DVA TiDNY PRICE

INULEHO TimNE DOSTALI nati organisatoti dopis z Hlavni fitadovny. Bylo to upozorneni, Ze thmesidni soutel v naborove praci bude ukondena v UterY o ptilnoci dne 31. srpna.

Navazuji na onen dopis poslanST natim organisatorrim. Tento dlanek je dalSim povzbuzenim a piipomenutim nejen pro nage organisatory, ale pro vtechny nate upkimne eleny. Chci zdrirazniti, Ze zdar a vzhist SPJST neni jen rikolem organisatorri, ale Ze zaleli take na samotnYch elenech, zdali nate SPJST zdarne ,roste a zdali kona ono vznetene poslani, ktere zakladatele poloZili v jeji gtit.

ZbYvaji pouze dva tYdny, ne2 thinesioni soute2 bude ukoneena. MnohY mane., ma domnenku, ie souteZ ptinese u2itek jen tem nejlep gim pracovnikilm, a ' e ti slabi organisatoii nemaji Zadnou nadeji na nejakou odinenu.

Zavod mezi organisatory a mezi jednotlivYmi distrikty byl vyplanovan na hodne trim zaklade. Ptedne, vtichni organisatoii meli dostati ptiletitost pro• kazati svou snahu. Za druhe, vtichni organisatoti ye svem distriktu zavodi o to, aby jejich distrikt ziskal procentualne nejvyggi poeet novYch elenti nebo nejvetti procento noveho pojitteni v pomeru k tiptnu, kolik elenii je NI onom distriktu. Za tieti, organisatoii dostali nove pomricky a informace, nove instrukce o vYznainu Zivotniho pojitteni, abychom u2 jednou piestali bYti pohiebnim spolkem, abychom piestali pamatovati pouze na pohrobniky, a take pamatovali na rodinu. JinYmi slovy, aby organisatoii v teto naborove praci gli vice mezi lid a poueovali ho nebo vysvetlili mu, *Ze tivotni pojigteni neznamena pouze vyrovnail' rietu za poh •eb, ale 2. e 2ivotni pojigterri poskytuje mnoho jinYch, dosud neznamS7ch a nepochopex4ch vSthod. A ko-

neene, aby touto souteL With na gi spolkovi pracovnici vice mezi lid, miuvili vice o nati SPJST, vysvetlovali jeji cii a rikol.

Jsou jette dva tYdny do ukoneeni souteZe. A neni to jen souta, ale je to zkougka pro v gechny nage organisatory. Pro vtechny—tedy pro tech gedesat nebo sedmdesat, kteii stale pracuji, a take pro tech sto tticet nebo vice, kteii jsou organisatory jen z dobre vole a pro jmeno. Tato souteZ je procesem, kde se pozna, kdo je organisatorem papirovYm a kdo je organisatorem opravdovYm. Je to zprisob, jak zjistiti a rozeznati ty, kteti jsou snahvYmi od tech; kteii jsou lhostejnYmi a nedbalSrmi. Toto je doba, kdy Hlavni rikadovna piljde pies celY seznam nagich pracovnikft a bude delati kfiZek u kaaleho jmena, kde si organisator zaslouZi, aby nad nim byl kfiZek udelan.

Snad nekterY organisator tekne: Tohle vtechno melo mne bYt oznameno hned pied deseti tYdny, hued na zaeatku soute2e, abych se do toho jinak phpravil, abych si vyhrnul rukavy davno, a ne a2 kdy mne zbYvaji dva tYdny. Ale prod by se melo delniku piipominat, nekdy se budou porovnavat flay a dojde take na jeho vSrplatu?

A tieba zbYvaji jen dva tYdny, neni pozde aspori neco dohoniti. KdyZ byl Ioni zavod mezi organisatory tietiho a pateho distriktu, jeden organisator ziskal v poslednim tYdnu thkrat vice na za cele tri piedchazejici mesice. Jen se rozhlednout kolem sebe a najdeme vtude lidi, kteii nejen ze pottebuji vice Zivotniho pojitteni, ale kteti vribec Zadneho pojitteni nemaji. A kaZda zdrava osoba od stall jednoho dne az do stafi 70 let mute bYti na gim prospektem. Ba mame na sta a sta rodin, kde jsou natich Mena, ktere by mely bSti zisko.ny do SPJST.

Byly kdysi doby, kdy jen nekterSi hoch a nektere device dostali pkilaitost, aby dokoneili mett'anku, nebo jak zde tomu fikame "high school". Pied tficeti lety to bylo chloubou rodidri, kdy chlapec nebo (levee "graduovalo". Dnes je to takkka nutliSrm poladavkem, aby mladik nebo devde meli dvanact rodnikri zakladniho vzdelani, a kdy jen trochu moZno, aspori rok, dva na vytti koleji,. uditelskem Ustavu, obchodni tkole nebo universite.

A podobne je tomu se Zivotnim pojittenum. Jako dnes LIZ nestaei, ze dlovek umi Gist, psat a poditat, rovneZ dne gek vy Zaduje vetti finaneni bezpeenost hned od malidka, hned kdyli se dite narodi. A pozvolna se finaneni bezpeenost zvy guje, jako se elovek stalSrm gkolenim nebo sebevzdelanim pkiueuje.

Tento elanek ma by'ti porebuzenim pro nate organisatory. Vlastne tyto fadky by mely bYti opakovanim toho, co natim organisatorrim je stale piipominano v natich organisatorskYch ktrrsech. Jenzase neptijdou do kursu vtichni, nokdy sotva polovina tech, kdo byli uvedomeni. A ye ticch kratkYch sloupcich neni mono rici v gechno to, nad nestadi ani hodiny vysvetlovani. Ale nektere hlavni body piece je nutno zde zopakovati.

At' kal2dS7 organisator je gte dnes udela si seznam osob, kteii Zivotni pojitteni potrebuji. At' zadne se svou vlastni rodinou. At' si vytahne vtechny zve certifikaty, rortoZi je pied sebou, polozi na no svou ruku a fekne si: Toto je muj majetek. Bude ten majetek dost velikY po zaplaceni pohiebnich vYloh? At' se dobfe zamysli. Pak at' vytahne pkihlatujici listinu a dopini pro sebe nebo pro eleny sve rodiny, co je gte schazi. Jestli to udela dnes pro sebe, at' zitra jde ku svemu bratru, sve sestte, a at' jim ukaZe, co pro sebe vykonal.

Od 1, eer yna do 31. cervence byl prirfistek v tretim distriktu asi 13 novych Clenn na kahlSren starYch elenn, nebo vypoeitAno procentuOlne, 6.58%.

Dle poetu elenn je ye etvrtem distriku velmi multi eastka Jednoty ,pouze ,jedna triatricetina velike rodiny SPJST. Ale etvrtY distrikt se snaZi ziskavat vice elenfi. Od 1.

To znarnend, Ze z kaaleho sta elenti SPJST najdeme v g estem distriktu 23 eleny, tedy je to nejsilnefS1 distrikt v Jednoty.

Ve sticedu, dne 18. srpna 1954.

Na vysvetlenou vgem ..organisitorilm oznamuje Hlavni Madovna, to katda tadost, ktera byla novkm tadatelem a organisa.torem• podepsana na 31. srpna, bude poditana do teto soutete, i kdyt le• kaeska prohlidka neb vystaveni noveho certifikatu se zpozdilo. V fiterY veder dne 31. srpria bude posledni peiletitost zapsati nektere novorozenatko nebo kteroukoliv jinou zdravou osobu do veku 70 let.

Tedy jen s chuti do prace techto peiRich etrnact drift!. as od easu prijde redaktoru dobie minena rada nebo poznamka, to to nebo ono nemelo bYti uvekejneno v natiem organu, ponevadt se tim ukazuji nektere nak chyby a nedostatky. Redaktor je vlastne slutebnikem elenti, a proto mel by se eiditi dle toho, co eleni tadaji. Na druhe strane redaktor east() poutiil vyrazu', na,a bratrskY list je zrcadlem naafi prace,. naafi einnosti, snah, pi ani a snad take nedostatkd. Obyeejne zrcadlo ukazuje krasu i nedokonalosti, eleganci i c!! umelost, tak jak lidstvo pied zrcadlem S pochoduje.

Nekdy se nam obraz v zrcadle, Ale neni tim vinno zrcadlo. Ani redaktor se neciti, to je zpro S ! ten sykch povinnosti, kdyt by zrcadlo nedrtel eiste, vyleStene, spravne ukazujici. Stalo se nam nejednou, to jsme rano pohledli do zrcadla, z nehot na nas koukala takeka cizi tvae, neholena, urn.azana, nebo s vaeky pod oalma, a se zrakem zaka.lenkm nebo bezvkraznkm. Ale zhasli jsme svetlo? Rozbili jsme zrcadlo? Naprosto ne. Udelali jsme deptem nejakou poznamku, co znelo jako "pod obraz boti", a hledeli jsme nejakkm zptisobem zmirniti ten neptijemnk dojem ze zrcadla. A ()boas jsme se jeSla vratili, abychorn v neornylnern zrcadle poznall, zdali se chyba zmenSuic.

Dejme tonm, to bychom naAli takove zizradne zrcadlo, ktere by nam ukazovalo jen krasu a za.peelo nam vkchny tipatnosti, neteklo nam nic o zateklinach pod oeima, o nebholene brade, o krVi podlitern belinu oei. Pollled do tdkoveho lichotiveho a pochlebneho zrcadla by nas nadmul pkchou a my bychom se samolibe ! vzhled by nesli do vekejnosti. Avsak na. A se tim nijak nezlepSil. Proto katidk takevy aby v nadem organu se ukazovala jen to licni strana, jen peednosti, bez tech uziu na rubni strane, bez upozornoni na nedostatky a nedokonalosti, bylo by jen galenim sama sebe.

Neni to shadna price, aby redaktor dovedl udrteti zrcadlo verne a eiste, aby podaval obraz bez nadsazovani a peekreslovani, aby ye svYch pojednanich byl pokud mono naprosto neosobni, jakoby byl pouze zpravodajem a nestra,nnym divdkem. Nekdy je tetko podati vernY obraz. Co je nespravne, to nemilte snesti tiadnou inspekci, ba nekdy roll let-

V2STNiK — WEST, TEXAS me natiknuti. Jestli je nee° ye spolku nebo ye vetejnem tivote zkatene, to nema rado denni svetlo. Polovieni pravda je nekdy horS1 net nepravda. Proto zazraene zrcadlo, ktere by ukazovalo jen east pravdy, neni vernkm zrcadlem. A at' je lidstvo sebe vice domkSlive a marfive, my obyeejne se divame do zrcadla ne proto, zda vkchno je hezke, ale spiproto, jestli neni nekde neco chybrie.

A podobne je tomu s praci redaktora, ktery peedstavuje 'elentim zrcadlo spolkoveho tivota: ne aby stale chvalil, ale aby poukazal, to tech chyb a nedostatkd stale ubYva, tie se stale zlepdujeme.

Vyiaduje to tez jistou smelost nebo kuraft, aby redaktor poukazal pravdive a neosobne nektere nedostatky v naS'em spolkovem tivote. Je k. tkmu teeba flloveka, Isterk ma do jiste miry pevnou peldu pod nohama, kterk se nemusi bati, nejake neopatrne slovo by mu mohlo ulomiti kiirku z chleba nebo dokonce odebrati celk bochnik. A beda tomu spolkovemu organu, jeho redaktor by ztratil odvahu ici, co si mysli. Pak by nebylo am zrcadla, ani redaktora, a ani pokroku ve spolku.

Na druhe strane nesmi redaktor pou2ivat sloupcil spolkoveho listu jen pro sve vlastni napady nebo peesteelky. List pat •i clenum, katdy ma pravo podati sve dobrozdani, sve mytilenky, ovaem v ramci tech pravidel, dle kterkch je spolkovk organ veden. Ve spolkovem listu by nemely bYti tadne debaty, ktere nejsou v zajmu vdech elenti;. ale katida, my,ienka pro zlepSeni spolku v jakemkoliv smeru, kdyt je podana tonem slu g -nYm,jevVstnikuavem'Tst. Mame v nagich stanoviCh jednu vetu, co milk a co nernide bkti uvefejneno ye Vestniku. Stoji tam, to kdyt byla by vysk:vena jen domnenka o neschopnosti kterehokoliv elena Jednoty, takova vec bYti uvetejnena ye Vestniku. S touto vetou jsem nikdy nesouhlasil—a souhlasiti nebudu. Tim jsou katdenut zacpana aby mne nepomlouval, ae si neumim zastreiti ko gili do kalhot, nebo jakoukoliv jinou mou neschopnost.

Zde se nesmi vysloviti ani domnenka, ktera by nepeimkin zpilsobein vrhala upozorneni, tie se stavam detinskkm, starnu, ae moje pamet nefunguje, tie moje dukvni bystrost zaeino, klesat. Takovou ochranu peed vyslovenim kriticnema ani president Spose jenych statil. Vim, proe a jak se toto oravidlo dostalo do stanov na sjezdu v East Bernard v 1936, ale je ua eas, aby neamericke a nedemokraticke pravidlo bylo z naMch stanov vypudteno. Zachovejme Si sve zrcadlo eiste a pravdive.

Na zadni strane tohoto a pilAtiho eisla najdete vykaz, jak si stoji jednotlive eaJy v naSi nab•rove kampani, kolik nov;kch clenii u katidehoi eadu piibylo od

BUJ:aim, 3 1. eervna do 31. eervence, v jake vk'di bylo upsano pojfAteni pro nave eleny v poslednich dvou mesicich—jednoduk kolik prace vykonali eadovi organisatoi-i.

Nekde byli ziskani tei novi eleni, kteei si vzali $1,500 pojititeni. Jinde jini tei novi eleni si vzali za, $11,000 pojititeni.

Nektere dosti stifle eddy, kde pracuje vice organisatorii neukazuji ani takovk pokrok jako u jineho eadu, kde praciije pouze jeden organisator.

Tento vykaz poiidil jsem 'it'astnou nahodou, to byl jsem od pondelka at do etvrtku minuleho tkdne v kancelail Hlavni fieadovny. Cim dale tim vice peichazim k peesvedeeni, to redaktor by bydleti poblit dsteedi, nebo v miste, kde jsou ostatni Mednici. A tam mel by bkti take pravni radce. Toto je me o.sobni mineni, soukromk nahled, k nemut dospel jsem pozorovanim, ae redaktoru by se snadneji pracovalo, kdyti, byl by ye stalem styku s hlavnimi Medniky.

Novo preblemy a poznatky se vyskytuji katdy den, nove mytilenky Se vtiraji katcle rozmluve s tim nebo onim vedoucim, a redaktor jakoby citil tlukot tepny cele Jednoty. V jedne schtizi Hlavni Madovny redaktor byl uvedomen, vlastne dostal pozvani, to kdykoliv chtel by se ptestehovati do Temple, bude pro nej kancelat peipravena. Onen pokyn a pozvani jsem vdeene peijal, ale zaeal jsem pfemYSlet. Nevim, kdo bude pei!Stirri daktorem, ba ani nevirn, zda se opet o redaktorstvi budu uchazeti. Stale nabadam, aby do ailetitYch funkci se zapeahly mlade a energicke sily. A tiebatie mam tak trochu dorozumeni s kmotkiekou Zubatou, ona ma nekdy vrtochy a mute mi dati na srozumenou, tie se budu stehovati jinam. Pak by se do Temple Mel dosadit nejakY hodna mladai redaktor. Na tutu .vkhodu, aby v'Sichni Akednici i redaktor byli pod jednou stiechou, meli by pamatovati delegati Atiho sjezdu.

Aby se zaiidila, v budove take tiskarna pro organ a pile farmulaie, ktere je tie ba pro Utedniky fisttedi nebo pro domaci eddy, s tim bych nemohl souhlasiti. A nesouhlasil by s podobnYm na.vrhem tadnY, kdo zna new o tiskarnach.

TiskatskY zavod, kterk by vyliovoval• vkm pottebam Jednoty, by motel bkti potizen nakladem nejakYch sto tisic. Bylli by to zavod merle moderni, musely by nektere tiskopisy bYti objednavany odjinud. A aby nate* fieednik vedl takovk stotisicovY zavod, to snadneji by se naueil operovat dalekohled, aby vypoeital piiati zatmeni slunce. Takovou funkci museli byste dati tornu, kdo by mel dobrou peedbetnou zkuSenost. A jestli by nebyl poctivcem at do morku ! svkch kosti, nikdo by ho neuhlidal, aby nealo dosti hodne do jeho vlastni kap(Pokraeovani na strane 10.)

Z (INNOSTI DOMACtCII ikAnfi C'INNOSTI DRAMATICKEHO KR011ZKU Dallas, Texas.

Tak znova do •psani, nechce se me, ale je to ma povinnost k dramatickemu krougku.

V minule schtizi Sokolske Jednoty v Dallas bylo uj• dnano, ge prigti sobotu 21. srpna bude, jako ka gcleho roku, pokadan vedirek v gech re giserft, ochotnin a tech, kteki se trochu zajimaji o hrani divadel jak eeskSich tak anglickch.

Budou volby re giseru, kolik divadel se sehraje za sezonu, a pak bude nejake pohosteni, aneb &l ye neg bude schilze.

Vgichni, kteki se o to zajimaji, budou Je velice potieba, aby mlacle g to pkevgala do svYch rukou. Ti star gi radi piljdou stranou a pkedaji jim ote ge dramaticke prate, at' to vedou podle sveho.

Vim a jsem pkesvedeena, 'ge vykonaji mnoho, kcty g chteji a ptala bych si, aby nezanikla ta nage divadla, ktera byla, jsou a zilstanou i made vyjimeenou krasnou zabavou na gich lidi. My stargi jsme trochu unaveni, potkebujeme odpoeinku. Po Best roku, co jsem jako svedek v Dallas, stale se hralo s celkoN/m nadgenim pet, Best az sedm divadel za ka gdou sezonu, mimo jinSrch programu a zabay.

Regiseki, kteki byli v gichni oblibeni, jak u ochotnikti, ,tak u obecenstva, men kagciSi sve divadlo v mesici, pkedstihovali jeden druheho, aby vytvokili na na ge pomery co mono peknSt dej, aby ochotnieke sily byli co mogna pilhodne k deji a obrazu, cog' se jim vgdy dobke darilo, pies nekdy opravdu take problemy, ale glo to.

Hledelo se taky v gdy k tomu, aby obecenstvo bylo uspokojeno.

Byli jsme vdeeni na gemu obecenstvu, ze nas podporovalo.. Nav gtevy byly vgdy za pkihodneho podasi ye vielkem poetu.

Byli to ti na gi nejvetgi pkiznivci, kteki nas posilovali. Bo ge, jak se to hralo, kdyg byla sin pina! Divadla (Jail ohromnou praci, jak pro ochotniky tak i pro rasery. Kolikrat ochotnik musi zatnout zuby a mleet — ale jde se, pone'vad'g to maji radi. Clo y& ma jen jednu tvaknost, drulie se musi naueit, co dej vygaduje.

KagdSt regiser bere na sebe velkou zodpovednost, kdyg ma kidit divadla. On nebo Ona, mush knigku dvakrat nebo tkikrat drikladne pfeeist ne gli najde pro ten dej easteene schopne sily, ktere musi vycvieit behem zkou gek, aby odpovidaly obrazu v deji. je nedostatek ochotnickSrch mladS7ch sil, to mu pkidava na tegkosti.

Pak . koneene kdy g divadlo se ma hrat, tak zaene pr get a prgi, tkeba je to vSTpravnY kus nebo zpevohra. Sv. Petr na to nehledi, jako se to stab, kdyi se hralo

divadlo "Kouzlo mladi" zde v Dallas, a pied lety v Ennis, kam jsme jeli z Houstonu hrat, pr gelo jen se lilo. To by re giser ne jenom plakal, ale breeel hodne nahlas. Ale musi si dal pies pusinku a zachovat destojnost re giserskou a jit dale, avaak ono bude slunieko zase svitit. S dobrou vfili a trpelivosti, ktera je hlavni, se doka.Ze mnoho, jen kdy2 se chce. Proto je potieba mladYch, kteti tu trpelivost maji, nas star gi jiZ opougti.

Proto ptatele prosim, odpust'te mi, Z"e ja jsem jedna z nich, ktera, to trpelivosti pozbYva a rada k by sloZila ruce v klin.

Snad si toho za tu opravdu vernou praci pro dramaticke Inen" zaslou'Zim za ta dlouha leta prate. Mela a mam divadla hodne rada, zvla gte hlubgi deje. Ja v nich nedbala jsem, pro kterou organisaci jsem hrala ja hrala pro obecenstvo .s celou svoji du gi. Neni me to snadne vzciavat se toho, ale jsou tu leta, a dnes svet vygaduje novou generaci, ktera ma jingi jak v divadle, tak ye v gem. Piece jsme vge staveli pro nastavajici pokoleni, ze ano? Tak se musime pkizprisobit my k nim. Podpotim, podivam se, poradim rdda tem, kteti to budou pottebovat, ale nechci se znovu uvazovat k povinnostem divadelnim. Jen prosim, udrZte ty nage Ceska divadla, hrajte je a nenechejte je padnout. Udelaly ty divadelni spolky v Am.erice ohromnou praci, a ja tisknu ruku dvema nejlep gim regiserinn, kteti me nautili hrat a vniknout do tajri dramaticke prate. Byl to br. John 8ulda, kteremu jsem opravdu vdeend, neb myglenka na divadlo zapudila velmi mnoho bolesti v mem Zivote.

Bratr John gulda je nyni nemocn"Y. Vycvieil tolik nagich ochotniku, byla to jeho givotni zabava, aby se hrala, divadla pro fad tefanik a peveckY krotdek Hlahol.

Rada bych vedela, zda,li si ti nagi herci na nej vzpomenou. Jsme vet ginou Cleny SPJST, ktero, nesla fkly odznak "Podpora, Lidskost a Bratrstvi", a byl to on, kterY ho namaloval na na ge jevigte a snad tam je dodnes, a hledel, aby se to heslo za.chovavalo. Proto prosim, zachovejme aspori tu Lidskost a Bratrstvi.

Vim, Ze tad 8tefanik nezapomina na nej, ale jini bratki, kteki ho znali a on je, aspori listeekem men by si na nej vzpornenout.

DruhST regiser byl pan LhotSkSr, bfrvalSr Glen Ludvikova divadla. v Chicagu, kterSr vedl 'Casein na ge divadla ye Slovenske sini na 27. ulici. On nas licit, napovidal, ale pri zkougkach nas opravdu zaueoval vniknout do tajri hry. Od nej se neil i reZiser, kterY byl volen tadem, a rad.

Rada jsern. mivala nageho Domina Nezvala. To u2 jsem byla auto., ale viclyeky.

jsem si nechala od nej kid, co a jak.

Nebo zde v Dallas na g br. Ludva TobernY. VZdycky kdyZ jsem pod nim hrala, tak jsem ho poaadala, aby me opravil, neb jsem se neslyg ela, a prosim, byla jsem uz stard hereeka. No ale, .bylo to potteba, ze ano?

Tak vidite, psat se mne nechtelo, neb jsern nevedela, jak do toho, ale jak zacnu o divadle, u2 se mne to sype z rukavu,•te nevim jak ukoneit.

Vzpominam na vas vg echny v Houstonu, i na Tebe, Kamilko, zvlagt'.

Tedy nezapomerite, v sobotu 21. srpna ✓ 8 hodin veeer v Sokolovne.

Pan Houdek me sdelil, ze bude 25. srpna na stejnem miste zase hran eeskY film "Polska krev". Tak prosim vgechny eeske lidieky v Dallas, dostavte se; je to krasnY dej. Videla jsem ho asi petkrat, ovgem hrali to herci, v mem rodi gti v Kladne, v Praze dvakrat v Nepomuku a ✓ Chicagu, kde to hrali Ludvikovci. Po-, kaZde se me libil, ted' prijdu zase na film, ovgem jestli do toho zase neco nevleze.

Pravil, ze celY den hledel zjistiti, kolik lidi by se zajimalo o to vec, a /e mela bYti ohlaSena pri schilzi, ale pro vedne trvani ani na to nedo/lo a te ut toho necha. Le mne vytidilka take nikdy nadarmo nestoji, tak jsem mu •tekla, te jestli jests vytrva, tak budu mluviti take a new se, jests doka/e. Chvile byla kratka, a jests toho vedera jsme s bratrem Jureikern, Hejnou, a Hrabinou se seznamili se sleenou Jandadkovou, ktera byla ochotna do Ennis ptijiti a Skolu vyudovati po dobu ttech tYdna. Umluvili jsme podminky, ktere by uspolcojily, te ji do ptiSti nedele dame vedet. Toho veeera se ohlasila schuze na dtvrtek veCer v narodni sini.

DOPISY A NAIILEDY CLENO Temple, Texas.

Bratre redaktore, sestry a bratii: Koneene se nam zde ty horke a Amorne dny trochu ochladily dlouho odekavanYin degtem, jen kdyby jej bylo spadlo trochu vice. Misty zde v okoli dostali as pies 3 coule, nekde 2 a nekde moc malo, ani ne cou/. Netrvalo vgak to ochlazeni cllouho; neb teplota stoupa, pies 100 stupfiti. Veera byla 102 stupne. V ty horke dny se xitil ka gdY brzo znavenY, zvlagte nemoeni upoutani v postelich. Zde v okoli pozbyli horkem lide hodne slepic.

Letos mame jia osm schuzi za sebou co minulost a take vYroeni piknik, kde Mani daruji vgechnu prati zdarma. Vydatil se nam dobre i finandne. 6ervencova schtize se konala tretiho veeer, nebo na etvrteho dervence obyeejne si kaadY rad nekde vyjede. Ve vederni schtizi lads poctil navgtevou i br. Chupick, tajemnik Hlavni iiradovny, a nekolika slovy k nam promluvil. Predseda ra,clu na geho, br. Fr. E. Heji ml. nas laskavYmi slovy povzbuzoval k dalgi praci a take poukazoval na to, jak nag predkove pracovali. S velkYmi obetmi si budovy staveli, by nemuseli se nekde pod stromy schazet, nebo budovy najimat. Opravdu, on jde v aivote ye glepejich sveho otce. Co vi ua dne gni pokoleni o tech velkYch svizelich starch pionYrti, kdy nebylo dobrYch cast, kdy se tlaeily v jedne gkolni mistnosti okolo zhrivaka a easto topivo si nejdrive musely samy neb s ueitelem nadelat. Do Skoly se z velke vzdalenosti glapalo pies pastry s bodlaeim a i clivoldm dobytkem.

Ja dovedu ocenit jejich velke strasti a svizele a neprestanu si vaait tech starch mozolnYch rukou a opravdu obdivuji i jejich pismo, nebo tehdy bylo malo nebo east° nic gkolni vzdelani, ale za to mei tvrdou gkolu aivotni. Dekuji br. Chupickovi i br. predsedovi za jejich slova.

Nage minula schuze prvniho srpna se nain moc zamlouvala, neb trvala jen hodinu a 20 minut, a mnoho se za to kratkou dobu vykonalo a vge uaiteene. V teto 3chit' zi jsme se usnesli, poradat nagemu stariekemu Menu pri pri gti ra.dove oslavu jeho stoleti tak yzacneho staki. 0vgem 'ae s dohodou jeho rodiny a Hlavni Aradoyny, coa se jia stalo, a proto k teto °slave zveme celou jeho rodinu i vzdalenou, aby udelali radost stariekovi a poetili svou na.vgtevou i 'rad cis. 47 v Seaton.

Vgak jsem dame, neCetla nikdy, ae by to veika dnes rodina Motlova mela sve sejiti. Byla by to opravdu vzacna oslava a zveme k ni ygechny rady SPJST, vilbec vgechny kdo tyto faciky budou eist. Sestry addame, by prispely rilznYm peeivem, smaa,enYmi kuraty i nadivkou, vtibec vkchno, od okurek az po pedivo s diky

prijmeme. Oslava se bude konat pateho zati, zapodinaje schtizi v jednu hodinu a 30 minut. Schtize se pak odroei a nasledovat bude malt' program, aby na to pak dedeekovi bylo blahoptano. Tento dedeeek je br. Jos. Motl, kterY si pro sve dobre skutky a vlastnosti toho zaslouai, neb jeho srdce a ruka byla vady otevrend, kdo pomoci potreboval. Rad se postara o maso k ()slave. Doufam, ae v gecko rnistrne nam pak pods dobra hlava a velice zruene per° pani Kamilky Fojta gicove a zajiste se na vge tesi tak, jako i ja.

Na listku nemocnSrch se nachazeji tito Cleni: Ses. Albina Chupikova, ktera jia od minuleho zati je nemoci upoutana v po-7 steli. Br. Jan Coufal st. je jia po operaci ve svem domove, ovgem jegte v lekarskem ogetrovani. Ses. Ann (Jerry) Chla,pek se podrobila vaane operaci. Dale je nemocnd dceru gka br. a ses. M. Fojta. Na g dlouholetY pritel Jos. Jakubec, predseda radii Tyr v Holland, se musel podrobit velice vaane a teake operaci. Nachazi se rovnea v King's Daughters nemocnici. Kdya jsme s manaelem v UterY konali navgtevu temto nemocnYm, mohlo to bYt jen par vterin. Vgem preji brake, uzdraveni a uleheeni v jejich nemoci, by se mohli navratit do svYch domovii.

Desateho srpna se porada veeere v sini radove Cis. 47 a to Farm Bureau veeer, kdea se porada i kontest krasek. ftad Cis. 47 ma dye a to hezka devea,ta, Beatrice Bartek a Helen Matou g. Nevim ktere jsou cialgi.

Bylo to v Toni, kdy jsme oslavovali late jubileum radove a rozvaaovali jsme, co by jsme zakladajicim elentim meli dat co paniatku. Zdalo se nam, neco co by mohli nosit, totia nejake knofliky, a proto jsme se vydali na cestu do Fayetteville do Hlavni Aradovny. Br. predseda F. E. Hejl ml. s manaelkou, rnilj mantel a ja. Br. Chupickovi se na g plan zalibil a on byl ochoten tyto knofliky objednat a take je i eleenum pri °slave pripnul. Lee bohuael, objednavka nedo gla yeas. Tu se zdalo, ae by i ti Men', kteri jsou v Jednote padesat let, moil mit je co pamatku, a dnes jia Hlavni firadovna tyto pamatky tacit= pro jejich padesatilete deny odesila. Lee vady a v gude se yyskYtne nejata, nemila vec, jaka i nam se stala a to pri otvirani domova Hlavni fitadovny.

Bylo ujednano, ae v meste Temple se yge bude dit v feel anglicke, na Seaton, jak dosud se deje, v reel 'desk& Nam se 6eskY dlouholetY reenik rozstonal a nemohl dojet, na coa nam se dosud poukazuje.

Lee doposud protokole radove mama Ceske. Vgak musime si vaait reel teto viasti, kdy nas co ditky pit ala, ale red materskou milujeme, mame v ni tolik krasy a

neanosti, kterou ona oplYva a kdyby byla nam miuva v ni zbranovand, snad by byla vice vaaena a milovand.

Vaaim si, ae se zakladaji krouaky deae a melo by v nich bYt poukazovano na dejiny naxoda, kterY zaloail i tuto dne mohutnou Jeednotu. Necht' je mid• deal vg tepovano do srdci a mysli vgecko jen dobre a krasne, Co glechti dug Cloveka a nejvice dug i detskou. Diky path leditelce mladeae sestre Clare Heilove a jejim pomocnicim, ae mladea uoi peknYin programilm v obou Mnoho ona obetuje finanene i s yYm easem s laskou a trpelivosti a deti budou ji kdysi vzpominat jako ty dallaske na pi. Boaenu Valeikovou, ktera, vady zdarma prvni mladea udila znat dobro a ualechtilost i v tech nagich krasnYch pisnich a vedla ditky dallaske pisne milovat.

Po preeteni organu ze dne dtvrteho srpna na prvni strance "Kdya se chYli k veeeru" add se to nemoane na jedne strane, ae bychom si mohli postavit domov pro stare eleny, ale na strane druhe zase by se to melo uskutednit. S tou Hlavni Uradovnou to bylo take tak, eleni byli na obou stranach ano i ne a dries jsme radi, ae domov vlastnime. Podam zde jen nastin, jak my s manaelem na to hledime, neb east° je to predmetem nagi debaty. On ma sve nahledy a ja zas sve a addnY z nas nevime, i co sve strechy a ditky mame, zdali my je nepteaijeme ty ditky a kdo nas pak °path as stati nas ueini nezpilsobilYmi. Dnes je doba, kdy v nemocnici se bide rodi a tea i umiraji. Ale kdo tarn chvili pobyl, on vi co to stoji a nema-li za nej kdo platit, jej tarn ani nechti, a mnoho 'nest nema v geobecnYch nemocnic. Kdyby si 'den platil pojistku, jako se plati treba do RVOS spolku, , kde kdya prijde negtesti, elan se neciti, ae bere nejakou almuanu, ale ae je na ty pojistky opravn.en. Co ale na druhe strane, je-li elan placeni •neschopen?

Dobre by bylo, aby se takove veci probraly do sjezdu a take i v na gch distriktnich schazich vaane veci probiraly.

Chceme-li nee° pro mladea einit a phnaget obeti, prof nekonat i pro ty ua sedrene 'deny a to namisto poSmanich venal, cos by bylo uaiteenejgi.

Letos mnoho lidu zmir.a, snad to zavifluje velke horko a sucho a vyprovodili jsme pritele br. Jana Chovance st. v Granger, Texas, (kterY nahle zemrel), na to posledni odpoeinuti. Milt' na g pritel odegel k vednemu odpoeinku jako mnozi jini a my jim posmrtni vzpominku yenujeme a v nagich myslich aiji dale.

Mill etenaii: Ua jsem chtela nekolikrat plat ohledne nag' ritulne a odpovedet sestte P. P. Mikeskove na jeji dotaz, kdo planoval to katolickou fitulnu. Byla to pan' Gussie Franta, nyni ua zesnuld, ktere, tuhle myglenku pfinesla, do sjezdu KJT ve West pied dty •ini roky. Myglenku podporovala sestra Marie Bada a pan' Angelina Mathcha, ktere tolik ye sjezdu prosadily, byly zvolene na t •ielennY vYbor, aby mezi sjezdy shanely penize na Utulnu. Ale jak se Yea pak utvatily, nebylo mono eekat do sjezdu, neb stalled, Faltyskovi, kteti darovali svoji 80 akrovou farmu, pottebovali pomoc.

Ua jsou ubytovani v ptijemnem domku na Hillje. Stafidek Petr FaltYsek mi povidal, ae as se obava, aby nekde neco nepokazil, ae je to v ge moc pekne. Domek bude pozdeji pro teditele a trYpomoc domove.

Neobavejte se, sestro Mikeskova, ted' nove stavene tak zvane ritulny jsou staYen& pod statnim dohledem. IVIusi bYt ohnivzdorne, alespori na jednu hodinu po vypuknutl ohne; musi bYt teple a vzdugne.

Nage svetniely pro jednotlivce jsou 8 14, pro dva 12-14. KaidY ma sytij ptistenek pro gatstvo, pradelnik, pohodlnY stolek a svoji postel. Je tam koupelna pro kalde d ye jednotlive svetnice a soukroma koupelna v kalde M g' svetnici.

ObYvaci pokoj je 22-42 a je spojen s jidelnou. Pak as budou ptista,vovany dalgi ktidla budovy, je pamatovano na jeden pokoj pro mule, tak zva,nY "domino parlor" neboli kutackY pokoj; a jeden pro l"eny, kde by mohly si pohodlne it neb haekovat, a kde bude jeden neb dva gici stroje. My rozhodne nechceme, aby se ti stafieci citili, ae jsou snad v chudobinci, a ae jsou snad zbyteeni na svete.

Stavba domova u2 je v pinem proudu.

Stavitel ma kontrakt na 65 pracovnich tak doufame, Z • e ke konci tijna, bude hlavni budova hotova.

Ted' nas vYbor na publikaci rozvinul horlivou kampari k ziskani dal gich 15 tisic, aby zaroveri mohlo bYt postaveno jedno Midi° k hlavni budove, neb ptihlagek uz je okolo tficeti. Sjezd KJT daroyal $3000.00, pak sjezd KJ2T rovnel $3000.00, a vyplatil nam tech $9,000.92,

Tak po delgim Case se zas musim ohlasit, le jegte liji a avam dobre easy na ✓ dervnu se olenil raCij vnuk Stanley Novadek, prave propu gtenY z vojenske slulby, ve ktere byl 3 roky v Japonsku.

Po vYcviku (Veal celY eas v kancelati a etvrtY rok byl ye Spojenych statech. Psal rodierim, aby mu poslali ktestni list, Ze si nagel v Kanade holku a take psal, na kterY den se umluvili mit svatbu. Tak ma dcera Vlasta, se zetem Tom Novaekem nasedli do kary a jeli mu na svatbu do Kanady. Jako novornanleIe za par dni se svatebni cesty do Buhi, tak jim jeho rodiee vystrojili peknou svatbu, ktere se zrieastnilo kolem Hi set lid'. A ae dostall tech peknYch a ullteenYch dara, netteba ptiporninat.

Na etvrteho eervence byla v Buhi pare.da, s prfivodem a okra glenYmi vozy, weer mnoho peknYch rachejtli. Pti gel ke mne syn Jerry, prave mel par dni prazdniny, Je topieem na vlaku 12 rokri, a pravil: "Mamo, my pojedeme do Yellowstone parku, pojed'te s nami na projild'ku."

Tak jsem jela a nelituji, co tam vgeho bylo k videni. V jednom miste voda valid chrli do vYAky sto padesat stievic, ureite vldycky za hodinu. A tech medvedri! Sedi u cesty a dekaji, aby je turisti krmili, ovgem jen z kary. Videla jsem jednoho velkeho medveda sedlciho u cesty, byl skoticove barvy, a mlade u sebe dame jako saze. Na jednom kopci byl vodopad; jak dopadla voda dolri, delila se na dye:

Strana 9 polovina tekla na sever, druha ptilka tekla na jih. Pak byl jiny kopec 12 tisic stkevic vysokY a na vrchu velkY hotel. To me pfipomelo v Evrope Velehrad, a take HostYn, na ktery muj zesnulY chodival s turisty, kdyl nevedeli, kudy pies hory je testa. To se delo na doporudeni farate, neb nadueitele Zilika, pry nag kostelnik Palat vas tam cloprovoll.

NekterY turista mu dobte zaplatil.

Jak jsme se vratili z parku, pfijela dcera Mary Kneerova s mulem a s moji pravnuekou Bernice Foukal z Alaba,my, pojedou do Kalifornie nav gtivit rodinu Votrubovu. Pani Votrubova je dcera KuderovYch, jestli s nimi chci na vYlet. Tak jsem zas jela. Pobyli jsme tam 10 dni a kazatel M. Votruba, s Mni, vlastrie my s nim, jezdili kaldj, den jinde. Ttikrat jsme byli v San Francisco. V parku je k videni ygechny molne livoeichy, od lirafy neb slona az po malinkeho ptaeka, orly, pelikany, lelvy, jeleny, rrizne raky, mnoho druhri ryb, itiznYch opic 1 gorilu. Zrovna takovou jsem videla ye Vidni v museu, jen to ye Vidni byla OTC Take jsme jeli pies Golden Gate must, kterY je asi 2 mile dlouhY, visatY, aadne pilite, ale co jsme jeli pies jiny, San Francisco—Oakland Bay most, ten je pies 8 mil dlouhY, za nejl bylo .yydano $97,000,000, a vybiraji mYto (mostne) 26% centu za jedno ptejeti. Videli jsme v moti ostrov Alcatraz, tam zilstavaji nenapravitelni zloeinci. Snad kolem toho ostroya se zdr'luje hodne Zralokft, take jim pfejde chut' na fitek.

Jednou jsme jeli do Petrified Forest, coa je 67 mil na sever od San Francisco, kde jsou vykopavky zkamenele obrovske stromy. Ja myslela, ?ie jedeme na ostrov a my vjeli do loth, ktera nas dovezla ku b •ehu. Pak jsme za gli na, vino do sklepa, ohromnY to sklep. Priznam se, ae ja bych v nem zabloudila. Pravodei nas provdzel hned na pravo, zas rovne, zas na levo, a to nam vzalo vice jak hodiny neZ jsme vygli. V kaZdem torn sklepe jsou obrovske trade s vinem. Ptala, jsem se, kolik galorni je v takove jedno beece. 2e 20 tisic galonil, a bylo jich na, sta. Ten pravoddi nam pravil, Ze 100 61nano ruble &Maio ten sklep ve skale 4 roky. Oni mlaqi vino neprodaji, pet rokri.

Domri jsem pfijela, bylo v ge v potadku, sousedka mne zavodnovala, co pottebovalo vodu.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THIS WEEK, I AM COMPELLED . TO discuss on this page some of the essential points that have also been discussed in the Czech section. Should any of you read both sections with the same ease, please pardon the duplication of ideas. But it is' iMportant to give some of the matters pertaining to our present campaing the widest publicity possible.

• • A T.ETTER WAS SENT OUT FROM the Supreme Lodge to every SPJST organizer. There are about sixty or seventy organizers who wouldn't need that type of letter. It was a reminder that the contest of the organizers will be over on Tuesday, August 31, 1954, at midnight.

Any application which will be signed by the applicant and by the organizer as of August 31, 1954, will be counted to the credit of the organizer and also to the credit of the district in which the lodge of the new applicant is located. If it should happen that an organizer in District Six secured a member who wished to join a lodge in District Five, the organizer of District Six will get a credit for his personal effort, and the District Five would get a credit for obtaining a new member.

AS THE SITUATION LOOKS AT present—and I am writing this in Temple on Wednesday, August 11, 1954, after inspecting the records of the three-month drive—there are going to be some surprising results at the close of the campaign. he contest is progressing remarkably well, almost better than it was expected. About seventy organizers have been busy and have already secured nearly a quarter - million of new insurance in August. But we have over two hundred local organizers, and some of them have not made a scratch ,cf pen this year. The letter from . the Supreme Lodge was intended mostly for those organizers who did not make any showing this year. ,FT ME REVEAL A SECRET TO THE organizers. The three-month campaign has a multifold purpose. I shall not mention all the reasons and benefits. But one purpose of the drive is to give every organizer a chance to prove to .himself and to the Supreme Lodge g g he has in

him the stuff which makes an organizer.

If he hasn't, he will be dropped from the list and, if possible, replaced by someone else, or the territory will be covered by an organizer from an adjoining lodge. The three-month period is long enough for every organizer to locate one or two prospects and to secure new members.' ,

Encyclopedia Britannica, if the newcomer is a boy. If it's a girl, young mother has a vision of something more feminine perhaps the little one's first dancing lessons, or her piano lessons, or violin, or if she will be vocally inclined. That is the time when our organizer should present—without using any pressure-cne of the juvenile plans.

THE MOST COMMON COMPLAIN--WE really should call it an excuse—given by the organizers for not being able to write any new business is the scarcity of prospects. But any healthy person, be it an infant one day old or a man or woman seventy, is a prospect, if' he is in good health. There are hundreds and hundreds of children in every community, from infants , to the teen-age group, that should have one of the eighteen plans which the SPJST offers to the -members. There are thousands among the older members who should have additional life insurance to advance or to complete their program of security.

Elsewhere in this issue is a report on the farmers in Wharton County, made by a special survey of the rural sociologists from Texas A and M College, showing how pitifully little insurance the farmers have. And what is even more pitiful is the fact that the person who needs it the most has the least amount of insurance, or none at all. * * SOMETIMES I AM INCLINED TO BElieve that young new mothers would make us much better organizers than some of our old memberse The young mothers are better planners for the future of the children than some of our local workers who are supposed to explain the sound planning of life *insur-7 once. And it seems to me that more juvenile insurance is sold to mothers than to fathers. Or if the father is undecided, it is the mother's prodding which helps in making sound plans for the future of the child.

IF THE FAMILY IS STRUGGLING financially—and ninety-five per cent of them are—the organizer should at least explain the advantage or our "J-T" plan, which is the cheapest you can find anywhere. It is true that it is a temporary protection, but the family's f innancial straining is also temporary. When the conditions permit, the "J.T" can be changed into a permanent plan which every youngster should have. So don't overlook the value of the "J.T" certificate. It is the best buy for those who cannot buy the more expensive protection and savings plans. Get your little notebook out and mark every child of your relatives and friends as a potential SPJST member. Do it this week. See the family now. • * * EVERY MOTHER AND EVERY FATHer have preliminary visions what their children could be and do, and also what the parents would like to do for the children. But many times these plans do not go beyond the' "vision" stage. That's where our organizers should be of assistance in molding the vision into a practical, concrete financial plan: savings and protection combined. Sound planning should be offered to the parents, Not a plan to take care of an undertaker, but to prepare financial arrangements for the youngsters' higher education. And we have the Educational plan or an endowment plan. It needs to be advertised. And we have about one hundred forty organizers who are sleeping on the job. That's the reason for the letter last week to every local organizer.

That's one of the -reasons we have this membership drive so that the public would realize that the SPJST offers wonderful service, that we are more than a burial association to pay for the coffin and the flowers.

AFTER THE NEW ADDITION TO THE family arrives—when the formula is just right and the young mother has accepted her new role, the planning for the future of the child begins in new mama's mind. First, it is the new set of

FARMERS IN WHARTON COUNTY A survey recently was conducted by the Texas A and M College on the economic standing of farmers in a typical Texas county.

Some fifteen years ago, Brother August 'Kacir, of, Temple, gave me a list of various counties in Texas showing a predominance of Czech farmers as they appeared on the tax rendition sheets.

Wharton County was at the top of the counties. At least the Wharton County tax records show more Czech names than any other county in Texas. Consequently, the report by the Texas A And M College on the financial standing of farmers in Wharton County should have double significance. The report reads: How economically sound is the average Texas farmer? What plans does he have for old age and how many have definite plans for retirement?

Answers to these and oilier questions were sought recently in Wharton County in a survey designed to check the economic security of the State's farmers. Wharton was selected because of its variety of physical, economic and social conditions and is described as a representative Texas County.

Principal crops grown are cotton, rice, corn, grain sorghums, hay and alfalfa.

Truck crops, livestock and poultry contribute substantially to farm income.

Dairying is a growing enterprise.

The net worth of 257 farm operators interviewed ranged from "debts greater than assets" to well over $30,000. Fiftysix per cent had a net worth of less than $10,000. And 42 per cent fell in the lessthan-$5,000 class. Seventeen per cent were worth less than $1,000 and, in this group', one in three indicated debts greater than assets.

The study, initiated by Texas A and M College cooperating with the 13ureau of Agricultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture, is, reported by. William G. Atkins and Joe R. Motheral, assistant professor of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology and USDA labor economist, respectively.

Education was directly associated with net worth, the survey revealed, as was lace and nationality background.

Insurance is not widely used by Wharton County farmers as protection against death or disability. Nearly onethird of all farmers had little or no insurance. The majority of the larger policyholders were found in the 35- to 44year-old group. Those 55 and over carried the least insurance.

Relatively few farmers in Wharton

County had ever discussed economic security with their wives and other family members. Too, families in tie weakest financial positions had given least 'consitteradion to their 'economic future.

More than half said they had made no real progress toward saving for old age.

Those having accumulated assets, believed their farms would be their chief source of income in later years.

Only 12 per cent had made positive plans for retirement, 10 per cent had given retirement a little thought and the remaining 78 per cent had given little cr no thought to retirement. About three-fifths of all farmers indicated they did not plan to retire.

Only 1 operator in 5 had discussed with his children, even casually the possibility of their participating in some plan to provide for the parents in old age. One farmer in nine desired to live with his children upon retirement and 3 out of 4 wanted to stay on a farm.

A combination of financial interests in farmland, livestock or farm improvements, plus one or more types of nonfarm holdings, was the most common saving or investment. Sixty per cent of the farmers checked reported this combination and the proportion increased with net worth.

More than half the farmers interviewed in Wharton County had some income in 1951 from nonfarm sources.

Off-the-farm work, oil and gas royalties or rentals and nonfarm investments were the prime sources of additional income.

Eighty-three per cent of the operators expressed general approval of aid-age and, survivors insurance, 10 per cent disapproved the program and the rest took no position on the question.

Cash savings among regular hired workers were rare. Thirteen per cent had no assets while the main type poperty owned by the others was an automobile or truck.

Forty-seven per cent had a life or burial insurance policy, the survey indicated. Of the 10 per cent attempting to save, most averaged no more than $5 or $10 a month. * • You may read this report on the farmers in Wharton County and remain nonplussed. But to the organizers in District Six some 'of the statements should be what a red flag is to a Mexican bull.

Lock at those lines: Insurance is not widely used by the farmers as protection against death.

Nearly one-third of all farmers have little or no insurance.

Fam0A, in the weakest financial positions had given least consideration to their economic future.

Only one farmer in five had ever discused with his children, even very slightly, the problems of old age.

More than half said they had made no real progress toward saving for the days when they cannot work any more.

Now isn't this a real challenge to our organizers? Look at the list of the SPJST lodges in Wharton County and tell me, honestly, are we doing our share in teaching cur members and their neighbors the value of life insurance?

This report should be a red flag to every one of the SPJST organizers in Wharton County — and elsewhere.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES LODGE POKROK NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members and Friends, First, I wish to thank all the people who told me that they enjoy reading my letters in the Vestnik: That really has given me a boost.

Through these lines I wish to invite you all to attend your local lodge and district meetings. These are very interesting and I only wish I could put it all in writing. But I'm sure that once you start attending these, you will enjoy them very much.

Editor Valcik mentioned in Vestnik that he will give an opportunity to the reporters that attended the District 3 meeting in Ennis, July 25, to give the report on that meeting. To be honest with you, Brother Editor, I'd rather you give the report. Since that meeting, things have happened here at home so my mind didn't stay long on just what went on. This "happening" I will disclose later in this letter.

The program winding up the session of Czech summer school turned out very well. The children did exceptionally good considering the short time in which they had to learn. Many people were there. I am sure everyone who attended enjoyed this program.

The baseball team Benefit Dance will be Saturday night, August 28. I heard a report that a swell time is planned.

The Abbott's Rejcek Band will furnish the music, and there will also be good food and drinks with plenty of prizes to win. So come and enjoy this dance while you give support to this worthy baseball team organized by our youth.

It's nice to read those stories that are translated from Czech into English. I think it's a wonderful idea, just keep it up, you youngsters. I can remember some of those stories my mother used to tell us.

I'm saving these stories as I will someday be able to read them to our first grandchild. Yes, this is the "happening" of which I wrote earlier. Diane Marie checked in at 8 lbs., 14oz. August 3rd.

Naturally, she is cute as can be with my son Leonard and his wife Mildred as proud as ever (not to mention Grandma and Grandpa.)

Don't forget the ball team benefit dance, August 28. Better sign off now, it's time to heat that bottle for Diane Marie! !

CZECH HOME FOR THE AGED (Reprinted from the El Campo News) The Czech-Catholic Home for the Aged al, Hillje is finally becoming a reality with the completion of the staff cottage o rid the laying of the foundation for I he first large 12-bed unit.

The project recently got a shot in the arm when the Czech KJT and KJZT lodges donated $15,000 from the treasuries of their state organizations to the construction of the home.

This, plus a large number of ether donations which amount to nearly $50,000, will allow the construction of the .first unit and an addition.

Rev. Vinklarek pointed out that the new home would be a valuable contribution to El Campo and other surrounding communities bringing in additional trade to local concerns. `The most significant contribution the home for the aged is making it a social one," he said. 'The care of the aged is becoming more and more of a problem with each passing year because the number of old persons is increasing.

from 65 to 69. We are doing something here to help solve that problem.

Officials of the home estimate that it will require around $100 a month to keep a person in the home. The permanent staff will probably be three persons at first.

Despite the fact that funds are now available to build the first unit of the home, continued financing of the propect will not be an easy job, Rev. Vinklarek warned. Funds will be deeply appreciated from any source.

The administrative organization of the home still remains with the board of directors who have directed plans for building and operating the institution loom the beginning.

A brief open house held recently after the completion of the staff cottage heralded the arrival of the home's First ocupants, Peter and Mary Faltysek and Mrs. Einma Bukovan.

The Faltyseks donated a farm for lands for the construction of the home.

Mrs. Bukovan is Caring for Miss Faltysek ad her brother, "We intend to keep our pledge that the home will remain open for persons of all faiths and national backgrounds," Rev. Vinklarek said recently. "All the construction is in accordance with state specifications and the operation of the home wil comply with those specifications," he said.

The clergyman, who has been a leading figure in the construction of the home along with Mrs. Mary Baca of El Campo, explained that one of the most serious problems facing the administration of the home was the method of choosing the persons who would be adaittee to the home.

As in a perverted game known as "Russian Roulette," where a revolver barrel with only one bullet is spun, the trigger pulled in a 5 to 1 gamble that the trigger and bullet won't conincide, sa many are taking chances with their health and lives.

VE8TNik — WEST, TEXAS

Wednesday, August 18, 1.1.1S1...:

THE ANNOYANCES OF OLD AGE Aunt Sue stormed cut of the bank president's office. Her chin iuivered with rage. The banker stood in the office door looking after her with mixed anger and sympathy.

Suddenly she turned. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, George. You wouldn't try to pull this sort of thing if you didn't know this is the only bank I can get to anymore." She stomped out, leaving an unnatural hush.

"What was that abotitW" the tall stranger at the teller's window asked.

The teller gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Oh, that's just Aunt Sue. She's getting old. Makes a scene about her check every month.'

"Why?" "Well, she' can't remember getting the last one, and thinks that we owe her for two months instead of one. Between her checking account and the trust fund, it's too much for her. In a couple of days she'll call up and apologize."

The people who knew Aunt Sue as a really sweet old lady were genuinely fond of her. They didn't just put up with her because of what she had once been, although there were a great many who owed her debts of gratitude. Her emotions might swing more wildly between broader, Willits. Her weakened memory might pose problems that her mind was no longer facile enough to handle easily and tactfully. But • her friends could see that the path she was followed was still a good path.

This is true of most old persons. You can get along with them even if you don't understand just why they act the way they do. But it helps if you can go beyond that, to real understanding.

Changes in mind and personality that go with extreme age don't always happen the same way or at the same age.

A person is as old at his arteries, not as old at his years. The arteries that supply different parts of the brain wear out a different times and to a different extent in different people. Therefore, every person has his own way of showing his age.

The first of these changes is loss of memory; or rather, loss of ability to make new permanent brain records from which memories can be drawn. Incidents from the distant past stand out more sharply for elderly persons than they did when they were younger. It is hard for an old person to remember what his last meal was, or whether he went to town yesterday, or whether the pastor stopped in last week.

No one is willing to admit even to

(By Dr. John E. Eichenlaub) himself that he is getting old. So the mind usually hides this memory loss.

In some ways that are harmless, and others that are quite harmful, old people actually keep from facing the fact that they don't remember as well as they once did.

One of the best methods they use is living by pattern. Old Mrs. Simpson is a good example. She always pays cash.

She goes for groceries on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, always right after lunch. Friday is the day her children visit her, and she always has cookies and coffee reddy. Tuesday is the sewing circle and Thursday the lady comes td clean.

Down to the last detail, Mrs. Simpson% life is well ordered. She never goes into a pout except when something interferes, when none of the children come on a Friday, or when Monday is a holiday. Like as not, she'll make cookies even if everybody's out of town, and go to town with her shopping basket in spite of the red letter on the calendar.

Another fairly good method is to fill in the holes with a reasonable substitute. If an oldster's mind can do this automatically, it keeps everybody happy, including hemself. When you asked one old fellow about his meals, for example, he always said that he had eggs for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch and steak for dinner. There was no reason for his children to doubt his word, since he lived alone. It wasn't until he developed enough vitamin deficiency to send him to a doctor that anyone learned about his real diet. The house was full of empty bean cans. Even in the hospital, he insisted that he had eaten eggs, ham sandwiches and steak each day, and that the doctor was wrong.

This is not just a way for an oldster to be sly. It is a way of hiding a defect.

It is harmless as long as the people who are watching over its user quietly check up on him. The other way in which a failing memory is sometimes covered up, at least as far as the victim himself is concerned, is by accusing other people of crimes of omission. Aunt Sue, with her "missing" checks, is an example.

Of course, the only thing you can do about this sort of trouble is to make loss of recent memory easier to live with. Encouraging a regular, all-embracing schedule helps a great deal.

Paying cash on the line, or paying bills at regular intervals (especially if the intervals are infrequent enough to make

it a lot of work, so that a member of the family has a good excuse to help) is also helpful. The habit of making notes should be encouraged too. But the habit must be acquired before memory loss becomes a problem.

It is wise to check on the accuracy of an old person's memory at intervals.

It's especially wise to check up if you find that ability to, recall what has •just happened is beginning to fade.

Aging of the brain causes other trouble besides memory loss. The dampers that enforce moderation on normal a-. dult emotion gradually become less effective. This process is different from simple loss of inhibitions; all emotional reactions, not merely those of which a person might be ashamed, become faster and stronger. Something that would have peeved a man slightly at age 60 will throw him into a rage at 75. A joke or an amusing thought that Would have given him a chuckle will call forth peals of laughter. A scene that would have touched him slightly will ina.ke him. weep. And all of his mood swings will be not only bigger but infinitely faster than before. He will change from laughter to tears and back again on an instant's notice.

A young person who wants to soothe his jangled nerves with music should listen to something like Brahm's Piano Concerto No. 1, which starts in a mood of tempestous, almost unbearable tension, and gradually leads into quiet, contented calm. Unless the mood of the music parallels his own at the start, he won't be able to immerse himself , in listening. His mood won't let him lose himself in the music.

But a person who needs to be soothed can get almost instant help from a lulluby or a nocturne. An old person who needs to be cheered can give ear to a sprightly song or a brillians waltz. The moment that the mood of these pieces catches him, his old mood disappears.

Perhaps there is no single fact about the aging mind as important as this mood situation. Even a timeworn joke or a momentary reminder of some pleasant memory will pull an oldster out of the blues. Such tonics can even be selfadministered. A favorite poem ,a cheerful phonograph record, or even a deliberate recollection drawn from happy, bygone days will often end an ugly Period. All that is needed is to fix the old person's atention for an instant on szmething that makes -him feel cheerful and happy, and overwhelming cares vanish.

An aging brain causes one other type

reclnenday, Attgri§t 18, 1i154 of trouble. The brain has the job of gathering information from all parts of the body and relaying orders to all the body's muscles. The weakening of tiny areas of brain tissue with loss of circulation through hardened arteries throws these functions slightly out of kilter. If the information-gathering areas are damaged, the victim complains of peculiar or painful sensations. Little areas of numbness, neuralgia, and crawling sensations are quite common, If the muscle-controlling center's are involved, trembling and sometimes stiffness or slight clumsiness may appear.

Pain-relieving medicines are best ordered by a doctor. Old persons often have such a variety of disorders that even aspirin must be carefully prescribed.

Old-age trembling is harder to fight, and many old people are selfconscious about it. It only takes over when the muscles are not being used for deliberate motion. This kind of trquble can be controlled, at least in public, by giving the affected muscles something to do.

Hooking rugs, knitting or crocheting is good for this purpose—and old woman can do these things almost anywhere without being thought odd. Whittling or leather work can help some men, although unfortunately you can't whittle in the living roam or the church base ment. A chin tremor is somewhat harder to disguise, since most old people aren't equipped to chew gum. A bit of cardamon seed, a whole clove, or a tiny licorice wafer can be used.

Stiffness, clumsiness, and tremors that get worse when the affected muscles are used are more stubborn problems. A doctor may be able to give some help, although often pitifully little.

The aging mind is not really a childish mind. From the wealth of experience and the gathered richness of a hundred friendships, the aging mind draws wisdom and charm. From fully tested conviction and fully explored avenues of thought, the aging mind draws faith and keenness. These glories are not lessened nor impaired by the defects of age.

Arteries harden and the brain cells they supply with nourishment die or fail to function, and problems inevitably result.' But those problems do not cancel the old person's virtues and advantages —they are side issues, extra annoyances, unwarranted burdens. Perhaps some day medical science will learn to keep arteries soft and open. Countless dedicated researchers are even now digging for new facts and new methods to accomplish this worthy purpose. But meanwhile, the problems of the aging brain

When the festivities were over, the Great Profile was barely able to walk.

The following morning, his wife, who had not attended the shinding, asked him: "How did you manage to get home last night? It was pitchblack outside.

Even a sober man would have difficulty in finding his way."

"It wasn't imuch of a walk," said Barrymore, "my host loaned me a lantern."

Later in the day, Barrymore's neighbar dropped in.

THE LIE DETECTOR TESTS You've been hearing about lie detect-' ors for years, of course, but it's unlikely that you have anticipated ever being tested on one of the machines •yourself. : After all, you don't intend to rob a bank, Oonimit a murder, or otherwise dabble in -crime, so if you have given any thought to the matter, no doubt you have assumed that your obviously honest way of life would automatically immunize you against any mechanical probing.

It may be that you never will be given such a test — but don't be too sure! An ever-increasing number of business firms are adopting routine, periodic lie-detector tests of their employees.

And for several years now, it has been rumored that, in the event of an out war with Russia, the government May use the "squeal box" to discover which of its citizens are lying when they love their Uncle Sam better than the boys in the Kremlin.

Under ordinary circumstances, no employer or government officials can as yet legally ft:mce you to take a lie-detector test, but few people refuse, since any objection is interpreted as a virtual admission of guilt. You may swear ahead of time that no one is going to grill you on any such contraption, but when and if you are ever called upon to take a test, you will probably climb down from your constitutional rights and give your consent as meekly as everyone else, willing (and perhaps eager) to prove that you have nothing to hide.

Assuming, then, that some day you may be given a lie-detector test, what will the experience be like? Will it really be able to prove your innocence or guilt? Is it apt to point a mechanical finger of suspicion at you even though you are innocent? Is there any way you can "beat" the test if you want to? And what are your emotional reactions likely to be?

To begin with, you'll probably have an attack of jitters. All jokes and cartoons about the machine to the contrary, the lie detector is no glorified parlor game.

If yOu ever are requested to submit to an offcial test, they won't be asking you if you were really visiting a sick friend last ilighl and if you honestly like the lampshade Aunt Nellie gave you for Christmas.

Your job may be at stake, or an insurance claim may be pending, or the authenticity of your income-tax return May be under fire. No matter how innocent you are or how eager you may be to take the test, the very fact that your integrity is being held up to the

(By Earl and Jean Giovani) light is enough to give anyone the flying fidgets.

There are several kinds of lie-detector machines which have proved valid, and hundreds of others which are worthless. The one most widely known is the Keeler Polygraph, invented by the late Leonarde Keeler, with the help of John A. Larson and August Vollmer, chief-of-police of Berkerly, California.

The Keeler Polygraph has frequently been used to help crack apparently shatter-proof criminal cases, and has earned an international reputation for accuracy.

If a Keelef Polygraph is used for your test, you will be asked to remove your coat and you will be seated beside a desk. You won't be facing your interviewer, however, and you will not be able to see the actual operation of the machine without turning half-way around in your chair. A bloodpressure cuff will be wrapped around your upper arm to record your pulse and blood pressure. A tube around your chest will be connected to the pen that records your respiration.

Two tiny, brine-soaked sponges, fastened to the palm and back of your left hand by means of electrodes, will pick up the changes in skin electricity and pass them along to the third pen for recording, The room will be businesslike and quiet. When the test begins, you will hear nothing but the soft whir of the machine and the whisper of the three pens as they record your emotions. In an even, almost monotonous, voice, the interviewer will start asking you questions that can be answered by "yes" or "no."

The first few questions will be the "control" type, to establish your emotional norm. The interview will probably go something like this: "Is your name Joe Doakes?"

"Yes." "Are you married?".

"Yes." "Did you eat breakfast this morning?"

"Yes." "Did you take a taxi to work?"

"No." After several of these questions, a "vital" question will be inserted, one that has a direct bearing on the subject under investigation Throughout the test, control questions will be interspersed at intervals with Vital ones.

When the questions are finished, you will be told to sit quietly and rest a few moments. The interviewer very likely will leave the room in order to give you an opportunity to relax more completely.

When he returns, he will tell you that there will be another run-through of the test to provide a "check" on the results.

The second test will be an exact duplicate of the first, with the same questions asked in the same order. At the finish, the interviewer will say, "That is all the questions I am going to ask you. Your test is finished." He will deliberately tell you this, and then wait a few seconds before turning off the machine, for your reaction to the fact that the questioning is over is also part or the test.

Many innocent people are afraid that their tenseness or nervousness during the test will give them an erroneously `guilty" score. This particular anxiety needn't keep you awake the night betore your test, for the state of your nerves will have nothing to do with the outcome of the examination. No matter how jittery you may be during the questioning, any attempt at falsehood will be recorder unerringly. Your automatic physical reactions will be stepped up the moment you say "yes" when you know you ought to have said "no." And regardless of how many symptoms of fear you display, they cannot distort the truth.

We had an interesting but also a rather ego-deflating experience when Mr. Keeler gave each of us a sample test to demonstrate the effectiveness of the machine in catching even "little" lies.

After more than a dozen years of marriage, we were pretty smug about how well we knew each other. Both of us could have sworn that we'd be able to tell if the other was trying to "cover up" anything, and we were ready to pit our own discerning eyes against any mechanical gismo ever invented.

But the polygraph outsmarted us.

Testing us in turn, Mr. Keeler asked each of us to think of a number between one and twenty. As he called off the the numbers in rapid succession, we were told to answer "no" to each one, including the one we had secretly selected.

We watched each other closely, sure that we'd be able to tell when the other was lying, but the machine caught U3 both, with only one pen in operation and with out the additional factor of the control questions! In order to save time as well as to prove the extraordinary perception of the polygraph. Mr. Keeler hadn't bothered to fasten the tubes around our chests or to use the blood pressure cuff. Our hands, connected to the center pen, gave us away!

As a matter of fact, it seldom is necessary for anyone even to answer a question in order for the pens to make an accurate and revealing record.

One of the polygraptes most famous records concerns a murder committed in , 1920 when a man by the name of Karl Mayer killed an Annapolis graduate, James Bassett, and buried the body in King County, Washington.

Mayer was arrested because he was found, driving the missing man's car, but protested his innocence and offered to take a lie-detector test. He answered all questions readily enough until it dawned on him that Keeler had discovered his guilt.

However, since the lie-detector findings are not admitted as legal evidence in court, he knew he still didn't have anything to worry about unless someone found the body of the murdered man.

So when he became aware that the questioning had begun to take a geographical turn, Mayer stopped talking. He sat sullen and silent, refusing to answer as Keeler began asking him, "Did you dispose of the body in California?" . . .

"Did you dispose of the body in .Oregon?"

Even though he refused to talk, the three pens continued to record his emotions, and when _Keeler finally asked, "Did you dispose of the body in Wash'ington?" the reaction was unmistakable.

Keeler called for a map of the state of Washington, and with a pencil he be-

gan to indicate one county after another. "Was it here?" . . . "Was it here?" . . . "Was it here?" . . . until his pencil finally pointed to King County.

At this point the reaction on the machine was violent. ` Keeler then called for the map of King County, and began a township-by township survey. As the suspect realized that his silence was useles and that his emotional reactions were inexorably leading Keeler straight to the burialplace of the corpse, he frantically hurled himself on the machine and smashed it.

Later, when his mother confessed to her share in the crime and revealed the burying-place, it was found to be in the very area Keeler had located via the polygraph. Mayer committed suicide enroute to the murder trial.

Could you beat the lie detector if you tried? Probably not. The 1 per cent of known errors have almost always involved persons of near-moron intelligence or those so abnormally phlegmatic that their ever-so-slight reactions do not register enough to give a definite indication of their innocense or guilt.

After years of trying to outwit his own machine, Keeler finally was able to lie with impunity in such tests as the number-routine he used with us. But he had to be completely disinterested and detached — if he had so much as a single dollar wagered on the outcome, the machine invariably tripped him up.

Like most people, we had expected the machine itself to be rather spectacular.

But no bells rang, no lights flashed, no roman candles went off to indicate that the machine had caught itself a liar. We We went into the office with a. halfgrin on our faces, the way you do when you approach a good vaudeville show. It didn't take us long to do a mental reversal, and we soon were looking at the machine and the people who operated it with the respect one always accords scientists absorbed in worthwhile scientific work.

When we left the office and went out into the corridor, we asked Leonarde Keeler to show us the window out of which a man from near our home town had jumped after being "caught" by the polygraph for the murder of his wife.

But then we thought of another man whose test we had also been told about a frightened, middle-aged man who had been freed, by that same mechanical contraption, of all suspiciOn of guilt in a diamond robbery. And as we hear of more and more persons taking 'the test and whenever we hear rumors of the thousands who may be subjected to an examination in the future.

"Remember," he told us, "the lie de• tector isn't just to trap the guilty ones.

Its real purpose is finding the truth, so that those who are innocent can go free."

Valjean popogel k ni.

Cosetka jeate se obratila k Mariovi a kekla: "Na tebe se hnevam," a nastavila Valjeanovi eel° k polibeni.

Valjean popoSel jekk krok k ni, Cosetka nahle ucouvla.

"Tatinku, vy jste nadmiru bled. 0i snad ruka vas boll?"

"Ne, jig je zahojena," odpovedel Valjean.

"Snad jste Apatne spal?"

"Nikoli."

"Jste tedy smuten?"

"Nikoli." ."Tedy mne polibte, a bude-li tatinek zdrav a spokojen, nebudu se ji g na neho hnevati."

Valjean polibil jeji jasne eel°.

"An nyni se usmejte."

Valjean uposlechl, ale byl to smith ptiS'ernk.

"A nyni mne brarite proti rnemu mangelovi."

"Cosetko!" iekl Marius.

"Jen se rozhnevejte, tatinku, keknete, ge zde musirn zustat. Co g nelze mluviti ptede mnou, ei mne pova gujete za tak hloupou? Jsem piece dnes tak hezka, jen se na mne podivej, Marie!"

RozkoSne se rozdurdila.

"Nuge, zristanu?" tazala se Cosetka.

"Nemogno," odpovedel Marius prosebne, "musime nee° vyiiditi."

"Jegte ne?"

Nebyl jig bled', nYbr g zelenozsinalSr, nemel jig v oeich slzy, ale plal v nich horeemi lesk.

nasi u guvernera Shiverse

Bylo to historicke vystoupeni, jake nema rovno v • dejinach naklao lidu v Texasu.

Nejen poprve takto nak daci jednali.

Byil take prvYnii nejen v Texasu, ale na celem Jihu, kelyZ ye stiedu ukazali guverneru Shiversovi, jak nebezpeenYm pro budoucnost jest upadani rodinneho farmakeni.

To byl pamatnY vYznam tohoto vystoupeni.

Nikdy tak farmateni rodinne neupadalo jako za poslednich 20 let pochybnYm omezovanim a tarifem.

Od 1940 Texas ztratil na 100 tisic farmatii, 25 procent. Jih pozbyl na pul milionu malYch farKongresni distrikt, v nemZ jsou okresy Fayette, Fort Bend, Lavaca, Wharton, ma o deset tisic farmaill mene, jmenovane okresy kaZdY o tisic farmatil mene.

Ale ani prstem se nikde nehnulo ohledne tohoto hroma.dneho upadani malYch faunal& Ani lilas se nikde jinde neozval.

Nak ptedaci ukazali ,nejW, en

se deje, ale i kde chyba a nap, va.

Nes"i farmaki nemohou bYti 0betovani zajrntim tarifovYin. KdyZ tarifem vzali nain trhy ba vInove, vzali nain take farmarii na tisice.

Nak mall farma •i take nemo• hou bYt omezovani stejne jako velci. Vic jak polovic vaechne baviny pochazi od pouhYch 10 procent velkYch. Devadesat procent malYch nevyda ani polovic bavlny. Mali farmati neplodi pfebytky, ale vzdor tomu stejne jsou omezovani. Tak znernoZnili farmakeni uz tisictim rodinam.

Odbyt baviny se jeate vice zteZil a omezil paritou, kcly2 baviny umele zdraZena o nekolik Nilai parita docela nestaei. At' jest parita tieba 100procentni, ale at' bavin y se prodava za tr2ni cenu a paritni pfidavek plati zvlagte. Vic baviny se proda a to znamend i vic farmaini.

Ale aby druzi mohli kupovat vie nai,i baviny, potieba tarif upravit, aby take mohli vic nam prodat svYch vYrobkii.

A pak mall farmati neinohou

Strata 27 byt stejne oniezovani 'jako velci.

Must bYti jista meze, pod kterou malY farmat nebude omezen. Jinak se nynejai upadani m.alYch farmaru nezastavi.

Dnes mladY lid takfka Smahein opouati fanny a jde do mest. Malo kterY zUstava na farmach.

Jaka budoucnost nakch osad, spolkt a Jednot vkch, bude•li to tak pokraeovat?

• prY mail lep gi budouenost v mCstech. Ale nebude-li tei lepbudoucnosti na farmich, zahy nebyla by budouenost nikde.

O tom nak p •edaei jednali s guvernerem Shiversem. Nejen jest hlavou nejvetkho statu, ale take ma ve Washingtonu nepoehybne vetai vliv neZ kdo jiny na, Jihu.. TeZ guverner Shivers sam oznae,uje toto upadani rodinneho farmateni za naa nejvalnejai kol domaci.

S nimi byli teZ ',la's' senator Gus. J. Strauss, jenZ delegaei live:di, a vydavatel Noveho Domova a peti listir anglickYch, Vlad.

Malec, jenZ k tomuto kroku popud dal.

Guverneru Shiversovi podano prohlaaeni, podepsane celou delegaci: Ten slibil uoinit, co v jeho moci, aby se tomuto nebezpeel eelilo.

Nak piediei mini stejne jednat i se senatorem Lyndon B. .11ohnsonein, viideem demokratit v senatu, jakinile pilleiitost se naskytne. A piipadne i do Washingtonu zajeti, ukaie-1i se to vYhodnYm. Tak farmateni rodinne upadlo.

Guverner Shivers dostal eestne s yYm povinnostem od zaeatku kdyi vstoupil do politickeho iivota Texasu. Dvacet let byl einnYm a jeho hlavni otazka vidy byla: "Jest to dobre pro Texas?"
