the veteran organizations, merely changes the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Hereafter November 11 will be a hroliday dedicated both to world peace and to homage to veterans of all wars of our country.

Victories on battlefields are wasted unless Americans, keep on defending their liberty at home.

Wednesday, July 28, 1954

Here is my quarterly report which I presented at our last Board Meeting, July 12, 1954: Dear Brothers: First of all I am happy to report that I was able to make the National Fraternal Youth Counselors Association Meeting held in Chicago last May, the Fraternal Field Managers Association, etc. which I have fully reported on in the Vestnik for all to see. Besides that, I have learned a great deal for our future use just by talking and visiting with many of the Youth Directors and Counselors individually and discussing Youth Problems.

I am happy to state that I have had the privilege of visiting many of the fraternal headquarters and was received everywhere with uncurtailed curiosity about the success of the revival of our Youth Movement — especially my activities, ideas, and programs in this direction. Perhaps it is bedause of the supreme importance of the Youth Movement to all fraternal' orders that I was met with such understanding and appreciation of my work far exceeding that which is prevailing in our own organization.

At my own expense, I have visited the Czechoslovak Society of America while in Chicago; the Croatian Fraternal Society Camp at Des Plains, Illinois; the Modern Woodmen at Rock Island, Illinois; the Royal Neighbors at Rock Island, Illinois; the Western Bohemian Society at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and the Sokol Camp at Crystal Lake, in Illinois, where they always have in the 'summer months large children class attendance, and to which camp even the parents are invited. This camp is one where all the wog. is donated by the membership with the exception of the Supervisors; whereas, the Pilsen Camp which is most ideally located near New Buffalo, Indiana on the shores of Lake Michigan is operated on strictly busines basis and everyone is paid for any work done there, resulting in a most efficient performance, and, financially, this is one of their wealthiest camps. The Croatian Camp is operated on charging then chil-

VESTNIK -- WEST, TEXAS

dren slight fees and through assessments of 5c per member. Then the Woodmen of the world operate their camps entirely different, and so do many others. Each society has their own way of operation s and I sincerely,hope that we will not wait too long before starting on one of our own as that is the most discussed subject and most demanded recreation by all our children as well as our adult membership. I am sure if there is a will, there is a way, and I sincerely trust in you (the Board of Directors) to find a way for the good of all our Youth and the entire adult membership of our SPJST. In my visit sometime ago with the Sons of Herman Grand Lodge in San Antonio, Texas, I was amazed to find the rapid progress which they have made in their Youth Movement. The reason for this I found lies in the interest of the entire organization in their Youth Movement and the full cooperation extended their Youth Counselor making her work easier and more effective and successful. Unless I have this same backing, support, and interest, all my efforts on behalf of the Youth Movement have been wasted. The FUTURE of our Youth Movement lies in your hands.

It is saddening to see my ideas, my programing and suggestions adapted and promoted by other fraternal organizations and to see how comparatively less has been achleted in our own organization because of the lack of full cooperation extended. Other organizations spend thousands of dollars on the development of their Youth and look upon it as one of their soundest investment Of their future—for "IN OUR YOUTH, LIES OUR FUTURE".

In the past board meetings, I have asked for the By-Laws and the Constitution for cut Youth Movement together with a Ritual and the Creed. Nothing being done to date, and after perusing many so called By-Law intended for the Youth of various organizations, it became obvious that no such archaical, inflexible regulations would be acceptable to me because of lack of childs' appeal, and therefore I have drafted my own.

These By-Laws and Constitution of our

Btrana.

Youth Movement are for the prime purpose of giving the Youth a feeling of permanency, and should not be thought of as a distinct set of official regulations as all membership — young and adult -is governed by the constitutional by-law,s of the SPJST Charter.

Also I have carefully prepared "The Youth Directors" and "The District Youth Supervisors" (which I intend to appoint today with each District Board Directors cooperation) ORGANIZATIONAL PROCEDURES AND DIRECTIVES for their conduct and activity in the SPJST Youth Movement. To all the above "Instruments" I have devoted a great deal of my time •and am presenting to you for your consideration and approval the drafts for these instruments.

I am recommending the appointment of District Youth Supervisors and their assistants as a necessary link in the chain of efficient organization of our Youth Movement. In my letter to all the Board of Directors of each District, I have asked their cooperation in selecting the proper person for the important office in their district so that today we can make the necessary appointments.

It is imperative that a decision be reached on the name which shall be a-signed by you to our Youth Movement membership. I have suggested in the past board meeting the SPJST STARS or STARLETTES, or the young SPJST TEXANS, but perhaps a contest with a prize of the winning name would be a better idea -- as a means of arriving at a suitable name through the Youths' own effort and liking; however, you may have other suggestions.• May I also recommend that the Vestnik be sent to every Youth in our SPJST Organization where it isn't already received by the family of the child. This would tend to hold the interest of the Youth especially when regular reports of activities are sent in for publication and furthermore familiarize their parents with our orga,nization.

The Star Waltz Drill is in full practice and is ready and willing to dance at any astrict Meetings when the invitation is officially extended and the expenses paid. Please give this your consideration in reaching a decision, if you wish the Star Waltz Drill to be perforined so that I may relate same to the girls. I wish to state at this time that their dance for the C.S.A. Centenial was met with great applause and enthusiastic reception. Many of the people in the audience remarked that they have never seen anything so beautiful. ' With your approval, I have delivered the ball equipment to lodges at Seaton, Temple, Holland, Taylor, Waco and Stefanik Lodge in' Houston, and the balance

Ptrana 14 I still have on hand. I have recently received many wonderful letters from our Youth thanking us for this equipment and am happy to relate to you the happiness you have brought to 'cur children. The interest created has been treme dor s. i Lave prepared and copyrighted "Our Song i3ook" a publication containing the mo•t popular Czech folk songs with notes and anotated chords for easy accompaniment. There is nothing like this available anywhere as my song book contains only the well-known songs and no exh. a so-called space fillers. The song book index as was ready at the time of publication together with additional numbers recently added contains today about 150 songs. This book can be made available individually or through the Supreme Ledge at a nominal price per copy, as soon as it is completed and put on the market.

In conjunction with this song book which can lay the ground work for the re-introduction of singing as a permanent feature in our fraternal meetings --and I notice in the Vestnik with satisfa( 1(7,11 the interest already displayed in this idea—I would recommend with care my suggestion of the possibility od adopting a concert chorus as an outlet for the artistic and cultural activity of our n'embership. Proper procedure and basic of approach on operation of this project would have to be established; such as the organization type of chorus, women, mixed, men, juvenile: the music parts and scores, etc. Such choruses consist in the essential of four vocal group: of say ten to fifteen members each, forming in such case a chorus of 50 or 60 voices.

It is not a prerequisite to be a concert singer or have a musical knowledge or background to be a member of such a chorus. Let me assure you that 90% of the membership of all the choruses consist of people who have no musical education at all and only possess the desire to learn and achieve distinctive results in their love for singing. Of course, the musical director or conductor of such chorus must be a person well trained in music. There are many amateurs or even professional •people who would gladly devote their time to such an enterprise. The interest promoting possibilities, the advertising of the lodge, in cur organization, and the new membership potential inherent in this cultural activity is tremendous, and would be absolutely self-supporting through one benefit performance a a year.

If properly guided and handled through the Supreme Lodge leadership by laying down, s e cure organizational di-

rectives and providing the facilities of scores and competent leadership — we could have even certain performance works studied simultaneously in all the choruses wherever established and when at our convention have a massive choral group of say 200 to 300 voices performing. I wonder if we can even realize here the far reaching wonderous effect of such cultural endeavon—and there is no time to discuss the full posibititles. In these choruses we would have material available to work with in programs, operettas, and stage productions which could be inexpensively sent to places where new lodges could be established. Such cultural activity can identify the SPJST throughout the whole nation and woutd be the most inexpensive, but at the same time the most distinctive element of the SPJST influence in our nations cultural life.

My Your Project of singing and dancing lessons is the fundamental step in establishing the movement for a definite cultural life in our SPJST and through these efforts we will gain the leadership among the fraternal organizations.

—Editor. ) • 4, - • ( ROWENA LODGE ANNIVERSARY About a month ago, Rowena Lodge No. 49 had quite a bit of publicity regarding its 50th anniversary.

One of the best SPJST publicity.man in that section of the state is Brother Fred Socha, a member of Masaryk Lodge of San Angelo: He must be on good terms with the editors of the San Angelo papera,'especially the San Angelo Standard Times, which has an impressive circulation of 40,000 copies. If he has the slightest chance to advertise the SPJST, he does it one way or another.

Just to illustrate what he does—and how others could follow his example at

every opportunity—let me reprint what many people had read but no one dreamed where the report came from or who furnished the information about the 50th anniversary. Read the short article and see if something like this could be followed every time your lodge has a celebration, a picnic or a program. Let's have more publicity. Let's do like Brother Socha is doing. His article was as follows: ROWENA LODGE TO MARK 50th ANNIVERSARY. Rowena Loidge No. 49 of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of Texas, a fraternal insurance group, will conduct a 50th anniversary jubilee Sunday.

Members from virtually all West Texas communities and others from Hou0on, Temple, Lubbock and Wichita Falls ,are expected to attend the half-century celebration of the organization.

The jubilee gets under way at noon in Komensky Hall and is slated to last throughout the afternoon. ) • Y• DILA HORA LODGE NO. 16 Hallettsville, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: I am writing these few lines to let every member know of our Lodge; that after our next meeting Sunday, August 8, a lunch will be served and also refreshments.

The Sisters are asked to bring the eats and the brothers will take care of • the drinks.

So, please, don't forget to come • to the meeting Sunday, August 8. Our meeting will start at 1:15 p.

Fraternally yours, Victor Melnar, See'y.

1 • 4 • S.V.P.S. CHAPTER NO. 11 Follm.ving, the meeting of Lodge San Antonio July 11 of the SPJST, the members of the Slavonic Mutual Fire insuranze Association, met for a get-together for a business and social hour at sister Josephine Staha's residence where On the lawn, the members and visitors enjoyed the cool shade of pecan trees listening to the incessant bla-bla of the secretary of chapter No: 11.=- with interest.

The secretary reported a 50% increase of membership the past three years, with the lowest rate on record on $100.00 of insurance in this association, and a solvency rating of 120%. Although our chapter has increased membership, still there is a very small percentage of people in the city who know that this organization is in San Antonio ready to

take care of the needs of its members for fire insurance.

Therefore, it was suggested that this chapter do a little advertising. This could be done, perhaps, by a public celebration of the chapter's anniversary next years.

Interest among those present ran high and a discussion took place to the end that we make plans for this blowout.

Members who were not present at this meeting are urged to come to the next get-together which will be held at 502 Topeka St., to lend • a helping hand in the planning and activity.

Anyone having apprehension as to the soundness of this association is urged to get in touch with the president Frank J. Ancinec, 425 Harbor St., Houston, or the secretary of the Grand Chapter, F. V. Urbish, East Bernard, Texas. I would like to remark that during the greatest, depression this world has ever, known in the 1930's, and while many insurance companies, large and small, were going broke, this organization went right ahead and honored all its obligattons.

Mutually yours, S. C. Bundil, Sec'y. )• • LODGE POKROK NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members and Friends, HEAR YE, HER YE! Two main events are coming to town for your entertainment at Lodge Pokrok No. 84.

The first one will interest especially those who love to dance. Yes, we'll have a dance at our lodge Saturday, July 31, starting at 8:00 o'clock. Dallas' Star lighter Band will present the music. So don't forget that date for an enjoyable evening, whether you dance CT not.

The second event is the play to be given by the children attending Czech summer school, bringing this years session to an end. This play will be held Sunday night, August 1, and promises to be a very good program. For further' information concerning this, see the ad-• vertisement in this issue of Vestnik. The kitchen will be open this night, and we'd appreciate any pastries the Sisters would wish to bring.

Brother V. Blatny underwent rurgery recently. He is progressing steadily and we all extend to him our wishes for complete recovery soon.

Now -please don't forget the two items, mentioned for your enjoyment. A dance Saturday, July 31, and a program the next night, August 1. Hope to see you there at both.

Reports From Local Lodges WACO SPJST LODGE Dear Brothers and Sisters: Waco SPJST Lodge Slovanska Lipa. 66 met on July 18th at our Park with thirty-five members and nine guests present. We are happy to have these friends visit with us and invite anyone interested to come out and join us.

This was the first meeting held in our own park, and Brother John Simcik's statement, "How good a feeling it,is to have a meeting place of our own", expresses the feeling of all our members.

The park, located ten miles from Waco, one mile east of Elm Mott and Highway 81, (on Farm Road 308) was officially named Linden Park.. The area is ideal and everyone has been cooperative in getting those facilities that are now available, and have pledged their support in getting our hall underway and in getting the grounds beautified with more improvements.

The sick committee reported that Sister Frank Bartos, Sr. had been confined, to her bed recently after having suffered a heart attack. However, she was improved and we all wish her a speedy and complete recovery. Brother Ed Mazanec is still in Providence Hospital and has undergone a second operation on his leg which he injured by fall on June ' 6th; Sister Agnes Mazanec said they do not know how long .he will have to remain in the hospital but that he Ls now showing improvement. We all wish him the best of luck and are looking forward to the time he will be able to meet with us again. Even thotigh he suffered such a serious injury he did not withdraw as a candidate for County Commissioner of Precinct 3.

Plans for our new hall were discussed and it was agreed that several drawings

tra.na 19 would, be presented at our next meeting in .11,agust. It was suggested that h members be thinking of their ideas. for a benefit social to be held in the near future: A meeting will be held at which time some entertainment by our youth will be outlined for our next meeting on August 15th at our Linden Park.

After the business meeting all members enjoyed the fried chicken -pichiC) supper. Adults, and the youth especial.i-, ly, enjoyed games of volleyball, softball and horseshoes. All are so appreciatiVe of the equipment that we have. Picture of our first meeting and activities on our own grounds was quite popular. think these pictures will be interesting to compare to our facilities which we 'plan and hope to have in the not tneiat 'future.

ONE-DOLLAR FAIRY TALES THE CANDY HOUSE

(By Gladys Bouska, P4■;e 14) "pon't cry, Annie," john comforted bet as her dew-drop tears trinkled clown her 'Cheeks in the glow of the firelight.

I'll get' you home."

Annie and John's mother and father Were s,;_ poor that often there wasn't a single crumb of bread in the house. Seldhm, they had ' enough to eat.

"What can we do?" was the question that faced them day by day. "It would be best," said father sadly, "if we took them into the forest so that they would not be able to find their way back."

'John didn't mean to be eavesdropping, brit he couldn't help but listen, since this ctneeriled him and his little sister, Annie:. • Ile'stirred in his corner. "They couldn't dtl'this to us, he reasoned. "They can't."

It Was • true they had gone hungry many tithes, 'but still, weren't they with their parents? That night, he filled his pocketS With glittering white pebbles.

Early the next morning, their mother and daddy took Annie and John far into the'woOds. John, with his pockets full of pebbles, had been dropping them one by hone 'a's they went, in order that they cohid find their way back home.

Aj eep in the forest, the parents built a large fire and instructed them to remain there until they returned.

Annie and John waited and waited.

Still they didn't see or hear anything of–their mother and father. They did ant!rc.turn.

Annie began to cry. John tried to comfOrt :her by saving, "Annie, don't cry.

'We'll return home alone. She stopped crying and he took her tiny hand. They both 'Dcllowed the path of pebbles he had "made earlier.

Their parents were glad to see them, but their smiles vanished when they realized that they must take them back even deeper into the forest the next day.

Dawn found the four of them on their way, back into the woods. Their mother had given them the last slice of dry bread they had. John had not had time tO- H fill his pockets with pebbles, but broke off tiny crumbs of bread and made a path 'of them so they could find their way back as before.

'When they were in the deepest forest, a, 'fire was built again and the children Were, told to await their return once more. When they did not come back, Anrqe and John set off to find their way hoine. They soon discovered that birds had eaten the crumbs of bread and they got lost.

The brother and sister walked and

walked, but could not; find their way.

Soon they could see a small cottage not far away. Their steps swiftened and Annie even forgot she was tired.

At last they reached it. To their amazement, it wasn't a house made of ordinary boards or bricks. It was built of candy of all tastes. The roof was not made from shingles but cookies. There was a beautiful garden around the house.

It had cooky flowers and candy bushes.

John climbed upon the roof and broke off a big chocolate cooky for himself and one with pink icing for Annie. They sat under a candy tree and began to oat.

As they finished and John started to climb upon the house for more, an ugly, limping, old woman appeared, and screetched, "Who is ruining my home?"

The children were so frightened they didn't know what to say. The old woman put on her best smile and invited them into the cottage, telling them that they would receive something good to eat.

They followed her inside, happily. The ugly oid woman was an evil witch. She grabbed John and closed him in a small cage. The old hag ordered Annie to feed him everyday so he would get fat and she could eat him.

Everyday the old witch would go see if John was fat enough. She would tell him ba stick out his finger, but instead, John stuck out a piece of wood.

She waited and waited, but still the piece of wood, which she believed was his finger, remained the same.

Finally, being able to wait no longer, she told Annie to bring him to her. Sadly, Annie obeyed.

"Now, get into the oven," the evil hag ordered.

"But it's not big enough," said John.

"Yes it is! I'll show you! I can get into it myself,' she said as she crawled into the oven to prove that she was right.

Suddenly, John slammed t h e oven door shut and the witch was baked instead of him.

Annie and John left the witch screaming and went outside. They filled their pockets with golden pebbles they found outside her house, as a souvenir of what happened. Then they walked'away.

They walked and walked until they came to the bank of a large river. Now, the problem was how to get across. They saw a large, graceful, white swan, swimming in the river. John asked her if she would be kind enough to take them across the river.

She gladly agreed to take first Annie and then John across, ,

At last they found their way home.

There was much rejoicing as the children told of their adventures. They showed them the shiny golden pebbles they had gathered for souvenirs as proof.

The golden pebbles proved to be pure gold. They never went hungry again and the children never had to part with their parents. . (THE END) )• • ONE DOLLAR FOR YOUR FAIRY TALE

The offer is still good. You get one dollar for a Czech fairy tale which somebody told you or read to you in Czech. You translate it in your own words and send to the editor of Vestnik.

If your fairy tale is printed, you will receive a dollar.

The rules had been published before.

Don't send anything else but a Czech fairy tales. Don't sent true stories. Don't copy your stories from old Third Readers or from some magazine for children. And don't ask the editor to write to you and tell you if the story is good or why he didn't like your story. Wait for your story to be printed and then wait for your dollar.

If your story is not printed, try another story. You will get your dollar.

Then she sewed the skins into shirts and leggings and moccasins and robes. She embroidered moccasins and belts with little shells, after boring holes through them; and she colored porcupine quills and pushed them in patterns. through the soft yellow skin She colored long eagle feathers and made warrior headdress for her father. She made herself necklaces of shells.

In the summer, the Indian women and girls dug holes in the fields, with pointed sticks or clam shells, and planted corn and beans, pumpkins and tobacco.

Laughing Water had to gather the ripe corn, shell it, boil the. grains in clay pots, dry them and pound them to meal in wooden bowls. She sifted the meal through a sieve she made of fine tough grass. She wove baskets of reeds and grasses. If she had time she wove colored figures and lines in her pretty baskets.

She made clay crooking pots and water jars, and she painted figures on them.

One of the nicest things she did was to make candy. She made it by boiling the sweet sap of the maple tree. For her father, Laughing Water dried the broad tobacco leaves. He put these in a pipe with a stone bowl and a holloW reed stem, and. smoked them.

Vnittek barikady byl zasypan kulerni, ale povstalci pies to klidne a smele dekavali smrt. Mrtvoly padaly stale trusteji, barikada vsak byla posud neporugena a obrana ani na chvilku`neustavala.

Vojsko postupovaio stale ku predu, Utok nasledoval za Utokem. Povstalci vychrtli, hladovi, majice jrZ jen po nekolika nabojich, temer v gichni raneni, bojovali jako hrdinove.

Courfeyrac, Laigle, Feuilly, Combeferre jiZ byli mrtvi. Marius pokryt ranami jeg te se drZel na nohou, jedine Enjolras byl posud neporugen.

Vojsko podniklo posledni Utak, a nyni bylo jiZ po vgem veta.

Hromadka poystalcii, kteri branili stied, ustoupila v neporadku. V nekterYch probudila se touha po 2ivote, i snakli dostati se do domu naproti Koryntu na druhe strane ulice. Tara by se jette mohli zachraniti. Za onim domexa byly ulieky, mohli by se pokusiti o Enjolras, Marius a je gte nekolik jinych paystalcil shlklo se kolem nich a branili je.

Marius zfistal venku. Rana z ruenice mu rortri gtila klicni kost a citil, ze om(neva a klesa. V tom okamZiku se mu zdalo, ze nejaka silna ruka jej uchvatila. V poslednim zabIesku vedomi proletla mu jegte hlavou my glenka na Cosetku: "Jsem zajat, budu zastrelen!"

Enjolras vida, ze Maria mezi nimi neni, pomyslil sobe totd, ale pomoci mu piece nemohl, protoge v tomto okamkku mohl jen vlastni svou smrt oeekavati. titoenici podnikli zurivY Utak na kremu .

"Zivot svuj zaprodejme drazel" zvolal Enjolras.

Povstalci se branili jak mobil. Kdy'Z nemeli jiz kuli, nabrali si lahvi kokalky a tou zbrani bojovali.

Barikada byla dobyta, vojaci rozbehli se po celem dome, hledajice ukryte povstalce.

XLII. Zajatec.

Marius byl opravdu zajatcem, ale zajatcem Jeana Valjeana, nebot' jeho ruka zachytla klesajiciho jinocha. Valjean se boje nezireastnil, jeho tkolem bylo sbirani a og etrovani ranenYch. Ve volnYch chvilich opravoval porouchanou barikadu, ale nikoho nezabil, ba ani sve osoby nebranil. Pres to v gak, ze tak vydaval svAj Z'ivot v sane, byl sotva nepatrne ranen. Koule on nestaly, a prigel-Ii tam s innyslem na smrt, nepodatilo se mu to. Na pohled si Maria ani nevgimal, skuteene vg ak s neho ani oei nespustil.

‘Jakmil jinocha porazila koule, priskoail rychle k nemu a odnesi jej ye svem naruei. Thodnici toho nevideli, jeZto yegkera, jejich pozornost byla na dvere kremy obracena.

Valjean unesl Maria a zmizel za rohem Koryntu. Roh ten, jak vime, vyenival easteene do ulice, byl to tedy klidnY koutek pod malou barikadou.

Valjean tam postavil Maria na zem, a rozhliZel se vilkol. Jeho postaveni bylo stragne. Mel ovg em na chvilku Utoeigte, ale co si poene dale, jak se odtud dostane? Mala barikada se dala snadno prejezti, avgak za hrebenem barikady kmitala se rada nasazenYch bodakii. Jedine ptak by tam byl rnohl preletnouti.

Bylo vgak piece nutno vymysliti nejaky na zachranu, nebot' kdyby tam byl treba jen jedinY vojak nahodou zabloudil, byli oba ztraceni.

Valjean pohledl na dum na druhe strane ulice, prohledl si barikadu, na jejimZ" Upati se nalezal a potom upiel zrak k zemi, jako by v ni chtel zrakem diru vyvrtati. Nahle spatril nekolik krokil °nodal prim° vedle barikady, Zeleznou ktera byla plochou do zeme zasazena.

Vyzvedl tedy mriZ, vzal Maria leliciho jako mrtvola na za,da, sestoupil se svym bremenem, opiraje se lokty i koleny do odkryte jamy a zavrel °pet za sebou mfU, na na se vytrhane dlaZdice zase skuta rely. Vge to vykonal s neobyeejnou silou a ryehlosti. Octl se s Mariam, jen posud byl ve mdlobach, v jakesi dlouhe chodbe asi t •i metry pod zemi. Bylo tarn Upine ticho, klid, noc.

Valjean octl se ye stoce pariZ'ske, ze stredu mesta v okamkku se dostal pod mesto, z pineho denniho svetla do rapine tmy a divneho ticha. Chvili stal jako zmamen. RanenY se ani nehYbal a Valjean nevedel, nese-li 2iveho nebo mrtvolu. V prvnim okamkku nevidel nieeho, citil jen, ze ma Pevnou pudu pod noliama. Vztahl jednu ruku, pak druhou a z obou stran nahmatal zed'. Chodba, vgak byla fizka a vihka, nohy mu klouzaly na slizke zemi.

• * Predev gim vgem krajantim a etenartim uprimm% pozdrav a vrele stisknuti ruky.

Na popud mYch patel, manZelti Burton B. Riebe podam v gem tem, kteri mail zajem o'Z'ivotni pribeh, sve zku genosti a to pro vYstrahu i pro poudeni. Jsem jenom jednim z vas, kterY se narodil ve stare vlasti a to 16. brezna 1882. Maminka, rozena Anna Benediktova pochazela z Maleho Borti u Horakl'ovic a po svathe s Karlern Vafikem odstehovali Se do Padiva asi hodinu a ptil od HoraZd'ovic. V tett) vesnici se narodilo na gim rodietim vgech 6 deti, dtyri dcery a dva synove. Od hrabete Kinskeho men rodide pronajatYch 30 hektarti pudy Preva.Z. na Cast panstvi byly lesy, ale orna pada byla pekna, a Orodna, Kraji na v mam rodigti byla prekrasna a moje prokte se sourozenci, bylo krasne.

Do gkoly jsme meli jenom pies ulici, takk nam kluktun bylo dano celkem radio prilditosti na darebadiny. kola mela jenom 4 tridy a nag' ridici uditel se jmenoval Fr. RadimerskY. Byl opravdu vzornST uditel a jemu je gte dnes vdedim za mnohe rady a poudeni. Byl prisnSr a nekdy a Z • krajne dfisledriSr . ftikaval nam: nauete se remeslu a bud'te vZdy dobOmi vlastensi! V to dobe, byl CeskS7 lid utiskovank vladou, ktera nemela spravnY nahled na lidske svobody. Byla nam tehdy vnucovana nemeina, adkoliv nag kraj byl ryze deskY. Rakugactvi nemohlo na nas zanechat Z'adneho vlivu a nikomu se nemohlo podarit nas ponemCit. Nage mladi bylo radostne. Nejvet gi detske radosti bYvaly v lete, kdy jsme se chodili koupat, jindy jsme delali ohniCky a pekli brambory, mnohe z deti pasavaly husy a nekdy i kravky. Na koupani jsme chodili do knikcich rybnikt. V rybnikach bSvalo hojne ryb a rufij otec mel svetenou peel o ryby a easto je prikrmoval. V zime jsme chodili s otcem k rybnikam, do ledu jsme prosekaii otvor a hazels tarn Lto i p genici. Byla to moje

nejvetgi radost, kdy jsem mohl jit s tatinkem rybam davat krmeni. Mnohdy byly ryby tak krotke, ze se daly snadno chytit. Kdykoliv jsem tak &inn, musil jsem ihned rybu pustit zpet, protole tatinek fikaval, ze je to htich brat veci, ktere nam nepatii.

Cela osada Padiv byla na peknem vr gieku a krasnY kostel vevodil celemu okoli.

Nag pan farat byl opravdovY lidumil a vgiehni si ho nesmirne vazili Mne pokrtil a kdy jsem se Zenil i oddaval. Byli jsme skoro sousedi a kdy ye vysokem veltu zemtel otravu krve, dlouho ce la yes i giroke okoli vzpominalo na lidumila, farare Jana Oerneho. Na jeho miato prigel farad. Jan Barta, ale ten uZ zdaleka nebyl tak oblibenYm, jako jeho pied= chtidce. Mel zcela jine nazory na v gechno a dokonce nam nekdy rikaval, ze ten predchozi farar na g v nmohern ohledu pokazil. To asi tou svou dobrotou. Ale to uz tak bYva, mezi narni lidmi, ze i u vgeeh povolani se najdou v povahach velke rozdily.

Mtij stargi bratr se ueil kamenikem.

KdyZ jsem ye 14 letech vy gel gkolu, byl jsem dan do udeni tomuto remeslu take ja. U Franti gka Prochazky pracovali dva mistii Pegula a Cingro g . U Hynka Peguly se udil miij bratr a potom etyil roky take ja. Cele tri roky jsem se ueil zaclarrno a teprve etvrtYm rokem jsem dosta. val 25 krejearti denne. Vkplata .bYvala jednou za mesic. Cingro g byl eisarskYkralovskY dvorni dodavatel a mel dodavat vgechno, co spadalo do kamenickeho oboru. Delaly se tam velke pomniky, kva dry na mosty a podobne. Zula bkvala namodrale barvy a kdyZ tukovY peknY kus byl dohotoven, to byla radost se na to podiyat. Jedenkrate jsme delali velike vazy pro jednoho bohade na Zelenou Horu u Nepomuku. Tyto zvla gtni vazy byly az deset metre dlouhe a pet strevicii vysoke. Bylo v nich vysekane zvlagtni okenko a sila steny byla 10 coulti. Tehdy jsme na teto velke praci delali s bratrem.

On byl levieak a ja pravidak a tak nam to g lo velmi dobie. To u‘Z jsem byl tenkrat vyuden, ale bratr, protole byl starai, byl na mne prisnY. Delon jsme tarn tehdy takovou gpanelskou stenu. Zatim co tady se takove veci delaji ze dreva, tarn se to &Maio z takeho materialu kameneho. U Pe guty jsme v gak moc spokojeni nebyli, protok nerad platil a pracovali jsme od kusu. Kahlou chvili byla hadka, protole prace byla taka. Moc jsem se tam nenaudil, protok jsem dela' slutku a a proto mne pozdeji bratr vzal take k Cingrogovi, kde to bylo lepsi. Vzpominam si, jak v dot* kdy jsem se ueil mi matka, davala nejakY ten gestak na prilepgenou. Z price jsme chodili kolein ryb-

Vanka

nika a radi jsme se tarn vkly vykoupali.

Bylo to v2dy osvaujici po teZke praci. nedeli jsme chodivali do lesa. jsme jahody, maliny, houby a maminka, to umela vkehno dobie pfipravit a ialcO dobra kuchaika vkchno dobie zuktkovala.

Po veeerach jsme sedavali kolem.chalupy a na zahrade se dobie phi hudbe na tahaci harmoniku. Bratr .mel uZ, tehda dvouladovku a to bylo necO pro naladeZ. Zpivali jsme pisne vlastenecke a rtizne lidove. Pokud jsem nebyl vytr:den, tak jsem k muzikam nechodil a po7 torn jenom okolo salu a na ulici jsme treba tancovali, aZ se za nami pra gilo. Pro:tote jsem byl nejrnlad gi, provdaly se moje sestry je gte v dobe udeni. Pamatuji se i na to, ze pled tim, nee jsem byl °dyer den byl jsem take jednou za mladence pri veselce memu priteli, se kterYin jsme pracovali.

NeZ jsem gel k vojenskemu odvodu musel jsem zajit do Maleho Born, odkud pochazeli moji rodile, odtud do HoraZd'ovic a tarn mne ye velkern sale odvedli na, tri roky. Dostal jsem se k pisecke.7 niu pluku dislo 11. V voce 1903 jsrrio jednim inkm kamaradern jeli do Ra.ko.u.

V to dobe Uhri nechteli davat zadne de vojaky. A kdyZ' jedni nechteli davat vojsko, nechteli aril druzi, Tehdy jsme to ehteli nejak slavne oslavit a gli jsme do zabavy. Ale meli jsme Da za,7 bavy prigel Zanclarm s federpugem hla.sil, k se hledaji M. Benda a Josef 164= nek, Nalidil, ze musime byt druheho One rano v Pisku. Chteli jsme mu vysvetlova, ze musime dostat penize od sveho zameStnavatele. Dostali jsme vkchno v poladKu a hned odtud s narni na nadraZi; a brzy jsme vlakena uharreli k nagemu h. Cetnici uz po nas slidili, ale nakonec to dobre dopadlo, protok jsme byli jenom o 2 hodiny pozde. Tehdy byl jeclen vojenskY prapor v Pisku, tii byli v Praze na Smiehove. V Pisku jsme dostali v gechno haraburdi, ale paradni uniformy pry dostaneme aZ v Bosne. Dostal jseM s k 5. kumpanii a milj kamarad ke panii eislo 6. Bylo vkchno plipraveno odjezdu a cel' prapor se hnul ku Praze.

Do matieky Prahy jsme pitch pokud.se pamatuji v noci. V kasarnach vS'ak byli, vSechno plipraveno, nas plukovnik;nas plivital a kaZdy jsme se svkm takYrn na. kladem spechali na svetnice. KaaIST s tim pra gtil kam se dal° a ulehl unaven.
